Szechuan, Hunan, Mandarin, Cantonese and Shanghai dishes all appear on the menu at China Café. This small and modest restaurant offers a variety of regional fare as well as more familiar items. We like sitting out on the heated patio overlooking the Del Mar lagoon while sharing platters of sesame chicken, Mongolian beef and spicy Imperial lobster. There are a number of good noodle and chow mein dishes on the menu as well.
