| - Pasta China has recently won my heart. In a town full of indulgence, I've realized this place is doing something different, something special even. There is something old fashioned about this place, and it is something I am growing to appreciate more and more.
I recently had their signature dish, the Pasta China, off of their Fusion menu. It is more of a chow mein with a little bit of an Italian flare. I recommend it. Now, you won't get anything fancy at Pasta China, nothing that is going to have amazing flavors that blow your mind. You may even think some dishes are a little bland. But for $4.50 you get a nice side salad, an egg role, and a HUGE plate of pasta that can easily last for two meals. The reason for the perceived blandness is simple, they don't use MSG, food coloring, extra soy sauce, gobs of sugar, or salt. Pasta China forgoes the cheap unhealthy extras that most restaurants shove down our throats. Their food tastes old fashioned, and I like it.
Would I tell Yelpers across the valley to come travel to Pasta China? No, but I can come to Pasta China on my work break, spend under $5 for a fast healthy meal that will last me two days. I don't get a food coma or a sugar rush. To top it off the service is full of smiles and friendly attentiveness. Even the atmosphere of the interior is warm and friendly. It feels like a mom and pop Greek cafe with big black leather couches and new clean decorations. The owner obviously takes pride in her restaurant, and she takes pride in the healthy food she serves in a town full of unhealthy choices.
