THIS is the place for your Chinese cravings. Authentic, fresh and delicious every single time. We’re repeat customers easily! Never had a poor experience or meal from here. FAIR WARNING: It is a ONE MAN show back there, owner does all of the cooking and order taking himself. It will be about an hour or so wait on busy nights. Don’t let that turn you off though! It is worth the wait.

When I visited my cousin who recently moved to Merrill, we decided to try out this place.

The place looks like it has seen better days, but you know if it's a sketchy stripemall restaurant, you know the food is gonna slap. We ordered our food and waited for a bit, which was fine since there's only one guy running the who thing.

We grabbed our food and went back to his place, and oh my god, it slapped so hard. It was the best general tsos and lo mein I have ever had. The guy running the joint is doing magic.

Would highly recommend. Great food at a decent price.

The chef pays attention to detail! The best Chinese food I ever ate hands down...we ordered the orange chicken which had candied orange in it. Every single dish tasted different and so fresh. It was cooked right in front of us in the galley style kitchen. The vegetable chicken was so delicious...you could taste the fresh lemon in the marinade! And when I opened the house fried rice I could not believe what a beautiful color it was. I could not say enough good things about the attention to detail. Fyi it's a good idea to call ahead and order over the phone. It is worth the wait.

Terible food, long wait, looks trashy, the food here is terrible the rice texture is grainy and the sauce for the chicken is thick like barbecue sauce. I ordered crabragoon and chicken which took 30 minutes snd when i got there the chicken and crab was cold. When i went inside the tiles on the floor were dirty the walls were terrible. If you were to go somewhere for chinese, go to Kues. They never left me down, and have an amazing atmosphere and food.

Overall: First time eating here, CASH ONLY. Was searching for Chinese food while on my stay for training in the area, and found this was the closest to my hotel. Placed my order and the staff on the phone said it'll take about 30 minutes. Arrived and my order wasn't ready yet, and discovered it was only the gentleman who managing all services: cooking, answer phones, and processing transactions. Food was very poor: salty for Singapore Mei Fun, the rice in the House Special Fried Rice was hard, Pork Chop Suey and Chicken Hunan was very salty. Only the white rice and Rangoon taste like it typically should at all chinese restaurants. My verdict, travel to Wausau (about 15-20 minutes away) and grab some better food.

Environment: 1/5 - floor tiles was very dirty and looks like it hasn't been mopped or maintained daily. The hot water dispenser on the table looked like there was water spots stained onto it. Was observing the cook and noticed that he used the same sauce that was used to cook the vegetables, then placed them onto the top shelf while he cooked other foods. While on the top shelf, the water dripped down onto a pan and he later used it for future dishes to cook.

To Dana Diels- hoping you are a recently new citizen to Merrill. The China Inn is very, very popular here. It is silently understood that they get extremely busy for lunch 11A- 1P and dinner 5P- 7P. I have called many times and have had a few times where they did not answer- due to there are only 1 full-time cook and another cook/cashier, which causes delays as you can imagine. Best advice- plan ahead as well as you can and experiment with finding the best time to call.

I have ordered from China inn for years and after tonight will never be ordering again. Placed an order for pick up and went to pick up the order, got in the car and checked through the bag to make sure everything was there, which it wasn’t. So I went back in to tell them that we were missing an item and she looked at the other orders on her counter and realized we got the wrong order entirely. She was extremely rude and said accusingly, “I hope that you didn’t open the food containers that I gave you” and I told her I didn’t, just opened the bags and checked to see what was all in it. I was required to bring the original order back into the store to exchange it for the correct order. Not a big deal except while I was there she started packing up the food that I had just brought in into a new bag to give to the correct person who had placed that order!!!! Last time I checked, once food leaves your premises you are not to give that to another person and we are in the middle of a pandemic where we are fighting against spreading germs to other people. This was appalling to me and that coupled with their awful customer service is why I will never be going back.

I ordered 4 lunch specials and 1 regular menu item for co-workers and myself over the phone and was informed it would be approximately 30 to 40 minutes. I noticed half of the order was sitting there when I walked in and was told it would be a few more minutes. After waiting approximately an hour from the time I called, my order was finished. However, in my chow mein, there were no crispy noodles, but rather soupy undercooked veggies. The rice was also not fully cooked leaving most grains dry and crunchy. I understand the man was working alone, but I just ask for honesty with wait time and the food to still be of quality.

While the food is great the timing for pickups leaves alot to be desired. Was told order would take 45 minutes. Was an hour before I arrived and then waited an additional 30 minutes. He hadn't even begun to prepare it till after I arrived. Another couple that were waiting when I arrived were given their food about 15 minutes after I got there and turns out it was done and sitting on counter the whole time. When told 45 minutes, you better wait an hour and a half before you go.

Food is awesome flavor and price. Make sure when you order it you are not in any hurry to eat. They are notorious for saying 20 minutes and when you go to pick it up it is another 20 waiting there for it to actually be done. It is worth the wait. My favorite is General Tso chicken platter or chicken love mein. Comes with fried rice and choice of eggroll or crab rangoons. All for a good price. And more than enough food for one person to eat at once unless you are super hingry

Great soup, by quart. I was ill and my friend ran & got me two quart, EggDrop & WonTon. I live over by the GAZEBO. SOUP WAS STILL VERY HOT! PS: This happened to be on 1 of Merrill's wonderfully worst snow storms, & darn COLD.
After being in ER all day this was great, several meals, warmed in microwave. Easy to get a good meal when you're down off your feet!
Thanks u guys!

The food is good, which is why we order from them, but again they gave us misleading time for pick-up. It was suppose to be 40 minutes and once again it has already been about 90 minutes and we are still waiting. Please try to be more realistic when providing times. We don’t mind the wait, but don’t want to drive there and then have to wait another hour after stated time. Thanks!.... editing post.... do not order from here unless u are willing to have to wait due to them lying about the pick-up time. Food was suppose to be ready at 6:55 and it’s now 8:15. Wife is just now leaving there. No apology...nothing. Wouldn’t be so bad if this was the first time, but it’s not. If you were looking for a way to lose a customer, you found it. Regardless if u are by yourself cooking, don’t lie to your customers and at least show some empathy.

Food use to be the best in town. You had to wait but it was perfect. Then around October I noticed different people cooking. There was always an older gentleman of Asian and a an Asian woman who ran it. Suddenly they were gone and so is the flavor and technique. It lacks flavor. It just isn't the same. I even tried it again in a month. Still same new people, middle aged woman and a very young girl assisting. My order wasn't even what I'd ordered. What a shame. We haven't returned. Please bring back the original staff. The man who was older of Asian decent was a genius.

The food is okay, but they always give incorrect times when ordering carry out. They told us forty minutes and it has already been about 80 minutes and still no food. That is ridiculous...it’s understandable once in a while, things happen, but it’s like this every time we order from them. If they say 30 minutes, it ends up being 60 minutes.
