Dearest L, Thank you for getting back to me! I agree when I came in your establishment you treated me very well. In my experience I know discrimination, the problem is others don't see it in themselves what they do, they become accustomed to the behavior! Pay more attention when black and brown people come to your establishment at the same time, pay attention to your service to both parties! If you look around your establishment you will be aware as full as it was that day, the majority of your customers were white. (Could it be because blacks are treated secondary)? Not to say you don't have black and brown people come in.It has been a number of years since I visited your restaurant, I enjoyed it so much back then, that I decided to visit again while in the area. If I was treated the same way as your other customers I would not be here making this complaint! When my dish was ready, you delivered two plates to them first with my plate in your hand as well, you still placed my plate down LAST! Let's be honest I was treated second class compared to a tables seated after me...maybe BECAUSE their meals cost more??!!!? Bigger tip?!?Remember never underestimate your customers, you never know who you're serving! God bless you as well!

It's always fun to visit a new eatery. The place is open and clean enough. And decoration Was basic Chinese..though I loved their place mats under glass. We ordered kung pao chicken and because they were homemade, we also ordered pot stickers. The chicken came first... and it was good. Spicy. And had been made with frozen peas and carrots, and celery cut in the angle. The peanuts were raw peanuts.. and the flavor had a Smokey flavor like Smokey oil was used. It was good, just not your usual king pao. The pot stickers were huge.... Good filling, but the dough was thick and of completely cooked and extremely greasy. But good tasting. Two sauce jars were placed on the table---- they were fingered and not just a few fingers. All in all food was good. A little unconventional-and sometimes hat can be good. 3-4 stars from us.

We had a lovely dinner here tonight. The three of us orders gyoza (loved it), sizzling rice soup (my mom was super excited to have this), pot stickers (they take awhile, and the gyoza was preferred), general tsos (delicious) and pork fried rice. It was a lot of food! We could have fed 2 more people with the food we had. I wouldn't come here if I were in a hurry, but the waitstaff was super friendly. Will definitely return.

The chicken is very delicious. You can taste the marinated meat. The beef is very tender. The waitress who serves is very enthusiastic.

Food was okay. The chow mein I wished it had a little more flavor. Mongolian beef was pretty good. General Tso chicken was crispy. The egg flower soup was not the best. The egg in the soup didn't feel how an egg drop in that soup should taste and feel. The service was not the best. The restaurant was pretty empty, but nobody really checked in if we needed anything or more water.

TLDR/ Price: Okay, Food: Decent, Service: Okay, Ambiance: 90's throwback, Verdict: Eh...okay.The whole experience at China House was marginal. We had to wait to be seated, which was mostly the fault of a Karen who was ordering to go. However, when the hostess/waitress finally sat us at a booth, it was across from the booth they were using to maybe do their taxes or something? It just felt very haphazard and unprofessional. The decor was dated, I mean out of last century and not in a "fun-kitschy way", but in a "dingy-cluttered" way.The menu was filled with things but the combo dinners were not great pairings and they up-charged for fried rice without making it clear. Everything came out lukewarm except for the soup and tea. It's like they had it all sitting in back for a good few minutes after dishing it up before bringing it out, no bueno. We got a combo, and ended up buying two more entrees because we were unsure of the amount of food we would get. The combo was a good option, I just wish there were more combo options that didn't include shrimp, as I have an allergy. The server was not particularly attentive, but she did finally refill our waters and tea after we pointedly placed the empty pot, lid open at the edge of the table. The food was also under seasoned, from the cloyingly sweet "hot and sour" soup to the pork fried rice we were charged extra for, the whole meal lacked salt. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't that good. Everything seemed to be made in house, but just because it was made from scratch does not make it good. I debated leaving the leftovers, but after paying over 100 dollars for our meal, I just couldn't bring myself to. Maybe it will be better, reheated in the air fryer and properly salted, but my hopes aren't high. If you are looking for Chinese food in Auburn, this might be the best option, but then again, there isn't many places to choose from. Do yourself a favor, drive a few extra miles and get something better or go here, but don't expect too much.

Did they change ownership? The service is still good. The food is not awesome like before but is about average. The food did come out very quickly.

I have ordered from China House through DoorDash and GrubHub a few times and have had no issues with them. Their portions for lunch specials for takeout is a great portion with choice of soup, rice (fried rice for an extra dollar) and entrée of your choice. I only ask that you be wary when you order something that has a lot of sauce as it can get a bit messy.As for dining in, I invited some girl friends out for girls' day for lunch here as I had positive experiences from take out so I figured I would see how going there and dining in would be like. Our server was extremely friendly and patient with us, also allowed our party to be seated even though a few of our members came in late due to traffic. He got us hot tea which was perfect for that rainy, cold day. Although our party arrived a little bit past their lunch time, our server was more than happy to let us order from the lunch menu as we had arrived before it ended so he would honor that for us which was extremely kind and sweet of him. We ordered sweet and sour shrimp, Mongolian Beef and Sichuan Pork. Each of us enjoyed our meals and soup as we were really hungry and half of us had leftovers to take for lunch tomorrow. Their chili oil is really good too, if you like a more spicy kick with your meal.The inside is very relaxing and not overly cluttered like in other Chinese restaurants. The space is pretty large with tables and chairs/booths that can fit any party size, small or large. Service was excellent and the food was satisfying. Overall, a great Chinese option in Auburn!

We liked the service level, and the food was great as far as I can be a judge. For better or worse, service personnel often rely on tips to help make a living. If you don't believe in tipping or if you are in the habit of tipping very little, you have no business patronizing anything but fast-food establishments. Combine being a demanding customer with not tipping and you become anathema to the waitstaff.I was once a job coach for the developmentally disabled and one of my clients worked at the airport providing wheelchair services for disabled travelers. They made most of their money from tips. They quickly learned that certain groups of people were notorious for stiffing the servers with no, or very little, tips. Human nature dictated that the cheapskates were avoided whenever possible or given the bare minimum of service.And, please, spare us the automatic accusations of discrimination. By now that has grown ineffective due to over and unjustified use.
