By far my favorite take out close to home...I can walk! So the Browns lost...I guess take out it is and why not China House. I had the egg drop soup and a pint of shrimp/broccoli, the perfect serving. I love the egg drop soup, they have a heavy yolk ratio, so nice and yellow. The shrimp/broccoli was nice and fresh, yes I said fresh. The broccoli was still firm and perfect green and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Family owned, quick and pleasant service and always delicious! I know I will order again soon, you should too.

I ordered a pepper steak via Doordash and my BF ordered spicy hunan beef...so we both ordered beef dishes. I ate mine immediately and upon the first or second bite, the meat tasted chewy and strange and the food overall had a strange taste (like chemicals or maybe cleaning products, who knows). I didn't want to complain because my BF says I'm a picky eater. The rice was mushy pork fried rice with no pork and flavorless. I tried to force myself to eat it because I was sooo hungry but found myself going back to eating my sour dough pretzels instead and that's when I knew something was wrong because pepper steak is one of my favorite dishes, when cooked correctly. I ended up giving the rest to my BF who has a much stronger stomach then I. He said the meat tasted totally different from his, although we BOTH ordered beef. My stomach started hurting and feels as if my body either wants to vomit or diarrhea. After two days and loss of appetite, I can still feel the horrible taste. I would have given 3 stars just to be generous but after my stomach upset, I'd feel bad not to warn others. BUYER BEWARE! The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is because there is a Chinese restaurant in my neighborhood that is far worse so just imagine! #NEVER AGAIN!!!

Ordered online and got the confirmation for 6:48 pick up. Arrived about 6:45, it is now 7:42 and just now leaving. Never. AGAIN. Stay away. Far far away. Not worth it.

I'm not sure why this place has such bad reviews; it's your standard hole-in-the-wall Chinese take-out place and I had no problems with the food. Sure it's definitely not fancy, could use a good cleaning, and the staff speak broken English, but the prices are cheap and the food was A-Okay. I actually liked it better than King Wah. When we stopped in there were four other customers picking up/placing orders so you know it can't be that bad. We went with the Special Combination Plates which includes a meat with pork fried rice and an egg roll for less than $8. We got the Coconut Chicken, the Sesame Chicken and a side of Crab Rangoons. The rice was yellow and had bits of pork, onion, and bean sprouts in it. The Egg roll was standard size, crispy and tasty. I also enjoyed my coconut chicken dish. My only complaint with the food lies in the crab rangoons which were more chewy than crispy (could have cooked longer) and they were more like cream cheese and diced onion rangoons as there was no crab in these babies. Overall, I'd hit this place up again for some satisfying Chinese take-out! I'd like to try their Honey Chicken and Steamed Dumplings.

Misfortune Cookies from China House.Had I cracked them open before sampling the four different take-out items, my fortunes should have read something like this:----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mystery Meat Chow Mein is in your future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will soon be very disappointed with your order.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't expect happiness from China House.----------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe just plain bad luck, but out of three visits in 7 years, with at least 3 dishes each time, we've never had anything even "fair". Nothing was ever salty, but neither did any dish taste even remotely Chinese. I've never eaten canned Asian meals---don't know if there is such a thing---but this is what I'd expect it to taste like.This last visit was the worst of all. Maybe other dishes are okay, but what we ordered I'd never recommend.CHICKEN CHOW MEIN * . . . Worst "velveting" preparation I've ever had. Every chicken piece looked like---and had the texture of---fat. Pale yellow and sponge-like. After trying just two pieces, all chicken was shoved to the side of the plate, then thrown out. I've made chow mein several times, and whatever China House did to get this unappetizing result was either a huge mistake or ignorance of Chinese cooking techniques. Out of necessity, I added my own soy, sesame oil, and oyster sauce to the remaining ingredients, in order to flavor this unseasoned dish---which consisted of just celery, bok choy, and a total of 6 or 7 single onion wedge slices. No other ingredients. No bean sprouts, water chestnuts, mushrooms, or bamboo shoots. VEGETABLE EGG FOO YOUNG * * . . . peas, carrots, bean sprouts, and eggs--- that's all. No water chestnuts, mushrooms, discernible onions, or snow peas. As basic as basic can get---and without flavor---except for the unpleasant "earthy"-tasting fried exterior with burned edges. The only redeeming aspect was the brown sauce and steamed white rice. PORK FRIED RICE * * * . . . the plainest-tasting and looking we've ever had. Very few pork pieces, but at least no chunks of fat or gristle.EGG ROLLS * . . . a large (1.5" x 1.5") piece of hard, barely-cooked cabbage in the one I had. Very firm exterior. Was probably re-fried or re-heated---to warm it throughout---when we ordered. If there was any ingredient other than cabbage, we didn't taste it or see it.CARRY-OUT CONDIMENTS . . . no stars, since none were given. No soy sauce, or hot mustard and sweet sauce for egg rolls, in the bag. Used my own. Contacted them and was given no apologies for the omission. She said that they never give condiments unless they're asked for. (Noticed no sign to indicate this when order was picked up.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Because it had been about 4 years since our last visit, I ordered what I believe are the easiest to prepare and probably among the most frequently chosen. I try these dishes first from all Chinese places where we've never eaten, BEFORE any other dishes. If a restaurant can't get THESE right, I can't imagine they'll do a satisfactory job on others. CHINA HOUSE has the worst Chinese food we've ever eaten---all three times. We gave it three tries and will never return. When you think of all the wonderful ingredients that make up flavorful, inviting Chinese dishes---whether authentic or Americanized---from the unique vegetables, to the sauces and seasonings---but then to serve up such surprisingly bland results---with the absolutely bare minimum of poorly-prepared ingredients---I'd say it's time to return to square one, and begin using recipes from even the most basic of Chinese cookbooks.

Food was average to decent but they forgot some items we orders. After calling they said they would bring the missing items and they never actually came to bring the missing items.100% would not recommend.

Horrible overcooked beef sticks.Moo shoo pork pancakes stuck to one another and weren't useable or edible.Pork fried rice boring and tasteless.Other entrees barely edible.Totally disappointing for over $50 worth of food and not one thing tasted good. How hard is it? Chinese food? Make it work!

This food was straight trash. Fried foods were somehow burnt but not crispy. Beef and broccoli was undercooked and slimy. Even the rice was somehow mushy. Save yourself the trouble and don't order from here

I had done over $200 of business with them. I ordered some food just for me for a change. My order was around $5.00. They evidently had a $10 minimum for credit cards. I offered to increase my order and buy more food to get the bill over their $10 minimum for credit cards. They refused to allow me to buy more food and get the bill over $10. They insisted that I pay a surcharge for the order. They lost not only that order, but all of my future business. I don't deal with power freaks who would rather lose a dollar to gain a dime!

Food is hit or miss. The fried potstickers are awful. They used to be doughy and good. Now they are super thin. And Tonight's were fried way to much and hard. The beef w garlic sauce has zero spice. The egg rolls also need work with being crispy. Sad bc I like that they deliver but will have to elsewhere next time
