China House — Restaurant in Canton Township

I almost never write reviews, let alone bad reviews. However my disappointment was too much that I had to.

I love khao man gai and I can’t find it at ANY restaurant, even Thai ones. I found something on this menu call “Thai chicken” and saw the picture and thought that I finally found a place that has it. Granted, it’s a Chinese restaurant so I wasn’t expecting Thai authenticity but I was expecting some semblance of what was shown on the menu. What I got is NOTHING like what was pictured or what I expected. Again, this isn’t a Thai restaurant but if a restaurant has a dedicated Thai food section and has an item on the menu, there should be an effort made or just take it off the menu? Absolute false advertisement. I just wanted to finally find a place that has khao man gai. I question the authenticity of the other Thai dishes on the menu if this is their rendition of...

Absolutely ghastly. It’s beyond me how or why anyone would find the quality of food acceptable. The reviews are misleading, as I was mislead. I can understand select dishes could be better but I did get to sample at least 6 items from the menu so that counts for something.

I ordered the set dinner for 4. General Tso’s chicken was way too sweet for anyones taste I’m pretty sure. Almond chicken, though a decent portion was just bland and chewy. The coating was soggy, like mush and just bland. Accompanying gravy was unpalatable. The same issue with the sweet and sour chicken and the wontons in the soup. The batter is floury and just gnarly. Very standard fried rice and rolls. The saving grace was the onion and pepper beef steak and probably the only thing that justifies the two stars.

Bottom line: The food is plain bad and won’t be...

Since I got Ruby Tuesday for dinner and our son got Culver's for dinner, the hubby got China House for dinner.

I walked into place the order. It was a small order and their pricing is fantastic. I was promised 10 minutes and maybe it was 11 minutes but it was super quick and the husband said it was completely delicious.

He got one egg roll, and order of pan fried dumplings, and he wanted chicken fried rice but he wanted it curried.

A note on the pan fried dumplings: a lot of restaurants have a thinner skin on their dumplings. Think about gyoza or mandu. He likes a thicker skin dumpling and China House offers that.

Ordering curried fried rice was a little tricky because it's not on the menu but I explained what he wanted and they were happy to...
