I was hungry for Chinese, not having had any since relocating from Silicon Valley 4 months ago. My husband was on his way to Lowes, so I was just looking at the options along 27th St, on the way back. China House had a 3.6 Google Reviewers rating, which is pretty high for take out Chinese, so even without being able to see a Menu, I thought I'd give them a chance. I am SO glad I did!
We ordered the Garlic Beef and Sweet and Sour chicken combos, that come with chicken fried rice and a pork egg roll. As I was dishing it up (we share) I could smell that the chicken for the Sweet and Sour was very freshly fried up. The chicken fried rice had strips of fresh SHREDDED chicken- not the canned and processed stuff you so often get. The egg rolls were flavorful, the vegetables were cooked PERFECTLY, and the sauces yummy. Everything was hot and clearly made up fresh. Oh yeah, and they advertise No MSG! So no headache or sick feeling after the meal. Honestly, the only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars is that the fortune cookies were definitely stale. If I could, I'd only dock them half a star for that.
Overall, it was a good value for fresh, delicious, food- the very best Chinese Take Out I've had in probably 20 years, despite living in heavily Asian neighborhoods for the past 13! We will definitely...
Read moreI have been a patron of this restaurant for at least 11 years. Today is the first time I have ever been insulted by the female owner. I placed a delivery order and paid with my credit card or so I thought. When the delivery arrived the driver saw a pen in my hand indicating I was going to sign my receipt. He called the restaurant and I was told my card declined. Totally baffled I asked her to run it again...declined again. I did pay with a different card. Called my credit card company who stated there was more than enough credit and that it could be an issue with the restaurants third party vendor. I called back to explain what the credit card company had explained in case another customer had an issue. The same woman stated to me very rudely," declined means no money on card". I was shocked at her tone and argumentative response to my perception of being helpful and wanting her to know I was not a dead beat customer. She stated to me again" I have the receipts stating declined." I firmly stated to her what I am telling you is my cards not the issue it was your machine and 3rd party vendor. At which point she stated ok ok..again in an annoyed tone. No thank you for letting me know..nothing epically after years of dedicated patronage I expected a different response. Horrible! ..they just...
Read moreThe first thing asked coming inside is paying cash? cash cheaper? Im like - Ugh, ok, no, im paying credit card. Ordered 3 entrees and an appetizer on a Sunday. Makes sense I would pay more since there are no lunch specials usually on a Sunday. Get rang up, and it's 48.00. I didn't ask. that's my bad. Get in the car and do the math. Somehow, I'm 10.00 over bill and a 3.00 credit car surcharge. Go inside to question, and she comes back to the cash. It is cheaper, and it makes sense now 🤔 . Why are customers paying your c/c surcharge, In America, this is what happens when you own a business and want a credit vard machine , you pay a fee. At this time, we were hungry, ready to go home, and just done. Food is ok mediocre at best. Extra fortune cookies are 1.00. The best bet is overall not worth it, and we...
