Beijing House — Restaurant in Lubbock

I’ll admit at first I wasn’t a fan. And that’s simply because I like fried food. The food I ordered wasn’t fried. (My fault!) After expressing to the manager that we weren’t satisfied, they explained that their food is generally more healthy for their regulars.

Now this doesn’t mean they don’t have fried food… they totally do and after getting the orange chicken instead I was much happier with my food. If you’re someone who prefers food that isn’t as oily and fried, then this place is an amazing option. They make a lot of their food healthier.

The manager was super kind and helpful and the service was top notch. It’s no wonder this place has been around for 40 years. They accommodate the Lubbock community. I am excited to go back and try the Mongolian BBQ.

Thank you again to the management and employees for being so accommodating. Kind people running a local business will always...

The place is order-at-the-counter humble fare. If you want it "melt your face" spicy, they will happily accommodate. There is a big Mongolian grill in the middle of the dining area, but as of this writing, it has not returned to service since covid. They have standard Americanized Chinese meals, and a couple trad meals. My favorite snacko is the Mai Fun noodles. One section has booths & non-moveable seats, and the other is move-able tables & chairs, so you can get a big group in there. The furniture and fixtures still have that " I've been in the same room as things that are fried" patina... kinda weirdly sticky, but it doesn't feel dirty, if that makes sense. The bathrooms are small, 80s style. Single-wide door entries on both sides have mud-areas, and one of the entries (east) is very narrow. They grow veg on the property, and it makes me happy to see squash blossoms and vines...

Ordered Happy Family and although menu said it had scallops, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots there was none. Basically 2 pieces of chicken, 3 small slivers of beef, 4 small shrimp, about a table spoon of cabbage, and lots of broccoli, carrots, zucchinis, and onions. Did I say very little brown sauce? And despite missing 3 of the main ingredients, I was charged full price. Who knows how the food might taste if it were not overcooked and in need of a reheat in the microwave. Really disappointed, I expected better. Don't see myself going back. Guess I'll have to keep looking for someplace to get my Chinese food fix. Spent $40 for lukewarm overcooked food. Oh well, I came, I saw, I tasted,...
