China House — Restaurant in Pine Township

So we've eaten here a few times now and have been getting something different each time. So far everything is exactly as you'd expect except the Mongolian chicken but don't let that fool you. It's freaking delicious. I was expecting the standard saucy crispy chicken pieces that you get from the mall but I couldn't have been further from the mark. There is a bed of fried rice noodles on the bottom and the chicken is thinly shaven and super tender seasoned with what tastes (and feels) like crushed szechuan peppercorn. Granted I did ask for mine extra spicy and it's achieving it in a way only peppercorn and not pepper powder can do, I highly recommend you ask for it extra spicy too. It lends something to the meal I feel would be missing without the extra heat. The onions and green onion are ever present and there is a fairly thin sauce they were cooked in. I do want to note the tenderness of the chicken, it's heavenly. I've had about as much chicken as any other American and I can say with absolute certainty that this is the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life. Whatever this dish is, whether it's Mongolian chicken or it's Monhellyesian chicken it's absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend this, the lo mein, fried rice, teriyaki chicken, crab rangoons, egg drop soup, and...

We live in Cranberry and ever since Hong Kong Chinese in Cranberry closed we have been looking for a good alternative. We think we've found it in China House. Great food and I say this as someone who grew up in NYC where great Chinee food can be found in every neighborhood. One of the things hard to find up here is boneless spare ribs. China House makes them great ! However, and here is the rub. They are very inconsistent when they have it. Too may excuses and stories as to why they don't have it. And the latest, today, is call before 4:30pm and we can make it for you. Well heck why didn't you tell me that the last three times I asked this week! So bottom line great food (Teriyaki chicken is great so is beef and chicken with broccoli) but don't understand why boneless spare ribs is so hard to make. In NYC no problem getting it at any neighborhood place. I would give them a five but this thing with the spare ribs...

My family and I had been coming to China House for over a decade, mostly for takeout, and it’s always been one of our favorites. We love the simplicity of the food and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The owner and his family are incredibly friendly and flexible. I used to see their kids helping out or doing homework at the front — it made the place feel like home. It’s truly a family-run restaurant in the best sense.

Even after moving away, China House remains close to our hearts. It’s one of the places I make sure to revisit whenever I’m back in town visiting...
