China House — Restaurant in Sandwich Township

I REALLY wanted to like this place. My family and I had moved to the area a little under a year ago and the unfortunate part about moving far away is finding new food places. We are huge Chinese cuisine lovers and I was really excited to see this place in the area! I had really hoped that with the 4 star rating this restaurant had, it would have been decent at the very least. We ordered for take out with a $65 bill, which isn’t uncommon for us, so that part was fine, I figured that was just a good sign that this place was going to be really tasty and authentic. When we got home though, the food was basically inedible. The rice was yellow and did not have a good flavor at all. I have never been to any Chinese restaurant before where the rice was yellow. It’s always brown from the spices and other ingredients it’s cooked with, so it was a bit jarring to see their rice. It’s almost like someone was pretending to cook Chinese cuisine, but had absolutely no idea what to put in it to make it flavorful. Not a single thing we ordered was good or even decent in the slightest. I’m not sure if y’all think this is what Chinese food should taste like, but I really cannot understand how there are so many 4 and 5 star reviews saying the food is decent or good because it just isn’t. I have been very reluctant to try any of the other local Chinese restaurants in the area if this place has a 4 star rating because I cannot trust the other places to truly be decent or good if that’s what people are considering this restaurant to be. Maybe they were just having an off day or had someone filling in on the grill, but based on our experience, I would not recommend this...

I bought $97 worth of food on a Saturday at noon to be delivered by the restaurant. The dishes that used oil were obviously cooked in very old and burnt oil and tasted horrible. The egg drop soup smelled like the Fox River and when I tasted it, it was sour. They sent the bag of food with a giant unordered bag of almond cookies on top. They must have been trying to avoid a bad review with sending 75% of their food visibly days old and trying to avoid any food loss on their part. I have eaten at their buffet an hour after opening in recent months and the food was very old (day before old) and they happily tried to take the cellophane off and charge me full price. So now the buffet AND ordering are both old if they had a slow night before. If they need to raise prices, they need to do so because this isn’t the way to save money on a business. Good luck...

China House in Sandwich is disgusting. My fiancé was finishing his plate of food and looks down and sees a dead fly. And when it was brought up to the owners they only offered to comp his plate of food not our entire bill. And with having the kids with us we didn’t want to make a big deal at the time. But as we sat in the car we didn’t feel right about still having to pay the $51 as the whole bill should of been comped because who the hell wants to eat with a dead fly on there plate? So when we call and explain that we are not happy they agree to comp the entire bill and as they were doing that they said he is now banned. GREAT...
