China House — Restaurant in Shippensburg Township

Updated 12/4/20: I am dropping China House down a star from 5 to a 4, would be a 3.5 if we're an option Their food is very tasty, and the eggrolls are respectable. However, the past few times we have ordered anything beef related there is NO beef. This has happened several times and is unfortunate because I bet it would taste amazing if it were in there. I seen that another customer had the same complaint so this appears to be an ongoing problem. Hopefully the owners see this and make the proper corrections.

*This place is a small order in/take out, or buffet. The food selection is not that big (which I prefer), but the food that you do get is of much better quality that you find elsewhere. It is also respectfully priced. We bring our family here often.

China House gets 5 stars because I never have to worry if I am going to die or get sick from eating here. The food is deeeelicious and the peace of mind is priceless. Give them a try if you are...

Went here bc I was craving Chinese food after leaving Walmart and just happened to see this place in the same shopping center. Red Flag #1: I walking inside during dinner rush, and the place was empty Red Flag #2: the place smelled of feces..no joke. I almost turned around but didn’t bc I was too hungry at the time. Red Flag #3: the lady behind the counter was CLEARLY sick. She was sniffling, her voice was obviously sick sounding and she was wiping her face with her bare hands while handling my debit card. Red Flag #4: while waiting I looked up reviews and saw how many bad ones there were for the place.

The food was extra greasy. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with spring rolls and the chicken was disgusting, sauce was blan and the rolls were extra greasy. Everything tasted like it was cooked in last year’s oil. Wouldn’t surprise me honestly if I got food poisoning tonight. Heed the warnings and avoid this place...

I have no idea how this place has anything less than a 4.5 minimum. I've known the owners family for nearly 20 years, and they've never been anything but polite and courteous. The food is always amazing, had the best coconut chicken I've ever had last night. People complain about lack of people/decor or whatever, but this place is more of a take out style restaurant than a sit down joint. I've consistently ordered from China House and have literally never had a bad experience. The food and customer service is immaculate. Don't judge them by their ratings, go and grab some grub to-go, and enjoy yourself. I recommend the sesame chicken and any of the lo mein dishes. A large Lo Mein is easily a two day meal for what comes out to ~$5 per serving which is a steal for the quality. The leftovers also hold up well in case you were wondering.

Overall, love the staff, love the food, and will continue my years...
