China Hut — Restaurant in West Columbia

This place has the best Hot Wings and Chicken Coconut Soup I have ever had! The soup is a Thai soup called “TOM KHA GAI” and the Wings are always perfectly cooked but when you get their Homemade Hot Sauce on the Wings along with the Soup, then it becomes a combination that is in my top 10 of places to eat ANYWHERE!

I have read all of these reviews and what I can say is that if you are wanting to go eat and have the owners laugh and give you high fives.... go somewhere like “Moes”, but if you want good food and understand that the owners here are hard working folks that are not there to entertain or put on a happy face every day but always crank out enormous amounts of great food (usually He is cooking and his Wife is waiting tables) then this place is a must.

As well, this place appears to be an old Waffle House or Huddle House so you can imagine the abuse it went through before this family even stepped foot in the building but it is what you would call a Diner, Drive In or Dive... and just like the show with the same name, it’s not going to be the cleanest place in the world with marble floors and fine china.....so if you want that, try any number of fine dining restaurants around Columbia. Myself, I will let DHEC give the grades and eat where they say it’s safe.... This place has an “A”...

Had a taste for Chinese so I stopped to the nearest Chinese restaurant (I have never eaten here before). I told the lady that I wanted honey mustard wings, she repeated it to me. I asked to see my plate before she tied it up and she gave me teriyaki wings. I told her this isn't right she said "you said teriyaki" I said I DON'T EAT TERIYAKI SO I KNOW I DIDN'T SAY THAT. She rolled her eyes and put the wings in a separate bowel. Now she already had wings cooking for an order that was after mins, rather than dropping some while theirs was cooking she made me wait another 15 mins before she dropped my new wings. Then she pours my lo mein from the other container into a new one and has the lo mein sauce ALL OVER the new container, proceeds to dump my new wings in the lo mein sauce and then adds my honey mustard on top of the wings. Needless to say my wings are soggy and gross and my noodles are a soggy mess as well. I will NEVER...

I had a previous meal from here and enjoyed; unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the items I purchased last night, Saturday. I ordered deep fried wontons. The wontons were so hard, if I threw one against the wall, it probably would’ve put a hole in the wall. I was truly afraid to eat them for fear I would chip a tooth!!! The hot and sour soup was an issue all of its own. It looked like curdled dark gravy with an over abundance of hot pepper flakes in it. It had no mushrooms, sprouts or anything that even resembled what is typical in hot and sour soup; including the “chicken” broth base. I was so extremely disappointed by this experience. As a result, I will never order from here again....
