Hey there, food enthusiasts! Let me take you on a savory journey to China House in Woodbury – a gem I've cherished for many moons.

In the wake of the pandemic, our beloved Chinese eateries took a hit, and China House wasn't spared. But guess what? They're back, baby! While the indoor dining vibe is alive again, it's not the full-service extravaganza we used to relish. You'll find yourself sauntering up to the main counter to place your order, and then, voila, your feast arrives with plastic forks as the cherry on top.

Now, I must admit, I miss the elegance of those delicate teapots and those adorable little porcelain cups that made every sip of tea feel like a royal affair. Oh, and let's not forget those noodles dipped in that luscious orange sauce – absolute perfection!

Despite the slight detour from full-service glory, China House remains a solid culinary haven. The flavors? Always on point. The ambiance? Welcoming and warm. And the service, though altered, still carries the essence of hospitality we adore.

Here's to hoping they reclaim their throne of full-service magnificence soon! Once they do, mark my words, China House will easily ascend to a glorious five-star status. Until then, let's raise our plastic forks in appreciation of this culinary haven that continues to stand tall amidst the storm. Cheers to China House – a true taste bud triumph!
