Pros: - Perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and beautifully presented food - The spicy dishes I have tried are actually spicy - Quick service - Clean restaurant with nice decor - Friendly, professional staff - Menu contains Chinese dishes that are hard to find in other restaurants - Large portion sizes Cons: - On the expensive side, although considering the portion size I feel it is worth it I have visited this restaurant a few times for dinner over the past few months and have been very impressed with their friendliness and the consistent quality of their food. I like to try new foods, but I was nervous about ordering some of the more exotic (from an American's point of view) dishes on the menu because I'm not Chinese. Of course, when I finally did they were very professional and didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all. Their dinners come with a bowl of steamed or fried rice and a cup of soup. I always get the hot and sour soup and am always impressed with the amount of flavor packed in there. I also like that there is a fair amount of vegetables and chunks of meat. The entrees I've ordered have included some form of meat and the serving size has been VERY generous, even with the more expensive cuts. The seasoning is perfect to bring out the flavor of the food. I would like to call out and recommend you try any of the braised dishes on the menu. For me it was a different Chinese food experience. A friend of mine ordered the home-style chicken, and it was presented to the table in a small braising dish. The great thing about braised dishes is the tender chunks of meat and the rich, flavorful sauce/gravy that forms at the bottom of the pan, which I sampled and it was phenomenal! The spicy dishes I've ordered have included lots of peppers and were very spicy. Every time I've been here there have only been one or two other customers there, which is a shame because I think this place is a hidden gem and should be busier.

Been here a couple of times and they are good. I like their Thai dishes more than the Chinese dishes to be honest, especially the Pad See Ew. The food might be a little more expensive than some other Chinese restaurants in TH but the staff are very nice and the food seems higher quality.

First time eating here last night and I was pleasantly surprised! It was nicely decorated - I was actually surprised - the outside doesn't give off the same vibe as the inside. But the food is why you're reading this and also why I'm writing this! I tried the Garlic Mash as an appetizer and I really liked it. It's served cold which was a surprise but it was good! A little spicy but nothing too crazy. Maybe a little salty but I'm not complaining. For my entree I chose the General Tso's with Lo Mein noodles and the portions were pretty large and it tasted much better than what other restaurants serve. It wasn't as syrupy sweet as most. Entrees come with your choice of 3 soups. I chose Wonton Soup and it was tasty as well. I also tried the Orange Chicken that a friend ordered and it was good too. They put actual orange peel shavings in it which gave it a fresher real, and again, non syrupy taste. We both really liked all we ordered and the service was also very pleasant. It probably helped we were the only customers there - it was 8:30 PM. Give it a try - Don't just pass it by!

Had the chicken with old lady sauce, something I haven't seen before. it was excellent, confidently seasoned and nice portions. The wife had the special beef with mushrooms which was excellent as well.

Can't believe Terre Haute has such an authentic Chinese restaurant! I keep coming back! They offer a limited time menu on a board so something new is always there. Though I don't know how often it's updated. The only thing missing is a good beef noodle soup (which you can get at Royal Mandarin)!

I was craving Thai and remembered this place just opened, we ordered Pad Thai and Pad see ew (sp) carry out. I could tell as soon as I opend the containers this was not going to exceed my foodie craving. No seasoning at all and seemed like the wrong noodles, they were more like pasta soggy instead of rice noodles. Everything tasted the same between the two entrees. However, they did use fresh vegetables and fresh herbs, shame hey couldn't get the correct flavors. Maybe I will try their Chinese food based on the other reviews next time, if there is a next time.

My son and I use to go to the Exotic Thai restaurant that was at this location before it became the Eastern House . He enjoyed the Curry while i liked the Cashew's with onions, and Chicken. Now the Exotic Thai restaurant is gone and in its place is a restaurant that offers a fusion of Chinese and Thai food. We have been searching for a good Chinese restaurant since our favorite Chinese restaurant, Jade Garden, was destroyed by fire some time ago. While the Chinese food isn't quite as good as the Jade Garden, the time has come to move on and enjoy what we have. We started our meal with spring rolls, which were crisp and tasty followed by Kung Pao Chicken and Mongolian beef. We asked for both to be extra spicy. The Kung Pao needed a little more soy sauce but other than that it was fresh and tasty with plenty of spicy Chili peppers. The Mongolian beef was a good counter point, that complemented the spicy sauce with a lovely sweet flavor. Spicy and Sweet go together very well in my book. The meal included soup which was pretty good. My egg drop soup needed a bit more salt for my taste and was rich and eggy in flavor. The service was wonderful and the restaurant was clean and attractive inside. You might be amazed to know that this place started life as a Dairy Queen. We will be back to try their version of the spicy cashew dish. I must admit, there were some things on the menu that i don't think i would ever have the guts to try, but you can't condemn a restaurant for offering unusual dishes. :)

My boyfriend and I decided to try Eastern House today. We order Szechuan Dandan Noodles, General Tso chicken, and a green curry with 2 bubble teas. The bubble teas are the best. I got Thai tea while my bf got a papaya one. The papaya flavor is pretty much similar to the real papaya taste, which is surprising. However, the three dishes are not quite impressive, and way too salty. I am a salt-person, but I still found that they dishes were seasoned way too much salt. We got the dandan noodle for appetizer, but it was not as spicy as we expected (maybe our expectation was too high as we are used to eating super spicy food). And one thing strange about that dish was that it would given your tongue a tingling feeling and kinda numb your tongue. (Idk whether this is what authentic dandan noodles is supposed to taste like). The General Tso chicken is so-so. But the curry, in my opinion, seriously needs some improvement. It was runny (and salty) even though the curry flavor was bold and authentic. Also, the range of ingredients for the curry was kinda limited: chicken, eggplant, and peppers with some basil for garnishment. Both my bf and I thought that this place is a great place for bubble tea as their bubbles are correctly cooked and maintain a right softness. The flavors are various and delicious. And $3.25 for a cup of bubble tea is not bad as it is a rear treat in Terre Haute. However, food won't be the reason to bring us back because the quality does not meet the high price (Most menu dishes for dinner are $8-$10)

Bland in flavor and minimal vegetarian service at lunchtime. Even their panang had a chicken base. Can't speak toward the meat side of the menu, but try someplace else if you are a vegetarian

Very clean inside, nice atmosphere with the new renovation. Extremely friendly staff. Food took a little longer than we were used to for similar. The Mongolian Beef was phenomenal. The pork fried rice was lacking. Will definitely return to try the other menu items.

Nice remodel, friendly staff. Lunch prices are dirt cheap and portions are generous. I had to get a to-go box for my mango chicken because I couldn't finish it all. It was delicious though, and presentation was nice. May ask for them to add some heat next time. Also ordered a boba tea, which was delicious and may be the only place in TH where you can order one. They don't offer as many Thai entrees as Exotic Thai did, but my experience was 10/10 and I will definitely be back for more.

I lived in China for two years and I will tell you that this is the most authentic Chinese food you can find anywhere around here. Even most big city Chinese places have pandered to the American palate. Don't bother with the Thai food -- the staff are Chinese and so is the food. If you want Thai food, go somewhere where there are Thai people cooking. That having been said, there are many treats here you cannot find at American-Chinese restaurants. Yes, you might not like everything but that doesn't mean it's not authentic. Many of the things found here you would not be able to find at your typical American-Chinese restaurant because they have taken "unpopular" items off the menu once Americans turn their noses up at them. But notice how many Chinese people are eating here. I haven't tried everything, but so far nearly everything is authentic and tasty -- just stay away from the Thai dishes. Finally, you can order off the menu -- the cook(s) can be convinced to make something if they know how to make it. I asked for some "leng ban" cucumber 冷拌黄瓜 and received a very nice rendition. MEATY 毛家红烧牛 - Mao Family Braised Pork * This is a meaty/fatty delicacy with the taste of five-spice. é±¼é¦™è‚‰ä¸ - Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce * A staple across China and this is a great rendition of it -- thin strips of pork with vegetables. 本楼星洲米粉 - House Singapore Noodles * Delicious curry noodles with an assortment of meats. å››å·å¹²ç…¸ç‰›è‚‰ä¸ - (Sichuan fried) pan-shredded beef * Delicious and spicy savory beef dish, usually with a sprig or two of cilantro. VEGETARIAN è’œè“‰ç©ºå¿ƒèœ - On Choy with garlic * It's said that this dish shouldn't be eaten too much because the hollow stems will make you hollow, but that's just a myth. Tasty and authentic! 蒜蓉豆苗 - Snow pea shoots in garlic sauce * Another vegetarian delight with a nice garlic flavor. å°–æ¤’åœŸè±†ä¸ - Shredded potatoes with spicy peppers * This is not like hash-browns because the potatoes are not cooked until they are mushy. They are lightly al-dente with a spicy finish. é†‹æºœåœŸè±†ä¸ - Shredded potatoes with vinegar sauce * As above, but with a tart but tasty vinegar sauce. 东北地三鲜 - Potato, eggplant and green pepper * The "three earthly delights" from the northeast, in a tasty sauce that is lightly sweet-tart.

I am extremely disappointed with Eastern House. This restaurant used to be called Exotic Thai, and they had the best Thai in the Midwest I believe. The Thai curry was thick and flavorful, and they always got the spicy level right. The curry used to be SO good, but the Thai curry now at Eastern House is extremely watery and has very little flavor. Strangely, the to go container of curry had about an inch layer of oil on the top. I thought this was weird and kinda gross that they would put that much oil in, and I just decanted it off into the garbage. I also got veggie fried rice as a side, and the fried rice was like any other fried rice you'd get at a Chinese restaurant. It had the broccoli, the carrots, the peas, and was fried in oil. No special spices, nothing out of the ordinary. It was so plain, and I was irritated I didn't have soy sauce in my to-go bag because it needed it for sure! Both dishes were so bland, I immediately regretted my purchase. I couldn't believe that a restaurant that used to make such good food had just gone downhill like that. This Thai restaurant had changed their name several times in the past (something about foreigners having a limit to the years they can own a business in the states), but the new family members have definitely let me down, I'm sorry to say. I would not recommend Eastern House. There are plenty of restaurants in Terre Haute- try Tokyo across the street!

Nice atmosphere. Fresh vegetables. Although the beef was so chewy it was almost disgusting I had to give it a 2 star. I tried the garlic beef. No garlic taste at all. I would not recommend this place to anyone even knowing fully well there isn't much quality around Terre Haute when it comes to Chinese/Asian food.
