    Worst China Cottage location award! This is an older location, and I get that, but it's gross. It's dirty. It's grimy. And if you go to the restroom you'll be lucky to get out because your shoes will be so stuck to the floor. The food is not up to the standards of the other locations either. Just yuck! Drive a little further, and go to a better location.

    Best Chinese restaurant in Dayton! Food is fresh and never greasy. Prices are reasonable and service is always great. Would recommend getting the complete dinner with any meal.

    I've been coming to this restaurant for 25 years now (since it opened) and have never been disappointed with the food. It is the best Chinese food in the area. The service depends on who is serving you. If you have an inexperienced server, they will most likely be bad (caucasians have always been bad for no reason in particular). The food is great with standard Chinese food prices. They used to have a Chinese menu for actual Chinese people (and adventurous westerners) but they've phased it out. They will still make anything that used to be on the menu (Cottage dumplings are still available upon request). The hot and sour soup is the best I've ever had (I lived in China for ten years, eating at most of the well-known restaurants). And the traditional menu comes highly recommended. Exceptional for standard Chinese fare. Peking duck was a little dry, but this is something that should be made by a duck place (lacquering the ducks all day).

    Dayton isn't know for it's chinese food, but this is as good as it gets. I just don't like this location. It's small with a 4 or 5 seat bar area, the fish tank smells and the tables are too close together.

    Large selection of entrees. Tasty food. Good prices. About what you'd want to find in a neighborhood Chinese restaurant.

    China Cottage is definitely a go-to place for Chinese in Dayton. Always consistently good food, fresh ingredients, and clean environment. We typically order to go but the few times we have dined in the service was prompt and friendly. I'm sure the food here is very Americanized Chinese food, but it's good and that's what matters to me! In my opinion their hot and sour soup is the best around and I love the pork fried rice (extra spicy for me please!). China Cottage is a little more expensive than some of the other places around town but less than others, pretty much in the middle from a price standpoint. Check them out, the food is great!

    Best Chinese food in Dayton, for sure. Not greasy like other Chinese places, and the pricing is actually really good. Their lunch special (until 3pm) serves a soup, 2 crab rangoon, and any dish, for about $8. Unbelievably good. I love the Chicken Lo Mein and Creamy Chicken soup (which I tried on the server's rec and was completely impressed). Very very yummy! Also the atmosphere is nice and doesn't feel like you're in a dive.

    Best Chinese place in Kettering. The restaurant is old and dark, but I usually do takeout. They put every delivery Chinese place in the area to shame.

    Good service, good food, and some decent wine and beer pricing. I think this is the best Chinese in town, Flying Tiger in Fairborn a close second. This location is currently being remodeled but is still open, Centerville location is done being remodeled. I have a meeting in 2 minutes but I have to point out that after going last night, I'm growing bored of their food. Having Chinese in Dayton is never a culinary adventure, but I certainly am not finding that the addition of BD's, etc. is not really kicking it up a notch - definitely not motivating any growth in the existing Chinese food market. I'd have to say that the food here is decent and consistent to say the least, but it's getting a little old. I'd rather have Thai or Vietnamese anyday.

    One of my favorite Northern Chinese dishes is Mu Shu and it's full of cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts, scrambled egg, scallions, your choice of meat and then flavored with a dab of plum sauce and then all rolled up in a crepe. Looks like a burrito...and some waiters jokingly call it a Chinese Burrito. Now most servers will just set all this down on your table, smile and then scurry away, probably because they're such a pain in the butt to roll up without it all falling apart. This place though, has a server named Connie who will gladly make them for you table side. Actually, she insists on doing it for you. She fills, sauces, flips, rolls and then sets them on your plate, all the while using only chopsticks. Give her about 20 seconds and she'll have 2 of them on your plate and ready to eat. She's a chopsticks wizard and I've actually applauded her for her skills. (It embarrassed her by the way). I always ask for Connie as the service can vary from somewhat lackluster with their other servers to really good with Connie. It's a nice enough place but dark and kinda cramped with tables that are just a little too close together. It's not bad and it's not great but frankly Dayton doesn't have a lot going on when it comes to Chinese food. This restaurant? It's alright. If you are ever in the area, I'd say to give them a try. If Connie is working: I give this place is about 3.75 Stars with an extra spoonful of plum sauce.

    Avoid at all cost. By far the worst location out of the three in the Dayton area. Taste and quality is far from the rest. It's the closest to my job and sometimes I hope that I'd walk in and the food is like the other locations. I've had tasteless food several times. This trip I ordered the lunch portion and they gave me a portion of a portion. Asked to fix problem and they refused. Will return food and get refund. STAY AWAY!!! Update: returned food as asked by staff. The guy wanted to argue with me and snatched the receipt. This has NEVER happened at any of the other locations. I forgot, never had a complaint at the other locations. RUDE and not customer friendly.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
