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.

They are just so nice! I always order bourbon chicken and white rice. They make the food fast, and I've never had any stomach issues or anything. Other places around Temple's campus for Chinese food has always made me sick, with the exception of Master Wok. Since, this isn't a corporation Chinese food restaurant, I would have to say they are on top of things! They deliver and they are pretty cheap. They also have lunch specials you should take advantage of.

By far the best Chinese take out at Temple! General Tso's chicken and dumplings are always the best and the best thing is its CHEAP and you get TONS of food. The other take out places have made me sick and wish I had just gone to China House. They are really nice also and actually speak ENGLISH!!!

Fast, free delivery and great food, yet very reasonably priced (what more could you want from a Chinese restaurant right smack dab on Temple's campus?)! I've never actually been to the place itself but have had food delivered a few times. My favorites are the pizza rolls and the General Tso's tofu.

A good, solid take-out restaurant that gives you a lot of food at a reasonable price. The employees are usually reasonably polite, and delivery usually doesn't take too long.

THEIR FOOD IS SO ADDICTING! Good food, fast, and cheap! The portion sizes are LARGE! Their location is perfect because I live around the corner. The reviews are right, the staff is a little unwelcoming but they do serve a lot of teenagers and college students .. so I wouldnt exactly be super excited either. And considering it's cheap, to-go chinese food, it's not top quality (but I'm okay with that because I still get a hot meal for $5!) I am not a fan of the sesame chicken .. so much breading, I don't even know if there's any chicken in there. I have had their steamed dumplings, which are so addicting. The boneless spare ribs were good too!

The best general tso's chicken in the world. I truly believe that this is the best Chinese takeout place ever. The staff is a little unfriendly but it's understandable why(serving college students must be tiring.)

Better than Temple Star. The food was delicious and I got a free iced tea and fortune cookies with my order.

Customer service is terrible. No greeting after I greeted first. No smiles. No "you're welcome" after saying thank you. Food is just alright, nothing special

The best General Tso at a Chinese take-out I have ever had. I've never tasted better. The chicken is very tender and the sauce does not over power your taste buds. I've constantly recommended the Tso and never have I been given a negative review about it.

Extremely disappointed. I ordered BBQ chicken wings with rice last night (which i have ordered before with no problem) and what i received, i believe, is NOT chicken. The "chicken wings" are so odd shaped and small, all it consists of is skin and bone drenched in BBQ sauce. I refused to eat it, getting nauseous at the thought of what it might actually be, and threw it away. I usually frequent this Chinese place because they have pretty good food, but the quality is sometimes inconsistent. This was a waste of $5.

This place didn't impress me at all. Food is simply mediocre:; won ton soup was good, but nothing more than that. And yes, they better lower the prices, not reasonable for such a place at all!!!

Four Golden Rules of Chinese Takeout: 1. It better be cheap 2. It better be good, Americanized Chinese food 3. It better be big 4. It better not take long to get here The General Tso's was pretty good, but needed some spice. The hot and spicy pork was not hot and spicy, nor did it taste good (PS do not put undercooked chunks of stringy celery in the stir fry). I'm a connoisseur of egg drop wonton soup, and this one was mid-grade. The prices are what I consider to be standard for PHL, and the serving sizes were quite large. My biggest gripe was the delivery. I live six blocks South of this place and it took them an hour and fifteen minutes on a Tuesday night. The driver was very nice, but by the time he got here, the food was pretty cold and my mood had dampened.....as you can see by this review, it has not improved.

This is my favorite non Chinatown chinese food anyway, I repeat anywhere. In my travels I compare any takeout beef lo mein and general tso to the food I get from here. The combination of the pricing and the amount of food is a big plus. I have been eating from there since my for almost 10 years and I have not been disappointed in those two dishes.
(5)Nicole S.
Dumplings and sesame chicken were pretty good. My order seemed to take way too long for a Monday night though. The place isn't much for service or atmosphere (it's really just a take out only kind of place) but the quantity and quality were surprisingly good.

"Inconsistency" sums up China House, and, boy, is it aggravating. How can the staff deliver crisp nuggets of juiced-up white meat in a spicy sweet sizzling sauce one minute and churn out dry chunks of chicken gristle in lukewarm re-heated sludge the next? These schizophrenic shifts in quality are simply maddening and, in the end, just too much to deal with, recognizing the four other take-outs in a two block adjacency. Go at peak lunch hours (or shortly thereafter) and you (hopefully) won't be disappointed. The cooking may even inspire you. Made to order and it's worth the wait. You might want to order classic pork egg foo young - it's non-greasy, loaded with hacks of pork, greens, bean sprouts. It's delicious covered in the thick and nutty gravy. Or you can stake you claim on the fried dumplings - homemade, plump, evenly seared. Et cetera. The chefs do deliver solid and precise classic take-out standards But gamble an order at any other time and you're pushing your luck, buddy. Maybe the peak lunch hour chef knows how to cook and the others don't. But, man, the food, especially around dinner, can border on the barely edible. Finding the chicken, or an onion, or a pea, or a carrot, in the chicken fried rice is like searching for the needle in the hay stack. And how can rice this greasy taste so hard and under-cooked? Same goes with the mei fun - short on the spices and the fixings, heavy on the grease and starch. And the meats, don't even go there! Order for evening take-out and you just wonder whether the food was pre-made. It sure tastes and looks like it's been sitting on the counter for much longer than "ten minutes". This cabbage-filled "pork" egg roll sans pork wasn't cooked to order, that's for sure - there's a stack of them, pre-wrapped, sitting on a kitchen table. Lord knows for how long. Bottom line - quality take-out Chinese classics at lunchtime, pretty gross feed past the lunching hours.

Forget about those other China Houses. Lose that Temple Star take-out menu. Temple's China House on Cecil B. is THE Chinese take-out joint. I'm sure you, the consumer, are wondering what makes this particular Chinese restaurant--this particular China House--so special. Do they offer anything astoundingly different from the others? No. They just do it really well. China House is convenient and fast. The General Tso's chicken, most people's go-to, is crispy and well-sauced. The hot and sour soup, my go-to as a starter or entree usually, is appropriately sour and hot, and very chunky. Fried dumplings are delicious. My good friend and former roommate swears by their vegetarian options, particularly the General Tso's Tofu. As an added bonus, they'll often have SEPTA one-day passes for a dollar off, and even better, they now sell bottles of that ineffable rooster-branded hot sauce, Sriracha. If you live at, or near, Temple, China House ought to be your go-to. If only they were open as late as some of those lesser Chinese places, they could truly be top dog.

This place is absolutely crap. I ordered shrimp lo-mein and it was not tasty whatsoever. Go to Temple Star or Temple Garden. The only reason it gets a star is because they have a little section that has signatures from Ace Hood, Ludacris, Raekwon, and Method Man.

Me and friends always eat here after school. Whether it's just the dollar fries, the home made iced tea, a whole platter or whatever, it's decent food at a good price.
