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.

Standard as far as Chinese food delivery goes. General Tso's was great, and so was the gyoza. Sweet & sour chicken and veggie lo mein were just ok. Delivery took quite a long time but I was satisfied with the meal overall, so yea, I'd order again.

I've been ordering here for a year. It was decent, nothing special but it was cheap enough. This is the last time I'm ordering from here. I ordered to my school and I wrote in the instructions to please include silverware such as spoons / forks / chopsticks because I had none at my school. I even called to confirm. I ordered soup and rice specials. They included none of it. Sure they gave me soy sauce, but how am I going to eat this food without silverware? I guess I could drink the soup and try to suck some of the tofu into my mouth, but how am I supposed to drink rice? I wish they'd just follow instructions. They've forgotten a few things here and there in the past, but this was the absolute worst because now I can't even eat my food. Seriously, don't order from here, these people just go through the motions - I'm sure if they can't follow instructions to include silverware, they probably don't take the utmost care of their food preparations or anything else. Edit: An exciting update to my story - I decided to eat like a cat. I put the tray of food to my face and licked the chicken and rice into my mouth. I felt like the little stray kittens I feed at home.

After trying practically every Chinese place in the area, this is my favorite right now. I like that you can do the online ordering through yelp, it's a lot easier than calling up. I have probably ordered from here three times now and the food has been consistently really good each time. Different chicken dishes, egg rolls, wonton soup, all great. Their delivery is also pretty fast and usually arrives within 20 minutes. This is the best Chinese place I have found in the roxborough area, in terms of being reasonably priced and still having great quality food.

Very Good! I don't have to add any soy sauce to anything. I've never been disappointed with the items I've ordered. I order through grubhub. Thumbs up for me.

Got the family dinner Any Two. Good food portion for price. Crab Rangoon weren't as crunchy as I would have liked but the filling was good! Egg drop soup not my cup of tea. Egg rolls crunchy and tasty. Got the shrimp with garlic sauce (would have been nice to have a sweet glaze as a side to balance out the garlicy taste) and the General Tso Chicken (very good). Very quick delivery service!

They're ok. I have an issue when a customer orders food and then cannot get the lunch special price for the same order after the food is cooked. Loss of cool points and a customer.
(3)Justin G.
Worst service I have ever had. Over an hour and forty minutes for two entree orders. I call twice, only to be told it was on its way. When I explained it had been that long, the employee simply responded with, "I know". It's safe to say I will NEVER order from here again and neither should you.

We just moved to the area and were looking for some good, cheap Chinese. All of the places in the area seem to have mixed reviews. The idea of bad Chinese food really freaks me out, so we had to just pick one an hope it was decent. We were pleasantly surprised by China House! We ordered on grub hub and it said it would take about an hour for delivery--they arrived in about 20 minutes! And it was down pouring. The food was good--your typical greasy Chinese that you just NEED every once in a while. The shrimp lo mein was really good. We also got egg drop soup, crab rangoons, sesame chicken, steamed dumplings, and chicken with broccoli. Everything was good! Will order again when we need our Chinese fix.
(4)Kimberly C.
Incredibly fast. But it's fast because they do not drain the grease. Everything was oily. Even the egg drop soup. I will never order from here again.

I can't say anything negative to say about this place - they make good basic Chinese food. I have ordered from here numerous times. Tonight we had the General Tso's, Moo Shu Shrimp, Sesame Cold Noodles, Steamed Dumplings, and Shrimp Toast. The dumplings were a bit smaller than some other places. BTW while they have a couple of tables along the wall this is your basic takeout only place.
(4)Krista M.
Fast delivery but the food doesn't have much flavor. I got sesame chicken, crab ragoons and wonton soup - nothing blew me away so I probably won't order from here again.
(2)Jasmine U.
This is as good as chinese take out gets, I had the general tso chicken which I ordered through the yelp app, it was ready when I got there and the cook was friendly. I did request extra spicy and it wasn't but the food was tasty, I'll definitely be back, also the store was very clean.

This place has been a staple of our Chinese food fix, not because it's the greatest tasting but because it's in walking distance from my house and has awesome prices. The hot and sour soup....average. The General Tso's....average. Beef and Broccoli...average. But it's just enough to satisfy a Chinese fix on the days no other food will cut it. When I'm hungry for hot, consistently descent Chinese in the afternoon, I'm calling China House and ordering the L.32.

Small portions with very little sauce, ordered and took 35 mins for delivery. This store made me more aware why lucky garden is the best inexpensive chinese food around.
(2)Mack M.
Speedy delivery, amazing General Tso's. I like the sesame cold noodle a lot as well. Fast delicious greasy Chinese food - my favorite in Manayunk so far. I always order General Tso's everywhere I order from and this is hands down the best. Others in the area don't compare.

I ordered the shrimp and mixed vegetables off the "special diet menu" and it was delicious! Fresh steamed veggies and plenty of shrimp! Sauce is on the side which is a plus...wonton soup is not too salty and one of the better in the area. I was going to Beijing Garden for awhile and was hesitant to change but it was just as good if not better!

On the menus that China House drops around the Rox/Yunk area, they claim that their food is MSG-free. As someone who is sensitive to MSG and has ordered from here, I can attest that that would seem to be true: if you're worried about MSG, you should be ok with this place (or at least, I was). Otherwise, the food is only ok. The GT's Tofu was probably a B+/A- but the spring rolls and lo mein were more like B/B-. Not bad, not great, but safe for those worried about monosodium glutamate.

Are there better Chinese take out joints? Sure. But when I don't feel flush enough for Cin Cin in Chestnut Hill, this is my tried and true standby. Nice people and the food is really good 70% of the time. Pretty good another 25%. Then, once in a blue moon (5%) they boot a dish. But, I think it depends on who's cooking. Lately, the cooks have been in the "really good" category.

How disappointing this place was. I read the reviews and wasn't too excited about the food, but I wanted some chinese and this place is pretty local. Steamed Dumplings: Actually the best thing I ordered tonight, i'd say 3.5/5 stars for this. Wonton Soup: The wontons were super dough-y, the broth was okay. I actually threw halfof my PINT away - I nofmrally finish a whole pint if not more.. Chicken Lo Mein: Actually this was mediocre. Chicken was decent, an okay amount of veggies and the noodles were cooked all the way. However, it felt as though it was lacking some flavor or something. I will not be ordering from here again, however the staff did seem very nice. However, there's a bunch of chinese places around here so I am sure i can find a better one than just 2 stars.

I love China House!! Their General Tso's Chicken and Chicken and Broccoli are the best! Their portions are in smaller containers than most chinese restaurants. I would think that would make them lose business, but I guess people don't mind because everyone I know loves this place!
(4)Genghis K.
my roomie and i are hopelessly addicted to their garlic sauce. their general tso's is pretty damn good, too. they're friendly, prompt, and haven't messed up an order yet - with about 4 years worth of orders from me.

I'm not one to rip others but in my opinion, this local Chinese restaurant is in competition to be one of the city's worse. After living most of my adult life a few minutes from some of my favorite Asian restaurants such as, Sang Kee and Vietnam Restaurant located in Chinatown, I hardly expected a 3 or 4 star experience at China House. Unfortunately, for my few dollars, China House served fare rated much lower. Chicken Rice Soup and Hot and Sour Soup are very easy to make. I expect most cooks to do it well. At China House, the Chicken Rice Soup was watery, devoid of chicken or even chicken flavor and it smelled like rancid grease. (I actually saw the young lady top off my container with liquid from a nearby wok. What I thought was more broth may have been rancid grease or oil, I'm not really sure). My experience with the Hot and Sour Soup was worse. First, it is one of my favorite dishes when it is prepared well. Second, since it requires more ingredients and care in preparation, the cook or cooks had more time to screw this up. Neither soup smelled appealing. The Hot and Sour Soup had the same rancid smell as the Chicken and Rice Soup and outside of a few bean sprouts and perhaps a few tofu bits, this watery ill tasting broth had no substance. Why did I even taste it? I spit it out, poured both down the garbage disposal where they belong and vowed never to step foot inside China House again. If you're within walking distance and eager for a local "bowl of rice", try Tang Thai.
