Have now eaten here with friends 5 times and have been very pleased each time. It is small and not fancy but the food is delicious! The menu is very large and yet every dish I've tried has been excellent. The sushi is innovative and very fresh. Loved the "butterfly" with tuna, avocado, shrimp, crab topped with thinly sliced mango! The orange chicken was perfectly cooked with a light, beautifuly flavored orange sauce. No heavy breaking on the chicken, just lightly crispy. Perfect! The Beijing duck is also delicious. If you love asian food there is something here for everyone and will keep coming back.

We've had a rash of issues with Chinese restaurants lately, poorly cooked food, meat that was all gristle, fried rice that was more like fries mush, things in the food that was NOT supposed to be there (don't ask). So, on a pursuit of a restaurant where we would be happy, we tried the China House. I know it's been here for a long time and that should mean that it's good food, but our formally go to place was there for over a decade and then just took a dive, so we entered with hopes, but not expecting the world. What we got was HUGE portions, and my huge I mean, stuff yourself at the restaurant and still have another dinner later. Hubby thought the hot and sour soup was one of the best he's ever had. Since he makes his own at home from scratch, that's saying something. The fried rice was crisp. The plate of veggie low mein was loaded with crisp pea pods, and yes, huge. I got a beef and broccoli plate withe fried rice and took more than half home. the broccoli was crips and green. Beef was tender, no gristle. Lots of yummy sauce on it. Hubby had crispy orange chicken which had just a touch of spicy too it, but not too hot, and very crisp. He said it was the best he's ever had. Hubby was on a roll here! What really got us excited is what came with our check. Yes, everyone hangs out the fortune cookies usually thrown on the table with the check. Not here! They came on a plate with a small bowl of pineapple chunks! What a great palate cleanser after a meal! But wait, what really clinched the deal were the HOT DAMP WASH CLOTHS WITH A SLIGHT LAVENDER SMELL TO WASH YOUR HANDS! I've NEVER had that at any chines restaurant I ever ate at before! Heck, you dont' even get that at most 5 star places! This is a very small courtesy other part, and enough to make someone come back again. I hope other places are listening! Prices were very good. Not the cheapest I've seen int he area, and not the most expensive, but the portions are huge, so well worth it to know you'll have seconds (and maybe thirds).
3. Tang Chinese Restaurant
Reviewed By Embrace_Life_Now
Tang Chinese restaurant is housed in what looks like and old fast food joint. So your first impression is a disappointing one. Inside, the drab decor and lack of seating adds to the disappointment. It's a small operation that offers take out or dine-in. I found everything about it to be very mediocre and not worthy of a recommendation.
