Food was amazing! They made the order quickly. We both had chicken and brocalli with white rice and added cashews. Very tasty, reasonably priced. They used more brown sauce than I'm used to getting so that was a big plus! Cashews and brocalli tasted fresh with light crunch factor. Only lacked a bit of atmosphere but it's mainly for pick up anyway although they do have seating. Plenty of open parked when we went around 7pm. Will definitely go back again for another dinner and hike in the area!

Have you ever been to a place and your order is delicious?? This place is one of those. I definitely appreciate the food ALWAYS being hot & fresh! It's not just sitting back there under lights precooked so long ago that the food itself has gotten bored. Unfortunately, I've experienced quite a few places like that and not so long ago. However, at China House, the food is made to order, AND I've never been disappointed. The General Tso's Chicken, beef & broccoli, fried wings, or shrimp are definitely must-haves, in my opinion. Don't be afraid to mix things up a time or two by trying different sauces (Gen Tso, YumYum, or Soy) on the fried delicacies. I believe that in the process, you'll find that China House has a deliciously extensive menu to accommodate your buds. Make sure to try the Singapore Noodles, WonTon Soup, Crab Rangoons, Egg Rolls, or a Lunch Special if you prefer smaller portions. It's definitely one of my favorite spots.

Let me say this!!! The people in this restaurant are simply amazing. I order delivery all the time and when I say my food is hot off the grill and excellent delivery service, I go out my way to tip them with love all the time. I love this place. The crab ragoons are the best and the fried chicken and general tsos is on point. Don't forget your homemade ice tea that reminds you of the south!!! Great for our community and excellent portion size. Always respectful and nothing but love from this restaurant. I will always rock with them.

Easily one of the best hidden gems in Columbus. Pulling into the parking lot you'll prob think "man this looks like every other Chinese place in town" BUT their food is sooooo good and always fresh. Never been disappointed with anything I've had from China House. Reminds me of what good chinese food used to be when I was younger. Highly recommend China house to anyone
