The food was pretty good. Cashier was crying while taking my order, and half of the time we were there. So uncomfortable.
Definitely an authentic Asian cuisine restaurant that is best described as a hidden gem. Placed on a busy street, it is often overlooked by more popular franchises. Expect a well-worthy wait for fresh, piping hot food. Call in an order if time is of the essence. Takeout is generally a one-meal deal, but small appetites are sure to have leftovers. Good place to take a chance on unique catering. Wide array of choices, with diet accommodations such as vegetarian, vegan, & gluten free. All of their food is MSG free. They do try their hardest to understand English & all of them are very familiarized with their menu. Approachable if a problem arises. Lobby is always clean. Bonus: They deliver with Doordash.
Fast, friendly service. It was nice NOT to be hung up on when calling for Chinese take out. :) I was asked for my number and told my wait time and good bye. Other Chinese take I have used are short on the phone and disconnect without a goodbye or thank you. I appreciated the way they handled the call and that they were also friendly when I showed up to get my order. The meal was delicious.
The food was good, usually wouldnt have to wait as long as I had. Dont know what the hell went down. The place is clean and quiet, but they need to hire some more people to work the counter , perhaps even more to work in the kitchen. Other than that, Ive never really had any issues with the establishment.. Been coming off and on for years .
The food is pretty good here but when you get there to get your food, they always have just one person up front answering the phone, bagging, and cashing people out. You have to wait forever for them to get your order while it sits on the counter getting cold. Even more so now with their Covid set up.
Okay so they are not the fastest... But the food was beyond amazing. It was all fresh and seasoned beautifully. My picky eating kids & myself ate so much, we ate until we didnt think we could eat anymore & then we did because we didnt want to waste the food.Were out of towners passing through, I hope we come this way again soon.
Some of the best Chinese food in the area and they have fast , friendly service . Prices are reasonable and you can order from them through Uber eats if you want it delivered.
Never again. Food was tacky
Ive been eating here for over 25 years. They have the BEST fried rice and chicken wings. Also love their crab rangoon. Large portions, freshly made when you order.
My food (sweet and sour chicken, shrimp and pork) was fried so long that some of it was rock hard and no resemblance of meat remained. I tried calling several times and they would not answer. Really a disappointment!
To me their food is not that fresh.. rice is always hard and they have had many issues with the health department. If you are craving Chinese food I would recommend first wok over china house any day
Waited 45 minutes for rice that wasnt that good. Wasted my money. These people hate giving refunds. This is America where we refund
This place is gross!!! my smelled like some kind of cleaner and tasted like it also...go to first wok for great chinese food!
It take 30 plus minutes to get my order cashier very rude no care for what I have to said she looks like shes sick
The wontons had literally no meat in them and the food was flavorless. It seemed almost like the cooks were afraid to season their food so they took the safe route.
Disgusting! I took one bite and was scared to even do that we ordered orange chicken and Kung pao they both tasted the same and were covered in some blood red sauce! All I could taste was pepper I asked for a refund after only taking 1 bite and the manager laughed at me after 10 mins of arguing I finally got it back and the 15 minutes we were there about 4 people called and.complained and 2 people were given old food that had been sitting on the counter! I WOULD NOT FEED MY FOOD TO MY DOG! And very expensive 21 dollars for 2 people!!
First time eating here, it was pretty good the fried rice was kinda dry but I would probably go again.
Love the food. Im not sure why Ariel Futrell, the reviewer below me, hates it so much. The service is pretty good, but the only thing I dont really like about it is that when I sit inside to eat, theres this weird atmosphere. I see many people go inside, but its possibly because everyone always get take-outs.
I know everybody love Chinese food but this is one of the best Chinese places in Decatur I always order my food here when I get there its always ready
No delivery???? Website says no dine in, delivery only, lady say no delivery. Im losing any compassion for the local businesses. You make it too difficult to do business with
Great Food and quick service..... The Panhandlers need to go however.
Ordered pepper steak and rice, was full of onion and green peppers! Had absolutely no meat in it whatsoever, will not be going back!
Good hot food past a little skimpy on the meat though otherwise its a great price and fast service...
Best chow me fun in Decatur! We usually do first wok but weve gone here a few times and loved it too.
There quality has went way down there fried rice is now mostly rice not much meat or veggies will start going elswhere
Horrible experience I tried calling in a order and the lady yelled at me to take her off speaker phone then acted like she couldnt hear because they were close to closing time why when pick up the phone that was the most horrible experience in customer service Ive ever had and I will never go back there
I ordered Vegetable Egg Foo Young. The vegie part was scarce. Mainly broccoli. No water chestnuts, baby corn, mushrooms, or carrots.
Great service. Excellent and delicious meal😋
Good food very convenient. You should call your order in
Got some Chinese food on my moms birthday we absolutely loved it..
No wonder this place was dead...the food is awful. Very greasy tasting. The sesame chicken is red and sweet...not at all as it should be. Very disappointed. First Wok is 1000 times better.
Decent food, a little bit of a wait to get food because its cooked as soon as you order, but overall its good.
Been a customer for more than 25 years, food still good.
Decent food, quick service
The wait was a bit much, and I had an issue with receiving my order. Other than that the food is fine and so is the price.
When to China House last night ordered shrimp egg foo young it was burnt when I called back to complain the owner told Me to call the Police you people are always trying to get Free Food I still had the uneaten pattie it was Burnt the onions was black , why is it that business in Black nieghborhoods refuse to Respect Us !!!!!
The food was so gross it was inedible the fried rice was so black it looked and tasted like it was burnt no fried the crab Rangoon was so hard it chipped a tooth and all of the pepper steak sauce was all over the bottom of the bag because they put everything on top of it
Delicious, got 3 meals out of a large!
Yuck. Everything tasted awful. Fried rice, noodles , steak and broccoli and fried chicken. Even the lemonade! Will never return to this place.
A small order of General Tsos chicken and rice feeds two people. Their food is very good.
I liked it. It was pretty good. A lot of onions though. But other than that it was good.

2022-02-12Meat in the pork fried rice too hard and tough and didnt taste like pork meat was black not brown . I dont know what kind of meat it was but it wasnt pork fried rice I will not go there again I think theyre cooking up some form of animal I dont know what time but it wasnt pork and it definitely wasnt chicken

2021-12-19Noticed all of the cars and decided to try it out….Why charge steep prices and skimp on the meat???Both pork fried rice and chicken lo mien had to be picked through tofind meat slivers…not chunks or pieces….slivers.They even skimped on the sugar for their doughnuts….thought it would be likeyou find on all of the China buffets in every state. NopeWho cheats on making a doughnut??? SMH

2022-03-18Food not hot at all. Ordered shrimp lo mein and told them to add chicken, I got chicken lo mein with 3 medium sized shrimp they called jumbo shrimp, when I was supposed to get 5. How can you call it shrimp lo mein when it has more chicken than shrimp? Poor customer service relations, big language barriers, and business practices. After I placed my order I asked her to repeat it so they wouldnt mess it up and Im mad as hell, I didnt order chicken lo mein, I ordered shrimp lo mein and I want what I paid for and it most definitely wasnt a 3 piece shrimp lo mein platter.

2021-12-08As far as recipes, tasted somewhat bland and over-seasoned, sometimes, in my opinion. I would suggest revisiting Chinese culinary recipes and practices to in improve quality. Quantity was standard.
