China House used to be one of my go-to spots in Rome. Even through COVID, when a lot of places…read morestruggled, they stayed consistent and reliable, which says a lot. Lately though, something has changed. The food hasn't been as consistent, and I've noticed dishes trending more oily and a bit too sweet than they used to be. It's gotten to the point where I've stopped ordering, which is disappointing considering how often I used to go. That said, the staff is still amazing and the owner is super friendly, so the issue definitely isn't service or atmosphere. I'm really hoping they find their way back to what made them so good, because this place has been a local favorite for a long time.

We were seated quickly on a Monday afternoon. It was moderately busy. I got the pho tai and my…read morefriend got the pork chop pho. The broth was rich and flavorful. My bowl was HUGE. I was able to finish off my noodles and meat and then had a ton of that yummy broth left. The pho tai was bomb, but next time I gotta get the pork chop. I tried a bit of my friends and it was so crispy and flavorful! They have all the fixings at each table--sriracha, hoisin, seasoning, fish sauce, etc. which is super important so you can customize the spice and flavor to your liking. The service was good and they were quick. There is truly nothing like a perfectly seasoned, hot bowl of pho on a chilly day! They also serve boba, Vietnamese iced coffee, etc. Plenty of parking as well.

I explained I was waiting for my train later that night. They initially thought I was asking if I could wait inside the restaurant without ordering, but even then, they were more than happy to let me wait there. Second, the food is AMAZING! I ordered the bento box, which came with fries, seaweed salad, miso soup, your choice of sushi (I got avocado & salmon), and your choice of chicken, beef, or shrimp tempura (I got shrimp tempura). If I'm being 100% truthful, these were one of the crispiest fries I've ever eaten!The seaweed salad was so crunchy and yummy, the shrimp tempura was very flavorful especially with the sauce. The miso soup was the right amount of salty and the sushi, well, it was sushi; it was AWESOMEE. I genuinely don't have any complaints about this place. I will say it was a bit cold in there, but that's what jackets are for :). It was spacious and well decorated. I would definitely visit again, there are so many options to choose from!! (They have Thai food as well, along with drinks and desserts). Possibly on of my favorite Japanese restaurants that I've tried! Please do visit if you ever get the chance.

I was promptly seated, the staff and server were all super friendly. There were only a few other diners, so it was pretty peaceful. I ordered the chicken pad thai and it was exactly what I needed! She asked me how spicy I prefer, which was appreciated since I'm not the most tolerant of spicy food. I heard a ton of to-go orders come in over the phone while I was dining and saw some delicious sushi rolls come out for those orders, so made a mental note to come back and check out the sushi! Overall, great place for a solid lunch in Utica, especially if you're craving pad thai.
