Turn and burn business trip to my corporate offices resulted in dinner here with traveling partner co-workers. I love Americanized Chinese places, and these nice folks do a great job. I went off my grid with a sizzling beef entree, and liked it. The flavors were good, but the beef itself wasn't as tender as some other places I have been to. But that is certainly a first world problem lol. Dining partners all enjoyed their meals, and the ladies that took care of us were very sweet and accommodating. It was a great choice for dinner, and we all had a lovely time. read more

This is a great Lil Chinese place. The server and the cook who came out and refilled glasses (might be the owners) both were very nice and attentive. The server let me modify my order and get the kung pao with the combo meal so I could get soup with my order which was really nice! The food was great! I will definitely come back here again. While I was here there was a group of like 12 in the back for some meeting, so any group size can come here. read more

Great choice for dinner in the area. Friendly service. i've enjoyed the few family meals shared at China House.

Spent $80 to get soggy, no flavor orange chicken, the broccoli beef tasted like seafood for some reason? Very off putting, the chicken chow main also just had an odd taste to it. The worst hot & sour soup I think I've ever tried it didn't even taste like hot and sour soup. Everything just taste old and like it was left out for a long time. Truly a waste of money as the more I ate it the more disgusted I was and there's so many leftovers I don't even know what to do with.. I don't like Panda Express but honestly I would have been happier just going there! read more

First time ever I decided to go for Chinese food on New Year's Eve! And picked China House for that! My order was ready on time and 100 % accurate! Staff were friendly and helpful! The portions are good and the price affordable and the taste is about 95% good. May want to give them a try if perhaps you are craving for Chinese food. Great job China House staff! read more

Blech, tried the Phoenix combo. The generals sells chicken was sweet and simple and chewy in a non-pleasing way. The shrimp was far from fresh. will not come back here. read more

Best Mongolian beef I've had in years. Service was excellent. Terrific experience overall.

I gave these guys a bump and hope I don't regret it. I could tell something was different, because the two women who I think were sisters weren't here, and I've never been here without them. The food was fairly mediocre in the past, but there is so much bad Chinese food in the area that this place being average at best made it a reasonable choice. I asked if it was new ownership, and the guy said they took over about 6 months ago. There are some less than positive reviews from late summer, but I see why. Consistency here needs work and I assume they were still figuring things out. My lunch special was pretty good. The portion was large, the flavor was much improved as well as the recipe. The guy told me previous owners didn't marinate their meats, but they do. Marinaded meats mean more flavor and more tender bites. These days people appear to be afraid of flavor but for those of use that demand it in ethnic food, it's ruining meals. Here are a couple things owners can improve on. I ordered a dish that contained seafood and chicken, I advised no seafood because I'm allergic. On the first but, I could tell something was wrong and I found seafood in my plate. They apologized and made the entree again and I have a pen to inject myself, so I was fine, but at a minimum, that entrée should have been free and honestly for a true health issue the meal should have been comped, but the price was not adjusted, and another reviewer described a similar situation. I also tried the Mongolian Beef, a dish that is traditional spicy. The description advised that it was served with hot peppers, but my dish had no hot peppers, was a zero on the spice scale and had way too much sugar. I'm a bit tired of feeling like Chinese food is candy instead of spicy savory food. It appears this family has made a choice to not honor traditional regional Chinese recipes. This small business has an opportunity to attract a crowd. People would come from all over the region for spicy, regional food, but so far everything I've tasted has been light on spice and heavy on sugar. I'll give them another try, but if the experience doesn't improve, I am going to lower my rating. read more

I have ordered from China House through DoorDash and GrubHub a few times and have had no issues with them. Their portions for lunch specials for takeout is a great portion with choice of soup, rice (fried rice for an extra dollar) and entrée of your choice. I only ask that you be wary when you order something that has a lot of sauce as it can get a bit messy. As for dining in, I invited some girl friends out for girls' day for lunch here as I had positive experiences from take out so I figured I would see how going there and dining in would be like. Our server was extremely friendly and patient with us, also allowed our party to be seated even though a few of our members came in late due to traffic. He got us hot tea which was perfect for that rainy, cold day. Although our party arrived a little bit past their lunch time, our server was more than happy to let us order from the lunch menu as we had arrived before it ended so he would honor that for us which was extremely kind and sweet of him. We ordered sweet and sour shrimp, Mongolian Beef and Sichuan Pork. Each of us enjoyed our meals and soup as we were really hungry and half of us had leftovers to take for lunch tomorrow. Their chili oil is really good too, if you like a more spicy kick with your meal. The inside is very relaxing and not overly cluttered like in other Chinese restaurants. The space is pretty large with tables and chairs/booths that can fit any party size, small or large. Service was excellent and the food was satisfying. Overall, a great Chinese option in Auburn! read more

It's always fun to visit a new eatery. The place is open and clean enough. And decoration Was basic Chinese..though I loved their place mats under glass. We ordered kung pao chicken and because they were homemade, we also ordered pot stickers. The chicken came first... and it was good. Spicy. And had been made with frozen peas and carrots, and celery cut in the angle. The peanuts were raw peanuts.. and the flavor had a Smokey flavor like Smokey oil was used. It was good, just not your usual king pao. The pot stickers were huge.... Good filling, but the dough was thick and of completely cooked and extremely greasy. But good tasting. Two sauce jars were placed on the table---- they were fingered and not just a few fingers. All in all food was good. A little unconventional-and sometimes hat can be good. 3-4 stars from us. read more

Lots of options to choose from! Everything we got was great! Came out super fast, great service. We will be back! Spacious seating areas too! read more

TLDR/ Price: Okay, Food: Decent, Service: Okay, Ambiance: 90's throwback, Verdict: Eh...okay. The whole experience at China House was marginal. We had to wait to be seated, which was mostly the fault of a Karen who was ordering to go. However, when the hostess/waitress finally sat us at a booth, it was across from the booth they were using to maybe do their taxes or something? It just felt very haphazard and unprofessional. The decor was dated, I mean out of last century and not in a "fun-kitschy way", but in a "dingy-cluttered" way. The menu was filled with things but the combo dinners were not great pairings and they up-charged for fried rice without making it clear. Everything came out lukewarm except for the soup and tea. It's like they had it all sitting in back for a good few minutes after dishing it up before bringing it out, no bueno. We got a combo, and ended up buying two more entrees because we were unsure of the amount of food we would get. The combo was a good option, I just wish there were more combo options that didn't include shrimp, as I have an allergy. The server was not particularly attentive, but she did finally refill our waters and tea after we pointedly placed the empty pot, lid open at the edge of the table. The food was also under seasoned, from the cloyingly sweet "hot and sour" soup to the pork fried rice we were charged extra for, the whole meal lacked salt. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't that good. Everything seemed to be made in house, but just because it was made from scratch does not make it good. I debated leaving the leftovers, but after paying over 100 dollars for our meal, I just couldn't bring myself to. Maybe it will be better, reheated in the air fryer and properly salted, but my hopes aren't high. If you are looking for Chinese food in Auburn, this might be the best option, but then again, there isn't many places to choose from. Do yourself a favor, drive a few extra miles and get something better or go here, but don't expect too much. read more

Love this place so much! The food quality is great and they always have fast service. Every staff member is always happy and kind. The portions are large and prices are fair. I like the restaurant booths as they are comfortable and the tables are nice and clean. Every time I am there, I see something new on the menu I want to try the next time! They also have combo dinners and unique combo entrees too! So yummy! Can't wait to go back and I was just there yesterday for my 2nd time. read more

We had a lovely dinner here tonight. The three of us orders gyoza (loved it), sizzling rice soup (my mom was super excited to have this), pot stickers (they take awhile, and the gyoza was preferred), general tsos (delicious) and pork fried rice. It was a lot of food! We could have fed 2 more people with the food we had. I wouldn't come here if I were in a hurry, but the waitstaff was super friendly. Will definitely return. read more

I've been coming here for the last 15 years. This place is truly a gem in Auburn. Located right next to the McDonald's in the strip mall. The outside doesn't look like much but don't judge a book by its cover. When you walk in it's like a trip to the 90s with decor. Is quite the vibe and I'm here for it. The food is amazing. All of it is cooked to order. They have the BEST Hot & Sour Soup. The gold standard of Hot and Sour soup. The creme de la creme of Hot & Sour soup. You won't be disappointed. Other family favorites ls include: BBQ Pork Fried Rice Kung pao Chicken Mongolian Beef Broccoli Beef Mo Shu Vegetables General Tso's Chicken Service is friendly and great. Food is made to order and prepared pretty quickly. They have ample seating inside Including large circle tables for bigger groups. Look for the lunch or dinner combination plates. They are a great way to try different options at an affordable price. Highly recommended stop right off of Highway 18. Don't forget to try the Hot & Sour Soup!! read more

I am going to say no. Ordered the General Tso chicken lunch. The sauce was one step from simple syrup...with a little vinegar. It was more like an egg roll dip. Just not appetizing...it could have also been the burnt fried rice. Overall not a win for me. But a huge win for indigestion. The only reason this got 3 stars is the dumplings which were a 5 and the service. The rest of the meal...thank God for indoor toilets. read more

Don't spend your time or money here. It was obvious we didn't eat nor like our food, apologies but FULL CHARGE AWFUL FOOD AWFUL SERVICE read more

Food was okay. The chow mein I wished it had a little more flavor. Mongolian beef was pretty good. General Tso chicken was crispy. The egg flower soup was not the best. The egg in the soup didn't feel how an egg drop in that soup should taste and feel. The service was not the best. The restaurant was pretty empty, but nobody really checked in if we needed anything or more water. read more

Did they change ownership? The service is still good. The food is not awesome like before but is about average. The food did come out very quickly. read more

This is our go-to place for Chinese, not just because it's local, but because this is the best Chinese food we've found in WA state in the 8 years we've been living here. The staff treats us like royalty. They are always so kind and know us so well by now that we practically don't have to order anymore. We come in, they seat us and right away they spout off our order to us. Sometimes we change it up, but very rarely. The customer service is top notch. I love everybody here! If you come here, you have to try the potstickers and make sure they put in the order right away because they take a while to make. They are the best potstickers we've ever had- that includes potstickers in CA. They are made in-house and are so fresh and plump and delicious...we sometimes order two orders. My daughter who is the pickiest eater in the world, can't get enough of them. Their dinner specials are also fantastic. We get the #2 with fried rice (an extra charge, be aware), sweet and sour soup (with real chunks of meat in it- FANTASTIC) BBQ pork, chicken chow mein and general tso. BIG portions. My husband and I share a plate. Mainly because I've had bariatric surgery...but still. sometimes we have leftovers after the fact. Don't overlook this place. The decor may be outdated but the food is great. read more

- I ordered the Mandarin Dinner for two, for pick-up. - The egg rolls come with a dipping sauce if ordered separately, but not with the combo dinner. - The Almond Chicken stir fry was excellent, lots of vegetables, noodles, and complex flavors. - The sweet'n'Sour Pork had very little sauce on the breaded pork, one piece of pineapple, and no white onions, or bell pepper. It was tasty but a very simple flavor pairing. - The Hot'n'Sour Soup was a real disappointment! The rich taste of mushrooms was missing, and the broth lacked the unique flavors of wood ear, lily buds, and pepper. The soup was too runny, needed more corn starch. - But the dinner came with way more rice than you'd ever need. There was plenty of food for two people; the Almond Chicken stood out. Price was okay. Quality was okay. 3-stars is okay. Yes, I'm a chef, and yes, I cook Asian. We're in tough times; I respect any restaurant trying to make it work during the pandemic. read more

The Chinese restaurant we have been going to for over thirty years finally closed their doors this past fall, and we were crestfallen; how could we possibly find another that was just as good?!? My first requirement is always that the Hot & Sour soup be delicious; it's hard to find a place that meets that standard sometimes. Reading a post on social media recently, I saw China House come up multiple times as having the best hot & sour soup in the Seattle area. Naturally, my curiosity was piqued! The first chance we got, we made a trip down to Auburn to check them out. Not only was the soup fantastic - exploding with flavor - but everything else was delicious as well! We opted for the Szechwan Dinner combo. The Kung Pao chicken was well seasoned, and the Szechwan Crisp beef was unbelievable! The staff is very friendly, and has some great recommendations to make. We found they were eager to ensure that we had all we needed for a great dining experience. Very glad we have discovered this place; I think we've found our new favorite location for the next thirty years to come. Parking is very handy, and this restaurant is very accessible off Auburn Way South. read more

I love coming here with my oldest daughter and granddaughter! The lady who works here is always friendly and helpful. She takes care of our order quickly and before we can settle in we are brought our soup and water, then before we finish our soup the food is brought out. I have been getting the sweet and sour chicken, this time (12/26) visit there were a few pieces of chicken I could not cut with my fork and I could not eat, too fried and too hard. But I upgrade to the fried rice and it is always tasty. The soup this time was not too tasty and the tea was not ready upon us arriving this time and it was not till we were almost done that she brought us tea (that was mainly wasted due to so late in the meal). There was a party of 4 guys who came in and I had to wait several minutes like 8 min before she would check me out with my check. read more

Yes food was amazing and great customer service highly recommended for great food!!!!

Our food came and it leaked inside the bag. The Snow White Chicken had no sauce and barely any vegetables. What vegetables it had were mushy. There was no rice included which doesn't make note of anywhere. We spent over 100$ on food that was barely edible and a little worse than Panda Express. The seafood dish Three Ingredients was appalling and had no sauce or seasoning. Will never eat there again. read more

Dearest L, Thank you for getting back to me! I agree when I came in your establishment you treated me very well. In my experience I know discrimination, the problem is others don't see it in themselves what they do, they become accustomed to the behavior! Pay more attention when black and brown people come to your establishment at the same time, pay attention to your service to both parties! If you look around your establishment you will be aware as full as it was that day, the majority of your customers were white. (Could it be because blacks are treated secondary)? Not to say you don't have black and brown people come in. It has been a number of years since I visited your restaurant, I enjoyed it so much back then, that I decided to visit again while in the area. If I was treated the same way as your other customers I would not be here making this complaint! When my dish was ready, you delivered two plates to them first with my plate in your hand as well, you still placed my plate down LAST! Let's be honest I was treated second class compared to a tables seated after me...maybe BECAUSE their meals cost more??!!!? Bigger tip?!? Remember never underestimate your customers, you never know who you're serving! God bless you as well! read more

Food was meh. Mongolian beef was very sweet (odd). The service was meh - restaurant only had one table and the server was inpatient and unattractive.

Prices are average - save your money and eat somewhere else. read more

I actually did not even want to give one star. We had been craving Chinese food for quite some time and since our favorite place Red lotus has been closed we decided to try this place. Never again!! The barbecue pork was good. The appetizer of shrimp was disgusting and when you picked it up Grease squeezed out of the shrimp. The hot and sour soup tasted sweet and was disgusting. The cabbage egg rolls were completely foul. Could not get the taste out of our mouths for the rest of the day and to be quite honest made me nauseous. Disgusting sums it up! read more

Under new management! As of August 2023 they've sold the business and the restaurant is under new management. They've made a few minor visual improvements but be aware this is not the same china house. The menus are the same however they do taste different. Not bad, but not the same. When you come here you have to change your mentality. This is a new restaurant called China house. read more

I love Chinese food and we decided to try this place out on my birthday. The front end of house customer service was okay . They were pretty busy when we walked in so it took a minute to be noticed fir seating. The front staff are very nice and friendly. Now let's get to the food ... which I was highly disappointed with. I was expecting some good Chinese food for my birthday and this place was a let down. We ate the food but I left telling myself "never again" . I am going to go ahead and blame the chef or the owner not the very nice staff in the front. They made the experience atleast pleasant. I'm not sure if it's the chef or the owner who creates the dishes and recipes but the FLAVOR of the food is SO bland and SIMPLE! Not flavorful at all! Does not taste like authentic Chinese food . I will go ahead and compare it to Safeway deli Chinese takeout . If your into bland food with not much flavor you might enjoy it but this place needs major help in the authenticity and flavor department. Hire a REAL Chinese CHEF! Also please get a update or remodel to your restaraunt. The aesthetic of this place is SO outdated! Also let me add one more thing - it was my birthday and you were "out" of the cocktail drink I wanted. If your going to have things on your menu ...don't be "out" of them and ask for me to request another drink. read more
