I'm really mad that I didn't know about this place sooner! I ordered the garlic beef on a whim and was not disappointed, even after having to wait well over an hour for delivery....100% will order again, one of my absolute favorite places in town! read more

The food is consistent. I'm not a fan of the crab rangoon-they're too greasy- but the egg rolls are good. I like their fried rice and lo mein too. read more

First time eating here. Just passing through town of business. I got wonton soup and general tso combination. It was solid. Definitely a decent and reliable Chinese place. The staff was courteous and my food was cooked promptly. I will eat here again. read more

Let's keep this review short: this is the best takeout Chinese food in Lawrence. Sure, it's not Chinatown in NYC/Phila/SF good. I doubt that's possible anywhere nearby. But for the price, you get a metric truckload of food, and it's good quality. I've eaten a lot of the chow mei fun, and it's always terribly tasty. The crab rangoon are by far the best in Lawrence (I believe they use real crab, and the cream cheese is just a bit sweet, which allows for a unique and tasty flavor). I'd probably go here more if it weren't on the other side of town. If you're nearby, give it a go. read more

Ordered take-out at China House for the first time, based on the recommendations of friends. The woman working the counter was rude and took our order while she was on the phone. We left with our order only to find out they didn't include the crab rangoon - however it was marked on our order sheet. We drove back to retrieve our missing crab rangoon and they accused us of circling the item on the order sheet and made us pay for the crab rangoon AGAIN. We won't be returning to China House. Thai Siam has better food and service. read more

Read the reviews and stopped by this place. Reviews were not wrong. The food is very good. I enjoyed it, and I'm picky about Chinese take out. read more

I love this place! Okay, so that might be partially based on the fact that it was practically across the street from my apartment, and the fact that I'm obsessed with the containers they serve their food in...they make great tupperware! Anyway, I truly did enjoy their food and can't think of a better place in Lawrence to go when the chinese food craving hit. It's delicious and usually pretty fast. They give great portions and their egg rolls and crab rangoon are delicious (a must!) read more

This was the greasiest Chinese food I have ever had. It bordered on being inedible. Gross. Had the Moo Goo Gai Pan.

Best Chinese food in Lawrence. The price for the quality cannot be beat. I've had the General chicken, sesame chicken, lo mein and rangoons and they have all exceeded my expectations. read more

3.5 stars. We stopped in for a lunch special. I had the broccoli with chicken and my husband had the cashew chicken. The food was good, and there was plenty for more than one meal. The tables are smaller so it's not suitable for a big group of diners. read more

Quick taste of home comfort. I have only ordered the genera tsao chicken(yum!). I'll try something new next time!

The best chinese food in Lawrence!! It really doesn't look like much, but the staff is friendly and good food! The lunch special prices are very competitive and easily enough food for two meals. No buffet here, but the menu is quite extensive! Dine-in is an option, although seating is limited.They really do not waste time getting your order made, and it's always prepared fresh and accurate! Do not skip on ordering the crab rangoon here. read more

Authentic Chinese cuisine for an unbeatable price. It doesn't get much better than this.

I've reviewed this place prior but the consistency in good taste and quality is still on par. I've had eat in and delivery and food is always hot, staff is friendly enough and the food tastes great. I don't eat Chinese anywhere else... read more

Stellar. I love China House. The fortune cookies also make me feel better. It's a nice touch to the end of my day. The General's chicken rocks my world. Sauce packets are good. read more

Good Chinese food here. Fresh and quick service. Polite staff and fairly quiet atmosphere.

Their Crab Rangoon and General tso chicken are the best! I always get the same thing and it never disappoints! Cheap and always fresh, made to order. I always go there when craving Chinese food! Never had to wait more than 15 minutes for my food. Always ready when I get there. read more

The 2 negative reviews are really subjective, I think the food here is great service is great best place in town for Chinese food imo 5 stars hands down! read more

China House's Customer service and delicious food keep me coming back. A weekly ritual. Only downside is they don't deliver

This place and the owners are wonderful. I order same thing like 80% of the time and it never fails. Kung Pao Chicken with Steamed Rice - oh and crab Rangoon. Tasty! It does not look fancy, it is small and small family crew. But you will not find better Chinese food. When they closed for the restrictions people were so excited to see them start curb side! 5 stars. read more

maybe i eat way too much bad chinese food, but this place really surprised me a good way. this is a small, narrow chinese diner in a west lawrence strip mall with food that seems very fresh and well-prepared. i ordered a lunch special (they run 'til 3:00 PM) that costs $4.95. one gets choice of soup, egg roll, or crab rangoon along with an entree and rice. i ordered, took a seat and waited. i sat near the kitchen and heard as two youngish chinese dudes hit the woks. it probably took 10 minutes before my to-go order came out and the counter person handed me a large plastic dish inside a paper bag inside a plastic bag. oookay. i grabbed some soy sauce, a fork and hit the road. inside the final container of the package i discovered a present. what i found inside with a steaming hot serving of general tsao chicken laid on a few stems of cooked broccoli. no soy sauce needed. the sauce was rich, but wasn't overly sweet. the chicken was well-cooked with a crunchy exterior. the egg roll had a very nicely cooked exterior and tons of fresh, cooked cabbage inside. everything was piping hot. i indulged too much and my stomach isn't happy now, but the stuff was too good and too fresh. again, i'm a sucker for bad chinese like you'll find at a food court and pwns that shit. i shall return. read more

I was skeptical about finding a good Chinese restaurant to eat at in a college town. China house did not disappoint! Their crab Rangoon was amazing, orange chicken and sweet/sour chicken was on point! I wasn't real happy with their steamed dumplings, but the awesome egg drop soup made up for it. The cost of eating there did not break the bank either. Service was fast and friendly and the woman on the phone was easy to understand when she read back my order! Over all I was happy with my Chinese dinner! read more

Combination Plates are great. I had Orange chicken and Sesame chicken combination plates. This includes crab rangoon or egg rolls and pork fried rice. Too much celery in egg rolls so if you don't like celeries just choose crab rangoons. Chicken menus were really great as well!! read more

Best Chinese available in Lawrence and the surrounding areas! Beware the paper plates if your eating in.... but damn this food is off the hook!! read more

A mixed review. The place is a shabby hole in the wall with questionable cleanliness. I ordered Kung Pao Beef with black bean sauce, my wife ordered sweet and sour pork. I looked askance at the slimy, cheap beef and was not sure I could eat it. The first few bites were almost bad. After getting down to the sauce it tasted pretty good. My wife's dish took a lot longer to prepare and was okay, not great. I think if I go back I will order vegetarian. The meat is a little hard to stomach. read more

Great Chinese and the lunch combo prices are inexpensive. This has become my go to Chinese takeout.

This is the best take-out Chinese place in town with no apologies. I would not plan on dinning in but if you have somewhere to go take this with you. I haven't tried all of the places in town but this is the best so far. It as me coming back for more. read more

Most people in Lawrence doesn't know about this hidden gem. Way better than Tryyaki in my opinion and I'm sure many will agree. Their lunch specials are awesome. I've been living in Lawrence for 4 years now and so far, this place is the best for reasonably priced takeout Chinese food. read more

I like this place so much. Wonderful lunch menu , fast service, nice portions nice prices. Love the shrimp and vegetable in black bean sauce, big tender shrimp cooked perfectly in that spicy sauce but my favorite may be the pork and green peppers. That's just yummy. The only item I haven't been crazy about is the house special soup; the bland broth doesn't do the veggies and meats justice. This tiny little place gets a big heck yeah from me. read more

Best Chinese food in KS!! Cooked to order. I wish they delivered though but worth the drive

10 years ago was the first time I went to China House. I suppose I should write a review from my extensive studies. From 2006 on, if you ask where to go for Chinese in Lawrence, it's China house. Or China as we call it. The food is always hot. Always what you ordered since they check it before you leave. On the busy days Peng answers the phones/takes orders. Lunch and dinner combos are the best deal. Entree, rice and choice of Rangoon or egg roll. If you are looking for a fancy place for a special occasion this is not the place. However; if you are looking for consistent hot food made to order almost always in 10 min. This is where you need to go. Eating there is doable if you want, but take out is the way to go. They make the food extra hot most of the time so even on my 20 min drive home it is still scalding when I open it up. I could go on all night. I've literally gone here at least once a week, sometimes twice or more for the last 10 years. And the ONLY bad thing I can think of, in 10 years of consistently eating at China is about 3 years ago they started using smaller squares to make their crab Rangoon which are still the best in town! Come on people. If you want to bash this place due to a bad experience you had once or maybe even twice I respect your opinion but please save it for another restaurant that actually deserves a bad review. China house addicted for the last 10 years, let's see how many more good things I have to say after the next 10!!! read more

Without a doubt, the best fast food Chinese in Lawrence. Huge selection of dishes. Well-prepared food with quality ingredients and if you get to-go/carry-out (unfortunately, no delivery), even the containers are high-quality. I have also found them to be amenable to modifications to dishes (I can't stand celery in some things and they didn't have any problem leaving it out). My particular favorites are the Hunan Chicken with Black Bean Sauce, the Sa Cha Chicken, and the Hot and Spicy Chicken (without the celery). The various egg foo youngs are also one of my frequent purchases. I have yet to be disappointed with any of the meals I've had from China House. Also, they have "homemade" spicy mustard by request and that stuff'll definitely clear out your sinuses. read more

Ate at this place for the first time last week with my brother. It was okay, but definitely not anything special. I ordered take- out and sat to wait for my meal...it took a while (15-20 minutes) for only 2 meals. When I ordered I made a special point to tell them it was "to go" and they tried to bring the TWO meals out on a tray to me...the ONE person sitting by the door. I then had to tell them again that I wanted it to go and they had to repackage it. Kinda frustrating when you only have a certain amount of time for your lunch break. I wasted well over half of it just sitting in the restaurant. The place was kinda dirty & ugly...I most likely will not be returning here to eat a sit-down meal. However, like one reviewer mentioned...I liked the containers they used. Food was sub-par, prices are very reasonable. Only a little over $11 for 2 people. read more

As far as cheap, unhealthy and filling go...this is the king of Chinese places in Lawrence. It's always pretty quick, the service is as nice as you can except in this type of place, the prices are REALLY cheap, and the food is fairly tasty (this coming from someone who frequents China and likes REAL Chinese food...the thing is, I know I won't get REAL in Lawrence, so I adjust my expectations accordingly). If you haven't stopped on by...stop on by. read more

Amazing. It doesnt look like much but it's so good. They make everything fresh as you order it so it's not sitting in a warmer all day. I love their crab Rangoon and even the broccoli with the rice is perfect. read more

These folks just have their "S" together..all i can say. Food is fresh and made like 5 ft from counter you order from. Ever order is consistent, fast, vastly superior to any Asian cuisine in the Lawrence, KS. They are the hidden gem of town...more people should know about this place. read more

Only Chinese I will eat in Lawrence. Sweet and sour chicken and pork fried rice is best.

China house is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Lawrence. Everything I've had there is delicious. Highly recommend the crab rangoons.

Tried China House this week as I just moved down the street. The prices were extremely reasonable and the amount of food you get was impressive. We tried the General Tsao's chicken, which was delicious and the chicken was plump and moist, and the plain fried rice, which was good but didn't have much flavor and only had onions in it, and the crab Rangoon's, which were wonderful as the shell was light and not too hard and crumbly and the filling was very flavorful. Will be back to try more read more

Been eating here since it opened about 10 yrs ago - food and staff are consistently superb. Try the house mei fun.
