The food was ok. The temperature was very hot which is important to me. The vegetables tasted fresh but the fried rice was not good. Over all we will not be rushing back to this place, as my wife would say.

Arnold's Park, Iowa…read more Clean inside. Steady business. Major problem communicating with wait staff. They don't speak English very well. Trouble communicating what food allergies I have. Beer is bottle only. Soda is from a fountain. Lots of food choices on the menu. We ordered the cashew chicken and had our choice of steamed rice or fried rice. We also had the combination Lo Mein. Food came out Very hot! Cashew chicken had bite-size pieces of chicken with chunks of carrots, celery, garlic, cashews, and onion. My flavor was good but very salty. The celery was cooked to perfection. It had the most wonderful crunch. The Lo Mein lacked flavor. It had very little meat and no veggies, other than a few sliced carrots. My husband disliked the Lo Mein so much that he said it was the worst he has ever had. Look at picture of bone/gristle that was in his food. I give this place 3.8 stars

Who'd have thought you'd find good sushi in Spencer IA? Not this guy... What a nice surprise…read more Open for dine-in. Staff was masked up. They were quick to greet us, seat us, and attentive throughout our stay. Four rolls and an order of crab rangoon (6). $40 and change before tip. The same in the Des Moines metro would be $60ish. A very nice find while on the road. Pro tip though... When they say spicy they mean spicy. No need to add extra wasabi because you assume it's going to be "Iowa hot."

The potstickers and the sauce were good but would have better if we had them fresh at the restaurant. Egg rolls were great! The portions for both the Pad Thai and Beef Broccoli are huge. The Beef broccoli was really good and the Pad Thai is usually much better... kind of tasteless like Lo Mein. We will be back and I hope posting the menu fir others helps

The only reason I gives this place 2 stars is for the food! Everything else is terrible! The hours…read moreare bad. They close at 8pm. Even on a Saturday. The wait for the food is long & they are extremely short staffed. More than likely from low pay. The atmosphere of the place is really bad. It's not what it used to be. Today we went to eat there at 6pm, and there was a note on the door stating it was closed. Our party of 5 ate somewhere else. They lost that money. I wouldn't waste my time coming here and I'd find a better place.

This place is a godsend in a flavor desert…read more My partner and I have visited China House twice and have been beyond impressed with every dish we've had. On our first visit, I tried the Hunan Triple Delight, which features a trifecta of beef, chicken, and shrimp with delightfully crunchy and flavorful vegetables in a spicy but savory brown sauce. My partner got the General Tso's Chicken which I was kinda jealous of on account of it being the best General Tso's I've ever tasted. The chicken was tender and delicately fried, but with enough crunch to hold up to the sauce which had just the right amount of heat and zest. Today on our visit we had the Szechuan Beef and Pineapple Chicken, both with fried rice. I cannot describe to you how delicious it is. The decor reminds me a lot of old Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants in my California hometown which is oddly comforting. It really is unbelievable how much impressive food exists within such an unassuming-looking restaurant! Bottom line is, China House Cafe presents their dishes without frills, and they don't need it. The flavor speaks volumes for itself! If you're in the area--or even if you're an hour away--this place is absolutely worth a visit. :)

My group also ordered crab Rangoon and eggrolls; eggrolls to die for, big chunks of veggies and pork, fried to create a crunch without being greasy!! Would absolutely go again! The staff was also welcoming and clear.
