December 13, 2025 - Approx. 6:25 PM…read more On the way back to Stockton from Jackson, was in the mood for Chinese food and Google Maps suggested this restaurant. SUMMARY: Good deal for take/out food in this era of high inflation. PROS: Was impressed with how fresh the vegetables were in my Beef w/Broccoli order. Plus a nice balance of flavors. Also, was surprised with the Yen Ching Fried Rice, as it was both filling & flavorful. Finally, the served portions equaled, if not exceeded, the charged prices. CONS: While I was waiting in the dining room for my orders, I was freezing. I don't think they even bothered to turn the heater on, or maybe it just wasn't working. But you can imagine that if you ate in the restaurant, your meal would go cold in a matter of minutes. It's a total shame, since the interior decor is rather nice. Also, while I enjoyed the aforementioned Yen Ching Fried Rice, I felt that the Yen Ching Chow Mein was not on the same level. While the flavors and ingredients were basically the same, I felt that the noodles chosen by the chefs were not top quality, especially taking into account that this is supposed to be one of their signature dishes. SUGGESTION TO MANAGEMENT: Sprinkle some fresh Sesame Seeds on the Dry Fried Chicken, and the dish will look visually appealing. And please turn on the heating in the restaurant during Winter. SUMMARY: If you want good Chinese food at reasonable prices, this place is definitely worth a try.

That said, this experience needs to be shared -- especially given the complete lack of concern for customer experience and food safety. I'm visiting the area for the weekend and decided to grab soup dumplings with a friend. It was our "cheat day," so we ordered about $60 worth of food, which wouldn't have been an issue if it had been edible. We ordered two lunch combo plates, pork bao buns, and pork and vegetable dumplings. Food review: I ordered the General Chicken lunch combo. It tasted nothing like expected and was mostly thick breading covered in an overly sweet sauce that was supposed to be spicy. The rice was honestly the highlight of my meal -- though rice is hard to mess up... or so I thought, considering how sick I am while writing this, and that was mostly what I ate. My friend ordered the orange chicken, which looked and tasted exactly like mine--again, mostly breading. Her chow mein was cold in the middle, which made it seem like it was microwaved. I'm not usually nitpicky, but this was already turning into a bad experience. The pork bao buns weren't as bad as the rest of the food, but once we got to the "dumplings," we stopped eating altogether and threw everything away. The dumplings we ordered came out as steamed potstickers. I wish I had taken a picture--they looked awful. We gave them the benefit of the doubt since this place is literally called Dumpling House. That was a mistake. I took one bite of the dumpling with the sauce provided (soy sauce with chili flakes), which masked the taste. On the next bite -- without sauce -- I immediately noticed a horrible flavor. I smelled the dumpling and it had a rotten odor. At that point, I was completely done. When I got up to wash my hands and walked toward the bathroom, I took a closer look around. I noticed tin serving dishes that staff appeared to be eating directly out of, and a "wrapping" station set up on a table with wrappers laid out and a container of wonton filling just sitting there at room temperature. I don't know how long it had been out, but my friend mentioned it was there when we first walked in and assumed it was fresh. We were seated for about 30 minutes, and the filling remained out the entire time. Pork should absolutely not be left out that long -- and clearly, based on what we experienced, it wasn't safe. I've now spent the last six hours sick in my hotel room. Not only do I feel awful, but I'm also missing out on activities I had planned for this mini trip. Dumpling House -- please do better. Please care about your customers' health and safety.

Wild Chinese Buffet did NOT disappoint! The service is…read moreamazing, and the couple running the place are always so nice when we come in! I loaded my container up with spicy Szechuan chicken, garlic chicken, Mongolian beef, and white rice. Everything was fresh, hot, and seriously flavorful. You can tell the food isn't just sitting there, it actually tastes like it was just made. It helps when you actually see the cooks changing out the food regularly! And let's talk about portions... they PACK those containers to the point they barely close definitely got my money's worth and then some. For the price, if you're anywhere near this spot, this is the move. Big Back verified I'll definitely be coming back again!

We have not been here in a long time and I'm part of the group that had recommended trying it out…read moreso we went... I believe these are new owners. Our server/owner? was so sweet, and accommodating. I asked to customize a few dishes and she did not hesitate. Hubby ordered the #2 combo with Chicken Chow Mein, Fried Shrimp and Sweet and Sour Pork. I ordered a number of dishes ( I love left overs) Mongolian Beef. I ordered the orange chicken with less breading/batter. It was made perfectly. The hot and spicy green beans were delicious (requested less gravy/sauce) and I ordered BBQ Pork Chow Mein with Small Noodles (similar to the soy sauce chow Mein I have had at other restaurants) there was an additional charge of $3.. but I'll pay that anytime over regular noodles. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is very casual. At some point it could probably use a makeover, but as I've always said, I've never dined anywhere where it had to be fancy. I imagine it's how they keep the prices more reasonable; but decor hasn't changed since we patronized the Italian restaurant 20 years ago. The ambience does not impact my decision in making this place a new "go to" Be back soon.
