After spending most of the day exploring around Scotts Bluff National Monument...I was just craving some homely, comforting Chinese Food. I simply plugged restaurants into Google Maps and here it is...Wonderful House located right nearby my location. Around 4pm during this Pandemic summer of 2020, the parking lot was virtually empty looking. I was a little nervous about whether they were even open or offered dine-in, but according to Google they did. Well, I went inside and there were people, lol! I mentioned 1 person dining in to the staff and they sat me at a booth. That was easy. And yes...they spaced out the tables so every patron was more than 6 feet away from each other. I liked the entire setting of Wonderful House. It was big enough to accommodate families and plenty of diners. Once I took a seat, I had an optimistic feeling I would like my experience. A gentleman handed me a menu and asked if I wanted anything to drink. I went with my go-to choice...always hot tea. Wonderful House has everything you could ask for out of a Chinese restaurant. Anything on the menu...they featured it. What really caught my attention and which I navigated towards immediately was obviously the Combination Specials. They were ultra cheap!!! And these combos offered a ton of food too! Wow, okay so the 3 different combination plates they featured were labeled - A, B and C. And each one cost $8.95! Wow...$8.95 for a combo platter and especially during early dinner hours? Woohoo! You can't get that around here where I'm from in South Florida! So yes...this was like the best deal along my entire cross country road trip, hehehe. Let me explain what these options - A, B and C detailed... A - Soup of the day, Appetizer: both Egg Roll and Crab Rangoon, Entree - Sweet and Sour Combo including shrimp, chicken and pork or BBQ Pork fried Rice - $8.95. B - Soup of the Day, Appetizer: both Egg Roll and Foil Wrapped Chicken, Entree - Broccoli Beef or BBQ Pork Fried Rice - $8.95. C - Soup of the Day, Appetizer: both Egg Roll and Foil Wrapped Chicken, Entree - Almond Fried Chicken or BBQ Pork Fried Rice - $8.95 I easily knew what I wanted. I went with Option B! I started with a nice cup of hot Egg Drop Soup and added some crispy noodles which they complimentary served. My main dish came out shortly afterwards. And...this was like the most food I had witnessed on a plate in a long time! There was plenty of beef and broccoli, an egg roll, foil wrapped chicken (which prior to here I had never even heard of, lol) and brown rice. I was good to go. I was happy and satisfied, just what I was yearning for after a long day enjoying the sights at Scotts Bluff. I can't say enough good things about the beef and broccoli combo. All the food appeared fresh right out of the wok. My server handed me the check when I was finished. They charged $1.00 or so for the hot tea and with the $8.95 and tax...the meal came to around $11. I gladly handed the waiter $15 and said keep the change. Overall, I couldn't believe how fortunate I was to have uncovered this Wonderful House. Yeah...I would never have expected to find quality Chinese Food at rock bottom prices in Western Nebraska!! Yet I gladly give this restaurant 5 stars and recommend it. read more

This is exactly what one should expect for American Chinese food. the food quality, quantity and appearance are PERFECT for diner/cafe style Chinese food. The portions are larger than necessary, the flavor is EXACTLY the same as 86% of the restaurants in this category. overall, I'd recommend this place for satisfying your need to eat that Chinese food you've been denying! Also, extremely fast! the bad, no authenticity, bland fried rice (extremely) less than friendly counter staff. my lunch was missing the soup. the place could certainly be cleaner and the lunch special should be available under $10.00, even if the entree was short 5 pieces of meat. overall, I'm very glad for the experience I had and will DEFINITELY be back! read more

LoMein....worst I've ever had anywhere on this planet. Taste & smell was odd in a bad way and the noodles were over cooked to the point of mush, No Thanks.... read more

When we walked in we should have turned and walked out. The employees were wonderful, friendly and super attentive so that was great. But, our shoes stuck to the floor as we were escorted to our table. Everyone's did. The sound of shoes peeling off of the floor was the backdrop to a disappointing lunch. The window at our table was noticeably dirty. We ordered egg drop soup, egg rolls, crab cheese wontons. The soup was pretty good, egg rolls ok and wontons were a hard no thanks. Our dinner was teriyaki chicken and it was horrible. If you have ever bought orange chicken at Costco then you know Exactly what their teriyaki chicken tasted like. Highly processed and processed sauce. Nothing about this was teriyaki. If you decide to try it hopefully you have a better experience but we won't be back. read more

I can't say anything bad about the people or the service, but the last couple times I have been in there it stunk like a sewer. I'm pretty sure the sewer drain in the mens room has been backing up and they are just pouring bleach down the drain. You guys really need to address this. It's a major health risk. read more

I travel a lot all over the US... This could rank well with any place highly regarded from San Francisco to Dallas. Clean, fast service and really large portions of good food. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. The walnut shrimp and vegetable delight is so good. We will definitely order this again.

The hot and sour soup was fantastic, with perfectly cooked egg and seasoned broth. Hot and sour soup is a good barometer for excellence, and this passed with flying colors. I had a delicious vegetable and noodle dish, well-seasoned and good portion size. If you're in town, I definitely recommend stopping in. Great options for vegan/vegetarian and other dietary restrictions. read more

Nice restaurant with clean atmosphere. Service was quick and pleasant. We ordered two entrees and neither disappointed. Portion size was large and price was good. If you're in Scottsbluff and hungry for some Asian food make this the place! read more

Hubby and I have been to Wonderful House a few times now. We love it! Everyone is friendly and the food is fresh and served hot and quick. Our favorite is probably the sesame chicken, but we've also tried various beef dishes and the are all pretty good. I love that you get a spring roll, rice, soup, and wonton with each meal. read more

Bad. $61 and we left the food. No flavor. The Dr Pepper was good. We did not even like the egg rolls. This was for 2 people. My daughter did not like her food either. If you like egg, there is as much egg as there is rice. The egg drop soup was awful. The poo poo platter no better. I got scallops and shrimp with veggies. It was bland. I did not like the smell of the scallops so after 1 bite I just left it. My daughter had a sweet n sour special. The pieces are big so it was a no for her. Not tasty either. read more

Chinese in Scottsbluff?? Who would of ever think that this restaurant is straight fire. This was the hidden gem of the town. Low key was scared going to get Chinese in this small town. Sesame chicken wowzer was great with perfect sauce. Beef Chow Mein was delicious the steak in it was juicy easy to eat and savory. Fried squid was interesting with the no sauce move, but it was simple and it worked. read more

We recently moved to this area. I'm from Boston... where I grew up we were raised on Chinese food for special occasions, and basically whenever we wanted a nice meal. My husband was born and raised out west, he moved out to the Boston area due to his career and met me there. He never got the Chinese food thing. He actually found it repulsive. So it was Christmas Eve a HUGE Chinese food night in my former place of residence... I felt pretty homesick and felt I had to settle for this Chinese food. I was taken aback by the restaurant. Where I lived the Chinese restaurants are fabulously decorated, and there's always a huge lounge with many merry makers on the holidays. So I walked in and was very sad. No bar, no big parties.. Well I was there and ordered some take out anyway... guess what? It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my word, I never expected that! We ordered a po po tray? (where I come from it's a pu pu platter) pork fried rice, pot stickers ( Peking ravioli where I come from) and Singapore noodles. I was very shocked and happily surprised that this food was so yummy. We all enjoyed every bite! It was different from what we are used to, but I will say the food was very fresh, the rice perfectly cooked, the noodles were amazing, the pot stickers were so good! Wasn't fond of the aluminum foil wrapped chicken... but everything else was terrific!!! Even my husband loved it, and he hates Chinese cuisine!!! read more

Service here is bad. We did a pick up order and they lady on the phone was incredibly rude. Then when we got the food we called to get it fixed and we were met with them being even worse. The food here is pretty average Chinese food. Probably one of the better options in this small town. The hot and sour soup is ok, there is a very questionable meat in it. read more

I've tried this place six times now and I order something new every time. The food tastes similar to Chinese food from the frozen aisle at your grocery store. Tried sushi as well and the sushi at Walmart was better quality, also Fresh Foods and the Co Op has an okay selection. Staff is super friendly and the environment is welcoming so I would return with coworkers or friends, I'd just eat appetizers. read more

Very bad experience here , my wife ordered combination plates for her and my 3 year old son. After the fist bit of the noodles she noticed she bit down on something hard, turns out it was a long piece of metal. Furious, after I was shown this I told them I wanted my money back , they responded with we will make a new plate. I said I don't want another plate with a surprise piece of metal , I just want my money back and they refused. This matter has now been referred to the Health Department. read more

Delicious food, great service, family atmosphere. Portions were ample and substitutions easily made. Surprisingly good!

Such a great place. The staff, food is so amazing. The price of each meal is truly reasonable! I hope they continue to serve the community! read more

We were so happy to find this place when we moved here from Colorado!!!! This place would be a contender for best food in a big town!!! And we get it all to ourselves!!!! read more

Really awful. Cashew chicken had almost no chicken or vegetables. Interestingly, it had a ton of cashews. When did chicken become more expensive than cashews. Potstickers were straight out of a freezer. They weren't edible. Lo mein noodles were old, reheated. Really disappointed. I won't be back. Ever. read more

I love wonderful house so much, the food is so good. The food came out pretty quick too and was at a very good temperature. All the staff was very nice and funny. When you go up to pay they always make small chat with you and make you laugh. If I'm not feeling well I always go there to get some egg drop soup or the hot and sour soup which always makes me feel better. It's a very homely environment as well. You can always hear people laughing, and the hostess's at the front are always nice. I love this place. I totally recommend it!! read more

So good nice service food was amazing and we go there on nice occasions because how good a place it is.

Yum love their food, always exactly what you want. I like the sesame chicken and egg rolls.

I struggle rating places that are in the middle of nowhere. Chinese in the middle of Scottsbluff, NE is kind of scary. Do I rate it based on where it's located or how it compares to all other Chinese places? We ordered lunch take out from here yesterday for the entire team. I ordered something simple, Cashew Chicken lunch special. It was okay, it came with fried rice, one egg roll, and a crab cheese wonton. The egg roll and wonton weren't especially memorable but were decent for NE I guess. Overall I wasn't blown away and I didn't get sick. If I was in the area again I would probably pass on lunch from here. Not worth it in my opinion. read more

I expected more from this place after the reviews I had read. I would've given it 2 stars, but the staff was quite friendly. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't very good. Definitely at the bottom of my list for Chinese. If you're in the area, I'd recommend eating at one of the great Mexican restaurants nearby instead. read more

Adequate Americanized Chinese food. They are able to handle big groups quickly and efficiently. I liked their chicken chow mein. They have good combination meals if you can't decide on just one item. Reasonably priced. 3 stars because of the restaurant need a massive deep cleaning. The blinds were dusty and sticky. The entry way had a "caution wet floor" sign, yet, the cobwebs and dust surrounding the plant in the entryway suggested otherwise. read more

This place is the best in terms of Scottsbluff has a lot to be desired but, this is the best in the area

Amazing food we love it. They lost a star because they aren't particularly clean and the bathroom has septic vent issues. (Note: get a seat as far from the restrooms as possible.) read more

When I lived here this was my go to place to eat. I haven't been able to find another place like it where I live now. The egg drop soup and crab ragoons are to die for. I use to always get the chicken fried rice, but the curry shrimp, and sesame chicken are so good too. The only thing is the service was slow. read more

Passing through from Alabama. Parked across the street in our RV and needed dinner within walking distance and didn't want fast food. This was an excellent choice. Very clean. Huge servings. I can't express how much food they give you. We could have easily split a meal. My husband had sesame chicken and I had Mongolian beef. We both had fried rice. It was all so very tasty. We would definitely choose Wonderful House again!!! Even though the place was packed out, we quickly received our meals without much wait at all. read more

Great Chinese food. Been going here for years. Used to come here in highschool with my close friend after winter finals. It's truly a cozy environment when there are few people eating. The food is truly excellent and the service is always very very quick and efficient. I've never had a complaint with this business. Highly recommend. read more

Have been here many times over the years. Great food typically. Definitely the best Chinese restaurant in Scottsbluff. Tons of options for dishes, kids meals, and burgers if you have someone who doesn't care for this cuisine. They also serve alcohol or hot tea and the soda is super good oddly. Service is typically standard occasionally not so great. Has a nice environment and with nice tables/decor. Highly recommended and nice locale. You can even ask for chopsticks if you want to give that a try! read more

Great food (The fried rice totally hit the spot, basically all the food we got was tasty), good service... a hidden gem in Scottsbluff.

Surprised to find such good food in Nebraska - recommended by a friend who comes frequently and glad that I decided to stop. The employees were so friendly and accommodating; the specials are huge amounts of food so come with an appetite or be ready to share! Prices were great especially for what you get. It is a bit of a drive from where I live to come regularly but when I am in town and craving Chinese I will definitely be back! read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. Always have consistently good food and pricing is fair.

Without a doubt, Wonderful House has the best Chinese in the area. Tables are clean, food is delivered promptly. Large selection and reasonable prices. Great drinks. The pu-pu platter is large and comes with a grill/fire in the middle. The restaurant is the only Chinese place I've been to that serves calamari. read more

When you don't take America Express, you alienate business customers. When those customers come in & say something & they're told "I don't want to hear your shi*", you never come back & you get 1 star reviews. I highly recommend you start accepting AMEX & hire a different cashier with a better attitude. Otherwise you get 1 star reviews like this one. I would have given you a 20% tip on a pickup, instead you got a 0.00$ tip and a 1 star review. Best of luck. For the record. Visa, MasterCard & discover charge about 3% & Amex charges 3.25-3.75. It's not worth the trouble to not accept it. read more

The food was horrible!! It was overcooked and too salty, I found a ball of hair in my sweet and sour chicken! I don't recommend this place. They also told us to hurry and leave. Really disappointed! read more

This place is arguably the best Chinese food in the county...perhaps even in the entire panhandle of Nebraska. That being said, you should take these comments from the perspective of someone who has lived elsewhere and travelled often. The food and service both pale in comparison to what one can expect to find in bigger cities like Denver, Austin, or Omaha, and it can't hold a candle to the Chinese food and service one can get in coastal cities like L.A., Miami, or Honolulu. Still, it's a good value overall. The food is reasonably priced, with all of the daily lunch plates priced below $10. There are regular dinner specials and family combinations, as well. The portions are large enough that even a big eater like me always needs a to-go box. The food is flavorful, and the atmosphere is inviting. The General's Chicken could be improved (really needs some work here), but we enjoy the Orange Chicken and the Beef and Broccoli plates. On the service side, the staff would benefit from some training with a customer service specialist from a corporate franchise (such as P.F. Changs, Applebee's, or Chili's), but the servers do a reasonably decent job. It is important here to note that the service mentality at Wonderful House is a reflection of the community. They tend to be a little curt and inflexible, and they struggle with meeting the varying requests of city folk who are use to having every demand met. A big fish in a little pond doesn't have to worry about competition. For instance, this afternoon I asked for an extra egg roll with my meal. The server asked me if I wanted a side of two or a side of four egg rolls. I said I only wanted one extra egg roll. The server told me I can only order two or four egg rolls, but I couldn't get just one extra egg roll. In any city with lots of competitors, the server would be used to the request and would know exactly how to ring up just one egg roll, and the owners/managers would encourage the staff to do whatever it takes to ms the customers happy. After all, the customer may not "always" be right, but no one wants the customer to go next door to the competitor's restaurant. It's a different story, however, when the customer has to drive an hour or more to get a better option. read more
