Typical New York style Chinese food in the heart of downtown Hawley. They are always busy and that's a good thing. Food comes out quick, no matter what we order and everything is freshly made . Order takeout since there isn't a lot of dining room. Be sure to ask for extras, such as napkins or chopsticks as they tend to not provide unless asked. Also, they are cash only but there is ATM inside read more

We've been going to the China House in Hawley, Pennsylvania for years, and it's hands down one of our favorite spots for dinner. Whether we're dining in or bringing it home, the food is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I personally can't get enough of their shrimp and broccoli--perfectly cooked shrimp with tender-crisp broccoli in a delicious sauce. Their cashew chicken is another one of my go-to dishes--rich, savory, and packed with flavor. Every dish we've tried has been consistently excellent. The prices are very reasonable, the portions are generous, and the people are incredibly kind and welcoming. It's a joy to support a local business that takes pride in what they do and treats their customers like family. We truly love going there and often look forward to bringing home a great meal to enjoy in the comfort of our own kitchen. Highly recommend! read more

Food is very greasy and most times over cooked making it difficult to chew and digest , I actually got an upset stomach after ordering take out ! Food isn't consistent so it's hit or miss , I will not be purchasing food here anymore ! read more

Good Chinese food in the middle of nowhere. Careful look for it. You may miss it. It seems in a place.

Best Chinese food in the area, and pretty far beyond! Ingredients are fresh and not drowned in sauce, we have a few good places by our primary residence but China House surpasses them without question. Kind of a hidden treasure in downtown Hawley read more

Way below minimal standards for your average take out Chinese joint. All food was bland. Egg Foo Yung was meh, the gravy was sweet (sweet gravy? Who... why?), all fried foods were over cooked and too oily, oil was not changed and tasted like fish, prices are almost double what is listed. Nothing was fresh. The Pork Fried Rice was just okay, the rest I couldn't finish. I have no idea what the good reviews of this restaurant are talking about. If they are not shills, then they must think cafeteria food is gourmet. The service is bad, but who cares? It's take out. You don't want to eat in here, it's a dive and not the kind of place you eat in. I don't mind a dive if the food is good. The first person to open up a decent Chinese or Asian restaurant in this area is going to make a mint, because there is no competition. Trust me, you'll do better buying canned Chinese food from a grocery store. read more

The best Chinese takeout in the area! Our family's favorites are: chicken and broccoli, general tso, and lo mein. The chicken and broccoli is so flavorful with a good sauce. General tso is so crispy and the sauce is great. The lo mein has a great char flavor to it! Crab rangoon, scallion pancakes, and hunan beef were also excellent. No credit card so be prepared with cash! Great deal and excellent food! read more

Absolutely love this restaurant, take out only. The food is always fresh and tastes great. Frequented local place so be prepared to wait for a few minutes. We love the cold noodles with ss & the lo mein read more

been going to this restaurant for take out for the past 4 yrs. it seems that there has been a change in ownership sometime over the last year. I normally get gen'l tso's chicken. It has been ok. Decent portions. Tonite I changed it up and ordered the steamed scallops with broccoli. In every Chinese restaurant I've ever ordered this dish the scallops & broccoli come in one container, with a small container of white rice on the side. Not here. I got a container 1/2 white rice, 1/2 broccoli, with a measly 5 scallops ( the small ones) as a garnish, certainly disproportionate -for $11.25 pictures attached. Totally disappointing. Such a ripoff. read more

There's always a long wait and it's a bit expensive but after you eat their food, you'll understand why ..one of the best Chinese in the area. It's cash only but they do have an ATM inside and not much room for seating it's more of a takeout delivery style .. great flavor and Great taste in almost all things we've tried. read more

New ownership in 2023. Most menu recipes are unchanged. *Except the vegetable fried rice is yellow rice with peas, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, and bean sprouts. It was very bland. Crab Rangoon is great. Lo Mein has changed flavor. CASH ONLY but ATM is inside. Mostly all take out. Dining in is less than desired. read more

Food was for the most part spot on. Generous servings, dumplings, wontons and egg rolls seemed house made. The scallion pancake was a miss, but not everything can be a home run. ( greasy). Truth be told, don't let the appearance of the place deter you. Best Chinese food I've had in the area. Extensive menu. The don't take credit cards, so keep that in mind. read more

This place SLAPS! I live on the west coast and there isn't any Chinese food like this. Boneless ribs. Egg roll. Orange chicken. Lo mein. Mmmmmm. The list goes on. This place is official. I eat it for dinner then breakfast the next day. read more

We visit my sister in law once a month and ALWAYS stop in this place. OUTSTANDING FOOD. That's my review! service is fast and outstanding also. Just wish they accepted credit cards. read more

Great food & service! Always on time, wonderful quality local Chinese. Wish they took card payments.

Not bad Chinese, they only take cash so beware of that, it's not the best Chinese I've ever had but it's certainly decent for the area

Food was okay. Didn't live up to the hype of earlier reviews however. Service was cold and impersonal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent take-out from China house. The food was fresh and flavorful. Every dish was great. A happy surprise.

Best chinese food we've had in the four years we've lived in Hawley and we're used to eating at Mei Mei in Jersey!

I believe I can give this restaurant the distinction of being the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. I grew up in San Francisco which has a large Chinese American demographic, and Chinese restaurants are abundant. This food was tasteless, unrecognizable, and just downright bad. Further the service is virtually zero, with the person standing behind the counter waiting for us to order, and then bringing the food out and plastic trays. Terrible read more

Sone of the food is ok but they don't want you to sit in the restaurant to eat. They have the table full of stuff so you can't sit down to eat. You have to take your food and leave. They do t take amy debit or credit cards which is a hassle for many people. There is a bank across the street but they charge a fee for using the ATM if you don't have an account with them which makes it even more of a hassle. The people who work there seem to be nice and the place is clean which is always a good thing. They don't deliver to anyone, not even anyone nearby who is disabled which makes them lose money since there are lots of disabled people living nearby. They keep charging more for their food but making the containers smaller which makes customers unhappy. read more

Friendly little "hole in the wall" place. Not aesthetically pleasing but the food is awesome!! The prices are great and the "portions" are over the top, literally!! Take out containers are STUFFED and then added to before they put the lid on. Always a great meal at an exceptional price!! read more

We just moved here recently and happy to see Chinese food so close to us.. We were very happy with our order the first time.. The food was really really good BUT after ordering a few times we saw that they aren't consistent and sometimes forget to put things in the bag ... So the food is usually good . Just wish it was good all of the time. read more

This is better than most New York City Chinese takeout places. That's a high compliment. The sauces aren't too sweet, salty, heavy, or spicy, which is what ruins so many other takeout joints. There's not too much oil. The meat is tender. The shrimp isn't fishy. Everything is prepared with care. It tastes like it's for adults, not like fast food Chinese. But my kid loves it too, which, she's not easy to please. For takeout Chinese, it's ideal. The prices are fair too. I'm giving it five stars because I can't recall having better Chinese from a hole in the wall like this. China House surprises, and wins. Caveat: It's still just takeout Chinese and you still feel less than great after eating it lol but you know, that's how takeout Chinese is. Within that limitation, this place rocks, just by being a little better than all the competition in its class. read more

Uh oh! Since my last review the new owners now use smaller containers for their combination platters. About 20% smaller. Not a good idea.

This place has the best Chinese food I've had in my entire life! Hands down the best Chinese food in north east pa!!! Everything I have ever ordered here was incredibly delicious. Not only that but their take out is always quick... usually only a 15-20 minute wait. I get food here once or twice a month. Only complaint I have is that you cannot pay with a debit/credit card so make sure you come with cash! (Also for all of the Karen's who are giving bad reviews because of their dine in experience, this place is really just meant for take out not dine in) BUT THE FOOD IS WORTH IT. read more

I just moved here from Ny & China House gives them a run for their money. The food here is always consistently delicious, fresh & order is always correct. The owner is always so hospitable. I love coming here. Highly recommended!! read more

From out of town and called in an order. Took almost a dozen rings for the woman to answer. Took my order (General Tso combo with 2 pork egg rolls. She hung up without a thank you, giving me a total, or telling me how long. When I arrived I noted a small dining area with no one eating and several people waiting. When it was my turn I told her what I had ordered and she put it in a paper bag and took my 20 without comment. I noticed that they do not take credit cards but have an ATM so the customers can pay the fees and they don't have to. When I took my order out of the store I immediately noticed it was extremely hot, so hot in fact I had to keep switching hands to hold the bag. My local Chinese takeout uses a piece of cardboard for insulation. China house does not. When I returned to my hotel I noticed that I had three egg rolls (score!). I looked at the General Tso's chicken and it looked really red. I thought that it was going to be really spicy hot. Nope. It was BBQ sauce and not the sauce that is usually on GT's chicken. The fried rice that came with it was the best fried rice I have had in a really long time. Three stars because the chicken was edible but not what I ordered, but the rice was excellent. read more

I love China House's food! Everything is fresh and tasty. My family has been eating here since we moved to the area in 2005. We have come to know the whole family. They are good hard working people. read more

Hands down the best Chinese for miles. Everything is always delicious! They're dining area could be better, but besides that I have no complaints! I've been going there for over ten years and have tried every other local place and none of them have even compared! They do not accepts cards, but they do have a very convenient ATM right next to the counter. I saw a lot of other reviews complaining about this, but a lot of places to eat in Hawley are the same way. The town as a whole has a lot of catching up to do. read more

While the in-person ordering part of customer service has room for improvement, our takeout order, the food itself and value for money was good enough to earn 4 stars. We had the house special chow mein and fried chicken wings with pork fried rice. We were visiting the area from NYC so even though it looked like your typical chinese take out restaurant, (in other words we wouldnt have a family dinner there), the food met our expectations. read more

We started vacationing at Lake Wallenpaupack regularly last year. We are thrilled with all the neighborhood restaurant options. China House is quality Chinese takeout. We've eaten there at least 6 times and we were impressed each time. read more

The restaurant itself isn't too attractive but it's my favorite Chinese hands down. Never disappointed.

I used to enjoy going here to get some good Chinese food. I noticed recently that the containers for take out are smaller and the prices are a bit higher than what they were. The food is good but I wish they wouldn't have switched to smaller containers. They don't accept credit cards but they have an ATM there for people to use and pay bank fees. The dining area is small and hardly any room for people to sit there and eat in. During the summer months they don't use an air conditioner and the place get VERY HOT!! The floor in the dining area always looks dirty. With all the people that go in and out of that place they track in a lot of dirt but you never see anyone using a broom to sweep it up. They can have 1 of the teenage kids that are there hanging around sweep the floor but the kids are always hanging out at a table or in the kitchen. read more

No matter how many different places I try that serve Chinese food this is by far always the best

Great food. Nice staff. Takeout, and a couple of tables to eat in if you want. We takeout from there so much that when we call our order in they know our phone number. Give it a shot when you are in the area, you will not be disappointed. read more

Very disappointed with the serve, the woman working the front, taking orders was unwelcoming, she put my change on the counter and had an attitude when I asked for a fork for my to go food, to top it off she put the fork I had to ask for on the counter. yes, on the counter. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I should have traveled a little further maybe I would have got better serve. read more

Good local Chinese food - sesame chicken is great. Their diet menu is also really good if you need to watch salt intake.

when you're craving a little MSG the chicken lo mein is just the perfect amount of greasy and there are even vegetables in there! also a fan of the general's chicken + the shrimp sweet and spicy read more

The food is good but they seem very unappreciative. There is no courtesy and don't ask for a calendar unless you spend at least $25--regardless of how often you go there. They have no competition in this small town and they need that in order to treat their patrons right. read more
