The low reviews of this hole in the wall Chinese restaurant DO NOT MAKE SENSE! Take from them what you will, but we went there for the first time yesterday and we're blown away by the cleanliness of their restaurant, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, and the deliciousness of our food choices! Everything in the photo was EXCELLENT, from the pork and cabbage rolls, to the chicken lo mein, to the boneless ribs, to General Tso's chicken, to the chicken fried rice. The only menu item that didn't blow our minds were the fried spring rolls, but they were OK. Definitely give this place a try if you are in the area! We can't speak to the online ordering experience, or DoorDash, or anything like that, but for yummy sit down Chinese food? We were very satisfied. read more

China House - H1. Special 1 - Chinese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

When it comes to Chinese food, I'm usually not one for the big chain restaurants. I prefer the little hole-in-the-wall places, and despite some of the reviews, I thought China House was a great find. The portion sizes were generous, and the food came out fresh. The fried rice was on point, and I decided to try their potato chicken for the first time. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but wow--it was delicious and something I'd definitely order again. I was just passing through while traveling, and I'm glad I stopped here. If you're in the area and looking for a solid local Chinese spot, I'd recommend giving this place a chance instead of letting the reviews make up your mind. read more

It's a plain strip mall restaurant. Clean. Friendly service. Now for the important part. The food is really good. It's my partner's favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Some highlights: The breading on the sesame chicken was light and crisp. The fried rice is flavorful. We ordered lunch specials and both took dinner home because the portions were generous. read more

The BEST Chinese food I have had in Washington! Reminded me of back home East coast Chinese food. Generous portions & the prices are fair. Sad this isn't closer to my house lol. But we drive the 30 minutes for it! Cute small inside looks clean too. You need to get the sweet and sour chicken, crab Rangoons , and chicken lo mein. You won't regret it read more

I've started hunting for solid Chinese takeout in the Olympia/Lacey area. Not elevated but not rubbish either. It only took two tries, because I think this is my place. I ordered on their website, which was easy to use, although I wish there were more pictures. It said my order would be ready in 10-25 minutes, and it was ready when I got there after an 11 minute drive. I got two lunch specials to try a few things. I got chicken lo mein sub pork fried rice for steamed rice (no charge!) and general tso's chicken sub vegetable lo mein for steamed rice ($1.50 extra). The food was hot, and even after another 11 minute drive home, was so hot it steamed up my camera lens. After another ten minutes it was cool enough to eat (I did burn my tongue on the first bite). The rice was perfectly cooked, and the pork in it was the pink Chinese bbq style, not the usual fried rice and noodle mystery meat pork. The lo mein dishes were both savory, and the dominant ingredient was noodles and chicken in the chicken lo mein, not veggies. And the veggies in both lo mein dishes were crisp and fresh. General Tso's chicken was not overly sweet, although I only selected +2 spicy, and wish I'd gone higher as +2 was a bit mild for me. A little sriracha punched it up. This is a classic tiny hole-in-the-wall strip mall Chinese joint, but was clean and homey. The gal at the counter was friendly and juggled a customer ordering in person, me picking up my order, and someone ordering by phone seamlessly. The last thing I'll say is that they have "helper chopsticks." These consist of a pair of chopsticks bound with rubber bands with a rolled chopstick wrapper between them to make noob and kid-friendly chopsticks. Not sure if this was an invention of China House, but I've never seen it and think it's brilliant. Edited to add: Two lunch specials was a TON of food for a bit over $11. I didn't plan on eating all of both, but I ate way less than half of what I got and needed a nap. read more

I ordered the orange chicken, boneless ribs, garlic chicken, egg drop soup and fried rice. It was all on point when it comes to flavor and quality of my food. It's been difficult finding good food in Olympia so I'm glad to have found this place in Lacey fairly close. read more

This place reminded us of the Chinese food our parents liked in a good way. Family owned and operated, service kind and caring, and the food came out almost instantly. It was a little salty for me, but tasted good. read more

Almond chicken was delicious. Almond sauce on the side. Subbed noodles for rice :) Service was great. Tea was good too. He made to much and gave us an extra cup. read more

Got lunch special even on Saturday until 300. Had cashew chicken plus fried rice 11.99! I ordered on their website. It is a small place in a strip mall next to Safeway. Place was clean. Staff friendly. read more

China House - L27. Mongolian Beef Lunch - Chinese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

New to the area and in search of good Asian food like we had in SF area. This place was friendly. I was in line to order and a doordash person ran up to the counter and took cuts. I was annoyed by that. I ordered and found the portion sizes crazy small. Ordered House Egg Foo Young and Lo Mein. Neither were something to write home about and cost over 30 dollars. Yikes. Won't be going back here. read more

Food is good but restaurant does not like to fix their mistakes. My first experience with this is when I ordered a dish and requested no peanuts (even the receipt had no peanuts) but it was delivered with peanuts. I called store and they said to bring back dish and they would remove peanuts. So I asked if they would reimburse me for the delivery fee ($20) since I was essentially picking up my order myself; they said no. Second experience I had was an order with extra fee for a can soda with for delivery. Order came without soda. Restaurant stated I soda wasn't ordered and then I told them the item is on the receipt and I was charged. They then try to blame the delivery driver and stated I needed to contact Uber Eats for a refund. I asked did they tell the delivery driver that he needed to get the soda from the refrigerator because it was part of the order? She stated " I forgot to tell them". So I'm confused as to why I would contact Uber Eats for refund when it was clearly a mistake on the restaurant's end. Restaurant once again offered no resolution in form of restaurant credit or money back. Again, food is good but customer service is severely lacking. read more

ordered over the phone, asked for some extra rangoon sauce and look at what they gave me. I love them. read more

I am very impressed with this restaurant. I am from out of town but I stopped there because it looked like it might make what I like and they did.They went outside the norm and made exactly what I liked. They made me sesame chicken with the meat that I like. And I had some crab cream cheese ragoons and it was amazing. I have never seen fried rice made so well In my life. read more

horrible the guy was eating in the kitchen terrible service this place sucks I would never go here again

I live in Rainier and we don't have a Chinese restaurant here. When we're looking for fabulous Chinese food, we're willing to drive 25 minutes to this place to get our fill. There isn't one dish that we tried that hasn't been amazing. If you dine in, the service can be a little spotty sometimes, especially if they're busy, but the food makes it worth putting up with. read more

Had 2 lunch plates and quite disappointed. The beef/onions/peppers must have been cooked and reheated since some of the meat pieces were cold. The onions and peppers were relatively raw. The Beef and broccoli were more evenly heated although the broccoli was just too raw for my friends taste. When I mentioned the cold meat to the woman, she smiled but said nothing, not even an apology. My friend was interested in the home delivery, but not after the meal. We will not be returning. read more

No stars these people are careless ! And cheap! Ordered sweet and sour chicken and it came with no sauce !! Don't order from this place ! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE !!! FOOD SUCKED AND WAS COLD!!! OVERPRICED!!! Never will i order front this place again! LOOK AT ALL THE BAD REVIEWS !!! Wish I ordered JAPANESE read more

China House - BLAND Sweet & Sour Chicken (Lunch) JUNK!! - Chinese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

The food rarely disappoints. I placed a large order for my daughter's birthday dinner. When I picked it up the receipt showed the total being about $60 less than what I paid online and it wasn't corrected. There doesn't appear to be any reason for the up charge and I'm disappointed that when asked about it I wasn't able to get an answer. I would suggest ordering over the phone and paying when you pick up rather than online if that's an option. read more

I really want to like it more than this; the egg foo yung is amazing, but most things are standard fare! That's not always bad. The food is well cooked and made from fresh ingredients; from the Safeway next door! Nothing wrong with that, either! Anyway, been there four or five times. Once it was amazing, wonderful, couldn't believe it. The other few times have not lived up to that initial burst. No egg rolls? My kids were sad. I will go back, it's super close read more

Excellent food at a reasonable price! Never a wait. Restaurant is always clean. Good selection of food read more

My 3 kids and I waited for 1 whole hour for our food with nowhere to sit in the lobby of the restaurant. We waited with others who were also experiencing a very long 1hr+ wait time. My children needed to use the bathroom and they didn't even offer to open the bathroom for them. They had it strictly closed for employees only... how freaking heartless. 1ST THEY DON'T ISSUE REFUNDS and CONSISTENTLY FORGET PARTS OF YOUR ORDER. So basically they steal from you. 2nd The food is terrible and overpriced. 3rd You will wait an hour or longer for your food even if you are picking up. if you order delivery, I imagine it could take 90 minutes to 2 hours before you ever receive your food. By that time it will probably be cold and you'll regret ever ordering it. When I called about my missing item, the woman on the other line was blatantly snarky and told me they don't do refunds right away then offered me an in store credit for a small white rice. WHO IS GOING TO GO IN FOR 1 SMALL WHITE RICE at a restaurant they never want to eat at again? not me I do not recommend read more

Was in a hurry to grab lunch in between shifts today- was craving fried rice. A couple of other people dining at 12:15. Clean exterior and interior! Staff were very friendly, unfortunately not very knowledgeable with the menu. I'm pretty picky with chicken dishes and only order white meat/chicken breast. I asked which lunch combos were made with chicken breast. The lady taking my order said that she is new and wasn't sure, she turned to the 2nd lady working at the counter. She kind of shrugged and said that they only use chicken breast. I was a little hesitant at first, but she assured me that the only time she sees dark meat is when the cooks are preparing food for themselves. I went ahead and ordered the sesame chicken lunch meal. Appearance was nice, a lot of chicken! A good serving of pork fried rice. I cut into my first piece of chicken--just as I was expecting, it was dark meat. :-( I was in a hurry so ate what I could (about 1/4 of the chicken and all of the rice) and boxed up the rest to take home to share with my not-so-picky daughter. The flavor was great! The rice was fantastic! Overall, I would return. I will just be sure to stick with shrimp dishes since the staff are not able to steer me in the right direction when it comes to chicken. read more

China House - Dark meat in the sesame chicken Great tasting sauce though! - Chinese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I ordered on website and paid Pretty painless I called and they were able to bring order out to car. Food was hot tasted. Potstickers unremarkable ( frozen) Chicken chow mein was good mixed verges ok. Will order again. Price was ok. house special H6. read more

First off, didn't think food that good would come out of something stuck in a mini mall. But it did. We did pick up. Ordered thru their website. Prices were reasonable. Now for the food....it was good. Loved their Lo mein. Yum!! We did family style so we had all sorts of different items. I would recommend the house LoMein and try their potstickers. Also enjoyed the sesame chicken with vegetables. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. read more

Ordered through doordash. Ordered general tsao chicken for my boyfriend and we ended up getting sweet and sour chicken. His brown beef rice was dry. My white rice was overcooked. I also ordered coconut sauce and was given mayo? And I ordered extra general tsao sauce and ended up with watered down red sauce that tasted like dish soap. My egg rolls were the size of a pencil. I waited 45 minutes and everything was meh. read more

We really wanted Chinese for our Christmas dinner and we decided to give China House a try. Ordered on their website to pick up food at 4:30 which was a simple and easy process! Went to pick up food at 4:30, but it was not ready yet. They were super busy for the holiday which is understanding given it's the only place open other than McDonald's. Ended up not getting my food until 5:30 which is why I can't give China House a 5 star review. Despite waiting a really long time to pick up our order, Food ended up being delicious and I appreciated how decent-sized the portions were. We will definitely be a returning customer! read more

I admittedly have a difficult order, deleting items and swapping sauces on my entree but 99% of the time the order is correct and waiting on time for pickup. Best Chinese food in the area, reasonably priced and very kind staff! read more

We've gotten delivery from here several times over the past few years. Nearly every time we do an item is missing or the items are cold. This past time we ordered thru DoorDash rather then directly thru the restaurant thinking it would give us a better chance to get everything we ordered. Guess we were wrong. Restaurant called us after our order was picked up saying that we were missing an item from our order, asked us to have the "Dasher" to go back and pick up. Why the Dasher would do that is beyond me, they said they couldn't based on other orders they were needing to deliver. We called the restaurant back, and were told that their own driver couldn't bring it, because they were too busy. So basically....missing the items, with no form of refund or apology. Guess they were too busy. Needless to say, while we've enjoyed their food over the past 5 years in Lacey. We will be giving our business to a different restaurant in the area that will check that all orders placed are sent out with EVERYthing that was ordered..... Something tells me that China House needs to find someone to get their delivery house in order.... read more

The only Chinese restaurant around that does actually American Chinese food. WA has some weird obsession with bland teriyaki style food this is the only Chinese restaurant I've come across that has the same style as the east coast read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. It's a small restaurant with about 9 tables. Not much for decor, but it was very clean inside. They seemed to be doing a fair amount of takeout business.. Prices were very reasonable. I had broccoli with chicken and it looked and tasted amazing. It came with 2 generous portions of steamed rice. It was a very short wait to get my food and when I asked for hot sauce on the side, I was brought two different kinds and was not charged extra for it. I will definitely return when I'm in the area again! read more

They are open! I easily ordered on their website for pickup. Best Chinese food I've had in this area!! Gen tso is just the right amount of spicy- yum! Egg drop soup and Lo Mein were also good! Prices are reasonable too. Only thing they're missing for my perfect meal are egg rolls. I will definitely be back! read more

I was waiting for my food to be ready wheni noticed the phone rang multiple times and the lady who did the ordering focused on her cell phone and not the customers...very poor of them...so when u call and no one answers their to busy texting or on social media read more

We order China house a few times a month for take out and it is always good. We have tried many of the dishes but our family's favorite it the sweet and sour chicken, chicken lo mien, cashew chicken, and the general Tsao's. It is a little pricey, but we and found the portions to be generous enough for a second meal most of the time. read more

I've had their delivery a few times... But this place has the worst orange chicken, burnt orange peel flavor was like charcoal mixed with cleaning spray, plus extremely soggy breading. The bourbon chicken was good and they deliver on a Sunday evening. Sorry but I'd rather never eat chinese food on a Sunday for delivery... read more

China House - The black/brown bottom is the Orange peel... :/ - Chinese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I ordered take out today. It was my first time trying the food here. My choice was mostly because of its location - being the closest Chinese Restaurant to my home. My husband and I were both having a serious Almond Chicken craving. We were both very pleased with our order. We ordered the Almond Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, and Beef Chow Mein. The portion sizes were great and the food delicious! We had never seen Chow Mein served quite like this. It was in a very tasty broth of sorts - very different, but fantastic with the crunchy topping. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The only thing I'd change would be to add more crushed almonds to the gravy. We will definitely be back! read more

I stopped at China House for lunch and ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan. It was served hot and quickly. The highlight was vegetables that were cooked slightly crunchy, but tasted very bland. The chicken, broth, and fried rice tasted like a vaguely salty load of laundry, really awful. I certainly won't be going back. read more

I've been here twice first time I got beef and broccoli. They over did the fish sauce I think. Then I got orange chicken and it just tasted like it was frozen and microwaved to me or something. In every Chinese restaurant review I'm going to say the same thing... This area's Chinese food is absolutely trash. I've never found a good Chinese restaurant since moving out here. My biggest nightmare is I'll go back to my home town in Maine and I'll go to the place on Mill St and it's either closed down or their food is on par with what I've found since coming to Washington. read more
