I had a craving for some Chinese food, and discovered this place. It is small inside, and most people are just getting food to-go. The woman at the counter who helped me was super nice. I ordered the General Tso's chicken. I thought my portion was on par with other restaurants like this, and I had plenty of leftovers to make another meal out of it. I thought the sauce on the chicken was good, but not as spicy as I'd like. The fried rice that came with it was good as well. Overall, I'd say this is a better than average Chinese takeout. read more

This is the best Chinese-American takeout in the kc area! The value is fantastic, the portions are generous, and the food is always ready quickly. My husband has loved this place since he was young, and he introduced me to it. My go-to order is the chicken and broccoli, while his is the general tso's chicken. I like that they make the chicken and broccoli with brown sauce, instead of the white sauce that some other places make. Every lunch combo comes with a side of fried rice, as well as an egg roll or two crab rangoons. At $8, you can't beat the price! We have come here several times for takeout, and will definitely be back. read more

I previously lived in Lawrence (roughly 8 years ago) & this was my favorite Chinese place in all of Lawrence. Mostly because it was super tasty but also because they served large portions at a cheap price. Yummy & affordable, a broke college students dream. While visiting Lawrence this weekend, we decided to be lazy on Sunday night & order chinese. I was super excited to see that China House was still operating. But even more excited when we got our food & I discovered it tasted the exact same as it did 8 years ago. Hallelujah! The shop itself is unassuming. It's just your typical Chinese restaurant inside a strip mall. It's definitely not a place you go for a fancy dinner. But, if you're looking for a great tasting, affordable meal with a generous portion. This place is it! read more

Some of the best Chinese food we have had anywhere in the country. Location is nothing to look at, but we don't go to a restaurant for a "look". Food quality is impeccable! Service is a bit slow, but I think that is due to the language barrier - they speak little English which makes it all the more enjoyable & authentic. Everything is made to order!! So what if you have to get your own utensils and condiments - just take-out and you'll be fine little snowflakes! Do yourself a favor and patronize this establishment - just keep an open mind! read more

We were on our way home from a Colorado getaway and decided to stop in Lawrence, KS to pick up some Chinese food to go- China House did not disappoint. I really wish we had a Chinese takeout like this place where we live because I would probably go there every week or every other day. It was THAT good. I was very impressed with how authentic the takeout food tasted and just how fresh it was. We ordered bbq boneless ribs which had a really good taste but was just slightly salty for my liking but still really good, general tso chicken which was probably one of the best I've ever had, orange chicken which was good, and egg rolls which tasted handmade due to the bamboo veggies and how fresh it tasted. Their fried rice was also authentic and not that yellow, fake stuff that some Chinese places offer. Whenever we take more road trips west, I will definitely be back to China House for more takeout! I highly recommend!! read more

It has six booths..... Reminded me of a diner type place ......it was get your own plates get your own forks get your own napkins etc. all of supplies were piled in a corner and in one of the booths. Ordered crab Rangoon Mushu pork and beef with veggies. Crab Rangoon was a little greasy. Mushu pork was bland. Beef dish was just OK. Overall you were not impressed read more

OK do the math. College town + Tons of students = Tons of fast food places. If I recall, Lawrence used to be in the Guiness Book for the most fast food places per capita, but I digress. So my point??? China House is the best fast food place for Americanized Chinese food I have found in Lawrence or Kansas City. They make everything fresh, and it tastes that way. Most places in town cater to the student masses that want quantity and not quality, so I was happy to find this place. It was nice to finally sample dishes that actually taste different from one another when you try something new, unlike some of the other Chinese restaurants in Lawrence. Can't go wrong with China House! read more

My favorite Chinese food ever!! Food I always order: wonton soup, pork fried rice, and crab rangoons. I usually choose between the orange chicken, shrimp in garlic sauce, or the general tso. It's difficult though because everything is so good. Portion size is huge. I always have leftovers which is great because the food is just as delicious the next day too.

We couldn't wait to try this place after reading the reviews. I wish we would of left it at just reading because our food experience was not that great. We ordered a bunch of the crab rangoons. They had good flavor when they didn't drip in grease. The grease killed it for us. The shrimp fried rice was very cheaply made and nothing special. My girlfriend did not enjoy the sesame chicken. She said it didn't taste like chicken. The egg drop soup on the other hand was amazing. Great flavor. I would almost go back just for it. Well probably not because we drove 25 min to go there. Overall I would recommend trying another establishment. read more
