Set meals? Meh. Soup? Yeah yeah. Restaurant also offering takeaway service? Who doesn't? No, where China House comes into its own is with offshoot menus offering both Thai and, more unusually, Japanese fare. There's also a hint of - woop - Malaysian food!
Add to all this a meaningful children's menu which refuses to go down the nuggets line and seven-days-a-week (and most bank holidays) opening and we're really onto something. A four-and-a-half-hour Sunday buffet rounds things off.
Hopefully that's enough to get you through the door. The venue itself is fine, but the location is at best blink-and-you'll-miss-it and at worst, undermined by a shopping precinct setting. Wylde Green is fine and that Birmingham Road stretch, like nearby Boldmere, is one of the few commercial strips still bearing independent traders. It's just a shame that the precise part in which China House lies is just that bit too 'concrete' - you half expect parkour jumpers. Logging onto the website to view the menu should be enough to get you past appearances. read more
