    3 flavor sizzling plate
    Louis L.

    Last week on the way back from Yosemite late evening, we're hungry and wanted to have dinner before getting home late. We searched on the map and we found this restaurant in Oakdale. It's in a huge parking lot that is easy to find a space, it was a Friday and quite a few people in the restaurant, good sign. This seems to be a family owned restaurant, the 2 brothers seem to take care of everything from busting the table to serving. They're both quite pleasant and attentive. Looking at the menu, the prices are quite reasonable, every dish is under $18. We're hungry and tired so we ordered the wor wonton soup to start, our favorite Chinese soup, we got the medium but quite large for both of us since we wanted to order something else. The soup is quite tasty although the color of the soup isn't as clear as other restaurant, the wontons are over cooked and the skin are falling off the meat, everything else is good. Mu Shu pork: it came with 5 chinese tortilla, quite large, a little thick but eatable, the stir fried ingredients are quite flavorful. It's also huge, I think it's intended for 5 people as appetizer. Beef Chow Fun (dry) which we like, came out very good and the portion is also big. It looks like we're going to take a whole bunch home. The Sizzling combo plate is quite sizzling and very tasty, but we could only try a few bites because we're full. This restaurant is quite amazing for the area. We're glad we found this place, everything is inexpensive and quite excellent. Next time if we go to Yosemite, we may stop by.

    China house is currently under new management, but still great service that they always provide. The food is still delicious as always. The ambience is casual, relaxed atmosphere.The price is great as well!

    Best War Won Ton Soup evvvverrrrr!!!! 10 stars hidden gem!!! Passing thru from the casinos and wanted some war wonton soup saw this and gave them a try it was best decision all birthday weekend!!!

    This is the CHICKEN chow mein..... with no chicken, and the very dry over cooked garlic chicken.

    I stopped by China House today to pick up dinner for tonight. It was recommended by a few neighbors on Next Door. It was horrible!!!!! I ordered 2 combo dinners: Garlic chicken, almond chicken, chow mein and fried rice. I've attached a picture of the CHICKEN chow mein and the GARLIC chicken. The garlic chicken had to be cooked 2-3 days ago. It had no flavor of garlic or chicken! There was no glaze-like sauce on it, none! There was no chicken, or anything else in the chow mein.... only noodles. The almond chicken literally had barely any almonds in it, so I added my own. It did have chicken but I'm not sure what part of the chicken it was. Worse Chinese food EVER!!!!!

Felt like my grandmother's old saying that they roll up the sidewalks after 8 PM on a Sunday night. Beyond Taquerias, a couple of hamburger drive-ins that were still open, we found this Chinese restaurant. We arrived 30 minutes before closing, and they were definitely not happy to see us, but they were willing to serve us. We got the Hunan Villa's dinner which came with a Pupu plate and your choice of soup and your choice of entrée. We ordered the dinner for two as the Babes only grazes. They gave us settings for three, including for the soup without having to be asked. Both the Hubbs and the babes had fun with the Pupu platter. I was more tired than hungry, but ended up enjoying the food. It had that old school greasy spoon American Chinese flavor that I've been missing. The food isn't fancy, but it's plentiful and tasty and reminded me of the Chinese restaurants when I was a kid. The Hubbs chose Mongolian beef and we got tons of beef and I chose the honey walnut prawns and they gave us at least 20 prawns. The portion sizes were huge. I was expecting that they had provided food for three but when we got our check, they charged us the dinner for two. We took home the leftovers and there was enough food for two additional meals. Forgot to take additional pictures and the total came out to about $42. I had $60 on me in cash and left that to cover the tab and tip, since they stayed open late for us. Definition of cheap eats and we will definitely be back the next time we go to the reservoir.

One concern I have is the recent charges for sauces on takeout orders. When dining in, sauces are provided at no additional cost, but for takeout there is now a charge for items like chili oil and even extra Sriracha packets. I understand that restaurants have costs to manage, and I'm not trying to be petty or rude. However, charging $1 for two Sriracha packets feels excessive to me. I would encourage you to reconsider these charges, or perhaps only apply them when a customer requests an unusually large amount of sauce. Small requests for condiments seem like a reasonable part of a takeout order, especially for customers who regularly support your business. I appreciate your time and hope you'll consider this feedback from a loyal customer.

Since they have had the same owners for over four decades, I was confident it hadn't changed too much. First, a disclaimer, I am no stranger to Chinese food as I have traveled extensively in the Orient a number of times, and having married into a Chinese family who emigrated from the Middle Kingdom back during the Cultural Revolution. My wife is half Chinese and knows her dishes. We ordered a variety of plates, as you will see in the attached pictures. Every one was spot on from soup to fortune cookies (which are not Chinese by he way but that's OK). Total spent was about $125 with tip. The service was solid, we were greeted as soon as we opened the door, as were all diners. The selections came out promptly, were attractively prepared. Assistance was offered to pack up leftovers (which we planned on, budgeting in take home for tomorrow and Thursday's meals). As for score, I give the place it a solid 5 out of 5. We WILL be coming back. My wife was still raving on the place when we got home. My only comment not glowing is that the floor could have used a touch near the entryway. And if you plan on a large group, seating is limited, and the locals know how good this place is. It was busy with both dine in and take out. Give it a try!
