Food was amazing. Service was slow. I think there was only one waitress working on the evening we dined there. Prices comparable to other restaurants. As diners walked in I heard them comment how Chuna House is awesome. I woud def return and cannot wait. It is a 30 min drive from my home in CT. read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant I have ever visited. Friendly, portion size is perfect and the food is next level! I know this sounds weird but even the water is awesome! read more

Food makes up for some of the strange service going on here. Dining in I would imagine it's just like dining in anywhere else that you enjoy eating at. But my experience mainly is coming from doing takeout. My take out experience is not the greatest only due to the fact they will give you a time frame for your food exactly 15 minutes. And they will say that to everybody who does take out back to back on call ins. So they give everyone a flat time to show up but you're really waiting an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Even on their busiest days there will be a line of people waiting for their food but they still don't accurately tell people different times when they order and the amount of food that are ordering so they aren't honest about that. Other than this the food is great and it's worth the wait (most of the time) read more

Excellent service. The food is delicious. The portions are plentiful. The restaurant is always clean. The workers/waitresses are always cheerful and friendly. There is alot of seating and we never feel crowded. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. The portions are a large for the price and the staff is beyond friendly. Currently I believe that they are out on a family excursion, so you have to wait until August to order your take out. Other than that it's absolutely amazing! I think it's great they took time off as well to spend time with their family. The decor is kind of old school 80s 90s feel for a Chinese restaurant but you know what, that just adds to the allure. Kind of remind you of childhood. I haven't been to this place since I was a kid and I was more than happy back and early June to order from here again and the food tasted exactly the same. Brought back so many good memories. read more

The most disgusting Chinese food I've ever had. Rice was burnt and oily, chicken wings dripping grease, the chicken n rice soup was pure oil..... couldn't eat any of it. read more

As far as Chinese food goes, it's the best in Palmer, MA. Huge portions, fresh food, and great luncheon specials! Much better than the others in Palmer. Sit down, not fancy, but good food! If you can go for lunch or take out, it's probably best. It must get crazy busy. Highly recommend! read more

One of our favorites Their wonton soup is amazing Cashew chicken Sweet n sour chicken read more

I ordered the generals chicken which was good although not that spicy and the missus ordered the beef and broccoli which she said was the best she's ever had. Plenty of parking with easy in and easy out. The gentleman running it is nice as could be. Wish we lived closer. read more

One of the best Chinese places in the area. Consistently good, never have been disappointed.

Very good I always enjoy my meal here. I haven't been here over 12 years and am happy to be here once again and enjoy my meal.

Best Chinese restaurant in the Palmer area. I always get beef lomaine and chicken fingers! I use to get boneless spare ribs but they were only fresh once out of 5 times. read more

Gross food in my opinion. Spent $65 and threw it all out. I would never go back what a waste

Janice Conrad 32 points 2 hours ago During Covid Time we decided to take a safe drive to China House in Palmer and try it out! Don't be fooled by the small size! WOW was I surprised!! The restaurant was clean and very Covid aware. We had the most delicious lunch.. great service.. and a long missed Mai Tai! Thank you for reminding us of better times and giving us a wonderful afternoon! Everyone is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Food is definitely made with love. My only negative.?? .....wish there was a bigger bar to eat at.. We will definitely be back ! One of my positive Covid experiences for me and my stomach!! read more

This place is so underrated. I've been to so many Chinese restaurants and never in my life have I had better boneless spare ribs! They're like burned ends and caramelized when they fry them. All of there food is fresh and fried to perfection. A great place to take out if your close by. read more

We usually go to Wen Ming. With one bite of rice I immediately wished we hadn't opted to try China House. The food is almost flavorless, the rice was overcooked. Chicken wings were quite possibly the most bland I have ever had. Never mind the fact that they were nothing like what you expect at an Asian restaurant. The portion size is large but that's about all you're getting. I'd rather pay the same price for less food of better quality any day. Skip it and go to Wen Ming for sure! read more

China House has become the go-to place for Chinese food. The food is always good and consistent. It's a local family owned place and they appreciate the business. I drive a distance to go there, but it's worth it. I love the wonton soup, the egg rolls are my favorites, and the chicken fried rice and beef lo mein are on every order too. Everything is always hot and fresh, so I have no complaints. The best thing is to go there, order, and have a mai tai while you wait for your food; or order after the first mai tai and have a second while the food is being made; the possibilities are endless! read more

Always great food great service mai tais scorpion bowls are excellent best eggrolls in New England. we went there again last night for dinner food was unbelievable service was great we had two cocktails and wonton soup and a very large -mo so Lomain - it was delicious and we both were stuffed and we have enough for lunch today A+++++ read more

Had a family order tonight. Got the governor's pork, two happiness, veggie lo mein, and beef fried rice. All of them came out great! Portions were huge and we were all very happy. This place definitely deserves more than the 3 stars it's averaged on here. read more

This is my entire family's favorite (American) Chinese food, and has been for well over two decades! We've all lived in different states, and even when we find a place that's okay, China House is still the standard by which we judge all others. Some of my recommended items include: wonton soup, pork fried rice, chicken fingers, crab rangoons, purple pork (boneless ribs), orange chicken, and finally their MASSIVE dumplings. I'm not an egg roll girl, but my father is a big fan and these are his favorite. If you wanna try a little bit of everything, I highly recommend trying the Pu Pu Platter, which includes the majority of the items above (don't forget the duck sauce!). Prices are more than appropriate for the quality of the food, and I've never waited more than 20 minutes for an order, even during busy holidays like New Years. The people are always friendly, and sometimes if you order a lot of stuff, they throw in a couple things for free! read more

Portions are huge. If you have a hungry teenager at home I guess you could do worse. Unfortunately the food is low quality. I ordered two lunch specials today. Mountains of fried rice but not much meat. The vegetables were 90% cheap cabbage. My chow mein didn't even come with noodles, isn't that the base of chow mein? This was the second try of China House and neither experience was good. read more

We ordered take out for my birthday dinner. The Crab Rangoons were passable at best. The Moo Shu vegetables and the Vegetable Lo Mein with Tofu had such a bad taste that we won't be returning. read more

I understand that New Year's Eve is one of the busiest days of the year, i get it.. but that's why i called my food in an hour/two hours in advanced... 3:30 pm to be exact.. didn't leave my house until 4:45 pm and it's now 6:17 pm with no food.. my boyfriend asks the women how much longer and she goes in the back, comes back out with pen and paper saying "what did you order again"... my boyfriend tells her and she says "okay, where gunna have to put that in now cause it wasn't put in" all set... bullshit read more

It saddens me to write this review. I used to love their food and would come here weekly after work for take-out. My husband began to notice that his chicken was dry on occasion, a few weeks after that the order was just intolerably bad. The general's chicken in particular must have been several days old. It was tough as nails... so tough, I nearly fractured a tooth on it. Not sure what happened here but this dish used to be awesome and now it is so bad that I could not even feed it to the dog.. On the brighter side I always loved their mixed drinks and the service has always been great. I look forward to the day when they go back to the old way of doing things in the kitchen. read more

Food is average to good but the service is so unbearably awful and rude. Overall for the food it is not worth dealing with the lady in the front. read more

This was my experience, I am staying in Palmer because I am working on the casino they are building in Springfield. I had just worked a 10 hr day and I was starving. I walk into this place and there is a small bar with 4 chairs near the entrance. There are 2 ladies sitting at it having drinks. I sit down and the woman, who I assume was the owner, stares at me and says "what". I say "what" back, in the form of a question, because I can't believe how rude she's being and I'm not sure what she's asking. "What you want" she replies and I say "to look at a menu" to which she says "eat in or take out" all in a very rude tone. I say to eat in and she says "then you can't sit at the bar". wtf? So I leave. If I was starving I wouldn't spend a dime in the establishment. I've never been treated so rudely as a customer! read more

The best in the area. We normally do take out and we've never been disappointed. Portions are huge and we always end up with leftovers for another meal (or two). Very tasty! read more

Helpful staff. Quick service in house. Can get busy for take out, but they give you an accurate estimate of how long it will take. Food is good (not outstanding, but the best I've had in the area). read more

I rarely write bad reviews about anything and after reading others' reviews I almost feel like I was in a different restaurant. When I'm in the area there's another Chinese restaurant I make sure I visit but I was in the opposite area of town, had gone by the China House Restaurant many times, and decided to try it. I was so disappointed! First, its good points. The receptionist was polite and after taking my order she immediately brought the order to the kitchen. Service was prompt; I had my order well within the 15 minutes that was promised. Although it's a little on the expensive side the portions are generous. Now, the not-so-good. My order was pork lo mein and a combo plate of boneless ribs, pork fried rice, and an egg roll. All the food, including the egg roll, was VERY greasy. It literally dripped from the egg roll, left oil on my spoon while rolling the lo mein noodles onto my fork and the plate bottom was also coated in grease as were the pieces of boneless ribs. The boneless rib portion was a little skimpy. Both the fried rice and lo mein had very little ingredients other than rice and noodles. There were just a few very small slivers of pork in the lo mein and a few bean sprouts and slices of onion, but that's it. No carrots, bamboo shoots, or celery like the majority of restaurants have. So, although the portions are large I really paid for sautéed rice and noodle servings. Maybe because of the many positive reviews I'll try them again the next time I'm in town. read more

Usually pretty good food. It is the best chinese place locally unless you want to drive out to Amherst. The staff can take some getting used to but the food is hot and brought out quickly from the kitchen. read more

REALLY GOOD CRAB RANGOONS! egg rolls are amazing too. You get a lot of food when you order for takeout as they usually throw in white or fried rice too. read more
