Stopped in for a dinner here this evening. Food menu had a wide variety of many different items…read morefrom burgers, pasta, pizza and seafood. Was not sure what to prefer but definitely wanted to try a martini! Had the watermelon martini and it did not disappoint! Had a salad for dinner and hub had the Ruben. Michelle our server was very good and gave suggestions for the menu. They are open on Monday nights! The ambiance is ok with a bar over 21 with high tops and a family dining area with tables and booths. Food was good and it was pleasantly quiet, but was a Monday evening. We'll come back to try other items on the menu.

SERVICE- My mom wanted to sit at a table but they made us sit at the bar. Yet it still took at…read moreleast 5 minutes before we got our drinks. We had to occasionally wait to ask for items such as plates for the appetizers. DRINKS- Old, sour, flat beer. Maybe the keg lines need to get cleaned out? Maybe the beer is just old? I don't know what it is but it just didn't taste right on tap or even in the can. Had a pungent with no carbonation taste to it. At least my mom liked her red wine. FOOD- Overall just alright and average. Seems to be a hit or miss. Calamari- Rubbery and hard to chew. I think it was over cooked Oysters Rockefeller- Tasted like a puke ball. There was only 5 of them. I couldn't even taste the Oysters as it was overwhelmed by other flavors. Tasted like buttery breadcrumbs. Chicken Noodle soup- Was told it is the "best" in Porter County. I got a cup. It was good but only half way filled. I think it needed more chicken. Chicken Parmesan- Sauce could have been better. Pasta was good Sausage and Mushroom Pizza- Thick raw crust on the bottom! Doughy and frozen pizza quality. The pizza looked good on the top but the crust on the bottom tasted raw and mushy. My brother said it was worse the a veggie lasagna from Gordon Food Service which we never even finished eating all of it. PRICE- Over priced for a "fancy" higher class restaurant. The bill was $95 for 2 appetizers, 2 entries and 4 beers and 2 glass of wine. How can this be a scratch kitchen with such a wide and diversified menu?

I have concluded that China House isn't that great. I noticed they substantially increased my bill…read morewhen I asked for onions, which suggests pricing issues or inconsistent charges. Additionally, the food lacks authenticity, neither in traditional taste nor in quality, especially when compared to the top Chinese restaurants I've experienced in China. If their business model in Chicago involves serving inauthentic cuisine, they are failing to honor the essence of the food. I suspect the owners may not even enjoy the cuisine themselves, despite being Chinese; their disconnect from authentic culinary standards is evident. As someone who has lived and worked in China and closely associated with connoisseurs of original yeast, I can easily identify the deviations from genuine flavors and quality.

I've always enjoyed their food in the past, but this experience was very different. I ordered my steak medium rare, but it arrived closer to medium well. It was tough, lukewarm, and honestly tasted like it came from a much older cut of meat. I also had to send my baked potato back because it was barely warm, and the replacement wasn't much better. Overall, the quality of the meal has clearly declined, yet the prices have gone up. Unfortunately, there's a much better steakhouse just down the block to the east--one that even serves great dinner rolls.
