Enter China Delights. This was our first time here and while it wasn't my beloved whole rock cod, their fried whole flounder with a soy based sauce was good enough to stand in its place. The fish was fried crispy enough that you could eat the fins while the flesh remained tender and moist. The sauce wasn't too bad either. I enjoyed that fish so much that I probably could have eaten the entire thing by myself without an ounce of shame. And then our waitress gave me the information I needed to hear: if I want whole rock cod, call the day before to let them know we're coming and they'll have it ready. HUGE WIN! You don't have to tell me twice. Another thing I was happy to see was a variety of mu shu options on the menu. We went with the pork and were not disappointed. And bc my husband had his own craving that needed to be handled, we ordered the half roasted duck. And that wasn't too bad either. The staff tonight were warm and attentive. Not once did we feel unattended to, but we also never felt rushed. Sometimes that balance gets lost and they did it well tonight. So is it possible that we may have stumbled onto the promise of a new family go to spot? Possibly. They've apparently been open for over 20 years already, and I hope they stay open for another 20 bc finding an old-school Chinese restaurant that still serves some of these classic dishes is getting harder and harder. Now I just need to remember to call the day before bc that whole rock cod and I have some unfinished business.

I love that the restaurant is spacious and that there's an essence of coziness to the space. The service here is decent -- there have been multiple times where my party has had to ask for things because food or drinks were coming out too slow or were forgotten. There's definitely room for improvement in that arena. Food is delicious here, and I particularly love the sweet and sour pork! House fried rice and beef broccoli here is also amazing. Although I've had better honey walnut prawns, the ones here are still good (just pricey considering I prefer other places over it). Portion sizes are huge, even for sharing among 3-4 people. I recommend eating here with a fairly large group - you get your best deal when sharing the cost (and eating) together.

So I ordered the Hung Tao Yee Won Ton Soup, and also "Salt 'n Pepper Prawns" as listed under House Specialties on their menu. For $15.95, it's a huge bowl of soup. It could be enough for 2-3 people. Hung Tao Yee Won Ton Soup is fried won ton in thicken egg drop soup. I added pepper and a splash of soy sauce, and it was perfect. Grade (4/5). However, the Salt 'n Pepper Prawns were not perfect. They were served deep fried, with jalapeño pepper slices. I asked for "in-shell." So they were deep fried with the shell still on. That usually means they'll have more flavor. These prawns were mushy and had a slightly fishy aftertaste. This suggests that they were frozen and not fresh. China House didn't season them enough to mask the off-taste. Other restaurants add a coarse salt and maybe a dipping sauce. The batter coating tasted fine, but the prawn itself wasn't good. Grade (2/5). Service was prompt and attentive.

I wish there was a way to give this place negative stars. After stopping by to get food with my husband and 4 small children, we bought 3 plates and waters to sit and eat in ( the place is nasty as hell, but we had no option) I ask the rude worker for a cup and she said it would cost me extra. Extra for a cup for patrons that are dining in? Hell no. This place sucks. The servers are pieces of crap and rude as hell. Do not EAT AT THIS PLACE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A PIECE A SANITY WHEN YOU LEAVE HERE. IN FACT, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE READING THIS TO BOYCOTT THIS PLACE FOR THE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER PRACTICES THEY HAVE MADE UP. I should not have to pay for a cup to drink my water in a restaurant and neither should you. This restaurant ( if I should call it that) is hell. read more

I like what the person just said "they fill it up to the roof of your Styrofoam", definitely the best food in town. They do catering services with some of my favorites are Shrimp Fried Rice and Salt'n Pepper Fried Shrimp (some might be scared of the entire Shrimp but its my favorite because its crunchy and juicy when its hot) and they will fill it up to the roof of the big plate that feeds 20-30 people. read more

Sadly their service is horrible. - They kinda yell at you when they ask what you'd like and when you do, sometimes they don't even listen because they are too busy having loud conversations amongst each other in Chinese - They are rude to customers too - And today I found HAIR in my food!!!

Their menu is huge, so there's definitely something for everyone. Honestly, everything I've tried has been tasty, which is why I stick to my favorites. I love supporting neighborhood spots like this, and I'll keep coming back whenever I'm craving Chinese.

Two members of staff were constantly fast-walking or running around trying to take care of all the guests. There was also another staff member who appeared to work pretty efficiently without running. Our two friends that we were dining with are regulars here and had their favorite menu items memorized. I did not take any pictures of their food or ask them to rate it. They were very quick in decided what they wanted while we dawdled. In addition to our lunch plates, we were served Chicken Corn Soup first. Because we're greedy, we also ordered Ho Toa Tee Fuo Wonton Soup for the table. This is a deep-fried wonton in soup. The deep-frying changes the texture and flavor of the wonton in the most wonderful way. Everything came out relatively quickly and as expected. My Fish Fillet in Curry Sauce is not on the menu but still came out pretty good. I would have liked a little more sauce and some more heat, but I would order it again. The only thing I would suggest that they change is the rice that they serve. Not all long-grain rices' are of the same quality and some are simply more tender and absorbent of sauces which would raise the dining experience.
