The food quality remains consistently good, which is why I have continued to visit. The dishes were well-prepared and met expectations based on prior experiences. However, there were a few concerns during the current visit. The waiter who served our table (blue-haired individual) had a noticeable and unpleasant body odor, which detracted from the overall dining experience. Professional presentation and hygiene are important aspects of service, particularly in a restaurant setting. Additionally, in the past, the restaurant played calm, instrumental music reflective of traditional Chinese culture. That atmosphere contributed to a quiet and professional environment suitable for business discussions. During this visit, radio music was played instead, which reduced the ambiance that previously highlighted the establishment as a suitable place for a profesional environment . Overall, everything was well aside from a few inconveniences. read more

As a regular patron of this restaurant, I have typically enjoyed the delightful culinary creations they offer, which have earned them a place in my heart over the years. However, I must regrettably express my disappointment as I have encountered significant issues on multiple occasions regarding my orders being inaccurately filled. Each time I reached out to voice my concerns, I was assured by the manager, reassuringly, that my name would be documented and that my order would be corrected upon my next visit. Yet, upon my return, I was met with outright hostility rather than the promised resolution. The individual I spoke with not only accused me of dishonesty but also escalated the situation to an extent where I was forcibly removed from the premises, despite my efforts to remain courteous and respectful throughout the interaction. Moreover, I faced a challenging language barrier, which compounded the difficulties in communication and understanding. I pride myself on being a forthright and honest customer, and in an effort to clarify the situation, I even provided the name of the staff member with whom I initially spoke. However, rather than taking accountability, I was met with a barrage of excuses, with the staff member blatantly denying any responsibility, despite their prior commitment to rectify the mistake. It is not the financial loss that stings the most; rather, it is the feelings of betrayal and indignation stemming from the deceptive assurances I received and the disrespectful treatment I endured. Additionally, the individual continued to be curt and dismissive, brushing aside my valid concerns as if they were inconsequential. Consequently, I find myself feeling disillusioned and have resolved not to patronize this establishment again in the future! read more

I really wanted to love this place even though it's seen better days. The people were very prompt and friendly, but the food for all four of us was just so so. I'm desperately searching for a Chinese restaurant that doesn't over-Americanize with thick, low-flavor sauce, but this wasn't it. I'll try them again but on a day with lower expectations. read more

Good food every time especially when visitors come from out of time. always good service with polite staff. read more

Food was bland and the soy sauce could not even help. Restaurant looked very dirty and unkept. The waitress was very rude and not helpful. his place is very over priced for under average food. They burnt me once, but never again. Do not waste your money in here. You will regret it. read more

Disappointed. Got General Tso's and pot stickers as take out. Pot stickers were good, but the chicken was so drowned in sauce the batters was soggy and on top of that the chicken was dry and chewy read more

Szechuan Dining Our Tennis Club offers A/C courts, but it is still hot. A pop-up summer rain forces us to suspend play as several men scurry to raise the tops on their Vettes. Puts us in the mood for Szechuan Dining. North China Restaurant is a few minutes west, and is doing a great lunch business. We always begin with hot tea and Hot and Sour soup. The Szechuan Shrimp with rice is just ok, as is the service. North China Restaurant is nicely decorated, and is nicely air conditioned. We recommend for a very average Chinese meal. read more

Maybe don't put up open on Christmas signs everywhere, and then when my whole family comes in on Christmas like we've done before, you say you're closed and only doing delivery. It was a 1.5-2 hour wait for that. You're not open, and we probably won't be back. read more

My Airforce LT daughter and I went there Saturday night at 8pm. Absolutely deserted. Really cool looking old school Chinese style place, but absolutely empty. We ordered to go and in a couple of minutes got our food. Obviously ready-made, buffet style. I got Kung pao beef, and she got some kind of simple chicken and snap peas. They gave us a ton of food! I imagine they have to throw out a lot having no customers. It was just okay. My daughter got mild diarrhea that night. And that's about it. read more

I ordered carry out. The gentleman on the phone was very pleasant. Ordered the chicken fried rice, chicken egg drop soup, Spring rolls, General Toas chicken and the crispy shrimp. Total came to $71.00. Ouch. Food was ready when I went to pick it up. Everything was good but I didn't care for the soup. They put carrots in it and all you could taste was carrots. Fried rice was good but didn't care for the chicken cubes they used. All in all it wasn't bad but I will change my order next time if I get carry out again. read more

I ordered carry out from North china restaurant a few weeks ago on Friday night. North China has been in business for years on Far Hills in Centerville next to the library. We were having a craving for Chinese on a Friday night and haven't had it in a while my Mom had sweet and sour chicken. You can see what a huge portion it is there's definitely enough for 2 to 3 people to eat definitely had leftovers. I went with Hunan beef which was okay, when I got the order home it seemed like it was just broccoli and beef no other veggies. Hunan dishes normally has lots of vegetables and is spicy. It was nothing special. The food was ready in 15 minutes and pickup was quick. read more

My supposedly HOT garlic chicken was very sweet. My hot and sour soup was not HOT. This was a very disappointing meal. I won't order again.

I'm nuts about this place. The decor, the menu, the stellar service all harken back to times when Chinese food was exotic and special. I leave here feeling pampered and relaxed...what a nice experience. In an era where everything is prepackaged and rushed this is worth a visit. The chicken cashew is the best I've ever had. read more

Cute little restaurant! I always get the general tsoa's chicken. Service is fast and friendly.

So-so food with a surprise tip of 18% added at the end. Obviously to make extra money for the family waiter who gives horrible service. Avoid this place if you can! read more

Was told that the jiam pong was really good here so I decided to give it a try. As soon as I was seated, they brought me complimentary hot tea, water, and fried wonton chips with sweet and sour sauce. The seafood jiam pong was presented in a giant bowl. They also gave me a complimentary side of kimchee for my dish. Their jiam pong broth was piping hot and slightly spicy. The seafood in it didn't have much variety (just shrimp and baby scallops). They give you a ton of noodles because regardless of how much I ate, there was still over half a bowl of noodles left. It was like an endless bowl of noodles, but I'm not complaining. Had to pack my leftovers and it completely filled the takeout container. The service here was really good. They helped me pack my leftovers (they offered to separate the soup from the noodles for me so it stays fresh longer) and they made sure my water was always filled to the brim. If you come here, you have to try their jiam pong. It's large enough to share/make into two meals. read more

I don't order much from here. The egg rolls are too small for the price. What I usually get is the Mei fun. It's always very good. The service is quick and polite as ppl want to be. It's an older restaurant and could use a face lift, however not to shabby read more

Unfortunately North China has in my opinion gone downhill since George stepped away from daily operations of the restaurant. Last time I was there was not impressed with the food quality as it was not as good as it once was . Don't waste your time as there are other better choices not far from there read more

Solid jajangmyun for the middle of Ohio! I was on a short trip to Dayton from Columbus and got on Yelp to scope out the lunch scene. I would have LOVED to try the jamppong - but in the middle of a pandemic, I'm just not going out to eat in a restaurant. So I got jajangmyun to go and ate it in my car. You just can't do jjamppong in a car - kudos to you if you can, but I can't imagine! It was savory and delicious - the last time I got jajangmyun was at an unnamed restaurant in Columbus. It had these huge chunks of onion and potato and not much else. The sauce here is excellent and I'd come back again. read more

I did a little exploring around Dayton a few weeks ago... I'll start off by echoing what Brian C. said about some of the best service you'll see at a Chinese restaurant. The service here is smooth as silk. The staff here works the dining room like a great team should. The younger Mexican server and the middle aged Asian man made sure there was no lag time between appetizers, soup and the entree. The server started off by dropping off a bowl of those complimentary crispy wontons and some sweet and sour sauce for me to munch on. Before I knew it I had a cup of thick Hot and Sour Soup in front of me. It's has a great rich smokey flavor and it's got plenty of the good stuff in it....not just broth. The lunch combo by the way comes with a chicken wing, a crab rangoon and the soup. I give him additional props because when I ordered the Schezuan Shrimp, he informed me that theirs was breaded shrimp in a sauce with no vegetables. That's definitely not what I wanted so I explained what I was looking for. He recommended the Spicy Shrimp with Vegetables which was actually quite good. It came out scalding hot just like it should. This is a classic, slightly kitschy, old school Chinese American restaurant. If you've got a craving for some of that familiar Chinese comfort food that we love, then this is the place for you. read more

North China is a 5 star for me. My food was delivered hot and ready for devouring . I admire rice, their rice was firm and well seasoned decked with finely sliced veggies for nutritional value. Thank you. Also, the customer service was respectful and friendly. Have a blessed day. read more

North China - 91. Vegetable Fried Rice & 9.Spring roll - Chinese Near Me - Washington Township, Ohio

Carryout tonight was not even edible. Everything seemed old. Chicken was stringy. The eggroll was like it had been fried at lunch and set aside all day. Could not tell which chicken was schezuan and which was orange? I couldn't and wouldn't eat more than a bite of each thing and the last thing I tried I had to spit out. read more

We came here on a recommendation of my old man's co worker. Yelp seemed to support with positive reviews and high ratings. I honestly have to say I was disappointed, and this was nothing terribly different from other Chinese take out kind of place. Maybe they have a real chinese menu that I could have unlocked for a better culinary experience, but based on my experience tonite.... dull. The hot and sour? Dull... lacking any strong flavors or spiciness. Nothing to brag about, but not the worst. The Yu seng pork I had .. was ok. Actually expected something spicy based on the menu spicy indicator. It was an ok dish, but i personally feel it was actually too sweet for me. My old man had crispy shrimp... and even too sweet for my old man. He did say it was still ok. Overall.... probably wont be back. Choose China Cottage if you want a chance of finding something yummy and a little more savory. Side note : not sure where the korean food pics came from... there isnt any there! read more

Good. Not great but good. Review based on a lunch special. Good value for the amount of food, though I really could have done without both the chicken wing and crab triangle (a Rangoon, and I don't do cheese... really why is there even cheese served in any Chinese restaurant, yet I digress). I found the King Pao chicken (they call Princess Chicken) is pretty oily. I did like how fine the celery is chopped. No scallions (at very few?) or bell peppers (like some places use) in their version. I ordered it spicy, so that made the fact that I couldn't detect Sichuan peppercorn all the more disappointing, though there were plenty of chilis. The hot and sour soup was not the best I've ever had, but it was definitely solid... probably the best part of my lunch. read more

The best Chinese in Dayton. China Cottage for some reason gets all the hype and fanfare but food and service wise it's not even close. Trust me, drive a lil farther down and come here instead. If you dine in you get hot tea and won tons which are both really good. There's both a Chinese AND Korean menu, and my mom vouches for the korean menu. She loved her food here. You also get a nice side of Kimchi. Service fantastic. Also I recommend if your meal doesn't come with one of their wings, to order some. The wings here are awesome and remind me of Bonchon wings which are the best in the country. Decors nice and has a classic Chinese restaurant feel. Cozy and seats a lot of ppl. Every time I've been here it's been pretty busy also. Highly recommend! read more

Outstanding food and service! This is one of my favs! They're lightning fast on carry out! Very well known and liked by us locals! This restaurant particularly carries items that others do not. Ie: Egg Foo Young. read more

The vegetable lo mein was good, however, the chicken in another dish was just awful. The consistency was like bubble gum. Cheap meat is my guess. Gross! Go Vegetarian and you'll probably be fine. The hot and sour soup was also nasty but the egg drop was a little better. Gross picture of gross chicken. Do not order that! read more

Phenomenal delivery experience from this spot! After trying several, this must be my favorite Chinese takeout we've found in the area. We ordered potstickers and crab angles, pork fried rice, beef & broccoli, and chicken chow mein. All of it was delicious! Food arrived hot, delivery went smoothly, and we had plenty for leftovers. Fair prices and huge portions - my favorite part of Chinese takeout! Will definitely be ordering again. read more

This used to be my 2nd favorite restaurant in Dayton. New ownership over the past 2 years now buys in frozen steamed dumplings and pot stickers instead of the old handmade ones. They also tweaked the recipe for the eggrolls and they are now smaller. These egg rolls used to be the best in Dayton. Most all other dishes are the same, it is heartbreaking that they would change these favorite menu items that they had served since 1987. read more

Tasty menu. Fresh ingredients. Friendly pricing. Great ambiance. An easy place to dine. Recommended!

If I ever had any inspiration to go to Mongolia, it would be from the chicken I ate here. I grew up in Dayton, so ive eaten my fair share of dishes from North China, and its always a great experience. This is one of the only restaurants that I crave when I am back in town for a visit. One of the first things I must mention is the phenomenal service when you dine in or carry out. They are always ready to seat you, and you will never find your drink empty. You will never be wondering where the waiter is or how long your food will be. Super friendly folks who know how to run a family business. Great old school Chinese decor, and warm family feel to the restaurant which I love. The lunch special is a great deal. Every combo comes with a cup of soup (hot and sour, egg drop, or wanton) a crab angle/Rangoon, and a chicken wing. They also bring you a pot of hot tea to your table along with some crispy wontons to snack on. I am a huge fan of the Mongolian chicken as well as the mongolian beef. The honey-esque glaze on the chicken mixed with the onions and spices served with a side of fried rice is perfect. So delicious, and would definitely recommend. My full lunch combo, with all the soup and crab rangoon and chicken wing, came to a whopping $7.45. How could that be any flippin better? If youre ever in the area, I would recommend this spot for sure for sure. read more

Food was not fit to eat. Over cooked, stringy, burnt oil. When I complained I was told I ordered the food & I would have to pay for it. No discussion. No apology. No offer to replace. Never again will I or anyone I know set foot in that excuse for a restaurant. Don't bother with this restaurant. read more

Mongolian is awesome here one of my favorite dishes. I have tried both the chicken and the beef. You can't go wrong with either.

I'm new to the area so this is the first Chinese restaurant I've patronized thus far. For dinner, the parking lot was packed -- a good sign. The hostess was very attentive and seated me right away. The entire staff is very efficient and pleasant, a plus to any dining establishment. I can tell that there are a lot of repeat customers -- many were chatting with the hostess on entering and leaving the place. Another good sign. I ordered the Hunan beef and it came quickly. I wish I could report it was a great dish but the truth is there was not even a hint of spice/heat to it, even though that little spice symbol was right there beside it on the menu and it was evident there were chili peppers in my dish. Let's say it was a nice beef and brocoli dish, nice enough that I took leftovers home and finished off for another meal. But, let's not call it a Chinese dish of Hunan beef. I will be back to try another dish and update my review at that time. Obviously, from the crowd that was there, people like this place. The best part? The price was ultra-reasonable, especially for dinner. With the dish, a soda, and tip the bill was under $15. read more

Picked up North China last night during the Christmas Rush. The portions were massive and we had plenty of food leftovers. Why 1 star? I was sick all night and it was 100% the orange chicken. The other person did not get sick which leads me to believe they used expired products for the dish. I wanted to like this place but I am still ill from the food. I get they were extremely busy but a flaw such as that can be devastating. Food poisoning is no joke read more

The menu I found online after doing a google search is apparently old and I had no way of knowing it was outdated when I placed the order over the phone. The price I was charged Was close to 30% more. The excuse was the that old owner George won't give the new owner the password to make changes to the posted menu. That's a lazy excuse. Food was just ok and overpriced. read more

Great dining atmosphere and great staff. If you're in Centerville this is the spot for Chinese food!
