Amazing food with generous servings. Egg Rolls are the best. Beef Subgum is wonderful, and they deliver! read more

Went back recently and had a very different experience. The food was very good. The portions were large enough for me to make 2 meals out of them. The price was great for prices these days. The service was good. Plenty of seats and booths too. Looking forward to going back. read more

I have concluded that China House isn't that great. I noticed they substantially increased my bill when 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. read more

Visited here for dinner on a Friday night for party of 6. We were seated right away and the service was friendly. We ordered appetizers and entrees. Everything was very fresh and served hot, and the entree portions were huge. This is a change of pace from other restaurants in downtown valpo, but it is always consistent! read more

I got the Sesame Chicken lunch special to go. The chicken was really good. Wasn't a fan of the fried rice or the egg roll. Can't really rate the inside service but they were friendly when I picked up my order. Will definitely try again soon. read more

Both times I have been here were for dinner time and dine in. The experience was fabulous! You get a pot of fresh tea and ice cold water served right away. Service was extremely fast and friendly. We have tried the crab rangoons, egg rolls, egg drop soup, Mongolian beef, and orange chicken so far and everything was hot and delicious! Really great quality food overall. read more

Our local Chinese restaurant's owners retired and closed a few years ago. Since then my wife and I have tried a number of "local" Chinese restaurants with very mixed results. We heard about The China House in Valparaiso and thought we would give it a try. The short story is, we have found our Chinese restaurant. Very easy to find, it is a block East of the Courthouse in downtown Valparaiso. It has an extensive menu but we had reviewed it and were pretty sure what we would order. We did find a couple of starters that we tried. First was the common egg roll. They were quite good. The wrap was much thiner than most and the filling was excellent. My wife likes crab rangoon. I am not a particular fan but there were four of them and although I am still not a fan they were good but I checked with the expert and she said they were very good. I like Hot and Sour Soup but I was not in the mood for soup as dinner tonight but they did have a small cup as a starter so I thought I would give it a try. Was it the best I have ever had in my life? Probably not, but it was probably second or third. Great base and full of meat and vegetables. However, what we really were in the mood for was the mains. My wife has wanted some Moo Shu for sometime and I wanted the walnut shrimp. They serve a rather large plate of Moo Shu with about 5 wraps. It was very favorable and due to the size there was take home. We were introduced to walnut shrimp a number of years ago at Dave Wong's restaurant in Stockton, California. Whenever I had business in Stockton I would make it to Dave's, especially if my wife was on the trip with me. The China House's is every bit as good. Again the portion is more than adequate. Price wise, the entire meal for the two of us, including gratuity was about $55.00. To sum it up, if you are in the mood for excellent Chinese food in Northwest Indiana, try The China House in Valparaiso. read more

Received wrong take out order. No big deal but fortune cookies were stale. Friendly staff. 1st time here. No plan to return. read more

Ambience: This is a smaller family Chinese decorated dining room. They have about 11 rooms booths that could seat 4. They also have 4 round tables that can fit six. It was fairly clean throughout. Service: They appeared to be short-handed as there were only 2 people to wait on their customers and to take their money. Consequently, it took 7-10 minutes to get seated in spite of the fact the dining room was less than half full. But you could see they were trying their best to get tables cleaned and people seated. We eventually were seated. It took about 2 minutes to get our menus and from that point on they seemed to get everything out pretty quickly. Before we left, 2 additional helpers arrived. So they get a pass from me. Food: The food was very tasty. From the egg drop soup, egg rolls, cashew chicken and chicken lo mein, all was fresh and delicious. Tea is complimentary which was nice. Lunch specials are around $9 so a pretty good value for the amount of food you receive. read more

Fiancé ordered takeout (11-25-23) since she had a good experience here before. We ordered pickup for 4 meals. I was the only one who ordered chop suey and chicken. Something was off about the flavor and I only had two pieces of the chicken. So I just ate the vegetables. Honestly it looked grey and I should've never ate it. Totally undercooked, spoiled meat or a very dirty kitchen. I got very sick around 1 am. Diarrhea and vomiting non stop from 1 am until 8 am. Took pepto and that did nothing. Took Zofran and thankfully that worked. Thats probably the worst food poisoning I ever had. Honestly I should call the health dept so it doesn't happen to anyone else. What a horrible experience. read more

Ordered delivery for dinner. Food was piping hot and delicious. Delivery was fast. China House is now my favorite place!

Best place in for delivery in Valparaiso. Food is very good especially the Egg Foo Young. Serving is generous

The ambiance is the typical authentic Chinese restaurant. The service was excellent and the staff are very friendly and kind. The food is fantastic. We were very surprised how fresh and light the food is. This has become our number one Chinese restaurant now. Please give it a try. We are glad we did. read more

We love this place, coming here for more than 40 years. Great food, fast service, and a great value. Love the staff. Lots of families eat there. read more

Everything was simply amazing I'll definitely be coming back here from now on after having a few bad experiences with other restaurants in the area. This will be my goto place for my sweet and sour chicken thanks for the amazing food service and friendliness. I'll definitely be dining in next time I go they have a very nice authentic decorated restaurant. read more

The shrimp egg foo young and fried rice were bland, had too much gravy and didn't have much flavor.

We usually do lunch specials you can't beat the price. Large portions, fast service, and enjoy the leftovers too! read more

Once again, China House knocks it out of the park. Fresh, delicious, generous portions that are still the best value in Porter County. And the young man who served us this evening deserves praise. He didn't miss a beat. My daughter loves sugar in her tea. He noticed and replenished our sugar without the need to ask. And what restaurant in the area clears the table, boxes the leftovers, and double bags them? China House. I will continue to rave about this place. Please go. You won't be disappointed. read more

I came in after a 10 hour shift and was very polite and spent $100 on me and my girl. I was told it would be 15 minutes and ended up waiting an hour and 10 minutes because they kept giving my food away to customers who were walking through the door after me & being sat down only after making a scene did I get my food. Over priced with bad staff. Update: I got food poisoning and missed work the next day. Definitely avoiding this place . read more

Lunch portions are huge. Great selections to choose from. Great service on delivery. Orange chicken wasn't too spicy which is good

tl;dr: Surprisingly good considering the tacky and cheap Asian takeout feel of the place. I came here with my born in China, broken-English-speaking Chinese parents. When we stepped in and saw that everyone inside (except for one server) was white, we began to worry that we had made a big mistake. Nevertheless, we stayed and ordered the Teriyaki Beef Tenderloin on Sizzling Plate, Sizzling Seafood Delicacies, and the BBQ Pork with Garlic Sauce. The food was slow to come. I saw another group get their food before us even though we had already ordered by the time they got seated. However, it was worth the wait. The two sizzling plate dishes were in my opinion the star of the show. The beef was tender and the variety in the seafood dish was excellent (small scallops, shrimp, mushrooms, imitation crab, etc.). Overall, we left the restaurant pleasantly surprised and very impressed. read more

We always do takeout. Food is great and we've always had great service. We have tried others in the area and have not found a better one in this area. read more

The fried rice wasn't even close to fried. More like warm porridge mixed with baby worms. Their vegetable egg rolls are not egg rolls at all. They are actually Thai spring rolls. We ordered a crab Rangoon but they forgot to put it in the bag. College town Chinese food. Order at your own risk read more

Amazing lunch specials and they come with pretty hefty portions too! Very good Americanized Chinese food so come here if you're looking for that. I'd pass on the duck but everything else I've tried here is good! read more

The China House in Valparaiso is delicious!! We went there to eat before going to the movies. We had a big group about 12 of us. The food was hot and we got a lot of it. Some of us needed take home containers. The service was fast and good. The table next to us got a sizzling steak. I should have asked what it was because I want to order it the next time I go back. I have a date with my husband to go back to the China House, I simply LOVED it. read more

This is our go to Chinese restaurant in Valparaiso. It's not as great as the spots in NYC, Chicago, and SF Chinatowns but still pretty good. You cannot go wrong with the Chicken and Corn soup, Mongolian Beef, Pan Fried noodles or Lo Mein. read more

Love the lunch specials here. A cheap but great meal. Love the fired rice and egg rolls

Never opened dining room after Covid hit. Food is the same, except they give you less food (cut out free egg rolls on lunch) and you have a four by four area to pick up your food, in case you weren't already sick. This place was once wonderful. Now, none of us want to go back. Glad they didn't close down like many restaurants, but wish they would have kept up their quality. read more

This place has gone down hill. I realize that times are tough right now but that doesn't mean you get to put out bad food and go ‍. If you can't handle delivering food to people while the food is at the very least warm....don't offer it. If you can't handle making the food properly ..offer a smaller menu. We have been incredibly open minded but the last couple of times we have ordered it has just been plain bad. Tonight was the last attempt... the food we got was cold , bland, and once again just bad. We are gonna have to look at other places for awhile and hope they get it together. read more

Anyone complaining should go south for the winter as I do. When I get back China House is my first stop for great Americanized Chinese. Great egg rolls. Good fried rice. Our go tos are tomato pepper beef, chicken w garlic sauce, bbq pork kow, chicken egg foo young. read more

Never got order. Very disorganized. Did not refund my order either. Orders two hours ahead of time never got order.

we tried china house as our regular chinese place was closed. we got take out and everything was delish! their crab rangoons are the best in valpo-super creamy and good crunch. good sized portions, perfect for sharing. i'm actually glad the other place was closed! read more

good jumbo shrimp, good noodles, dont get the extra spicy sizzle triple delight if you want to breathe, it is very good though

Good portions, price, and quality. We spent $35 and had enough food to make 3 meals each. The Lo Mein was great as well as the General Tso's chicken. The egg rolls were cooked well, but were not the best that I have ever had. My wife had the Egg Foo Young which she absolutely loved. The fried rice was great as well; however, the steamed rice wasn't the best that I have ever had. The pot stickers were large and had a great flavor. We will be returning due to the value that we received. read more

Excellent Chinese food - not your standard take-out fare. Sit down & get ready to enjoy a wonderful family-style meal! read more

First when you walk in place looks very dirty. After I was seated we waiting 15-20 min and no waiter or waitress came to even get our drinks for us, worst part was they had ONE family in there eating and still couldn't serve us. So another couple walks in and within minutes they are greeted with drinks and soup. WOW. After that I walked out and realize I left my wallet there. After I get it a lady asks why we were leaving and I explained to her the situation and she told me people usually wave us down and that the other couple were regulars so they were helped first!! NEVER COMING BACK. read more
