For me, China House is it. Placed a take out order - was told it'd be ready in 5-10 minutes. Price was right. Everything was cooked well. It's a somewhat regular spot for me, particularly when I don't know what to have or I'm striking out on coming up with a dinner plan. If you're debating giving this spot a shot, you absolutely should.

I can't speak to the ambiance but I've passed by a few times before and it looks like a cute place. I think it just ended up being a bit cold but that's to be expected during lunch time delivery. I like that lunch comes with either a spring roll and a soup or two spring rolls. They were perfectly fried! Definitely would order again even though it's not my favorite Thai in town. I do appreciate how the pad Thai wasn't super oily and greasy. It doesn't feel unhealthy chowing it down.

When we visit our daughter, Noodlehead is a must-visit spot…read more On 5 prior occasions it's been great. This time, at lunch, they were off their game. Service was efficient but brusque/distracted. My noodles were dry and bland, and quantity was about 70 percent of normal. The other 5 at the table also felt their food was just alright. I'm please they take cards now: the cash-only model was suboptimal. And, the bring-your-own drinks approach is excellent. Overall, I'm a fan and will go back. But, this visit was just three stars.

The drinks were a little underwhelming, the cocktails were okay, but the Chinese liquors were really nice to sip on while eating and had interesting flavors! The food was also quite solid- would recommend the Singapore style noodles which had good flavor and a fairly large portion size as well. Taro dumplings were also a standout, but everything else was fairly good. Overall I don't think it's a must try, but if you want a solid spot for dimsum and Chinese food with a really nice vibe, would recommend!

Nothing bad, but nothing great either…read more We had a reservation for Saturday evening and arrived a little early, but they were still able to seat us right away. We opted to sit outside because the dining room was incredibly loud. Service was good, and our waitress was attentive, especially considering how busy they were. We ordered an appetizer special and a lobster noodle entrée to share between two people. Unfortunately, the food was probably the most disappointing part of the experience. Nothing was necessarily bad, but everything seemed to be lacking flavor. The ginger sauce on the entrée had actual chunks of ginger in it, but somehow didn't taste like the ginger had really infused into the sauce. It just felt flat. The lobster was fried in the shell, which made it difficult to share, and it was also overcooked. Our appetizer actually came out after the entrée and had a similar issue. The chili sauce was fine, but it didn't have much of the heat or depth of flavor we were expecting. Prices seemed pretty average for this type of restaurant in the area, and the service was certainly solid. Ultimately, though, the food just wasn't memorable enough for us to recommend it or make us want to return.

The inside is fairly large with a good amount of tables. We ordered a few apps to share and everything came out quickly. The smashed cucumber salad is HUGE and delicious with a lot of good flavor. The wings were crispy and the chicken satay was really flavorful. We loved the flaky egg tarts and the scallion pancakes. The chicken fried rice had a touch of sweetness to it which was unexpected but we liked it!

It's worth the wait.

Everything is just so fresh and delicious, service is always kind and knowledgeable, and the interior and patio are both beautiful seating options.
