Orange chicken was over cooked and very dry.No spice, no vegetables or side of rice.Dumplings were tasty. But the chicken and another noodle dish were really awful- I actually threw them out. I’m surprised at the quality of each item after reading the positive reviews. I like both authentic and “American” Chinese food…but this food was cooked and seasoned very poorly. I’d suggest looking elsewhere for Chinese food.
Good lunch food. Nice cozy restaurant.
Good Chinese food...owners are Chinese. Beautifully decorated in typical Oriental décor. Good service and good food. Wait staff very attentive. We always end up with food to take home! Medium-sized restaurant and they seem to do a lot of business with take-out meals. Ive never tried that. Restaurant is usually busy, especially on weekends. You might have to wait a bit. Highly recommended.
I’m from Detroit, was hoping with the high reviews that this spot would be solid. Unfortunately not. The fried rice was even fried. There was little to none, chicken in my chicken fried rice and the sweet and sour chicken was hard with every bite. After throwing it in the skillet at home and doctoring it up, I began to like it.
Didnt care for the Kung Pao chicken at all. It wasnt spicy - it actually had a hint of sweetness and the sauce was horrible. The peanuts werent cooked completely, the chicken was dried out, and green onions were overcooked. Other than that, the Chow Mein was good; as were the egg rolls, albeit a little greasy. The steamed white rice was perfection. Chop sticks would have been nice...I will probably give this place another chance. Ill just steer clear of any Kung Pao dish.
The people working at the restaurant were very nice. But I personally didnt much like the food. Im not sure I would go out of the way to go back to the restaurant.
Fast service, not roo expensivehuge servings - enough to share or make two or three meals, and so delicious! I had Lemon Chicken. My favorite Chinese dish and this has to be the best Ive had yet! Try them, you wont be disappointed.
Chinese restaurant. There are delicious fried rice, fried noodles, Tsos chicken.
I decided to go to this Chinese restaurant for Special Fried Rice and Sesame Chicken. A local told me that this was the best place in town and that they had been here for a while, well I think it’s time for them to Close Shop.There was NOTHING Special about the rice and the Sesame Chicken had no favor for $9.75, did I mentioned that it did not come with any rice, NOTHING! Upon my arrival the lady who took our order was nice, while the food was being prepared we decided to take a walk and look around. When we returned to pick up our food she said, “ I was looking for you”, it’s not like I wasn’t coming back. I asked for soy sauce and duck sauce it was like the nice lady disappeared, she threw 3 soy sauces in my box and said we have no duck sauce. On top of that she rushed me and my family out of the restaurant. I do not recommend this place!
Always a great time with great food.
Friendly staff and large portions. The sesame beef was perhaps a bit too crisp but the sweet and sour chicken was nice without being too sweet or goopy. Their hot and sour soup was yummy and served as a meal unto itself.
Great Chinese food, and honestly, the staff bend over backwards to give EXCELLENT customer service! They fully accommodate our vegan dietary requirements. Great Chinese food, clean & tidy, and the food is served hot and fresh. We feel WELCOME as soon as we walk in the door.
The best Chinese food I have had in years, maybe best ever. The left overs were even better the next day, which is unheard of. I live in Roseville and I will be going back to this place for sure.
Ive been coming here with my family for years. The food is a treat. There is always something interesting in the decor that you didnt see last time. The waitresses are always friendly and accommodating. Its usually not too busy.
The chicken was re-heated, tough and not edible.
Food was tasty moo shu pork, potstickers, house fried rice, chow mein all excellent! Orange chicken however was dry and tasted too much like orange peel didnt even eat it.. but overall Ill come back.
Good 👍 lunch special, we have to check out the dinner menu, very nice place.
A traditional Chinese Restaurant in downtown Vacaville really provides a historical reminder to how important Chinese influences on California cuisine have been. With a large menu including vegetarian entrees to traditional Chinese served plates the fast and friendly service with the Traditional China House decor provides a great atmosphere for family and friend gatherings.
Amazing food! Definitely recommend. Best Chinese restaurant we’ve stopped at in years.
Great service, good portions for family. Served hot and traditional Chinese available for takeout as well. Restaurant needs to update its decor and bathrooms.
Kung Pao Chicken dish is never consistent. Sometimes the sauce is great with a thicker consistency, but most of the time its oily and tasteless and the meat is dry.
The best Chinese food in Solano county! been eating here since before the Loma prieta earthquake. Delicious pot stickers and the best sesame beef!
China house has Authentic Chinese food I recommend you trying this place out
Ive been going to China since that 1980s. It has changed hands under new ownership since but the new owners have kept the reputation and the food is delicious. highly recommended!
Another restaurant that doesnt bother to update ehen it closes. The laziness and apathy is galling.
Very nice people, but the food is a two at best. I have to say, I eat in many chineese restaurants across the country, and for having proprietors of Chineese descent, It was a let down. Maybe it was just a bad night for them.
Wonderful food and wonderful people! Their handmade pot stickers are a must try.
Very disappointed Szechuan chicken looked like hot and spicy soup lemon chicken was way too sweet and vegetable fried rice had no flavor but they are very quick thats why Im giving them the two stars
Always fresh, and always tasty! The hot and sour soup is one of our favorites.
Worst chinese food ive ever eaten..worst in Vacaville Ca by my opinion..ordered mongolian beef(meat was grey..tasteless) wanted Gen Tso chicken..was told what they had was comparable..that was a lie..and beef fried rice..the rice was only thing good about the meal..but the downfall was the grey beef thrown in..smh..wont ever go back even if they paid me
I just like their food. I always get awesome customer service there. The place is always clean and the employees are always kind. Would recommend to others.
The soups are always fantastic you cannot go wrong with any of them. Their food always tastes fresh, and their service is great.
Been going here for years, definitely some of the best in town! My favorite place for Hot and Sour Soup 🍲
Amazing, delicious, polite staff, they even teach us Chinese every time we come! Its so awesome. We come here all the time and will continue.
Great place to pitstop before outlet shopping!!!
Food was very plain on noodles and rice and lemon chicken ..pot stickers and beef broccoli 🥦 yum 😋 beautiful place beautiful plated food but the amount was small
Friendly service, great food! My recommendations: The potstickers and Kung Pao Bean Curd. Both are delicious!
Great service, great food. The only thing keeping the fifth star off is the cheesy, old Chinese restaurant decor and bright lighting.
Food and service out standing, we had a group of 30, moved tables, and they were watching with smiles
Decent food, but Ive eaten at better Chinese restaurants in town.
Great food, wonderful staff, will revisit.
Quick service, and some of the best food Ive had in a long time. Top notch restaurant.
Im in love with their soups! Best Ive had and I come from a Chinese family
Very good food, quick service. A little on the pricy side.
Really good lunch specials. Dinner portions (to go) are very small, though.
Excellent, wonderful food and service is top notch
Great food, generous portions, good prices.
Carefully prepared, delicious fare. We had the house beef and chicken with peapods.
The chow main was great and the sweet and sour shrimp was amazing.

2022-09-19 00:42:31I ordered some entrées for my birthday dinner and was not disappointed with any of them: the teriyaki chicken was not too sweet, the celery in the savory cashew chicken was still crunchy but not raw, the combo fried rice was fluffy, the chicken and snow peas was yummy...no complaints here. I look forward to a sit-down meal at the restaurant, but the take-out was very nice.

2021-07-23 19:06:40Ive favored many Asian restaurants all over Northern California, but this place quickly shot to the top of my all time favorites! Best Kung Pau, best Walnut sauce, and the absolute BEST hot n sour soup ever! The walnut chicken and similar dishes elsewhere are often very overwhelming, but it is a perfect balance of sweet and salty from the nuts with savory, perfectly fried chicken. We made a 45 mile drive to try this and we will definitely be coming back often!

2023-08-16 07:09:51Best Chinese food in the county if not the state! Friendly and efficient staff with good memory for faces. I have been out of area or 5 years and owner/waitress said Welcome, havent seen you for a long time, good to see you. $$

2023-08-29 04:26:36We had take out and were excited since we love China House in Novato. Admittedly we compared quality and portions to Novato location. The young man who gave me the order told me they are all independently owned. The portions were smaller and seemed pricier than the Marin county location. Chicken teriyaki was in a lot of broth with onions and mushrooms, not what we expected. Shrimp with walnuts was okay but not very flavorful and heavily breaded.We would try it again but with enough time, make the drive to Novato.

2023-01-29 04:11:44Paid over $40 and had something metal in my food. I couldn’t eat it because I was worried if it was safe. The couple bites I had didn’t even taste good. We live in WA so was trying a new place, if you’re like me trying to find a yummy Chinese place, THIS IS NOT IT!!!
