The sweet and sour chicken balls were the best I ever had hands down, the sweet and sour sauce, the batter and three freshness. The Shanghai noodles hit too. Would definitely recommend

I ordered some food from here and there was nothing good about it. They forgot a part of my order, and the food was horrid. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I have ordered from this restaurant few times. It's not the same all the time. Sometimes good and sometimes not at all. I find there food very oily and salty. Also there is no vegetables in there fried rice It's so plain. How can you sell food with no vegetables. I will never ordered again

I have ordered from this place a few times and the consistency is never the same. Sometimes good, sometimes not. The food I received last night is the reason I will never go there again. I ordered 2 shrimp wonton soup and there was ZERO flavor, it tasted like water.. I had to add some of my own seasonings to get it down. I called to let them know this and he offered to make me a new one but I politely declined. I drove 18 minutes to get there and another 18 back.. This is at almost 8pm at night. NOBODY wants to leave there house again after that.. He didn't offer another solution ( even though I've been there a few times). Then to my surprise, I found a hair in my soup and at that point I didn't even call back. My total order was $53 dollars!!! The egg rolls were expensive so I was expecting it to be a good size but it was tiny, same situation for the steam bun that was ordered. Anyways, that is unfortunately the last time I will be ordering from there.

Ordered chilli chicken and fried rice takeout. The food was really flavorful and came in big portions. Definitely going to continue ordering from here.

Heard a microwave door open and buttons being pressed. The owner gives off doesnt care and don't want to be there vibe. Food was $16 for fried rice and fried chicken. Portions are less than what it used to be. Wasn't gonna write this review until I spent most of my afternoon feeling nauseous and now I'm in the toilet writing this. AVOID

Food arrived reasonably warm. Not really "BOGO" once prices are seen. Sweet and sour pork with fried rice; fried chicken with fried rice ( rice substituted for egg rolls) hostess actually called and asked what I wanted instead of rice 😬; crabmeat wontons; ALL "BOGO" on skip 😬 fried wantons was SERIOUSLY fried a wee bit crunchy; fried chicken juicy tasty they chopped up the damn bones and threw it in there as well 😑. Rice a tad greasy but good. Specks of eggs no veg in rice. Sweet and sour pork not dry and flavorful. Egg rolls are greasy and barely filled with yumminess

I wanted to support a new local restaurant, but I guess it was a mistake. This is supposed to be sweet and sour chicken. Big chunks of clearly frozen dry chicken not even covered in sauce, huge chunks of vegetables and pineapple also barely any sauce. Very disappointed.

Good food, dim sums were really good. Parking available. No dine in. Parking: Located at a small strip plaza, with couple of parking spots. Usually not busy so youll find enough lots. Food : 4/5 |

House of China is a small, hole-in-the-wall take-out Chinese Restaurant which also does its own delivery (much cheaper prices plus discount when ordering direct rather than via delivery apps eg uber, skip, door dash etc.) Owned and operated by 2 talented Chefs, this hardworking Brother/Sister team will wow you with their culinary skills, attention to detail and excellent Customer service. In fact, you will find it hard to believe that every hat is worn by only two people. The only assistance are drivers, but Ive had several late night orders delivered by one of the owners so they also deliver. (Its very impressive how hard they work to keep their Business afloat.) Our 5 Favourite menu items are 1. Har gow (shrimp). Very delicate, nicely seasoned, piping hot and nice presentation. (Not doughy and bland like their competitors Har gow) Its delicious- they take pride in their food and have attention to detail. 2.Custard buns. These are extremely soft. They are light and fluffy like a cloud and soft like a babys cheeks with mouth watering light yellow custard that has a smooth delicious taste. 3. Créme Brûlée (Perfect) 4. BEEF and Vegetables - very tender - with several locally sourced vegetables. A great healthy choice! 5. Sweet and sour Chicken with fresh sweet and sour sauce. Made with fresh - never frozen, juicy chicken - with pineapple.

All the good reviews are probably friends and family of the owner. This place is gross.

I swear when this place use to be called Joe and Lin, this was THE SPOT for chicken and fried rice. Ever since there new owners took over it hasn t tasted the same, it s missing some TLC. I hope they get better

Very good Chinese food. The food tasted fresh and flavourful.

Decided to give this restaurant a try through Skip. VERY disappointing. The rice was edible and the chicken balls cooked, but I was surprised they were even cooked through. When I opened my chicken chow mein the noodles werent even cooked. Like the sauce was just poured on top and they expected it to cook in that. 100% dont recommend. Save your money.

Had to wait 30 minutes for the restaurant to cook very small portions. Another 26 minutes for delivery. Chicken balls huge as size, because of batter. Inside chicken meat the size of an index nail. Chicken wings very small and meat was pink on them. Was charged for a big soup, when in fact was given a small soup. 5 spring rolls were $5.99 for very little food. Chop suey was free, cold and watery. Total order was $51.00 Restaurant is stingy with low quality food and asking big prices.Was refunded $30.00 by Skip. Pass off this joint. Waste of time, money, taste, quality and food expectations. Staff answering the phone was polite. Only good thing mentioning about House of China. Will I order again!? You bet I wont, even if given free!...

I bought a soup from here and the the soup tasted like water and there was dirt on the container, please dont buy any soup from this place also the smoothies are very watered down.

December 22, 2022

My stomach hurts every time i eat the food.

The service was friendly but the food was over cooked if not burnt. Not that I was looking for authentic Chinese food, but this is far from authentic Chinese takeout as well. I grew up in a family that owns these type of restaurants and this is far from what I grew up knowing.

★★★★★

Try their signature fried chicken on fried rice and it is the best thing you will ever need. Ask for the wings and the honey garlic sauce as it is the best in town even better than the pub wings.

Just a pick up spot. So no real atmosphere to judge. The 10% cash discount is only for in person and over the phone. Does not apply to online orders. So watch out! Food : 4/5

Tried there food for the first time. I had their General Tao Chicken and an order of there Chicken wings. It is to die for. Ask for a side of Honey Garlic sauce so you can have two different tastes. A great interesting fusion of Caribbean and Chinese flavours into one. New restaurant on the block go try it out as it is a family run restaurant.

An overall excellent experience. The delivered order was correct, hot and delicious. Price was reasonable and portions were very generous. This is our first experience ordering here and we will definitely order again. If you havent then you must try this!

Unfriendly. Excessive soy sauce on our chowmein; excessive sugar in the pepper sauce and our fried rice. Wasted money spent. Do not go to this place.

Ive been eating here since back in the early 2000s when it was called Joe & Lynns. Since House of China has become a thing, the food quality has only gone upwards. Their lemon chicken is pretty good, staff are friendly, and their prices are very very good. Id rate them a easy 4.5 / 5

Ok the flavour is amazing. Very little sauce though. I wish there was more of it. As for portions, very generous. Wait is a little too much for me. 15-18 minutes. Polite gentle man.
