China House

I work for at Amtrak which is about 11-13 minutes away from China House and can I just say the drive was more than worth it considering I couldve gone to other closer Chinese spots. I make sure to do my research before going to eat anywhere and the food was great. I Ordered my food around 9pm and they were closing at 9:30pm so I didnt have the highest hopes. But the food was better than expected. I usually work in Syracuse but get called out to Utica every once and a while for coverage. I ordered a sesame chicken combo w vegetable fried rice, crab ragoons, and sugar donuts. Everything was beyond good, especially because I feel like with the Chinese spots in Syracuse, they usually mess something up, causing me to have to order my meal from one place and ragoos or donuts from another place. The ragoons had a good amount of filing and perfect ration of sweetness, to cream cheese, to crab and were nice and crispy-excellent! The food was great, chicken wasnt just all breading, i could actually taste the chicken and the sauce on it was perfect. I usually get soy an duck sauce for my rice and eggroll, but they didnt even need it. Rice had great flavor and so did the prok egg roll. Lastly, the sugar donuts threw me off a little because they didnt have sugar like the classic ones im used to but had more of an icing on the outside, either way they were really delicious! I cant talk enough about how good this restaurant was, definitely my new favorite Chinese spot, cant wait to return to Utica and have it again. Also i paid about $24 for everything i got, very good price in my opinion and for great food!

Very fast and friendly service. Delicious, hot, piping food!

Best Chinese in the area. Owners are very friendly.

My husband and I haven't had great Chinese food like that in a long time! It didn't take long to get cooked and we enjoyed all the food

Absolutely great food! Ordered 4 different dishes and they were all great quality and taste.

I order from here every chance I get, which unfortunately is not enough. The people on the phone are always very nice and answer all my questions and/or special requests (they allow certain substitutions with their combo platters for an extra fee, but it’s worth it if you want something like Mei Fun rather than rice). There is a delivery fee but they are consistently quick to deliver compared to many places I’ve ordered from throughout the years. The usual delivery guy is very polite and nice. As for the quality of the food... Almost everything I’ve ordered has been REALLY good!! Definitely made fresh, their spring rolls are always crispy on the outside like they’re supposed to be, I LOVE their Mei Fun, Chow Mein, Shrimp w/Chinese vegetables, etc. They will also give you free chopsticks if you ask, and I always do, lol. I’m actually already making plans with a friend to order from there on Sunday for my friend’s birthday. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because some of the things my friend has ordered (mostly Americanized Chinese food like Crab Rangoon, sweet & sour chicken, etc.) aren’t as consistently great, but I don’t usually order that kind of stuff for myself anyway. Also, everything is VERY reasonably priced, especially considering the high quality you wouldn’t expect at those prices.

This is hands down the best Chinese food in the area! We eat here at least once a week and are never disappointed. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!

(2018) Best Chinese take out in the area! Everything always super hot and fresh. They're super quick and always very polite and friendly. They also have good prices. They're one of the few local Chinese take out restaurants that do special items too.. like steak and cheese egg rolls, and special combo platters. love it ! *Edit (June 2023) 5 years later and it's still our go to. Somehow it's gotten even better. Food is consistently high quality.
