My daughter who lives nearby recommended it. You want that Chinese food taste, you got it. I was visiting from NYC and you know how much we love Chinese. We visited some high end Asian spots which were great too. This one hit the spot.

I used to eat here a lot back at their old location, but I hadn't been in a while since moving to Hayward. I do remember coming by back during the pandemic and ordering Salt and Pepper Fish, but it wasn't on their menu. They were nice enough to make it for me since they had all the ingredients, so very nice of them. Recently enjoyed their Chicken Salted Fish and Tofu Clay Pot as well as their Tomato Beef to go. The Clay Pot was delicious and plentiful, and my chinese godmother really enjoyed the tomato beef. Definitely will be back.

China House was my go-to for Chinese food. Well over the years the price has gone up and portion size has gone down. I went in last week for the first time in about a year, I ordered Salted Fish and the price was 19.50!! When the old guy showed me, I had to look in the bag to see what else I ordered lol. I said WOW!! When did the price go up that high, he said you must haven't been here in a while. I said nope and this might be my last time. I wish I had gotten a pic of the cheap plastic container that kept tearing up my finger as I kept going in and out of it. It was sooooooo good tho, but not worth 20.00! Yikes! Couldn't find my receipt so I attached my AE Apple Pay bill. Oh, and I had to ask for A NAPKIN which is what I got (1)!!

The food is very good and the waitresses are efficient and friendly. The young man that acts as host seems uninterested and bored, hence 4, not 5, stars.

I been dinning at China House more than I been eating at Hunan Villa, China Delight and King Valley. I remember when China House was in the shopping center in Pinole Valley. I will confess I did not like the current location off San Pablo Ave. It took over an old sandwich shop. I will say that I have that this location is convenience for me because I could park in the lot or on the side street in front of the restaurant. The inside of China House is big compare to Hunan Villa or the old location in Pinole Valley. Two TVs mounted on the wall to watch news or sports. It surely can be a packed inside during the holiday season. The service is good. I have not gotten bad service while I was eating here or picking up my order. The guy that is behind the counter is nice. As of late when I am eating here for lunch I been having Mixed Vegetable with Chicken. The proportion of my meal isn't bad. It is not too much like Hunan Villa but I am easily full once I finish my lunch. A Five Star Review for China House

China House is a restaurant that I've been going to for the past 10 or more years. The ambiance is of a typically homey Chinese Restaurant and so are the employees. Nowadays I rarely ever go there to sit down for a meal since I get home later in the evening, though whenever I order to-go they are always very prompt at making my order by the time I arrive to pickup on the way home. When craving soup I always order their House Special Noodle Soup. I also like their Salted Fish And Chicken Fried Rice and my kid's love their Salt And Pepper Fried Fish Filet. All three dishes are something that I get at least once a month and they are all large enough to share.

It's not that great. But I have been going here for 30 years or who knows how long so I guess it's not that bad. The old location on Pinole Valley Road was better. The food was better, perhaps because they were busier back then. They had a fish tank with those fat short goldfish in it that wobble when they swim. New location is in the location where C&C Deli used to be. I wish C&C Deli was still open. But you know, China House runs a square deal, they serve you enough so that you get full. It's not spectacular, sometimes it's good. The family who runs it speaks Cantonese. They are your typical Cantonese type of restaurant staff, they aren't overly animated, they are cool and relaxed. Order well and you might get them talking. I went here last weekend with my neighbor. It's one of those places you go when you want a lunch special on the weekend and you want to eat inside and you don't want to spend too much. It's convenient.

Favorite local Chinese spot out here in the East Bay. The food has a ton of flavor. Won Ton soup , fried rice, broccoli beef and sweet and sour chicken hit the right spot . Service is immediate , the staff tends to the client right away. It is a casual ambiance and very family oriented. It's a must visit place.
