House of Chiu

Getting two stars because the delivery was fast and the food was hot. Sadly, the food lacked flavor of any kind. This was the blandest food I’ve ever had, from any restaurant, anywhere. I know this is a buyer-​beware thing with any food, but I have a shellfish allergy and told them about it. I don’t think there was any shellfish in my food but there was definitely contact with it somewhere in the prep or cooking process as I had a mild reaction. I’m adding this to the long list of places I can’t order from for that reason.

I LOVE Chinese food. I’ve also been challenged to find good Chinese in our area. Tonight I Unilocaled and found House if Chiu. I’m not disappointed. I ordered a mix to try a variety — Happy Family, Special Fried Rice, Egg Roll, and Crab Rangoon. Everything was excellent. I’m looking forward to taking leftovers to work tomorrow for lunch. I will definitely be back to further explore menu options.
Egg Rolls were crunchy and just the right blend of ingredients. Happy Family may not have «real» crab but they were quick/​honest to let me know and the entrée was great. Fried rice was like others indicated — good and not greasy. Crab Rangoon is not the sweet kind (my preference) but I’ll definitely order again because it’s really good.
I got my food to go. The person who took my order was very friendly and informative. She also took the time to double check my order.
I’d recommend House of Chiu!
(FYI — the only thing that made me rate 4 stars instead of 5 is that I prefer real crab — :))

I’ve been here three times so far, and it’s been wonderful each time. The teriyaki chicken is the best I’ve had, and I love their fried rice. The hot and sour soup is very good, and I plan on trying something new every visit. The milk tea is also very good. Good prices and large portions.

Best Chinese food place in town! The food is not too greasy, as many Chinese food restaurants can be.
I’m addicted to their bubble tea. Do yourself a favor and order a strawberry smoothie with tapioca pearls.

Nice place, good location, nice services. That was the first time I tried something like that. Really nice. Higly recommend

This is my new favorite place to get Chinese locally. Very reasonably priced and the fried rice is really good and not oily like other places.

This place is lovely. The food is good, quality ingredients unlike most other similar Chinese places. However the prices are great as well. This place gives me mixed emotions. I’m moving away soon so I won’t be able to enjoy it. I’ve lived in the fairview swansea area for 3 years and I’m sad to only be able to get this place for the next 3 weeks… why didn’t I find you guys sooner??? Loved it. Got the lovers bird nest beef and broccoli as well as chicken lo mein and spring rolls. All good all piping hot and delivered to my door quickly!

Def needs remodeled. alow on the phone. fast delivery decent food in store delivery is hit or miss. if it’s early it’s good evening you only get about ¼ of the meat your supposed to get but it tastes good … hit or miss

I’ve never been to a worse Chinese restaraunt. My wife and I had chicken fried rice, shrimp fried rice with chestnuts and 2 egg rolls. My wife asked for extra water chestnuts.
The rice was dry. The egg rolls were very dry. There was very little chicken, but you could see a few pieces. There were two of the smallest shrimp we’ve ever seen. If she hadn’t asked for extra water chestnuts there would have been none.
When we called to express our concerns the man who answered would not let us speak to the lady who waited on us. After arguing with this man for five minutes we ended up telling him we would certainly never return or recommend their food to anyone.
Very disappointing.

Have ordered takeout and dined in as well and always have been very please with the food. Love their egg rolls and lo mien noodles! My all time fav has to be that I can get bubble teas there. The coconut milk tea with tapioca pearls is amazing. Not to mention where I live is out of the delivery range but delivery to me anyways for a very small fee. Highly suggest give this place a try.

Best american chinese i had so far in the states. first off, they are NOT crazy salty or greasy like alot of others. and it tasted more closer to authentic ones. had to paint my house so ordered deliery and the lady was having difficulty finding her way but eventually got here. well done!

Just moved into area and dropped in late evening to grab a bite. We were the only people in there and it was questionable. The food was excellent and the service was great. This is a family run place that looks as if they been around for a long time. The owner/​cook came out to chat and make sure we liked our food. Everything was really good and unbelievably inexpensive!!! 3 Adults combination dinners came out to 20 bucks!!! I think this place must do a large carry out/​delivery business. We will be Back!

Friendly service, good food, the coconut milk tea is so awesome. This place makes my family happy.

IN SHORT: The House of Chiu is a great option for off-​the-​menu Chinese food in Belleville, both for dine-​in and takeout.
DETAILS: I’ve driven by the House of Chiu many times, but it wasn’t until yesterday that my wife and I decided to give it a shot. I’m glad we did, and we’ll definitely go back — it was a great little Chinese restaurant situated on a decaying former main drag of Belleville. Though the glory days for this part of town (and likely, this restaurant) are long gone, the House of Chiu is definitely worth a destination visit for lunch or dinner.
This small and unassuming restaurant doesn’t seem to have a lot of seating (I’d say it’s comparable in size to a Pizza Hut), and it only offers a small buffet at lunch. Most of their business is dine-​in off-​the-​menu and takeout, and they have a nice menu with some original dishes that make them stand out from more popular options in the area like China King.
My wife ordered the Shrimp Lo Mein, and she really enjoyed the noodles. I ordered an intriguing dish called the «Chow Fun,» which was a mixture of chow mein noodles, carrots, sprouts and some other vegetables. Each meal, ordered off the «combination» menu, was $ 5, and there was enough on our plates to feed us each for 2 meals. Combinations also come with a side item (such as an egg roll or crab rangoon) and rice, which means they’re a decent value for the price. All in all, my wife and I each got 2 meals’ worth of good Chinese food for $ 11 plus a tip — and I even got to have a decent vegetarian dish!
We were there on a Sunday evening, and the service was friendly but a little slow. The woman who greeted us had a tendency to speak quickly in a thick accent, so she wasn’t always easy to understand. The clientele appeared to be older folks who had eaten there a lot — suggesting to me that this restaurant was once a popular destination in Belleville when the North Belt area was a hotter destination.
Since they had a lot of vegetarian options, I’d definitely consider the House of Chiu for my next Chinese takeout experience. The food wasn’t as greasy or messy as China King’s, and my wife definitely felt that the noodles were superior. It’s probably not the most authentic Chinese food available in the area, but it was good and it was inexpensive, which is good enough for a quick dinner.

This has been my absolute favorite place to eat since I can remember. I’ve had countless birthday dinners and lunch dates here. It’s a small family business. I watched the owners’ children grow up. When I walk in, the owners ask me how life in California is. Every time I come home to Belleville, I make sure to visit (and chow down) at lease once. When my parents visit me in LA, they ask the owners to make a special batch of their extraordinary Lo Mein Noodles to bring out to me.
Things to know:
–Lunch Buffet (I think it’s about $ 6 now?) It’s small, but it features all of their best recipes, and there’s always plenty to fill you up. If you come in for the buffet and the food looks like it’s been sitting there for too long, they will make a fresh batch just for you. It’s not like a normal Chinese Buffet where there are 8 buffet tables, with everything you can think of including sushi and pizza. They put a lot of thought and care into their small buffet, and I’ve never found another one like it. Somehow, even their simple vanilla ice cream is incredible. Sort of salty-​sweet.
–There is NO DINNER BUFFET, but you can eat in or take out large portions of any of their many scrumptious dishes.
