China House

This might be the best place in the area for Chinese food — only because it’s the ONLY place to get Chinese food in the area!
There was only one waitress (probably the owner’s wife) and her small son (6 — 8 years) working the floor, so service was not so good. The poor girl was running her butt off just to get people taken care of. I was afraid to ask what there was for dessert because of the time it would take to get her back to my table, and then get the dessert to me.
It was so cold in the restaurant that I didn’t want to spend any more time in there! I sat in there the whole time with my winter coat on and my hands freezing.
The food was not all that bad; a good quantity of the entre, but only a small bowl of white rice to go with it. If you really wanted more rice it could’ve been purchased, but with rice as inexpensive as it is they should have given it proportionate to the entre.
The next time that I’m in the area and want Chinese food, I will drive the extra 8 miles to Schererville and go to the buffet.
7:00 pm January 21, 2016 … 26 degrees outside.

The food is far from authentic. The location is good — considering they are the only place in cedar lake with some sort of Chinese food. The food isn’t very filling. Gave them two chances. I see why no one is ever there.

This is the best place in the area for chinese food. Fast and very friendly service. Everytime we got the food… It didnt dissapoint. It just gets better and better everytime.

This was my first time best place I’d been to. And I’m a very picky general tso guy! Great food and the combination also comes with soup which is new to me!

I’ve had the Mongolian Beef, Chicken Fried Rice and Orange Chicken and it’s consistent. It’s a good place when you’re in the area and in the mood for Chinese.

Don’t let the shabby, outside look fool you. The restaurant inside is very appealing and pretty. The waitress is punctual and has good English. Once ordered, the food takes about 10 – 15 minutes to process (depending on the food or how many order per person). You will get some complementary appetizer before you order comes. Good snack. Refills comes punctual and left a happy customer.

Despite a lackluster first try, I decided to give it another go. Apparently I caught them on an off day before. They are a decent place, and the mu shu pork is actually really good, as is the crab rangoon. Overall, a good local choice, especially if you really want Asian food but do not want to drive far.

I’ve never eaten in the restaurant, but have phoned in my take-​out order. It was correct every time and was ready in 15 minutes. I’ve eaten from here about 7 times since they opened. Food was good every time.
They are closed on Tuesdays, but open all other days.
If you haven’t tried out the only Asian restaurant in Cedar Lake, by all means give this place a try.
January 2016 update. Figured I’d give them the true test and ordered for carry out in the middle of the day around 3pm. Food was ready and correct and hot in about 10 minutes. So my original Unilocal review stands years later.

I love having options in Cedar Lake –even better when the options are much tastier than the other joints in the region! I love this place –fairly priced and done right. The service is fast and friendly; the atmosphere is laid back.
I hope they stick around for awhile –they are wonderful!

This is a fairly new restaurant (May 2012). We were the only people there on a Friday afternoon at 1pm, but I suspect it’s because it was past the lunch rush and before the «supper» rush. The food was pretty good considering it’s the only Asian food in the Cedar Lake area.
The pot stickers were so-​so; meat tasted like chicken but looked dark. possibly from seasonings and such. I had the Singapore Rice Noodle, which was excellent! I’ve had this dish at many Chinese restaurants, and this was probably one of the best versions I’ve ever had; I definitely recommend this to everyone. My aunt had Bean Curd Home-​style. It was also very good, but the tofu (bean curd) was deep fried before adding it to the rest of the dish. Next time there we’ll have them sautéé the tofu with the rest of the dish instead.
The restaurant was very clean and the staff were helpful and courteous. We’ll definitely become regulars here. C’mon people of Cedar Lake, go eat some Chinese food and keep this place in business!
