House of Egg Roll

We went to house of egg roll because one of the local radio stations said they had the best hot and sour soup around. When we got there it took us maybe 15 min to get a parking spot. We had to wait for a table maybe 10 min. And at the table we had to sit with another couple. The service was very bad. And the forgot to bring the soup. The hot and sour soup was not hot and did not have any hint of being

This place always have great food but this place is fuck small. you always need to wait 1hous for eat a fuck food. I went there last time and they ask me for more tips because they think they need more tips. I am just a student and you knock my door ask for tips. What fuck worry with them? I feel they want to rob me or ask me if I give them more tips then sck my money?! really?Nice food and shit service.

Seriously fabulous food, but if you’re craving American Chinese food, this isn’t the place for you. We started with the lamb kebabs (spicy!), and followed with the cumin lamb sandwiches. So glad we tried them because they were a treat. A spicy mix of lamb, peppers, and cumin on a small round bun. We had to wait quite a while for the rest is the meal, but it was worth the wait. We had noodles in a spicy broth, followed by double-​cooked pork (a pork slices stir fired with deep fried bread bites, peppers, and onions in a black bean sauce. Our last dish was the hot and spicy fish. Wow. We loved every dish. They had a great balance of flavors. This is the first time we’ve had this style of Chinese cuisine and we are looking forward to coming back soon.

They’re under new ownership and the menu has completely changed. It’s a small place and there isn’t a lot of seating for parties of two. We had to share the table with another party which wasn’t a big deal. The service isn’t amazing but I don’t go to Chinese restaurants expecting that. The Shanxi style handmade noodles are TRULY AMAZING. I can’t stress how good they are. There is no noodle in all of Arizona as good as this dish. Also it’s a bit spicy so beware. Definitely will be back! Also the only place in AZ that has 肉夹馍.

I had eaten here many times, years before, and it was good. I thought to give it a go again.
I went in one day around 2:45 not realizing they close at 2:30 for a couple of hours, re opening after. The young man behind the counter was polite and informed me they were closed for a couple of hours. I could only say, «oh, really? Ok. «in surprise and disappointment, darn it! No biggie, I thought, I’ll come back another day.
I return, all the more wiser, knowing they close at 2:30. I arrive at 2:15 wanting to get a to go order. As I arrived to the front door, young customers exited and stated they were closed. I was quite surprised. I asked them what time it was and they looked at their I-​phones and seemed surprised as they informed me it was 2:17. Right then a towering male employee opened the door in front of me, just steps away, stating gruffly, «we closed». I responded, «ah, what time is it? Don’t you close at 2:30?» And the employee now has a more glowering look, certainly giving me the impression he is mad at something (me?huh?) and crosses his hands/​arms in an «x» fashion in front of him and me, responding, more emphatically/​sternly, «we closed!» And I think he said «everything frozen.» I’m not too sure here, because it didn’t make sense to me.
I turned away and left. (To a different Chinese restaurant, and that was delicious with courteous employees, for extra measure! Yay!)
Now, they have been there awhile, do a good business it appears, and I am disappointed that I will never try it again. I know they have polite employees as I experienced with the first gentleman. But hopefully the second person works out of sight there of the customers?
I’ve never written Unilocal review before, but this experience I felt to be simply rude, unpleasant, and a bit alarming.
May you receive a more pleasant experience there.
Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

We chose the place for lunch, highly recommend the lamb noodle very warm and delicious. Service was so so and apparently they take food deliveries during their lunch rush (not typical) but the food definitely makes up for it.
One of the people within our party, was not happy with their dining experience. We mentioned it to the wait staff and they charged him for the dish that he didn’t like and replacement choice as well (also no typical). We assumed they would remove the undesirable choice from the bill. Additionally they didn’t have any eggrolls at the place called «house of eggroll», bit odd.
Taking all of this into account we still thought our experience was 5 stars due to the hours of entertainment that we have received when talking with our colleague at «house of eggroll». Well done goes to the staff in their ability to alienate and completely perturb one person in our dinner party but blissfully meet all of the rest of the party’s dining needs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting great entertainment and fodder for hours to come.

I heard this place had changed ownership and went to check it out. I had the lamb noodle soup which was really good. The service was definitely not the greatest, but I can live with that when the food was this good. I look forward to exploring more of the menu.

I think the hype of this place is overrated however, you can definitely tell this place is more authentic than most. Some of the servers didnt even speak English. Hubby and I came for dinner on a weeknight and we barely got a table to sit and eat, we had the table in the back corner (the smallest table there). Service was pretty non-​existent because there were so many people there so we ordered drinks and food at the same time. For a place that’s called house of egg roll, you would expect egg rolls. They had 1 option on the menu and were then told they were out of egg rolls! We got egg drop soup, Mongolian beef, general tso’s chicken and house biang biang noodles. Everything was super bland. The house biang biang noodles were gross, just my opinion. The Mongolian beef was the best thing we ate. Food did come out quickly, which was nice. We didn’t get approached for a refill on drinks or to see how everything was. We had to wave down someone just to get the check. I think this place would be great for takeout but definitely not a nice dine in experience.

I should of known better to cut my losses when the first thing we heard from the House of Egg Roll staff was «we’re out of egg rolls». The service was terrible and when my food finally arrived, the waitress set it down on the other end of the table. I realize there may be some cultural differences and language barriers but the staff at this place is inattentive and rude. The food was bland and cold. In the middle of the lunch rush, a huge delivery of the food came right through the front door. Why the owners of this place would let his happen during their lunch rush is baffling. They staff was overwhelmed and inexperienced. Don’t worry about them not charging for something! I’m surprised they didn’t bill me for my ice water!

If you like spicy Chinese food. This is the place. Featuring northern provincial Chinese cuisine. New ownership brings authentic dishes to Phoenix.

New ownership since 7÷1÷15. Ignore all previous photos, reviews and anyone trying to get egg rolls for takeout.
This is legit Northern Chinese food so do some research before coming otherwise it can be overwhelming. Check out my photos for ideas.
Food is not overly spicy, very well balanced, with great use of acid, expertly executed, big portions for an extremely fair price. Some servers speak limited English so do your research before going.
It can get packed during peak hours so try going off hours but not during their 2:30 — 4:30 break. BBQ is only served after 4:30.
There are a few noodle dishes under Restaurant Dishes that use gluten free bean thread (42, 58, 60).
Vegetarians can request most of the noodle dishes to be made without meat or choose from the following: 6 – 10, 12, 14, 15, 26, 38, 40, 41, 51, 52, 55, 56, 62, 63. Please double check with server to make sure there’s no meat.

Huge, huge fan of HOER!
As has been said, there has been a change of ownership. I was never there before so don’t know how that was.
I do know that I am in love with it now.
This is authentic Northern style (Shaanxi) Chinese food. Some of the staff have limited English so probably best to come armed with some dish recommendations. Definitely look for Helen Y’s review for some more ideas.
We had a variety of dishes on our first visit. 2 stood out strongly.
The Shaanxi-​Style Handmade Noodle dish (#52) was fantastic. The noodles were amazing & they were topped with chiles, soybean sprouts, boy choy and vinegar. So good. A bit salty but I’m a fan of salt.
Our other favorite dish was the Hot & Sour Pork Dumpling Soup (#50). This was a recommendation from our server. This was absolutely wonderful. Excellent tasty dumplings with lovely wrappers (that would have been great on their own) in a yummy broth with vinegar, sesame oil & lots of cilantro. This was brilliant. I saw after we ordered that they also have this dish with lamb dumplings.
We also had the Shaanxi Pan-​Fried Noodles (#54) on a recommendation from our server. A nice dish. A bit sweet, a bit of heat (sliced jalapenos), pork & onions. I like these noodles but liked the handmade noodles in the first dish even better. Definitely nothing to sneer at.
And then our first recommendation from our server after pointing at the Shaanxi-​Style Handmade Noodles was Kung Pao Chicken (#30). It was good but we couldn’t get over some of the other dishes. We’ll be digging more on the noodle side in future visits.
On our second visit, we had to get the Hot & Sour Pork Dumpling Soup again and it was as amazing as the first time.
We also ordered the Tomato Egg Soup (#14). This was lovely. I’m glad it came out before the hot & sour dumpling soup as its flavor was far more delicate. I’d be happy to eat this again for certain.
More exploring to come!
Pretty much pining to return as soon as I stepped out the door both visits. And I want to go right now too!

Very nice little place to eat. Service is great and food is tasty. We had the braised chicken. Love it!

Really amazing food — pretty authentic considering my friends are from Xi’an. The restaurant opens at 4:30pm for dinner on Saturday so we were the first ones there. The waitresses looked like kpop stars with their all black gear, pale makeup & beanie attire. The service is nothing to desire for but their food is delicious. We had their noodle soup with lamb, pao mo noodle soup, braised chicken (大盘鸡), Liang pi & lamb skewers. So so delicious and spicy right where you like/​need it to be!
The restaurant was freezing cold & again, could use some improvements on the service (like smiling, putting the food down rather than throwing it on the table practically, checking up on us at least once during the meal).

I would seriously give zero if there’s «zero star» this option. The reason I put one start is obviously the worst attitude I ever got in any restaurant in the nation. When we walked in, we were asked to share a table with some other strangers. We refused to share a table but we don’t mind waiting. After like 40 minutes we finally got a table. We had been sitting like 10 minutes, and this man came and told us that we HAVE TO move to a smaller table, just because we are a small party? Excuse me? Apparently, he doesn’t feel sorry for inconvenience. Well customers shouldn’t be told and ordered in this way. I strongly suggest this man to take some management classes at ASU for getting some basic knowledge about how to treat your customers.

Important to note this restaurant has changed ownership a few months ago. Unfortunately they did not change the name, so old reviews might haunt it. Not much to do with egg rolls anymore. This place is now a shaanxi (western province in china) chinese restaurant.
The food is seriously good, maybe the best chinese food in phoenix. It’s the perfect spice levels. Loved the pork sandwich, stir fry lamb with cilantro, and the qishan noodles were incredible. This is my new chinese staple.

I just wanna say that the food is definitely worth to wait. And also every single design of the restaurant shows a unique meaning of Shanxi province in China. It is really so popular, every time I go there, alway a long line of wait. So try to go on week days, then won’t be crowd. Even though it just opened since this summer (new ownership, and authentic northern Chinese food) I think they already try their best to serve every customer well. Highly recommend Noodles soups!!! U will love it if u like real Chinese food…

I must say this is The Best Chinese restaraunt I ever had in Phoenix area. Have been living in Tempe, Chandler and Gilbert for 4years, I am pretty confident to say house of egg roll had the best noodles and traditional northwestern Chinese food in the area. The owner is very friendly and honest to customers, with his humorous personality, it is always great experience to have meals there. Good for party from 1 – 20,better to make reservation if you have party more than 8 cuz it usually gets quite busy during peak time. Compared to what I had tried out in LA, it is no second to any noodle restaraunt in LA, too.
Great recommendations!

Most delicious authentic Chinese food! I have to say this restaurant is the best one in Phoenix area. They make northern Chinese food exactly like what we have in China. And the ingredients are quite authentic and I have no idea where did they get it… imported from China?:D
In a word, AWESOME, AWESOME and AWESOME!

I came to this place more than 10 years ago until I heard there is a new owner and new menu recently. I decided to give them a shot.
FOODs are so so and the service is horrible. Staff are friendly, but it took 34 minutes to get a bowl of noodle. Really? Be prepare to wait for a LONG time.
Their excuse was to make sure every table get at least one item, so everyone is happy. It then takes turn to server other items. Some people came 25 minutes behind us was getting their foods before our noodle. That’s just ridiculous. It means everyone is waiting for their second item or so. I guess people order more than one items wont’ be happy.
Will I come back? Maybe just for take out.
