House of Taipei At Lake Norman

Delicious food! We have been trying to find a decent non-​fast food Asian restaurant for a while now and I think we found a winner! Generous portions to take home. Excellent hot and sour soup, steamed dumplings, fried rice, chicken with Black bean sauce and General Tsos chicken!

I had the hankering for asian food the other day. Since this place was so close to my house I figured I might as well try it. Walking in, it had a cozy/​comfortable atmosphere. Nice big tables, and quiet environment. The service was great, and our drinks came right away.
The menu was a little bland, not much option for vegetarians. However; they still have a small veggie menu which I appreciate. We started out with fried dumplings. Then had fried rice and the garlic brocoli. Everything was okay. The dumplings had great flavor, but the pastry was very thick and chewy, the rice was basic, and the brocoli was a little undercooked. Their sauces were great though. The dipping sauce for the dumplings was amazing, and I found myself spreading the garlic sauce over everything on my plate.
Overall, I would say this place is pretty average. It’s very safe: nothing outside of the box, but decent food nonetheless.
I will say though, that their prices are WONDERFUL! Our whole meal was only $ 15!!! So, for that price it is a fantastic place to go if you are on a budget.

Travel from Ohio to Florida and back each year, always stop in the area for the night to split the driving. Never eaten anywhere else in the area! Best food!

I really enjoy this place… I’ve never dined in but I always order take out! This is the only Chinese restaurant that I eat at in the Charlotte area (even though it’s techically located in Huntersville) So that’s saying a lot! The service is always fast and friendly each time!

Very friendly service. Food is good, but it’s lacking flavor. Some people love this type of clean food. I would prefer more flavor. Check it out. See if it’s a good fit for you.

My husband and I checked out this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised to have found our new favorite Asian restaurant. The food is just delicious. I ordered General chicken, which was perfectly crispy white meat chicken in a tangy sauce. The vegetables were also crisp and fresh. My husband ordered the best combo fried rice we have ever had. It was packed with flavor. This is our new go-​to for delicious Asian food.
Tip: The restaurant offers combination plates at lunch time, so if you want to check out the menu at a lower price than dinner time, you can at lunch and they also include soup and an egg roll. Enjoy!

Very good take out. New to NC and I will be happy to have this place as our go to take out spot. Only given 4 stars because I wasn’t a fan of the eggroll or lomein but both were good when doctored up with some of the sauces in the other dishes. Also the restaurant’s ambiance could be improved.

Not a fan. The food is just so-​so and the service is adequate.
In my opinion the prices are ridiculous for a Chinese food restaurant.
We have crossed this one off of our list and only consider this if everything else in the area is busy.

We live in Mooresville and we make the ever-​so-​treacherous drive to Huntersville (a whole whopping ~10 miles) when we want GOOD CHINESE.
While it’s not really that far, it’s further than we typically go because Mooresville and Lake Norman have such fantastic dining options. Plus, on a weekday, around dinner time (with rush-​hour traffic) it takes a solid 30+ minutes to get there. The other thing to note, is that anyone can get Chinese basically in at least one place within every two square miles of any mildly populated local. But, this is by far, our favorite!
It’s surprisingly large and a bit hidden off exit 25 — behind Bob Evan’s and BB&T on the left before you get to Birkdale. But, I believe they make a killing just by word of mouth — and Unilocal of course. So I give it 5 stars for consistent quality, speed and flavor.
Now, what do I recommend??? Well, we love their scallion chicken (it’s my husband’s favorite, he gets it without the scallions/​onions). It comes with white rice and is always served with a delicious crisp exterior and the perfect amount of sauce (if you eat it on site that is), and somehow the middle is still moist. The quality of the chicken is average, but it’s always tasty. TIP: If you ever get this to go, order the sauce on the side! Night and day difference when you get it to go this way.
I love their Mu Shu chicken… I’ve always been a sucker for a good Mu Shu, and I find quality Mu Shu hard to find. Typically, theirs is not too oily (like some places) and they give you a decent quantity and mix of meat and chicken. Like most Chinese places that serve Mu Shu, they give you an oddly small amount of pancakes. I think they charge me 25 cents for each extra pancake, and I usually get 3 – 4 extra pancakes. Plus, I often ask for extra sauce (it’s called hoisin sauce), especially if it’s to go — they’ll give you the tiniest little container otherwise.
For appetizers, I love their crab rangoon. Personally, I only like my crab rangoon with the bright red sweet & sour sauce. Here, they only give you duck sauce (made with duck of course! … kidding!) So I always ask for the sauce, which they of course charge me at least $ 1 for.
In terms of price, it’s not super expensive, but it’s also not cheap. We usually leave having paid between $ 30 – 40 including tip. I am a stickler for discounts and bargains, but this place is so good, I have no qualms about going without a coupon (which I’ve never seen for this place, and trust me, I’ve looked.)
Net, this place has really excellent Chinese. They ‘nickel & dime’ you for the little things, but I keep going back which says a lot. …especially if you know me.
Give it a try; you will not be disappointed.
Note to management, PLEASE OPEN A LOCATION IN MOORESVILLE!!! (That would be amazing!)

It’s the restaurant you need, not the restaurant you deserve. You start off by coming in. The wait for a table is short. It doesn’t matter if you have a table of two or twenty, you’ll never have to wait long for a seat. When you get to your table, you will find some of the best service in all of Charlotte. Your order is taken rather quickly and you get your food very fast. It’s unbelievable how fast the food comes out. As quick as five minutes. And the food is good. I’ve never been dissatisfied and I come here weekly. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

We just move here from Connecticut and thought so far this is the best Chinese we have had thus far. Mannn are they fast though so don’t let them rush you. I was surprised they charge you for a second pot of tea, but what ever. We had a decent meal. The hot and sour soup was not he nest I ever had but it was good

We often frequent this Chinese place. Fast, good service and the food is always good. The prices are pretty cheap, pretty average. I think it is better than P F Changs myself.
The general chicken and chicken fried rice is a popular dish selection for my wife and I. The chicken wings as an appetizer, believe it or not, are amazing! Enjoy!

After visiting a property, me and my partner came here to discuss details about a potential accusation from seller. We arrived at the restaurant and were able to get a table right away. I think it was around closing time so we were lucky enough to get a good and fast service.
We ordered our beverages which came pretty quickly. We ordered our food right away so that we can start our business discussion. We were hoping that it would take them good time to make our food which would allow us enough time to talk. We were wrong, the food came fast enough just like our drinks. So we ended up continue to discussion while we were eating (I know) and after our meal. Our food came out just the way we ordered it, my order is always custom and it came out right the first time.
Even though our we were done with our food, we seat down long after the meal at the table to finish our conversation. Nobody came to our table to tell us that it was time for us to leave. I realized it so, I made the conversation short and told the seller that let’s pick this up after we get more details from him which we requested it.
The manager thanked us for visiting with a smily face which was a good service :)

Typical American-​Chinese fare. One item of novelty may be the sa-​cha sauce. You can have it prepared with chicken, pork and etc. For the mildly adventourous eater, try the sa-​cha.
Asides that, its the same old same old…

We order from here weekly. Great food, fast, and order is ALWAYS accurate.

I have been in the area for about three years and I have tried just about every Chinese restaurant around (I admit it… I’m addicted to Chinese food!), but it wasn’t until I found House of Taipei that I finally found what I’d been looking for. Until three years ago I had my favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant in New York and none here came close until this one… in fact House of Taipei may be some of the best moderately priced Chinese food I’ve had. Try the Sa Cha Chicken and you will not be disappointed! Also the patrons are very friendly. This place is going to be the bane of my waistline because I go so much now.

I eat here a couple of times a month. Really nice front of the house staff. Seems to be family owned and oprerated.
Great price and good American Chinese Food. (I dig the Chicken Kon-​Bo). They have a REALLY good soup for two that, if you’re looking for something more healthy than MSG brown sauce, is a good option.
Bar-​style waiting area. Gets busy during lunch and dinner, especially on weekends.
BE CAREFUL about drinking and driving. The Exit 25 area is regularly patrolled by law enforcement. Better to get a cab.

Not sure if there has been a change of ownership, or what has happened, but things went downhill fast. Tonight’s order will definitely be our last. The fried rice tasted like lukewarm oil, our eggroll’s were definitely not the right color on the inside, and our container holding our chicken dish was only half full and incredibly bland. Essentially, the meal was only worth of a trash can, which is where it went. And I really, truly hate to waste food, so that is saying a lot.
We arrived at the restaurant to pick up our order exactly 3 minutes after I called it in, and it was already waiting for us on the counter. I should have known then what to expect!

Been pleased ever since we moved here 9 years ago that there was a Chinese place of House of Taipei’s caliber so close to home. Have only gotten one thing during that entire time that I would consider not so hot. The teriyaki steak. That makes about a 98% hit rate though on a hell of a lot of at bats so, not too shabby.
Funny to me that in all this time we have never had a meal IN the restaurant! Take-​out all the way and have never been told anything other than, ready in 10 minutes. Oh yeah, and the order is always right when I get home!

I don’t usually like Chinese food, and my husband and I visited this place on a whim. While not as good as PF Chang’s, they certainly are not bad. The noodle dishes are often overcooked, however, and their steamed dumplings are just plain doughy.
I wish they would offer delivery!
