China House,

20 Stone Pine Road, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019

"As you know, I travel the whole bay area for work and sometimes I find really good Chinese spots. This one was very good. I got the lunch special compound chicken that came with white rice and soup. The rice and the soup were delicious. The compound chicken was good but not great. I feel like the chicken needs a little more flavor, but the sauce they use is great but the chicken itself needs to be marinated a little better. All that was under $15 unless you get a drink, which is a few dollars extra. But I definitely recommend it if you’re in the area."

"The food was really good, I got the Mongolian beef but it was a bit overpriced and to top it off the staff were super unfriendly. They were staring at me from the back of the restaurant while scrolling on their iPads. Very unwelcoming atmosphere!"

"We have been going here for many years. Probably at least 2-3 times a month, every time we are in HMB. The food is VERY good, the meals are a nice size and the cost is competitive. Yes, the lady who works there is not the friendliest, but the gentleman is; also we feel like the lady warmed up to us a great deal since we have been coming here a lot. And the restroom is clean - surprisingly it’s not a given at many other places. Our faves are veggie fried rice, broccoli beef, honey walnut prawns, and both kinds of eggplant, in plum sauce, and the spicy kind with garlic. And their wonton soup is the best we ever tried - EVER. It tastes like homemade. But honestly anything we tried here was very good. I do recommend this place and we will keep coming here!"

"We’ve been enjoying the excellent cuisine of China House since their early days. Under new ownership recently but pretty much unchanged otherwise. My only complaint is some of the waitstaff can be quite unfriendly. There is a negative energy in the air."
