China House - NEW HARTFORD

Have eaten here since I was a little kid and the food has been amazing. They are always consistent and their food is never hit or miss.Definitely my favorite Chinese place hands down.

Food is always hot and flavorful. Been going here for a while. Used to go to Tiki Toi on Charlotte st. But that closed a long time ago so this place has been my go to.

Ordered last week and they must have changed cooks. It was awful.

I work for at Amtrak which is about 11-13 minutes away from China House and can I just say the drive was more than worth it considering I couldve gone to other closer Chinese spots. I make sure to do my research before going to eat anywhere and the food was great. I Ordered my food around 9pm and they were closing at 9:30pm so I didnt have the highest hopes. But the food was better than expected. I usually work in Syracuse but get called out to Utica every once and a while for coverage. I ordered a sesame chicken combo w vegetable fried rice, crab ragoons, and sugar donuts. Everything was beyond good, especially because I feel like with the Chinese spots in Syracuse, they usually mess something up, causing me to have to order my meal from one place and ragoos or donuts from another place. The ragoons had a good amount of filing and perfect ration of sweetness, to cream cheese, to crab and were nice and crispy-excellent! The food was great, chicken wasnt just all breading, i could actually taste the chicken and the sauce on it was perfect. I usually get soy an duck sauce for my rice and eggroll, but they didnt even need it. Rice had great flavor and so did the prok egg roll. Lastly, the sugar donuts threw me off a little because they didnt have sugar like the classic ones im used to but had more of an icing on the outside, either way they were really delicious! I cant talk enough about how good this restaurant was, definitely my new favorite Chinese spot, cant wait to return to Utica and have it again. Also i paid about $24 for everything i got, very good price in my opinion and for great food!

Good food and close to home, but you lost me as a customer with the $15.00 card minimum, as I don’t carry cash. I will drive to Clinton from now on for Chinese. You lost $500-750 a year in business. The smarter move would have been to raise prices another 3-4% to cover your CC processing fees.
