It's an Applebee's. The table though was extra sticky before we arrived. Unfortunately, our server started with "We're really busy and have been all day" with a total of 4 parties in the building outside the bar. No silverware until asked twice (another family walked out because their food got cold and their server didn't return to give them utensils), no straws, and when both finally did arrive, the server dropped a handful of straws (like 40) onto the table and a huge bundle of forks and knives with a few napkins "we didn't wanna bundle them up, y'all can pass them around". Honestly, if you're really looking for a good Applebee's, just give it more of a drive to South Tampa on Gandy Blvd. Far better experience even if they're slammed.

Bar tender was super fast and really nice. Manager was terrific, super friendly, discussed the game like a champ! Food was fast, hot and correct. Will definitely return to this location. :)

I moved away to NC and I came to town. I made sure they were my 1st meal. ALWAYS good food and service.

Heard this spot was good but was pretty disappointed. Way worse than just going to your standard Asian take out place. Noodles were alright but rice and meats were all very lacking and it was pretty expensive for what it is. Not very much variety in flavor between all the dishes. Needs different sauces, all just tasted like grease. Ate a few bites and threw the rest away.

China House has earned my highest praise, receiving a perfect score across the board. During my recent visit, I ordered the boneless spare ribs dinner combination, which included delicious pork fried rice and a pork egg roll. To enhance my meal, I added a shrimp egg roll and some crab Rangoon, both of which complemented the main dish beautifully. The combination was nothing short of immaculate, showcasing the restaurant's dedication to flavor and presentation. The pork fried rice stood out as a highlight of the meal. I requested mine without peas and carrots, allowing the rich flavors of the rice and pork to shine through. The spare ribs were tender and juicy, bursting with flavor that left me wanting more. However, the true stars of the meal were the crab Rangoon, which were, without a doubt, the best I have ever tasted in my 20 years. Their crispy exterior and creamy filling made for a delightful experience that I will not soon forget. Overall, I cannot recommend China House highly enough. This establishment exemplifies what a real Chinese restaurant should be, delivering exceptional quality and outstanding service. They earn a perfect score of 10 for both their food and service, and I am already looking forward to my next visit. If you're in the mood for authentic Chinese cuisine, make sure to stop by China House; you won't be disappointed.

The best Chinese takeout I have ever had. It tastes like you went to a sit-down dinner and everything was made fresh. I am actually eating my leftovers right now and it tastes just like it did when I picked it up 2 days ago. I am hoping on my second visit that this will remain the same type of quality food that I received the first time. I will post a second review at that time. Also they have the option to order a smaller package if you'd like and honestly the small package was the same size as the larger package that I always get from everywhere else Overall hands down the best Chinese takeout and I will only come to this place. China House you're the best

We had a great experience at Hales Blackbrick! The food was spectacular! The pork belly was a standout, we really enjoyed the lamb wontons, the dumpling tower and the potstickers. The pineapple stir fry was delicious and the dessert dim sum was incredible! Cocktails were well-balanced and amazing. The restaurant is an old diner that the chef bought after his mom passed away as his mom used to eat there. The decor is a mix of funky vintage and hip neons and art. Only critique is that perhaps the sweet sauce on the stir fry is a touch too sweet, and the egg roll was okay but not outstanding, but everything was perfect really. The service was attentive and very accommodating, answering all my questions and providing great info. I’m looking forward to the next location!

We just had dinner at HALES Blackbrick and the experience was fantastic. First, the whole staff was very polite and welcoming, even Chef Richard himself went around greeting guests, and our host, Gabi, was great! Second, the ambience was lively, upscale yet pretty casual with a mixed crowd. Last but not least, the food was excellent, flavorful and very well balanced, served in shareable portions, and paired with several cocktail recipes that really made it all worthwhile.
