Passing through Liberty, NC, I decided to grab a quick bite at China House Chinese Restaurant after noticing a sign on the door addressing their understaffing issues. Understanding the challenges small businesses face, I patiently waited for my order, hoping to support a local spot. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. I ordered the Black Pepper Chicken Combination Plate, which turned out to be a big mistake. What I received was essentially a plate of green peppers with a sprinkle of chicken—clearly using the peppers as filler to compensate for the lack of meat. Alongside the green pepper overload was a heap of rice, making the dish feel more like a budget-friendly vegetable stir fry than a proper chicken plate. To make matters worse, the egg roll was laughably small, barely larger than a tube of chapstick. I took before-and-after pictures, showing just how much filler I had to scoop out to get to the little chicken that was actually there. Small restaurants struggle to survive, especially in small towns—but cutting corners on portion sizes and quality is not the way to keep customers coming back. If they’re having this much trouble in a town with limited options, they wouldn’t stand a chance in a bigger city where competition is fierce. Final Verdict: 0/5 – I will NOT be returning. If you’re looking for a satisfying meal, you’re better off driving a little further for better quality and portions. Photos posted for reference.

Had the general tso lunch special. Food had good flavor but the chicken was rubbery and was a very small portion compared to other places. Vegetable Fried rice was good with nice flavor but also smaller portion. Would I try other food? I think so— I would try a few more menu items.

Clean, friendly, and great service. The food is so wonderfully delicious. I have enjoyed assisting food at many places around this country from the east coast to the east coast. I would put this location near the top of my favorite places to eat

We ordered a couple various rolls of sushi, crab rangoons as an appetizer, and beef lo mien and OMG!!! Soooo good. Every time we come the food and service is amazing!! And you can’t beat the prices for the fresh homemade-tasting food! Me and my family highly recommend this place! Pictured is the “after” of our meal… as you can tell we enjoyed it very much!

We always order take out. It is very tasty and when they tell you a time it’ll be ready. It’s gonna be ready and very hot! Portions are large and very reasonable pricing. I love that you order online and pay in person definitely a nice touch!

Great food, amazing staff, and good prices

Came in today. I paid 17$ to eat food that looked AND tasted like it's been sitting for 9 hours. Will not be back lol

The best chinese buffet in the area, i’ve been going here ever since i was really young and they workers always know me and they are the chillest people there. always know what they are doing.

First impression, there’s a flickering light bulb in the doorway that made me feel like I pulled up to the St. Louis slums. Walked in for my order and the woman doesn’t say hello, no smile, just holds out her hand for my card then hands me the food and walks away. I go home and my beef Mongolian has no beef, so I ended up with a veggie meal. The worst ran china king I’ve been to

Great service. Nice place. I’m from Memphis food was a no go for me.

At one time, I ate lunch here each time I was in Elkins. It has steadily gone down hill. Today was my last visit. The server was not rude, just not interested in us. The pictures will show that we were there. Nobody else was. The food looked like it had been sitting for a while. It was about room temperature. I was not impressed at all. The bill for 2 lunches and 2 drinks was 13.89. Disappointed, for sure. I gave 2 stars, because the place is clean.

So good!! The servers were nice and helpful, the food was delicious and warm, and it is so clean! I recommend the sautéed potatoes and the chicken (coming from a person who is very picky about chicken and meats). I’ll be honest, it looked pretty sketchy from the outside, but it’s beautiful and large on the inside.

Loved the soft music in the background. Very pretty decor and clean on the inside. Great selection of hot and cold food. Very friendly staff! Plates were taken off our table promptly. They brought us our recept before being asked, which I loved. Lovely place to eat!

The food was good. It was hot and plenty. So many choices of Chinese viddles. The waitresses was absolutely amazing. Best service to be had in the county. We will go back when passing through.

DO NOT GO HERE! Unless you’d like to get scammed and catch a possible charge. I came here after working an extremely long shift to pick up dinner since it was too late to cook. I ordered on the phone at 7:08 pm and was told it would be a twenty minute wait. I arrive at 7:26 and pay for my food and the front host told me it would be just a few more minutes which I didn’t mind. Well 7:40 rolls around….. then 7:50… then 7:55 and I still don’t have my order as well as no update of when it would be ready. I finally get my food at 7:58.. 30 minutes past the time I was told it would be ready. I walk out with my food then I go in the car to check it. I had 2 combination specials and a separate order of BBQ wings. When I checked the bag I was missing an egg roll and two wings from my order. No problem! I simply go back in and let the front hostess know that I had a couple things missing from my order. So she pulls out the receipt and says it’s not on the ticket….. 🙃 I told her I know exactly what I ordered and that the woman taking the order even read it back to me. They claim that I had only ordered 1 combination special and a 6 piece wing… As you can see from their menu they only have an 8 piece wing and that each combination special comes with an egg roll. Mind you, I’ve been coming here for an EXTREMELY long time and I let them know that this is the first time I’ve ever had an issue and I can understand things happen especially since they were busy. The host says she will get the manager to clear things up but instead of the manager herself coming out, she sends her underage daughter out to speak with me. She says “my mom says or new ordering operator has been acting up and she’s sorry for the mix up, but you will have to pay for the items missing from your order.” …what?!?? Why would I pay for the items y’all forgot to put in my bag. To make an already long story short, I told them they could have all their food back and I want my refund. After paying y’all 45 damn dollars y’all have the nerve to try and get more money from me?! Absolutely not! It took about 15 minutes of going back and forth of them trying to hustle me and keep my money. So in all I spent almost an hour and a half here for NOTHING! I’m floored that they would let an eggroll and a few wings missing from an order prompt them to lose a customer. They need some classes and their head examined for how they treat their customers and letting A CHILD handle business. I honestly feel sorry for the little girl. Will never EVER be back. Do yourself a favor and save your money and the headache you’ll get from going here. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

I think I know good Chinese food, I’m from Brooklyn. This is among the best Chinese I’ve ever had. Fresh and good quality and each dish and sauce unique. Triple delight is fantastic as is chicken and broccoli. Be prepared to wait as food is obviously made to order. Come to eat and not for atmosphere the place could use a makeover but the food rocks.

My favorite food! I’ve been to several Chinese places, they do not touch this place! I love it, the the lady at the front desk is very nice to, she gave my daughter a Pokémon figurine!

Ordered the Sweet and sour chicken lunch plate and added an egg roll was ready in less then 10 minutes of ordering, the food came out great! Chicken was steaming hot and fresh not over cooked and tasted great, the sweet & sour sauce seemed to be different than other Chinese restaurants and was incredible nice sweet taste to it. Cant wait to try it again! The onion Fried Rice although could use a little more onions still was incredible. Egg Roll was nice soft and also tasted great! Great value for just $7.00

The food here is pretty solid. The buffet isn't huge, but what they do have is good. I've had better before, but my standards are quite high. I'm certain most would very much enjoy a meal here.

Very nice little place. I ordered take-out online. Process was easy! The portions were very generous, and everything was very good. Their General Tsao's is spicy and fabulous!

Food here is always top notch. Fresh and hot... and consistent too. Tried the fried sesame balls for the first time this evening (has red beans inside) and they were deliciously sweet. Would love to see more people give this place a try. Every time we've gone it's basically empty and would love to see them stick around.

Sesame chicken was literally all crust no chicken. I tried this for the first time today and would no recommend nor go back. I understand why they never have anyone in their parking lot. Big mistake., also when told that it was all crust she said it could be bc the chicken was hours old and they refried it bc I asked fore extra crispy and that I might not feel the chicken in the bites. I have had extra crispy sesame chicken many times from other places never had that issue. Not satisfied at all not a good place save ur money if u want Chinese and no other place is open.

Their food is great so I will give credit where credit is due but I went in yesterday got a single plate with one meat and a spring roll and they charged me 26$ for something that typically $12. I got less than a full plate of food and was super disappointed. I’m not sure if I was charged wrong or if prices have increased that much recently but I most likely won’t be returning.

My first time ever going, so I was a bit nervous because I'm not a 'regular' (everyone in front of me already knew what they wanted). BUT - employees were super awesome, answered my quick questions, and (despite having a rush of customers) the staff was mega friendly, patient with everyone, and super efficient. Food - excellent price for what you get. It was absolutely scrumptious...I just chose 2 random meats and lo mein. All of it was awesome. Portion sizes were more than generous...ended up taking a lot home and eating 2 more times. Great food, super cool staff...and as far as Asheboro is concerned, it's easily one of my favorite places to get some comfort food now. This place can cure depression on a bitter day, for real haha. 🤤👌
