Honestly, I set the bar pretty low for these kind of places, but China House definitely cleared it and we’ll be going again, most likely for takeout. We’ve lived in McMinnville since 2020 and finally tried this place on a recent Sunday afternoon. The decor, outside and inside, definitely needs some work. But that’s pretty typical for ‘family style’ Chinese restaurants in the USA (is it just me or do all these places look like they opened in 1985 and haven’t changed a thing since?). We were seated quickly and offered the usual hot tea. We started with crab puffs and barbecue pork, both above average and freshly made. Our entrées were orange chicken and a spicy beef vegetable dish. Again, both were above average, fresh and tasty. Service was quick and efficient and friendly. After listening to the nonstop racket coming from the bar area, we decided to go there for an after dinner drink. There was a very casual pool tournament happening, and it was fun to watch. The people, both Staff and customers, were very friendly. The beer was a little flat the prices were good, so I’m not complaining… Nice selection of gambling machines, if that’s your thing. Overall, I set the bar pretty low for these types of places, but this is one of the better ones in McMinnville, for sure. Will be going again.

DJ Jenn Jarred really knows how to move throw a good party and a karaoke night. Quite possibly the best karaoke in the area. Super fun and she is super knowledgeable. Loved it. Loved the new remodel and the additional added pool table. Three total now. Great drinks. Great food. Great bartender Tammy and other staff. They have all the oregon lottery games. Full bar. Karaoke that starts after 9pm. I recommend the pot stickers.
