China House

This little gem is one of Anderson's finest!  My wife and I moved to Noblesville a couple months ago, but whenever I happen to be in Anderson for business, I always stop in to grab some China House carry out.

Their chicken fried rice is to die for, and better yet, it will not leave you hungry two hours later like so many other Asian restaurants. Crab rangoons are my wife and I's favorite appetizer, followed closely by the delicious (yet greasy) egg rolls.

What is most notable about China House, however, are the VERY generous helpings and remarkably low prices. Your containers are always packed to the top with rice, chicken, vegetables, etc. and you never feel like you paid too much. We frequently have leftovers every time we dine here.

It may not have the most stunning or opulent interior/exterior, but the owners know what they are doing and they do it the best of any Asian restaurant I have visited.

I was sure I'd reviewed this place already!

Their hot and sour soup is just divine, and not the heavy, gloppy, run-of-the-mill, apparently premade stuff that so many other places serve.  The ingredients taste fresh and the broth is light and flavourful.

Their lo mein is good--not too heavy and greasy--and their fried dumplings are delicious.  The rangoon leave a bit to be desired (I found little trace of crab, fake or otherwise, in our last order), but that's not unusual.

Yeah, it's a dingy little hole-in-the-wall, but the food is good and the service is quick and friendly.  We order take-out from them fairly frequently.
