Our favorite Chinese joint. We just order take-out, haven't dined in.
The food is always fresh and hot, and the staff is friendly.
Generous portions, and the prices are reasonable
ProTip: order 1 dinner combo, and split it: plenty for 2 people
Best General Tso's Chicken I've ever had, it's addicting.
I have only ever gotten carry-out from this restaurant, but it is always great! The menu items are clearly house-made, and the fried rice is REAL fried rice. Service is always great-everyone I deal with is always super nice. Price is fair for the quality. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Chinese food!
Update: Since my last  review I have eaten the lunch buffet on several occasions and I stand by my original review. The food is great and different from what you get on most buffets. The service here is outstanding (which is really saying something for a buffet). The owners are super friendly and are obviously passionate about their restaurant.
When it comes to Chinese food in Indy this is by far my favorite in Indy. Â The House of Cheung has a vast menu of home-cooked Chinese food with the family to go with it. Â Our waitress always recognizes us and is super sweet.
I typically get the seseme chicken or sweet and sour chicken "complete meal" which comes with your choice of white or fried rice, egg roll or crab ragoon, and choice of soup. Â All this food in plentiful proportions for like 12 dollars. Â And there's always enough for a full lunch tomorrow. Â Their menu is super flexible so if there's something you'd like to substitute they'll make it happen. I also hear they have a great lunch buffet.
The ambience is a little humbling consisting of mostly cliche chinese restaurant decorations...you know what I mean, but the food speaks for itself being some of the best I've had in long time without having to fork out 30 plus bill. Â
My only complaint is their sweet and sour which seems to be watered down. Â Other than that this place is stellar! Â
Don't forget to add "in-bed" or "in my pants" after you read your fortune!
House of Cheung is, without question, our favorite Chinese restaurant. Like...we used to go there twice a month when we lived in Broad Ripple, but since we've moved...waitresses ask "Where have you been?" when we stop in.
I think I've tried all of the appetizers and at least a dozen entrees. Love the egg drop soup. It's very tasty, and it is NOT that viscous bright yellow stuff many places serve. My partner says they have the best egg rolls in the city and he pines for them. I think their crab rangoon are the best because the flavor is good (not just straight cream cheese) and there is a sliced piece of crab (okay...Krab) in each one. They're freshly fried in thin skins which arrive crisp and bubbly. Yum! We both love the roasted pork appetizer. The combo app is a good choice because you'll get to try everything. I'm addicted to "General's Fried Tofu". Its sauce is spicy and fresh and is NOT the spicy neon red syrup most places use on their chicken. Several of our friends claim the best General's Chicken in the WORLD can be found here. Another favorite is the Pan-fried Noodles with Pork. One night our waitress told us "This is what we eat--Chinese people like noodles this way!" Service is generally very quick and we've never had our entrees arrive while we're still eating our apps or soup. Most of the servers are friendly and all of them are quick.
The interior brings me back to the old Chinese restaurants in Cleveland where my parents took me as a child. Lots of decorations...dragons, phoenix(es?), an aquarium, fancy lights with red thread and jade, and little souvenirs for sale. The main dining room has booths around the edges and tables for 4 to 8 in the center. There's also a more private room where we had a birthday dinner once (no extra charge) for 12 people. In the years that I've been coming here, I've never had a bad experience. Peter (the owner) takes pride in his restaurant and the food he serves and usually comes out and chats with the customers to tell a few jokes and make sure you're having a good experience. He's been in Indianapolis since the 1970s, serving up Chinese food first in other people's restaurants and for years now, in his own.
3.5 Stars - 3 stars for the food, 4 stars for being a local business :-)
I came here last night to celebrate Chinese New Years with a group from my hiking club. Â There were about 23 of us and the restaurant gave us the banquet room at no addtional charge. Â
6 of us shared the Dinner for 6 for $69. Â A lot of food!! Â In addition to the soup (I had the Hot & Sour), you get a large egg roll and a won ton. Â Then came 6 different dishes that we shared. Â I can't remember them all, but it was a good variety, although I would have preferred more fish dishes since there was only 1 fish dish. Â But, I went with the flow and enjoyed the meal and company very much.
I'd like to try their steamed fish and vegetables the next time I go as I prefer less greasy food.
Time to update. Just went again recently for the lunch buffet. Â Everything is the same as I remember it, except the price. It's now $7.00, including self-serve soft-drink and tax.
The lunch buffet is not a lot of variety. (And no salad.) Â But what they do, they do well, including fried chicken, and the most excellent General Tso's chicken I've had at any buffet. Â They also had two other chicken dishes, a shrimp and vegetable dish on the steam table, and a beef dish. Â One of the other chicken dishes was baked or broiled chunks of chicken breast that was also of high quality. Â Egg rolls were good, better than average.
I think their strategy is that by having less variety of food, they have higher turnover in the steam trays, so it's fresher and they don't have to soak it in gunk-sauce like other buffets.
Sugary stuff for dessert, but also fresh orange sections and sliced pineapple.
I still haven't gone for an evening meal, but friends say it's high quality.
A little-known Chinese restaurant that my friends and I have frequented for years.
Basically, the reason to come here is for the General's Chicken. Â I have had this dish numerous times at a multitude of restaurants, but I really believe that House of Cheung has the best I've ever had.
Other than that, nothing fantastic about the place. Â Service is acceptable and it's been nice and quiet every time I've been there.
