Amazing food with incredible genuine service. They are now doing tacos outside on Sunday which is great for the limited food available around here. Definitely worth it to stop by

I went here on a 1st date. Nice atmosphere. And good service.
My husband and I love a good casual spot with great food and this is definitely one of them! Never too busy, service is always fast and the staff is always friendly! The portions are large, it's not pricey, and they have our favorite beer Tsing Tao. Couldn't ask for more!

Have been going to the china house for 30+ years. Food was alway good and authentic. Was just recently bought by new owners and I have to say the food has been amazing every time! The color, flavor and aroma of the food is so vibrant. I always get beef and broccoli at Chinese restaurants and never eat the meat cuz it’s too chewy. The beef was sliced perfectly and was so tender. If you have never been to China House in Lucerne Valley and are craving delicious food and amazing service I highly recommend going. If you’ve have been before, but not since the sale, you are missing out. The recipes are almost identical. The only difference is the food is actually better and seems more fresh. You won’t be disappointed, and if you are your taste buds are broken!

The wait wasn't bad, the staff was super friendly and attentive. But the food.... It was not good at all and so over priced it was horrible. Everything else was great. I had the chicken veggie chow mein. It was slimy, more onion than anything, and the chicken was not at all appetizing.
I honestly did not want to write this review. I lived in Big Bear for 25 years, and this was the go to place for locals to get off the mountain and out of the snow for a few hours. We would all drive down the hill to the China house for dinner. Very fond memories. The food was awesome, and always consistent. Sadly those days are long gone. Over the past decade it has progressively gone downhill. Have not been here and probably 8 years because of that. Apparently Felix the old owner retired 2 years ago. The new owners are incredibly friendly and hospitable, and the atmosphere is very cozy. Besides that, all I can say is the food was horrible. I am a connoisseur of kung pao chicken and have ordered it thousands of times in my life. But this was absolutely the worst I have ever had. Did not taste like Kung Pao sauce or anything close. It tasted more like sour lemon juice. It was completely Bland and tasteless. It was truly awful. My wife got the lemon chicken, and it was Bland and tasteless too. The wontons were obviously in the freezer for months and you could definitely tell they were completely freeze dried, stale and horrible. The only thing that was even edible was the egg flour soup with corn soup and the egg roll. The lunch specials are $14, and the rest of the menu is very overpriced, especially for this area where people are not obviously not rich. The dinner combos are $30 per person now. You can just about have a lobster dinner at Red Lobster for the same price as eating here now. I had such a bad taste in my mouth after eating that I actually had to chew on the lemon wedge in the water and gargle a bit to try and get the awful taste out of my mouth. Sadly I must bid a fond farewell to the China House

China House is a great spot for Chinese food – conveniently located right along the road and easy to get to. The atmosphere is casual, friendly, and welcoming.
The food was freshly prepared and served quickly. We especially enjoyed the Lemon Chicken – perfectly crispy with a deliciously tangy-sweet sauce. The sides were also flavorful and generously portioned.
The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, a solid experience. If you're in the area and craving Chinese cuisine, China House is definitely worth a stop!

I was there a couple years ago and the sweet and sour pork was just dried out. I decided to try it again. The sweet and sour pork is delicious. I'll definitely stop when I go through Lucerne Valley again
