About The Claypot House

The Claypot House is a no-frills Chinese restaurant that specializes in clay pot rice, with prices starting at $21 for the clay pots. The restaurant offers complimentary soup and tea, and many customers find the food to be nostalgic and authentic. The house special combination claypot, featuring eel, chicken, and preserved meats, is especially popular. The crispy rice at the bottom of the clay pot is excellent, and the chicken is well-seasoned with an ideal texture. Customers often enjoy the clay pot rice, which reminds them of homemade meals from their grandparents. Some recent reviews mention that the food is mostly good, though a few dishes can be a miss, so sticking to the regular menu’s claypot rice is recommended. The yellow eel and Chinese sausage pot, along with sausage, duck, preserved meats, and fish fillet pots, are highly praised. One claypot was crispier with more rice crust, and complimentary soups are often served, which many enjoy. There are also traditional Chinese desserts on the menu, and some tables order greens on request, though they are not listed. The restaurant is quiet on weeknights, with many Chinese elders dining, indicating good food quality. Many guests appreciate the fast service and friendly staff, making The Claypot House a great spot for authentic Chinese-Toisanese comfort food.
