the food is great. but the place needs to be cleaned up.
Great customer service noodles are cooked to perfection. Handmade egg rolls?! I mean what more can you ask for it’s hard to get great service AND portions in 2026…this place has both. If you tourist it should be on your bucket list before leaving Waco area. If you local…why eat out anywhere else?! Service is second to none food is always cooked fresh and delicious! Attention to details even when I order online for pick up! I mean just wow above and beyond! Lunch...read full review
The unique decor and immersive atmosphere of Cathay House almost transported me to ancient China.
We ordered the pork belly with preserved vegetables, steamed dumplings, and potstickers. Every dish was flavorful.
Portions were big and the prices are very good. If you are looking for amazing food, good services and captivating ambiance, Cathay House is a must-visit!
