just spent $60 on some of the worst takeout we've ever tried. only thing decent were the egg rolls but their sweet and sour seemed diluted out with water. we also ordered orange chicken, general tso chicken, chicken lo mein, and hot and sour soup. the orange and general tso sauces were indistinguishable from eachother. they also seemed watered down which is probably why their chicken peices were disgustingly soggy/slimy, very off-putting texture. fried rice was wack- should be described as steamed rice covered in dark soy sauce. soup had a weird flavor going on that was gross as well. lo mein was not as terrible as everything else but still lacking in flavor unfortunately. overall very disappointed and shocked this place has any good reviews at all.

Charming restaurant space with lots of seating. The food was better than other local spots and was fresh and flavorful. The crab puffs were tasty and the lo mein was worth going back for. Affordable and worth the trip, and had a lot of leftovers to bring home.

Cathay House is the best Chinese restaurant in Texas! I’m from Japan, and their dishes remind me of home. The Mapo Tofu is my absolute favorite, but I also love their orange chicken. On weekends, they even serve Japanese dishes. I had their curry rice, and it was so delicious.The customer service is wonderful too. Everyone is kind, the atmosphere is calm and quiet, and the prices are very affordable. Compared to other Asian restaurants, their food is on another level. If you’re looking for delicious, authentic food with great service, I promise you won’t regret visiting Cathay House.

Traditional Chinese food. Brought my family tonight and we enjoyed it. Server was very nice and cordial. I suggest you give it a shot.
Best hot sour soup anywhere. Fried rice is different, it’s brown without any other ingredients like the usual fried rice. Wait staff was excellent, courteous and polite. Entrees have all been good, plenty hot and quick out from the kitchen.
