They have a large menu that has both American and traditional Chinese items. It was odd that one of the dishes did not come with any rice. This would not have been noticeable if the dish was not overly salty. The customer service was pretty much nonexistent for the entire meal. The staff was not rude, but they did not come off as friendly either.

My most favorite Chinese restaurant in Columbia! Fresh materials, authentic cooking & friendly atmosphere … I am always missing the taste.

Massive portions, great atmosphere, inventive twists on traditional Chinese. The spicy seafood soup is a must try!

House of Chow is the best Chinese place in Columbia. However, I'm leaving a 2-star review because of a poor experience. I frequently take friends there to show off how good it is. Recently, I was there with a group of six people. I was not told that I would be charged an 18% gratuity automatically. I'm sure it's buried on the menu somewhere, but I've been a patron at this restaurant for 20+ years. I don't look at the menu! To make matters worse, our server Esther was terrible! My drink was empty when she brought our food. I had to ask for another, which she never brought. I had to ask another server to collect my payment because Esther was MIA. When I was given the bill to pay, I overlooked the automatic gratuity and reluctantly added a $10 tip on a $110 bill to be nice - Esther certainly didn't deserve it. Ultimately, my visit cost me a $25 tip for a meal I consumed without a beverage. Again, I know I have some culpability here, but please tell people when you add an automatic gratuity. You can bet I would have held Esther more accountable if I knew about the charge.

I go to this location frequently, it’s been one of my favorite spots since I moved to Columbia. Esther my usual server always goes above and beyond! Sometimes she’s the only one serving a full restaurant & it amazes me watching them run around getting everyone serviced. I think as patrons we should appreciate a server when they’re capabilities are being stretched even if it means we aren’t getting their undivided attention! Esther knows how to control the chaos elegantly, juggling 25 things at once with grace! Esther is a perfect example of getting things done and will always make sure you’re taken care of!

Service is wonderful and food looks and taste delicious. They were about to close in 13 minutes, but still let us eat there. I highly recommend this restaurant. They'll make sure your first time will be the best time.

This has become my go-to for when I want to sit down in a restaurant for Chinese food. They have a solid menu for both lunch and dinner. I was particular impressed with the large selection of teas, definitely something for everyone.
There are a lot of options, so I don't yet have a favorite meal, but I do recommend the Five Spice Pork Wings (bone-in ribs) and the Sizzling Black Pepper Chicken. It isn't spicy, but it has a wo deful pepper flavor and the way they present it is a delight.

I ordered the chicken lo mein and it was a nice healthy portion. The service was good.

Everything I've had here has been good. The chicken is high quality and amazing flavor some of the best I've ever had. Prices are decent for the quality of food that you're getting. It's so good I stopped mid meal to write this review. The PF Chang's of Columbia.

My family has been going to House of Chow since I was little (basically the entire time they've been open). It is my favorite Chinese food anywhere. I no longer live in Columbia, but it is a priority for me to eat here every time I'm in town. They have the best egg rolls, the freshest ingredients & everything is tasty. I recommend this fabulous restaurant to anyone & everyone!!

My sister and I split an order of Stir Fried Cashew Chicken and egg rolls. She had Wonton Soup and I order the Hot and Sour Soup. Great tasting food. Pleasant attentive staff without a long wait. Good quality and value for a reasonable price.

This is our go to Chinese restaurant in COMO. We've had multiple dishes and all have been great. The most recent dish I had was sweet and sour chicken made with white meat chicken. It was very lightly breaded and the sweet and sour sauce was great. I'm also addicted to their spring rolls. They get them super crispy. The pineapple martini is delicious! They also have an excellent selection of teas that are served in glass tea pots. Can't go wrong dining here.

Excellent dining experience. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive and the food was delicious!
Dar Gayle
Best Chinese restaurant in Columbia. We have been dining here since Amy opened up in 1981. It feels like home.
Harold Hynick
Everything was cooked fresh allowing the ingredients to shine. Kicking myself for taking so long to try this place.
Mike Edwards
I had the Shui Zhu Niu Rou again tonight. It was delicious, as usual.
Madison Fleck
Very disappointed with this place. My boyfriend is allergic to nuts and ordered the pineapple fried rice for delivery since there was no mention of nuts in this dish. However, after taking multiple bites of the dish, he found cashews in the dish and was sick the rest of the night. When I called the restaurant to let them know my concerns, they made no attempt to make things right and said it was our fault for not letting them know of the allergy. I can understand this for more obscure allergies, but nut allergies are common, and the ingredient should be listed. We will not be eating here again.

Always so, so good! The House of Chow Beef is amazing!
