Waiter did not know half of our order was seasonal and not available. Pad Thai has real fish sauce which was good. Sweet and sour pork batter was not done. Waiter did not fill our water. We kept running dry. Manager did come out and help us order new items. Was very polite. We left more than half of our plates.

Firstly, I’d like to say that our server was excellent and attentive. She was great. Second, I don’t like writing bad reviews but the food here was awful. I feel like it used to be a lot better and perhaps the kitchen staff needs better training or to be replaced. Also, our dishes and utensils were dirty. Even for American style Asian food it was terrible. The Pad Thai that my wife ordered was unrecognizable as Pad Thai. There were no scallions or peanuts or spice and it was swimming in a watery sauce. My Mongolian Beef was basically just meat and onions in a sugary sauce. No spice at all. My fried rice was basically just rice drenched in soy sauce. I noticed some traditional Chinese dishes on the menu and they looked interesting but I’d be apprehensive to try them if they can’t even get the basic stuff right.

I enjoyed the atmosphere here. The lighting is dim and comfortable. They did seem a little short staffed but everywhere pretty much is. I ordered orange chicken. It was just okay. I prefer white meat for orange chicken and not dark meat. Theirs is made with dark meat. My husband ordered spicy tangy chicken. It was not great. Our son ordered generals and it was decent. Their pork fried dumplings was absolutely amazing! Great taste and the dipping sauce was spot on. Fried to a nice golden perfection. The egg drop soup was also delicious. The wonton sauce though was served very chilled and way too tangy. Definitely would be better warmed and a bit sweeter.

Multiple dirty tables, waited over 20 minutes for our drinks, they served some wonton chips with cold sweet and sour sauce, they took our order, waited 15 minutes, another 10, another 10, finally left after waiting nearly an hour for our food. This place is a joke. How has this place gone down hill so badly. This used to be a staple of Waco, now it's trash

First time eating here but won't be the last! Food was hot and very good! I got Sesame Chicken and hubby got Black pepper chicken. Very nice sized portions. Enough left over for lunch tomorrow! Great job guys! And our server was very attentive and nice. Win-win!

First time ordering from here using Door Dash. I ordered the mini pork buns(8) pieces, big pork bun(2)pieces, the Wonton soup, and the fried donuts. Was not disappointed!! Everything was very good. Was full, will finish the Wonton soup later tonight. The fried donuts came with a lot!!. The soup has these large Wontons. Looking forward to trying that. The skin on the mini buns was thin and the pork tasty. The large buns were awesome. Meaty inside, tasty. I also got chili sauce and a soy sauce mixture. Very good!! Definitely recommend this place. Don't miss out.

1st time there and the food is amazing!!! I've been looking for a decent Chinese restaurant and have not found any until now except that this place is far better than just decent. Not a big fan of the chicken chow mein or the crab puffs but everything else was delicious and fresh!!!! They even have lemon chicken!!! The staff there are super helpful and very kind! We will definitely be back and I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone! This is the best Chinese food I've had here in Waco and I've tried chopsticks and others including buffets and they are no where near decent, they were below par at best! If you want great Chinese food, eat at Cathay House, you will not be disappointed at all!
