The menu is always being improved, though we had no complaint with the standard one. Their chef keeps bringing back ideas from China. Local Asian students hang out there -- always a good omen. Amy Chow is our long-time personal friend, but that's not why we're writing this review. The place stands on its merits, well-deserved.

Sorry, the flavors are bland, and the sauces are very tired. No spark coming from this kitchen. There is very nice live piano music on weekends.

House of Chow has been here for years and it is always a great source of Asian dishes. My favorite is the fried tofu. I love to go with Asian friends and they order things not on the menu. It is fun to try something other than the same old cashew chicken, etc.

For a restaurant that has been in this location for so long, one might think the place would be run down, but this place gets updated as often as the menu. A favorite for lunch and dinner with a full bar and a menu that offers more than the usual Peking duck and sweet and sour chicken. My family enjoys... More

House of Chow has been a favorite for many years. The selections include some specialties not found everywhere. The chef makes trips to China to add recipes to the selections. You can also find regular dishes like sweet and sour chicken (including Springfield style), orange beef, Peking duck, many vegetarian items. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. This is as...

I haven't found a single Chinese place in Columbia that has GOOD Chinese food for delivery. I wish this place delivered! The hot braised chicken is great, as well as the General Tso's chicken.
