I'm from New York so I think I know good Chinese food

I'm from New York and have been searching for about 3 years for great Chinese. I have travelled all over Atlanta in search of it. I went to House of Chan's because of all the positive reviews. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken and it came with fried rice. My boyfriend ordered 10wings and vegetable rice. I can honestly say they have the freshest and lightest tasting chicken i've had in Georgia. But honestly I will say the food isn't as great as everyone says. I will say the Chinese is about as good as you can get in Georgia. The chicken is awesome, But the chicken wings were salty but they were fried well and they tasted great-minus the salt. The rice was very light and tasty but they had NO salt on it. I would recommend this place. All in all the food was great. But I content on believing that the best Chinese comes from China, New York and California. Everything else is second to it. I will surely eat there again. Maybe they had an off night. hope this helps
- Pros: Real Chicken
- Cons: Either too much salt or not enough
Good entrees, bad egg rolls, overbearing hostess

My husband and I no longer eat at House of Chan. This makes me very sad, b/c despite the fact that their egg rolls and crab rangoon were never very good, they had the best sesame chicken and beef/broccoli and we actually loved their free hot tea. We ate there a few times a month, and the small staff there started to recognize us.
The hostess is very nice, I swear. But it slowly escalated from greeting us warmly, to chatting for a moment when she sat us, to stopping by to chat while we were eating, to sitting and talking with us until our food arrived ... until the last time we went, when she pulled a chair up to our booth and talked to us the whole time we were there. We provided one-word answers to her questions, didn't ask any of our own, referred to it as our "date night" ... all to no avail. It was just too awkward, so we stopped going.
Anyway, the entrees are really amazing, so I highly recommend House of Chan ... just don't be too friendly with the staff, I guess.
- Pros: Great prices, yummy entrees, kind staff, clean place
- Cons: the deep-fried appetizers (egg rolls, crab rangoon) always seemed to be cool in the middle; overbearing hostess
One of the best by Leslie A. at InsiderPages

This is quite simply a great Chinese place. Instead of the heavy, greasy chinese that other places serve, the food here tastes fresh and light. Today the special was sesame chicken, and the star is the chicken. The batter and glaze compliment the meat instead of the other way around. My only gripe is that egg rolls or soup do not come as part of the entree.

Best chinese I've had. The quality is first class and the ingredients are always fresh and the sauces flavorful. Try the popular Dragon Horse Chicken or Shrimp. My favorite is the Black Pepper Shrimp.Dinner menu has many specials. Fills up quickly at lunch, go early.Fast service and friendly staff.

Fresh, fresh,fresh! Not your usual Chinese restaurant...
General Tso's Chicken is my favorite! Sweet and spicy with tender chicken.
Nice atmosphere. Not too large so get there early for lunch or you'll have to wait in line that trails outside the door.

House of Chan is an impressive Chinese restaurant. The food here is outstanding. The wait staff is polite and helpful. The restaurant is small and soothing. You will enjoy your visit.
Fresh ingredients, good service

The House of Chan isn't your average strip mall Chinese restaurant. It's been family run for over 20 years. The food was good, different than your average fair. I had the egg drop soup, which was slightly less salty than some versions. I also had the fried rice, which was not as greasy as some; it tasted lighter. My only complaint was that the rice did not have many vegetables in it.. My dining companion had the house special of shrimp, beef, and tofu. I enjoyed a few pieces of his tofu, and the soy based sauce was quite good. Service was pleasant and very prompt. The hot tea that is included with the meal is very flavorful. It is a few dollars more than most Chinese restaurants, but the fresh food is worth the price.
- Pros: Fresh ingredients, efficient service, large portion sizes
- Cons: Hard to find

I sure do miss House of Chan. Living in Florida now and sure wish I had my Dragon House Chicken. Food is "refreshingly" fresh and excellent quality. Yumm!
One of my family's favorites for years.....

My mother used to work just around the corner from The House of Chan back in the 80's. My family and I have been going there ever since. Most of my friends that I bring to Chan's think that all Chinese food is the same. They are greatly mistaken! This is one of the finest restaurants I have ever eaten at. Great service and the food is to die for. The hunan shrimp and lemon chicken are personal favorites, however, the black pepper chicken, mongolian beef, and seaseme chicken are great as well. Give it one try and you will be hooked like I am.
a disappointment

Everything here was way too greasy for my taste...I don't think I'll be coming back. The staff seemed like they definitely paid special attention to regular patrons, but were polite to newcomers as well. The decor is nothing special, but what do you expect on Cobb Parkway? ;-)
- Pros: price, service
- Cons: GREASY!
