Cathay House - Menu

The best Chinese food I've found since I moved to the Waco region. Wonderful taste and quality. Servers are attentive and very professional.

Haven't been here in a while but didn't regret coming back. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The waiter was super polite and professional. Definitely a place that I will be bringing the whole family again

For the first time to eat here, but not the last! Food was hot and very good! I have sesame chicken and nudeby black pepper chicken. Very nice portions. Enough for lunch tomorrow. Great job guys! And our server was very attentive and nice. Win-win! View menu

I love love love this restaurant! The shrimp fried rice and egg rolls are my fav. It’s a lot of food for the price and the staff is always welcoming and nice! I try and eat weekly . The food is so good , haven’t had anything that wasn’t good! I appreciate you so much!

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.

During my visit, I encountered several dirty tables and had to wait over 20 minutes for our drinks. They served us some wonton chips with cold sweet and sour sauce, which was disappointing. After placing our order, we waited an additional 15 minutes, then another 10, and yet another 10 minutes, but ultimately we left after waiting nearly an hour for our food. This place has really gone downhill; it used to be a staple in Waco, but now it's a total letdown. View menu

First order from here with Door Dash. I ordered the Mini-Pork rolls(8) pieces, big pig bunny(2) pieces, the Wonton soup and the fried donuts. Not disappointed! Everything was very good. Was full, the Wonton soup will end later. The fried donuts came with a lot!! The soup has these big Wontons. I'm looking forward to trying. The skin on the mini-necks was thin and the pig tasty. The big bungalows were great. Meat inside, delicious. I also have chili sauce and a soy sauce mix. Very good! recommend this place. Don't miss.

Additionally, the dishes and utensils provided to us were dirty, which is unacceptable. Even considering it’s American-style Asian cuisine, the food was far from satisfactory. My wife's Pad Thai was barely recognizable; it lacked scallions, peanuts, spice, and was oversaturated in a watery sauce. As for my Mongolian Beef, it was simply a mix of meat and onions in an overly sweet sauce—no spice whatsoever. My fried rice consisted of nothing more than rice drowned in soy sauce. I did notice some traditional Chinese dishes on the menu that piqued my interest, but given our experience with the basic offerings, I would be hesitant to try anything else.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at this restaurant. The lighting was dim and cozy, which created a comfortable environment. They did seem a bit short-staffed, but that's pretty common these days. I ordered the orange chicken, and it was just average for me; I prefer white meat, while theirs uses dark meat. My husband tried the spicy tangy chicken, but he didn't find it very satisfying. Our son got the General Tso's chicken, and it was decent. However, the standout dish was the pork fried dumplings—absolutely amazing! They had great flavor, and the dipping sauce was perfect. They were fried to a beautiful golden perfection. The egg drop soup was also quite tasty. On the other hand, the wonton... View menu
