" Being from out of town, I was seeking a good Chinese meal and ended up here due to convenience. Unfortunately, the offerings didn't meet my expectations. The crab rangoon was overly greasy and lacked the signature flavor. The rest of the meal was just average. Service seemed rushed, which was a major letdown as I was looking for a pleasant dining experience after a long day. I likely won't return if I'm back in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Highland China House after hearing good reviews but left disappointed. The food was average at best with little seasoning. The fried rice wasn’t flavorful, the dumplings were small and underwhelming in taste. I was hoping for a hidden gem but instead, it felt like just another place I’d hurry out of. It’s a shame because the staff was nice and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve given Highland China House several chances, but it just does not meet expectations for decent Chinese food. The flavors are all off and the food feels lazy and often greasy. The only redeeming quality is the friendliness of the staff, but that alone isn't enough for a return visit. Next time, I plan on going elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had one of the worst dining experiences here. The food was not freshly made and tasted mostly like leftovers. The crab rangoons were over fried while the general tso chicken was way too sweet. Service was good enough, but I won't return due to the quality of the food. Disappointing overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" After a few visits to Highland China House, I must say the experience has been inconsistent. From undercooked dumplings to delightfully crispy spring rolls, it's a mixed bag. I classify it as a good backup option if I don't feel like driving far. I would need more solid experiences before strongly recommending it. Overall, it has potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" At first glance, Highland China House doesn't seem like much, but let me tell you—the flavors absolutely deliver! Their sesame chicken was one of the best I've had in town. I loved how crispy the batter was, and the sauce was just right—not too sweet and not too heavy. Portion sizes are generous, and the staff members were cheerful and helpful. It's an ideal spot for takeout, and I plan to bring my family next time. Highly recommend trying it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Highland China House was quite mixed. I loved the pork dumplings they served; they were flavorful and had a nice bite to them. The fried rice, however, was disappointing—way too oily and bland. It felt like no time or effort was put into it. The service was decent; they greeted me with a smile but they took a while to fulfill my order, but the dumplings saved the day. I'll consider coming back but with lowered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
