Oh I love this place. I hadn’t been here in years and forgot how good they were. They’re a bit priceyer than the other Chinese restaurants in the area but their quality more than justifies the cost.

This wasn’t my first visit to China Cottage, but I haven’t dined at this location in a while. We were seated immediately and at a lovely spot next to one of the several fish tanks which was pretty cool. The menu is extensive with your typical favorites and they have authentic cuisine as well.
My husband opted for his favorite combination Lo Mein. I chose one of the Chef’s Specials, the Triple Delight. I added the “complete dinner” to my meal which added to fried rice, a spring roll and a bowl of hot and sour soup.
My soup came out first, it was delicious. A rich hot and sour soup that actually had some heat to it. The spring roll came out next, it was way too hot to eat so I left it until my food came. The dishes came out and both were very ample servings. My husband was impressed with his LoMein, he’s very picky so this was a good thing.
My Triple Delight came out in a beautiful presentation. I had asked for it spicy level 3, and they absolutely “nailed” it. The beef in this dish was melt in your mouth tender. The shrimps were large and plentiful and the chicken was tender and seasoned perfectly. This dish might be one of the best Chinese dishes I have ever had. There was so much food that I ended up taking most of it home. As usual, I have plenty for later!
The service was wonderful and we didn’t want for anything. We definitely won’t be taking so long to come back again.

My daughter and dined here a week ago. Got seated immediately and our drink order was taken. We ordered I got Pineapple Chicken my daughter got Sesame Chicken, my dinner came in about 10 minutes or so but my daughters dinner took more like a half hour I was done eating before she got her dinner it was ridiculous, the waiter didn’t check on us once or come over to say I’m sorry your food will be out shortly. This was one of my moms favorite places to eat, I’m hopythe Huber location has better service.

The food is the best in the area! We’ve tried many places in Kettering., and they all pale in comparison to China Cottage. We usually get carry-out so not sure about the atmosphere, but it seems authentic when I walk in.

Food is 10/10 super delicious and prices are fair for the portions. Crab rangoon was a bit oily but tasty. The pineapple chicken and broccoli beef were delicious! Service is pretty slow and unorganized. They try to upsell you and check to make sure you tipped before you got out of your seat. Fish tanks water looks dirty and that’s the first thing you see when you walk in but overall I highly recommend eating here!

We went here on a Tuesday evening and were immediately seated. The staff was very nice, especially our waitress. The food took a while to come out but we loved it! The crab rangoons were the best I’ve had and I noticed everyone around us had ordered some. The sweet and sour chicken was good but was different from what I’m used to. I plan on trying out something different next time. If you’re looking for a fancier Chinese meal I recommend coming here.

I’d like to express how absolutely awful the old skinny lady with the grey hair was towards the employee who was waiting on the section we were sat in. You are repulsive and if you had grabbed my arm like you did that servers you would have been picking yourself up off that floor. First off we came in for OUR FIRST AND LAST TIME! We walk in they’re busy and this old grey haired lady was having an argument with the lady handling take outs so she took over 10 minutes to seat us (that’s fine no big deal) we sat down and was excited that they had a good menu and a soup I can only find back in my home state. Then a BOMB went off. The server who was new was running around like a chicken with her head cut off doing the best she could and here comes the old lady with the grey hair yelling at her in front of everyone that her customer didn’t sign the receipt which is when she grabbed her arm and started walking her to the door to chase down the customer instead of just doing that herself as busy as this girl was..that was repulsive to witness. The server looked as though she was about to cry due to being humiliated in front of her tables. The old lady sat down by the bar and continued to watch her like a hawk as she was struggling to keep up and didn’t even bother to step in and offer an ounce of help. The server got 4 tables orders and started bringing out food. She accidentally sat someone’s appetizers on our table and we just said we didn’t order that as she was apologizing and I reminded her she didn’t need to apologize and that it was ok and she attempted to take it to the table it belonged to when the old grey haired lady came rushing up and took it from her scolding her as to why she brought it out of it didn’t belong to us and continued with her absolute disregard for not only the customers but the server she was degrading. This went on and on until we just decided to get boxes and we left. I gave that girl a nice tip and my phone number because I can hire her and treat her much better than this place was. Because of this repulsive behavior I gave my review because the server was great as she was literally doing her best while being humiliated over and over again. As for me and mine we will never return and I will make it my absolute best effort to spread the word via social media and to my large group of acquaintances!! That old lady needs to learn some respect for her employees! DO BETTER AND YOU WONT HAVE TO HIRE PEOPLE!!

Didn’t eat at the restaurant. Our order was wrong. It seems like every time we carry out something is wrong or left out. My husband placed an order. Instead of hot and sour soup he was given egg drop soup which neither of us eat. The food we ordered was good.
We are long time customers and most likely will not order carry out again. Someone needs to review the order prior to taking it out for carry out.

Went here for dinner. The place was not busy. We were seated immediately. The staff were friendly and polite but the service took a bit of time. Coming to the food: we got the Appetizer sampler. It was presented really well. The spring rolls, crab Rangoon and bbq pork were really good. We got the Kung Pao Shrimp (4/5) it was good but lacked the flavor punch I was looking for. They have limited noodles options. So be prepared. Overall a decent place.
