Nee House Chinese Restaurant

Excellent, authentic with top rated food and service. Steve was cheerful, friendly, knowledgeable, and humble. Staff was supportive. I had Singapore noodles vegan style with snow peas, cabbage, broccoli, onions, and water chestnuts. The vegetables were tender and had a good texture, not soft or soggy. The curry was flavorful and had a subtle zing. If you like meat, it's really good as it was my favorite before going vegan. All the food here is good, and there's a reason it's voted one of the Best in the valley. This is a bustling family place much loved by locals. There were many to go orders. I went before the rush. Ample parking in a large strip mall on a busy intersection. Enjoy.

This place serves legit Cantonese food. My family has been coming here for almost 20 years and the food has remained consistently good. Service is efficient and friendly, food comes out super fast and hot. Our family favorites are the salt and pepper fried squid and the snow pea shoots. Their garlic eggplant is good, too. The decor has not changed but that’s what makes it feel authentic!

The best and most delicious Cantonese style Chinese food in Arizona. The ingredients are so fresh, the variety is plenty, and the portions are big. I'm from Hong Kong, and I'm very picky about the seafood and Chinese food I eat. Nee House delivers outstanding quality every single time, and I've been going there for more than a decade. The quality remains excellent! Just celebrated Chinese Luna New Year there today with my Dad. We ordered an entire 4-lb crab (live from the fish tank), snow pea leaves, Mongolian beef, wanton soup, Singaporean noodles, and tofu with dried scallop (my favorite), and we enjoyed every single bite of the food!

I believe we have tasted just about everything on the menu and it’s all been delicious. We bring people there who end up going on their own afterwards because they love it so much. The food is always very fresh tasting. I highly recommend the wonton soup. It’s got shrimp and meat in it and the wontons are delicious. My favorite is the bang bang shrimp, which has a good spice to it. I also recommend the duck, which was very tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant.

It’s what you would expect when you want great Chinese food at reasonable prices in Scottsdale. We’ve been trying various Chinese restaurants and nothing has come up to the same level as what you may expect on the West Coast cities. But this place is great! My family and I ordered House special fried rice, salt and pepper pork chops, and beef chow fun noodles. All for just $48 total. Everything was hot, big flavor and great portions. We got our order To Go so can’t rate the service, but the decor is “traditional”. Will be back to try other dishes.

Not great food, we ordered take out. Wonton's had little to nothing in them. Just over fried shells bent in the middle. Beef fried rice was OK, very little egg in it. Beef and broccoli was not horrible but not great either. Lacked flavor. The orange chicken was the least desirable, with lots of sugar and not much chicken

The food here is almost always good... just not great. That being said, it is by far the best chinese restaurant we have found in the Scottsdale area. The wonton and hot and sour soups have good flavor. Orange chicken is a go-to. Unfortunately, none of the dishes marked spicy actual are... but they tend to have good flavor. We have also noticed an inconsistency with the amount of meat you get when ordering the same dish. Sometimes a lot, sometimes almost none. Edit: Finally tried some of their fresh seafood dishes. Definitely recommend the Kowloon Crab!

Decided to try this restaurant based on Google reviews. I found the food totally bland. The pineapple chicken that was described as stir fried chicken turned out to be a soup. See pic. Chicken was slimy in everything we ordered. Look at the wad of chicken in the chow mein. Sorry but it's not our type of Chinese food.

I love coming to Nee house. Food tonight and every time I come here is delicious. Food comes out fast and hot. Service is quick and friendly. Food is affordable and a reasonable portion. Tonight, I had the bean curd Szechwan style with a cup of rice. It was so tasty and flavorful. It hit the right spot and was so so comforting. This dish is not too spicy but I love super spicy so I might not be the best judge. It might be hard to tell from the photo but the tofu isn't fried, it's soft. Just in case you were wondering. Hope y'all have the chance to try it.

I have fairly mixed feelings on Nee House. For instance, I had the lettuce rolls in the restaurant, and they were fabulous... but took them out and would never eat them again... We ordered some Kung Pao Chicken. We ordered the spice to be 5/5, but when we got it, it was 0/0. It turned out that KP chicken is just a bland chicken dish (1 out of 5). We ordered a steaming seafood plate.. Flavor was great, but the octopus was inedible. We did try to let the staff know (my mom's 90, it was a no-go (10/10 on the chewy scale), (I tried it, indeed it was a 10/10 on the chewy scale). The waiter was SO nice to acknowledge it was probably bad (he had such a big infectious smile as if to say; these pearly whites will make your crappy octopus go away. Well, he did nothing to solve the problem. (other than clear the plate with the heaping leftover mound of inedible octopus), and ask about dessert. Kung Pao Chicken (1/5) Steaming seafood plate (2/5) Lettuce Rolls (3.5/5) in the Restaurant Lettuce Rolls (1.5/5) Takeout Spring rolls (5/5) (spicy mustard 10/10). Service: 5/5 (not counting octogate) with octogate (1/5) Would I go back? Probably, I just have zero expectations of good food. I mean, you know how that is.. Go in with zero expectations of what will most likely be an exceptionally, if not painfully, less than average meal, and you're good.

One of the better Cantonese-style Chinese restaurants in Arizona! Parking was pretty easy since it has a big parking lot shared with Smart & Finals and several other businesses Service was pretty friendly and attentive. It was pretty small inside so there wasn't much seating Pricing was reasonable ($15-20+/dishes) Got the Fried Pork with Salt Pepper ($15.49) It was very delicious, not too greasy or too salty. Very flavorful and not too overly fried. Pretty big portion. This was 4/5 House Fried Rice ($13.99) was nothing special.. pretty bland and not much ingredients. Wish it was more flavorful and has more meat or seafood in it. Wouldn't recommend. This was 2/5 Shaking Fillet Mignon Brochette ($17.99) was very yummy. Very tender and not too salty. Wish there were more pieces since it was on the pricier side. This was 4/5 Would recommend and return

Haven't dined here since the original owners opened the doors and wanted to come back for years. While it is now under new management, I wanted to see if they were still as good as when they opened and if it was still a great place to eat at when on this side of town. My friends and I came for dinner and we ordered several dishes: Braised green beans, Salt & Pepper Pork chops, Orange chicken and Kowloon crab. Everything was good, cooked right and tasted ok. The Kowloon crab was a little different that I am familiar with, but still work the trek. The waitress and staff were friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back and try other items from their menu.

Wow this place is gooooood. The crab was so fresh and the stir fry xo sauce was flaaaavor! Poor it over steam rice perfect pairing. The crab shell was soft and they even crack the shell making it super easy to eat. My kid loved the fried rice. Salt and pepper pork chop was my next favorite, it was full of flavor as well and has a nice crispy crunch to it. Honey walnut shrimp was also spectacular. Sweet, crispy fried with flavorful sweet savory sauce. Definitely would recommend to eat here. To top it off, the service was so friendly and attentive. We all agreed we'd come back to eat, when visiting Phoenix again in the future.

Been awhile so we went back to eat here again. Still awesome! Great food, friendly staff, perfect ambience. Serene and peaceful. I had the broccoli shrimp and my brother had the Chicken Chow Fun. Both were excellent! We'll definitely come back to eat here.

Coming from the LA/OC area, this place was great! Needed some asian food while visiting Phoenix so I went and tried Nee House. Classic family owned asian restaurant with delicious food! The pecking duck was definitely my #1 favorite! The ambience is very casual as it gets packed during lunch with families. Service is most definitely a classic fast pace type service. They give the menu, your order water/drinks/food, food comes out. So don't expect too much fluff in the service! The food itself is really good and portions are enough for sharing! This makes it great for big parties or families. They do seem to have a smaller staff circle. I did see that people would have to wait until one of the servers finished serving a table to then go and seat the next party. So be prepared for a wait if the servers are serving tables! Overall, this place was an amazing find in Arizona! Amazing food trades for a fast less quality service is definitely an okay trade for me. This is an amazing classic Chinese restaurant!

Change in ownership, better service Went recently and the new owners and servers are great! The food here is real Chinese food! They serve traditional dishes along with American adapted dishes. We always get the fried pork chops but the real star of the meal is the seafood. We get the Kowloon lobster which is delicious but very expensive!

Food is great! Easy to park and get in. Good for families. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. We loved the kung pau and orange chicken.

i literally daydream about this place one of the best meals i have ever had i heard about it from a lady at my work and have been obsessed since

I might be a little persnickety here (that's a .15 cent word) but I waited a couple months after eating here to review this restaurant. We were somewhat in a time crunch when we found this restaurant, so that may have affected my review a bit, but even so, there were a few things that happened when we were there that I had a problem with: We waited a while to be seated because there wasn't anyone up front for a few minutes, and after being seated we waited about 10-15 minutes before anyone even offered us drinks, or took our order. The food was average, and not very tasty. (maybe it was just what I ordered) while we were waiting, I read some of the Yelp! reviews, and they seemed pretty good, so maybe I just caught them on an off night, and they were short staffed, but I considered leaving while we waited and my wife who was more level headed (or more hungry than me) kept me from doing that. It's not likely that if I was in the area again that I would stop in here, so take that for what you will. I'm just some schmoe on Yelp! But I do like my food, and I do like good service for my money.

My family and I get takeout from here all the time! It hits the spot. I really enjoy the general tso chicken!

This restaurant has very traditional and great tasting Chinese food. The lemon chicken, and the lobster are my favorite dishes! The restaurant is very clean, and the staff is very welcoming.

Just got take out here last week. Ordered the Kung Pao chicken, which was marked spicy on the menu but had almost no heat. Flavor was fine but really wanted spicy. The Hot and Sour Soup was spicy and delicious. Not really Mandarin style but close enough. It had Chinese black mushrooms, beef broth and was nicely flavored. I had an odd reaction in that both dishes had oddly shaped meats, pork cut long and thin for the soup and sort of oval shaped for the chicken. Not sure what that was about, but the quality was fine.

A very good night tonight. Fried wonton -- crispy. Beef with broccoli--tender and delicious. Pork chops with salt and pepper -really good. Chicken with pineapple--tender with some fruity sweetness. Chinese broccoli with garlic--delightful. And the piece de resistance is the whole lobster over 3 pounds of it in a magnificent sauce. The service was really attentive. We totally enjoyed ourselves.

Where do I even start? I'm sitting in a room of pleasant out-of-towners, apparently blessed with a complete lack of culinary taste. The appetizer - Vegetable spring roll consisting of a wet undercooked dough surrounding a filling of bland vegetables of baby-food-like texture. Main entree - "Mongolian Beef" - A large mass of sliced yellow onions (not chives) smothering slimy strips of flat steak with the occasional disruptive chew of gristle and heavily coated in black table pepper. Last but certainly not least, the ambiance. Prominently on display at eye level and six feet from me, a 50 gallon half-filled aquarium containing a dozen dead crabs, and an upside-down lobster dissolving on its back.

A pleasant dinner for us! We wanted to eat Asian food after celebrating christmas. We choose this place as we wanted to have peking duck. It was surprisingly good and the meat duck was tender, very tasty. We also ordered the Beef with broccoli and chicken chow fun. It was greatly cooked and has nice portion size. The taste was so authentic and very flavorful. It was a good dinner! Great food, nice ambiance, and friendly staff.

We are back, and the food is good. Walnut honey shrimp, you are my delight. It's the only thing I eat. They are friendly. But it does need an update.

Man, we really love the food here. Once again, I had to get the chicken chow fun. Stick with what you love! My brother got the shrimp and broccoli this time and was raving about it. The wait staff here are SO NICE! It's always a pleasure eating here.

We were right across the street from this restaurant. Once we finished our business, we decided to enjoy an early dinner. Only one other family dining which was understandable given the hour. We weren't starving and I have a small appetite so am happy sharing a meal. We decided on a plate of Hot Garlic Chicken, no onions and gentle spice. The meal arrived quickly with a bowl of rice and plates. The server lady continues with her gruff attitude. Ignore her, that's her way. The taste of the food makes up for her grumpiness. The chicken is very tender with broccoli, water chestnuts, cabbage and carrots. The spice was just right. I would have liked more garlic in the flavor. There was a surprise on the bill, a dollar charge for sharing the dish. That's a new one! The food was worth it but they should really say something beforehand in the menu or somewhere. Shared parking lot and Cox WiFi for subscribers.

First time here at the Nee House for a New Year's Eve Lunch. We ordered Hot and Sour Soup, Mongolian Beef, and Shrimp Fried Rice. Friend has been here several times so expectations were high. The soup was hot in terms of temperature, and moderately spicy and tasty. The Mongolian Beef was good, most of the beef slices were tender. The Shrimp Fried Rice was actually House Fried Rice with shrimp, chicken and beef. Mis-order apologies were accepted. Menu is large and diverse. Place was clean, server was attentive in between having her pizza slice. Food quality, portion size and price were moderate and pretty much on par with the area. Would try it again if in the immediate area. Otherwise, not a travel destination I would pursue given the many options available in Northeast Phoenix.

Something has changed in the last year. My favorite eggplant dish tasted awful the last time I got some for takeout. I had to throw it out. A family member recently went there for dinner and said it was awful. Used to be our favorite Chinese restaurant. Empty on a Friday night. We are not going back.

This has been one of my favorite go to places to get comfort takeout food from, for years now. Occasionally, we do decide to dine in. Usually, we skip the starters because we get so many main entrees. Ordering with our eyes and stomach, and not with our head is usually the common occurrence with us! Our usual favorites consist of salt and pepper pork chop, snow pea leaves, and the dried scallop and crab meat fried rice. Sometimes, we do add an additional dish or two depending on the availability of their crab, lobster, and fish. Their salt and pepper pork chop is always consistent with their flavoring. A great balance of salt with a hint of spice from the peppers. Never overcooked or too tough whenever we've ordered it. Their snow pea leaves are a classic, can never go wrong with that. Their dried scallop and crab meat fried rice? Probably my favorite dish on their menu. A fried rice that's chock full of flavor without needing soy sauce, with the perfect balance of salt and pungency from the dried scallops and crab meat really make this dish stand out. Like many other Chinese restaurants, this place doesn't offer much for ambience. The decor is simple and straight to the point, yet still comfortable at the same time. They have music playing, but not too loud to the point where you won't be able to hear each other talk. The ambience of a place usually doesn't matter to us as long as the food is delicious! Service has always been warm and friendly whenever I've come here, although it can also be a bit slow. But that probably has to do with the fact that I usually only come around lunchtime when they only have one server working the whole floor trying to handle everything while also being the only one handling take outs at the same time. Don't let this deter you from trying this place out though! Their menu offers a great variety most Chinese places in the area do not and their food is always consistent in taste. Like a friend of mine says for these types of places, "you come for the food, not for the service or ambiance."

New House is our go to when craving for Chinese food. The salted pork, house fried rice, cantonese noodles and spicy eggplant combination never fail to please the appetite and palate. I always come hungry and leave very satisfied. For special occasions, their garlic lobster or crab is amazing!!!

Terrific and authentic Chinese food. Great Lunch Special every day inc s Saturday and Sunday

Horrible service, sat us at a table through our menus down and walked away, not saying a word. Not offered water drinks nothing. Extremely cold welcoming.!! They weren't busy no one was even in the restaurant! Not a shortage of restaurants would never recommend!

New management, new attitude. Great food and service, top of my list for Chinese food around this area.

Had lunch on Saturday, service was great, we had crab with green onions sauce, the crab was nice and plump there was plenty of sauce. We had beef. Chow fun which was a little dry and needed a little salt. The snow peas leaves were full of garlic and great flavor . All in all the meal was much better . We will be back

Food is always excellent!! Clams in black bean sauce, chow fun noodles, lobster. Yummy

Great find. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was fresh and warm The decor is simple. The store was clean. Would recommend the salt and pepper pork

Great for take out and dinning in. More selection than most Chinese restaurants, including seafood.

This is my " go to " Chinese restaurant, the menu is consistent. We ordered to go for Christmas day, the Kung Pao shrimp, family fried rice, wonton soup, hot and sour soup, bok choy, and mushrooms, chicken, chow mein, and egg rolls. The food was made amazing and the service was on point I would definitely recommend this little spot, although I do think the fish tank has far too many fish in it but, that's just my opinion.

We have been coming here for many years. It's Not what it used to be. We were here 4 months ago. Something changed. Place was empty at 12:30 lunch on a Sunday... We ordered hot tea, chow fun, black mushrooms with bok choy, salt/pepper pork chops. Food.... Brought out house fried rice; we ordered House chow fun. They did rectify quickly. Food was bland. And amount served was lesser than what it used to be. Salt and pepper pork chops tasted like old meat.. My friend and I were still eating. The rude waitress came by and without any word, placed the bill, 2 fortune cookies, a plastic bag, a couple containers - and left. Did she want us to leave ?? She went back to the bar area and sat down- back on her cell phone. Maybe on TikTok or FB ‍ I miss the old Nee House... sad. I'm not coming back here..

Absolute go to spot for Chinese food. There's no reason to go anywhere else. Their Chinese food is above and beyond all others in Phoenix. In particular what stands out is the salt and pepper pork chops, snow peas, hong Kong noodles, and all of their fish dishes are outstanding. I love this place and order take out every time I'm feeling sad, happy, nostalgic, excited, nervous... pretty much all the time! If you dine in you'll find that the atmosphere is pretty quiet and chill, don't let that get to you, you're here for the best Chinese food in all of Phoenix! The service is excellent, food is always quick to come out and they always have a free table for ya! BTW if you want the Peking duck you need to order ahead, this spot usually doesn't allow for same day order of Peking Duck.

This is a cozy old school type of Chinese restaurant. This reflected in the decor, the service and the food. You can get most of the standard American style Chinese favorites, but also items you would expect in a more authentic Chinese restaurant rather than an Americanized one. The portions are ample and prices are good.

Amazing!!! Best Chinese food I've had in the valley. Shrimp is allways fresh. Chicken and beef were moist and flavorful. Noodles and rice cooked to perfection. Wor wonton soup was packed with stuff. Huge portions. The best!!!!

Ordered shrimp vegetable was very disappointed. It was bland no flavor. I asked for garlic sauce. She said they only put garlic in the mail not trying to find a way to improve the taste of their bland meal. They give Vietnamese eggrolls, a bad name. Those were terrible nothing but pork inside no vegetables nothing the only thing that was tasty there was a pickled cabbage that they had. Even their their crab Rangoons were hard as crap. Had a little filling inside nothing like , tasting any pieces of crab. That was the worst $48 I spent in a while.

This place was recommended to us for the good food and slightly rude service. Perfect, we love a good, ornery place - eat well and get out! Hey, it's all just an experience! If they're rude in order to quickly turn our tables, it must be good food to get us fed and then rushed out the door...right?? We were down for some good Chinese food and crotchety service! Walked in with no reservation, and waited about 10 minutes for a table. Upon sitting, I noticed a homeless man at a large table by himself. He seemed to be asked to leave if his "guests" weren't going to arrive soon, and another gal moved over from her single seater to join him. Shame, I was going to offer to pay his dinner but she seemed to want the company anyhow. They were right in my line of sight and it was a kind exchange. Took a while to get anyone to take our order. It was like we were invisible, servers were all around us but nobody acknowledged us. After flagging someone down for some hot tea, we finally got our order in. House Specialty Lobster: ok, first of all, there is no price so buyer beware, it was $90! Totally worth it, we would've gotten it anyhow, but I could see it being a sticker shock to someone unknowingly ordering without asking, first. Stir fried lobster in a garlicky, scallion sauce. Oh so good! They could've cracked them better before serving, since our hands were slippery from fingering out the lobster meat, making the crackers difficult to maneuver but oh well. We made it work! Jalapeño salt and pepper pork chops: a little dry from being overcooked, but really good salt and pepper flavoring. The fresh jalapeños add a nice touch. We enjoyed this, next time we'll get salt and pepper shrimp instead of pork chops, in hopes it's not so dry. Braised String Beans: I'm coming to realize that we really love our string beans in Chinese restaurants! This version here was no exception; crunchy and salty, it was great and an excellent side dish. Rice usually comes with but they forgot ours. No biggy, we don't eat a lot of rice (why would we when there's so much good food!) but they brought us some eventually. It went untouched. This place definitely makes our Scottsdale rotation but next time we will be better about asking for prices BEFORE we order. It wouldn't have stopped us but still good to know, for maybe next time the price will go up even more!

[3.6/5.0] Very solid chinese spot. Menu is very large and have lots of variety. I got the beef chow fun and thier special chicken. Chow fun was fire, the noodles had a perfect texture. The beef slices were tender and marinated well. I did taste a slice of beef that was not rinsed property. Tasted like pure baking soda. But I still love this dish no cap. The chicken was fine. Sauce was a bit too salty with not much other interesting flavors. Overall, this place is solid and I will likely come back in the future to try some of their other cantonese dishes.

What a great restaurant...best Chinese food I've ever had! More Chinese folks than in Beijing..

If anything has saved me during this pandemic, it is all the local food services available in my area, and here is yet another great discovery! Nee House is like a spot right out of Hong Kong! Disclaimer: Never been but an acquaintance has and recommended Nee to me and I was very impressed - so much that my hubs and I ate here twice in one week and had to have it again the next week and the following! The flavors are absolutely delicious and they have consistently delivered to our expectation! I will tell you, you get what you see, the duck, seafood hot pot, black bean fish, salt and pepper pork and walnut shrimp are our family house favorites and they all hit the salty, savory, sweet cravings you can imagine. All great over rice! My mouth waters as I type this! So good can't wait to have it again!

A white washed version of Cantonese chinese food with flavor profile to match, as in super bland and just overall bad. The hot and sour soup had dry chili flakes mixed in which I don't like as opposed to just white/black pepper. One extra star for mom-pop, but service was non-existent after being sat down even though there were only 2 people during lunch hour. Prices being on the high side I would have expected some service and better food. Panda might be a better option.

Not authentic at all! It sounds like it and uses the right buzz words but the taste falls flat from genuinely good or authentic chinese food. If you on are restricted diet of salt and taste, this is the place for you. Looks good but lacks any taste except the Sesame Chicken! We had 6 different main dish items including the sauted scallops, the shrimp and mushu and well, everything we ordered was just plain boring and lacking taste. we didn't even take home the leftovers. We've been here 4 times but won't be returning. pretty rude servers.

Nee House Starting to enjoy this restaurant more now that some of our go to Chinese restaurants have closed and it is conveniently close to our house. Love the Salt and Pepper Pork Chops, House Fried Rice, House Lo Mein and the Fish Fillet with Bok Choy. Probably one of the better Chinese Restaurants in North Scottsdale while not having to drive to Tempe or Chandler.

New House hit the spot! The food is delicious not salty but flavorful. Service is great and the servers are friendly. We found the hidden gem!

Well, one should take reviews with a grain of salt. But, here come my two cents: Did go a few weeks ago to order some food as I have driven by this place so many times. I did get their Kung Pao Chicken from their Lunch Menu. In my opinion a little bland and the fried rice that came with the meal was just as the meal itself. I'd probably give them a second shot, but not sure when that will happen. Reviews are only that, reviews. Maybe you'll have a better experience. Keep reviewing, my friends

Food was wonderful we did the #B for 3, authentic great service. Only reason not a 4 our guests wanted to order the Mai Tai on menu and they couldn't make that night.

The portion sizes were crazy big, had leftovers for three days! Outside of not having delivery it was one of the best take out options I've had in Phoenix in a while!

Amazing food. I had a taste for Mu Shu Pork, my favorite. I saw the reviews were good online so gave it a go. I also ordered the house fried rice. It was probably one of the best of both Mu Shu and Fried Rice i ever had. The portions are enormous and these items fed me for a week. Be sure and get a couple more pancakes. The hoisin sauce was yummy and rice was chock-a-block with pork, beef and shrimp. YUM The server was lovely and as it was early evening had a nice chat. This is a hidden little gem that will fulfill your craving too.
