Wonderful House Chinese Restaurant(Aztec,NM)

A VERY REASONABLE restaurant to grab lunch or dinner. My mother & I went for dinner yesterday 07/05/25 the service slowly started to pick up. We were greeted & seated quickly. We took some time to review the menu, ordered & shortly it came out hot & delicious VERY flavorful. The portions are well WORTH the money. The servers are polite, attentive & always moving & staying up to pace with customer refills for drinks and packing up your meal for you which is VERY COURTEOUS now a days since not many places do that anymore. The look inside is a bit like your mom & pops kind of atmosphere, the booths have a suede cover on all the seats. If we are in the area again we will gladly be back. Give them a try! 🌶🫛🍄‍🟫🥦🍖🍲

Most genuine, kind and caring restaurant I have ever been to. The food was also excellent but the people made it even better. The portions were large and inexpensive; excellent flavor and very fresh. I broke my leg last night and subsequently fell again on it this morning so I was in a lot of pain and they made every extra effort to make sure I was comfortable. They also went out of their way to help me to the bathroom and could easily exit the side door to get in my car. Thank you for your kindness to me as well as a excellent meal before my long drive home ❤️

So much food! The lunch special is more than just filling, it's great tasting food! The language barrier is there but they more than make up for it in politeness. I've never been to China but I would have to imagine this is as authentic as it gets. Lo Mein tasted fresh and a side of squid was seasoned and fried to perfection. Thank you for a great meal

Delicious food and hefty portions. Recommended to go during lunch to get more bang for your buck.

Wow, this place is amazing. It truly is a 5 start Chinese restaurant. Greetings in Chinese are the best when I walk in the doorway to this place. The staff is very kind and polite, the food was super delicious. My food was cooked perfectly and couldn't get any better. Really, this place should be known about its food and service here. The amount of food given to you here, wow. I never took leftovers from a Chinese restaurant ever. You definitely need to try this spot it's a 6 star restaurant 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 here, and there is a menu for lunch. Omg I'm so stuffed, right now. It's time for a nap. Thank you very much for such a wonderful, great experience here. I'm definitely coming back tomorrow.

I had the combination special for $10.95. It came with soup, egg roll, fried rice, broccoli beef and a small piece of bbq foil wrapped chicken.Well worth it with more than enough to eat! Service was great! Prices very reasonable.

Most amazing Chinese food i have had in a long time. Great service, great selection and great food. Was just what we needed after a long day.

Good basic chinese food. Clean. Large portions. Easy parking. Ladies room had one working toilet. Drinks $3. Jasmine tea was delicious. About $40 for two with tip. They do a very busy take out service.

We love coming to wonderful house. Food is wonderful. We are originally from California so their Lo Mein is the closest to the chow mein we are used to. The orange chicken and kung pao are delicious. Service is wonderful, the servers are very attentive and helpful. Ambiance is very relaxing and perfect for family gatherings or friendly hangouts. We love coming here. One dish is plenty for two people.

Food was great, service also great, recommended by a friend. We were fishing the SanJuan River. From my experience most New Mexico restaurants are sub par, this ws a wonderful exception

The food is the best around the Tri city area. Service is always excellent and it's always busy so you know it's the place to eat at.

Service is always friendly and quick. I have ordered many dishes and love each one that I have ordered. The friend rice is delicious; the Singapore Noodle dish is super tasty. Moo goo gai pan is yummy. I also like their dumplings and their won ton soup and hot and sour soup. They are only closed on Mondays. I recommend this restaurant.

I've eaten their food and it's not that great only cheap. The dishes aren't always the same when you order, one day it's this, the next it's something else but it comes with the same name. Leftovers are not Chinese.

The hostess/owner/lead waitress is one of the best I ever had. She curated us through the ins and outs of their expansive menu and we had amazing dishes. A hole in the wall, with truly great food with huge lunch portions: you won't go away hungry! Vegetable and chicken dishes are go tos!

We haven't patronized this establishment for quite a few years because their food turned into garbage. When the original owners started the restaurant it was the place to go for Chinese food. After it changed hands the food and restaurant started to decline. When you enter the restaurant it looks like a dump and smells like very used gym socks. The other night we decided to order some food to take out. The place hasn't improved in the years since we last bought food there. The restaurant still smelled bad and looks very dated. The food was only good to make a turd and sealed the deal never to order as much as water there again. Drive past this dump. For real delicious Chinese food drive to Bayfield Colorado and eat at Haungs. Very clean and delicious!

Great food. We had the orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, lo mein, crab ragoon, egg rolls, and fried rice. Everything was cooked great. It wasn't greasy or killed in sauce. I read about this place in an albuquerque foodies group, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

Garlic chicken lunch special very good. Hot and sour soup good. Service always good. They are back to being consistent.

Food from Wonderful House was absolutely delicious, phone orders are a little difficult because the staff can't understand almost anything. Restaurant is clean, well kept, and I honestly would recommend dining in.

Really enjoyed our dinning experience. The lemon chicken was so delicious. The staff was very friendly.

These people that run this restaurant are literally the hardest working food crew and they are NEVER ever rude! The food is the ALWAYS GREAT! Consistent and YUMMY! Chinese food is NOT the healthiest cuisine but when we go there I don't care....the calories are worth an AWESOME dining experience!

Love this place. We have been getting foor from here for a very long time. Even when the diningroom was closed due to Covid, we would call in our orders and pick them up. The lady that answers the phone knows me as soon as I give her my phone number and is always pleasant to me. The food is so yummy! I normally get House Fried Rice but also love General Tsos Chicken as well Sesame Chicken. My husband enjoys their Chicken Lo Mein.

Food has a very rank taste... like indescribable... the last 3 times we have gone after not eating there for around 7 years, each member of the household made rounds to the restroom... do not recommend.

I Loved going here before Covid. My daughter and I went all the time. Good food, great service. But, since 2020, they closed down the lobby, and only do take-out. My daughter and I did take out a couple of times, good food, but not the same experience, so we stopped going. When my adult son (who was in the Army) would come for Christmas we always went to Wonderful House. It was Our Tradition. That is no longer.

2 stars because they said they do not make egg drop soup to go with lunch special, its only included for dine-in only....Funny tho because they were only open for take-out. Anywho, food wasn't all that great, maybe it was just what I ordered. Next time I'll order something different.

Literally we don't understand where the good reviews are coming from? They only do takeout at this time and the place smelled and the dining room was in disaray. The FOOD not only was BAD, it wasn't edible. Literally, so salty and tasted soapy. I took the food back in and sat it on the counter and asked them to throw it away. I really can't even tell you how bad it was. Sweet sour chicken, dry chicken pieces that were breaded with a side of sweet and sour, so it didn't really permeate. The side rice was just plain dry and tasteless. Almond chicken, was SALTY chicken with pieces of uncooked celery and topped with sliced uncooked almonds, hence "Almond Chicken". Honestly, don't waste your money. They didn't act surprised when I brought it back, didn't apologize, didn't offer a refund. Something is wrong. It also isn't clean. Health Department needs to stop in.

Excellent, very traditional Hunan restaurant: egg fu young, chop suey and chow mein, plus a few vegetarian options. I enjoyed the orange chicken, a new dish for me. Imagine my surprise when I bit into a piece of orange peel! Not as spicy as I had imagined, and made with silken tofu, rather than the extra-firm tofu I had expected. My companion's sweet and sour combination featured three giNORmous shrimp in a platter full of pork and chicken with the usual delightful sauce. We split an order of vegetable delight: straw mushrooms, perfect water chestnuts and bean sprouts with enough of the other vegetables to satisfy even me. Austin, TX should offer such attentive service! A fully satisfying experience.

Good service attitude. The food was prepared accurately and deliciously, hot and fresh. The portion is also reasonable and adequate. The restaurant hasn't opened for dine-in yet in late April 2022, offering take-out only. They packed everything well, tightly sealed, no leaking. Easy parking. Good experience.

Best Chinese food in this area. The Lo-mein is delicious and good for a meal by itself. Takeout was great and my order was ready in the time they had said. The fried rice wasn't my favorite, but still good too.

Good food, anxious for them to open up for inside dining again. Always ready when they say it will be. Food nice and warm when I pick it up.

This restaurant is take out only. They are not using the dining room at all. As a first time customer I walked in to read the menu. Quite a few choices. I ordered an entrée and house fried rice. Order was prepared fairly quickly, mostly because other orders were out the door and my order was the only current order. The quality of ingredients was good. My order was definitely bland. House fried rice had good ingredients and was more moist overall than expected. Hubby and I feel the prices are higher than a takeout only restaurant should charge. Too expensive considering I need to take it home and do the setup, serving and cleaning.

This my favorite Chinese food in the area. Food is fresh. Always high quality ingredients.

Best Chinese food around, my shu rocks twice cooked pork is awesome just go eat there, why do I need to type more to submit my review? Damnit yelp

This place is good and consistent. I have ordered here many times and have never been disappointed.

It's okay. I find the food is somewhat bland. The interior is adequate and clean. I was not "wowed" by the cuisine. It tastes like expensive fast Chinese food. Meh.

I love Wonderful House! Decent take out Chinese food at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend!

"Wonderful House? That sounds Asian," I quipped to my wife, who was reading off the exceptionally limited lunch options available in Aztec, New Mexico. And of course I was right, it's a Chinese joint. Restaurant titles like Wonderful House win me over instantaneously, they're so endearing. I try to picture the owners (invariably a sweet, enterprising first-generation couple) having that initial conversation, I'd love to be a fly on the wall. "Wonderful House. What do you think of Wonderful House?" "Wonderful House? Oh, that's wonderful! Yes, yes, Wonderful House!" And this is a wonderful little place to find in these parts. It's everything you've learned to love in American Chinese, from the (orange?) egg drop soup to the delicate decorations, zodiac paper placemat and friendly, overwhelming service. Another review mentions a "small army" of employees, it's so true, they're all standing at attention throughout, awaiting your every wish. Clean, streamlined, and neighborhood friendly, we got in just before church got out; on Sundays expect a crowd. Unfortunately, neither my wife nor I are very big fans of American Chinese. Deep fried meat nuggets covered in sweet sauces and soupy, bland shrimp 'n broccoli just don't do much for either of us. Don't let that stop you, though; this is likely the best you'll find around these parts. I mean, come on, how could you skip a visit to Wonderful House?

There weren't a lot of choices in Aztec, New Mexico. This one was given good marks so we tried it. We weren't disappointed. We had hot and sour soup to start that tasted very good. I would get this again. We had pot stickers that were very fresh tasting. For entrees we had orange tofu and pan fried noodles with shrimp, beef and chicken, lots of veggies. My only complaint would be the pan fried noodles, they weren't pan fried. More like lo mein even she this dish was tasty.

Great food, fast service, large portions - it's a great place. My parents use to eat here and enjoyed it and I do, as well. Great for pick up, food is ready when I arrive.

The restaurant is pretty standard. You have a menu with pictures of mostly all the meals and it's what you'd find in any other Chinese restaurant. The place is clean and the staff is friendly but speak very little English. The food came out so fast I can only assume it's all pre-cooked. I had orange tofu and asked for extra steam broccoli to balance out my food being drenched in orange sauce. Overall the place is good and filling.

Great authentic Chinese food at the right price. Loved the Fried Squid. For spicy lovers, the Hunan Triple Delight has quite a kick while theWonderful House Special is great tasting with the right mix of scallops, shrimp, chicken, pork bbq and a variety of vegetables.

Don't let the plain, unassuming 'strip mall' exterior fool you. The food is excellent. The staff is very friendly and they are pleasantly accommodating for people with food sensitivities. I can't eat gluten (or have MSG), they told me what menu choices were going to work for me. I had the sesame chicken with steamed rice and it was fantastic! Also, the interior was very clean. Even the restrooms were immaculate. *more info from my "tip": If you have Celiac, then it's still way too risky in my opinion. But I think any restaurant that isn't DEDICATED Gluten Free, or at the very least has a dedicated GF space in the kitchen AND an educated staff just is NOT worth the risk.

Always great food and service! Food is prepared and delivered in a fast and timely manner

Wonderful House, great name, this is American Chinese at its best. I can't say it's authentic since I've never been to China, but it's pretty good even for gluten free items. The sesame chicken is good, not overly sticky gooey like some places, the vegetarian noodles are ok, a little oily. We love the egg rolls. The egg drop and hot n sour are tasty, not overly salted. Friendly with great customer service.

I ordered the Wonderful House Special. It's a meal that includes shrimp, scallops, BBQ pork, beef, chicken, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and snow peas in a wine sauce, however, what i received when my take out order arrived was chicken and beef smothered in about 2 lbs of fried rice! So disappointing to pay for premium dish and get something that's worth half. =(

I enjoyed the food. When they came and brought me my food the waiter moved my empty glass out of the way and i had to get up and find someone to give me a refill. it was my first and probably my last time going in.

We had take out tonight. Wonderful House special, teriyaki chicken and sesame chicken with fried rice. The Wonderful House special and the rice were very good but the chicken dishes tasted like they used left over chicken. The chicken was way over done and dry. Tsk tsk!

Great service and food. Aztec is lucky to have such a great Chinese Restaurant. The Employees are fast, friendly and accommodating. Better than any Chinese restaurant in Farmington and it's clean .

Excellent and friendly service and the food is always hot and fresh. All the standard American Chinese dishes, and good lunch specials. I eat here at least a couple of times each month.

Whoa! I would come back here in a second. We had hoped to have New Mexican food, but on a Sunday there were very few places open. Wonderful House is very nice inside, and there is a small army of Chinese employees to serve and cook for you here. The food was super good (we had kung pao chicken, garlic broccoli and moo shoo pork). The servings were very large and the vegetables plentiful and fresh. I wish we had a Chinese place this good at home!

The friendliest people and the best Hot n Sour soup! This is our lunch place on Sundays after church. I look forward to going there every week.

Love Wonderful House. But it's only about 12 miles from Farmington not 40. My favorite Chinese in the four corners area.

Wonderful? Maybe Very Good After traveling for a few weeks in New Mexico, we were happy to eat something other than the local version of Mexican food. So Chinese was a nice change. Wonderful did a nice job with that. Portions were large and prices reasonable. There could have been more chicken within the heavy breading of the chicken with orange. So...it was a little short of wonderful. But still very good.

Fantastic restaurant with great service and delicious food. Appetizers were hot and fresh while the house fried rice was tasty and sesame chicken hit the spot.

I have been telling people for years I wish I could find Chinese food that taste's like it did when I was a kid. I finally found it at Wonderful House. The beef chop suey was outstanding on Tuesday. And, on Saturday the beef egg foo young and pork fried rice was incredible. I live in Farmington NM and the Wonderful House is in Aztec about 40 miles away. This will be the only place I will go for Chinese food. Great food, great prices and, the portions are huge.

No liquor license, warm food and busy with patrons. Not sure why couldn't even get chili sauce or hot mustard wouldn't go back!

I had the beef and broccoli and it was way too salty. I could not even finish the meal. Should have stuck to a veggie dish or appetizers. Restaurant was clean and service was fine. We asked for a recommendation on the soup and the waiter said " I don't know you are going to eat it" should of left then.

The food here is great! Even my 2 year old loved it and he won't normally eat anything. Me and my family are from Durango Colorado and all the Chinese food in our local area is sub-par to say the least. The staff was nice and the food was great! Definitely will be coming back
