Great family dinner! Our waitress was the absolute sweetest! She took her time with everything answered any questions and encouraged us to try their soups, which were all delicious, with our meals! Our meals were wonderful, appetizers were great! Our son really enjoyed getting to sit next to the fish tank! Restaurant and staff all great, we will be back!

My wife and I hadn't been here in years for some reason. Fantastic service, broad menu (but not too much). Great place to sit down and have a meal, very clean and tastefully decorated. Wonton soup was excellent, lots of great flavor. The potstickers were steamed and then pan seared, great texture and flavor. I had the Kung Pao beef, and it the beef was carefully trimmed, no stringy bits, well cooked and tender. The dish itself was not complicated by a bunch of ingredients. It was beef, mushrooms, peanuts and a well executed and well seasoned sauce.

I’ve been coming here since I was a baby I’m 27 now. No other restaurant can compare to this one. I love it so much! Very nice staff and the food is always delicious!!

We were there Xmas eve and as we're a whole lot of other people, including those waiting for carry out. We saw a host, 2 wait staff, and a chef poked his head out. So service was a little slow but they were all hustling to keep up. Our waiter amused us Iwith his commentary on the situation. We chilled and as did almost everyone else. I thoroughly enjoyed the huge gold fish in the tank next to our table. The food seemed under seasoned, but it is easier to add what it needs. You certainly can't do the reverse, eh!?!

After 20 years of coming here ; They remain the same incredibly delicious restaurant! Their prices remain more reasonable than fast food and service is almost as quick and twice as nice! Over the years I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed.

This place was amazing! Everything felt so traditional, from the interior design, the food and even the complimentary tea was spot on. All the food was delicious and I will definitely be coming back/recommending this spot!

This place still doesn't disappoint! There are a lot of Chinese places around town but few compare to Hainan House on Bluffton Rd. Go there for dine-in for the best experience. We have been coming here for years and they never disappoint! They have the best egg rolls in town. No joke. The staff is always very friendly and the food is always very good. I like the Mu Shu Pork. I order it with no pancakes to avoid some gluten in the meal. I highly recommend that you check this place out ASAP.
