About Us

Brief description

Our Philosophies: The art of Chinese cooking has been developed and refined over many dynasties. However cooking could not be considered an art until the great classical age of China 122-249 B.C., roughly the period of Qin Dynasty, the creation time of the terracotta warriors. The two dominant philosophies of this period were Confucianism and Taoism. Taoism was responsible for the development of the hygienic aspects of foods and cooking. In contrast to confusianists, Taoists were concerned with the live-giving attributes of various foods. Under Tao's influence, the Chinese have explored the world of plants, roots, herbs, fungus, and seeds over the dynasties. They discovered many beneficial food ingredients that are incorporated into the everyday Chinese cooking. Taoism was responsible for the development of the hygienic aspects of foods and cooking.

We emphasize "flavor, aroma, and taste". We also stress the healthful aspect of our dishes." We serve our food the way that nature intended it to be, “Fresh and Wholesome, Exciting and Healthy”

  • 5 Gerat buffet!

    Ok, so i may be a bit of a glutton and a bit of a porker, but that just means i know what i'm talking about when it comes to food! The buffet option at Charles House is one of the best i have sampled, lots of choice, great for vegetarians and all cooked to perfection. The service here is also equally impressive, from the moment you enter to the moment you leave. My friends regularly take their children here and they all have a fantastic time and everyone is happy! The waiting staff are great too, especially with children. Its not the cheapest, but it is one of the best!

  • 4 Charles House Chinese Restaurant

    I went here a while ago for my sisters birthday as she loves chinese. I on the other hand dont like chinese food, but my sister loves the food here and always wants to eat here. I had crispy duck and it was really nice. Everyone we went with enjoyed their food and said they would come back again. The service was good too, nice and freindly waiters. Food is a bit pricey but definately worth it.

    Even late in the evening, if you have small children with you, you get great treatment at Charles House. Excellent vegetarian/ vegan choice and decent portions of tasty Chinese food.
