Chinese Takeout in Poughkeepsie, New York

I've lived in Poughkeepsie for almost 6 years now and it's no secret I love ordering takeout, especially Chinese food...LOL! I've tried food from a bunch of places but after ordering from one specific place in Poughkeepsie I knew that I probably wouldn't be ordering from any other place anytime soon because the food was amazing! China House at 298 Hooker Ave, Poughkeepsie, NY quickly became my go-to place for great Chinese takeout and you know if you've ever tried them you couldn't judge their food from the way the restaurant looked from the outside.
