My wife and I dined at this restaurant for the first time on 3/7/2024. The food was excellent and everything was freshly prepared. The restaurant was very busy, mostly with takeout orders, so we did have to wait almost 30 minutes for our food. We dined at the restaurant which was just okay, that is why this review is only 4-star. There are only four tables available and two of these are covered with condiments and toys for a child. This is therefore primarily a takeout restaurant. The prices are average and the quantity of food is significant.

Just had the chicken egg foo young and it is the best I have had in the area. The pancake was fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The gravy had amazing flavor as well just wished it was thicker. I will return!!

I always get their chicken wings, and shrimp fried rice with extra shrimp. I get this about once a week, so I figured I should leave a review because this is a restaurant that I throughly enjoy. I’ve tried plenty of Chinese restaurants and this one is the best in Delaware. The chicken is always so crispy and seasoned well, and the shrimp fried rice is always fresh. This is the only Chinese restaurant I’ve experienced that uses bean sprouts in their rice, which is a great added touch. You can tell their food is fresh, and they are not skimpy with hot sauce, duck sauce etc. The wings aren’t huge either (which is good). Honestly my favorite restaurant.

Excellent orange chicken and Mei fun! Very clean inside, too.

I ordered Beef with Garlic Sauce. This was strangely not beef, was pale, had no texture (was mush) or flavor. Gross! The General Tso's Chicken was 80% dough, and the chicken was dry and stringy. Gross again! We won't be back.

This review is accurate, but won't align with the overall rating. My fiancé and I have eaten at Chinese restaurants from San Francisco to NYC and have a handle on what good service and food look like. I was attempting to locate this restaurant for the first time having read the stellar reviews. It was dusk and they hadn't turned on their fascia sign making the storefront difficult to locate. After making a u-turn on a busy highway, I successfully located the business after taking a second run at it. After entering I stood at the counter looking at the top of a male employee's head who was engaged on his personal cell phone. After 30 seconds of standing idle a female employee in the kitchen asked "are you picking up an order?", which resulted in the male employee engaging me. I stated that I was picking up an online order and mentioned to him that I had difficulty finding the restaurant as a result of the sign not being lit. He reached over and flicked the switch for the sign. I described what I was picking up and he was able to locate the bag of food we'd ordered. I was uncertain as to whether the order had been paid for when placed and the male counter employee said "I think it's paid", which he can see in their system, but was willing to consider an additional payment, suggesting I call my fiancé to determine if it had been paid for; this raises ethical concerns. He also stated that had the order been phoned in we would've saved 30%. Good to know, but we won't be returning. Now for the food quality. My fiancé had ordered a beef based meal, beef with mixed vegetables, however neither of us could identify it as beef, chicken or pork. The texture of the meat was unfamiliar to us. I ordered General Tso's Chicken, which consisted of tiny strips of chicken so heavily breaded that the chicken flavor wasn't present. We ate about a quarter of both platters and threw the rest away. Disappointed beyond words and a total waste of time and money. We won't be back.

The sauce and taste are same for all entries and not flavorful. They don’t know what they are making and the recipe is totally different from other traditional Chinese restaurants.

Usually very good. Fresh vegetables, decent size shrimp. A little pricey, but overall I have been consistently satisfied with my orders.

Brianna Russell

This is the best Chinese takeout in the area, and the only place I would actually recommend to someone.
