48 Best Chinese Restaurants near Hockessin

“My wife and I lost our Chinese takeout restaurant which recently closed so we were forced to find a new place. We recently ordered our food from New Dragon. I waited until I ordered food at least five or six times before leaving this review. I can say that New Dragon has very good food, it's consistent in appearance and taste, and each time we got it, the portions were very generous. We order the pepper steak, chicken & broccoli, spare ribs, Wonton soup, steamed dumplings, roast pork fried rice, and roast pork lo mein , and all the dishes were very good. Their spare ribs are excellent quality with more meat and little fat and they're covered in a delicious sauce. The people who serve you are very nice and you can see into the kitchen where the food is prepared and we found the kitchen to pretty neat and clean. I can recommend New Dragon.“

“This is far by the best “Takeout”Chinese food that I have found in the area since moving from New York a few years ago. I don’t know about you all, but I can taste the quality ingredients can tell the difference in preparation versus other classic takeout joints. If you need a quick easy example, get some of their wonton soup and look at the broth. That alone is an example of the high-quality preparation and ingredients that goes into the food from this restaurant. Hey…, To each their own, but I just wanted to show some respect to these guys because in my world some Chinese takeout is a pretty nice and important thing every now and then.“

“I just had the pleasure of eating here for the 1st time. The service was excellent, food was delicious and the atmosphere was incredible. Loved everything. I will be back and telling friends that they definitely need to experience this delite.“

“Had a great meal at ugly dumpling, greeted with great service right away! Service was personable and accommodating to my stroller and a high chair for toddler. The establishment is extremely clean and beautifully designed. Waitress was helpful in assisting with menu, family style small plates, 3-4 plates for a couple suggested. We loved the dumplings with spicy sauce on side and sesame noodles. So fun to see everyone working on hundreds of beautiful, delicate, and delicious dumplings! 🥟 thank you ugly dumpling team!“

“Spare Ribs Platter is slammin', and steamed dumplings are great too! Egg rolls are solid. Sweet and Chicken's good. Also recommend the vegatable mai fun!!

There is a small wait after 6 pm, but the cooking staff are fast, and the woman at the front is a wizard. She cooks, answers phones, yells at the guys on occasion, and moves like LIGHTNING!

This stuff I can't make up!!“

“I live in pike creek and I have a Chinese place near me. I recently purchased food from this place and ohhh man! I will continue to drive the extra miles for this place! The food compared to the place next to me has won my heart! The place is very friendly, I don’t know the man’s name at the front but he was extremely friendly. So friendly I had to tip him!“

“Decent food for low prices 👍🏽🍜
I don’t know how but your food will be ready within 10 minutes ⏰
It’s like they start cooking as they’re taking your order over the phone!!
No space inside for dining, which is fine because the building has quite a small footprint and is in need of an update.
Order takeout and find a nice place to eat your lunch!
Recommend: HOUSE FRIED RICE“

“My literal favorite take out place, probably ever. Beef & broccoli, gen tso tofu, spring rolls, and egg fried rice, all delicious. Gen tso tofu has other vegetables in addition to broccoli, which I've never encountered before. I love it. I will make many efforts to keep giving them business.“

“We picked up dinner at China Kitchen for the first time this week to support our son's FBLA fundraiser that China Kitchen graciously supported. The food was amazing. We will definitely be back soon and recommend it to all our friends and family. We love 'finding' new spots for take out, and China Kitchen is definitely on the rotation!“

“Yum!!! 3 roll special The house bread was to die for Love the lighting and atmosphere Will be back for sure!“

“It was nice to have dinner inside a restaurant. You could see the care of clean up, the guests were spaced nicely. Our meals were fresh, full of flavor, and enough for a lunch the following day. Our server Pat was her ever charming self and mixes a great basil lemon cocktail.“

“Very nice owner. Has a loyal clientele, as I've often overheard her greeting customers by name. :-) Their eggplant in garlic sauce and sesame tofu are my go-to's (I don't eat meat). Their sesame tofu has a nice crispy-not-too-soft texture, which I love. They always ask if you want sauces and chopsticks, which I really appreciate (as I don't like to avoid wasted packets and single use plastic). Take out only. The plaza that it's in can only be entered & exited on the Wilmington-bound side of Kirkwood hway.“

“Ordered from here because my normal go-to Chinese Food spot was closed early. Looks like I have found my new go-to for Chinese delivery!! Everything was delicious!!!! it arrived earlier than expected, which made my hungry self very happy! Super impressed, and I will be ordering again!“

“I was looking for Chinese food around campus and this was the best decision. The food was perfectly saucy and flavorful and they served it on a plate AND the lady gave us cups of water!! I’ve never had that at a Chinese food place and it was above and beyond. It tasted delicious and the workers were all friendly. Prices are good and the portion size is good and I ended up ordering another because it was so delicious. This is my new favorite place and I definitely will come back.“

“This Chinese food was bomb! The sauce on my chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce was amazing. I had the perfect amount of spice to give it the little kick without being overly spicy. The shrimp fried rice was very small, but very good. I had a decent amount of shrimp in it and had very good flavor. The rice was not greasy. I took off a star because I got the combination platter and it was supposed to come with an eggroll, but it was not in the bag. Even though the worker behind the counter told me he put duck sauce in the bag for it.
But overall, it was delicious!“

“Yes!Thank you! delicious!“

“I get take out from here regularly. The house lo mein is really good and full of flavor. The Wonton soup lacks a little flavor in the broth but the dumplings are good.
Other food here is good too. They deliver quickly. Highly recommended.“

“The best Chinese food in Wilmington, Delaware!!!!!! I get the fried gizzards and fried rice!! You don't have to add anything to it for flavor!! Egg foo, general TSO, rib tips and lo mien are some of my faves!!!if you want a burger they make them as well!! ( they don't use those little salad shrimp) Prices are affordable!!!!“

“I can’t believe this place is still around and Ma Po tofu is still on their special menu, what a pleasant surprise! I used to visit this place 20+ years ago and the food and service were always good, will take my kids here when I get a chance in the future!“

“I order here several times but today I ordered the pineapple mango smoothie and it was one if the best smoothies I had in a very long time. You can taste the freshness of the mango and pineapples. I gave it to my son and even he stated it was great Dad...

You must come try their smoothies and teas if you are close by to enjoy the freshness and best quality products and service in Delaware. I give them 10************“

“Hong Hing is nothing less than a temple of food, worthy of reverence. Going there feels like a sacred ritual, where my taste buds can bask in heaven on Earth. This time I indulged in Mongolian beef, and I must say it was nothing short of divine. Also, the staff were very friendly. I also liked the atmosphere because they had a cool picture of people on a river on the wall. Also, there was a 10lb kettlebell which added to the atmosphere.“

“Good Evening Google Family. I enjoyed my eating experience here. The food is really good here. I opted for take out. The young man that took my order was nice. I told him that I would give him and the restaurant a good review. He gave me the Q r Code paper and here I am using it. I only wish that they had brown rice. They had white rice. I prefer brown rice. I am hoping that the next time people will have a choice of Brown or white rice. I loved that my food was piping hot and it was delicious!! I ordered won ton soup, 8 shrimp with broccoli and an egg roll. I asked for more shrimp because establishments tend to be skimpy on the shrimp. I paid for the extra shrimp and it was worth it!!! I will definitely return here to eat in the future. No places to sit, this is not a dine in restaurant, only take out. Don't forget to work out, be healthy, fit and Fabulous!!!!“

“I've been ordering from here for 5 years now. The food is always delicious and the staff is fantastic. Tonight, I made a mistake when ordering through DoorDash (I was feeling like a lazy night in). A lady called me and was very helpful in getting it straight. I definitely recommend to others.“

“Rice has long been our go-to place in DE for sashimi: thick cuts (as they should be), always fresh, expertly prepared. We love the wonton soup and fried rice as well, and everything we've tried from the non-sushi menu has always been a cut above. Everything tastes prepared fresh that day; the vegetables are crisp; it's never overloaded with salty, gooey sauce. So many places just cover up mushy vegetables and old rice with sugar-heavy sauce because it's what we Americans expect, but this restaurant seems to actually care about putting out quality. The staff is always courteous, too. Thank you for the lovely Valentine's Day meal my husband just brought home. You all are doing a terrific job.“

“The lady at the front was very patient, courteous and understood what I needed. The food was excellent and had the right spice as I had requested. Will definitely come back. She even gave me a plate to eat inside the restaurant. Never had that kinda hospitality in a Chinese takeout.“

“I never leave reviews but this place was literally so much more than I expected. There was only one woman in there working by herself and she killed it. Even tho I live a little far the food was still hot, crispy, and good when i got back, definitely will be back again.“

“I've been coming to Joy Garden for decades now - living right around the corner and moving in to my childhood home has allowed me to share with my family some of the restaurants that I've always loved.Joy Garden was always a reminder of the way Chinese Food should be. I've traveled a lot over the years and I always find myself comparing other restaurants to this place. No one has been able to live up to them.With that being said, I've noticed a definite down-turn in quality in the past few years. This restaurant has been run by the same family for several decades - I always recognize the woman who I've seen for years, who is always a joy to speak with, and I've even now met her son taking orders, which is always a pleasure to see the family continuing the tradition of their hard-worked business!I believe that the economy has caused an uptick in cost; however, the increase combined with a lower-than-expected quality has been a sad disappointment. The restaurant is in dire need of revamping, and I would normally be able to look past this for quality food, but I'm left lacking from what they used to be.Perhaps changes in food regulations have contributed to recent changes, possibly Covid issues have affected the way things are done... this restaurant still offers "steamed chicken dumplings," which are near-impossible to find elsewhere... but things simply aren't the same.I couldn't imagine finding another place to satisfy my needs, but rising prices, lack of transparency regarding pricing and an overall change of food-quality, I cannot in good conscience rate them as highly as my nostalgia would wish.I wish these folks the best and hope for better days. I will still continue to patronage this establishment but hope they find a way to bring things back to their golden age so that generations more can enjoy the quality that I had come to rely on.Please do continue to support these wonderful people, as they are truly great what they do!“

“This was my first time ordering from them and I will continue to do so. Their prices are reasonable, the food is fresh and the place is clean. This restaurant is out of my way and completely opposite to where I live but it’s worth the drive. I haven’t enjoyed hot and sour soup like that in years and the chicken with mushrooms was delicious. There was a lot of huge, tender pieces of chicken, the vegetables were cooked perfectly. My husband really enjoyed his chicken with broccoli as well.“

“I've been a regular here for years, and this place never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can tell it's authentic Chinese cooking , not overly commercial or watered down like a lot of places these days.
One thing I really appreciate is the generous portions. You always get great value for your money, and it’s clear the owner isn’t just trying to squeeze every dollar out of customers. Unlike some places that cut corners to maximize profit, here it feels like the focus is on quality and making people happy. That kind of integrity is rare.
Highly recommend this spot , it's not just a restaurant, it’s a place that’s built on pride, honesty, and real food.“

“I highly recommend the guo bao rou (sweet and sour pork) and the liu rou duan (sautéed pork) at this restaurant. It’s probably the best Northeastern Chinese cuisine in the Greater Philadelphia area. I heard from the owner that they might be selling the place soon, so make sure to enjoy it while you can. Don’t miss out on this gem!“

“Tried a Chinese authentic restaurant in Maryland where the have the hot pot tray with whole fish like sea bass and tilapia so I was looking for a Chinese Sichuan restaurant and I found this one; tried it, it wasn’t as great as the Maryland tea but came close, now it’s our to go since it’s closer than Maryland. Their skewers are great to the egg plant; will try other menu as well.“

“I found out about New Number One through a friend of mine who hosts community-building jam sessions in the restaurant, and they have become one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is not only prepared quickly, but tastes amazing. And to allow my friend to use their space to foster a tightly-knit community with the shared interests of good music and good food is nothing short of spectacular.“

“My family and I have been ordering from here for years. We usually do take-out. Some times it's hard to place an order over the phone. But the food makes it worth the trouble. Place is always busy and because of that the food is always fresh. The owners are very nice and always try their best to satisfy the customer.“

“If you’re looking for the gold standard of crispy tofu, look no further than No. 1 China. Their tofu is everything you want it to be: perfectly golden on the outside, with a satisfying crunch that gives way to a tender, flavorful center. The sauce clings to each piece just right—bold, savory, and slightly sweet without overpowering the tofu’s natural texture.

What impressed me most is consistency: every bite is crisp, not soggy, and the portions are generous. Paired with fresh broccoli and fluffy rice, it’s a balanced dish that feels both hearty and clean. I’ve had tofu from countless places, but this version stands out as the kind you crave again and again.

No. 1 China proves that tofu and vegan food can be a star on its own. Absolutely worth a visit if you’re a tofu lover—or even if you think you’re not!“

“We had a wonderful evening at this buffet. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly, and the service felt warm and thoughtful. As soon as my kids started eating, they couldn’t wait to play the claw machine. After catching one toy, they got so excited and kept trying to get another one — the owner was very kind and gave them a delightful surprise. The crabs tonight were also delicious. Thank you for giving us such a satisfying and enjoyable dinner experience.“

“Didn't go in person, we ordered online. Food was delivered 30 minutes EARLY, we were amazed! Everything was delicious; it all tasted freshly made (vs. stuff that's been on the stove for hours.) The chicken in the chicken-fried-rice tasted like REAL chicken. I could taste all the vegetables in my Shrimp with Chinese vegetables dish. (Very often those things are basically tasteless if they've been simmering too long). All in all a very nice surprise. Glad they've re-opened.“

“the lady is very quick on her feet because it can get pretty busy so sometimes she comes off disrespectful which is the only thing i don’t like. other than that the foods good and cheap. if you don’t mind a bit of attitude over the phone it’s no big deal. i say over the phone because whenever i pick up the food she’s a sweetheart. would recommend and don’t put your phone on speaker cause she can’t hear you !“

“Fried chicken is worth buying 2 or 3 of for yourself. Good people and have never had anything bad from here. Everything I've ordered which is almost everything on the menu has been great. Only place I order from when it comes to Chinese food“

“Fantastic food at a reasonable price. The staff is also 1st class.“

“Best Chinese food on Main, they have a mix of Chinese-American dishes but also more traditional Chinese food, specifically tons of Sichuan cuisine. It's so good! the Portions are always so huge too. If you're new to traditional Chinese, start with the more Americanized dishes first, but experiment!
P.S, do not be alarmed by lack of American-style restaurant service, its just how it is here, the food is great. Half of the bad reviews are about that lol and they dont understand cultural differences“

“Best wings in delaware hands down always cooked perfectly and their sauce is awesome. Can't really suggest any other food from there. Haven't tried it. Don't let the comments about bad beef and broccoli deter you from the wings. To me ordering beef and broccoli at this establishment just doesn't make any sense. It's like getting a taco from an italian restaurant.“

“Best Chinese food in New Castle hands down. Disregard any of the negative reviews, as they mostly read petty and childish. This place does exactly as they state and serves outstanding and fresh Chinese take out. The general tso and spicy shrimp and chicken are excellent and packed with quality ingredients. It is run by two really nice folks who seem to enjoy what they do! Easy 5 star review.“

“Ive never had a problem with my orders. I always get the c21. The hot n spicy shrimp combo. I get extra shrimp, extra extra mushrooms n onions. I get shrimp lo mein instead of the fried rice. They're always very nice as well! It always comes very hot and they are very generous portions. My one meal lasts for 3 meals. Definitely recommend them!“

“I love it, the waitresses are very friendly and the food is very delicious but they need to put changing mats for the babies in the men's and women's bathrooms, because it is uncomfortable to go out and change their diapers in the car and even more so in the cold.Far from that everything is very good“

“I’ve been coming to Kampo Garden on greenback Road for many many years. This is hands-down my favorite place for Chinese food. The owners are amazing. I think they may have changed hands over the years, but the owners now are amazing. They’ve been there for quite a while. The only reason that I gave 3 Stars for atmosphere is because it’s pretty much a takeout place and not a dine in place. I love it.“

“Not the greatest, but certainly not bad.
Decent price for decent food that is made SUPER quick ?
Located in a convenient area, I recommend stopping by for a meal on your lunch break or in-between errands ??
Not really a place for dinner and there’s very little room to sit inside.
One suggestion I have is to update the menu pictures inside the restaurant, they look 15 years old!“

“Always good“

“Small place, mostly for takeout or delivery - I've tried many other places, but Great Wall has been my go-to when I get a craving, for 16 years. My family has never had complaints like some other reviews. Would be nice if the place got fixed up a little more, but even with delivery the food is always super hot and freshly made!
