50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Hockessin

“First time here and it was very good. Order was on time, put together correctly and tasty. We haven’t had good luck in the past 2 years with Chinese take out - it’s great to find a good place. Basically take out only no tables to sit at.“

“So if you want a ritzy experience this isn't for you, if you want an authentic as it's going to get in the United States with a Philadelphia Chinatown feel this is what you want. I mean I don't even want my Chinese food if there's not a kid doing homework. Got the counter and maybe a grease bucket outside. Also for you folks that have never traveled. Guess what? This is China.“

“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!“

“We've been coming here since they opened and have never had anything we didn't like. Best lo mein, dumplings, iced tea, and ramen around!“

“I'm picky about where I get things and as long as I have a say in where I go for Chinese food it's always here and has been for almost 25 years. It's not the best in the area, it's guaranteed best in the the state and most likely the best for the next 50 miles anyway outside of the delaware“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I am picky, and more so with Chinese cuisine. This restaurant is the best in the area. I have tried 5 others in the region and I will not go back to any of them. I pass 2 on my way here. China 1 reminds me of a restaurant I went to in Philadelphia that's had top ratings. I recommend the garlic wonton.“

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

“They are very welcoming and the food is always beyond delicious! The cashier is very sweet and is always gifting me things. They always make sure your food is amazingly prepared, hot, and good! Out of all chinese spots, hong hing is our preferred spot!“

“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.“

“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/we absolutely enjoy every dish we’ve ever ordered here. The owner is an absolute delight! She and her staff do a great job. They put out quality food. The amount of food at the price is spot on. Honestly they give more than they should. We’ve been coming for over a decade. We used to make a 30 ish min drive each way before. Now we live closer and are thrilled to indulge more. Give them a try. They’ll become a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly must have!!“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Vietnamese iced coffee and taro milk tea were both delicious. Onigiri, salmon and eel were both enjoyed as well as the takoyaki. Wing ding were crispy with great flavor. The golden buns were soft inside with the crunch of the outside made for a great bite. The gyoza, shiu mai both had the crunch with soft fillings, both with a burst of flavor. Singapore fried rice vermicelli was flavorful and delicious, and a large portion. We enjoyed our lunch very much (including 3 kids). Service was friendly and quick.“

“Take out only but plenty of room to wait inside for food with view of kitchen where meals are prepared. I always go with the chicken and broccoli and eggrolls - something I grew up eating and still enjoy to this day. Other favorites include pork fried rice and lomein. I’ve been coming here since 1996 and it’s always been the best essential Chinese food in the area.“

“Yes!Thank you! delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time I ordered from here, and it was REALLY good! The boneless ribs were nicely done with caramelized bits of sauce... Which I love. The broccoli with brown sauce was perfect! Steamed but crunchy. The only down side was the shrimp toast being oily, but it's the nature of shrimp toast so that's on me for ordering it. Definitely recommend, and will order from here again.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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 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.“

“We had the pig intestine stir fried dry pot, it was authentic and delicious. But the BBQ was a bit misleading. As you can see that the skewers were cooked in the kitchen and brought out and put on the heated box. Those lamb, beef and chicken skewers were delicious.“

“The staff here were really friendly and came by often to check on us. We got sitted immediately after we walked in and the place and bathroom were clean. The food was good too but they dont give itemised receipts and supposedly the tip is added automatically. The Bill for two people was about 46$“

“Service is prompt, professional, and FAST. When they give you a time, it is ready. If it is still being prepared...they apologize and you know it is fresh!
Prices are good, especially in this economy. Make sure to put the date on a menu when you receive it. Have them read your order with the prices and total, most of the time they do this without you requesting it. Sometimes people make mistakes, this eliminates that hassle.
Order EARLY in the evening, not close to closing. Food is most often fresher and has not been sitting around!
CLEAN establishment, inside and out. That is NOT EASY, given the location and state of nearby homes and streets. No trash, broken glass or oil spills, even the dumpsters are cleaned on a regular basis(no smell, none)!
There is a place to sit and eat, or wait for your order.
No restrooms, do not ask.
Every container is full to bursting open, never skimpy on portions. Shrimp Lomein is awesome. One in every bite, and is two meals for me. I have to roll away from the table, lol. Dumplings fried or steamed, I cannot get enough of them. General Tse Chicken is either very good or old. Most of the time it is tender meat, slighty crispy on the outside, with perfectly cooked rice, and steamed broccoli.
A few times old chicken that was reheated. Now I inspect my order and show them if there are any problems, BEFORE LEAVING.
I do not accept refunds or a second try on the food. I do accept beverages or other ready made items, that equal the price of the unacceptable dish in trade. It just means I will be getting dinner elsewhere that night. This is NOT a suggestion, do what you can to properly come to an agreement that fits YOU.
I bring another bag to transfer the order into. If everything is in order THE FIRST TIME, I thank them, give a deep respectful bow and LEAVE A TIP! They remember!
Think about it. Who would not remember getting quiet respect, even after a mistake?“

“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!“

“So I’ve been coming here for awhile years tbh so I watched the young girl from little to now she’s taking orders over the phone but now in present day the young lady who I believe is the daughter of the manager took my phone order and my friend asked for his rolls and beef on the stick to be cooked well
Done…but she didn’t write well done for only the rolls she actually typed over cooked/ burnt and not only did she write over cooked for the shrimp rolls and beef on the stick I ordered me shrimp egg foo young and yes she decided to write over cooked/burnt i never said that once…it was disappointing and just plain simple because I’ve spent lots of money here because typically this would never happen and I want to call the store and let them know but I won’t… I just won’t be going anymore I didn’t ask for shrimp
Egg foo young to be cooked well done only the rolls which is an option but for her too put overcooked is fine but don’t write that I want my shrimp egg foo young to be over cooked and I didn’t say that…letting her take the orders is not a good idea“

“I love this place and the food! I had came here a couple years ago. Today I came and unfortunately forgot my wallet luckily I had apple pay…. Well if you come here make sure you leave a CASH TIP when the lady saw I didn’t leave a tip she followed me to the cashier and stood so close to me when I was signing the receipt. Such an uncomfortable experience“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Quick in and out, very simple to place an order over the phone. I love that the lady isnt overly nice if you know what I mean, shes very straight forward to the point. Great food. The crab rangoons are delicious and the chicken fried rice is a favorite of mine aswell.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!

Vegetarian options: Delicious Tofu and Veggie options - I switch it up from time to time

Dietary restrictions: They always take my requests into consideration“

“Always good“

“Borderline awesome 👍👍

It’s been years since I had food from Panda. Wasn’t expecting much but low expectations generally lead to a good outcome.

Pretty impressed with the Beijing Beef & Walnut Shrimp. Flavorful & good texture.

PROS:
1) good ingredients & quality
2) good selection & variety
3) reasonable prices
5) quick service

CONS:
1) food is precooked
2) food is sitting out in open for 15-30 minutes
3) many entree items were unavailable or seemed very dry

Need more quality control to achieve 5 stars…“

“It's our anniversary. We went to site and sound and didn't feel like cooking or going out. We ordered chicken with garlic sauce and shrimp with garlic sauce. It was hands down the best we have had in a very long time. Love all the vegetables in it,most places only put broccoli and carrots and onions. It had that plus corn zucchini celery and mushrooms. Delicious. Will go again.“
