42 Best Chinese Restaurants near Hockessin

“Excellent Quality & Value
If you're looking for excellent Chinese food to go at a good value then this is the place. There are slightly (only slightly) cheaper places in the neighborhood, but not at the same quality level. The service is quick and friendly. I've visited many times over the years and the ownership has not changed. The orange chicken and the steamed dumplings are especially recommended.“

“Don't judge a book by its cover, this applies to this restaurant, they don't have fancy renovation but they do use quality food material, I can tell because I traveled around the country to do work with my camper van I sure eat a lot of take out foods.“

“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!“

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. Being from Philly, it was very difficult to find a location with food comparable to what I was used to having. This restaurant definitely measures up well.

Parking: Retail parking lot available to multiple businesses.“

“I have eaten here frequently during my time at UD. Never once disappointed in the food, it is always very consistent and very good. Plenty of vegetarian options as well. The kung pao tofu and hot & sour soup are my go-tos. The price to amount of food you receive ratio is one of the best in town. Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“They have the best beef with mixed vegetables!!! I live next to lantana shopping center with the Chinese crownery and we have ate there for years and we tried china one and have not gone back to the crownery. Definitely recommend China One!“

“Pro, the food was good...The cons are, the customer are not greeted, everyone is walking around being busy and not making any effort to get you your order until you get their attention...I don't see a dining area, we are confined to a small area about 8' X 6' that was really cold...“

“As a person who lived in China for several years, I was so excited to find this pocket of authenticity in Newark! In addition to a refreshing feeling of a real Chinese restaurant, the menu is packed with delicious regional dishes from China.The staff is also incredibly kind. They are willing to answer questions for those who are unfamiliar with Chinese cuisine, and they even offer some Americanized Chinese dishes for those feeling a little nervous. Don’t be silly though, make sure to try the dumplings!“

“I lived in the City of Wilmington for years. I’m now in the burbs but this place stands out as the best Chinese food we’ve ever eaten. It’s the only Chinese restaurant where you order General Tso’s and you get spicy, whole peppers in your dish. Not a sugary mess. I still talk about how delicious the food was. Count your blessings.“

“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.“

“We’re on vacation here in Delaware for our Family Reunion from NC, was craving some Chinese food and thought to give this place a try and man I couldn’t have picked a better place, food is soooo fresh, the fried pork wontons, sesame chicken woo *chefs kiss*; my wife said the lady up front was very catering and super friendly! If you’re ever in this area I strongly recommend if we’re ever vacationing here definitely check this spot out!“

“The best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I’ve been eating from here since I was a little kid and it’s always been my go to. I love the chicken on stick and have never seen anyone make it like this place does. I love how they will usually give you some eggrolls when you have a big order as well. The cost is very well reasonable with the great quality I love this place no complaints ! Always quick too“

“I had no complaints, not the best I've ever had but it's not bad if you're looking for quick, friendly service in the area. Plus there's not a whole lot of Chinese places close by compared to where I live so when I worked in Avondale I got lunch here often.“

“My favorite Chinese take out food! If you're looking for a cheap yet delicious meal, look no further! My personal favorite items include the hot and sour soup and the roast pork lo mein lunch special, which I have ordered multiple times! The only issue I've had is with consistency and wait times. Sometimes the food isn't as fresh and as well seasoned as other times, but the food has never tasted bad. My advice: order the lunch special & order via phone or their website ahead of time!Lastly, I think this place has the best hot and sour soup in the area, great balance of flavors and good portion of meat. Also, the lunch special contains generous portions!!“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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 have ordered from China House in the past several years in Newport, DE and love their boneless bbq spareribs and have just discovered their General Tsos chicken which is not spucy and has just the right sauce to compliment the crispy chicken! It's amazing! Try it you will love it!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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 used to be here almost every week but had a long break due to the pandemic. I visited here again last week and have to say that the quality of the food has dropped. I understand it is getting harder to survive especially after the pandemic and, considering the price, this place is likely already trying its best. Overall, the place is still good with the price.“

“Great food, fast delivery.Everything here is delicious and fresh. Great customer service and excellent delivery.Complainers about people not wearing a mask need to worry about themselves. Its not the restaurant's fault. You cant control people, just control yourself.“

“A Chinese food takeaway that has been operating in Capitol Trail Newark Delaware for over a decade. The taste of the food was so mediocre that it could even be described as shoddy. The reason for giving them a five star rating is that they solve many of the workers' daily meals and are affordable. The Chinese are hard-working, and even the epidemic has not stopped them from moving forward. We need to applaud their professionalism.???“

“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!“

“Yes!Thank you! delicious!“

“We love to pick up happy hour sushi from 2-4:30. The crunchy roll is our absolute favorite sushi roll. The incredible roll is pretty much a hairy Mexican, another staple for us. We also always get the gyoza-basically the fried dumpling version of a chicken nugget.“

“Honestly, best Chinese American food around. You can actually taste the oyster sauce used. Lo Mein has a multitude of vegetables that isn't just cabbage. Sweet and sour chicken is incredibly crispy. Was very surprised how good this place was.“

“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 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!“

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

“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 !“

“First time here and me likeyy shooo sho shoo muchhh , imma picky eater (especially meat/poultry smells) thats why i only stay for 1 chinese food restaurant closer by there for this time .. after my hubby told me 2-3times to give a try we went here last tuesday nd turns out i love itt & all the food was boom ? ..- 11/10 shredded pork w garlic sauce ( no meat smells , just perfect )- fillet fish w pickle veggie ( mostly i like it sour but heres i taste hint of sweet pickle . so sweet sour nd fresh in one )- 11/10 tons of love , frog w spicy whili pepper ( lots of frogs pieces , perfect combination of fragant soup , comfy mala taste , sesame sprinkle )1 thing that sounds uncomfortable to customer ( heres the total if u dont gv any tips )“

“absolutely wonderful food! i particularly enjoyed the happy family, which is a mix of chicken, shrimp, beef, mushroom and corn, as well as the house lo mein! the staff is friendly and welcoming too! the location is perfect with ample parking, and is in proximity to many things, making it highly accessible and convenient. i can’t wait to dine here more and make this my regular chinese take out!“

“I was originally going to give this restaurant a 4 Star because I’ve had a few issues in the past w/ this business such as long deliveries and being charged for items that I did not order etc...however, the food is great! And just the fact that they deliver makes it all the much greater. Classic chinese food with a clean, yummy taste. Recently, the delivery time has been fast, with my food (General Tso Tofu with vegetable lo mein only onions ?) arriving steaming hot! Definitely give them a try if you’re in the Wilmington area. -Nana?“

“My boyfriend and I came here for a bit to eat after our shopping we did and the food was great, you get a pretty decent sized portion of food all for a good price. One thing I will say is the selection of drinks isn’t the Best but as a whole the service was great and the food was excellent. Will be back again!“

“UPDATE months later : I TOLD THE LIL TEENAGE BOY WITH THE GLASSES GARLIC WHITE SAUCE LIKE 3X AND STILL GOT IT WRONG.Older review: NGL I DIDNT THINK THIS FOOD WOULD TASTE THIS GOOD LOL. EVERYTHING WAS LITERALLY PERFECTION. not salty ty god lol. Veggies was cooked al dente lol. Quality and a nice variety of veggies. I really wanna drive back there and get more but i got 9-5 slave job later. Price was great. Portions great. Location great. No dining in. Only like 3 chairs inside for waiting. I got a 32oz of rice and 32oz of mixed veggies (large) they only serve in boxes not platter plate kind of thing. Payed with plastic. Food was hot. Brown sauce was cooked well. ... they didnt pack napkins or utensils so make sure to ask if u need. Called in order. Never judge a book by its cover lolol bc personality is rare it seems these days lolol. Will be back. Going to get the garlic white sauce next time or steamed. Just because the brown sauce be messing with me lowkey. Depends on the place as far as severity. I usually get a stuffy nose for like an hr. This place wasnt bad. Actually, im going to permanently stay away from brown sauce here on out. Thanks though. This place is good money.“
