34 Best Chinese Restaurants near Elkton

“The thing I was most impressed with was the portion sizes. I got the shrimp with rice. It literally fed me for 3 meals! The texture was perfect. Not chewy or tough like a, lot of fried dishes from other places. It was fresh, not overdone, and perfectly crunchy.

They also had a few vegetarian options which we appreciated as we had a family member visiting who isn't a carnivore like the rest of my family. I was worried we wouldn't be able to find anywhere he could eat something nutritious and filling. He not only found something, but it was so filling he could've even finish it all.

I will definitely be going back for our next take out night.“

“I’m a truck driver and always iffy about ordering from places I’m not familiar with. Especially Chinese food. Hands down great food here. Northern Chinese is always the best. Down south is absolutely horrible. lol. I travel a lot. With that being said I had to door dash the food and the place followed instructions very well. Hot and fresh. I will be ordering again from here when I get back in town. Great job great food. Thanks again!“

“Food is awesome, authentic and the staff is very friendly and patient. They will make anything the way you want it made.

Definitely not an eat-in establishment... Plan to take out only.

As a guy who has been spoiled by Chinatown's in Philly, New York and San Francisco I can say these guys are authentic and worth soliciting.“

“if you are thinking "hmmm i want Chinese tonight" GO HERE. it is the best best bestttttt!!! IM SERIOUSSS, yumm yummm YUMMMM SOO many delicious options! The people who work there are so nice too amazing service. best chinese place to get food from ever!!“

“Asian boy chinese has my favorite crab rangoons in the area!I have been a customer for a year and I believe that they are my favorite Chinese restaurant in relationship to me, to my home address.I'm a fan of the sweet and sour pork. The balance is good and the sauce is better than most of the others in the area.I find the restaurant could be a little cleaner, as with the rest of the chinese food restaurants I've been to, but it's always busy. Usually a good sign.“

“Great food, great service. Very accommodating for my elderly mother.“

“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!“

“Delicious“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“2.5 star is only because this is a take out, I'm not looking for the ultra insanely bright flashing LEDs and that is ok, plaine Jane suits this takeout since the food is pretty good.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

“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.“

“I like the food especially shrimp w broccoli or chicken w broccoli , I love egg fu young but I haven’t found any local restaurants that are great at making it but Szechuan Hot Wok makes theirs good enough for me to order over and over. It’s Tuesday and I’d like Chinese for dinner but they’re closed, idk why but I usually crave Chinese food on Tuesday and several local restaurants are closed.“

“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 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************“

“If your picky and don’t know what to eat simple banging meal is the fried chicken wings with veggie fried or white rice. The Sesame or General Tso w/ White rice will have you break dancing and spinning on your head like it’s 1984 because it’s that good“

“I went here for the first time tonight and was so glad I did! The service was great and quick, the girl at the counter was very sweet. And then the food! They loaded me up, and for the prices the portions are amazing! And they taste even better! Everything was hot and so flavorful. I tried a new dish, the shrimp and scallop with veggies and I’ll definitely be getting it again. If you’re looking for a great dinner go here!“

“Update from November 17 2025 at bottom please use caution at this facility restaurant!

Huge food very yummy. Fast service eating in the restaurant. Can sit many there. Food was hot and dipping sauce where great. Fun using chopsticks but can ask for fork if need . I had chicken and fried rice and vegetables and dumplings pork and my friend how noodles said that it was great. Wings was crispy. Can soda or bottle water and few others drinks in bottles I didn't know what they was. Portions was able to feed up to at less 3 people on the plates served. Has tables and booths. But parking is hard to get in front of mom kitchen but parking across in parking lot.

Hi I wanted to edit my opinions on Mom's kitchen today is November 17 , 2025 . I & my friend went back there today the food came out cold and had to be reserved and my friend food noodles wasn't eatable.when we ask if we could get something else the front cashier woman keeps saying she take it back refried the rice still came back no tastes and taste greasy and the spring rolls was burn and the dumplings was smaller portions. Then ask if we could take off my friends meal because he's wasn't able to even eat it . Plus on top of that the chef and the cashier woman was very loud arguing over how the food was to be made . The check came out to be $45 and then paid still and after had to go elsewhere to eat because we where starving and end up at a better restaurant miles down the road. Shame on customers service miss opportunity to make things better. Better not ask for a cola because they had was zero sugar or sprite or orange or tea . Mini cans to drink . The portions was so cut down from last time wow . Last a customer for life . The chicken was boiled the life out of it and was tasteless. The problem I see they where dead no reason to not be able have a great service. They have older children high chairs from McDonald's from the late 90's. One restroom for all guest feels like a closet. Trouble understanding English I know they are Chinese but come on . Please listen for us to be able place a ordered so as we set down means we eat there before. Bad moved on them.“

“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!“

“Good Chinese takeout! I won't say this is the best takeout I've ever had, but still pretty good. For what is around locally, this is the best we've come across. The pricing seems fair, and the portions are good. I liked the flavors for all the things we ordered. We will definitely be back for more.

Ordered takeout, and I think I'd continue to order takeout since the dining area is super casual.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We have been getting our Chinese food from Here for years. The food is excellent! We never go anywhere else. And I really like the lady that works there. She’s so nice. In fact, we’re gonna order there tonight!So we just ate our food! Grand slam. Shrimp rolls , I had shrimp with cashews and broccoli, spicy! Pork friend rice, crab rangoons, hubby had general Tao chicken- fresh- hot and sour soup -shrimp roll pfr- all so good. Thank you!“

“Their food is always delicious! The family that runs this restaurant have a great system in place for being Covid safe when working with customers. They have a pass through window setup for payment and for food.My recommendation is to try their steamed dumplings, Hot and Sour soup, and fried chicken wings.Pricing is very affordable and you get good size portions of food.“

“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“

“The food is great and the ice tea is very good. Someone suggested this place to us when we first move to the area. They definitely didn't miss lead us!! If you love ice tea like I do this is your go to place. Don't forget to try the great food too!!“

“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“

“I don’t understand the bad reviews. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants that I found in Newark Delaware being as though I’m from Philly and Philly got a lot of good Chinese spots. It was hard to find a good Chinese restaurant, but I finally found 1 which is this one! I seen some people complaining about the food overcook but I personally like my food overcooked. And maybe they seen peoples reviews about their Customer Service so they gotten better because when I call, they don’t have an attitude with me. You should give them a try.“

“I love there food I could eat here everyday.“

“This is the best Chinese place around. Also have the most friendly service, I am greeted like family when I come in. The food is amazing. Very large portions always taste fresh. The place is clean and willing to accommodate specific requests. My family usually orders every Sunday! We have tried others and nothing compares. For large order they are always quick and ready when I arrive.“
