34 Best Chinese Restaurants near Elkton

“Accidentally ordered from here but it turned out to be one of the best mistakes of my life. Food was great: The General Tso’s tofu was crisply and super flavorful, garlic broccoli was delicious and fresh, and solid white rice game. Full size portions, and decent pricing were appreciated. This is now my new go to spot. If this place goes down so do I.“

“Been ordering from China Wok as our regular place and everything has been great. Good price/ amount of food and the staff has been lovely whenever we have an issue or need a modification.

As far as I’m concerned they’re the best around.“

“Bobos is my go to for Chinese. They are mostly take out only. They have 1-2 tables inside but not really dine in. More like you can eat your take out there.
Pictured - Chicken Wings, Sesame chicken with Fried rice and crab Rangoon. All recommended. I order online and pickup.“

“My husband and I order from here a few times a month. We have always had a pleasant experience when dealing with everyone that works here. The food is always good and made how I request. The lady always gifts me a free tea whenever I pickup our food. Great place and friendly staff!!“

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

“I get dinner from here at least one night a week. Good prices, fast service, and food is good. Not really sure why people only review if a place is bad but I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a decent price lunch or dinner.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great portions, fair prices, and the kindest people running the show.
The staff is what really sets this place apart. They are incredibly welcoming and genuine. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like a regular. They are attentive, super polite, and always go the extra mile to make sure your order is exactly how you like it. Great food and even better people. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The only problem I have with this place is they advertise that the rice is fried rice and it's definitely NOT 😄. It's more like tex-mex, latin style and flavored rice OR yellow box cooked rice. Besides that the food was good for being fast food.“

“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!!“

“Giving 5 stars to offset all of the goofies that may not get the owners disposition. Come on guys lighten up..imo the food is great for a little Chinese food spot in a strip mall. You guys want stellar customer service go to Benihana. They are honest, hard working, and make great food. Period. I like the egg foo young,lo mein, chicken and broccoli, pretty much everything I had there is good.“

“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.“

“We came for the sushi. Got a bubble tea and the boba is the softest boba I have ever had. I think they may actually make them in house so good. The sushi deal is great comes with miso soup and salad all was make with care and really fresh. This place is pretty clean which I appreciate. The service was great everyone was super nice. The food is made with care and spiced really well. It’s probably the best Miso soup I have had and I have traveled a lot. I was really happily surprised!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time trying this place and I can honestly say it was delicious. My sweet and sour chicken and fried rice were perfect. My daughter got lo mein. Noodles are really hearty and tasteful. Also got the chicken and rice soup that was delicious. There prices are really good as well. Service was 10 out of 10. I was very impressed. Highly recommend. I do not leave many reviews but I felt I needed to because was so good.“

“This is what authentic, homestyle chinese cooking tastes like. Everything was amazing, from the service to the food, we had an amazing experience and it truly felt like my mom’s kitchen back home. Of course, if you’re looking for american-style chinese cuisine, you might find some solid food, but the authentic Chinese food is where it’s at. The Changsha Lamb was ultra tender and flavorful; not too salty. The Sour Cabbage Fish Soup was exactly how it should be. Sour, Spicy, Umami, and Numbing. The portion sizes are insanely good, and you’ll definitely go home with leftovers. Overall, come here if you want real Chinese food with soul and want to support a local business.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My Name is Denis I am a Truck driver. Today I happened to be in Maryland and found this Authentic Chinese Restaurant.
Place is Clean, plenty of customers coming and going. Now the Food. That's on a higher Level. Everything was delicious, all flavors blended together in my mouth. What else can I say except go try them. Hopefully I'll be back around here in the future
Thank you all for making such Amazing Hearty Food. Xie!!!

“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.“

“I've been eating here for years and it is one of my favorite places in Newark, or anywhere in Delaware for that matter. It is a really unusual restaurant and is not very user-friendly to people used to American Chinese food.

The people here don't speak great English, which can be annoying. However they are patient and will work with you even if you are not familiar with the food.

And the food is really good. The prices increased after COVID but I still think they are excellent value for your money.

If you are intimidated, some items I recommend are Cumin Lamb, Shredded Pork with Dried Bean Curd & Chinese Celery, Shredded Pork & Potato with Long Hot Peppers, Fish Fillet with Sour Cabbage & Vermicelli Soup, Scallion Pancakes, Stir Fried Lotus Root & Veggie with Cashew & Walnut, Shredded Potato with Long Hot Peppers in Vinegar Sauce, Eggplant in Garlic Sauce, Family Style Bean Curd, Sauteed Baby Bok Choy, Braised Eggplant with String Beans, and Pumpkin Pancakes. There are also some other items not on the main menu. I forget what it's called but there is a casserole that is a lot like Italian Wedding Soup, it has meatballs, noodles, and cooked greens in a clear broth.

The food here is VERY different. It's most similar to sichuan/szechuan food but even there it is quite different from that. Some of it can be very spicy. But there are mellow items too.

Give this place a chance. It is unusual and different but really full of flavor and there are some fantastic things that will really open you to a new culinary experience!“

“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“

“The American Chinese food is awesome, but if you want something special, try the Thai menu. The Thai basil chicken and the parang curry are favorites in our house. On the regular menu, the spicy chicken combination platter is my favorite, but all the food is good. You can't go wrong here!“

“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.“

“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!“
