Ordered the cantonese chow mein for takeout. The portion was enough for two people to share or one very hungry person. Very delicious and fresh. Will definately be back.
Andrew took my order over the phone and was also very freindly when I picked up.

Flavor, Portions, and Service – Riverside Nails It Every Time!

From the first bite, Riverside in Frankford proves why it’s a local favorite. The chicken fried rice is perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the chicken balls are crispy and delicious, and the portions are huge—definitely worth every penny. The staff is super friendly, always on time with orders, and make every visit a great experience. Big thumbs up to Riverside for consistently delivering amazing food and service—I’ll be back again and again!

THANKS JH

EDIT TO ADD - THIS WASNT JUST A BAD EVENING. THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE. According to people in the area, and on other reviews, this place was once amazing. New owners took over and the standards have gone to the toilet, where their food should go. Such a shame. I hope the owners are learning a valuable lesson. A small town like this can be a huge support system to a small business. Overcharging for terrible food is not the way to stay in favor of your customers. Honestly, drive to Trenton for food. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL.

I have heard amazing things about this place. The food was highly recommended to me by quite a few people. Maybe I just ordered on a bad night? Service was excellent. That's the best part of my experience there. The food, honestly, was horrible. I spent a good chunk of money because everyone loves Chinese food leftovers. A complete waste. The food was dry, very bland, tasteless, luke warm. I only live two minutes away. I plated it up as soon as I got back. It was cold. The batter on the chicken balls was like chewing through leather. And they were dry and overcooked as well. The lo mein I purchased was so dry, I could have saved a tonne and just took the same noodles out of my fridge, that I bought for $4.99, and ate those. They would have had about the same amount of taste and flavor. The other dishes, everything that comes on the meal for four, had almost no taste or no taste. Between the cost of the meal for four, plus ordering the lo mein, extra chicken balls and extra fried rice, I'm ticked with myself for bothering to try something new. Frustrating. Life is expensive enough for us all. When you want to treat your family out to what should be a lovely meal. Only to waste money on stuff that will end up in the green bin? Yeah, not happy. I will not be a return customer. Hopefully the next time I try local, it'll be the Mill Street Pub, it'll actually be edible.

Just returned from an unexpected family dinner at Riverside Restaurant. I had high expectations considering how many good things people had to say about it. We were definitely not disappointed as the food was delicious and service was great and workers were as friendly as possible. Very well held up for a small town.

This an amazing restaurant. We ordered take out and it was the best around. Please go here. 100% worth it. Great bang for your buck. A lot of food per portion. The only complaint I had was the website was very slow to look at the menu but I found the menu on Facebook instead so no biggy. Please support local businesses.

Food is great and they don't mind customizing your items. The staff is friendly, and professional. Never disappointed.

Maybe they were having a bad night...I don't know. Other people seemed to like it in the reviews but we did not. The vegetable spring rolls tasted fishy, the chicken chow mein tasted like dirty grill, the chicken balls although had lots of chicken in them and were cooked well.. tasted like old oil. I had to return the chicken wings I ordered as they were vile. This was our first and last experience there. Literally nothing tasted good. The staff were nice and the atmosphere was ok and the portion sizes were big but I'm not sure if that's a good thing to be honest because it was all so bad. We had such high hopes too. Here's to hoping they just forgot to clean their kitchen for a few weeks and will be better in the future and my review is just a blip...but I'll never know.
