50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Havertown

“Excellent food and service“

“My wife and I love Lei Lei. I see lots of reviews on here complaining about the food, the pickup window, etc. so I felt compelled to back up my go to Chinese takeout spot in Havertown in a review. The prices are great and we have never had any bad orders. Go to orders include General Tso's (the combo platter with pork fried rice and an egg roll is a great deal), chicken lo mein, and pork dumplings. Always delicious, and always ready in about 15 minutes. The workers are always very polite and appreciative to have your business. Long live Lei Lei!“

“Not as busy as it used to be. Abdul was great and really spent time to take care of us on a personal level. It was my father-in-law‘s birthday and he made sure to help us celebrate it in the right way. We will definitely come back. He's stressed at the restaurant offered healthy food at a good price point and we appreciated this.“

“Made reservations at 7pm at loch bar for my sister’s birthday. I got there first and since my sister was a few minutes away, the host couldn’t seat me without her. My sister arrived at 7:05pm and the host informed us that it was busy therefore we would have to wait at the bar until there is a table available. I’m not sure what is the point of a reservation, if you won’t be seated right away. The bartender was really nice and welcoming. 20 minutes later, there was an open table. The appetizers were delicious especially the mussels!!!! The caviar and potato skin were sooo good as well. The oysters were fresh & cold just how I like it. I ordered shots of clase azul for my sister’s bday and we decided to do a bump of caviar & a shot of clase azul. It was a great combo! Thank me later.“

“Great Food and amazing drinks“

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“I was looking for roast crispy duck. I didn't want to go to Chinatown because its gotten rundown, yucky traffic, expensive parking and horrible SEPTA. I decided to stay in my neighborhood so I could walk. I worried about it being expensive. Chestnut Hill is high end and the restaurant looked pricey. What a WONDERFUL SURPRISE! I was a solo table but still treated like a queen with lots of servers checking in, giving water and smiling. The roast duck in black bean sauce on the cast iron plate was SCRUMPTIOUS. It comes with a healthy side of white rice and delicate, flavorful bok choi. The skin was crispy yet NOT oily or greasy. The CHUNKS of tender duck meat were excellent. The sauce was thick, savory and yummy. FOODGASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The portion was so healthy that I was able to take a container home for lunch the next day. Then I ordered the Mudslide ice cream pie for dessert. PERFECTION. Dense, creamy, sweet but not cloying with nut accents, fresh strawberries and cream as garnish. Cool treat on a humid Summer night. When the bill came, I was shocked that it was less than $40. I did not order a cocktail because I wanted to concentrate on the food. I gave them a big tip and said I am absolutely returning. I am also addicted to their spring rolls too. Two perfect crunchy flaky rolls filled with a balanced combination of shrimp, cheese, and cabbage that you can dip in duck sauce or mustard or just enjoy plain.“

“Solid spot for Chinese takeout! The menu has a wide variety of food. I would definitely come back when I'm craving Chinese food.“

“Uniquely seasoned food served promptly and pleasantly. Outdoor seating is available in a private booth design that's very 'public' since it's on the sidewalk. The interior design is remincent of authentic Chinese culture with wooden dragons carved in the wall. You can sit at the bar or sit in the main dining area. The culinary delights are streamed, gluten free or lightly fried. The chilli sauce/oil is a nice surprise it's fragrant with a hint of perfume of anise, cardamom and clove, amongst other herbs,all smothered in oils and Sichuan pepper. I highly recommend this spot.“

“It’s by far the best Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. Not only is the food delicious, the owner, Cary and his staff are the nicest people. I highly recommend them! Also, they deliver. #wontonsoup #exceptional“

“It’s hard finding good Chinese food in West Philly & my standards are high. I ordered won ton soup, veggie lo mein & spring rolls. Delivery was timely, the food was hot & delicious! This may be my new go to spot to order from.“

“Tried takeout today for the first time and everything was delicious. This is more of a takeout place since the vibe is very basic, but there are a few tables for eat-in. I had the Pork Rib noodles and it was a very large portion with fresh bok choy, nicely spiced pork, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Also tried spring rolls and hot and sour soup (standards to see how they compare to other restaurants in the area). Spring rolls had options of chicken or chicken and shrimp, not greasy at all, and very good. Hot and sour soup was hotter than I've had elsewhere and not as thick as usual--i prefer this version. Prices were very good especially given the portion size of the noodles, easily enough for 2 meals. I will definitely be back!“

“I was here today for the first time. Had a late lunch. Kosher vegan. The food is excellent. The service very friendly. I will definitely be back.“

“Food is fresh, restaurant inviting. Nice large tables/booths. Food is delicious. Successfully met tastes of all 50 party guests“

“The food is as amazing as the owner. HAN IS THE MAN!!! Get the Dan Dan Noodles.“

“Awesome experience very happy with the staff and food and great atmosphere it’s at one“

“I just ordered from here a second time and it did not disappoint. The prices are reasonable, the portions are large, and the flavor is on point. THIS is what I remember Chinese food tasting like before prices went up and quality went down. Delivery is also incredibly fast.“

“Make no mistake. Don’t expect awesome Chinese food. This place serves its purpose incredibly well which is food that tastes good enough for incredible value in price and portion sizes. If you like Panda Express, you will like this place. For $47 we got enough food for 4 meals (5-6 if you are a light eater or with kids). The value is crazy good and perfectly met expectations.“

“This was perfectly executed New York-style takeout. Everything was delicious and the chef was accommodating to my special requests. I got one of the dinner combos. The egg roll was made in-house, stuffed full of veggies and seasoned with pork. The pork fried rice was delicious with strong char siu pork flavor. And the General Tso’s had a great sweet flavor with a hint of five-spice and a hint of heat. I’m new to town, this was my first Chinese order. I found my place!“

“This is our go to Chinese restaurant! The first and only that we really love around here! It’s a 20 min walk from us and in hot weather it feels longer, but it’s ALWAYS worth it! They’re so nice, the food is awesome, fair prices, and our order is always right! Their cheese pizza rolls are so good! Which are a nice treat when you want pizza and Chinese lol. Their shrimp eggs rolls are also my favorite! I usually get two :)“

“Great food, great service, very friendly staff.“

“This place is amazing. We got the veggie lo mein, crab rangoons, and general tso’s chicken combo. Every thing tasted absolutely flawless and was cooked to perfection (and boiling hot!) The rangoons are the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Panda Express doesn’t even hold a candle to any of this amazing food. Not to mention, we got basically a soup-bowl-sized serving of sweet & sour sauce without asking. The general tso’s chicken was so crispy and saucy, and rice not overcooked or undercooked but just right. The lo mein was delicious and the veggies clearly cooked well. I have no complaints.

This place is meant for takeout, but the food was so good that it gets 5 stars all around for me even though we didn’t eat there and the inside was small. This business deserves your dollars, and your stomach will thank you!“

“We LOVE coming to Bao Nine! Best place to eat! Great food, comfortable atmosphere, quick service! REAL FOOD!“

“Got general Tso chicken, pork fried rice and an iced tea for $10.50. No idea how they are able to charge this little but the food wasn’t bad at all. The pork fried rice was a lil blah, next time I will just get white rice. I didn’t call to order and my food took a lil while but I was very happy with the general tso chicken. Will order again.

Parking: Small lot. Shared with laundry.“

“I’ve been coming to Chengdu Famous Food regularly—it truly feels like my second dining hall. The food is made by authentic chefs and aunties from Sichuan, and it shows: every dish is bursting with flavor, the portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly fair.
What really sets this place apart is the warmth of the service. Every staff member is kind, attentive, and welcoming. It’s rare to find a place that tastes like home and treats you like family.
If you're craving real Sichuan food near Penn or Drexel, this is the spot. Highly recommended!“

“Great steamed dumplings! We have tried many of the dishes and find everything to be very delicious. The owners are so sweet and kind. Always pleasing and pleasant. So glad they are so close.“

“One of my favorite local spots. I often come here alone and order some soup dumplings and cucumber salad and sit at the window and people watch. If you know you know.

But most notably, their cucumber salad is 10/10! It is addicting and refreshing. Best in the city! My favorite!“

“I am closing in on 40 and have been coming to this restaurant since I was a small child, some of my earliest memories are family dinners at Da Chen. The staff here are amazing— kind, attentive, helpful, and generous. Their house made duck sauce and crispy fried wonton chips ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD. Do not sleep on them if you only ever order take-out! You receive the crispy wonton chips with any soup order, but you have to ask for their homemade duck sauce on the side (costs like 25¢ iirc)!!! My favorite foods from here are: wonton soup, their complimentary jasmine tea, shrimp toast, beef & broccoli, sweet & sour chicken, general tso’s chicken, pork fried rice, and the bao bao platter (it’s such a fun treat eating this for dine-in). You will always receive the same quality service and food here, and somehow over the years it’s even gotten better! Da Chen is child-friendly and has high chairs available to use, and is wheelchair-accessible straight from the ample free parking lot and into the restaurant. Da Chen accepts cash, debit or credit. Thank you Da Chen!! ?? ❤️

Dietary restrictions: There are vegetarian and gluten free options here

Parking: Da Chen has its own parking lot. It is free with plenty of space.

Kid-friendliness: I have been coming here since I was an infant. Da Chen has high chairs available to use for toddlers and babies :)

Wheelchair accessibility: Da Chen is wheelchair accessible, there is a ramp from the parking lot and inside the store is accessible.“

“Not that good“

“My family and I 5 generations have enjoyed your food over the years. From my granny (who has now past) my mother, myself, my children, and now their children. The food is always fresh, tasty and having moved down south trips back up North include a 30 - 40 min drive from New Jersey. Love the family, when we come for food we often talk about our children as we are in the same age group and update on the new things. Visiting soon will be making a trip over.“

“Heads Up: Take Out & Cash Only, But They Do Accept Cash App Lol!. They're Very Polite & Serve Fresh Hot Food!!. I Don't Know What They're Putting In Those Egg Rolls, But They're Awesome!!. I'll Definitely Be Returning To This Location & Thank You Again For Making My Dinner A Pleasant Night.“

“Little Basil has become our go to place for carry out Chinese food near Broomall! Love the food and the woman who always hands me the order is wonderful. They also accommodate our request for minimal/low/no salt, which is important for our health restrictions.

Bravo to the kitchen and all personnel!
Five Star Rating!!!!!!!!“

“There food is always good. I love the shrimp and broccoli rolls. Not to many stores have them. I only knew of one other store that sold them when I was a kid. Thesgore still stands but no shrimp rolls. Hands down one if the best Chinese stores in west phiy“

“Everything is fresh and delicious! Atmosphere is very friendly, they treat you like family!“

“This is pretty much the only place i eat at this mall. For me the price is very reasonable and usually they have something i always enjoy. The spicy fried tofu (w/Veggies & Lo Main) is always great and my go-to when I want a filling snack.
I wish I could give bonus stars simply for the wonderful woman working the register today (9/1/24, roguhly 1 pm). She was amazingly friendly! While I patiently waited for my meal I noticed every customer who came into here (including myself!) was acknowledged and greeted, she made sure to ask if orders were correct double checking and all, and would always find something to compliment or have that moment of a quick impression/connection and making someone's day that much better. Not one person left without a smile. Someone like that is a very rare gift in the food industry. I wish I could give her a proper shout-out, but I never got her name!“

“Good Morning Google Family. How are you doing today? I decided to visit since I was so hungry!!! I do not like the white rice that the chinese places always give you so I asked for brown rice. I ordered a small won ton soup, 2 egg rolls and a Happy Family meal to go. I waited for a good amount of time and then they called me with my order. Thank goodness they have a seating area there to wait for your orders. I paid using my debit card and then they said I could have a can of soda. I got ginger ale for my mom and then I left. I ate my fortune cookies in the car since I was so hungry!! Then I left and went home. Have a great day Googlel Family and don't forget to work out!!!

Parking: There is nice size parking lot here. I received a space at the end of the block.“

“It is affordable and has a large portion. It is said that the beef brisket rice is delicious, but the quantity of beef brisket rice is limited, so it is best to buy it before twelve o'clock.
There were a lot of people queuing up and you had to wait for about fifteen minutes.“

“My friends and I tried Jin House for the first time yesterday because Uber eats was running a buy one, get one free promo on a lot of their combination platters which was extremely risky because we never tried it but I’m so glad we did. We paid for only three platters which was the pepper steak, general Taos chicken and lastly the rib tips but got six. We also ordered 3 pints of rice but was surprised to see that all 6 platters also came with a variety of white rice and fried rice. Now what’s most important is the food! The general Taos was my favorite thing. The chicken cuts were huge and I love that they made it spicy. The rib tips were also extremely good, they cut them up extremely small which made them easy for me to bite which I appreciated. They also gave us free shrimp egg rolls which was very good. It didn’t taste like your average eggrolls from the Chinese store. It was juicy and fresh. I was impressed by how good it was. Lastly, I got the pepper steak and onions. If I’m being honest, it wasn’t my favorite thing. It had too much onions which I’m not a big fan of and only a few pieces of meat and in my opinion was too sweet but it’s okay to not like some things and it didn’t ruin my experience. I’ll definitely come back to try more things. I’d say try it out!!“

“The food is absolutely amazing but the lady at the counter answers the phone politely and then she sighs out of frustration and gets impatient and the energy becomes negative . I loved this place cause I’m from jersey and I just moved here so was looking for a stable place to get my takeout and this place has GREAT FOOD!!!! For me it’s always fresh and hot but here’s where things get tricky….

There’s always those bad seeds that pit in minimal effort. When I left the tip the lady asked “ are you going to leave a tip?” I said ABSOULTELY !! I always leave a tip for good service . And I told her 3 dollars and she said

“THATS IT!!!” I immediately yelled at her becuase i was offended.someone needs to teach the lady on the phone humility. So I stopped leaving tips!!!!! Becuase number one I’m buying food from your establishment so I’m still investing my money into your Bussiness when I can go elsewhere . Number two a tip is optional !!! You don’t dictate how much I tip. As long as your giving good Bussiness your tips will total from multiple customers and orders . DONT LET YOUR GREED BE YOUR DOWNFALL!!!. I will leave a tip moving forward but some you ever disrespect me becuase you want a 20 DOLLAR TIP FOR A 45 dollar order!!! I’m not rich and wealthy and you don’t manage my money . GOD BLESS“

“We moved and needed to find a new Chinese restaurant. We tried another one in the area first that was not good, ended throwing some of it away. Then we tried China King! Three years later, and they've never disappointed us. The food is always fresh, hot and delicious no matter if it's takeout or delivery. If you're in KOP and have a taste for great Chinese, remember the KING😉 is the only choice!“

“We tried Super Wok for the first time because the place we usually order delivery from was unexpectedly closed. The food was very good, and the delivery was fast and food arrived nice and Hot. They had really good egg rolls, and I liked that the Szechuan and General Tso chicken was actually spicy as it should be. This may be our new "go to" place for chinese delivery.“

“Her food is good and they are really fast. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 cause they gotta do better with the frying oil (change the oil when they supposed to) cause sometimes when I get chicken wings I can taste the dirty oil and that's not very pleasant. Prices are average and service is good.“

“We been here now for several years . We love their food . Unfortunately thief not open this week. We pray that all is well ..“

“Tried a dozen places since we moved here 8 months ago. This is the first place we found with normal looking fried rice (Brown and white fried with char spots and multi colored) and not the all yellow rice. This was clearly cooked fresh, tastes fresh, will return.“

“Excellent dinner. Entrees are family style, so for a table of 4, we had one spring roll each, an order of dumplings, dry pot beef, garlic chicken, salt n’ pepper shrimp and Bok Choy with mushrooms. Delicious! Not your ordinary American Chinese food.“

“From chicken wing platter with french fries general toast chicken with beef fried rice sesame chicken with white rice beef fried rice shrimp fried rice chicken and broccoli beef and broccoli popcorn chicken chicken on a stick cheesesteak rolls shrimp rolls watermelon & pineapples fruit“

“Chicken to rice ratio is perfect , the chicken is cooked nice and crispy, with plenty of sauce tho the flavor is kinda off and bland , combo platter doesn't come with a egg roll tho that's not bad at all the rice is delicious not the best but better then a few spots in this area , plus the cheapest so far at 8.75 for a combo platter food was quick ten min wait ,“

“This restaurant has been my go-to spot for Chinese food and sushi for years, and it never disappoints. The staff is always welcoming and incredibly friendly, making every visit a pleasant experience. The food is consistently great, but the sushi stands out, especially the salmon sushi, which is always fresh and never misses. Whether you want to dine in, a cozy and quaint experience or take out, this place doesn't miss!“

“Food is great, staff is very friendly & accommodating. Lunch specials are a solid value. Delivery is crazy fast & fee is only $2 despite everywhere else in the area charging $4+. Spicy Wontons in Garlic Sauce appetizer is a great deal, big portion for under $8!

Online ordering can be finnicky if ordering Lunch specials though, the site's clock seems to think it's an hour later than it actually is so you can't submit an order containing lunch specials after 2pm despite them being available until 3pm. You get an error telling you it's after 3pm & that you have to change your order, however calling to order them was no issue.“

“This place just sprung up, and finally there’s a good chinese restaurant on 40th!
Don’t expect anything gourmet, but it’s all high quality, well cooked, yummy, and well worth the price. Everything you could want from a cheap american-chinese restaurant.“
