27 Best Chinese Restaurants near Paxtonia

“Ordered szechuan triple delight, kung pao three flavor, and house special lo mein

After moving from the west coast, I *really* wanted to find a decent good hitting Chinese spot and I think this may be it. Also, they give you insanely generous portion sizes. Rice was filled to the brim of the take out container and the lo mein was like that too so, defo 5 star from me. I’ll come back again :D Thanks for the hearty meal!

+ they said you get a free soda if your total order price is 45+ 😌“

“Ordered crab ragoon, wonton soup, chicken & brocoli combo - all came out excellent.

I will say I'm used to the crab ragoon being more stuffed & there being more chicken in the chicken & brocoli which also came with carrots for some reason but I can forgive them.

Ordered delivery & it came very quickly, delivery fee a little high for someplace 1.5miles away plus tip made it 10$ more expensive but eh man needs to eat sometimes. AND again I forgive them, they are in a rural like area providing quality food, atleast from what I ordered.“

“For what’s it worth, fast food Asian restaurant. It’s good. Been here a few times I recommend it. Also portions are nice and hefty. They do cook everything to order but it’s quick. Come down to Lin Garden and have yourself a good meal.“

“Outstanding. Orange chicken was great.“

“My nephew loves I mean loves this place he gets the spare ribs extra sauce, with pork fried rice, and cheese fries with spare rib sauce on them. I get the shrimp and broccoli it is to die for. It taste the way Chinese is supposed to or how it did in the 90s. We live in Allentown. We drive all the way to Harrisburg for it. We ordered 5 orders, for the whole house and it only came to $53. I spend more than that ordering two pizzas and a soda. Hands down Emeralds can take my money“

“I absolutely love Magic Wok! I grew up on Magic Wok the young ladies is an absolute delight as 5 ⭐ children & theirr mother is a true treasure to the community by being a good example for her family teaching her children hard work and the benefits that follow!
Much respect for the Magic Wok Family! ??“

“Excellent sushi. Delicious entrees. Nice restaurant.“

“I love Chinese if you seen anything I commented on to Nauseam. This is one of the best in Harrisburg. They have all day specials. Which really helps the wallet. Not only that but it's good. Try getting Rib Tip sauce or spicy garlic sauce on your chicken or fries.“

“Dietary restrictions: A little hard to order bc of background noise/phone. Took an 1 hr & 20 mins for $40 worth. Nice driver tho & decent food. Came rly hot. Slightly bland but soy sauce or salt fixes everything ? got everything in my order.“

“The only one open for Christmas in Halifax. I’ve not been a fan of Chinese food lately because I fell they use a ton of oil to where you can see the separation in the sauces used but this place is by far the best light crisp vegetables clean . They Definitely will be getting a return visit .“

“I drove all the way to harrisburg to pick up something off of fb marketplace. The purchase was a disappointment, and finding this place made the drive worth it. I am now upset I don't live around here. There's fountain drinks, and I ain't mad. This is a gloriously efficient business.“

“The best ,quick ,Chinese cuisine , Harrisburg has to offer. I love the atmosphere, the service and the preparation of the food. My first choice anytime Chinese food is mentioned, it has to come from Chan's!

Vegetarian options: Vegetable fried rice is my favorite.“

“10/10 THE SPOT for fantastic food made with real, authentic soul. I cannot hype these guys up enough, I’ve lived in Harrisburg for about 8 years and can honestly say that this place just does it right. They serve high volumes of customers day in and day out and never fail to impress. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are perfect, everything is always right on. Total “hidden gem” of Harrisburg City.“

“General tso’s was perfect.
Crispy hot chicken, quality meat: not a ton of breading.

** (chow mein is “NY style”, not Panda Express. It is a protein served on a bed of cabbage. If you want noodles, get lo mein)

Parking: Parallel street parking, plenty of room“

“I ordered from the menu, so my main dish was cooked fresh, however, the rice noodles were taken from the pre-cooked bins at the counter. I got General Tso's tofu. The tofu tasted fresh, though marginally over cooked. The sauce was good, though a bit too sweet. The rice noodles were excellent and tasted just like singapore mei fun, with a bit of curry flavor and a few veggies in the mix. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality for being a food court "Chinese" restaurant.“

“It's unfortunate to see a number of bad reviews here. This is my husband and I's favorite take out Chinese in the immediate area (general Colonial Park area)...and we have tried many. We have never had a bad experience here once. Not only do we prefer their food over others, but the prices are much more reasonable as well (and in this economy!)...

Perhaps our experience is different because we don't order delivery. We live within a 3 mile radius, and so it has always made more sense for us to just go grab the food ourselves (for us it just makes more sense: the delivery times are always longer than if you just get it yourself, and I have a vehicle and it's not a big inconvenience to me to just go grab takeout, so why pay someone to do something I can easily do myself?). So, I can't speak for the delivery service in my evaluation.

As far as the language barrier goes, I guess it's simply what I've come to expect when ordering from a Chinese (or Italian, or Indian, or whatever...) restaurant. I don't expect an exchange of communication on the same level of an American restaurant...and I don't need that. They're short and to the point, and for me, that's all I really need (I prefer to avoid all "obligatory" small talk, if I can help it, haha).

Until something gives us a reason, this will remain our "go-to" Chinese take out. As of now, I have no complaints and only positive experiences (and we've ordered here many times). So, I guess, you'll have to decide for yourself, but I'd say it's at least worth giving this place a shot!“

“Very good and one of the better wonton soups around.“

“I have been ordering from there for years. I don't remember ever complaining. The delivery guy, the man who own the place are very kind. I love when I move and the delivery man comes to the door, and says "It you. You live here now." Great food, great service.“

“First time there. Food was fresh, eggs rolls were crisp and hot, broccoli was perfect....all just spot on! Confusion at ordering and our order got packed as a Togo. Our plan was to eat in.....so we just unpacked our food and ate it there. Staff was very friendly but when they saw we were eating in they didn't offer any plates or silverware or napkins. Found forks, ate out of the containers (kinda fun) but couldn't find a napkin anywhere....
Will definately return (BYOP,N,F)“

“The food is pretty good and fresh, love the mixed vegetables, they don't skimp! Always hot, never too greasy, the wings are crisp and fresh and the pizza rolls are really good too. The building itself is somewhat clean, fast service, would recommend“

“I ordered the General Tso Chicken combo and a small wonton soup through Grubhub last night. I am not a fan of fried rice, but I was absolutely blown away by the fried rice that came with the chicken, I would eat the rice by itself as a meal! The wonton soup was by far the best I have ever had. The chicken was very good. I will definitely order from here again whenever I'm in the area.“

“I don’t get the bad reviews because this is the best Chinese around. We typically get it delivered and it is always so delicious, fresh, and give generous portions. We never have had a bad meal here. They have great sesame chicken, General Tsos, broccoli with garlic sauce and beef and broccoli. The best of the best is their wonton soup ?! It hits the spot when you are sick!“

“The ladies are always so kind to me here. The portions are really good and prices aren't extreme. They've even given me extra of stuff if they didn't like the portion they might have given me. Wonderful staff. Usually my go to if I'm in the food court or craving Chinese.“

“I was greeted at counter and we placed our order. First thing I noticed was the place was very clean..! Bathroom was even clean..! Food didn't take very long and everything was fine. I had chicken with cashews and I especially liked that there were plenty of veggies in it. I ate what I could and took the rest home and enjoyed it reheated later. Staff was also friendly..!

Parking: Plenty of parking right in front of restaurant.“

“Some things are a hit or miss but not that bad. I’ve been coming here since forever. Same menu same lady at the window. Don’t get the chicken noodle soup tho. That’s just a no. The chicken nuggets are tiny, wouldn’t recommend. If you get a combination dish with rice and let’s say beef and broccoli just know all the sauce from the beef and broccoli is gonna be soaking into your rice. Because they put the (COMBINATION) in one container. Meaning your rice might be soggy and I DONT like that.Not a fan of the hot n sour soup. It wasn’t the right amount of sour to sweet ratio I like.The people there are nice just be patient please. English is their second language. Even I, an Asian American struggle placing an order on the phone.“

“Great food and service!“

“Much better food and set up than previous restaurant in that space. Has three different restaurants and a bar there. The bar is one if the best in Grantville with a large selection of local and craft beers on tap. Plus they have a pretty good whiskey selection“
