50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Swarthmore

“I have ordered delivery and also walked in and picked up my food and have dined in too! The atmosphere is very clean and calm. The family is always pleasant and very nice. The delivery is always fast and my food is always hot and delicious!“

“Easily some of the best takeout I had in a long time. Everything tasted so fresh (especially the egg rolls!!), and the platters were big at a reasonable cost. They even have a nice vegan selection, which is an added bonus for those in need. This spot definitely stands out compared to all of the other places I've tried in Delco.

Vegetarian options: The veggie dumplings were amazing!

Parking: A small lot, as well as plenty of parking along the street.“

“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.“

“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!“

“So it feels like I’m getting away with a secret with how good the sesame chicken is and the quantity they give. The owners really care about the quality. If there is one thing they could improve in my opinion would be the rice, but the chicken (general and sesame) along with the lo mein is incredible.“

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

“I work in the same shopping center that Little Basil is located in every so often and every time I do, i make sure I eat from there. The food is both fresh and delicious and the owner and his wife are super friendly. I highly recommend this place.“

“I'm from "The Strip" in West Philly, but I live in Houston now. I wanted to taste home when I visited this summer. My friend took me to this place and it didn't disappoint. Friendly staff. Fair prices. Delicious, fresh, quality fried chicken wings, crab sticks, gizzards. It was worth every calorie and penny. Went back twice during my stay in Philly. Good place and conveniently located for West Philly locals. So good that I wrote this review several weeks later because I want more right now and I'm too far away! XD“

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

“Not that good“

“Tasty food, quick and friendly service. Sweet and sour chicken was great, but the mongolian beef was more onions than beef. It was delicious though and I like onions so I don’t think it’s worth docking points, plus the prices are so low it’s still worth the money.“

“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.“

“Best Chinese food in the area! We order from them regularly and never had a bad meal from here. Generous portions, great variety and reasonable prices. Quick delivery and friendly staff. I love the ability to order online directly through their website. Hot & sour soup, beef and broccoli and boneless pork ribs are my favorite! Highly recommend!“

“What a fantastic, intimate, family run restaurant. ALL of the food is fresh, and the flavors and appearance of the dishes are amazing. The menu covers Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. My only regret is that we don't live closer. This would EASILY be my go-to place, whether I'm dining in or getting take-out. Great job!!
Tonight's selection:
Pan fried pork gyoza
Hot and sour soup
Dragon roll and California roll
Orange chicken with fried rice
Pork pad Thai noodles
Fresh made green tea (iced)

Parking: Location is on a busy street. If you park in a metered spot, during paid parking hours, keep track of your time.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“A Chinese food place that I have been ordering from since I was little. It’s local and convenient. Great wonton soup and egg/spring rolls. They don’t have a huge variety of options but it is a smaller place. It’s also located in a good spot, right next to Double Decker and across from 7/11 so people are sure to recognize it“

“Clean,food is delicious. Never disappoints. Great service.“

“We got sesame chicken and sweet & sour chicken both with pork fried rice. The sesame chicken was crisp with just enough sauce and the sweet & sour chicken was so crunchy! The rice is flavorful with tender bits of pork and chunks of onion that were the perfect texture. The shrimp and pork rolls were golden brown and I wish I got more honestly. First time going; I heard about it from a friend at work. I definitely plan on going back and trying more!“

“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.“

“I've tried all of the available chinese food options in the gibbstown-paulsboro area and this place is far and above the best of them. The portions are great and the food is always tasty. The prices for all of them were about the same, but this place doesn't charge a really high additional fee for using credit/debit to pay. If you want Chinese food in this area, this is the only place you should go to.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I haven’t been liking most Chinese food lately but decided to give this place a try…. I ordered the general Tso’s chicken and it was AMAZING!!!!! I’ve been dying to find a good Chinese spot with chicken recently because every other place I’ve recently had gave me stringy nasty chicken… THIS PLACE HOWEVER MADE IT JUST RIGHT!!!! 10 out of 10. Will definitely be coming back here again!“

“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“

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

“I celebrated my nomination today in this great place. I am glad to say that it was a delightful evening and the venue was definitely one of the reasons for that fruitful celebration. The team helped in a very nice manner, the cuisine was very good and my buddies were so pleased. We shall no dout come back again for more joyful events. Thank you very much.“

“Best neighborhood Chinese food! There is always that 1 special restaurant that has everything and this is it. Good food, friendly staff and good service! Always clean and food is always fresh! Only thing I don't like is that they only take cash and sometimes I forget and I will use the ATM in the store, which I may not feel is the safest thing to do! But for the food and my forgetfulness, I will use it ?... loveee the chicken wings and veggie lo mein! Great selections on the menu but these are 2 of my faves to order... place ur order today! U won't be disappointed“

“The friendliest Schezwan food restaurant in the Northeast! The food is delicious and I'm sure authentic guessing from the patrons - who are mostly Asian. We have many favourite dishes here. Let me try and list a few cos none are 'recommend' options provided by Google:

Westlake beef soup
Beef lovers quarrel
Garlic cucumber
Dry chili pepper style chicken
Beef with chili green pepper
Mobile tofu with pork
String beans with minced pork
Spicy hot pot flavor fish fillet
Pork with cauliflower
To name a few :-)“

“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.“

“I live in Roxborough and Ichiban is my go-to spot to order take out. All of the food is tasty at good value for its price which is key.I get Sushi combos all the time and Lo-mein often as well.If your order pick-up do it through their website to save a few bucks!“

“Friendly and quick service. Whether it’s delivery or pickup, it doesn’t matter, the service is fast. As for the food quality, superb. Everyone I’ve bought food for from here always praises it. The price of the food is also very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Honestly, stop reading these reviews and order. Only “bad thing” is that they only take cash, I don’t really mind it.“

“Gave them low scoring on the atmosphere only because they haven't opened back up to the public since covid. I like their fried chicken, egg foo young, pork fried rice and fried dumplings, though the last fried dumplings I had were not hot enough. Still great place for pickup. Nice staff“

“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.“

“The customer service was top notch!!! The young lady that we dealt with was friendly and very inviting. The food was good, but I've tasted better. I would get food from them again. ?? I would also ask for them to cook my food a little longer.“

“A last minute find for Chinese food on Thanksgiving helped me discover a gem of a place with kind employees. Fair pricing & very fast service! I was 6 minutes away and they called that the food was ready after what couldn't have been the 10 minute wait time. They kept the food hot on the stove until I arrived. Thank you!!!“

“One Of The Best In That Area. My Only Complaint Is That They Only Take Cash.

Chicken Wings- 10/10 Seasoned & Fried Crispy. Some May Find Them Hard To Eat.

Pork Fried Rice- 7.7/10 It Was Missing Something, But It Tasted Good Nonetheless

Shrimp Lo Mein- 10/10 Didn’t Need To Add Nothing. Delicious.

Shrimp & Broccoli- 9/10 Not Much To Say About It. Lacked Shrimp. Made Up In Taste.“

“This is one of my favorite Chinese stores, I travel here from Philadelphia. They have some of the best food there. The chicken wings are the best to me. Every single time that I go here, I am welcomed and serviced properly! I love this place!“

“This business just so happens to have some of the better food and cleanliness in comparison to the other options that are in that specific neighborhood. Again (Compared to the other neighborhood options) Employee does round off prices/ totals to the nearest dollar and has made up prices a few times.Also the one lady who normally takes the food orders is just not nice or good with the way she handles what could be seen as a small issue, no matter how pleasant the patron is communicating the issue at hand, the woman seems to handle it poorly, even tossing someone’s “order” to the other end of the serving glass door and the persons change, while yelling things out. The usual demeanor of this woman is usually, impatient and slightly irritable. (I say this knowing what it is to work in customer service for many years and with all walks of life.)To keep it simple, she gets pretty disrespectful when it’s not called for and I’ve seen it firsthand and dealt with it myself but I do well at not entertaining ignorance. I just figured I’d prepare who ever may read this prior to their visit. (Certain types or looks may get better service. Police Officers for example)Good luck! : )“

“Food is always amazing ! My favorite Chinese place around! Definitely could would on service like the attitude towards customers and bring in more of a family atmosphere . Pretty small definitely not anywhere to dine in but take out is highly “

“We were in town for my daughter’s wedding and they made the entire dining experience amazing. It was a true pleasure to meet and chat with Margaret. They definitely went above and beyond for our big family to allow us to have a delicious meal and an wonderful dining experience“

“Yummy yummy is the only Chinese store that I eat from. The general tso wings is out of this world, amazing and fresh shrimp fried rice, my children loves the pizza rolls. Everything I’ve ever gotten from them is amazing. We take out at least once a week.“

“I have been a customer for the past 8 yrs. & I enjoy their food. I like the combination platters, 4 wings & fried rice, egg rolls but tonight I tried an appetizer a "cute seafood combination".I liked it along with the sauce. I was satisfied ? ?“

“My GO 2 for fresh hot food never had any issues with food or staff the rice is always so fluffy and delicious i can eat it plain... ALWAYS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!
I definitely recommend getting food here .

Vegetarian options: All are delicious“

“They easily have the best takeout Chinese I've had since living 2 years in Wilmington. They take a little longer to cook ur food but it's fresh, you can taste the difference. I have tried four to five other places and every single time been disappointed. I've never once been disappointed with Jing “

“Recently started working in the area and have been frequenting Dan Dan for takeout. So far I’ve had four different meals, and every one left me excited to try another! So good! Big plus that the workers are so friendly, and I even get a text when my order is ready so I don’t have to wait. Keep up the awesome work, Dan Dan!“

“This restaurant has an excellent vibe, and I enjoyed the food.“

“Vegetarian options: There vegetable low main was honestly the best I had in Philly the way I like it and I’m from Philly. I always past them. But finally went. They were mask and gloves I like the others so far. First thing I look at is pots and prep area and you can see there through the window.“
