50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Swarthmore

“Lovely little local family-owned Chinese take out place. Food is typical, prices are typical and we got to watch the kids grow up over the years. Instead of expecting a gleaming corporate veneer that glosses over everything, remember that you're basically dealing with a family and all the ups and downs that entails. Not perfect but still our go-to.“

“Take out only as in there aren't any servers. Not a problem. Just for your info.

AMAZING FOOD!

I'm vegetarian and I got the red Thai curry and it was So good! The lady at the register never got tired of hearing me say that. She was very lovely. Food was ready fast. I can't wait to go back and maybe try the green curry or one of the Chinese tofu dishes.“

“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.“

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

“Just had this place for the first time. Got the lunch special garlic chicken. HIGHLY recommended. If I’m being honest, the non-lunch-special prices are a little high for the area, but that’s not to say it’s not worth it. Best Chinese food I’ve had since Flushing, Queens.“

“CASH ONLY. They have an ATM on site though.

This place is great!

Typical Chinese takeout spot with a pretty standard menu. They have a great lunch deal during the week where you get an entree and either a soup or soda for like $10.

I’ve tried a bunch of things here and have never been disappointed. Portions are a good size and I usually have leftovers.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Not that good“

“This local restaurant features authentic Xi'an-style noodles and traditional Chinese dim sums, showcasing a rich culinary heritage. I especially enjoy the belt-thick Biangbiang noodles, handcrafted daily by skilled chefs and served with a hearty, savory meat sauce that highlights their al dente texture. The hot sour soup they offer, brewed with a delicate balance of vinegar and white pepper, is regarded as the best in town, offering a tangy complement to the other dishes. Although the restaurant has been modestly remodeled, with simple decor and practical furnishings, it maintains high standards of cleanliness and warm hospitality, creating a welcoming dining atmosphere.“

“I had high hopes after seeing a tiktok about how someone enjoyed the food and service here. Having said that the service was excellent. The owner was very sweet and thoughtful which I truly appreciated. The food however wasn't the best tasting in the city. The chicken wings were the best part but barely noteworthy. It tastes like my shrimp and broccoli has been seasoned with old bay and my white rice was a bit soft. The fried was was tasty but the general tso chicken was small and a little chewy. Cheesesteak Roll was good. Overall I'm not disappointed with my experience but I would have second thoughts about returning.“

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

“I discovered this place and oh my God we ordered from this place at least once a week hands down. they know how to make chicken it's juicy they know how to make everything they may fun is amazing The lobster on what is it shrimp with lobster sauce is amazing what else have we had the Lo Mein is amazing my guy friend gets it since he had he's on Ozempic, the portions are perfect. and the the Hong Kong wonton soup is amazing the spicy soup is amazing you have the flu fever covid just get that and drink it all day and you need something on a budget. it's not expensive so go for that and with the appetizers someone is going to like something in the house absolutely amazing food. great people and yes they've been known to give us extra chicken sorry if I got anybody in trouble...🤗🤗🤗🤗💗“

“I have been in the general area most of my life but bought a home about half a mile from this place about 9 years ago. I had given up hope in finding a local Chinese takeout when I accidentally found New Hong Kong. I was really craving Chinese and I was really nervous because I was broke !! lol! But, I knew it would last a couple of days so I splurged. I got the fried dumplings, crab Rangoon and sesame chicken with lo mein instead of rice combo for $26. Generous portions but still skeptical. I got it home and it looked so good. Tasted delicious!! I was pleasantly surprised and it was so good I even called them to compliment them , which I never do! The only complaint I have is the amount of filling in the dumplings was not enough. I mean noticeably empty. The dumpling itself was light and airy and made me wonder uf they used wonton wrappers ( pre made) but still good just not nearly enough filling. The dumpling sauce was different as well and not something I cared for. It was not sweet it was extremely spicy. But, I now have a go to and highly recommend!“

“I have only ordered take-out delivery. The orders are accurate and delivery is quick. But -the food is delicious. Absolutely the best Hot and Sour soup. I ordered Wonton Soup tonight and I cannot believe how tender the wontons were. Just delicious!“

“One of my favorite places to go—never disappoints!“

“We wanted to try something new in old City. Love the area. There was great smell coming from the place and it drew us in. The food was good and our server was good.“

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

“This is my second time ordering from Hong Kong Asian Cuisine, and once again, the food was exceptional. The General Taos Shrimp was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into each dish. I’ll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend“

“Everything about this place is great the ppl alone are so nice and would help u even if u didnt have money, the food is so so so worth every penny, and the restaurant is very clean and comfortable. They don’t let just ppl sit there and hangout. I love that about them! Try them if you haven’t already and if u have I see no other reason to go anywhere else for Chinese food!“

“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.“

“Wasabi 4 has amazing food that’s always fresh! The restaurant is clean, cozy and very inviting. Perfect for a date night or family dinner. The service is constantly top notch and everything I’ve tried has been perfect. Presentation and taste- 10/10! I have recommended this location to several of my friends & family. Definitely a fantastic option for high quality sushi!“

“This place has wonderful food with great friendly service. I have only ever gotten takeout and it's not really a sit down restaurant although they do have a few tables. I have gotten food from here many times and will continue to do so eventhough I am living out of the area now because it is the best Chinese food I have had in the last 10 years in the area.“

“This is a good place to eat from they're one of the good Chinese store if you have a problem they do they're best to fix it the 11 trolley and the 108 bus is right outside the police station is right across the street so this is not one of those hang out spot if you can call and order it“

“Food is delicious, nice and hot! Lady working there was quite pleasant and accommodating. Store was very clean when I came. Floor had just been freshly mopped and smelled of bleach. I placed a big order which was made quickly. Shrimp and broccoli, shrimp fried rice, General Tso chicken, and fried wings. Everything was fresh and very tasty! Will order here again 😋“

“My brother and I decided that we desired Chinese food after a long morning and afternoon of doing errands on this Friday, February 26th, 2021. This was our last stop and I decided to stop here because I am a regular at Planet Fitness, which is within walking distance. My brother ordered spare ribs, while I ordered a small Wonton soup(My absolute favorite Chinese dish), shrimp and broccoli with brown rice and an egg roll. The gentleman that waited on us, told us that the entree of shrimp and broccoli, the egg roll comes with it. We took it home and ate it. The wait wasn't long and the food was worth the wait. We will be back. My brother and I enjoyed our food. A good experience!!!

Friday, January 2, 2026 - I decided to come here after a wonderful workout at the Edge Fitness Center in Deptford, NJ. I had a taste for Chinese food. It was okay this time. I was disappointed about the brown rice. I asked for brown rice and they gave me white rice with brown sauce. I thought that was taking the easy way out. Also I asked for steamed shrimp with mixed vegetables. I received a lot of broccoli and maybe one carrot and some small mushrooms. There were not enough mixed vegetables. There should have been more mushrooms and carrots., I will check my food the next time that I order Chinese food or any food at all. Also the Won ton soup, which I ordered a quart size, was mostly water and not a lot of won tons. The shrimp egg roll was good. My experience was ok today. However I do not think I will be returning here again. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants to patronize besides this one. Have a good night, workout, be fit and fabulous especially since its a new Year. Good night.“

“A great go-to neighborhood spot for comforting Chinese. Always delicious food and kind staff. The pork lo mein is particularly delicious, with tasty little morsels of perfectly cooked and flavorful meat. Also love the egg drop soup, chicken on a stick, and chicken wings.“

“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“

“This is the definitive takeout Chinese American fast food joint. Unlike others in the area, it's not a franchised place and the chicken actually has chicken in it and not a processed chicken tasting substitute. After a 15 minute drive home, everything was still too hot to eat. Well done!“

“Outstanding food with fresh ingredients, always prepared meticulously. The spice is addicting!“

“of course its exceptional! what a wonderful experience. from the initial phone call to the followup notification that my food was ready, to the clean and well stocked storefront, to the friendly and charming service, i was pleased with my experience. the food was top notch, the portion fair, the price just and egalitarian, and the texture and composition second to none. thank you hong wei restaurant for an unforgettable luncheon“

“Hmm... pleasantly surprised. I've lived in Lansdowne for 23 years and I really didn't even know it was there. The other Chinese place in Lansdowne is dirty and gross, so I'd been going to Drexel Hill for CJ Wok. Which was my plan this evening, but I was at the light on Marshall road and saw a woman cleaning the front door of Hong Kong Kitchen. Decided to order from there. The Shrimp and Snow Peas were pretty good, as was the hot and sour soup. I'm going to try this place again and order different things.... and I may be increasing this to a 5 star review.“

“The atmosphere was great because the guy that was high was not self conscious at all.

Vegetarian options: I would not be confident that there is no cross contamination of beef.

Parking: Parallel park

Kid-friendliness: If you're okay exposing your children to people as high as the moon, then amazing.

Wheelchair accessibility: Unsure 🤔“

“This was my first time getting delivery from this spot on Uber Eats. It did not disappoint. I had the steamed veggie dumplings, chicken egg foo young, and a spring roll with an option for house-made sauces. The steamed dumplings seemed to have been made by hand and stuffed with different vegetables, with a nice sweet garlic sauce on the side. The chicken egg foo young was the best I've had for delivery. The egg was nice and fluffy with a tasty gravy and white rice. If you opt for a spring roll, please get two because you will wish you had another; it was springin'. The house-made sauces beat out the packaged versions. The house-made duck sauce was delicious, but be warned that the mustard sauce will rattle the senses, yet your taste buds will want more. It's like if tasty and being cautious got together. I would order again from here.“

“The food was fresh and good, they already have a lot of stuff premade it seem like but it was still fresh and quick service. I got 5 wings and broccoli with garlic sauce and white rice, it was so good! The only downside is the times they open so I couldn’t get more while I was in Philly but definitely would recommend and return. Oh! And great pricing I paid $11 for that“

“Was taken aback by the renovated menu appearance! Food was really good though. $38 could easily feed 4. I recommend the lo mein & shrimp egg roll. The beef with broccoli & pork fried rice were good too. The sesame chicken was not fresh but that’s okay because the crab Rangoon was good.“

“Prices are a little high but overall the food is pretty good. Lunch special prices are great but outside of that orders can get very expensive very quick if ordering multiple things. Definitely call and order, don't use the online ordering cause the fee is ridiculous, like you could order an entire additional pint of anything on the menu with what you'll save calling in your order. General Tso's is always delicious tho sometimes I wish it was a little crispier. For whatever reason their Lo Mein is pretty bad anymore, used to be great. Food is always ready very fast, even delivery arrives really quick compared to anywhere else we order delivery from.

Parking: Plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible front door, may have to go a little down the row of stores for an onramp to the curb though.“

“Was in the mood for Chinese and ended up finding this place online. The woman over the phone was very polite and professional. She informed me that she would call me back when the food was ready which she did. When we arrived the food was still super hot and fresh and ready. We ordered the house fried rice with wings platter, house lo mein no pork, and an order of broccoli in the brown sauce. The food was absolutely delicious!!!! The wings were large!!! Everything was soooo fresh!!! Price was extremely reasonable and this is the first Chinese store in YEARS to give free fortune cookies with the meal. Will definitely return!!“

“absolutely wonderful! They were very kind and the food was delicious“

“Food delicious...prices are reasonable..take note if you order 2 lunch specials both will not come with a free soda...one will come with either wonton soup or egg roll..you won't be able to choose 2 free sodas so make sure both of yall dont need anything to wash down food with lol“

“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 first time visiting on a Sunday night. I was happy and appreciated them seating us as they were closing soon. The server was very helpful when it came to ordering from the menu. She was friendly as well. The food was tasty and they give large portions. I had two different flavored lemon drops. I can’t wait to go back!!“

“Jade Spring is the best Chinese food in the area. The counter lady, Cindy, is sweet and a great worker. She hooks it up with the cookies and sauces 🙂‍↕. the wait is reasonable. The restaurant is bright and inviting. They don’t take card but their Venmo and cashapp links are clearly placed making card payments like that easy peasy. The food is always fresh, super tasty, and not to mention presented beautifully. They give the perfect beef/broccoli ratio. Today I ordered general tso beef+broccoli and LOVED IT. Probably gonna be my go to order now 😅I also love how they give a 3 pack of spring rolls, a lot of places only give 2.
Also the deal where you spend $20+ (i believe) and get a free 24 oz water bottle is pretty cool! Their blue juice and half/half is also BOMB. It’s the perfect amount of sweetness 🤤 the only negative about Jade Spring is the fact they are closed on Mondays 😅“

“Food was amazing, nice spacious dining area and the staff is very attentive and friendly. Would 1000% recommend this place.“

“Amazing food and the best staff“

“I love their egg foo yung. If they can reduce the amount of salt they put in the gravy, it would be perfect. Other than that it is on point. The common area is not the most desireable but the food is pleasing.

Parking: You have to park on the street. Most of the times you might have to double park in front or around the corner.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is not wheelchair accessible.“
