19 Best Chinese Restaurants near West Grove

“We picked up dinner at China Kitchen for the first time this week to support our son's FBLA fundraiser that China Kitchen graciously supported. The food was amazing. We will definitely be back soon and recommend it to all our friends and family. We love 'finding' new spots for take out, and China Kitchen is definitely on the rotation!“

“Had a great meal at ugly dumpling, greeted with great service right away! Service was personable and accommodating to my stroller and a high chair for toddler. The establishment is extremely clean and beautifully designed. Waitress was helpful in assisting with menu, family style small plates, 3-4 plates for a couple suggested. We loved the dumplings with spicy sauce on side and sesame noodles. So fun to see everyone working on hundreds of beautiful, delicate, and delicious dumplings! 🥟 thank you ugly dumpling team!“

“We've been coming here since they opened and have never had anything we didn't like. Best lo mein, dumplings, iced tea, and ramen around!“

“It was nice to have dinner inside a restaurant. You could see the care of clean up, the guests were spaced nicely. Our meals were fresh, full of flavor, and enough for a lunch the following day. Our server Pat was her ever charming self and mixes a great basil lemon cocktail.“

“I am picky, and more so with Chinese cuisine. This restaurant is the best in the area. I have tried 5 others in the region and I will not go back to any of them. I pass 2 on my way here. China 1 reminds me of a restaurant I went to in Philadelphia that's had top ratings. I recommend the garlic wonton.“

“I just had the pleasure of eating here for the 1st time. The service was excellent, food was delicious and the atmosphere was incredible. Loved everything. I will be back and telling friends that they definitely need to experience this delite.“

“Vietnamese iced coffee and taro milk tea were both delicious. Onigiri, salmon and eel were both enjoyed as well as the takoyaki. Wing ding were crispy with great flavor. The golden buns were soft inside with the crunch of the outside made for a great bite. The gyoza, shiu mai both had the crunch with soft fillings, both with a burst of flavor. Singapore fried rice vermicelli was flavorful and delicious, and a large portion. We enjoyed our lunch very much (including 3 kids). Service was friendly and quick.“

“Employees hard at work, was quick in and out with my food and tastes incredible. The sesame chicken was crunchy on the outside and soft delicious chicken on the inside, the white rice was cooked to perfection. I’d recommend this place to anyone“

“First time here and it was very good. Order was on time, put together correctly and tasty. We haven’t had good luck in the past 2 years with Chinese take out - it’s great to find a good place. Basically take out only no tables to sit at.“

“I/we absolutely enjoy every dish we’ve ever ordered here. The owner is an absolute delight! She and her staff do a great job. They put out quality food. The amount of food at the price is spot on. Honestly they give more than they should. We’ve been coming for over a decade. We used to make a 30 ish min drive each way before. Now we live closer and are thrilled to indulge more. Give them a try. They’ll become a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly must have!!“

“This Chinese food was bomb! The sauce on my chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce was amazing. I had the perfect amount of spice to give it the little kick without being overly spicy. The shrimp fried rice was very small, but very good. I had a decent amount of shrimp in it and had very good flavor. The rice was not greasy. I took off a star because I got the combination platter and it was supposed to come with an eggroll, but it was not in the bag. Even though the worker behind the counter told me he put duck sauce in the bag for it.
But overall, it was delicious!“

“We came for the sushi. Got a bubble tea and the boba is the softest boba I have ever had. I think they may actually make them in house so good. The sushi deal is great comes with miso soup and salad all was make with care and really fresh. This place is pretty clean which I appreciate. The service was great everyone was super nice. The food is made with care and spiced really well. It’s probably the best Miso soup I have had and I have traveled a lot. I was really happily surprised!“

“So if you want a ritzy experience this isn't for you, if you want an authentic as it's going to get in the United States with a Philadelphia Chinatown feel this is what you want. I mean I don't even want my Chinese food if there's not a kid doing homework. Got the counter and maybe a grease bucket outside. Also for you folks that have never traveled. Guess what? This is China.“

“I was looking for Chinese food around campus and this was the best decision. The food was perfectly saucy and flavorful and they served it on a plate AND the lady gave us cups of water!! I’ve never had that at a Chinese food place and it was above and beyond. It tasted delicious and the workers were all friendly. Prices are good and the portion size is good and I ended up ordering another because it was so delicious. This is my new favorite place and I definitely will come back.“

“We had the pig intestine stir fried dry pot, it was authentic and delicious. But the BBQ was a bit misleading. As you can see that the skewers were cooked in the kitchen and brought out and put on the heated box. Those lamb, beef and chicken skewers were delicious.“

“First time trying this place and I can honestly say it was delicious. My sweet and sour chicken and fried rice were perfect. My daughter got lo mein. Noodles are really hearty and tasteful. Also got the chicken and rice soup that was delicious. There prices are really good as well. Service was 10 out of 10. I was very impressed. Highly recommend. I do not leave many reviews but I felt I needed to because was so good.“

“The staff here were really friendly and came by often to check on us. We got sitted immediately after we walked in and the place and bathroom were clean. The food was good too but they dont give itemised receipts and supposedly the tip is added automatically. The Bill for two people was about 46$“

“My family and I have been ordering from here for years. We usually do take-out. Some times it's hard to place an order over the phone. But the food makes it worth the trouble. Place is always busy and because of that the food is always fresh. The owners are very nice and always try their best to satisfy the customer.“

“I've been eating here for years and it is one of my favorite places in Newark, or anywhere in Delaware for that matter. It is a really unusual restaurant and is not very user-friendly to people used to American Chinese food.

The people here don't speak great English, which can be annoying. However they are patient and will work with you even if you are not familiar with the food.

And the food is really good. The prices increased after COVID but I still think they are excellent value for your money.

If you are intimidated, some items I recommend are Cumin Lamb, Shredded Pork with Dried Bean Curd & Chinese Celery, Shredded Pork & Potato with Long Hot Peppers, Fish Fillet with Sour Cabbage & Vermicelli Soup, Scallion Pancakes, Stir Fried Lotus Root & Veggie with Cashew & Walnut, Shredded Potato with Long Hot Peppers in Vinegar Sauce, Eggplant in Garlic Sauce, Family Style Bean Curd, Sauteed Baby Bok Choy, Braised Eggplant with String Beans, and Pumpkin Pancakes. There are also some other items not on the main menu. I forget what it's called but there is a casserole that is a lot like Italian Wedding Soup, it has meatballs, noodles, and cooked greens in a clear broth.

The food here is VERY different. It's most similar to sichuan/szechuan food but even there it is quite different from that. Some of it can be very spicy. But there are mellow items too.

Give this place a chance. It is unusual and different but really full of flavor and there are some fantastic things that will really open you to a new culinary experience!“
