China Delight

Delicious food and great service! We ordered General Chicken and Beef with Vegetables ✨ We also got the Jasmine tea for a drink and we loved it. 100% recommend this place

We have lived up here for 5 years and have tried pretty much every Chinese restaurant in the area. They start out decent enough but they always wind up disappointing. We have never tried this place because I always forget they are down in Dingmans Ferry but last night my husband Googled Chinese food near us and this place came up so we decided to try it. We did read the reviews so we were not hopeful. How wrong are these reviews! If you are judging this place is food by their appearance you are doing a disservice to yourself and to anyone else that reads the reviews. I went in thinking the worst to pick up my food and looked around to find this place is very clean. Yes it's old and dated but we find that some of the best old and dated places have the best food and this place did not disappoint in that area. We are from Brooklyn New York so we have had some of the worst and the best Chinese food we've ever tasted. And if you are at all familiar with Williamsburg Brooklyn there was a place called Kam-Wah that had the absolute best food in our area. My husband and I would both put this food from China Delight up against kam-wah any day if they were still open. Is it as good as Wo-Hop Manhattan probably not, but their food was absolutely perfect. We ordered a lot of food for the house including the pepper steak, the roast pork fried rice, the vegetable fried rice, the beef fried rice, boneless spare ribs, chicken noodle soup, chicken rice soup, they gave us a dozen of their donuts for free as a thank you and my husband's in order a few things that I cannot even name and he is a cynic when it comes to Chinese food. He is not a fan of Chinese food at all he is a pizza person but he was not feeling good last night and he wanted the soup and he cannot believe how amazing their food was. So please before you write any review on this place I hope you read this and overlook their appearance or anything else judge them solely on their food because it was absolutely delicious. As far as I am concerned it was absolutely nothing wrong with their restaurant. Everything was clean from the floors to the counter and even all the stainless steel from the kitchen that you could see it was all very clean. I spoke with the girl behind the counter while she was begging up out food and she told me they've been there for 17 years and possibly even longer but that is how old she is and she knows they have been there her whole life she was so nice and polite and friendly and so were the other people I wave to behind the counter. All I have to say is I know we have found a new home in China Delight. We will be ordering from them anytime we want Chinese and now that I've tasted their food I could say I hope we order Chinese more often. To me this is the Hidden Gem of Dingmans Ferry and Milford!!! 9/7/24 UPDATE My mom came to visit for the month & we were craving Chinese food.. I ordered again from China Delight to see what she thought about their food vs Long Island & NY in general & she LOVED IT too! If there was one thing I could do without is the peas in the Roast pork fried rice. They are never cooked until they're soft & in general I just don't like them in my rice. LOVE that they put egg in it though!

This place makes me cringe a bit. I brought the food, tried a bit..but most went in the trash. Just pulling up and seeing the outside, I knew I would not be eating here more than once. The photos don't really show it as well as when you're there. I ordered fried dumplings, and sweet and sour chicken, neither were very good. The fried rice had nothing but egg in and and was extremely dry. The chicken was obviously the cheapest fatty cuts you can get, and it was rubbery to chew. Maybe my taste for the food was biased by the look of the place, but I can't abide by Chinese Americans who own restaurants and go crazy putting up plastic shields, slide draws for transactions, not allowing people into their stores sometimes etc etc, and yet don't give a lick about cleanliness. Why is cleaning your business so hard to do....who wants to eat in a place that is this unkept?? I really wonder what the heck we have a heath department for....how the heck does it get a Servisafe certification??

China Delight was not so bad, if you know which one to order. Pepper Steak and pork fried rice were good. But the shrimp lo main was absolutely NG. I don't how they flavor the lo main. It's not a standard flavor and it was not good. But after all, I appreciate their business. It's convenient for me.

The most important thing to mention is that the food is up to par to city standards. Can be inconsistent based on who is cooking your food. Not all the chefs have the same standards. What I like the most is the prices are affordable and the protection the owner takes to ensure the spread of COVID is close to zero. I enclosed pictures for those google readers who are concerned about catching the virus. I will continue to order here since the security and precautions this place has is far greater than other establishments.
