Asia Wok
These people stand around and look at you knowing that you need to order laziness at this restaurant. Not like they’re doing any thing! Service is the worst and they could smile 😊 for goodness sake.
I ordered fried beef noodles and hot sour soup. Noodles are is delicious while the hot sour soup is fine. I am at Dallas for only one day and asked the owner for recommendations. Owner is very kind and wrote down 3 nearby attractions for me to explore in walking distance.
New Golden Bowl
This is the best Chinese food all around Pennsburg area. I came in to order lunch and it only took 8 minutes. The scallion pancakes was crispy and tasted great with the sauce. I ordered the lunch special and you get to choose between a soup or a soda. Great portion and didn’t find anything weird in our food. Will definitely come back for more!
Transplant from Boston and have struggled to find good Chinese food. Golden Bowl is great. Their food is not over cooked and they take pride in simple dishes. Congratulations because if you can make it in Boston you are good!
New Star
Disappointing food. We always try new Chinese restaurants with the hope of finding good, consistent cuisine. While the food appeared to be made well, the taste was just “not there“. We ordered Chow fun, the broad rice noodles. It had a cinnamony taste and I suspect they used a lot of five spice powder. The noodles were cooked well, but the aftertaste killed it. I ordered MaPo tofu , which is a good test of a Chinese restaurant. Everybody makes theirs differently, but despite the variations, it is often flavored well. This one had that same cinnamon taste that the chow funsuffered from. Tofu was used, as opposed to soft tofu in most restaurants, but I actually preferred it. But again, the flavor was not good. We ordered boneless spareribs. They are usually a good appetizer. These were tough and overcooked. Again, it tasted similar to the other food. If you enjoy the taste of the food, you will be blessed with consistency. You may have to drive a bit farther, but I believe there are better options within a reasonable radius.
Best Chinese food in the Lehigh Valley I assure you!!! The food is consistent, always delicious and always steaming hot when we come to pick it up. Can’t recommend this enough. Truly a hidden gem.
Tasty Dish Chinese Street Food
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tasty Dish, and I can't stop thinking about the amazing experience. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was made with the freshest ingredients. The flavors were bold and authentic, really capturing the essence of traditional Chinese cooking. Overall, I had an unforgettable dining experience, and I can’t wait to return! Whether you’re a fan of classic Chinese dishes or want to try something new, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
This is not your typical Chinese restaurant food. It is good and wellcrafted. Perhaps a little quirky but worth a try. There is lots of parking in the back and a ramp that brings you to the front of the building where the entry doors are. So looking for a parking place on the street is not a problem. We ordered four items since it was the first time trying the place. The price per person would have been less and we only ordered two. My usual test of a Chinese restaurant is to order MaPo tofu. Every restaurant makes it different, but it takes a skilled chef to make it flavorful. This restaurant did an excellent job. It was, perhaps, a little more oily than I like it. But it had great flavor and you could feel the Szechuan peppers. Unfortunately, I had not ordered from the restaurant and did not know that they would put sesame seeds on the teriyaki chicken and chicken fried noodles. Since one of us doesn’t eat sesame seeds it became a problem. In the future, I would know not to order without deleting the Sesame seeds. The stirfried eggplant rice bowl was delicious. Aside from the Sesame seeds, the chicken fried noodles were good. If you order them, they are Mei fun noodles, which are thinner than the typical lo mein noodles. The chicken teriyaki rice bowl was average. I didn’t think the chicken was that flavorful. I would not order it again. The menu is smaller than many Chinese restaurants, but each dish how do unique taste. It is better than a menu with 200 items many of which pretty much taste the same, which is not an uncommon theme in some takeout Chinese restaurants. There is also a dining area in the restaurant, although it is small and I think they probably do more takeout. I would recommend this place although it may take you several trips to figure out which dishes best suit your taste. There is an online ordering app, but I did not use it because it does not allow you to customize the dish (in case you want to leave off Sesame seeds.)
Casa Del Mofongo
This was our first experience here. It was amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered a chicken empanada, the mini mofongos, Bistec with veggies and sweet plantains, and the grilled pork chops in the house creole sauce. It's a shame we are so far away. We would definitely be ordering our way through the menu. I definitely recommend stopping in here and giving something a try. It was a great experience.
The mofongo is a garlic lover’s dream. The plantain itself has great texture, but the chicharrones were rather gravel-like and tough, so I’d recommend getting a different protein. Mofongo has a tendency to be extremely dry; the one here was moist. It’s a gigantic ball of starch that’s enough for 1.5 meals. Food here is generally very good, especially for the price. They have $10 lunch specials such as the rice with a quarter of chicken. The main issues are with service. I suspect customers are not coming back because of it. By American standards, service can come across as unfriendly, uncaring, and unwelcoming. The restaurant also insists that you buy bottled water; they will deny a request for tap water. If water were $1 it’d be more acceptable, but they charge $2 for a bottle. Sure they’ll get a quick two bucks but people will feel ripped off and choose to not return.
Ming Café
Ming Café is cozy and has variety on the menu. The noodle dishes are so flavorful. You can tell each dish is made with care. If you don't like onions, let them know if you order sweet and sour chicken.
Great food! For the price the food is worth it! Very good flavors, satisfying!
Food King
The house special lo mein was great. Finding dish scrubbie metal fragments in your lo mein is not so great. Nor is having the cashier (may have been the owner?) opening your car door and basically getting in the passenger seat to offer a remake. Like, I get it, things happen. I even rejected the $10 she offered for the inconvenience (I paid $20 total), but this was SUCH an invasive experience that it warrants a one star. Will not be going again.
Absolutely fantastic, I've been to plenty of Chinese food spots around the US during my time in the military, this one just seems to go above and beyond in terms of service and quality.
Swadee Thai house
Have been here many times. The food is always fresh, authentic and delicious. Huge shrimp in their dishes as opposed to other places that give you a few measly tiny shrimp. The Thai iced tea is awesome as well. The service is friendly and attentive. There’s a nice romantic atmosphere in the upper dining area.
Definitely suggest making a reservation if you are going during peak hours. They were busy when we arrived, but when they were able to seat us, they asked if we had a reservation and communicated that there may be a little wait for food since we didn't make a reservation. They still brought drinks quickly, they were very attentive, and the appetizers came out quickly. The curry puffs and dumplings were absolutely amazing. Most of us ordered the fried rice - the flavor of the beef was spectacular. I also like that the fresh vegetables were cut smaller than some places with the same dish- made them easier to eat. Atmosphere was cozy but enjoyable. Staff was attentive throughout the meal. Would definitely try other menu items here. I appreciate that they communicated and despite being very busy they were professional and courteous.
TD Vietnam Palace
One of my favorite places to eat in Stratford. The Vietnamese food is delicious and far more authentic than the fake fusion places (cough, Mecha, cough). The atmosphere is lovely and staff and owners are always friendly and welcoming.
Since the new owners took over the already good food has gotten even better. Very tasty, and inexpensive. It is hard to find a good curried chicken and rice anywhere for just $13. I came back again and ordered the most expensive dish: $15:50 for the Pineapple fried rice and the homemade coffee mouse cake for dessert. Both were excellent and the Jasmine tea in the stay- hot pot is a nice touch of class. I came back again and tried the made-from-scratch Lemon-Lime dessert slice. A taste of heaven in every mouthful! One doesn't usually go to a Vietnamese restaurant looking for desserts, but this was extraordinary They recently upgraded the decor
Kama Sushi
At first we thought no one is coming to this resto but we were wrong. We were just early 😅 Before we left almost all their tables were occupied. Food is okay. The staffs were so attentive with our needs, and the place is quiet unlike other buffet resto wherein as if you are in a market place. I like that it is a table top buffet so you do not have to stand up and get food. You just have to fill out the order form. They also give minimal servings which we like so as not to waste food.
Did the all you can eat. Food was really good. Fish tasted fresh. No reservation needed!
Sitting Duck Tavern
I had the salmon special with risotto and it was so delicious. It was like a little bit of heaven in every bite! It was flavorful and creamy. They definitely know how to cook a good fish. The dinner portions were a good size but the sandwiches/burgers were a bit smaller. The restaurant has a high end atmosphere with small tables and even a loft with more tables. I liked the décor and it was nice to see a bit into the kitchen. The waitress was very nice and friendly. She remembered the order of our large table but didn't stop back enough to fill the water glasses.
Tasty American Food Joint. Serves the specialty in forms of Tavern - Wings. Had a takeout order for the first time. Food was really good. Quantity is decent. Good variety from salads to American Burgers and the Wings. Their fries are really really delicious. Highly recommended.👍🏼 It was my 2nd time with this restaurant for Dine-In Again same experience with food. No doubt its good. But really sad to see such a pathetic service. The attendants were really busy in gossip. I asked for Ketchup and I didn’t even get it. The waitress were all rude & not even paying any attention to the orders. Taking out stars in rating caz of service
Dao Fusion Cuisine & Lounge
Went for sushi and it was excellent. Ordered chicken satay and shrimp curry to go. The chicken satay was just about the weakest chicken display I have ever seen. $9 dollars for maybe 3 ounces of chicken. Hate leaving a bad review but when I went back there to show her she said “ Yes it’s bigger when it starts”. Ummm what kinda chicken shrinks that much? Last time we will visit unfortunately. This chicken was extremely dry and chewy. Maybe leftover. Edit: 11//09/ 24 look at picture 4. That is chicken satay! Juicy and delicious.
The service was very fast. We were seated, then 2 minutes later they came to get our order. The sushi was alright. I would prefer it to be cold rather than warm. No loud music.
