Diner Review №1

We love this place. We moved away a while ago and miss living so close. We still swing by when we're in the area. Very fair prices for very good takeout food. Anyone complaining about the kids (they're nice, I used to "work" when I was a kid too!) or hospitality is showing that they are more immature and entitled than the kids they are complaining about. Maybe having a little job when they were a kid would have helped those cry babies grow up a little bit.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. They are so friendly and accommodating.

Diner Review №9

Pretty great take out, saw their bowls and was hooked. The dragon had less eel, but decent everything else from avocado and imitation crab.
The tempura bowl was beyond. Huge pieces. Only thing I would as for is more sauce. And for only 12 bucks each is amazing.
The Thai mango fried rice was lighter than I expect in color and a bit wetter of a fried rice. It was tasty and a bit sweet. I would like a bit more soy sauce or color.
Will definitely come back and mess with the customizable bowls.

Diner Review №10

Ordered online. Food was to be ready in 20 min. Took 1hr and 2 min. Will never go back

Diner Review №11

The chicken wings were cool but the garlic sauce was very overly salty and having the kids taking orders did not pan well as they got my order wrong. Very disappointing

Ok… first thing is first. I AGREE WITH THE REVIEW THAT SAYS BEST IN CAMDEN COUNTY! When I tell you I’ve tried at least 10 places and they all suck , until I found this… it’s the best and I will keep coming! Thank you ! Xie xie!

Diner Review №16

The food was seasoned well

Diner Review №19

My family and I usually order takeout from here and it’s pretty good, probably one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area. We ordered later than usual one night, and picked up about 30 minutes before they closed, my egg foo young gravy was burned and noticeably smelled burned when I opened the container. My fiancé said that his chicken tasted over reheated and not fresh. Very underwhelming..

Diner Review №20

Food is pretty good. Did not dine in, but so far, is the best in this area. Been there two times. Vert good both times.

Diner Review №21

Both of the meals we ordered were horrible. Bourbon chicken was super fatty, way too many vegetables and the sauce was just gross. The sweet and sour chicken was like rubber. Rice was super mushy. They charge more than other chinese restaurants too.

Diner Review №22

Food is good, nothing too special. Don't order from here if you're hungry because you will wait forever! I ordered 2 sushi rolls, a couple pizza rolls, and steamed broccoli. I was quoted 20-30 minutes, showed up 45 minutes after ordering, and ended up waiting 1 1/2 hours. Service is slow and this has been an going issue for years. I ordered from there every few months to see if it has improved but it hasn't at all. I also don't like the fact that they have their young children working the registers. I don't think I'll be ordering from them again.

Diner Review №23

A traditional takeout or dine in restaurant. The Masalla (sp?) bowl is excellent as is the pricing. These days it seems all other takeout places in general, actually shrank their carryout portion sizes and simultaneously increased their price. Thank you China Cook for sticking with making great food.

Diner Review №24

Mixed vegetables 😋

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

My first time trying China Cook......The food was delicious...
I ordered the Dragon & Phoenix from the chef specials section and the mango Thai fried rice. Loved both dishes. The only negative thing is that I waited in the store for 1.5 hours for my food. BUT it was Christmas night and only 2 employees working.

Diner Review №27

Diner Review №28

if you want chinese takeout, go here. it is the best spot in a 20 minute radius driving trust me

Diner Review №29

Excellent

Diner Review №30

GF loves the food. We always order pickup, it is never ready.
I show up 10min after eta, am told it'll be another 10mins, have waited as long as 30mins.
Very poor at providing close to accurate pickup times, but will say food is good.
Also not a fan that their young children work the front counter.

Diner Review №31

Waited 45 mins for two platters of Sesame chicken and rice

Diner Review №32

They have two children behind the counter with nasal discharges. They screwed up some orders. The food is good but not great. When you have visible sickness behind the register, you a 2 as a gift.

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

Ordinary Chinese takeout. The food was brought to our table in takeout containers, plastic cutlery and paper plates for us to sort out. My Egg Foo Yung wasn't very good. My friend enjoyed her Pad Thai.

Diner Review №35

they got a preteen kid running the register, getting yelled at by the public.. avoid.

Diner Review №36

Hot, fresh food for great prices. They have great lunch specials. Food did not take long to prepare. The sesame chicken and orange chicken dishes were great.

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

BEWARE!!!! I think new ones and cook. Food not the same! Bland tasting. Been order chicken chowder main since the opened, now totally different! Extremely disappointed!!!! Sad, I use to love this place.

Diner Review №39

Went here before also ordered out the food is definitely great it's very fresh I had the sesame chicken with brown rice amazing my fiance had the shrimp and broccoli with white rice the rice is so fluffy and fresh and the vegetables were nice and crisp

Diner Review №40

Personal favorite place for Japanese food in the area

Diner Review №41

Great Chinese and sushi. Never have a complaint. Looks clean. Taste great

Diner Review №42

The owner is the HARDEST WORKING WOMAN I know. She makes Excellent Food! Her food is worth it every time. Yummy 😋

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

Amazing food, great service, super friendly, the interior has been redone and it looks so nice. Been going here for years and the food is still great. The owners are very welcoming. Everyone I take here says this is not their favorite Chinese food restaurant. Keep up the great work!

Diner Review №45

I haven’t ordered from them in years. I’m a picky eater but this takeout is fit for a king. Finally found General T’s chicken they way I remember it was made long ago

Diner Review №46

I was blown away! Food was excellent, it’s been so long since I have had decent Chinese food but this exceeded all my expectations! So fresh and full of flavor! This was probably THE best Chinese I have ever had ! We will make this our number one spot!

Diner Review №47

Used to be my go-to Chinese spot but in the recent 6 months the food quality has decreased significantly. The chicken has been crunchy the past few times I ordered my regular. Definitely will be giving this place a break for a bit.

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

This is the best place for cheese food I have had in a long time. The vegetables are fresh and delicious I definitely will be ordering from there again

Diner Review №50

Phenomenal food and quality, just long wait times

Diner Review №51

good

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

I waited over 30 minutes to receive my 14.00 order. And the Habachi meal was bland. I will not order from there again. The restaurant is too expensive, has extended wait times and the food is terrible!

Diner Review №54

I don’t eat Chinese food regularly, but this was always my go to. Ordered last night and it was awful. The quality of the chicken was almost inedible. The seasoning was off, and even the sweet tea was not the same. I’m not sure what happened there, but I will never return.

Diner Review №55

I do recommend this restaurant. Food is great and place is clean. Never had bad service

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

good sushi and good Chinese take out

Diner Review №58

Ordered shrimp fried rice and asked to make spicy, multiple time. I was assured it was spicy, but it was anything but. Rice was also half-cooked. Very dissatisfied. Would not return.

Diner Review №59

Food is good, better quality than most Chinese restaurants. Large portions. Great sushi burritos. Sadly the tempura’s are breaded with panko, not a true tempura. Which is strange because they used to make tempuras the right way.

Diner Review №60

Lugar muy agradable y buena atencion

Diner Review №61

Sushi burritos .... amazing!
Fresh - my fav ... shrimp tempura ... the avocado & eel sauce compliments itself well!

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

This place deserves more than a standing ovation after the meal that my wife and I just devoured. I had to pace myself and when I was done I was full which is usually hard to pull off wish a sushi dish for me. The sushi burritos were literally the size of actual restaurant burritos unlike some I've had that are just uncut rolls. I am making this place my only sushi spot from now on. P.s shout out to the restaurant for throwing in 2 free drinks with my order. I would have been fine paying for them.

Diner Review №65

We ordered our dinner last night(Thanksgiving) The food was EXCELLENT. BEST Chinese I've ever had. Out 1st time here and we will be back soon.

Diner Review №66

Excellent food & very generous portions. Would definitely recommend this place. Will return again!

Diner Review №67

They have salt & pepper fish which I absolutely loved until they changed the way it was prepared probably won't order that again.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

A little below average Chinese food. Everything is served in a take out container.

Diner Review №70

I love this place! Their sushi is ALWAYS fresh and never have a fishy taste. The rest of the menu is also very good. The family who runs it seem very nice and their prices are very affordable. They didn't up their prices after the pandemic that's a big plus to me! I recommend china cook to anyone.

Diner Review №71

Delicious! Very nice flavor for everything. And it was so sweet that two young ladies we're working the register. LOL
Beat of all, we received huge portions for a very fair price.

Diner Review №72

I have been coming to this takeout ever since it opened. Honestly it’s one of the better Chinese restaurants out there.

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Good food, online ordering, friendly staff. You really can't ask much more of a hole-in-the-wall chinese takeout shop. Get the boneless spare ribs! Absolutely to die for.

Update 3/18/22 - 1 Star Docked for very small inconsistencies in things like texture and cooked veggies. Otherwise, still incredibly good. Not a single bad meal on the menu.

Diner Review №75

i really hate to write this...

but when we visited on 6/23/22 the lady at the front let the 5 year old kids greet us at the door and, then, ZERO SERVICE....so she may just be a racist.

i think when customers come to eat, the person at the front desk says hello and welcomes guests. but the lady running the place was ON HER PHONE and could NOT be bothered.

we walked out

Diner Review №76

Walked in to have lunch and walked out after 5 minutes of not getting service and not even hello. The lady was too busy playing with her phone. No hospitality what so ever

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

Very nice family restaurant. Shrimp dish was to die for!

Diner Review №79

Exelente

Diner Review №80

Decent place and food with the whole family pitching in, it's cute.

Diner Review №81

Had trouble rating this place as I only ordered 2eggs rolls. They came out fast enough and the price was fine. The taste was good. Problem was the amount of oil still in/on them. I actually squeezed them to remove as much as I could. Never seen so much. Not sure what caused that, but it was my only reason for the reduced review.

Diner Review №82

Wasn't that good especially with so many other Chinese rake outs around

Diner Review №83

Stopped in while my car charged up the hill. The Dragon bowl was great, everything was prepared fast and fresh.

Diner Review №84

Very good food each time I order taste fresh very hot and never long wait great service from staff

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

Perfect every time 10/10 would recommend

Diner Review №87

I used to love the food here. Now that the mother and son are no longer there the food is absolutely HORRIBLE and DISGUSTING. Even down to the home-made ice tea and pineapples are nasty. The chicken used to seem to always be cooked in fresh grease and nice size. Now it's just GROSS. I live near by and used to smell the food all the time now I smell nothing. When I 1st moved out here a few years ago they were just reopening. I see them reclosing in the near future.

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

Went there months ago and ordered General Tso and it was so good I had to compliment the chef. Went back today 1/18/22 and ordered General Tso and it was not good...it wasn't spicey... sauce was not the same. One piece of broccoli cut in half and the rice was bland. Will not be back. #just when you thought you found a good Chinese restaurant.🤢 they must be under new management.

Diner Review №90

Terrible service..more concerned abt door dash n take out orders and not dining in customers..waited 20m after sitting to put order in..underage kids 3-6yrs old working behind counter...too young

Diner Review №91

Good sushi and never had a bad thing on the menu their Philly cheesesteak egg rolls are good

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

Listen, China Cook used to be really good. Until the owners sold it. There is now a child at the front desk taking your order (I just checked, its illegal for children under 14 to work at a restaurant), and the quality of the food isn't great. The last couple of times me and my family got food from there, they forgot to give some of the stuff to us.

Diner Review №94

Great food thank you

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Hands down their food is incredible, portion size is amazing and so is the flavor.

Diner Review №97

This place used to be great but the last couple of times it’s a real disappointment. The hot and sour soup has changed and instead odd mushroom and roast pork in it you only get tofu and cabbage. The bourbon chicken has so little sauce on it you couldn’t taste it and the same with the pad Thai. No flavor. I won’t be going back.

Diner Review №98

I love this place, I live about 20+ minutes away and I will drive here whenever I want to eat their food. Their food is that good to me compared to other surrounding restaurants.

Diner Review №99

Great food. Great selection. A little pricey, but very yummy

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

the food is very tasty I recommend the staff very friendly

Diner Review №106

This place used to be great! The food was delicious. There is clearly all new people and little girls, or king there. The chicken is poor quality and sauces gross. I asked if the woman, with her 2 little girls are new owners and she said no. But, I don’t believe it. The mother/son that used to run the place haven’t been there the past 3 times. Will not be back!

Diner Review №109

It was weird. They had their kid take my order. At first I played along and made a “pretend” order as I awaited for the owners to come back. But after 10mins of entertaining the kid, I realized they weren’t coming back. I get that you want to teach the kids young, but she was no more than 9years old. At least don’t leave her unsupervised. It was very unprofessional, in my opinion.

Diner Review №110

Diner Review №111

Excellent! What more can u ask for, Chinese, Japanese and Thai food in one place. Nice variety to select from. Great family run restaurant and very very clean.

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

Prices gone up. Overcooked. Owner kids talk to much to you. (Not cute)

Diner Review №114

We love the Poké Bowls! Fresh ingredients, sizable portions & reasonably priced. 😊👍

Diner Review №115

Diner Review №116

My go to for a healthy meal

Diner Review №117

I ordered fried chicken wings with vegetable fried rice. The chicken did not taste good at all and the fried rice was very bland for my taste buds. Was not happy at all with my food.

Diner Review №118

Great food,
2 Great little helpers too

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

I had to wait a long time and my order was taken wrong (only one thing), but it was also understandable because of how busy and because the one who took my order was a little girl. The staff were quick to fix the mistake with the order and provide an apology. If I could, I'd certainly come back to eat there when Dine-In is allowed.

One of our favorites! Great selection and all the food has been delicious. Mango Thai chicken is the best! Don't forget an order of chinese donuts.

Diner Review №141

The food is great!

Diner Review №142

This place is hands down the best place I’ve ever been to! From their sushi to their soups, apps, main meals. We had a big order for a lot of people last night and everything was amazing. Besides the food being not only the biggest portions but best flavor and quality, it’s so clean, friendly helpful staff, and quick service. Literally so mad I never knew about this place sooner. Seriously if you haven’t been here yet you need to.

So clean and nice service during COVID and the best poke bowls!

Diner Review №158

Love this place. Great food and friendly.

Diner Review №159

Diner Review №160

Oh my god. $10 gets you a custom bowl of absolute perfection. The veggies are crisp and perfectly seasoned. The sizeable shrimp was cooked the way it should, meaty, without being gummy or shriveled like most chinese take out. Lets talk about how 1 bowl can feed about 3 people!

So grateful a friend told me about this place. I dont think I am ordering Chinese anywhere else going forward.

Im looking forward to trying their thai dishes and some sushi next time. Yum!

Diner Review №161

This place is amazing. A good variety of things. You can tell they care about their food. Chicken is tender and juicy. The noodles are cooked perfectly. They give such good portions too! Prices are very affordable. I never even write reviews but this place is so good. You cannot find many places like this in the area.

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

Huge portions and so tasty!!! We stopped here for a Poke bowl and wound up getting the Pad Thai! Super flavorful and FULL of shrimp and veggies! Made perfectly!

Diner Review №164

Diner Review №165

The food is always great and customer service is excellent! One of my favorite places to eat.

Diner Review №166

Best Lo Mein around

Diner Review №167

An absolute gem. Fresh & delicious food, at fair prices. Very friendly and very clean.

Diner Review №168

Delicious, delicious, delicious...I love the idea of the dry pot, being able to customize it as you wish... Probably could've gone with a higher spicy rating but I got nervous haha.

Will definitely stop by again if I'm in the area!

Diner Review №169

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №171

Amazing food! Love the Thai curry and bourbon chicken!!! At least 2twice a month I go here!!!

Diner Review №172

Had fried wings which were good. Also had pan fried dumplings which were horrible. They tasted like steamed dumplings that were fried afterwards. Horrible. Called to tell them about my experience and the young man who has always been polite shocked me when he hung up on me. Needless to say I will not be returning.

Diner Review №173

First off they have the best pan fried dumplings. Sushi bowls/burritos are amazing. They do a great byo dry pot. The Thai salmons are my favorite dishes. Chinese, Japanese, and Thai foods!

We've found it best to order between 8-9 for take out. Eat in is usually pretty on point.

Diner Review №174

Place is great regular Chinese food. Service is great. I wish the fried rice had more flavor

Diner Review №175

Diner Review №176

My favorite restuarant in the area! The food is always spot on and delicious 😋

Diner Review №177

They have the best sushi poke bowl

Diner Review №178

First time here and the general t'sos chicken was delicious! Rice and chicken was nice and fresh and hot!! Customer service was great as well! Lastly, this chinese restaurant does not look like your average one, its decor is nice and place is clean!!!!

It was really good. Food isnt greasy or heavy like other places ive tried.

Diner Review №194

Diner Review №195

I have gotten pretty much everything off this menu and come here multiple times. The food is delicious without fail with tons of options and the staff (it is family owned) is always very sweet. The people complaining on these reviews were probably trying to be jerks and get free food. The food on their menu is worth every penny and I will keep coming here as long as they’re open. 10/10 every time.
