Eastern Delight: Reviews & Ratings
Made a call to order an was expecting just some general Chinese like from most restaurants. I was gladly surprised when I got out to my vehicle an too where I was going to eat. I open the bag and to start my box was held closed with a rubber band. I had only ordered a regular dinner meal of verb l general Sao chicken an replaced the chicken wings with an egg roll. These egg rolls are the largest juiciest ones I've ever hat the chance to enjoy! There was enough there for me to have for dinner later that evening. Will definitely be returning!
This was my first visit to Eastern Delight. I was feeling a little under the weather and decided to try some of their " Hot and SOUR SOUP" It was delicious! Packed full of mushrooms and spices that give it some heat, which is not too hot, and just enough to offset the vingery taste that enhances the taste of the soup. It helped with my illness by clearing out my airways, which is why I chose the soup in the first place. The size of the portion can be seen in the photos that I provided. The chicken wings were giant! Packed full of tender meat. Crispy, not greasy, like what I have experienced in other establishments. Please look at the photos that I have provided and see for yourself. Eastern Delight just earned my return business. Food is tasty and hot Thank you! For reading.
Great delicious fresh food as usual. I have not been here a while. Portions now are not as huge as it used to be but understand it needs to change because of rising food costs everywhere. Food is fresh and hot and service was fast.
These folks are always so nice and fast! The food is always a good quality too. Thanks for making my daughter's NYE dinner perfect!
The waiting area could use some love, but the FOOD WAS GREAT. Everything we ordered we enjoyed immensly, and there was plenty of it. The staff was freindly and quick!

THE FOOD IS SOOOOOOO DELICIOUS AND FRESH! EASTERN DELIGHT IS OUR NUMBER ONE GO TO FOR TAKE OUT, AND THEY ARE CHEAP!! The reason I'm writing this review, is because a friend of ours told us there's a "for sale" sign out front...idk what the plan is but I PRAY THIS IS NOT THE END OF EASTERN DELIGHT! DON'T GO AWAY! YOUR FOOD IS IS INCREDIBLE!!! ID ORDER IT EVERY OTHER DAY IF I DIDN'T GAIN A TIN IF WEIGHT FROM IT (BTW I SAY EVERY OTHER DAY, BECAUSE THE PORTIONS ON THE PUPU FOR 2 ARE SO HEARTY, I USUALLY HAVE ENOUGH LEFT OVERS FOR A 2ND MEAL, MY HUSBAND ON THE OTHER HAND USUALLY ONLY HAS A GOOD SNACK FOR THE NEXT DAY! LOVE YOU GUYS! LOL
This is by far the best Chinese food I have ever had. Food is always hot and fresh. We've been going here for years and the food hasn't changed one bit. Owners and staff are super friendly. We always get the PuPu platter and no one even comes close. Highly recommend.
Little family owned place on the edges of town. The food was amazing and the staff was extremely friendly and courteous. The crab Rangoon brought me back to the good Ole days of Chinese takeout. The teriyaki steak was...crispy...which was weird.
