    three delicacy vegetable combination plate (comes with the roll & soup) - broccoli, green beans, & eggplant
    Kelsey F.

    Nothing special, but it hits the spot! You can order all of your favorite Chinese dishes right here in Honesdale. Tip: The dining area is outdated decor-wise, but don't overlook it - it's a great quiet place to sit and talk over a meal. There is low, soft music and adequate lighting. It's also BYOB so you can choose your drink of choice! (There's a wine store at the hotel right over the bridge.) They serve you wonton strips and hot tea when you arrive; most entrees come with soup and an egg roll; and you get a fortune cookie at the end. And it is so inexpensive even after adding a hefty tip! Is it fancy? No. Different? No. Consistent & reliable? Absolutely.

    Sign out front.

    We were staying with my cousin Terry who lives just outside of downtown Honesdale. They wanted to go out to dinner and they decided on this spot. They are friends with the owners and it is their go to Chinese food spot in town. They start you out with water and tea as well as a couple of bowls of fried wonton strips and a sweet and sour dipping sauce. I decided to go with a combination plate which included sweet and sour pork and chicken, an egg roll, fried rice and hot and sour soup. My portion of it was $10.95 and it was a decent amount of food for the price. The sweet and sour chicken was breaded nicely and tasted great. The fried rice had minimal peas in it and was a bit dry like I like it. The egg roll was really good too. The wrapper was more thick and bready than I am used to, but the egg rolls filling and texture was great! Hot and sour soup was tasty too. Almost everyone else at the table got some kind of duck dish. Total for 8 of us was just over $115.00. Not bad..not bad at all! I would definitely come back if I lived in the area. It was pretty solid Chinese food for small town America!

    This is a clean pleasant restaurant with good service and excellent food. There is not a lot of choices for Chinese in this area, but this restaurant would be good for anywhere. There is the typical selection plus other specialties. There is a lunch special which is a very good deal. Whether eat in or take out, service is quick and pleasant.

    There must have been a change in ownership. The food is as it was prior to 2015. Takeout service is always best for us and easy.

    Called for reservation but probably wasn't needed (July 3rd and weather issues in the area) Great…read moreservice. Greeted promptly when we arrived. Restaurant maybe 1/2 full. Couldn't decide so we ordered a few apps (KFC chicken, edamame and scallion pancake) all of which were delicious. Decided to get bao buns and fried rice. Note: ordered chicken and shrimp but should have specified we wanted one dish with both meats - instead we got 2 bowls - which just means more for lunch tomorrow! Staff stayed calm when the lights flickered a few times and just said "hopefully the chefs are almost done with your meals because we don't have a generator"). Had to dodge a few broken trees on 94 on the way home but all in all a great meal! Also it's BYOB but really didn't miss the wine - Yuzu ade was refreshing on this 90+ degree day.

    Blue Spice has been on my to-do list for literally years, and Monday was finally the day. I stopped…read moreby for lunch with my top-tier chum, a native of the Kingdom of Sussex who has been here before and has spoken highly of it. I don't know why I was surprised to discover this was in a strip mall, but that's on me. A nice one, at least. The place was relatively busy but we were able to secure a table easily with zero wait time. Pleasant vibes inside. I don't mean this as an insult at all but I was expecting more ethnic decor in line with the restaurant's menu - instead, it's pretty Americanized and feels like a classic suburban NJ establishment. I liked the painted brick on the lefthand side that has Blue Spice's logo/sign on it; spiffy. The bathroom was also a high point, which is...not something I say often. It was very clean and smelled nice, and I liked the dark cruise-ship lighting vibe. We decided to split the scallion pancake app, which was an excellent decision. I work in the city and regularly have this item from a place in Chinatown, and I honestly thought this was better, mostly because it was thicker/denser than what I'm used to. Super tasty and would get that again in a heartbeat. Giant portion as well - we split the pancake, which was roughly the size of a small pizza. My chum had leftovers there, I did not; so it goes with us. I've had a few mediocre chicken katsu experiences of late, so this seemed like a chance for redemption. I ordered the Akiko Curry entree, which was their spin on chicken katsu curry. Honestly wasn't my favorite. Again, a HUGE portion here and was only able to finish about 60% of it despite having a pretty legit appetite coming in. And the presentation value is excellent as well, as far as that goes. This could easily just be a personal palate preference, but I wasn't crazy about the curry itself (which had a weird tang to it) and didn't resemble the standard curry I'm used to with this dish. Also, as you can see from the attached, the curry is basically on the side of the dish, separated from the chicken and rice. Because of that, the chicken is on the dry side, which is my primary beef (pun?) with the item to begin with. So a miss for me, but I could see why other people would like this (and apparently do). The service was excellent, full stop. Our waitress was very nice and personable; she had strong command of the menu and you could see her consistently engaging with other patrons throughout our meal as well. She took several group photos so this is apparently a Kingdom of Sussex hot spot for that, which I wouldn't have guessed. She was so good both of us remarked on it multiple times during the meal, which is a rarity. But a great example of hospitality markedly improving an experience and making what was already an overall positive situation that much better. Huge marks there. Would definitely come back but would explore other parts of the menu once I feasted on the scallion pancake.

    After going to this restaurant for over a year, I've decided to write this review. A week ago I…read morecame in for my order but, the shop owner had been on the phone with a disgruntled customer. As I'm standing there listening, I heard the owner say that he would give the customer the entire order for free due to an order not being what the custom asked for. The customer was not satisfied and was belligerent over the phone. I, the customer could hear that. Shame on the man who was on the other side of the line. I talked to the owner after and finally learned and understood how much this man puts love and dedication into his restaurant. I won't go in to specifics, but he truly cares for his customers. I'll make an example. I was running late to order tonight, so I chose my old Chinese spot. Got the Lobster Lo Mein, terrible compared to YO PO II!!! I was completely dissatisfied with both the Lo Mein and Spring Rolls. Store bought noodles sticking together and the egg rolls were the same from the local grocery store. Yo Po II's Lobster Lo Mein was perfection and the spring rolls were, BON APETIT!! Perfection! So is the General Tao's, much love goes into the food. I'll always be a dedicated customer to this establishment. Thank you to the owner for his hard work and his passion for customer satisfaction. We all appreciate you sir!

    It's so convenient to have a quality Chinese restaraunt locally. Great service and excellent food…read more Whats not to love!
