The food qw ordered last night was fresh, hot and tasty. But what I really wanted to write about is their homemade duck sauce & hot mustard. The best ive ever had. That mustard has a kick like ive never experienced and I highly recommend.. also their crunchy noodles are GOOD, their the fat ones fried perfectly. Try this place, the best you'll get in DelCo read more

Terrific Moo Shu Pork, Hot and Sour Soup and Shrimp Pad Thai. We come here often and our most recent order was really good. Friendly service as always and food is ready by the time I get there. Would recommend Da Chen if you're in the area. Or even if you're not. read more

Ordered from this restaurant because it was recommended. Turned out to be too little food for too much money. The portions and content were WAY off what I ordered. A large Egg Foo Young was two patties. Most restaurants do not have small or large, it is just THREE patties with sauce. Not here! Two patties served in a carton is a large. No sauce on the side, either. A pricey order of boneless spareribs came in a small (dumpling-size) container and was on top of a bed of broccoli (not in the description) instead of the meat I paid for. Ordered two specials with fried rice, and tried to have allergens removed. Was told fried rice for specials was made in advance so changes to content for allergies was not possible. Got white rice instead and wonder if customers know fried rice is made in bulk instead of fresh to order. Would not order from here again because the food is overpriced for the amount that they deliver. I've never seen portions so small for common dishes or so much unwanted filler added. For the same money spent at any other restaurant we'd have another serving of Egg Foo Young and four more servings of spareribs. NEVER AGAIN. read more

The best Chinese food in Delco seriously. Everytime i order my food is ready in 20 mins (general Tso's chicken and egg rolls). Large portions and they're always so nice and quick with me. read more

I am giving the restaurant 5 stars for the food & delivery 0 stars. Whomever they used for delivery, delivered my food to my next door neighbor. Luckily my husband was waiting by the window & ran out to ask if it was Da Chen. Driver said yes & told US to get it ourselves. REALLY? I tipped $15. I wish I did not tip on the app. He would have gotten $0 from me. My husband yelled at the driver & made him get our food back from the neighbors. I will not be lazy & I will pick up my food next time. But anyways.. I remembered to take some pictures this time! Second time ordering from here. Food was still yummy like the first time I ordered. Hot & sour soup: Soup was filled with tofu, bamboo, mushroom, egg, chicken & pork strips. It was good! The vinegar smell did not over power the soup unlike other places I have tried. Four seasons: filled with so much meat! I would say the dish is comparable to a KUNG PAO dish. It was yummy! Twice cooked pork: pork was not dry even though it's cooked twice. Lots of cabbage with some mushrooms & bell peppers. Nice flavors. Had to order the house special fried rice again. Dad loves it. He took a whole quart for himself. LOL. read more

This place was meh! I may just be spoiled by the best Chinese place ever close to my house. Food was tasteless...chicken was fatty. Service was outstanding, waitress was very quick and friendly. read more

Once again another great meal. They never disappoint. This particular Friday night the place was unusually packed. Even though they only had two servers (one actually working phone and being the cashier) they did an amazing job! At times they we're running from one table to another. Great customer service. read more

Tasty! Fast delivery- courteous delivery person- easy menu to navigate - loved the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls - was a first for me and I Did not expect to enjoy them as much as I did- The shrimp pad Thai was also excellent. I was so hungry I forgot to take pics. Trust me it was yummy. read more

They remember my takeout order better than I do. Fast, friendly service, and the food is great. Steamed dumplings are a must read more

Awhile back I placed an order. The woman who answered YELLED at me because SHE didn't like what I was ordering! It was a pretty decent sized order too! I swore I'd NEVER order from them again-and I HAVE'NT! They're not the only game in town. They should be given a course on how to treat customers! A BIG "C-YA"! read more

Ordered pick up, 4 items. Food was really tasteless. Lo mein noodles were really thick and greasy. Ribs were pretty dry and fatty. Shrimp fried rice again quite bland. Lastly, the crab rang goons were not good at all. They tasted heavy in celery and I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth. The cherry sauce that they usually come with was unlike any I've ever seen. It looked and smelled like it was just red water. It's really crappy that there is not one Chinese restaurant in this area that is good. read more

5 star rating based on what this business is - a local, old time Chinese restaurant which has been in the area over 20 years serving locals and many of the people who work at Boeing who fill the place at lunchtime. The food is always great. The service is always great. You still get that free pot of tea. They make all of the Chinese restaurant staples. What I have noticed in the last few years is they have branched out with their specials, incorporating different ingredients and cooking styles while retaining the Asian flair. Their prices are great. Worth a stop in if you are in the area. read more

We've been going to da Chen for 30+ years. The food is always hot, fresh and if we are getting it delivered fast. We obviously love the way the food is prepared since we keep going back and have for that many years! They are always very friendly when taking an order. read more

I generally get the lunch special for takeout - it's very affordable and the food tastes good. The few times I've dine in, it's been a good experience. This is one of the few dine in Chinese restaurants in the area. The staff are also very nice. read more

They got our order so wrong lollll not worth the $$$$$$$$. My boyfriend ordered chow mein and got just vegetables (see below). We got extra plain rice that we didn't order. I asked if there were crackers and they said no but there were. The vegetables didn't taste fresh. The only good things (each deserving of a star) were the fried rice and fortune cookies. To be seen if they are accurate. Will report back if I get that call from my long lost uncle. read more

Da Chen Chinese Restaurant - Tea - Chinese Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

Over a year of living in DelCo and we are still on a mission to find some decent Chinese food. We tried Da Chen this past weekend and weren't as let down as we have been with the other joints we've tried. The fried pork dumplings were really good. They weren't too dough-y, or too greasy, and the pork inside tasted great. The sauce that came with them was perfect. The eggrolls were also realllllly good. They were filled with shrimp and other delectable treats. I hate when eggrolls are nothing but fried up veggies, and these did not disappoint. I ended up getting the Kung Pao chicken, which was only OK. There were way, way, way, way, WAY too many peanuts in this dish. Plus, I really didn't need the random celery that was in the dish. I had to pick a lot of shit out before I could eat it. Once I did, though, it tasted fine. Mildly spicy, good chicken. My husband enjoyed his chicken and broccoli and said that the broccoli was lightly steamed and still retained a lot of crunch (he loved that, I would have hated it!). The bill came to $26.00, and for two entrees, two containers of rice, eggrolls, and the dumplings. I think that's pretty darn good for the amount of food we got. I think we'll give this place another chance. Now that I've had my go-to Chinese take-out staples I think I'll try something a little more adventurous. read more

I was a little apprehensive when we walked into this place tonight, as there were no other customers inside. The first thing I noticed was the cute decoration. The place was very clean as well. My Philly tour guide and my two associates decided on Chinese during our ride back from Atlantic City... and it turns out we made a pretty good choice. We placed orders for 4 entrees, which we passed around family style. The sweet and sour chicken was tasty, the spicy orange been was delicious, the twice cooked pork had a great consistency, and the chicken pad thai was tasty, with a hint of licorice (which was a little strange but still good) The service was impeccable, and the food came up fairly fast. I've had better Chinese, but this was well worth the 3 stars, and I'd come back again. BYOB welcome. read more

So about two years ago, I came here for the first time. My first visit, I thought it was wonderful. I raved about the Sesame Chicken. I became a fan. I've had more than enough meals here now. And I've had more than enough meals from other Chinese places locally since then. So now I have some more perspective on how good this place is. As I look at it now, three stars is about right. I've generally had decent meals here. The wonton soup and egg rolls are as good as any. My wife enjoys their Kung Pao Chicken. I like their Orange Chicken which has good orange peel flavor in it but not much spice. But, every now and then they make something that is just OK. I remember ordering the Rainbow Chicken thinking it was going to be a taste feast, and it would up being just half decent. I'll go there again. I consider them better than many of the local take out places. I have to think that a lot of locals are probably inconvenienced by the fact that they don't deliver. They're pretty good, if not totally memorable. read more

this is an excellent Chinese restaurant it has very good food. we had not been here in 20 years but the food was better than before and the prices were lower or about the same. The atmosphere is relaxing the tea is soothing there is a lunch special only 6 1/2 dollars for a sizeable entrée Rice and your choice of soup. The hot and sour was spicy hot fresh and delicious. parking is free and the restaurant is located right off of the intersection of Route 420 and route 95 and is convenient both to locals those in Philadelphia and to tourists looking for a place to eat on their way to visit the Liberty Bell. Da Chen is a winner Moo Goo Gai Pan dinner! read more

Recommend by the hotel I was staying at. Was not disappointed! Wonderful family operated restaurant with all the wonderful food we could ask for. Highly recommended if near the Philadelphia airport read more

I can never say enough good things about Da Chen. The food is amazing. Always fresh, orders are always right and ready in the time they say it will be ready. My daughter is lucky and they always go out of their way to make sure her order is exactly as she asked. Can't recommend enough!! read more

I (sadly) agree with some of the other reviews in that this place USED TO BE the BEST.. But over the last year or so, it's gone down hill. No matter what you say when you order, your orange chicken or general Tso's chicken will be soggy. I have to throw it in the air fryer to make it how it should be. I've tried a few other dishes there and they are just "meh" ... Guess i'll start trying all the other local Chinese spots and see what i find. read more

This place surpasses all of above listed...it was pass noon hour and the parking lot full with. Contented guest inside....

This is my husband's absolute favorite Chinese place, EVER. Neither of us eat meat, but he makes an exception for their Kung Pao Chicken, which is the best he's ever had. I usually get the shrimp lo mein or one of the bean curd dishes, and it's definitely good food. Not authentic Chinese that you'd have in China, probably, but a good value for the money. The restaurant is neat and clean, and the service is attentive and very fast. This is a good place to bring your family for a nice night out. read more

This place is Awesome!!! Found out about Da Chen when I worked at Taylor Hospital . The food is great, staff is accommodating . Once a year my daughter and I do Cemetery Day. This is our go to place after the day is done. I usually get Shrimp and Lobster sauce which is very good. Don't miss the Cheesesteak egg rolls. Prices are very reasonable. The place is clean. Never crowded. read more

Good food, prices cheaper then most locally. I prefer their shrimp pad thai extra spicy, and trust me you get a lot compared to most place around here that give you 2-3 shrimp and a handful of noodles, this place packs the dish with lots of shrimp. I'm always please walking out of here. read more

Da Chen Chinese Restaurant - Pad Thai I requested with no nuts and no peppers. This is a huge filling plate of food. This is a steal for just under $10 - Chinese Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

Best spot for Chinese food, hands down! Been a local staple for years. Never disappoints. Staff is friendly and great at what they do. Awesome lunch specials. No bar so it's BYOB. You know a Chinese place is good when they don't deliver. Worth the drive to pickup. read more

An average Chinese food store with a dining room.

It pains me to say that I can only base my review on one dish that I used to always get from this place. The sesame shrimp used to be my favorite dish here. The shrimp had a sesame flavored crunch to it. It comes with broccoli and I always opt for the brown rice. I say that the dish used to be my favorite because the last time I ordered it, it was far from great. The shrimp was incredibly soggy and the sesame seeds were almost nonexistent. This was about a month ago. I haven't been there since. If they would've maintained consistency, I would've given them four stars. Maybe I'll be brave enough to give them another shot and provide an updated review. read more

Food is excellent for take out Chinese. DO NO USE the BRING ME COS app to order DaCHEN food !!! The BRING ME COS app charges you 4.99 to place a phone call with your order. CALL DA Chen yourself with your order. Do not use the rip off BRING ME COS app. read more

Excellent, old school Chinese food. I love the interior, it reminds me of Chinese places of my youth. Very well priced with nice dinners. I wish they gave you more food, but that's about the only negative. Owned and operated by a family. I like that everyone does their part read more

Alright service with mediocre food. Must Haves: -N/A Pros: -Ok service and a lot of seating Cons: -Food is substandard Quick Tips: -Don't come I came for a group luncheon. The server was polite and fast. However, the sauces were, in my opinion overly starchy. Also, some of my vegetables were a bit old. The food is forgettable. Mediocre service and food makes this place forgettable. read more

I love Chinese food, even the Americanized versions. Overall, I was very unimpressed. The food was bland and boring. To be on the safe side I ordered the chicken broccoli. The sauce was watery and the taste was dull and uninspiring. To try something more traditional I got the Mapo tofu. I usually get this to gauge how good the restaurant is at cooking a traditional food item. Bad choice!!! It seemed to be plain tofu with bottle chili sauce heated together. Now when something so common and Americanized like chicken broccoli tastes bad, and something so traditionally Chinese tastes bad, there literally is nothing going for them. I suspect the chef must actually be just a cook, no skills, no training, and uninspired. This place caters to the unsuspecting ignorant American. I gave them 2 stars because they're quick (probably because they weren't very busy). read more

As a kid, we ate here all the time. The food was always good and the ambiance was nice. In recent years, the food is mediocre at best and the place smells of mildew. The last time I was here, I got very sick afterwards. I'm not sure if it was the food, heat or just general pregnancy issues but I was feeling fine earlier in the day. I hope they clean up their act and get back to what they used to be. I'd really love to write a positive review for them! read more

The restaurant is not in an intimidating area, as opposed to some of the others nearby. Our waitress was quick to greet and seat us. The prices were very reasonable and affordable for most average working class folks. We ordered and received our food within 15 minutes of being seated, which is a huge plus when you're on lunch break. I ordered Sesame Chicken, which could have been a bit crunchier but still was good. Don't miss out on this place; it's worth the trip! read more

Da Chen used to be my go-to place for Chinese for years, but it went off several years ago and I haven't found anything better than just passable locally ever since. I decided to give it another try since it had been long enough to changeover much of their staff (I'm talking at least 8 years here). I went for a lunch special plus Chinese pizza to go. I grabbed a menu on my way out hoping to come back. I was more disappointed than before. Chinese pizza (a personal favorite) was under cooked and doughy. The sauce was watered down, no chives or minced ginger. The hot and sour soup was also watery and had some aftertaste to it, like it was fishy. I only had a couple spoonfuls. Pork fried rice was barely passable with overcooked rice and dry pork. I didn't finish that either. At that point, I didn't even have the courage to open the chicken and broccoli and went straight in the trash. To cap it off, I was charged $10 (no bill/ticket), Thinking the prices had to have changed over time I checked the menu after I got home and $4.95 + 2.25 = $7.20 not $10. I feel more than a little cheated and needless to say, it'll be at least another 8 years before I'd even consider going back to Da Chen. Finding GOOD Chinese food in Delco is a real challenge for me. read more
