What a nice Chinese restaurant. Great vibes, small and cozy. Great for lunch time , dinner, family vibes and dates. You can carry out if you choose to not dine in (it is kinda small inside). Although I gave it 4 stars it's truly 4.5 stars (very close to getting 5 stars) what was a miss for me was my shrimp and broccoli was over cooked (almost mushy) and my shrimp was cooked with the tails in which made it very messy for me to eat. However, The chicken wings are some of the BEST wings I've ever had!! A Must get! The customer service was nice and the price is fair. read more

I love that I am coming back to update this review but honestly, nothing has changed!!! The menu prices are still affordable, portions are huge, service is amazing and the quality is still on point!! I truly to love this place and eating out every day wasn't so bad, I would definitely make this a regular spot! If you get a chance to visit here, you will also notice how much it is loved by the locals. I kid you not, a new customer walked in every 5 minutes either to place an order, dine-in or to carry out! Please share some love with this local business while enjoying some DELICIOUS EATS! read more

Hit or miss never consistent. Sometimes it's amazing and sometimes it's not good. Definite not my go too

Ordered delivery through the yelp app and it came exactly when it said it would!! The shrimp fried rice was good as was the chicken lo mein, but the lo mein was darker than i usually see. The general tso's chicken must've had ketchup in the base somewhere because that was coming through very strongly and wasn't great. Will definitely be trying other local chinese places to find a better general tso's. read more

I don't know what happen to the food there but it has definitely taken a turn for the worse. The shrimp fried rice is awful. The quality of the shrimp is poor & the flavor of the rice. read more

Amazing food and customer service. Very friendly atmosphere and great time for a birthday over the weekend. Been going here for decades, thank you. read more

Let me start by telling you, three people ate lunch and took home food for $48. I thought my mom was going to fall out of her chair when the bill came. We normally spend twice that amount. Our first lunch with my mom in the New Year was a great one. I've been going to Little China for ages. My grandparents and I used to go there all the time, and my grandfather passed a while ago. Their wonton soup used to be his favorite, and it's still exactly the same. And it is the best wonton you will ever taste. The dumplings are huge, and filled. The sprinkling of fresh scallions and the shreds of additional pork to the broth puts an already incredible soup over the top. My boyfriend had the egg drop soup - since soup comes with your meal - and it was glorious. I can't tell you which I liked better. The egg drop is so thick. It coats your whole mouth in deliciousness. You don't really need to order a beverage at Little China, as you get a pot of tea, and water with your crunchy fried wonton nibblers, as soon as you are seated. We also had shrimp toast. I have tried shrimp toast in... probably like 30 different Chinese spots and none of them compare to the Shrimp Toast at Little China. It's crispy without being greasy. I was so happy to finally introduce it to my boyfriend, as I have been singing its praises to him for years - every time we would order from a different restaurant, I'd be like, "Not as good as Little China." I don't know why it took me so long to take him there. We drive past it all the time. As an entree, my boyfriend got Szechuan Chicken (Chicken w.Vegs, Stir-Fried In Hot Sauce), with an egg roll (typical, unremarkable) and pork fried rice. The fun thing about Little China is that you don't get white rice with your meal. You get this soy-forward, incredible pork rice with everything. It came with all our meals. My mom ordered Singapore Noodles (Rice Noodle, Shrimp, Chicken, Roast Pork spiced with dry curry, with veg). Again, I may have had a bit of entree envy. I had a taste and it hit all the right notes. I ordered General Tso's Chicken, and I must admit, while it was clear the they used their own chicken breast and deep fried it (unlike a lot of take away places that all seem to use that stringy pre-breaded, packaged chicken nuggets) themselves, it wasn't my favorite. I asked for it spicy, but it wasn't. What happened to Chinese restaurants putting those bird chilis in your General Tso's and other spicy dishes? I feel like I haven't seen them in years and I miss them. It was fine, but I wish I had ordered something else. I WILL order something else, upon my return because at that price, why not try everything? The obligatory fortune cookies closed our meal. Apparently I am going to make a new friend. Don't threaten me, fortune cookie!! Heee. Absolutely recommend. read more

The food is not that good, the chicken wings was good but the Chinese food small portions and not tasty

If you want a great sit down Chinese joint, this is it! It's been a staple in Essex for a reason. Quality food and friendly staff!

Food is amazing!! Very hot and fresh when it got to your table. The service was a bit slow, however there was only one waitress, in her defense. It was a very quiet, low keyed atmosphere. You should definitely try! read more

Love this place! This small restaurant has plenty to offer at a reasonable prices. The staff is efficient in all aspects and accommodates it's customers, making sure all is ok with their meals. They start everyone with a pot of hot tea and a glass of ice water. I always ask for a refill of the tea. To the food: lunch works well for us, but arrive before 3pm that's when they switch to dinner. The Wonton soup is delightful with piping hot broth, 2 wontons, and topped with thinly sliced green onions and thinly sliced strips of pork. Of course you have the fried wonton crisps with it. For the entrees, my husband does not hesitate to order his favorite, Shrimp lomein. It is a huge portion, sometimes some of it makes it home. I usually order something on the lighter side like a chicken dish with vegetables in a white sauce. This visit I asked for no broccoli and more snow peas, they did a fantastic job on that switch out. Both lunch dishes come with either fried rice or white rice. Another option is on the back page where you can order the Pu pu Tray, it comes with shrimp toast, marinated whole chicken wings, beef strips with sauce, and Chinese BBQ ribs-my favorite. Add a flame pot in the center. Then select from the categories you prefer. Reasonable prices and generous servings, easy to find location. read more

Little China still remains one of the best American Chinese Food options in the area. The combination plates which include soup, a spare rib or egg roll, main entree, pork fried rice and dessert remains one of best deals in town ($12-15). Everything is always served hot, punctually and with a smile. Nostalgia always hits hard when dining in, as the decor is from an 80s Chinese food restaurant (think red paper lanterns). Definitely worth the trip! read more

I went to Little China last Friday afternoon. I drove from Bel Air, as I've been there before and have had really good experiences there. I've told friends about the place and have recommended them to everyone I know. However, this time was different. The soup was great, the bbq port appetizer was more fat than meat. Over half the order was fat, just awful. And when I got my entree, the eggroll was very brown, and greasy, like it had been refried. I found a hair in my fried rice. And the overall taste of the shrimp & lobster sauce was very bland. I hardly ate any of the entree. When she offered me a box, I declined, and told her about the hair in my food. She asked if I wanted desert. Nope, I said. I paid my bill and left. I may go back someday., but not too soon.... read more

Our standard for Chinese food. Can't get enough of it; we eat there at least once per month. Combination dinners include soup, an entree, an egg roll or rib, a pot of tea and dessert when you eat in. All at a very reasonable price and with friendly service. Typical Chinese decor. read more

Best Chinese Food in Maryland!! I personally love Chinese food and Little China is very solid! It's a go to for me with good food and good service. Give it a try, they never disappoint me. read more

Have been living in Hawthorne for 12 years and been patronizing Little China that long. Food quality has been getting worse over the years. Just picked up my last order there. Called in for pickup and was told 30 mins. Was there in 25 and 5 mins to home. General tsao chicken was so hard I chipped a tooth. All the food was cold. Last penny they will ever get from me. $30.00 out the window. Save your money and eat somewhere else. RG read more

Good food like it a lot, very good will recommend it anytime good food as always nice food

I never like to have to leave a bad review....and this place was highly recommended by many of our friends, but this is by far the worst Chinese food we've ever had! We tried it about a year ago and weren't impressed and thought maybe it was just a bad night..nope! .... It got WORSE! The food lacked any flavor or spice! We got fried dumpling (mushy), Gen Tso (meh), Sesame chicken (flavorless), and Szechuan beef (yuck). It was so bad that we threw most of it out. We aren't willing to give them a 3rd strike before they're out...THEY'RE OUT!!! read more

After 31 years, never again. They mixed up the order and I get cussed at FUC__NG when I called about it. A man I Just asked for credit the next time. NEVER AGAIN!! read more

Service is nice, staff is nice. Food is typical American Chinese take out food. Does the job.

The absolute worst food. Don't waste your money. The egg rolls were small and overcooked and gross. Wonton soup noodles overcooked and the pork that was in the soup tasted like it was expired. I'll never eat there again. I took a few bites and threw it out. Such a waste. read more

Decent for the area. Pick up only sucks but it is what it is if you want decent Chinese in Essex.

Their food doesn't taste as good as China Kitchen's does and I order the same thing every time. The sauce on the ribs and the garlic sauce on the chicken and rice didn't taste as good. read more

Food is usually good but our recent order was terrible! We ordered extra water chestnuts in the lo mein and received very little. The crab wontons were inedible, I can't believe they sent this home with someone! Extremely disappointed. read more

This Chinese restaurant is a nice gem for those lucky enough to give them a try whether you're local or passing through. Tonight I ordered the General Tso chicken with fried rice and they definitely didn't disappoint. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and portion was enough for 2 meals (I ordered the small size). I tried to order the fried rice with out onions however was told they make it in large batches at this time in order to keep up with the demand for takeout orders. That would be my only complaint-however given the current situation I can certainly overlook this & it doesn't change my 5/5 review for the restaurant. We called in our order for 5 different meals and they were ready within 30 minutes and everyone loved their meals. My son who doesn't eat Chinese food actually ate part of our meals and said he liked it! That's great since he's a picky eater too but is now looking forward too going back again soon. I give this restaurant a 5/5 for food, 5/5 for friendly staff, 5/5 for reasonable prices and large portion size, 5:5 for cleanliness. Overall a 5/5. read more

On time for carry out and easy online ordering were a plus. Sadly disappointing food. Fried wontons were nice and crispy but almost devoid of any pork inside. Similar issue with the few wontons in the wonton soup. Garlic chicken lacked flavor and not spicy Was hoping for better read more

I've been going here since I was a kid. Twenty years later, their food is still a hit. Love the crispy noodles you get when you dine in, and I ALWAYS get their orange chicken. So tasty! Egg rolls and pork fried rice are great side dishes. Other great dishes: sesame chicken, steak and broccoli, shrimp lo mein. Love, love, love them. Xiexie Jake n Kevin:) read more

Little China has been serving Essex/Middle River since I was a kid. That's more than 40 years. A restaurant doesn't stay in business that long if they aren't good. They have the best Chinese food in the area. I try to make it a regular dinner spot at least several times a year. The my are always friendly and the food is always fantastic. I highly recommend. read more

Excellent Szechuan chicken. Good mix of chicken and veggies. Ready on time for pickup. Would definitely order again.

Very good food, friendly service. We had combo plates, they came with a lot of food. Enjoyed it very much. Not overly greasy, nicely seasoned. read more

There is a reason this restaurant has been around for a very long time... It's the BEST Chinese food in Essex/Middle River!

The best Chinese food around, service was great, atmosphere was pleasant, we will always come here,

I ordered take from this establishment and the service personnel was friendly and competent. The food was amazing. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was inviting. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoy hot delicious Chinese food. read more

Pretty good Chinese food. Steak and shrimp teriyaki were both flavorful, though the steak cuts were tough and I found some gristle.

Love this place! Family owned business serving delicious, great priced, fresh cooked Chinese food for several decades. Nothing has changed about their great food, dining experience or customer service - if it ain't broke, don't fix it! We make it a family experience to come here and do dinner nights with the dinner specials to get the entire meal from soup, to pupu tray, to entrees with tea and dessert. If you haven't been here or want some place to bring guests for a good time, don't miss this place! read more

Definitely one of the best shrimp fried rice I've ever tasted. Don't ask for extra shrimp though because you will pay for them and get home and get disappointed. Not worth the 20 mins back to complain but when you are paying almost forty bucks for a carry out you should get what you pay for . read more
