What are these 5 star ratings?? Has anyone in the area ever eaten good Chinese food? Or you just…read moredon't know any better? The most American thing on the menu is the fried chicken wings and it's AWFUL! The sauce for the shrimp and vegetables is bland. The shrimp is over cooked and the steamed white rice is so dry, we're talking BASIC food and I'm Asian, it was so dry it's like day old rice it should be thrown out. Why did these 5 Star false reviews lead me to this place. SMH. 1 extra star for the nice staff.

This place is a gem, when we came in we looked around and saw a comfortable atmosphere it was really fancy looking inside and it was perfect for a lunch with my mom. This place would be great to take a date or go with friends. The food quality was absolutely amazing, this is the best Chinese food I've ever tasted with unique flavors I have never tasted before. The staff was so friendly and we tried their rare teas they were delicious and as a tea lover I enjoyed talking and learning about the tea and its history and origin. We had orange chicken which was so flavorful the flavors were perfect and the quality of the chicken was absolutely amazing. We tried the honey walnut chicken as well and it had a smooth semi-sweet sauce it was another perfect dish. All in all I will definitely be back and others need to know about this spot. It's one of the greatest Chinese spots I've ever been to. Please do yourself a favor and come try out the variety of flavors and ambience this cozy place has to offer you won't regret it.

Adding the General Tso's sauce, a honey-spiced blend, gives it a nice kick, though I expected a touch more heat. The General Tso's chicken itself is crispy with juicy pieces, and the flaky, veggie-packed spring rolls are a solid addition. The chicken wings, while flavorful, were served with sauce on the side rather than tossed, which is a personal preference of mine. The sweet and tangy sauce is good, but I think it would have been even better coating the wings directly. Inside, the calm ambiance and soft background music create a relaxing vibe. The complimentary tea at pickup and the friendly staff add a welcoming touch to the experience.

This place stays busy, and after trying the food, it's easy to understand why. The restaurant primarily focuses on takeout, which seems to be the main reason for the constant flow of people picking up orders. However, if you prefer to dine in, there are a few tables and chairs available inside. We decided to stay and eat because we had somewhere to be afterward and wanted to enjoy our meal before heading out. The restaurant itself is small, but the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly prepared Chinese food coming straight from the kitchen. It immediately sets the tone for what's to come. We ordered a variety of dishes including Chicken Udon Noodle Soup, Fried Chicken Wings, Broccoli and Chicken, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Shrimp Lo Mein. Everything arrived fresh, piping hot, and packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the shrimp dishes were satisfying and well-seasoned, and the fried chicken wings were crispy and delicious. Every dish tasted like it was made to order, and the quality really stood out. It's clear that the kitchen takes pride in preparing food that keeps customers coming back. Overall, the meal was well worth the trip, and this is definitely a place we would revisit again in the near future. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I figured our experience would be positive since the restaurants are under the same ownership. Sonny is a great guy and every time I interact with him he is happy and up beat. No Sonny this time but our experience was still great. We ordered an egg roll, small pork fried rice, Mongolian beef, and an egg drop wonton soup (yes you read the last part correctly and it's great (upon request)). There isn't really any place to sit and eat in the restaurant so I'd consider them strictly take out (they also do not deliver). Inside the restaurant itself is small and very We were told 10 minutes for pick up by the time we ordered and it was ready in 10 minutes. The total came to slightly over $30 and was well worth it. Food was hot. It all tasted delicious. Portions were very generous. I had Mongolian beef leftovers for 2 consecutive days after eating that night and the pork fried rice was protruding out of the top of the container and the lid barely closed. The Mongolian beef was loaded with green onions (one of my favorites), the beef was tender, and it was spicy! The dish came with plenty of white rice which also lasted me through the next day. The pork fried rice was a beautiful golden-brown and flavorful. The wontons were tasty and perfectly cooked. I've actually never heard of combining egg drop and wonton soup but my girlfriend loves it and King Wong does it upon request. Our order came with 3 fortune cookies, a bag of fried noodles, and the sauces (duck, soy, hot mustard, hot sauce) were next to the counter to take yourself. There is plenty of parking as it's located in a strip mall with other businesses. Our experience was very good and my girlfriend orders from here often. We'll definitely be back again.

Both felt like a warm hug. The scallion pancake w beef was tasty but it was overwhelmed by too much hoisin sauce + the pancake was a little greasy. The black sesame mochi and veggie soup dumplings were criminal. We forgave the dessert and terrible veggie soup dumplings and returned for a second visit to try more items so the new items we tried were: - chicken udon noodles (stir fry) - cucumber salad Both were mediocre and not worth getting. Cucumber salad lacked flavor. Udon noodles were plain and flavor was minimal. I would return for the beef noodle soup, the broth was rich yet light. The beef was so tender it melted in your mouth. If you have a beef soup craving this will hit the spot. Service was quick and consistent.

Shanghai Express - Marlton, NJ If you're anywhere near Marlton and craving Chinese food, do yourself a favor and head to Shanghai Express. Ted, the owner, runs a gem of a spot that's become a regular go-to for me--whether I'm grabbing a solo lunch or dining with my family. Let's start with the Hot and Sour Soup, which is hands-down the best in the area. Most places make theirs too thick or overly vinegary, but Ted nails the balance: rich pork flavor, tender tofu, crisp vegetables, and just the right consistency to make every spoonful comforting and satisfying. It's not part of the lunch special, but I never skip ordering it à la carte. My sons love it so much they each get their own bowl--though I often end up helping them finish, which I don't mind one bit. Our staple dishes include Beef and Broccoli, General Tso's Chicken, and Sweet and Sour Chicken. Each one is consistently delicious: the beef is juicy and tender, and the chicken dishes are perfectly crispy without being greasy. Everything tastes best fresh, so we usually stop in for the lunch specials, but takeout holds up surprisingly well too. Ted is always welcoming--he treats you like a regular from your very first visit. It's that kind of hospitality, paired with reliably read more
