The place is very run down. It is in an old shopping center that needs a lot of work. I'd recommend not even giving this place a try. There are some okay Chinese places 5-1 miles around there. I am hoping they knock this whole complex down and build something else. read more

This place is bad... I made a mistake of ordering here. Sooooo salty and greasy. $6.30 Chicken wings was so disgusting. Dripping oil and so salty. Clearly chef does not know how to control the Deep fryer. I had a "Lunch Special" $7.45 pork egg foo young (super standard fast food Chinese order menu) I think this was the worst chines food I ever had. Salty fried rice and crazy no taste brown goo top of the egg foo young. I could not have second bite. If you want to live. Skip this restaurant. read more

Sorry to review this restaurant as a 1, but our New Years meal was awful. Sesame chicken was so hard you couldn't chew it, and had no chicken in it. Way over cooked. Egg rolls were the same way. Shrimp and veggies were soggy. Veggie fried rice was watery tasting and hardly any veggies in it. We used to order from this place all the time and had great meals in the past. Maybe it's under new owner? Very disappointed read more

Steamed dumplings are great! Chinese food is good but not great. Sushi is TRASH! Definitely not fresh and lacks flavor. Avocado wasn't even ripe. read more

They unfortunately changed ownership and everything is different now. Waited 45 minutes to get a smaller portion of what I used to get for the same price and at lower quality. This really is a shame they were the only good Chinese restaurant in the area. They didn't start making our food until we got there which made it take way longer. read more

Meh. It's convenient and that's the biggest plus. Check your take out order before you leave. They forgot my favorite part -- the crab Rangoon! It's ok food, but nothing to get excited about. read more

Fifteen miles from Reading, there is finally a substantial Chinese vegetarian menu, a whole page of vegan entrees. My sweet friend scoped this place out and sampled a variety of dishes for me before taking me, so cool. There is all the traditional stuff, and then veg duck, chicken, and ham, crafted from tofu or seitan. The seitan duck is particularly tender and good. We loved the scallion pancakes too. My friend special-requested curry sauce for her tofu dish, and it was really tasty; hope this gets onto the regular menu. A nice touch is the bottle of spicy sriracha rooster sauce on the table, yes please, since Zou's can be a bit shy on the spice. The great thing is that there is always something to come back and try. But I ask you, is there a demand for vegan food in Morgantown, and who is buying this food enough to keep it on the menu? I hope it stays. I don't *have* to have mock meats, but they are a nice treat. The building is on the end of an aging strip mall called the Clocktower, but the location atop a hill is nice, and you have a view of the area when you sit in the windows. Pretty chandelier. too. Prices are very affordable, and it is BYOB. Our bill was $52 for 3 appetizers and 4 entrees. Our recommendations would be to turn down the lights a bit at night and add a few candles and some music, and please, something other than news or sports on the tv if it must be on. They don't seem to focus on their dining room as much as their takeout. There wasn't a wine bucket for our white wine; we will bring one next time. In the middle of our meal, the owner's little boy came out festooned in a cute zebra hat and waved his large inflatable sword at us. I wish I had a picture. We considered it our entertainment. read more

This is not the best place I have been to for Chinese food but... if you're in the area I did have good meal here. I had sweet and sour chicken and fried rice and enjoyed it. I give it 5 star because of quality of food for this area. This is a family business with their kids there, kind of like you would find in another country. Could be a negative but I like knowing I'm helping a family and enjoying seeing everyone there. Not professional and I'm sure many would not like the atmosphere but I did. If you ever go outside USA this is what it is like kids on games and not happy to be working the family business but who is? Outside and inside is tired and I could list many negatives but I enjoyed my meal and for that I recommend this restaurant! Enjoy! read more

Very clean and comfortable dining area. Staff is friendly and helpful. Most of the food is delicious but I do have some reservations which I will not identify because it may be just a personal preference. read more

They did not score well on their sanitary test and they always mess up orders, a freind of ours once found an ALIVE COCKROACH in their to go bag. I will never be coming back. They tell you it will be ready in 15 minutes but when you get there you wait for 15 more minutes. read more

Routinely mess up orders if phoned in. If app used, they forget items still AND charge you to use app. Always check orders before leaving. Twice forgot shrimp fried rice and offered to make for price, pay again! Hard noodles stale and inedible. If you eat in, they leave tables unbussed around you until they need them. Kind of gross. Quality has degraded as new owners have taken over several times. Vegetarian options removed from menu. Always give free Crab Rangoon with order, even when you tell them not to give it. If and when you get your food, and the order is correct, their hot entrees are delicious. read more

I have been a customer of this restaurant for fifteen years. I've seen ownership changes, bad reviews from the Department of Ag, but decided now that I work close to this location and they offer plant based options I would give them another try. Do not bother. My first order (and only) order I placed online with a link they provided. 1. The price was a few $$$ higher than my confirmation from the online order. I question this and was told... nothing. Ok, no big deal. 2. Took the order home. One entree was completely wrong, the other two entrees were missing items. I called and was told to give my name and the manager would call me right back. 30 minutes later, no call so I called again. I received no apology from the manager, but was told I would get a credit next order I placed. 3. I personally went in today to place the exact same order they screwed up. They gave me credit for one entree, and asked me for $18.00. All three of my entrees were either missing items and one was completely incorrect. I was essentially told I was just trying to get free food. From the same manager who would 'credit' me. They screwed up my entire family's meal, offered a credit and I'm trying to get free food? After much hassle, the manager went in the back to see if he was allowed to give me a free meal. I left. They lost a good customer and after I left I drove by their back door, which is a screen door. I am now SO HAPPY I walked out. Stay away. read more

I'm posting this review while sitting in the parking lot. My girlfriend went into pick up our takeout order. We called 1 hour ago and they said ready in 15 minutes. She just let me know there is still no sign of our order...I told her to just leave. Would have never gone here if I knew it would take over an hour for takeout..... Ridiculous. Follow up.... After almost an hour and a half from the time we called, she finally walked out after two people got their orders that ordered after us. Will never go here again. read more

Good, not great. Got the crab rangoon, general tso's and the vegetable lo mein. The crab rangoon was awesome, got 6 big pieces for 3 bucks. General tso's was 10 bucks but had a big portion. Chicken was decent but not amazing. Semi chewy. Lo mein was decent too. Noodles didnt have a lot of seasoning but were ok. 7 bucks for a big portion. Overall id give it a 6.5/10. Might go here again, but there was definitely hits and misses. read more

Awful they deliver I'm right down the street working and they kept saying they don't deliver their i could walk there if I wasn't working but I am and they wouldn't deliver so they have earned a bad rating in my book for customer service read more

We used DoorDash for takeout...typically all Chinese food tastes the same to us but the past 2 times we felt like Zou's was exceptionally delicious! We love their Pork Lo Mein (lots of flavor, pork not chewy at all) and the General Tso's was spicy and the chicken was moist (not dry). Love the Crab Rangoon, also. We will continue to go back! read more

My husband and I have been long time customers of Zous Garden. After the treatment I received today, we are no longer customers. 'Nuff Said!

I used to love going there. The lady was always so pleasant, but in the past year everything has gone downhill, lately when you place an order and they say 15 minutes you get there in 15 minutes and sit there and wait another 15 minutes. Or you get your order and part of it is missing and you say that part of your order is missing and they argue that you didn't order what you know you ordered. Then they make you stand there and wait for five minutes while your food is getting cold so that they can show you how they think you are wrong. Shitty service anymore. Don't appreciate being called a liar. And if you make a mistake you Should apologize, ask how you can make it right, and just do that instead of holding my food hostage while you try to prove me wrong. read more

On the positive side, the food was good. Huge portion for not a high price. My fiance and I got crab rangoon, Happy Family, and the Seven Stars (I forget the exact name). We took home leftovers. The plates were large and full of food. Very good. They even gave us free lemon cakes for dessert. Also delicious. Now, on the negative side. The service was slow. We were the only people in the restaurant and it still took 10 minutes just to get a drink order taken. Additionally, the owner/workers had their small children in the restaurant. Two small kids under 10 years old were running in and out of the kitchen and sneezing. A third kid was babysitting them and taking/delivering orders. I'd rather not have germ-infested kids sneezing on my food. Chances are good we will not be returning to this Chinese restaurant. read more

It's delicious!! I don't understand why they don't have better rating. Been here twice and now it is my go to Asian food place on my way home! read more

Absolutely love this place. Been here a few times and it's officially my favorite Chinese spot. I'm a vegetarian and there's an amazing variety. All the food is made so fresh! Even the duck sauce is homemade! Always happy here, excellent customer service!!! read more

This place was actually surprisingly good. Pretty cheap too. Had the cold sesame noodles and the General tsos chicken. The noodles were awesome and for less than 4$ a great deal. The general tsos was very good also. I wasn't a big fan of the fried rice though, and wish I had gotten white ri read more

Great price. Good portions. And the food is above average for it's price. It's our families "go to" place for Chinese food in the Morgantown area. read more

I had been hesitant to try this place based on its location and first impression. After seeing review, I decided to take a chance. Nice people, but sadly not good - as a matter of fact, I can say the worst sushi I have ever had. What did I really expect? read more

The most vegetarian options I have seen in neighboring 20 miles. Everything we have ever gotten there has been great. They even threw in free donuts the last time we went. Wife and I are sold. This is our go-to chinese place. The vegetarian versions of everything are amazingly good. read more

Awesome experience for Chinese food. Huge portions for take out and surprisingly clean. Had take out twice and my wife and I each had 2 meals out of 1 for under 20. Really healthy options also for the health conscious. Me personally, nothing like a good Won Ton soup with some boneless spare ribs. read more

Being in the middle of no where the food was pretty good. Standard Chinese take out with a good selection. The Fried rice, general Tso and egg foo young was standard. I'll plan to come back and try again to confirm my decision. read more

Surprisingly good! Coming from the DC area where there are hundreds of Chinese restaurants, I was a little skeptical about Zou's Garden in Morgantown, PA. But the food was excellent, service was great, and had an overall very pleasant experience. Hot and sour soup was flavorful, lunch specials were cheap, and service was friendly. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

I have eaten here 4 times in the last month and have been pleased with each selection. I have ordered the honey chicken, chicken with cashews, shrimp hunan, and wonton soup. All the items tasted great and were ready on time and made exactly as I requested. I will continue to frequent this establishment as it is very close to my work. read more

This place is a real pleasant surprise , clean interior very nice staff, tasty food ! The outside appearance may look rundown but the inside is clean and nice and the food was again great. Definitely recommend ! read more

Eh - it's okay. Food is decent. Last time we were there everything was too greasy - especially the lo mein. I love good fried rice - def not one of their specialties. People say it's the best Chinese food in the area - lol - that doesn't say a whole lot. read more

Changed hands again - we ordered ribs and it was nearly $10 just for them! Combo was $8 - umm, we won't be coming back anymore if these prices remain this high. You can eat at a local buffet for $13 and get tons of food - ridiculous! read more

This restaurant was a pure 1 star. The service was slow and uncanny. I will not be returning. I found hair in my won ton soup and teeth in my sprite. I was disgusted. Please do not EVER eat anywhere else but here. read more

By any standards this is a basic 3 Star Americanized Chinese restaurant offering the same food every other Chinese place near you has. Sesame chicken, lo mein noodle, shrimp fried rice, crab Rangoon, etc. They do mostly take out and are very accurate with the orders placed. They've never messed mine up and I've placed big orders and place small orders frequently. The reason I'm giving Zous 5 stars is because they offer vegetarian options and sushi + the staff is always helpful and remembers my spicy mayo without me even asking for it! The sushi is surprisingly good and I mean that in the best way because it's a Chinese restaurant serving sushi in lil Morgantown, PA... while it can't compete with my favorite sushi places in Lancaster county it's still good for the area. They offer some specialty rolls but I've mostly enjoyed the regular rolls like the sweet potato roll, New Orlean roll, and shrimp tempura Roll. Give this place a try! You'll be surprised how much you like it read more

Ok so Zou's Garden I heard from someone that this place was a bad place, so after living near this place for a while we decided to check this it out, an ya they were right I went there with two other people and they were not very happy either. It was empty except one other person and the owners 3 other kids, I ordered the shrimp rice noodle dish and it tasted burnt even tho it didn't have any burnt noodles and it was different iv never had bamboo in it but it tasted funny, my cousin ordered 1 or 2 cream cheese and cucumber sushi roles, they didn't even make the roles until we got our hot food and the guy at the table next to us got his hot food. The sushi roles were not even cold like they should have been. The owner took our order she was polite an quick but than when she told her kids to go take the food to the tables they didn't even want to do it they were rude and didn't know what table the food went to. I wouldn't eat ther again unless they changed. That is probably why no one else was there. read more

Went there a couple times, and it's pretty standard fare for a takeout Chinese food place. I would go here, because there isn't any other good Chinese places in the area. The dining room is alright, nothing fancy, but the owner is nice and the food is good and cheap too. I prefer getting takeout, just because it's faster, but when I went with some friends we did get free Chinese doughnuts for ordering a lot of food, which is cool. If you like Chinese, go here. Also, there's a lot of vegetarian and vegan stuff. Worth going to, good takeout, good prices, I like it! read more

Owners seem nice. Food is average to below average. This is the better place to get Chinese in Morgantown, though.

Used to eat there all the time. Stopped after I got tired of seeing youngsters ( owners kids) waiting tables and handling food. One of them had some type of whooping cough, and the other was a nose picker. If it's not illegal to have kids working behind the counter (7-8 year olds) it darn well should be. It's hard enough to instill food handling safety concepts into adults, much less children. Will never go back. I now go to Good Friend in the Morgantown Crossing center. They are still a little bit dirty, but I'd rather take my chances there. I will say that Zou's food was always good, but I'll not have kids touching my silverware & plates. Especially those kids. read more

We have been long time patrons of zous and we were excited to enjoy our take out. We ordered our usual sesame chicken and general sous, we also ordered a side of lo mein and white rice for the kids. We hadn't tried their sushi yet so we ordered two rolls. This was probably the worst $33 I've ever spent. Our sushi rolls just fell apart it was impossible to eat them like you would normal sushi. Our chicken meals had little to no flavor and the pork fried rice tasted like it was a few days old. We got no sauces in our bag. Our egg rolls tasted like they had been frozen for who knows how long :( this has always been our favorite Chinese place to order from but I'm not sure I'll be wasting any more of my money here again. The only positives were the free crab ragoons that we got with our order and the white rice was well... white rice. Did they change owners? The food quality just really seemed to have gone down! Edit to add we found WHITE ANIMAL LIKE HAIRS IN OUR CHICKEN. Officially done and calling them for a refund so disappointing. read more
