Recently I have been trying a bunch of local American Chinese Restaurants trying to chase a high. A few months ago, my friend moved to Manchester, NH and he told me that on his first night he ordered from a random place and thought it was the best Chinese food he had ever eaten. When I visited, I insisted that we order takeout so that I could experience this apparent masterpiece. Sesame Chicken ; this is hands down the best dish I have ever tried in the Gao/Tso/Sesame/Orange chicken canon. There was just enough sauce for every piece to be fully glazed without leaving a giant pool underneath the pile. Every chicken had a thin batter on it, meaning every bite was mostly the good stuff - the meat! And that CRISP. I didn't know it was possible for this dish to be crispy. And this was TAKEOUT. It was already steaming in its container before it got to us. When I devoured my container I was shocked to discover that I didn't feel bad either. That portion was perfect. I felt perfect. I need to go back to Manchester. I've found my religion. read more

Cheng Du Kitchen - Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I wanted to like this place based on the reviews on DoorDash, but it was mostly a huge waste of money. The Pork Fried Rice was dry, tasteless, and had the tiniest amount of pork in it, of any pork fried rice I have ever had. I threw it away. The Wonton Soup ugh. Tasted like warm water. The Pork Egg Roll (1) was actually tasty, but really greasy. I would still eat that again. The last thing we ordered was the Boneless Spare Ribs. These were different than most places, tasty, had some sort of sauce on them, but at least they weren't dry. I didn't go in, however, the food came packaged well, and in a timely manner for a Friday. So their service must be good. I don't know what it looks like, as I haven't been in- so as for ambiance? No idea. Still disappointed that I had to throw away over $20 of food! read more

Cheng Du Kitchen - Pu pu 3 after fishing 3 plates - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

If sad were a Chinese restaurant, this would be it. Ordered a pu pu for 1 tonight with some dumplings--$30 plus worth of food. There was something really rancid about my egg roll, inedible, to say the least. The chicken wing was fried to absolute death. Dumplings were absolutely drenched in oil. Rice was tasty, as were chicken fingers and crab Rangoons. The Saddest protein portions I have ever seen. I'd hate to review a place that seems like a mom and pop restaurant, but it's hard to ever come back here again. read more

Cheng Du Kitchen - Dumplings. - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I used Yelp Of course to check it out after 15 years in the area i know I just assumed incorrectly lol Anyway i figured I'd give it a shot the reviews were great on Yelp I just always went to Chang Yang Li Bedford It was always outstanding but i didn't want to drive to Bedford So i again i checked Yelp and ordered away with Cheng Du I thought it was great the Low Mein I think of myself as somewhat who could live lo Mein alone I love it it's my gauge to determine if I'm going to proceed with the establishment or pass So then as i often do is to ask for extra something whether that be Soy sauce Hit mustard or my addiction Duck sauce now at Chang Yang they make their own Duck sauce it's good and i always ask for a bucket lol which is never an issue So of course i asked at Cheng Du and she one of the owners there a married couple great people no problem and sometimes i ask for extra fortune cookies just love them again no problem To me the only difference in the 2 is not certainty the quality of the food both are very good but in seating as you can't sit down at Cheng like you can at Chang Yang So after this novel lol i think they are super and im trying something new almost weekly now with Cheng Du So bottom line is they are good quality establishments of course the menus are quite different Well I hoped this helped in someway Chow for now Steve Gator D read more

Ordered a Large Shrimp with vegetables, to go. The food was very good, a lot of shrimp, sauce was good not overpowering the shrimp. The side of rice added to the meal. Orange sauce was excellent, obviously made there, quite good. Plenty of food for lunch, for me a nice alternative from a sandwich or burger. Will be back. read more

Cheng Du Kitchen - Shrimp w Vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Okay to get your fix, but the hot and sour soup was a 5/10. Too many mushrooms, no bamboo shoots, and spice/flavor didn't hit. White gurl comfortably ate it. Will give it another shot. read more

This is a great Chinese Restaurant.. They only offer takeout and delivery, through different delivery services. They keep a clean store and are very friendly.. They have a typical Chinese Food menu.. We always order their Singapore Street Noodle, Shrimp Fried Rice and two Egg Rolls.. Their kitchen is clean and they have good hygiene. You won't regret eating from here.. They deserve your business.. Let them earn your return visit. read more

Cheng Du Kitchen - A cool wall piece! - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I first started going to Chang Du Kitchen about a year and a half ago when I moved to a new apartment in Hooksett. I live in Henniker now and still go to it for my Chinese food. I love this place I always get my usual shrimp lo mein and 2 egg rolls. Also made fantastically and tastes amazing. The service is good and always kind and respectful to me. Price is good as well. You definitely get the amount and taste you pay for. read more

I picked up 2 dinner specials. The egg roll wasn't crispy, but soggy because of the steam from the rice. It should be packaged separately. I got chicken with vegetables. I didn't like the sauce and neither did my adult son. I won't go back there. read more

Typical Chinese food but better. We had the gyoza, sweet and sour chicken, and chicken and broccoli. Above average, but not mind blowing, just good read more

Best Chinese takeout, their crab rangoon is the best of the many places I've tried and their chicken teriyaki is my go-to ! Honestly don't want Chinese food if it's not from Cheng Du Kitchen lol read more

Ordered for the first time - beef lo main- it was TO DIE FOR!! My Co works and I will be return happy customers!! Recommend this place 10/10!!!! read more

I ordered lunch from there today and was very disappointed. I had the chicken and broccoli with pork fried rice and an egg roll. The sauce on the chicken tasted as if it was missing a key ingredient but I'm not sure what that was. Except for the sauce the chicken and broccoli meat and veggie didn't taste bad.The egg roll tasted old and as if it had been precooked, left to sit and then reheated? The fried rice looked and tasted old. The meat was gross as if it was old and the rice had a strange taste to it. I have ordered from here before a few times and it has always been good. But not today. I'm not sure if I would ever get food from them again it was that bad. read more

Horrible food. Beef and veggies: beef was ALL fat, veggies limp. Pork fried rice: no flavor. Egg rolls: no flavor. Threw it all away.

Great take-out option; it's not top of the line gourmet. For that, shoot down to Boston I hear. But for typical weeknight, tasty "Chinese" this place is just fine. Nice service with plenty of parking. It's the end unit of a small plaza. My son likes their Peking ravioli. read more

Cheng Du Kitchen - 12. Peking Ravioli 40. Vegetable Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

A cr@ckhead was yelling at me outside the front door for a ride so I came in very upset lmao. Poor kid at the front has probably seen that many times already. Anyways. Crab rangoons were pretty good. My second favorite in Manchester. read more

Best Chinese food I've had. 10/10. Crab rangoons were a little flat but besides that everything is always super tasty. General Tso is the literally the best ever read more

I am surprised and delighted to say that Cheng Du Kitchen was absolutely delicious! We highly recommend trying this place out! The prices are reasonable, the food is delicious and the service is spot on! Great job Cheng Du Kitchen! Kudos to you! read more

I have been ordering from here since I moved to Hooksett and it's been really good. Haven't been disappointed yet. The only thing is the little boy that works the register, he seems bothered. Not sure if he'd rather be playing video games but he helps pay customers out. read more

Ordered a lunch combo meal today. General Tsao's chicken, pork fried rice and crab Rangoon, only $7.25. Good portion. Crab Rangoon was cooked perfectly as well as the general tsao's chicken, tender chicken inside a crispy tempura coating. Fried rice was tasty and not greasy at all. Will order from here again. read more

The food from Chen du, was excellent. This the third time we ordered from them. The food as delicious and generous portions. Quick easy ordering.the driver was spot on. I would recommend them and good Chinese food!! read more

Found my new go-to for Chinese food in NH. Cheng Du Kitchen is mostly a takeout restaurant - it only has 5 tables with 4 chairs at each table. It is a small, mom-and-pop restaurant. I think the pop works the kitchen and the mom handles the front and takes all the takeout orders. I love the convenience of being able to place my order online. They have a pretty big menu filled with Americanized Chinese food as well as authentic Chinese food. I saw the salt & pepper fried squid and the salt & pepper fried shrimp on the menu and knew I had to try this place out. Both dishes were pretty good especially for the price! Nothing spectacular but fried well with a good ratio of batter to protein. The steamed shrimp dumplings AKA hargow were pretty solid as well so if you're looking to partially satisfy your dimsum cravings they have decent hargow. The Szechuan spicy wontons were meh...the sauce was a little too tart for me so I probably won't get it again. But Cheng Du definitely has my business for my salt & pepper friend squid and shrimp cravings! read more

I just tried Cheng Du for the first time and wow!! Delicious, fresh and full of flavor!' No fat on the meat, everything was well seasoned and cooked. Pork fried rice is delicious too! Definitely a lot of care goes into the cooking here!!! read more

As usual consistently awesome. The shrimp dumplings are amazing..shrimp in garlic sauce is so good. Crab rangoons outstanding. This is a family run business and they work hard! There are so many amazing things to choose from. Homemade! So good. read more

I got lo mien, rice, crab Rangoon, hot and sour soup, and general tso's chicken. All the food was delicious. My new favorite restaurant!!

We recently moved to New Hampshire and I'm so happy to have finally found an excellent Chinese food restaurant! They are friendly and their food is consistently yummy. We love to order the chicken lo mein and orange chicken. The crab ragoons are good too. read more

Dont come here unless you want to wait a long time. Ordered for a 545 pickup. It's been 45 minutes and we still haven't gotten our food. Update: food was decent. We ordered crab rangoons, chicken and broccoli dinner, pu pu for one and beef lomain. Crab ragoons probably would have been better if they were hot and the chicken wing that came in the pu pu was so greasy we couldn't eat it. Everything else was fine. read more

Nothing fancy but a good place to stop and get quick flavorful dinner. We ordered the steamed dumplings which I am a fan of. It does not look or taste like the frozen thick dumplings you get from other Chinese restaurants. I am a super fan of spicy food as I have grown up with spicy Southeast Asian food all my life. The spicy dumplings and the Ma Po Tofu are not for those who like it mild or even medium. Beware, it can catch you by surprise. In addition, we also ordered the beef broccoli. The flavor was good, the vegetables still have crunch and the right amount of sauce. All in all, good food, have a little patience for food made to order, reasonable prices and try something new on the menu. read more

My food came cold. All of it because the person was 40 minutes late. I also now don't feel well. My stomach has been hurting since I ate the food and bathroom trips keep happening. read more

Amazing - most flavorful and delicious Chinese food I've ever had. Really good size portions at a really good price. I stopped by to get dinner for my family of 4. We ordered a Pupu platter, chicken chowmein, chicken fried rice, General Taos, and chicken egg foo young. I took the order to go, and in about 15 minutes I was handed a very heavy, happy face bag FULL of food. When I got home with the food, I was pleasantly surprised that everything was there including all condiments and napkins! The food was hot and delicious and my family happily devoured it all, while constantly commenting on how much they were enjoying it. By morning there were no leftovers. I will be back in again! read more

My family and I ordered grubhub from here tonight since our favorite chinese restaurants are mysteriously closed. We wanted steamed chicken and mixed vegetables, simple and healthy, right? I guess Cheng Du kitchen thought it would be acceptable to send us an entire container of ONLY VEGETABLES. There was not even a single piece of chicken. I re-checked my order to make sure it wasn't a mistake I had made, and It wasn't. I did indeed order the steamed chicken with mix veg. Anyway, the meal was $29 for a half pound of vegetables and white rice, and a singular spring roll. Ridiculous. Luckily got a refund on what was supposed to be chicken. The white rice was pretty good. The spring roll was spicy?? Don't order from here, or if you do, pick- up and check the food to make sure it's right before leaving. read more

Ok, this place is getting a bad rap here in Yelp land, and, having just had an awful experience with another Chinese place, I'm posting my slightly modified original review of this place from 2010 (which was removed when the restaurant changed names from Wah Tong). I order from here about once every couple months and, sure, the food is nothing spectacular, but it is consistent and the service is fast (especially takeout) Over the past couple of years, I've had their wonton soup, crab rangoon, steamed dumplings, shrimp fried rice, veggie/chicken/shrimp/house lo mein, sesame chicken, chicken and beef teriyaki (personal favorite), kung pao chicken, general tso's chicken, etc, etc. The food is good quality and not overly greasy (though the lo mein can be sometimes). The sesame chicken was spicy which was unexpected, but had excellent flavor and the perfect amount of breading (you could actually taste the large chunks of white meat chicken!) Prices are comparable to other chinese restaurants in the area. They have a $20 minimum for dinner delivery and a $1 delivery charge. If you live in the Manchester/Hooksett area, give 'em a shot. read more

Amazing ragoons and authentic egg foo young! But the hot and sour soup needs work. It was just eggdrop with hot sauce in it... I was disappointed because I ordered a large tub of it (I am sick) when I'm sick I love to just live off hot and sour soup... not this time. I through it away. But everything else is good that we've tried! read more

Crab ragoons are friggin awesome. Took a little over an hour to get our food- but it was Friday night and well worth the wait. The price is right and the employees were great! read more

I ate here for the first time yesterday. I ordered the mini pu pu platter. It wasn't great, but wasn't bad. Food came out hot and fresh. Had to wait about 30 mins. I was the only one there. 3 outta 5 stars is the best I could give. read more

Best Chinese food in New Hampshire, greatest crab rangoons we've ever tasted! Very friendly either over the phone or in person for pick up, and always a fast delivery! read more

Prices are good but you get what you pay for. Moo shi beef was pretty good but not great. General Gau's chicken didn't taste like general gaus at all. It reminded me of Chinese buffet food. There are better options in Manchester. Probably wouldn't eat here again. read more

I like how you can order online now. I've been a customer of cheng du for years and have always enjoyed their food. I'm huge fan of their scallion pancakes, won ton soup and vegetable spring rolls. I just wish there were more wontons in the soup. read more

I wish I could say something good about it other than the delivery was fast and courtious. But thats it I ordered off the diner combo the L11 (Kung Pao Chicken, Fried Rice and Eggroll) we also got Chicken Wings and Peking Dumplings My Wife got the Beef with Broccoli both were really bad neither of us could finish our meal it was very greasy to an allmost slimy point the Chicken wings looked like they had been plucked and not cleaned then thrown in a fryer the kung pao had no real flavor to it and the chicken tasted stringy and fatty then the Beef and broccoli the broccoli seemed like it had been over cooked on the florets then the stems felt raw needles to say I will not go there again read more
