So bad. I hate to say that. Hardly any chicken. We also had sweet and sour chicken and it was hard. The building is run down, but we got carryout. I will never be back. It was easy the worst Chinese that I've ever had. read more

Chinese Delight - a white styrofoam container with mushrooms and snow peas - Chinese Near Me - Howell, Michigan

All in all I enjoyed my meal a lot. Kung Pao chicken, crab Rangoon and beef skewers. Was it the best kung pao ever? No, but it was far better than 90% of anny other places. Add a few more peanuts, a few more peppers and add mushrooms and it would be world-class. Dining in was comfortable enough. The service was fast and friendly. I wouldn't think twice about going in again. read more

At this writing they had very limited hours and take out only. I understand that places are struggling, but in the same sense, you have to put out a consistent good product. I ordered 3 items -potstickers, egg roll and wonton soup. Potstickers were over cooked, very dark brown, puffed up so much that it made it look like there wasn't any filling. Egg roll was cooked dark brown too and it had a flavor that I could not distinguish. Lastly the wonton soup- although there were lots of vegetables-carrots, bamboo shoots, fresh sugar snap peas and wontons, which I enjoyed; the soup broth lacked flavor. Lastly, my fortune cookie was stale. We all have one time to make a good impression, Bummed-I had high hopes! read more

i usually don't give reviews but this was awful! we had to throw all the food out it was that bad! Made my stomach hurt, worst food I have had in a long time. the sweet and sour sauce tasted like tomato sauce, egg rolls were like paper and the rice was cold and old trouble! read more

Would not recommend! We had FOUR hairs that were in/around our food. So unsanitary and disturbing. Will not be going back! read more

Super friendly staff with interesting artwork on the walls. The boyfriend and I got takeout which included sweet and sour chicken, beef lo mein, and the dragons bird nest. The bird nest was delicious and highly recommended. Can't wait to try dine in once safe to do so. read more

Great Chinese food, friendly lady at the front. They get it done fast and with a smile. We usually do golden house but have been trying this lately and found it to be just as good and much quicker. Give it a try! read more

If I could give this a negative rating I would. it was slimy raw chicken at best. Someone needs to check this place. Its awful. I threw it away for health purposes. DO NOT EAT HERE!! read more

This restaurant is the reason I fell in love with Chinese food. Their crab rangoons and sweet and sour sauce is probably the main reason I come back for more. Crab rangoons are the best I've found in the are, and Their sweet and sour sauce is PERFECT. I can't find anything like it anywhere else. I am a creature of habit and always get the general tsos chicken because it's just that good - it varies a bit every time, but it is SO good every time. Smaller, family run business and they're so very friendly. read more

Picked up take out and it was the worst Chinese I have ever had, seriously. The food tasted horrible and the szechuan chicken had a odd smell. After I got home which is a short drive my wife noticed they didn't give us our egg rolls. I decided after tasting the food to not go back up and get them. They also overcharged for my meal calling it some other special which was bs from what the person on the phone said. I live about three minutes from here and will gladly drive past this next time I get Chinese. read more

This is, HANDS DOWN, the worst restaurant we have ever been to. The woman who I would assume is the owner, was cooking, serving, screaming at a male child in there whom she expected to be doing most of the work. The food was completely disgusting, to the point of being in edible. Our entire order was wrong and when we mentioned that she became very rude, to the point of basically throwing my son's dish in front of him. Steer clear if this place! read more

This used to be a very good Chinese restaurant. Last visit our egg rolls were spoiled (sour). They apologized and offered to replace them next visit. This visit while removing the dinners from the bag I thought they gave us the wrong order. There was absolutely no weight to the quart size containers. Such, that I thought it was some type of small appetizer. Upon opening, it was our dinners, however the portion size was so incredibly small it barely covered the bottom of the container. (Less than half the size of any other Chinese restaurant.) I called but they only argued with me that it was the dinner size quart. Sorry, not even remotely close. And sorry to say I will not be returning to Chinese Delight ever again. I'm guessing they were upset about replacing the egg rolls and optioned to deduct the loss/cost from our dinner portions. read more

Chinese Delight used to be our go to Chinese restaurant in the HOWELL area. We loved their food, and the owners. Unfortunately, for some reason, in our family's opinion, their food has gone down hill. The last couple of times that we ordered from there, things didn't seem as great as they had in the past, so we have been going to a different chinese restaurant when we've gone. We thought we'd give it another try recently, and unfortunately, we were disappointed. We ordered almond chicken, and the sauce was disgusting. It had separated by the time we got home, and had way too much oil in it. I tried stirring it back together, but it just tasted oily. We also ordered sweet and sour chicken. The chicken itself tasted ok, but overall was pretty bland and just not that great. The egg rolls there used to be the best around, and I don't know what was wrong with them, but they tasted gross. Almost like there was bad cabbage in them, or old oil used, or something. We didn't eat them, they tasted so strange. The won ton soup, which again, used to be the best, was salty and the meat in the wontons tasted weird. The owners are still great, but I'm sad to say, we won't be going back again. read more

Chinese delight is definitely a hidden gem! Family run, and by far some of the most delicious and fresh Chinese food I've ever had. Give them a shot and I guarantee you won't be disappointed! read more

This is mediocre Chinese food: it satisfies the craving, but doesn't leave you wanting more. When we walked in on a Saturday afternoon, the place was empty and we literally walked out thinking it was closed. The waitress chased us to get us to come back in. read more

I've been here twice. I have been told it was the only good Chinese place in Howell. I gave 4 stars because it has been good both times, just not our favorite. I do really like the decor though. Very nice, clean, and updated inside! I also saw people drinking red wine there too, so I do know they serve some alcohol. And service was extremely fast! read more

This is easily my favorite Chinese restaurant in Livingston county. I have been coming her for over 10 years, and the service is always friendly and the ohhhh the food. Soooooo GOOOD. read more

Chinese Delight is the best chinese around. I always stop when I'm passing through Howell. It is a family run place that is very good at accomodating large groups. Try the flaming poo poo platter and honey walnut shrimp as an app. and get the chinese fish or lo mein for dinner. Things here are authentic and well made, not greasy with overpowering sauces. They also have a seasonal menu with many options featuring what is available locally and in season (right now is asparagus!) They have a selection of Japanese beer which is fun and festive. read more

I've been to this place several times over the last three years. My order has only been incorrect once, and every time it has been wonderful anyways. It is a small staff, with the owner acting as waitress, her son managing the phone for to-go orders, and their cook in the back. She's more than happy to make the food how you ask, for example if you want an item steamed instead of cooked in the wok, etc. I'm not sure where the negative reviews have come from, perhaps they visited on a very busy evening, or unfortunately ran into a mistake. They are all very friendly there and I look forward to every visit, if only chinese food in general were healthier. read more

Lo mein chicken is our favorite. Not a fan of the general tso chicken. Family that runs the restaurant is friendly.

I took my family here on Friday 11/1/2013 and can say that not only was this the worst Chinese food we have ever had, it was the worst restaurant we have been too. I think our waitress was also the cook. She would take the order and then run into the kitchen to microwave the food. I'm pretty sure the food was microwaved because our food had hot spots and others that were Ice cold. I also agree with some of the other reviews about odd smell of food. Was fully expecting to be sick, but lucked out. I will never be back here and not exactly sure how they are still in business read more

This is probably the least tasty Chinese food in town... The egg drop tasted like cornstarch, the broccoli chicken was tasteless, and the sesame chicken was just weird and the chicken pieces were over fried and hard as rocks. The sauce for the crab Rangoon was also off... EVERYTHING we ordered was slightly off in taste or had no specific flavor. AVOID! read more

I've been to a lot of Chinese restaurants from living in Chicago and Los Angeles. This restaurant was very impressive because everything was so fresh. The dishes that we received had great color since all were cooked fresh to order and cooked properly. I really don't know what these other reviewers are talking about. This place has better food than most restaurants in Chinatown. The service was very good for being a Friday night and nearly a full house. Its a family business and they made us feel very welcome. Would definitely go again if we are in the area. read more

We have been searching for a good Chinese restaurant in Howell and have yet to find one. We ordered sweat and sour chicken which was dry and very bland, wasn't good at all. General Taos was ok the egg rolls were hard and taste like they were old. We will not be going back. read more

Yeck! Szechuan chicken and vegetables. For starters this place uses that weird Chinese meat. If you frequent a lot of Chinese places you'll know what I mean. Thai has 'real meat' but they were closed. Delights menu looked nice etc. Anyways, vegetables to me includes, broccoli, baby corn, pea pods etc. They only give you five slices of zucchini and the rest is bamboo shoots. SO disappointed. I also got potstickers. Heavy, thick breading, over fried, chewy, barely any center vegetables or meat. Skip it. read more

Best Chinese in livingston county. I drive here from eat lansing because the owners are so nice every time we visit. I love this place

I loved their food! Had a vermicelli seafood dish that was seasoned with curry..it was awesome! I love the thin noodles and the seafood was nice and fresh...mmmm!!! read more

This place is hands down the best Chinese restaurant you'll find for miles around. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We just went for our first time and we will definitely be back again for their pan fried chow mein. I recommend 10/10. read more

Best chinese I've ever had. Their egg rolls are the best by FAR. Especially when dipped in their homemade sweet & sour sauce.

This is as good as it gets for Chinese food in Livingston County. Family owned and operated. Henry is a great guy who will make your experience here the best! Prices are good and quality is too. If you want to book a party, there's a private dining room upstairs that will comfortably seat up to 50 and Henry will customize a buffet for your gathering to your specifications. I held my daughters baby shower here and it was lovely. Never had a Chinese themed baby shower before.... but it turned out great! read more

This place was good overall. Our waitress was really nice and seemed to be the only person waitressing the place so props to her. The crab ragoons were AMAZING but the wonton soup I got was kind of plain I kept having to add soy sauce to it. Other than that l liked this restaurant :) read more

Great Chinese food! Had spicy orange chicken...perfect heat. Great egg rolls and house made Chinese mustard. Almond boneless chicken was good...All though my wife insisted it was okay. read more

I've only been here a handful of times, but it's generally pretty good food.

Quick service, hot hot from the kitchen hot food and low prices (5.95-6.95) for the soup, egg roll, rice plus predictable protein greeted this Yelper today in Howell, MI. Overall, just ok. The egg drop soup was not neon yellow and had flavor, if not a bit thin. The egg roll had tasty cabbage ant mystery meat filling, though were a tad bit tough for these choppers. The tea was quite good. My main protein "crispy szechuan chicken" appeared bubbling hot underneath a sweet/sour sauce with too much vinegar/sour. The friendly server cautioned about the spice levels. My medium spice level threw fire around in my mouth...no complaints here. Be careful to order low level or none at all if your taste buds cannot handle significant heat. Overall, it was a filling lunch...one that screamed out MSG Naptime shortly thereafter. It fit the bill for inexpensive and filling...nothing memorable. Doubt I will return read more

By far our favorite Chinese restaurant! It's is a family run restaurant and the owners are so super friendly! Love it!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch there last weekend (08/20/2011). The food, prices, service and experience were all excellent. We were visiting from Ohio but I would gladly make that trip again. It will be a lifetime memory that will be hard to surpass. I wish it were located in my home town of Sylvania, OH, or I lived in Howell, MI. read more

Food is good.. but they rip you off!!! RUDE customer service. Food Portions are VERY VERY SMALL

I was downtown for the Sleepy Howell Halloween event and decided to stop here for dinner before heading home. They had appetizer plates already set on the tables, both on my table had flecks of food on them from the dishwasher. I decided to let it go because of how busy they were and just had them taken away. Next I ordered soda, and was unpleasantly surprised to find out they do not offer refills, my glass was 80% ice. 10 minutes later they finally came back to take our order, offering an egg roll and soup for an additional fee, my spouse agreed to get it. 15 minutes after that he was brought his egg roll, truthfully it was one of the best I've tasted. 15 minutes later he was brought his wonton soup, it was also very good. We stayed for an additional 30 minutes after that waiting for our meals, during that time we were informed of the refill policy, my spouse requested water and was served a glass with unidentified debris in it. I informed the server who didn't know what to do about it, and we decided we were done wasting time as we had been there over an hour, the site was not clean, and the staff unfriendly. I paid for the little we had received, 1 egg roll, 1 wonton soup, and 2 drinks, to the amount of $11. I will not be going here again. read more

I dont't get these poor reviews below. They must have turned things around because I swear this is the best Chinese food I think I've ever had and I've had a lot. Great service and vibe, crab ragoon is insane. Full bar which is a plus, my wife and I frequent at least once a week now. We love this spot! read more

Service was not prompt at all. It looked like there was only one lady running the joint. Prices are a bit expensive, too, with limited options for the dinner combinations. Very stingy with the fried rice. They only gave us a small bowl between the two of us, which was rather bizarre. Egg rolls came first, then soup, and then the main dish. I got the Szechuan crispy chicken. It was not crispy. It was not spicy. It tasted like breaded chicken drenched in sweet and sour sauce with some red pepper flakes thrown in. The vegetables with it were rather odd, too. Peas & Carrots from one of the frozen bags you get at the store. No fresh veggies except in my Wonton soup. We were also the only 2 in the entire restaurant during the dinner "rush" or lack thereof and service was still slow...which was why I found it questionable in the first place. Atmosphere is rather tacky and depressing. No vibrant colors, just a few things taped to the walls. Not very inviting. I don't see how this is in business in downtown Howell given what little traffic they had when other restaurants were packed. The price we paid was not worth it at all. Uhh, the ice water was good, though. read more
