Not as consistent as other chinese places in the area. General tso's chicken isn't spicy, but sweet and the chunks of chicken, while pretty big, are fried evenly. Tried the order of wings-- overpriced, but not bad. Needed a little more hot sauce. Lo mein is way too greasy and oily, tastes mostly like oil so the umami flavor doesn't really come through well. Beef is either old or a very bad cut, as it's chewy in the wrong way and stringy. After ordering a few times, I realized that sometimes, the lo mein isn't too bad, but this last time has me calling it quits with Evergreen. My friends like it because of the cheap delivery fee and how close it is with quick service, but except for the fried things like general tso's, egg rolls, dumplings (which are hard to mess up), there's nothing really edible here. read more

I really like this spot. It's around the corner from us and is very good. I've been here 3 times in two weeks, which is telling in itself. I've had their wanton and hot sour soups, both are very tasty. I've ordered their combination platters. The fried rice is very tasty. I had both Chicken with Broccoli and General Tso's Chicken, also both very yummy. Their egg rolls are excellent as well. I also really like their steamed dumplings. My wife has ordered a few other things, all very good by her accounts. Given this breadth of experiences, I feel confident ordering anything from Evergreen. read more

Ever Green - the front of a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Got take out tonight for the first time after hearing how amazing the food is. I got the General Tso chicken, vegetarian lo main, friend pork dumplings, and a vegetarian egg roll. The General Tso was the best part of this meal! Out of crappy Chinese places in the area, definitely the tastiest one! The lo main was ok, not earth shattering by any means. The egg roll was heavy and filling wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. The dumpling filling was delicious but the dough was so thick.. The dipping sauce was great, I just wish there was less dough in the dumpling.. Overall an ok experience, hits the spot when the craving arises. Delivery was fast and the food was warm! read more

See all

The food was dry; it had no flavor. Even the egg rolls. So dry it felt like i was chewing bamboo. I was highly offended by what they chose to send out to a "regular" since Covid. Third time. Last chance. read more

Order came on time, however the food was a disappointment. Crab Rangoons - greasy Pan Fried Wonton with Garlic Sauce - very greasy - wasn't in garlic sauce Steamed Pork Dumplings - ok small Vegetable Fried Rice - bland, rice mushy, hardly any vegetables 1Shrimp Egg Foo Young - ok - had better at other takeout restaurants Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce - not good lots of onions would not order again General Tso's Chicken - just ok but would not order again Fried Chicken Wings - greasy and fried rice tasted like it was days old not fresh This was my first time ordering from this restaurant- looked at the ratings listed on Grubhub but did not read what people said. I will never order from here again. Food was not good and didn't taste fresh. read more

This is a honest review after having ordered many of their popular items on the menu over 2 years. - I give 5 stars to their most popular/famous general tso chicken dish. The chicken is fried well and crispy in a delicious sweet sauce (best I've ever had). Comes with rice and two large pieces of broccoli. The freshness and quality has always been excellent and consistent. -Sweet tea is very tasty and their wonton and egg drop soup is good too! - I had to subtract 1 star from the overall score bc the rest of the items I've ordered (pork dumplings, crab rangoons, scallion pancakes, chicken teriyaki, shrimp teriyaki, and shrimp toast were not very good and average at best. I recommend giving them a try if you live near Penn and West Philly area for chinese food. read more

On second thought (/taste), this is actually the best hole-in-the-wall Chinese takeout place in West Philadelphia. I realize that's like saying "This is the girl with the least strains of herpes in the entire whorehouse", but it's true. read more

This is my secound time ordering food from this place really enjoyed what I ordered, and my food was delivered on time but the person didn't say thank you i said thank too him as if I was delivering the food but I was satisfied with my food.. read more

If you have a seafood allergies and you value your life do not order from them period. They have no care for there costumer life and will aurgue you down and hang up on you when you try to tell them they sent something you didnt order. I ordered from this restaurant and they messed up my order they sent me crab Rangoon  instead of chicken nuggets i am highly allergic to seafood. They are refusing to fix  the issue and have hung up on me twice. I am extremely  upset, my lips are swelling and my throat is itching. I beg them to send the driver back out for him to take a look They are extremely unprofessional. read more

Ever Green - This is Crab Rangoon not chicken nuggets - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I ordered from them because of the high ratings on here. I was disappointed. First of all, I put in three special requests when I ordered on grubhub. They followed two, but not the other. Also, they didn't deliver my General Tso's Chicken. Instead, I got an order of boneless BBQ ribs. The original order took an hour and 20 minutes to arrive. I called them up and told them that they hadn't given me my entree and the duck sauce and mustard I had ordered with my spring roll. It took them another half hour to get them back out to me. An hour and 49 minutes after I had ordered, I got my General Tso's. When the driver came back and I shared with him my disappointment, he shook his head and told me it was being run by NEW OWNERS. So, here's what I ordered and how it was: Fried chicken wings: Meh. scallion pancakes: Inedible. Wonton soup: Meh. Fried Jumbo Prawns: sub par chicken lo mein: Good. Boneless BBQ ribs: Good. The much-vaunted General Tso's Chicken: It was above average. I mean, it was crispy, but the flavor wasn't spectacular. read more

I've been trying to find a palatable Chinese place in West Philly. I used to live in New York and was spoiled at the quality of Chinese food. When I moved here, everywhere I tried was not up to par. This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in W. Philly. I've tried most of them now and this stands as my favorite. The reason? The food is freshly made and their ingredients are fresh. You can taste the crispiness of freshly fried sesame chicken and the crunch of fresh veggies. Given what it is (a cheap Chinese delivery place), it's tops in my book. read more

I think this place hits the right spot when you're being a gluttonous slob at home watching movies or catching up on your latest T.V. shows. Portions are generous, taste is okay, and the delivery fee is cheap compared to other places on Grubhub. I like their roast pork fried rice and their steamed dumplings. Their lo-mein is okay (fried rice is better), and their entrees are also generously portioned and above-average for takeout. This place is definitely not sit-in but take-out and delivery only, though dining in is probably not entirely out of the question. read more

Not really great. Maybe Green Garden was so bad that in comparison Evergreen was looking worthy of a lot of praise (??) / I don't know what I was thinking last time I reviewed Evergreen so I wanted to update. I used to like to order the mixed vegetables combo platter, but most times I ordered it, the mixed vegetables smelled kind of funky (rotten funky) and that kind of freaked me out so I haven't ordered from here in a long time. It smells so good whenever I walk on that block that I am occasionally tempted to stop in, but then I remember the rotten vegetables and keep walking. read more

Evergreen rarely disappoints ! The absolute best shrimp rolls known to man ! Their chicken wings are great and the rice is good:) I also love the chicken and broccoli ! today I'm trying something new, sweet and sour shrimp! read more

Ever Green - Sweet and sour shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I order here quite a bit, sometimes back to back days. One time, I think I ordered twice in one day. This is typical, take out "chinese" food, but its better than any other place that delivers to my area. Because its only take-out, I stay safe with the usual suspects and save the fancy stuff for authentic restaurants. Fried wings, egg rolls, cheese steak rolls, lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, crab rangoon and fried rice. All pretty tasty, but its kind of hard to mess up fried foods. I THINK I may have gotten Singapore Noodles from here before and it was pretty good. Not the best I've had, but not the worst either. It was kind of dry. Only three stars because I only get fried foods. Yes, that's my fault, but hell hath no fury like a woman hungry, so I get what I know I would like. read more

I like Evergreen b/c they're the best Chinese delivery/take-out (that I know of) in the Spruce Hill area. We usually get lo mein, general tso chicken, garlic wings and scallion pancakes. Try it, it's not bad. read more

They take your money and not time to make your food... They have pre fried egg rolls noticeably as you walk upfront the counter as if to throw a slap in your face as saying I'm going to sell of of this egg roll if not freeze it. Next visit please take a look... Food is of bad quality and not with love.. Its a patronage place of business that feeds off the community as they prepare to k I d's to attend a ivory league as the community strives to struggle to get of the same community.. There interest is not at your heart...please boycott the aggorance of unsatisfying food thats meets your palate. Just looking at the stockpile of pre fried eggs rolls turns your stomach... Just take a look and please boycott read more

The entire meal, such a disappointment. I ordered bean curd with broccoli: the broccoli did not look fresh, the bean curd was fried too hard - had a difficult time chewing it and the sauce was overly sweet, yuck. I also ordered roasted pork egg foo yong: the gravy was a bright yellow, never saw a bright yellow gravy before, usually brown. The egg patty was fried hard (aka) burned. The egg foo yong had no flavor, felt like I was eating cardboard. Because my ordered was over $20, I was given a complementary coupon, I order sweet and sour soup. What a huge mistake, this particular soup should have been spicy yet it was tasteless and it had a slimy, thick consistency to it. I am so upset by all of this, I plan to personally take the whole damn meal back to the restaurant and demand my money back. I don't like throwing money away. I am hopping mad. The rating on this meal was less than one star, are you kidding me. Hopping mad??? read more

I recently moved to West Philly and have been ordering from here for a little while. While they do have very good General Tso's chicken (it's nice and sweet, has good texture and flavor), almost everything else I have ordered from them has been terrible. I ordered chicken chow mein for my most recent order, expecting crispy noodles and some veggies and chicken, but what I got didn't resemble this at all: there were no noodles, the chicken's texture and flavor was that of boiled chicken, the only vegetables included were cabbage and onion, all in a strangely viscous yellow-green sauce. My girlfriend ordered pork yat mein, which was even worse than the chow mein: greasy, mustard yellow gravy, bad flavor, etc. Unfortunately I won't be ordering from them again. read more

This is the best Chinese take out in west philly! Good food, good prices, and the servings are large. There's really no place to sit and eat, but I always get take out or get it delivered. read more

I live a block away from Evergreen, and even after trying other west philly chinese spots, this is still my favorite. The food is fresh and tastes good, is not greasy, and the service is quick. Not to mention cheap. Look, it's not fine cuisine. But when you need cheap and quick chinese - Evergreen fulfills that need and has some great healthy options. Sesame chicken and soups are especially recommended. read more

Awesome food and delivery. I ordered veg chowmein and chicken chowmein platter. I got my ordered delivered in 40 mins at home. Food was just awesome. Eggs roles are just yummy! Also, their home made ice tea was just a treat. Quantity was good and tasty and hygienic food. A must try !! read more

I was looking to branch out to other Chinese restaurants in the area and I thought that I would give Evergreen a try. I ordered the Mongolian Beef and got a heavy order of the dish containing some beef and a overwhelming amount of onions and scallions. There was only a whisper of red peppers. They were the only veggies. While I though that the amount of beef was on the thin side of fair, I was so disappointed to be served so many onions. The delivery was earlier than expected, so that helped them get 2 starts. read more

Best Chinese delivery in University City I've tried so far. Definitely less greasy when compared to the alternatives, and the food tastes fresher overall. Prices are close to the other popular choices, maybe $1-$2 more. read more

I'll say it: I'm starting to really like this place. This is not the most authentic or innovative Chinese restaurant, but Evergreen is great at what it does - cheap, fast, tasty American-style Chinese food. I always get the pork chow fun and an hot and sour soup, it's always delivered to me piping hot, and it always tastes really good. I will continue to return to Evergreen for all my greasy-delicious Chinese food needs. One star off on principle for being cash only (WHY, PHILADELPHIA), but you can order with a credit card on Grubhub and they'll deliver it to your house! read more

There are so many good things about this place. Ordering online is as easy as pie, they deliver, their hours are great, THE WONTON SOUP! Sure, you'll feel like a sack of rocks after eating all that delicious General Tso's chicken, but its worth it. If you are gonna stoop to (American) Chinese takeout (and lets be honest, we've all been there multiple times a month) then Evergreen is the place to go. Unless you are vegetarian. Then I'd stick to Lucky's. Better tofu, better price. read more

The food is great--it's very fresh. However depending on what you get the proportion of meat to veggie might be off. I got the shrimp and broccoli and the order contained exactly 4 shrimps. read more

Disappointed. I have eaten here more than a few times without an issue. After seeing their latest inspection results from the dept of health, I will have to find a new spot for Chinese food. read more

I decided to give Ever Green a try (totally cheating on China House No. 5, by the way) since I tasted some of their shrimp fried rice earlier in the day. It was fresh and hot and light. Not greasy and fried. Had my rating been based solely on that dish, I would've given them three stars. But I gave them a shot with my favorite dish -- shrimp egg foo young. And that's why I gave them two stars. It was burned. :-( Also, I got a ginger ale. Before I opened it, I noticed that it looked like someone had taken a swig from the bottle already. And when I twisted the cap, there was very little fizz. I was SO disappointed. There's nothing like some hot Chinese food with an ice cold soda. And tonight, I was getting neither. Nonetheless, here are a couple of good things about Ever Green: -- I ordered a shrimp egg roll to nosh on during the car ride home. It was perfect. Crispy, hot and sufficiently filled with shrimp. -- The service was friendly. Despite these good points, it wasn't enough to raise the rating or earn them a second visit from me. China House No. 5, I'll never cheat on you again. read more

Ordered lunch for delivery one Sunday while working nearby. I was eating my last bite of my wonton soup when I realized there was a long bendy piece of METAL in my soup! See attached photo of the shard. Two stars instead of one because at first I enjoyed it, until the obvious disappointment of a finding a foreign object in your food. read more

Ever Green - This is the piece of metal that was at the bottom of my wonton soup! Ow! - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Best delivery chinese in West Philly. The food is fantastic, delivery is fast, amazing vegan, and the cleanest kitchen I've ever seen.

I ordered throught eat24hours.com. My food hasn't even come yet, and I already regret ordering. I tried several times now to contact support from the website; so I tried calling the actual restaurant. At this point, I don't know if I am getting cold, bad food or a full refund, but I know for sure I am getting a headache. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Not sure what all they hype is about. Tried the general tso chicken and it was ehh. If you want real delicious general chicken, I suggest chili szechuan on 42 and chestnut. That place is bomb. read more

Tried this place because they deliver out to my job in far West Philly. So happy I did! Check out their chow fun and lo mein - both excellent. Just remember this is take-out chinese, so keep your expectations realistic. This is my new favorite place for quick cheap Chinese in West Philly! read more

Good food. Terrible delivery service. They never get out of the car and you have to come to their car to get your food. The first time it happened I thought it was just an ignorant driver, nope. I guess that's the policy. I pay for delivery and I want the food delivered to my door. I don't want to put on a coat and shoes to go outside and get my food. That's why I ordered delivery, to stay in the comfort of my home! No more delivery orders for me and I don't recommend anyone order delivery from them. read more

I ordered online and got small size general tsos chicken and shrimp lomein. The order got delivered in after an hour. I don't know why it took so long. But I was very happy with the food. Delicious and plenty to share. I would order from here again! read more

I had an intense craving for Chinese food and found that Evergreen had good ratings on Grubhub. I see why! The General Tso's was reasonably priced and tasty. I was also very impressed by how quickly they had my order ready once I placed it online. I would definitely go here again! read more

Great vegetarian dumplings and relatively fresh food ...and this was late at night. Much better than a typical take out joint.

This is the best Chinese food I've had in West Philadelphia. I'm sure there are plenty good ones towards campus, but Evergreen always delivers to my sketchy area 15-20 minutes faster than their Grubhub estimated time. My boyfriend sticks with the General Tso's chicken but I've had every tofu/bean curd dish and can't pick a favorite. Bean curd with black bean sauce is slightly spicy and salty with a little crunch tofu and ma po bean curd has silky soft tofu, both get ordered probably 4 x a week. Seriously love this place and the drivers are super friendly. read more

Well, I gave Evergreen another chance during finals week when I didn't feel like cooking. Their food has gone even further downhill. The sauce on my chicken with broccoli was gloopy, there was a wet napkin inside my spring roll bag that was stuck to my food, and lastly, the chicken with broccoli made me incredibly sick. I should have just thrown it out. Ugh... read more
