    Cheng Du - Best hot and sour soup

    Just had dinner at Cheng Du in Paoli. We've been coming here for years. Hit some rough patches in…read morethe past but thought it's only fair to update on how excellent the food and this place is. Post 2025 Christmas dinner: Appetizer: Hot and sour soup. Hits the spot on a cold winter day. Flavors are savory with soy sauce, black mushrooms, and strips of tofu. This soup preps your palate for the Asian cuisine to follow. Also had scallion pancakes to balance textures in the early portion of this meal. Crispy pancakes made with fresh sliced scallions. Paired with the warmth of the hot and sour soup and you're off to a great start. Entrees: -Mongolian beef, -Chinese Cabbage and Mushrooms, -Ma Po Tofu (only if you can handle the heat), -Hot -Spicy Fish and Tofu, -Shrimp lo mein (basic lo mein with shrimp), -Orange Chicken - think sweet and sour sauce but orange flavored including orange zest, and -Orange Chicken w/out sauce. My youngest enjoys Orange Chicken w/out the sauce-- dry like plain popcorn chicken but it's not offered on the menu so this is how we order it. I tried it plain. It's yummy. They really ought to offer an entree that's just the popcorn chicken like Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The servers couldn't any nicer. They know our family when we visit. They know our orders too. Very attentive and intuitive. My husband and one of my kids has trouble with chopsticks. The servers always bring the forks for them. So sweet, they even gave us a New Year's present-- Cheng Du magnet at the end of our meal. This is the best Chinese food in the area without going into Chinatown in Philadelphia. Thank you Cheng Du. We'll be back again for dinner.

    We were so happy to have discovered Cheng Du! A bit of a ride for us but worth the detour for…read moresome real and spicy Chinese food with some Chinese-American options. It's not fancy and the service while pleasant, not particularly warm and fuzzy but I would drive out of my way to come here for the food. We would definitely reorder the dan dan noodles, the spicy dumplings and the Mongolian beef. These were delicious. The duck with scallion was just ok and had way too much celery for my liking. The kung Pao chicken was just ok for one of my dining partners as they missed the veggies they find in this dish in other restaurants. Definitely worth the trip for the dishes we did like.

    Bao Nine - Sticky chicky

    The Bao's were really good. I'm from out of town and did not want traditional American and that led…read moreme here. I've had bao before and it's usually pork belly so to see a restaurant that bao is the specialty and they've got such a variety is exciting! They didn't disappoint. The charred Brussels sprouts have such a tasty flavor and definitely recommend. The person helping me today, Ganandeep, recommended some really tasty options that really made a difference, he mentioned they've got a bao for everyone. The interior is simple yet cute with decent seating. Definitely add this to your "gotta try this place" list.

    I was very excited to try this place, as the photos of the Baos looked amazing, but unfortunately,…read morefell short of expectations. I had nine different Baos and some were good, but some were suboptimal. A few of my favorites were the Bang Bang, lil Bao Wow, and Bao Boa which the combination of flavors made sense on a bao and they didn't fall apart as easily due to the amount of filling they had or how soaked they were from the steam. The yenta, prime time, and crispy chick were okay. I wish there was a little bit more sauce on each one. I feel like the yenta would've been better with a larger pizza of pastrami as cutting it so thin and tiny sort of destroyed the flavor of it. The gringo was a bit on the drier side and the sticky chicky was underwhelming, I think it needed something extra to enhance the flavor profile of it. Lastly, I had the Hot Motha Clucka which was my least favorite of the nine. Not enough buffalo sauce and too much blue cheese, ultimately the blue cheese overpowered everything else and made this one a bit distasteful. The prices were also not much better, Nine Baos for $47 is absurd.

While the interior design and service are very good, food itself is lackluster and not of good value. My husband ordered $18 mini pot (five spice chicken), but he wasn't impressed by the flavor and portion. For him to say "the lunch is horrible", it means the flavor is really not there. I had the $18 signature chicken soup rice noodle. I would say it's of better value. But I wasn't too keen about the flavor either. Their food presentation is superb, but at the end of the day a restaurant needs to work on flavor and value if it's seeking long term success.

Caitlin & ling were nice Caitlin took the time to explain the menu. This is a hot pot place. You can order other things. You can order from their menu or create your own hot pot. They have a fixing bar where you can get sauces an other ad-ins for your hot pot m Food: Scallion pancake: it was good. It comes with a sauce Gyoza: it was ok Dessert soup with white fungus dates & brown sugar: it had a weird texture. It was lightly sweet. It was ok. Hot pot: They bring a beautiful pot to your table with thr both & meat we selected: lamb. They add hot water when the broth gets low however that diluted the broth. I would rather they brought more broth. The lamb was good but some of the lamb was tough and some was very tender which made us think they were cooked at different times. I took it home and pressure cooked it and it was great. I added rice to my take away. The portions were so big, it could feed 4 to 6 people!! The manager Zoie came over and answered questions about the process. She was nice. Overall we enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to going back.
