Food is always amazing and great Service and a Chinese ambiance ! Food is always fresh and tasty

I've ordered take out from here at least 6-7 times. The food is always hot when I get home and I drive about 15 minutes to home. I'm a little obsessive over HOT food so that's a major one for me with takeout. The General Tso is the best that I have found on the southside. Fried rice is good. Order is always correct. Staff is always friendly. My kid thinks they have the best crab rangoons. Do with that what you will. read more

Ordered food for pickup and it was ready when we arrived 5 minutes early. It stayed hot until we arrived home and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend. read more

I have been coming to this location for years with all great experiences. With my recent order it was correct and fresh (since you wait while they prepare it) and the staff are mostly family. read more

Very good food! Best Chinese around Franklin, Edinburgh, and Columbus!! Good prices, good food ,nice people!

We were on our way from Indy to Louisville and stopped in for a quick bite. Our first time. They have all the Chinese carry out standards. Prices were reasonable. Service was fast. We sat at one of the 3 tables. The food was good- pretty much what you get at any Chinese carry out but I would say the place was super clean and the mother and son team were personable. read more

Our food was delicious and extra kudos to the staff! The electricity was out due to a severe but short lived storm that came through town. They cooked our food by flashlights and an open door! We were told when we ordered they were asking for cash only. That's dedication to your customers!!! Way to go Long River!! read more

I ordered my favorite Chinese dish from here, which is Kung Pao Chicken. It was perfect. There is a restaurant about 1 mile from me that uses breaded chicken in their Kung Pao, and it's chewy and horrible, but not at Long River. The fried rice, egg roll, and Crab Rangoon were amazing as well. Two thumbs up! read more

Long River Chinese Restaurant - Kung Pao Chicken and Pork Fried Rice. I took several bites prior to this photo. Yummy! - Chinese Near Me - Franklin, Indiana

Long River is primarily a take out Chinese restaurant on the west side of Franklin. They have a few tables, but in the winter months, it gets kind of chilly sitting there whenever someone opens the door. There is no table service...just order at the counter and wait for it to be ready. They have most of the standard Chinese food items that you expect. My wife and I both got a pint of egg drop soup (served piping hot!) that was really tasty and had lots of egg white in the thick soup. She also went with the Chicken Fried Rice that comes with a lot more peas and carrots (and some onion) than she gets elsewhere. The flavor was okay, but not exceptional. I had the Beef and Broccoli with white rice. The broccoli is cut in large pieces, but was cooked properly. The beef had a nice flavor, though my wife thought it a bit overcooked when she sampled it. We also tried an order of fried dumplings that came with a zesty dipping sauce. The sausage center had a nice layer of spice on its own. They have canned soda and bottled water available. Although there isn't much atmosphere in the small dining room, don't let that stop you from placing an order for some take out! Review #2076 read more

I ordered shrimp toast tonight and it was inedible. Totally burnt and no taste of shrimp. Even the styrofoam box smelled charred. Why would they send it out like that?! What a waste of money. read more

This is one of the best Chinese take out places I know anywhere. The food is always good. The orders are always correct. Thee prices are fair. And the family that runs it are great. My mother was one of their first customers and, years later even though she is now in a nursing home, they regularly ask me how she is when I pick up my order. Yes, it's fairly Americanized and not especially authentic but it's still very good. Highly recommend! read more

Stop by because I had to go to the BMV near by. I ordered the shrimp lo mein. It was better than most I had. Its hard to screw up noodles, shrimp, and vegetables but their was better than most i had because they use medium size shrimp instead of the tiny shrimp. They give you enough shrimp to last the entire meal. The sauce they cook it in compliments everything. I will definitely check out how everything else is here. read more

This is the best takeout Chinese in the Franklin area. I always get hot food and a correct order. The family is nice and prompt with orders. I have never been disappointed in the 4 years that I have been ordering from here. Great job read more

I do not recommend this restaurant, the person that takes the orders for the food doesn't speak very clearly and assume that you know what he said. Had to have him repeatedly what he said. And the food was absolutely terrible. Ask for Vegetable Lo mein but still had meat bits in it, and the won ton soup was inedible. But I do have to say that the fortune cookie was good. read more

We tried the orange chicken and the General Tso chicken. Sorry, forgot to get pics! Both were good and came with white rice. My only issue is that I prefer my orange chicken without actual slices of orange rind because I find it too bitter and it also affects leftovers negatively IMO. Other than that we really liked it. We also tried the crab rangoon. I liked them, but bf thought they were a little sweet. Will definitely pick something else out sometime and try it again! read more

Excellent General Tso chicken. One of the better Chinese restaurants on the south-side. Had the fried dumplings that were just okay, and the crab ragoon is really good. read more

Frozen carrots Nd peas thrown in white rice with shrimp and goop. I could have done better at home, this was hard to swallow so if you want great Chinese food, stay away. You expect fresh carrots and peas, these were frozen still cold. I use those peas and carrots for my dogs dogfood. I cook those completely threw,for my poodle. Worst Chinese food in my life I wish I did not have delivered would have took to owner or manager. read more

Take out was ready in less than 15 minutes. Singapore Chow Mei Fun was some of the best I've had. As noted on the menu, it was very spicy - not too much curry and LOADS of shrimp, chicken and pork. Definitely recommended! read more

Forgot to take pictures of my food , it was so good ! This is a tiny little restaurant but is family owned and has great food. Very clean and fresh food. They are also very fast, a great place for takeout when you are a busy family. read more

Impressed with Covid-19 Precautions and the food was pretty decent in the portions when you pick up our huge

I ordered takeout yesterday. Order was ready when it was supposed to be but the food was terrible. This teriyaki sticks tasted like the meet was bad. Chicken sticks had no flavor. And the chicken fried rice tasted like it came out of a box and microwaved. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for a decent food. read more

In Franklin you only have two choices for Chinese takeout. My husband and I have been going here for over 13 years and it's one of our favorite places. Yes it is your typical Hole in the Wall Chinese Restaurant, by no means Gourmet, but we love their General Tso's chicken with steamed rice, I adore their steamed dumplings and the sauce is amazing. We also get their plain lo mein which are girls love and their shrimp fried rice. read more

Pretty good food, as I just moved to Franklin I was looking for a Chinese food place that would be a good go to when I don't feel like cooking and I think I found it! read more

I normally get mongolian chicken (not beef) and their chicken is very good and not chewy or weird like some places. The egg rolls are fantastic. I also sometimes get sweet and sour chicken with general Tso sauce instead of sweet and sour and their Tso sauce is VERY good also. Everyone is really nice here and they get your food out to you very quickly only takes like 5-15mins depending on how much you get or if your ordering with friends, I normally only have to wait 5 mins. read more

This is my go to place for Chinese Food! Just about tried everything on the menu between myself and my friends and we love it all. Once and only ONCE was my order wrong and they made it right immediately. We have been going here for years! The family is always very nice. read more

Read the reviews and thought to give this place a try..... Big mistake! Low quality and the food had no taste at all.

Been frequenting Long River for over five years, but after the past few meals, I'm sad to say that I will most likely not be doing so in the future. The quality of the food has declined rather noticeably--going from flavorful to bland. It's sad, because I really liked their food. read more

This is the best Chinese in Indiana and I lived in San Francisco and know all the types available. Family owned and operated using fresh organic foods the quality is top shelf. Anyone looking for Chinese in Franklin can't won't go wrong going to long river. On top of that their prices are very reasonable there quantities are gracious. Service is great restaurant is clean bathroom is clean a great place I'm proud to say they're here in Franklin. read more

I consider this one of the best Chinese restaurants around. They mainly cater to carry out but do have seating if that's what you like. I really like the Kung Pao chicken combo. They use FRESH produce that cooks up nice and firm, not mushy like other places. It's spicy and I like it that way. Always great food here! read more

Tried this place three times got food poisoning two of the three not worth the risk. Better food at lotus garden

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, they give good service the employees are also friendly and accommodating, the food is outstanding, and the portions are large enough that I can eat for two days on what I get for lunch. It's always made fresh to order. read more

Our favorite go to Chinese restaurant. The wonton soup is the most flavorful I've ever had.
