I gave them another chance because I remember how good their food used to be and what a great deal they were. I paid $22 for this!! $22!! It had a couple pieces of shrimp, zero lobster, possibly one and a half scallops sliced very thinly. It was mostly broccoli, tons and tons of broccoli! read more

Lychee Resto - $22 for a dish that claims to be a seafood dish, but it's really just broccoli, a few shrimp and very little else. - Chinese Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Teriyaki chicken appetizer is the best! My go-to all the time... they also do their own delivery, which speeds up the process :-)

We were so happy they were open on Christmas Day after lots of driving. They were fast and very friendly. The food was good... nothing crazy over the top but decent meal at a decent price. read more

We are new to the area and love Chinese food. After checking around, Lychee seems to be the only real "Chinese" restaurant. We've ordered from them 3 times so far and feel mostly favorable. The spicy eggplant is delicious. The lo mein is also great. Sweet and sour chicken very good. Eggrolls, ok. However, I draw the line with the fried rice, it's awful. It is flavorless with, I assume, a few drops of soy sauce and a small handful of "mixed tiny diced carrots and peas", you know, the kind in the frozen food aisle. There may be a couple small pieces of onion if you dig around for them. Honestly, I'd be embarrassed as a Chinese restaurant to serve this. Fried rice typically has nice size onion pieces, sliced scallions, a few pieces of egg, maybe a bit of cabbage, certainly a few pieces of roast pork, maybe a few mushroom slices, and it's sauted in oil. If this is what they call "fried rice", I can't imagine what their "plain" fried rice is? I think that's just called "rice". I will still eat here because it appears most of their menu is good, but I will stay away from their rice, which is a shame because I really enjoy good fried rice. read more

It would be nice to see the distribution of ratings! we ordered some food for pickup. a range. some was pretty good, some was pretty bad. Their range suggests that if you order what is good, it will be good, and if you order what they are bad at, it will bad. Their egg foo yong was pretty good, as so mushu. the general tsao was poor (but not dangerous), and so on. It will take a while to find what is good. they seemed polite and helpful. I will go back. I wish they would pick up their game. read more

Generally very good, but tonight's chicken fried rice was poor....no fried chicken but what appeared to be some kind of shredded chicken...perhaps canned. I won't order this again from Lychee. The generals tso chicken was great. read more

Ok people. I ordered sesame CHICKEN and plain lo mein from Lychee and this is what I get. THIS LOOKS LIKE THEY COOKED A WILD BEAST FROM THE JUNGLE LIKE A DAMN ALLIGATOR!!! I gave them the benefit of the doubt and started cutting open the rest of my Sesame Chicken but nope IT WAS STILL WILD ANIMAL FROM A DAMN JUNGLE!!!!! Is a chicken supposed to be pink? No. I will get sick from pink chicken. @lychee chef and other staff I hope you never serve this kind of insanely horrific disturbing chicken again. I hope u get a health inspection. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! Def not edible!! LOOK AT THE PIC OF THE WEIRD COLORED ALLIGATOR read more

Lychee Resto - CHECK MY POST!!! - Chinese Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

They try to pass off plain brown rice as fried rice here and the hot and sour soup is just hot corn syrup and tofu- nothing sour about it. We'll stick to Panda Express for Chinese takeout. read more

Note to self...dont get anything with shrimp.... its crap... Their best entrees are things with meat like beef/chicken. I ordered the hot and spicy shrimp and its just all sliced green bell pepers and onions and some tiny shrimp. Totally not worth it. Orange chicken is good. Fried bean curd with mixed vegetables is also good. read more

Lychee Resto - Hot and spicy shrimp. Do not get this.... Lol how tiny the shrimp is and the amount of shrimp... - Chinese Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

I was a little concerned because of the reviews but the food was good! It was flavorful and came with a good amount of food. The chow mein was tasty. The orange chicken was not spicy like I expected it to be but this was not a problem. The employees were nice too. read more

Jesus!!!! How come no one told me about their lunch combos are amazing? Last time ordered dinner and gave the restaurant 3 star. However on the other hand the restaurant's lunch menu is amazing. I have been few restaurants, that serve lunch cheaper but with low portion and quality. However not This Restaurant. read more

How have I never reviewed Lychee before??? This has been our go-to Chinese takeout restaurant since moving here six years ago. We tried it the first time because when we first moved here they were the only Chinese place delivering to Boalsburg, but we order once every two or three weeks now. The food always arrives quickly, although we do usually order on weekdays when it might be less busy. I have always loved their "golden nuggets", which is pretty much general Tso fried tofu, and recently they've added orange tofu and sesame tofu which area also really good. We usually also get their scallion pancakes; they aren't crispy but they're very flavorful! read more

I stopped in to get my hot and sour soup. I love the owner Sam and staff. The food and service are always top notch.!!!! Take care of your delivery drivers so they can keep taking caring of all of us.. Thank you Chris!! read more

Food was delicious, however I gave Lychee's three stars after finding a piece of black wire in my entree. I almost swallowed it too. Not good to have small pieces of wire in their food, especially if a child was to eat it . read more

Another Chinese restaurant in town? Yes, and I am happy about it... having more choices in this town is a good thing. In fact, this recent addition may be my go-to place for Chinese takeout. Beef Ho Fun was very good (see pic). Appears to have been designed for take-out and delivery, but there are about 3 tables and 3 window counter seats should one decide to dine-in. The interior is simple, bright and clean. We dined in and found the service extremely friendly. read more

Order delivery on a Thursday night from Lychee and it was the first time I had ever eaten from there. Had heard good reviews for the General Tsos chicken so I ordered the dinner combo with pork fried rice and a wonton soup Firstly, I have to say that I was really impressed with the delivery. From online order to my dorm it was only about 40 minutes, which aside from Uncle Chens 20 minute materialization, is light speed for Chinese delivery. Before I even opened the takeout box I knew everything was still hot which is a big issue of mine. Huge portion of generals that was accompanied by an equally large portion of rice. The rice wasn't special but the chicken was above average. Still crispy even with generous amounts of sauce, and had a satisfying spiciness that you expect from the "order extra spicy get extra mild" style if most places. A solid meal overall for the price. Wonton soup left something to be desired but other than that I would return. read more

Lychee Resto - General Tso's chicken with pork fried rice - Chinese Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

This place USED TO BE my favorite for Chinese takeout. Unfortunately, it's not my favorite any more! I've been a loyal customer since the place opened and the owner is very nice but over $20 for a dinner combo and one order of crab Rangoon is too much! The prices keep increasing and it's no longer affordable. They used have great deals and now it's just too expensive! Disappointing! read more

So, my experience was on any typical Tuesday evening, around 7:00 (order placed online) to delivery 7:35 (received at hotel). The food came exactly as ordered at an exceptionally fast speed. Everything came fresh and hot. The beef sticks had good flavor but we're a little on the skimpy side. Chicken and garlic was powerful, with each pice clinging onto thin, pepper slices to add some kick. The veggies were crisp, but featured way more than the chicken, and my liking. My biggest hangup with the experience was the fact that I ordered soup and wasn't given a spoon with my bag of utensils/sauces/etc. while a small oversight of at home, it certainly made eating soup from a work station in a hotel room challenging. Overall, I'd probably order again, but select a different entree and be specific when ordering. read more

I really liked my whole taken out experience! I read through a bunch of reviews and looked at pictures before coming here, and I think they have really improved on some things that people may have had bad experiences with. I got the szechuan shrimp and it was delicious! The shrimp were big, tender, and delicious. All of the veggies tasted fresh and varied well (they didn't just throw a couple of peppers in and call it "mixed vegetables"). I asked for light on the sauce but it still seemed like a lot- not a big deal but if you don't like a lot of sauce maybe ask for it light or on the side. The whole order only took about 15 minutes to get which is super nice and fast. I recommend and I will definetely be coming back! read more

This establishment has time and time again been the staple of my super hunger killer. Yhe amount of delicious and incredible food they give you is more then generous. The staff is friendly and so fast with making orders. Im able to make one meal last for two because they're so giving with their portions. Always love getting their food after a long hike. Highly recommend this place! read more

Fried rice was just brown rice. Moo shu chicken is a lot of cabbage but little chicken. Won't be back.

YUM! Didn't have anything for dinner at work so decided to order from my favorite place! Every delivery driver is super nice! Everything arrived super hot. I love there general tos because it's good meat and not all breading. All this food for only $28!! This will be our lunch and dinner tomorrow too! I love this place read more

Last order was terrific. They have increased their prices some but not as much as other Chinese restaurants in town. Super nice people and no problems with incorrect orders. It was always good but is even better now. A well run place. read more

I've ordered about 5 times from here, and I've never had anything to complain about. The food tastes how I hope Chinese takeout to be, they have always gotten my order right, and they haven't skimped on anything. It's become my family's go-to Chinese takeout place. read more

The food is delicious! Unfortunately where it falls short is the delivery. Most of the drivers will deliver it to my door. I always opt for contact-less but there is one driver that REFUSES to even come into the building at all. And it will be their downfall. He is rude and always has an attitude. It is definitely a hinder when ordering. Their food is really good. But the workers don't make it worth it. read more

Today, I'm sad to report, this just was a fail... Took over an hour and a half to deliver, delivery guy called me from the parking lot and said "come get it"! We ordered 4 lunch specials, the one packed on top was turned sideways and all the sauce was spilled all over everything in the bag. It was a colossal MESS! Super unhappy! read more

Lychee Resto - "Fried Rice" - Chinese Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Very disappointed in the service. We ordered online 90 minutes ahead of the time we wanted to pickup. When I showed up to pick up order and bring it home, where we had company waiting, not only wasn't the order ready but the restaurant was clearly overwhelmed. This was not on a holiday or special event day or even on a weekend. It was difficult to even get to speak to someone about the status as they were constantly on the telephone or in the kitchen. Finally, I was told simply that it wasn't ready yet. Meanwhile, other orders were coming out and being picked up or delivered. Several of these people didn't wait at all. Finally received order after waiting a full 40 minutes past arriving at the time that I had requested. When I give 90 minutes lead time before pickup I expect it to be ready, not to wait 40 minutes. Unacceptable. read more

Excellent for Chinese takeout if you're in the mood. Great flavors, food is hot which makes it amazing. Lo Mein is delicious, noodles perfectly cooked (al dente). Additionally, its proportionally ratio chicken:noodle. Veggies are fresh (not sure if the mushrooms are; but I don't care for mushrooms so I won't deduct any stars to Lychee.) The serving portion are perfect. I recommend sweet and sour chicken, chicken lo mein, and egg rolls. read more

Friendly service and super quick. Good food and large potions. We have liked all that we have tried. Not fancy but decent. Give them a try.

Not super consistent. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. Last time I went my chicken & broccoli wasn't even fully cooked. The sauce was congealed and the chicken looked white... read more

Ok. Going to keep this short and sweet. And try not to be too hurtful. Tried some take out here on 6-4-15. This place was recommended to me by loving sister. And that's the nicest thing I can say. They have sweet and sour pork that had no pork taste. Typical hot pink sweet and sour sauce you get at any Americanized Chinese place. The fried rice was of an unnatural yellow color and was just there. The General chicken was edible and actually had some spice. The Lo Mein was the highlight because it was over seasoned with soy sauce so it had actual flavor. It's cheap Americanized fare. If you want better look else where. read more

Ordered at 640PM and was told our estimated time for delivery was 740. Called at 8PM and we were told our order was on its way. Then they called back at 810PM and said our order got mistakenly delivered to another house. Usually good service, but I don't think that we will use Lychee again with all of the other options in town. read more

This is five stars for price vs. quality ratio. Lychee Resto is not gourmet Chinese food, but it's really tasty, lots of variety on the menu, really fast and very affordable (student-friendly prices). Don't be fooled, when we first moved to State College we thought it must be a bad place to eat because there were never any people inside and few cars ever parked there. Probably 95% of their customers get take-out or delivery and they have many loyal customers, including our family now. We always choose take-out and live nearby. The food is always hot, fresh and ready when we get there 10 minutes later. They have all the typical Americanized Chinese fare, cooked well (non-vegetarians should get combos with the pork fried rice, mmmm!) such as Orange Chicken, crispy with just the perfect amount of tasty sauce. For those more adventurous, they have really tasty soups and some noodle dishes you may not have tried before. I am in LOVE with the Singapore Mei Fun. It's spicy thin fried rice noodles with veggies and chicken, bbq'd pork and shrimp in a fairly dry, sortof curry spice mix. I also love the rice cake dishes. These are nickel-sized rice disks (think pasta-ish) cooked with the veggies or meat of your choice in a light sauce. The texture and flavor of the rice cake dishes is unique and satisfying. We're still working our way through the extensive menu at Lychee Resto, but we try something new almost every time and we have yet to find an item that is not cooked with care and effort that's delicious. This place is home to food with many unique flavors and great value for the price. read more

The golden cups are insanely good, the dumplings are the best in town by farrrrrrr. Everyone is really nice and this place is super affordable read more

Nothing wrong here. Solid chinese place. Usually our go to and had pretty quick service and delivery times. Been here countless times.

We ordered for delivery on Lionmenus on probably their busiest/snowiest night of the year (over 40 min wait). We got the wrong order when delivered and had to call back to get the right order. They were happy to oblige, but after 40 minutes of waiting, no replacement, we called back and found that they were also confused as to why we hadn't gotten our food ("Our drivers have been out with the food for awhile now"). Found out later, when the owner came with our food, that their drivers had gotten in accidents due to the snow. We were very impressed with their commitment to their customers. He offered us a discount on our next order and we got to keep the other food. We will order from Lychee again, good prices, good quantity of food, highly spiced (a little salty in some of the more classic americanized chinese food dishes, but overall satisfying). Can't wait to try the noodle dishes. I've only seen their location from the road. I would suggest, however, that they repaint the interior of their location. The green is such a strong color, it's almost like a neon sign from the road. read more

My order was good, very tasty well spiced and not oily. I'll order from them again. read more

Lychee Resto - Beef w. Broccoli in garlic sauce...pork fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

It's hard to find good dinner options in State College when your dinner time is 11pm on a weeknight. I really wanted MyThai, but they were closed. I detest Americanized chinese food, but stopped in to take a peek at the menu. I was impressed by the cleanliness and their willingness to make me anything I wanted. But, I guess that's the way you have to be when you are a new business in a small town and the way it should be really, always. If they were not willing to work with me, then they wouldn't have gotten my business. I opted for the chicken and potato curry. Unfortunately, no coconut milk was used, but they added every fresh veggie they had because I like vegetables. It wasn't great curry by any means npartially because I could not identify what kind of curry it was. It reminded me of an uninspired indian curry powder with chinese vegetables and pepper. The portion of curry was large and so was the heaping side of white rice. I hate huge portions of white rice because I don't like white rice. I'd rather have a single serving of a higher quality or more fragrant rice. They gave me the wrong rice at that, (i wanted pork fried) but that could be because I changed my mind after the fact and it got lost in translation. The general tso's chicken was good. Small pieces, but very meat heavy in proportion to breading. Very Sweet. Very processed tasting. But that is general tso's chicken. The crab rangoons were the worst I've had in state college. Incredibly thick breading and fried so lightly they looked sickening. The wonton soup was also like cheap flavored wonton soup packets were used. I question that they make it fresh. Also, I noticed there were no little shreds of pork so for people that do not eat ham, this may be a good thing. I actually could not believe how hot the food was by the time I got it home on this freezing night. If I hadn't watched them make it, i'd have suspected foul play (microwave). read more
