Finally they updated their menu! We ordered pickled cabbage fish, chilly chicken with pepper and spicy beef. All tasted good!

CS4. Fish Fillet with Sour Cabbage
Han W.

Nice casual Chinese restaurant that seems to generate a lot of takeout business, but dine-in was pretty good (hot tea and good rice included). Seems to capture the authentic flavors that folks like my parents look for. Salt and pepper pork chops and beef scallion pancakes were great. Pancakes were crispy on the outside with the perfect amount of filling inside. Pork chops came in a large serving and tasted great. Would order again but am interested in ordering similar dishes too. I'm neutral on the fish filet with preserved cabbage and the beef chow fun. The fish dish definitely conveyed the taste of preserved cabbage but the fish was a little too salty. The beef chow fun tasted just okay.

Pork with bamboo shoot

My wife and I ordered some take out from them and it was so so. So we went back to try them dining in. Food was definitely better eating there. I ordered the squid with salty cabbage. My wife ordered the spicy fish filet. Both lunch specials. Came with soup and white rice on the side. My hot and sour soup was blend, a bit much on the sesame oil. My wife's wonton soup is alo on the blend side. The main dishes tasted good, a bit on the heavy side to us but that's Sichuan style cooking. The service was good. The place reminded me of typical old style Chinese restaurants. Update: 11/18: Went back today for lunch again. My wife ordered the twice cooked fish and I ordered the beef chow fun. My wife's dish was good but the beef in my dish was not very fresh. I told them and they handled it well. In exchange, I ordered the shredded port with bamboo straps. That was delicious. We'll be back.

Dry pot wild mountain mushrooms

I think I have a new favorite Chinese restaurant and it's Mom's Kitchen. I'm a stickler for authenticity in cuisines. I understand that restaurants have to scale back on some ingredients to make it more palatable to the American diners. One look at the specialty menu will tell you this restaurant is willing to cater to those who value the flavors and culture represented. I ordered dry pot wild mountain mushrooms and was quite pleased. A generous serving of 4 different mushrooms, pork belly in a spicy sauce came to the table in a metal bowl over a sterno flame. It contained lots of slices of King mushroom which I don't recall having before. They were meaty and almost crunchy. It had a generous amount of dried chili peppers BUT the Szechuan peppercorns were almost nonexistent. I may have seen 3. A very enjoyable discussion ensued with the Chinese owner about these peppercorns. She even brought out a huge bag of the dried chili peppers. I said the peppercorns make a tingling on your tongue which she didn't understand. But eventually we had a laugh when she looked it up and came up with "numb tongue". Now we understood each other and she said next time she would add more for me. She explained that most customers don't want it. My friend had an eggplant and string bean dish which was very tasty and a generous serving. Mom's is about 30 minutes from my home but I'll be back. It's definitely worth the drive. Give it a try ...if you dare. Oh, it's not a particularly attractive restaurant by any means but that doesn't bother me. It was even nice to see someone making homemade dumplings at one of the tables.

B1. Taiwan Style Pan Fried Dumplings
Emily M.

A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. There's a reason this place has raving reviews and I always trust yelp to help me pick take out. I'm glad we tried this place. It looks like any other chinese shop but man this place is right out of china town in philly. Very authentic chinese unlike the 15 panda express around here. We ordered chicken and broccoli, Taiwan Style Pan Fried Dumplings, and Singapore Vermicelli Stir Fried. The dumplings were great and we love the seasoned soy sauce that comes with it. My chicken with broccoli was very fresh! I did not try the Stir Fried rice noodles but my boyfriend said it was quite spicy and he liked it. Definitely will be ordering again and if you're considering this place I say do it. If you go to their website you can place an order online, or call and order the old fashion way :)

Spicy fish fillet
Julie K.

I am glad that I found an authentic Chinese restaurant with good price! We tried lunch special menu, spicy fish fillet and shrimp with garlic sauce. Both are a little spicy if you can't handle Chinese spice. Complimentary wanton soup and egg drop soup were good as well. Definitely will try more dishes here!

Pan Fried Tofu
Dan C.

Probably the best REAL Chinese food on the East Coast, prices are reasonable. Definitely a must eat in town.

Fried dumplings
Lana S.

I wanted to try this place out for a while now and so glad I did! I got the braised beef noodle soup and then an order of the fried dumplings. I thought the dumplings pretty pricey for what they were. There are 12 pieces of pretty small dumplings. I also did not like the sauce that came with it (made with more vinegar than soy sauce it seems like). Regardless of appearances the dumplings did have good flavors though ! The beef noodle soup you get a lot for 10$ a huge tub of noodles, beef/veggies and broth. The broth taste pretty good, noodles we're a good consistently and the beef was very tender which is absolutely delicious ! Love the soup and how much you get. I would return and try something else :)

I bought and sold with a hammer, and there was hair in the water. I can't imagine what the kitchen staff are doing. Now I think about it, I want to vomit. I will never go to their house for dinner in this life.

Lo mein and rascal named Nolan
Lisa L.

Ok it's not what I am accustomed to. Since I grew up eating my way through Philly's Chinatown. But it's the most authentic place I've found in Delaware so I have to give it more than 3 stars. The service was very fast and they were quite accommodating since we brought our two little rascals out to eat. They also had a fridge full of imported drinks. There is a little language barrier but it's still great customer service.

Waffle with chicken and bacon ( was also excellent)

See all

Pretty authentic food. Of course you can get Americanized food but why would you!? Love the sour fish and spicy fish.
