Good food and service!

Really good. I was pleasantly surprised.

Great food and good service... Worth checking out if u are in the area

Staff was friendly, courteous, and prompt. Plenty of options for meat eaters!!!

Mark it on your calendars: the Chinese New Year buffet every February at the Crownery. They only have it once a year and it is not to be missed! It is a wonderful opportunity to sample just about everything on their menu. Although all the menu items are delicious, there are a few standouts; the general chicken, sesame chicken, and scallops in brown sauce. Also, the egg rolls are the best in the state. Never greasy. This Chinese restaurant is not like the typical Chinese restaurant you find at the corner of every strip mall. The food is carefully prepared, efficiently served, and never disappoints.

My favorite place to go for Chinese!!!

My biggest issue with the Crownery has always been deciding what to order since everything they serve has been delicious! Problem solved with their Chinese new year celebratory all you can eat buffet! Reservations recommended and wear your stretchy pants! Check their website for details.

Since I travel extensively, and get my fair of Chinese, this place is nowhere near the upper side of my list. The noodles were lousy, tasted like plastic they were wrapped in. The rest of the food was mediocre at best. Had heard good things about them, but that definitely isn't the case today.

I've been to many good Chinese restaurants in New York and visiting family in Delaware for Thanksgiving holiday. Family suggested to go to Crownery Chinese restaurant Saturday night, I was hesitant since New York has some of the best Chinese food. To my surprise, this restaurant was phenomenal! We had Peking Duck, Shrimp/Scallop/Squid salt & pepper style (most of my Chinese friends order this in NY, sometimes squid only), Lobster with Ginger & Scallion, Orange Beef and General Chicken. They were all very tasty! I can't wait to come back for another family gathering and try other dishes.

Food is best around but was closed for sanitary reasons in 2019, so I always have this nagging worry...

Worst BBQ Asian ribs I've ever eaten. Horribly over cooked with a sauce that tasted like they bought it at the acme next door. The eggs rolls were so tough it was difficult to bite through them. Will NEVER go back.

First time ordering from there. I ordered the General Chicken extra spicy, it was basically chicken nuggets with mild sauce laying in the bottom of the container. Very bland. The other two entrees were Triple delight and Ginger chicken with bean sauce. My wife and I basically thought they were all very bland. For a $53 order and asking for extra spicy, there was no extra spicy. Disappointed. We wanted to try a diff place than the quick takeout places. Sadly that will be the last time ordering from there.

Have always gotten a good meal, and service has been good also

Great food!! I love the beans!! They are sooooo good!! Everything at the Crownery is great! Very oily but very delicious! It is a twist of Chinese and American :) Definitely should visit some time!!

Food was good large selections. Service was very nice. Beverages were okay. I would definitely go back for the food.

Great food, service too

Really liked their crispy whole fish.

As a loyal customer for years and years I feel mad and betrayed that my family’s food was being prepared next to cockroaches, mice, and maggots. They know my toddler son and obviously have no regard for their customer’s safety. Will never go back.

The food is absolutley delicious. The service there is always very good.

Nice place good food.

Wonderful selection, service and food.

Hands down the BEST Chinese food in all of Delaware! There is no wonder as to why they win the "Best in Delaware" award every year. Once you eat here you won't want to go to any other Chinese restaurant. The best quality of chicken is used in their dishes, no "rubbery" chicken here - amazing all around! I have never been disappointed in anything that I have ordered from them and we have been there a lot! A +

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Delaware. The food is always delicious and made fresh. If something is not right they owner will be happy to do whatever to make it correct. The fried rice comes served brown. Try different things on their menu, you will be pleasantly surprised how good the food tastes.

I really want to like the Crownery. It's close to home, the people are nice and the orders are ready 10 minutes after you call. However, the food is bland. I ask for EXTRA spicy to try to get some flavor. Most of the beef and chicken dishes are tasteless and I've had many, many menu items. The Vietnamese Beef is good but is's $20 for takeout. Delaware has a lack of good Chinese takeout places.

Food was delicious! Not your typical take out dishes. Nice atmosphere too.

Wonderful Chinese food. Fresh and authentic.

Was not there due to mouse droppings!

This is the best Chinese restaurant I've been to. Food is top-notch, service is friendly and fast, and a great value-for-money. If you live in Delaware, going to any other Chinese restaurant is a mistake.Edit: After this restaurant failed a health inspection (due to roaches, maggots, mice, etc) I felt betrayed and disgusted as a loyal customer for almost a decade. Even if they resolve this issue I still refuse to eat at this establishment ever again.

We had great food and service at the Crownery. We brought another couple with us, they too enjoyed their meals. The quanity of food is amazing for the price. If you like Chinese food this is the place to go!

Very cheerful waiter. Lot of choices on the menu. Great quantity each order. We went on a Tuesday night and we were the only customers.. maybe it's busy on weekends!

Order food online but when i got there it was $10 difference in price. They told me it wasnt their menu that i ordered from so i went and pulled out my phone to show them. Instead of honoring the prices on line they wanted to act like i didn't know what i was talking about. To top it off the food is DISGUSTING. I ordered Malaysia rice and chicken wings. The wings was cooked in old grease because they was a light brown in texture and color and the rice was BURNT! I will NEVER eat there or recommend this place to ANYONE. My dog food tastes better then this. $28 down the drain

Ordered carryout from here a couple of times recently. Can't believe I hadn't found this place sooner. The staff have been incredibly friendly each time I've been in and the interior dining room looks great (can't wait to actually be able to come eat there once indoor dining starts again). As for the food entrees have so far been far better than appetizers. I've ordered Szechuan and Hunan chicken and each time I've been satisfied with the quality and quantity for the cost. However the egg drop soup and steamed dumplings were both letdowns that ended up mostly untouched.Will definitely continue to come here thought, its good. Word of warning, the takeout containers have been filled to the brim each time to the point of leaking into the bag they're in so be careful!

Would give this restaurant zero stars if there was an option to . Worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life!! Was not expecting it to be this horrible. Chicken and Broccoli was slimey, in this like mysterious white sauce . Fried dumplings were absolutely disgusting , inside was swishy & undercooked . PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE , YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED . take your money to Five Guys or ACME

Come here when I need a break from cooking and it suits my family and I's tastes

Food tastes good but came like warm and packed spices as was asked for. Service was bruisingly abrubt.

Best Chinese food nearby. Authentic.

Honestly not sure how this place is still in business. The food tastes awful and is an embarrassment to Chinese food everywhere. The entire restaurant honestly just has a air of dinginess, like it hasn’t been cleaned in years.

Thai Salmon! Absolutely fantastic!

This restaurant has been a staple of the Hockessin area far longer than I can remember. It has the best Asian food I've ever had on this side of the Pacific and has a nice, cheery atmosphere with a welcoming staff. Long may it serve.

Wow you want to talk about cold service, this place is run by orientals and for how they treated the American customers I don't think they like us very much. Also it seemed their food tastes the same, no matter what you order it all tastes the same. And for Pete's sake don't complain about anything, oh my God they look like they're going to pull a cloak and dagger on you and kill you it's terrible it was a very bad experience all three times I Won't Go Back

Soo damn good

This is the best Chinese food in the region. The food is always good, the portions large, and the service excellent. I've eaten there numerous times and have never been disappointed.

Had a good experience in this place with my daughter. The food comes out quick and the customer service is just great. Prices are affordable.

I told my friends about this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the food there is fantastic and the stuff is generous and cooperative. Every time we eat in this place we have a gorgeous time. warmly recommended.
