You can eat in, pick up, or order delivery. I have both had lunch at China Delight and ordered delivery many times. When I eat in the waitresses were always fast and friendly. The delivery drivers were also swift to deliver and friendly. Half their menu seems to be drinks - not a drinker but I assume it may be VERY busy at night. Not saying they lack choices - their menu is pretty large and they have lunch specials that are cheap and yet can be filling. Not so busy during the day so lots of seating. Even went there a couple of times during winter snows - nothing like hot Chinese food during a snowstorm. Pros - lots of choices, cheap, only charge you $1 for gas when they deliver, also give you napkins, a plate, and a plastic fork with the delivery food. Or at least they have with me. $12 min. for delivery. And you can order via phone or online. Cons - the place seems small and dark, which some people may not like. They only deliver within 3 miles (which is why they only charge you a buck for gas unlike those places that charge you $3).

Ordered General Tsos Shrimp & spring rolls for delivery. What arrived was the less-expensive General Tsos Chicken instead. I called to complain. The lady said I ordered General Tsos Delight which has both chicken and shrimp (the dish I got was just chicken), despite the fact that I had had her repeat my order back to me when I first made the order. Unconcerned, she put me on hold to take another order, and then returned to ask if I wanted them to change it. I said no. Id just as soon eat when Im hungry instead of waiting again. That said, its not quite the worst General Tsos whatever that Ive had, but its close. Redeeming quality: delivery was relatively fast. Wont be ordering again.

So, this is your typical fast food Chinese place, with one exception. The food is consistently awesome! For appetizers, the spring rolls are dynamite! Best Ive had from a similar place. Im also a huge fan of the shrimp toast, but it can be a little greasy. Dinners: My favorite is, by far, the Shanghai Shrimp. Its a big spicy with jalapeno slices, but man is it good. As a backup, cashew chicken and hunan shrimp are great. I always pay extra for more shrimp in the hunan dish, but I plan for leftovers.

The food is always delicious from China Delight in Arlington off King Street. Im a creature of habit so I always order shrimp fries rice with extra shrimp, General Tso chicken, fried chicken wings for my hubby, and noodles for my daughter. Live, live, live the food. I wish I could find a half way decent Chimes restaurant in College Station Texas. I digress. I even get a chance to practice Chinese whenever I visit. Awesome service and very delicious food. Shea Shea!

China Delight, used to be one of my favorite places to eat for the following reasons: 1. Great customer service 2. Food was on point (anything I tried) 3. Prices were reasonable. Now I no longer frequent the place for the following reasons: 1. Horrible customer service 2. Food quality poor. The reason for the dramatic change was the change of ownership. The previous owners were great. I used to recommend them to everyone, now I caution people from going there.

I purchased the shrimp fried rice to try out and it was nothing special. It was baby sized shrimp with bland flavored rice with no vegetables in the rice. I went on the few reviews here, but. I guess not everyone knows good Chinese food. I wish a good Chinese restaurant would open in this areas. So tired of flavorless tasting Chinese food in this area.

Poor coustmer service I was asked for the tip over the phone then I requested that they call me and not knock so that my dogs would not wake my daughter and he called me I answered and he still KNOCKED! Then thought I was gonna tip so he said called and knocked again. Never again will I order from here again. If I could give them a 0 I would.

I am very picky about Chinese food, having had very "iffy" cuisine in the past. But I love good Chinese food to a fault. I just moved to the area and was concerned it would take a while to find a good place. This was my 2nd try, and I wont go anywhere else! They are truly one of the best takeout places I have ever gone to!

Terrible service and food is cold and not that much. When i asked to replace a dish because it contains Female hair, waiter started to look closely and she didnt believe me. At the end She took it, heat it, and then bring it again. Absolutely, That wasnt the only problem. DONT go there if u want to eat !!!

Ive been living in Arlington for a few years now and havent found a Chinese restaurant that was actually good until tonight. I just order from China Delight...delivery was very quick, employees were nice and the food is delicious. I will be ordering from them again in the near future!

Decided to try this for the first time. Crispy Beef had no virtually no beef, only the crunchy part. Found piece of hair in the lo mein. General Taos was mushy, but it was free (after spending $50). Duck was OK though and liked that you can order online, but wont be going back.

So, if they forget something in your order they will "give you credit next time" instead of refunding or actually bringing you what they forgot. Not taking that chance and I dont recommend that anyone else does either. Not a company I will do business with in the future.

Terrible food quality. I ordered for my son general Tso chicken and it barley had broccoli in it. He almost got sick off of the texture of the chicken. I spent $21.00 on my order and his and had to throw his in the trash. Dont go there and you wont be disappointed.

I moved here in 1986, and China Delight has always had the best Kung Pao in the Washington area, hands down. The restaurant is quiet, the staff courteous and unobtrusive, the prices reasonable, the portions generous, and the food delicious.

I had a dinner there last week, both service and food quality is poor. The lady pretended that my credit card cannot go through, and asked me to pay in cash with 18% tip. With all these, they definitely cannot last long.

Won ton soup was a weak version of a broth with 3 slivers if onion in it. Not impressive. The shrimp lo mein was the weakest version of the dish I have ever had. Price is right food is mediocre at best

Ordered Pick up from them a few times and every time the food has been good. Always ready for pick up fast and very polite customer service up front. Would recommend them to anyone.

Pros: complimentary water and refills. The host/server would give adequate box to take home for left over. Bar. Cons: poor lighting, and didnt provide with extra napkins.

Ordered for delivery. Good enough food. About as expected. Their online ordering app is nice and I liked that they corrected a mistake in the order really quickly.
