Chinese Delight

Chinese Delight used to be our go to Chinese restaurant in the HOWELL area. We loved their food, and the owners. Unfortunately, for some reason, in our family’s opinion, their food has gone down hill.
The last couple of times that we ordered from there, things didn’t seem as great as they had in the past, so we have been going to a different chinese restaurant when we’ve gone. We thought we’d give it another try recently, and unfortunately, we were disappointed.
We ordered almond chicken, and the sauce was disgusting. It had separated by the time we got home, and had way too much oil in it. I tried stirring it back together, but it just tasted oily. We also ordered sweet and sour chicken. The chicken itself tasted ok, but overall was pretty bland and just not that great. The egg rolls there used to be the best around, and I don’t know what was wrong with them, but they tasted gross. Almost like there was bad cabbage in them, or old oil used, or something. We didn’t eat them, they tasted so strange. The won ton soup, which again, used to be the best, was salty and the meat in the wontons tasted weird.
The owners are still great, but I’m sad to say, we won’t be going back again.

Yeck! Szechuan chicken and vegetables. For starters this place uses that weird Chinese meat. If you frequent a lot of Chinese places you’ll know what I mean. Thai has ‘real meat’ but they were closed. Delights menu looked nice etc. Anyways, vegetables to me includes, broccoli, baby corn, pea pods etc. They only give you five slices of zucchini and the rest is bamboo shoots. SO disappointed. I also got potstickers. Heavy, thick breading, over fried, chewy, barely any center vegetables or meat. Skip it.

I loved their food! Had a vermicelli seafood dish that was seasoned with curry. it was awesome! I love the thin noodles and the seafood was nice and fresh… mmmm!!!

We have been searching for a good Chinese restaurant in Howell and have yet to find one. We ordered sweat and sour chicken which was dry and very bland, wasn’t good at all. General Taos was ok the egg rolls were hard and taste like they were old. We will not be going back.

This is, HANDS DOWN, the worst restaurant we have ever been to. The woman who I would assume is the owner, was cooking, serving, screaming at a male child in there whom she expected to be doing most of the work. The food was completely disgusting, to the point of being in edible. Our entire order was wrong and when we mentioned that she became very rude, to the point of basically throwing my son’s dish in front of him.
Steer clear if this place!

Chinese Delight is the best chinese around. I always stop when I’m passing through Howell. It is a family run place that is very good at accomodating large groups. Try the flaming poo poo platter and honey walnut shrimp as an app. and get the chinese fish or lo mein for dinner.
Things here are authentic and well made, not greasy with overpowering sauces. They also have a seasonal menu with many options featuring what is available locally and in season (right now is asparagus!)
They have a selection of Japanese beer which is fun and festive.
