Uncle Ou’s

Dear Uncle Ou,
If I could give you zero stars I would. For this reason I advise you for future reference not to offer a service you can not provide. Also maybe you need some insight in the restaurant service… Like providing food! We placed an order online, after an hour of not receiving we called to inquire. We were told «the driver is on their way.» After another hour we called again and were told «you must have called the wrong number, we don’t have it. So sorry bye bye» Notice to hungry people, if you want food, don’t order here!

Well, we have tried a most every Chinese place in town and they all have been subpar… After reading the reviews here we thought we would give it a try… This place is no exception… It was not good…
The Bad: The Kung Pao lacked favor and was full of watercress… Frankly, it was terrible… The fried rice was greasy and we ordered the shrimp fried rice which had a funny taste… The eggs rolls were greasy and tastes like the oil needed to be changed…
The Good: the online ordering and delivery were a huge bonus… The rice noodles were ok but I needed more spicy so order spicy if you want this… The General Taos was good and had generous portions of Chicken…
The spare ribs and donuts saved this meal and were very good!
We will probably not eat there again…

Had the Hunan Chicken, steamed dumplings and egg drop soup. All three were quite tasty and abundant. Pricing is fair; delivery was quick and the delivery man was friendly. Found my local go-​to for Chinese delivery.

Here’s what we had and the grade I’m assigning to each of the dishes:
Spicy tofu: 1 star. It’s actually more sweet than spicy.
Spicy garlic pork: 4 stars. The sweet & spice were just about perfect.
Fried rice: 2 stars. It’s a bit bland.
Rice noodles (chicken): 4 stars. It’s really pretty awesome. Note that the rice noodles are stir fried (dry).
Seasonal vegetable: 3 stars. Fresh, but they used a bit too much oil for the stir fry.
Giving it 4 stars for the value and speed at which the food was freshly prepared.

This is by far my favorite Chinese delivery in the area. Reasonably priced and amazing food. You can order online and it’s delivered really fast.

Searched to see who in Essex would deliver Chinese food. It’s been a long time since we had Chinese delivered. Most places around us are carry out only. And the few places in Essex that sell and deliver Asian, are sketchy. I have heard people talk of this place and how good it was. I found their menu online and was able to also order online. Food took about an hour, but since I’m in Essex and they are in middle river, I can’t complain. Food was hot and fresh. Tasted good and was packaged with napkins and soy sauce. Just wish they included plastic forks as well. Very satisfied. Will return.

Pretty good food. Fresh vegetables. Rice is a little undercooked sometimes and too sweet. Always have a good experience except for one particular night. We ordered delivery. We didn’t get what we ordered and when we phoned back, the guy on the phone was rude and asked us why we couldn’t just eat what they gave us.

Not bad. I ordered the hot ‘n’ sour soup, steamed dumplings and chicken & brocolli. The hot ‘n’ sour soup is very good with more spice than most. One of the better such soups I’ve had. The dumplings were good as well. Unfortunately, the entrée did not live up to the appetizers. The chicken was tender, although overall I was disappointed with this dish. The broccoli in it was undercooked, and the dish came with a curious lack of sauce. This place is geared for delivery and take-​out only with only one table in the whole place.

Stopped in with friends. We all ordered the same thing really. Chicken.
Food was top notch/​hot and large amount of food for the price. Only downfall is a CAN of soda is $ 1. That’s MAJOR markup.
Other then that. This place rocks…

I just moved to Middle River and it seemed like this was the only Chinese place that would deliver so I gave it a shot. I ordered the shrimp shu mai and shrimp with broccoli. The food was delivered about 45 mins after I ordered by a potentially questionable individual who seemed to be hired randomly off the street to deliver food… it was a little sketchy but everything seemed fine so whatever, I guess! As far as the food itself, I was actually pleasantly surprised. The shu mai was good. I was happy with the amount of shrimp included in the broccoli dish. It was more food than I expected and it was actually pretty flavorful compared to most I’ve had in the past. It was enough for me to eat for three meals (I don’t eat a lot necessarily but I don’t skimp on food either!). I will definitely order from this place again!

ordered from the place after having a craving and then reading all the reviews. oh my gosh everything was amazing. Defintely ording again. the veggies was fresh and we got alot of food for $ 25 and free donuts

We LOVE Uncle Ou’s! It’s the best chinese we’ve ever had. When my daughter was first born we lived right around the corner, and you know how cooking goes with a newborn… we ordered here every single night. The food was always prepared quickly, always hot, portion size is great and the rangoons… oh the RANGOONS! They’re so good! My husband just said that he’s going to stop and bring some home for dinner tomorrow.
We moved downtown and there just isn’t a good chinese food place down here that’s decently priced. I miss Uncle Ou’s!

So far, the best Chinese in MIddle River. Easy to find a greasy dive, butt they use fresh veggies in their meals that aren’t overly wilted when you eat them. Even nice fat mushrooms in the lo mein.
They gave us complimentary sugar buns with our meal. Very filling, and a nice touch when I asked if they could make the lo mein spicy. Not too heavily handed with the peppers, just enough to give it bite.
My husband really enjoyed his General Tso’s. This will end up being our go-​to place for Chinese delivery going forward.
I’m trying to get the price to change to $ instead of $$$, because we ordered a ton of food and didn’t even pay $ 25 for it all. I’m going to have leftovers for at least 2 more meals. Delivery was quick and the order was accurate.

Really nice people, but OMG the greasiness! I used to eat there a lot before the fire, and it was much better then. Tonight I got Beef Lo Mein and it had like NO Lo Mein noodles in it. I mean, like none. And it was all watery and sloppy as all hell. I really like these folks, but they better start using a better grade of frying oil and CHANGING IT regularly. Egg roll was OK, but again, kinda greasy. Steamed dumplings are large and excellent though!

They are very busy today like weekend, because after the snow storm people want some hot food !
I know it will be busy tonight, that is why I call in the order first! thanks for the good service, I will be back !

Our favorite Chinese carry out! Fast and friendly! Huge menu. Above all, everything tastes great!

Great family dinner. The food was prepared to our liking. Fast service and good prices.

Great Chinese food.

Nicest people in the world, been eating here for about 5 years now. They remember me even after not seeing me for months and having shaved my beard completely off, even making a joke about me not having facial hair.
Lots of food for a great price from great people, I really can’t ask for anything more. Highly recommended!

Good for everyday Chinese cravings, the prices are really great considering the amount of food you get and the staff is friendly and helpful.
