| - I wanted to like this place, OH so much. I really did. I've been on the search for that perfect chinese place in the area for two years now. Foo Sing is awful, IMO. They were good when they were next to Best Buy, but their new location just isn't the same. So on the hunt we've gone. We really like Thai Spice on Center Ridge, albeit not really Chinese.
So we decided to get on Yelp and see what's good. We chose China Delight because it's very close to our house and had excellent reviews on Yelp.
Ordered over the phone, using a menu from Google. As of October 2015 the menu on Google is NOT the menu in the shop. Basically the woman told me they used to have a dining room and that menu was then correct, but since they've closed the dining area and swithed to only takeout they've made the menu much smaller.
The woman on the phone was incredibly nice. She made sure I knew where to find them, was very helpful. We ordered: Crab Rangoon, Wonton Soup, Eggroll, Sesame Chicken, and Hunan Triple Delight [not on the actual menu but on the Google menu.]
When I arrived to pick up it wasn't quite ready, no worries, that means it's fresh! It appeared we were the only order. Which was depressing because it was 7pm on a Saturday. The couple was SO nice. Just great people. They inquired about this being my first time, they were just so generous. Our food came in a great big box [that doesn't make me look like a fatty] and they gave us ample sauces and fortune cookies. You could tell they had pride in what they do and wanted us to love their food.
But we didn't. Oh i'm so sad. I judge a lot of chinese food based on the wonton soup. I'm on a never ending hunt for the best Wonton soup [Currently found at Taste of Orient on Ohio State's campus.] This wonton soup was odd. The broth was phenomenal, I loved it. But the noodles...they were noodles, they weren't dumplings. No meat filled. Maybe to cut costs. Still a very good soup, in my opinion, just not your normal wonton. I would order it again because it tasted great, but it just isn't what you would expect from Chinese takeout.
Crab Rangoons. Not good. Just...not good. No filling. basically just a wrapper with nothing on the inside. Came with a sauce. I understand skimping on the faux-crab, just fill it with the cheese. They really weren't worth eating. Came with 6. I think I ate two and couldn't bring myself to eat anymore.
Husband had eggroll. Said it was a very good eggroll. I think that was probably the highlight [seeing by some other reviews they agree they're good.]
Entrees. Standard chinese. Tasty, worth getting again. Both got fried rice. Not worth it. Dry, no veggies mixed in. I don't really like rice anyway though, to me it's filler food. So don't judge solely on this.
I feel terrible because the owners were just so delightful. It seems like maybe times are tough so they're skimping on quality/fillings. I can't believe they weren't more busy - they're the only chinese in the immediate area. Unless you count the [what looks like an awful] new chinese buffet down the street. I really wish success for them, and for their personalities alone we will probably come back.
