Reviews for Crownery Chinese Restaurant | Catering & Dim Sum in Hockessin, DE

I used to go there all the time, but the new menu prices are double what they should be.... Sesame Chicken $18? GENERAL chicken... $18? Specialty meals $28? No dine in?... But Super high prices??? I Wonder why the prices are so high compared to pre-pandemicprices... I Understand price hikes every where, but the appetizers are entre priced, and the Entres are 2x what is reasonablefor Chinese Take Out... Is Ridiculous. Ill go to a Real Dine in Restaurant.

It's your typical eatery for Chinese food. They're very friendly, quick, convenient, and the food is good. Keep in mind that as... of the date of this post, they are still not allowing dine in. Read more

I do-not recommend this restaurant. No dine-in available. Only take-out. No delivery service are available either. The food was... completely tasteless. Looks like the place has not been updated in more than 30+ years. It's very dark inside and poorly lit. Iexperienced an eerie feeling while placing my order. Something just didn't feel right. It kind of felt like the place was aboutto go out of business. I hope the owners have an opportunity to read this review and utilize the content to fix what'satrociously wrong here. Have a Blessed day.... Read more

Some of the worst food I've ever had, would rather eat roadkill that has been out in 100 degree heat then eat there ever again.

If you want authentic Chinese cooking here it is, the best or 1 of the best I seen In De? roast duck is great not to say there... Peking duck. And other dishes they have to offer incredible and Give it a try. Aloha! Read more

Ordered take-out on Christmas Eve and was told it would be 45 minutes. Got there 45 minutes later and found a restaurant full... of other people waiting for their take-out orders. I asked them where I was in the queue and was told that it would be another30 minutes. 45 minutes later, my order was finally ready. I figured that due to the holiday, I would overlook this. Got homeafter a 5-10 minute drive expecting everything to be hot. Shockingly, everything was either tepid or cold. I ordered GeneralTso's chicken, Fisherman's seafood szechuan style, roast pork lo mein, and crispy spare ribs with golden garlic. What a colossaldisappointment! The General Tso's chicken was utterly tasteless with no spice. It tasted like they hurriedly prepared it andforgot the general tso's seasonings entirely! The Fisherman's seafood szechuan style was only slightly better. At least this onehad a little bit of flavor, but again, no spice! What is szechuan style with no heat??? A bland mess. The roast pork lo meinwas also tasteless. Did they run out of seasoning on this very busy night? I find that hard to believe, but the food sure tastedlike it. Finally, the crispy spare ribs with golden garlic was a disaster too. They were ice cold and essentially pork ribschopped up into 1 inch pieces, fried to a greasy mess, then coated with what looked like panko crumbs that had a feint taste ofgarlic. They were very busy on this Christmas Eve, but that should not be at the expense of their customers. Standards arestandards, and on this night, the bar was very very low. I will not be back.

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 eatthere once indoor dining starts again). As for the food entrees have so far been far better than appetizers. I've orderedSzechuan and Hunan chicken and each time I've been satisfied with the quality and quantity for the cost. However the egg dropsoup 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 bagthey're in so be careful! Read more

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! Read more
