Chinatown Cafe

If you’re looking for the best wonton soup ever, I highly recommend this place. The service was prompt and appropriately friendly and everything we had was fresh and delicious. I give it a thumbs-​up.

Be warned Cary has sold the restaurant and retired… we waited 10 minutes for service. One waitress, the new owners daughter, poor thing on a busy Friday night. The mother kept telling everyone that asked for Cary that he was away, I guess they were afraid people would walk out.
The daughter told us they kept the cook, the food was still great. Let’s hope nothing else changes. Really be honest with people when they don’t see Lucy the waitress and Cary the owner that has been there for years you cannot lie and say he is away… that is why I only gave this 4 stars.

The restaurant got a new owner in December. We’re going to miss Cary, not sure if the food will be the same

Have been going here for a few years and it’s been better by half as much more than at our last visit.
The customer service is O.K.; sometimes friendlier than others. Prices are now high versus the quality and freshness of the meal.
The wonton soup is good. The noodles are thin, Cantonese style, with generous filling. There are no char siu pork strips.
The steamed pork dumplings weren’t special, but were edible.
The cashew shrimp was just a plate of veg in sauce with so-​so looking and tasting shrimp on the bottom and a fistful of cashews sprinkled over the top. It seems they knew the shrimp weren’t nice since they were hidden. The snow peas were cut into half inch pieces, maybe to save on quantity? Way too many water chestnuts, as well. Sadly unimpressive.
The «General’s Chicken» was tough (needed a steak knife!), although the sauce was O.K. The whole dish featured only 3 pieces of broccoli. Also, it wasn’t spicy at all.
The Kung Pao Chicken was not spicy either, and it didn’t have peanuts!?! It did have tons of cost-​saving water chestnuts, though.
Don’t think we’ll be back for the holidays next year. Too bad.

I took my family because some guys at work couldn’t stop talking about the food. I have two young children and the throughly enjoyed the food. Not always an easy task. My daughter had shrimp lo main and there were a ton of shrimp. Many places give you a lot of noodle but skimp on the shrimp. Not here. My son had an order of dumplings (½ steamed — ½ fried). He preferred the steamed but are both. I wanted the worlds best lobster but you need to order it in advance so as it can be fresh. I wasn’t told that by my coworkers. A great night.

Excellent chef, reasonably priced, gourmet Chinese cooking. Thank you for coming to Langhorne!

Best food in town. Everyone who works here is great! If its not on the menue they will make it for you. Changes are no problem. Room is not terribly big. Seating for 32 and sometimes its very busy. Owner use to be in Center City. So glad they moved here. Take out is great if they are too busy. Hidden gem. Good for lunch too.

This place was awesome. My boyfriend and I were craving Peking duck and we were so happy to find a local restaurant selling it in bucks County. We always would drive to Philly when we had the hankering. Their duck meal is also delicious and very generous. It came with some very delicious soup and fried rice. More food than we could finish, which made a great late night snack later than night. My only suggestion is they serve steamed bun with the duck instead of the pancake. Steamed bun just wraps everything up so nicely and makes for a better flavor combination than wraps do.

We stopped by for lunch based on Urbanspoon reviews. The place is a bit small but comfortable. Lunch specials had good variety and reasonably priced. I enjoyed my pork and duck over baby bok choy which was amply sized. The highlight of my meal however, was the hot and sour soup which was nice and spicy. Service was ok, quick enough for business lunch. Will definitely be back. As of now, the best Chinese food in the NE, lower Bucks area.

Went here for lunch both wonton and hot&sour soup were very good. I also had the Singapore rice noodles delicious. Will definitely go here again.

Reheated! You know when you cook chicken, and you eat it 3 days later and it gets that funky flavor? That’s what my chicken tasted like! Also the chicken had a boiled consistency. Terrible.
Ordered the chicken in garlic sauce, and a small hot and sour soup, $ 14.50. The garlic sauce tasted like sweet, cheap teriyaki sauce from Giant. The hot and sour soup tasted like pure vinegar.
Just bad. Too bad, because it’s really close to home. But terrible. Do not reheat your old boiled chicken!

Situated at the opposite end of strip stores from a CVS, there is easy access and good parking. When the Chinese restaurant closest to me, sent white rice mixed in soy sauce and charged for brown rice I was done. Chinatown Café is owned by Cary who left the craziness of Philly’s Chinatown but brought the menu along. You are greeted warmly and seated promptly in his establishment.
Above all else the food is wonderful. If you want cheap quick fried food, this place is not for you. The vegetables are fresh crisp and firm. Order them in the won-​ton soup that is exquisite. Any of the dumplings are tremendous. I’ve only ever enjoyed the shrimp or chicken dishes and have never been disappointed.

THREW AWAY $ 50 OF FOOD. The food was disgusting, it was so spicy it took away from the taste of the food, and on top of everything it was NOT fresh and very stale. When we called to complain the owner was not accommodating, he was VERY rude and did not want to listen to what we had to say. WAY OVERPRICED AND NOT WORTH IT.

Chinatown Café is an refugee from Race Street, Philadelphia. Owner Cary is a Bucks County pioneer, coming to this frontier lacking in quality Chinese cuisine, and opening his shop several years ago because he saw an opportunity to be one of the first quality chefs to start a business. He knew there was a great need, and the socio/​economic means to support it.
He has succeeded. Chinatown Café stand above most of the rest of the Chinese restos in Central Bucks, if not the entire domain. The quality, taste, and overall gestalt of his shop are exceptional. From soup through fortune cookie, the dining experience feels wholesome and well suited to the Chinese/​American palate. Cary knows what people like, and provides it at a high level. When inside his world, you feel you will be exiting onto 11^th Street.
This week I went in for lunch. Although there is a lunch special menu, after my recent experience with an awful lunch at another place, I did not want to go that way. So, I ordered off the main menu — Duck Fried Rice. I knew that Cary was a duck wizard. Out came a huge steaming platter loaded with well seasoned rice and big pieces of roast duck. It was enough for 6 people. It was moist, flavorful, and exactly what I wanted. Just Ducky!
Cary and I chatted a bit about our businesses, and when he realized I spent time in China, he brought out a bowl of Wonton Soup for me to sample. Very nice of him to do so. The broth was rich, golden and as good as my Jewish grandmother made. Swimming easily in the bowl were several fancy goldfish wontons, with nearly translucent skin, and silky tails. Stirring the mix gave the impression that the wontons were alive and enjoying themselves peacefully in a koi pond. I think this style wonton is actually called, «Butterfly Wonton,» but they look like goldfish to me.
The last remains of the Duck Fried Rice sits in my refrigerator awaiting consumption. I have enjoyed it daily since the visit. I have to finish it before I can go back for more.
Four Stars with a Bullet. I have to see what Chinatown Café does not the spicy end of the spectrum to be completely in love.

Great chicken dumplings amazing wonton soup and shrimp fried rice!!! I absolutely love this place and the owner Cary is so friendly and accommodating !!! If ur in the area and craving some yummy Chinese food for a great price this is the place !!!

Everything was delicious! They even had mock general tso’s chicken that tasted just like real chicken. You can’t really compared this place to a Chinese take-​out because the quality is just way higher. I always like to try new things on the menu and haven’t been disappointed yet. The restaurant staff is great and the place is clean.

The food is definitely more expensive then you would expect for a take out Chinese restaurant, but the food is better quality than the average place. Their wontons are phenomenal. They are thin and light and allow the filling to stand out, not like the super thick, doughy wontons you normally get at cheaper places.
When we get take out Chinese food, this is the place to go in Langhorne.

I’d give it 5 stars for the noodles and wontons. The beef chow fun wide noodles are pretty decent. Also the Singapore noodles are good having a curry flavor. I liked their duck fried rice. The string beans I had were good. A dish I did not like but can’t remember the name –but had scallops and shrimp in it with pepper and salt. The scallops tasted like they were not fresh and in fact kind of off. If I had ordered noodles soup and rice dishes only I would have had no reservations giving 5. I see the few reviews here are very low and I would rate higher personally. Btw I served to several adults and kids all whom felt like they had a good meal. (take out). Bottom line, noodles shine here.

China town café is our go-​to Chinese restaurant. Their food really is as good as China town. I highly recommend the noodle soup, duck, ho fun (w/​sauce on the side), and general tso’s.

Awful awful food… Got four dishes for take out and threw away all of them. Even the most basic ingredients were stale. Worst food I have ever eaten.
