Who wants Chinese? At our house, the answer to that is usually a unanimous “me!” We love the Chinese food available at these great restaurants here in Newark, OH. Put the family in your roomy new Kia Sorento and head over to one of these spots in style.
Lucky Bamboo
You’ll find Lucky Bamboo at 1485 Granville, RD. They open from 11AM until 9:30PM Monday through Thursday and stay open until 10PM on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday they close a little earlier at 9PM. You can reach them at (740) 344-1822 to order ahead.
We recommend their kung pao chicken and the hot pepper dish, which you can have with chicken, beef, shrimp, or pork. Their orange sauce is amazing here, and the almond shrimp is something a little different that everyone really enjoys. Don’t miss their lemon chicken, either, which comes with a thick and flavorful sauce we can’t get enough of.
Golden Wok
The Golden Wok is a simple place but wildly popular for their lunch specials, fast service, and delicious food. You’ll find them at 22 1/2 N Park Pl, in the Cornell Clothing Co building. They are open during the week from 11AM until 8PM (9PM on Fridays), and on Saturday from 1PM to 9PM. They’re closed on Sunday. You can order online or call ahead to place an order at (740) 349-7050.
Their soup is excellent: try the Triple Delight Sizzling Rice Soup or the egg drop. They have the usual appetizers you’d expect with takeout Chinese, but they also have water chestnuts wrapped in bacon and delicious butterfly shrimp. We can’t recommend their Princess Beef enough: it’s stir-fried beef that’s as tender as can be, served on a bed of noodles with lots of vegetables.
Peony Bistro
Peony is located at 1230 W Church St, and they do takeout and delivery from 11AM until 9:30PM most nights, until 10PM on Friday, and until 10:30PM on Saturday. They’re closed on Sundays. Order online or call at (740) 641-2021 to get your order in.
You’ll want to try their fried rice here, and the pot stickers, which are particularly great. Their crab rangoon is amazing, and everyone loves their honey crispy chicken. We also love their black bean chicken, the honey crisp pork, and the Szechwan beef.
Cheng’s Gourmet
Visit Cheng’s at 291 Deo Dr to dine in or take out some great food. They are in the Indian Valley Plaza, and they are open from 10:30AM until 9:30PM most days, and until 10PM on Friday and Saturday nights. On Sunday they open just a bit later at 11:30AM.
This is a great spot for fried jumbo shrimp, edamame, chow mein, and chop suey. We highly recommend any protein in their fantastic sweet and sour sauce, and their Tai Chin chicken is also really good.
Any of these places would be a great spot for dinner tonight. To make sure you can always pick up takeout at a moment’s notice, stop by Coughlin Kia of Newark to see the best new and used Kia’s around!
