"Large portions, great flavor. Ingredients were fresh and spice level was appropriate. I ordered spicy . I appreciate the level of detail with packaging too. My Papaya Salad (Som Tum) had excellent flavor and sauce and they packaged it tightly and put plastic wrap over to make sure it didnt leak. Very thoughtful! This will be my go-to Thai now! "

"China Inn is our favorite restaurant! We especially like the triple delight. Lunch specials are reasonably priced and you get a lot of food. Delicious every time!"
"5-Star Review for China Inn on DoorDash Just had an absolutely fantastic delivery from China Inn in Gainesville – Haymarket and I’m still thinking about it hours later. Everything arrived piping hot, perfectly packaged, and right on time. The Moo Goo Gai Pan was outstanding. Tender, juicy pieces of chicken, loads of fresh mushrooms, crisp snow peas, carrots, and water chestnuts all swimming in that light, savory white sauce that’s flavorful without being heavy or overly salty. It tasted so fresh, like it was made to order. The portions were generous—I got two solid meals out of it. This is easily one of the best versions I’ve had in the area. The egg rolls were next-level crispy! Golden, crunchy shells with a delicious filling of cabbage, pork, and spices. Not greasy at all, and they came with plenty of duck sauce and hot mustard. I devoured two immediately. China Inn in Gainesville – Haymarket continues to be my go-to for Chinese takeout. Consistent quality, great value, and the food travels really well. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and order the Moo Goo Gai Pan and egg rolls—you won’t regret it. Will definitely be ordering again soon!"

Rave Reviews
"I recently ordered from Taj Palace Indian Cuisine in Virginia, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! I tried the Cauliflower Manchurian and the Samosa Chaat, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The Cauliflower Manchurian had the perfect balance of spices and a delightful crunch. Each bite was a burst of flavor that left me wanting more. The Samosa Chaat was equally impressive, with a harmonious blend of textures and tangy, savory notes that made it a true delight. The food arrived hot and well-packaged. Overall, Taj Palace Indian Cuisine exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic and tasty Indian dishes."
"One of the best Door Dash dinners/deliveries we've had! The food was piping hot, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of heat for a mixed crowd. The absolute best Gulab - Jamun I've ever eaten. And, the Pickled Peanuts , with a nice beer, would be a perfect summer snack. The Lamb Saag was the best restaurant dish we've ever had and of course, the Garlic Naan and Onion Kulcha were divine! Delivery time and directions were perfectly followed."

"Loved the food. The spicy garlic stir fry, which I had with the roasted steak, tasted very good and wasn't too oily as with some noodle stir-frys. However, the portion was a bit smaller than I thought it would be for the price- more like a 'lunch' serving. The chocolate mousse tasted great as well, awesome mousse, with a good streusel (though the chunks were quite big)."
"The Spicy Garlic bowl was fine, not really garlic-y or spicy. Just okay. The sauce this time was just the right amount despite its blandness. Now I've had a noodle bowl, salad bowl, and the dessert. Overall, this place isn't worth the price, especially with DoorDash fees. An actual Mongolian grill would be better."
