Marco Polo Gardens

When I picked up my order and drove away I knew something was wrong; the place was completely empty, no phones ringing, and food odors in my car didn’t smell even remotely appetizing. When I got home I ended up apologizing to my family for the disaster and we promptly returned the entire order and requested our money back. The portions were small and a bit odd (we paid about $8 more here than we have at any other local Chinese restaurant and the portions were significantly smaller). The steamed dumplings were so gummy and overcooked. The General Tso’s Chicken was like soup and looked disgusting. I cannot comment on how it tasted because we didn’t try anything (based on the appearance and odor we were afraid someone may become ill). I’m not sure how this place is even open! 👎🏻👎🏻🤢

I love Marco Polo it's definitely one of those hidden gems in our area when it comes to homemade Chinese food. Unfortunately the restaurant isn't maintained very well probably due to lack of funding. But I still do love going here for takeout for dining in. The prices are definitely too high for the kind of establishment it is however it is supporting a local family which I'm all on board about

This place may not look like much on the outside, but my wife & I had excellent service and some of the best Chinese food we've ever eaten. The egg drop soup was thick and had corn in it, almost like a chowder, and was delicious. We ordered the moo shu chicken and combination shrimp fried rice, and were blown away by the quality. We were forced to go there by a sudden snowstorm on Valentine's night, but boy are we glad we did. The definition of a pleasant surprise.

The quality of food was terrible. The inside of the restaurant is disgusting and the food was a waste of money. Not only did it look and taste stale but the steamed dumplings I ordered were hard. Which means everything was old, everything down to the stale fortune cookies. It’s hard to mess that up but they did. When I called to complain the woman argued with me for 5 minutes. Don’t waste your money, go somewhere else

I worked next door to this restaurant for 4 years. I ate ... a LOT of their food. So put simply - some items on their menu are phenomenal. Indoor dining experience is preferable and the combination platter is a steal - 7ish dollars will get you a soup, egg roll, and meal (plus free tea, if you're inside). Take out is usually slightly lower quality in my experience. Best menu items: Sesame/General Tso/Orange chicken, any of the beef (thinly sliced, not tough,very tasty). Easily the best fried dumplings in the area, by a long shot. Negative aspects - containers can leak. The old lady who runs the place talks - a lot. Egg rolls are usually too oily for my tastes. Positive aspects - most places (For chinese food) just reheat their food from stuff they buy in bulk. Usually there's very little cooking going on. Steamed rice is excellent, fried is so-so. It's a nice quiet place with decent food at a pretty low price (especially at lunch). Could it be better? Sure. But that'll probably start happening when they get more orders.

This is the best Chinese food you will find in Harrisburg. Do not let the look of the inside fool you. It is a diamond in the ruff. The owner is wonderful caring and very respectful. The food is authentic. If you come through Harrisburg and don't stop here you will have missed the best thing about this city.
