Marco Polo Gardens

If you're looking for high class restuarant, this isn't it. It's clearly a family run Chinese restaurant. The food was great, and made fresh. The spicy food wasn't very spicy, but if you ask, I'm sure they could kick it up a notch. They weren't busy when we got there, so keep that in mind when i say the service was great. The place doesn't look the greatest, but don't let that stop you from giving it a try. As far as Chinese food goes, it was way better than most higher price Chinese restaurants I've been too.

Absolutely the best Chinese food, even if you’re used to NYC! The place might not be much to look at, but the food is amazing! (We’ve sampled most of the menu except seafood.) Meat and sauces are delicious, and they’re generous with the veggies, which are super fresh. Fried rice is like none I’ve ever had, very tasty but not greasy at all. Even the fried noodles were delicious and freshly made. Absolutely well worth it!

I’m not one to do this but I felt I needed to. We ordered general tso chicken and got 6 pieces of chicken. There was so much sauce it was unbelievable... Pretty skimpy for an $11 item in the menu. We also ordered lo mein which was accompanied with a nice long hair. So I’m not sure what happened or if this is a normal thing but it’s really not good.

The restaurant was dirty, products lying out on dining tables. Kids were playing cards at a table nearby while we were dining. One man did it all. Greeted us, seated us, took our order and brought us our food. He probably was the chef also. A lady seated near the entrance was of no help. I asked her for our check when no one came to collect our dishes or offer us dessert. The food was a huge disappointment. I thought it would taste like the old Marco Polo Gardens from the 1980s that was located near the Harrisburg East Mall. This was probably the worst Chinese food that I ever tasted. A family arrived while we were waiting for our food. They walked in, looked around, and walked back out. We should have done the same.

Great Chinese restaurant. Food was absolutely delicious; the best. Served hot. Very reasonably priced. Soothing traditional background music was relaxing and enjoyable. Wish I could transport the restaurant to my home town. Do not let any hesitation on your part stop you from enjoying a very good meal!

Lets get real about this bizarre little gem: you will either love it or hate it. If for some reason, RIDICULOUSLY GOOD TASTING FOOD is not #1 of importance, this place may not be for you. If the ease of locating the restaurant, or easy parking is very important to you, you will not appreciate it's unlikely home on a residential street. Expect to bust out your parallel parking skills. If cleanliness and atmosphere are important to you lol, this isn't for you. The pages of the menu reliably stick together as you labor to read it in the dim lighting more fitting of an illegal gaming operation. The soda will come from cans and there is a serious language barrier w/staff. But if you are still game by this point, you need to get out there and try it. All chinese joints seem to have the exact same tasteless, generic stuff.. this place is definitely not like that. The egg rolls here are very unique to the restaurant. The outer wrap has an awesome flakey texture with an audible crunch. I recommend the sesame chicken- you probably have never had it like this.. (and ask for it a little spicy.) The portions are so that you'll be eating it as a meal again afterwards. Plus, prices are great and don't seem to have changed since the last time they dusted. Credentials: 10 yrs of big city Chinese eating of both the cheap and high end variety... Marco Polo absolutely competes with the best.

I ordered the mongolian beef which was given high marks in another review. As mentioned elsewhere, this was in fact very good. Unfortunately it all goes downhill from here. Despite ordering a large, the amount of rice I received was even smaller than the small at most other Chinese restaurants. This was no partially offset by the fact that the rice was noticeably not fresh. The rice was quite mushy, as if it had been sitting in a warmer for a while. There is no parking, so be prepared for street parking only.

Visiting Hershey for work and found this little gem. From soup to egg roll to sesame chicken it was delicious. The wonton soup was tasty and the noodles were just right. The egg roll was really good as well. It was unusual wish isn't always good but this was. Now, the sesame chicken was simply awesome. The sauce was so good. The man presumably the owner came out to ask me how it was and I told him I loved it. He proceeded to tell me about his son who moved and returns regularly to pick some up. Wish I could do the same. So, my suggestion is go for it. You won't be sorry. Marco---------polo. Yum.
