Reviews For Lychee Chinese Restaurant

Excellent take out at reasonable prices. Very good shrimp fired rice. Also, very kind people. My father went to pick up food and he brought his tape measure instead of his wallet. When he pulled out the tape measure they told him not to worry, take the food, and call back with the credit card number. He called back upon arriving home. They were very nice to allow him to bring the food home and trusted us to call back right away. He was very hungry and tired, we are very appreciative we didn't have to make 2 trips.

Ordered Ma Po Tofu and Pork Fried Rice through GrubHub. Food is excellent and arrived piping Hot, I learned they use their own delivery drivers. Delivery driver was awesome, messaged me to verify address (i had it incorrect so lucky me) and then messaged me that he left food at front door, as didnt want to possibly wake kids, he noticed i had some toys in lawn. I called to talk to the manager to commend his employees, you can really tell the entire staff takes pride in their jobs and product (food). They found another loyal customer.

Great food, great price. Fast service. Best for takeout as there is little space to eat in. Online ordering was very easy. Pork egg rolls were delicious and hot & sour soup was perfect!

I work next door and I eat here regularly. They get fresh deliveries at least three times a week sometimes more, and everything is prepared fresh and it shows in the taste and quality of the food. I love the curry chicken with just green beans and general tso has become my favorite in town! This should be your go to take out place!

I've tried many Chinese food places here in state college. They all taste bad. This is my favorite ones here. They have a dinner special for 3 meals. Good portions, good prices, and good customer service when I was there!!

This is a reliable and delicious Chinese delivery restaurant. They have such a huge selection on their menu for all kinds of tastes. I would say their General Tso's is the best in State College, but they also have delicious Beef Broccoli plates. Oh, and you have to try the fried dumplings. So great! Vegetarians should also find plenty of choices with their plentiful vegetable dishes. They can substitute tofu for most plates f you want some protein. I've never waited more than 45 minutes for delivery. Usually it's 25-30 minutes. Restaurant staff is friendly and helpful, and they make great meals for a good value price. This isn't 5-star cuisine, but it's as good as you can get for 10. Everything is always hot and fresh upon delivery. I've never been disappointed with Lychee, and I've ordered from them once a week consistently for the past year. I'm glad to give them my business, since they deliver such good food at good prices all the time.

It’s a takeout place. Good value for the money. Taste is all right. Larger portions for the full order.
