China Inn Restaurant — Restaurant in Wilmington

Hello, first let me start off by saying when I moved to Baynard Blvd., 8 years ago China Inn was one of the restaurant that delivered to me. Everything was great. Two thumbs up. Then I was over a friend's house watching the game, having a festive time. My friend was hungry and I suggested China Inn. I called for her and placed the order, when, as note, the rude gentleman on the phone put me on hold. He then came back and abruptly said we don't deliver there. I responded by say what, why? Again, it just fell on death ears. I told him that is only 2.7 miles away. Nothing. I said you deliver to me and I'm 3.1 miles away. So the next day I called and asked to speak to the manager. When she finally came to the phone and as I tried to explain. She took my number and said that he would call me back. Haha. That of course didn't happen. Look I didn't get to be my age by being dumb. This is a clear and cut case of racial profiling. Period. The old saying. Never say never. But I will never give my very hard earned money to an establishment the practices these ignorant antics....

China Inn is the kind of place that surprises you—not with flash or fanfare, but with food that just gets it right. Their General Tso’s Tofu is a standout example of culinary balance: the tofu hits that rare sweet spot where it’s neither soggy nor overly crisp. It holds its shape with integrity yet still yields tenderly with each bite.

What really sets this dish apart is the sauce. It doesn’t drown the tofu or vanish into the plate. Instead, it clings in just the right proportion—rich and flavorful without being syrupy, bold without overwhelming. The consistency walks a tightrope between silky and sticky, delivering a glaze that enhances the tofu instead of masking it.

Whether you're a long-time tofu fan or just looking for a satisfying meatless option, this is a dish that speaks with quiet confidence. No gimmicks—just thoughtful texture, well-executed flavor, and that rare feeling of finding exactly what you...

Very good! My husband usually gets the beef & broccoli or beef sticks (yum!) or spare ribs. Being Diabetic I usually order the steamed chicken & vegetables which I think is awesome, very flavorful & the chicken is so tender. Their Hot & Sour soup is a little too thick for my taste but I get it anyway because it's FULL of ingredients...
