Nihao Chinese Restaurant

This small Chinese-American take-out has remained in NE Tallahassee, growing its’ client base and improving its’ offerings. Tonight, our order was prepared hot, fresh, and surprisingly fast. The other local competitors don’t seem to make the grade. Owners seem to be on-site every time we go. Tonight included Triple Delight, Chicken Lo Mein, and Chicken with mixed vegetables. Nice people, great food and at a reasonable price.

Just had lunch with my sister here the food is was hot and fresh . My kids loved the wonton soup as well that was apart of the lunch special . There’s a little play ground outside as well .

I got Krab Rangoon and Pork Chow Mein. The Krab Rangoon was some of the best I’ve ever had. They were large, the wontons were light and crispy, and there was plenty of delicious filling. The chow mein was good but a little flat. I will definitely return to try some other items off the menu. This is a storefront basically designed for takeout. There are two tables, but not really designed for Eating in.

On my mission to try every Chinese place in town I ordered the lunch special General Tao’s today. The portion was slightly smaller than many of the other places around town, but the price was about the same. The chicken was good - having a crispness, but not being chewy. A little lighter on sauce than I prefer. I didn’t enjoy the rice quite as much as some places, but I liked the egg roll! Timely service, but not the “best Chinese cuisine.”

The food is Amazing! I could literally eat the Spicy Orange Chicken every day😭. The sesame chicken is always a good option, if you even just need a good fried rice to mix with your own meat at home which I have done before, it’s a great place to go! The staff has never been rude, and they are very fast!

Moo goo gai pan was good, not great but ok. The Szechuan bean curd was bad. It had a faint ketchup flavor and texture, no spice whatsoever. The raccoons in my yard didn't even eat it. The service was fast, all front staff were friendly and lovely.

We ordered 4 meals last night. It was by far the worst I've had in town. All the chicken was soggy and lacked flavor. The egg rolls were like mush on the inside. The rice had a strange texture and just tasted cheap. Maybe just an off night, but it was horrible.

We order here frequently. They are very consistent. It is quite rare to get something that is cooked incorrectly or differently than normal. Their meats are always tender and their shrimp are always crisp. It’s clearly geared towards takeout and I think it is nice that it is family-run and the kids are helping out. We haven’t tried much of their very broad menu but what we have had has been delicious and worth ordering again many times. Many of the one star reviews seem either fake or from ridiculously petty people. Definitely worth your time. Out portions have always been large, very well-packaged and delivered quickly. Pick-up orders have been the same, quick and consistent.

Thanks Nihao, for accommodating our group of 8 for lunch today! We all enjoyed our selections from the specials.Nice portions and reasonably priced.We had a fun and didn't feel rushed.Recommended!!

Ordered a General Tso and got 3 cups of veggies and maybe two table spoons of meat. No wonder this place is dead. Owners were clearly in a hurry to get back to watching tv on an iPhone instead of securing a repeat customer

Consistently good food that served fast and hot enough to get to the house. Yummy and high recommend

It was a Chinese food delivery kind of night for me and I selected Nihao; however, the food left me disappointed. I ordered two egg rolls, scallion pancakes, wonton soup, General Tso's chicken and the special house lo mein. The food was mediocre. The flavors were off or just lacking. The lo mein tasted like nothing and neither did the fried rice. They were very bland, which is a no-no because carbs are usually my favorite part of any meal. The egg rolls were not good either. I will say, the General Tso's chicken had bit of spice and I did really enjoy the scallion pancakes (not so much the taste but texture). Overall, the food is just okay. Maybe I ordered the wrong things and missed out on the "stand-out" options? But in all honesty, I think there are better Chinese options at a similar price point.

Great Tallahassee take away spicy is spicy so order medium and it is a true family business

So grateful to have a Chinese restaurant that will accommodate my nut allergy. The food was tasty! Thank you :)

No time today, so I ordered up some Chinese. The delivery was so fast. The food was pretty Typical Chinese food but mad kudos for fast delivery. All the fried food was still nice a crispy. The delivery sweat didn't have time to make soggy. The dumplings and the scallion pancakes where the stars for me.

Nihao is not a sit down and dine kind of restaurant, but it is consistently tasty. Whether ordering food to go or delivery, Nihao does well with their egg drop soup, crab Rangoon, fried rice, and various meat and rice combos my family craves. We order from Nihao about twice a month. To get crab rangoons, chicken fried rice, and four meat entrees (usually beef and broccoli for my husband, sweet chicken varieties for my kids, and red curry seafood or Kung Po chicken for me) it will run you about $50. There are always leftovers, which thrills my children. I am also happy to report their food is not drenched in oil or MSG.

There was a hair in my chicken fried rice, not to mention I had to wait a whole 2 and a half hours!!!! The food was greasy, and overcooked. Overall it's awful and the store isn't much to write about.

Ordered take out Sunday night combo platters egg foo yong and curry chicken very good quality . My wife is Chinese and very picky see love the food and they are fast

Truly mediocre. Bland but crisp veggies. The chicken tasted previously-frozen. If you like middle-of-the-road zero spice food: this place is for you! Eggdrop soup was ok.

If I could give this Zero stars I would and they add a 15% tip for To go orders. Unedited, sorry.

My first time here and only because I was waiting for son to take a test at the mathnasium. So you know that Seinfeld episode with the soup nazi? That's basically what I was thinking listening to the owner taking orders over the phone while I waited for my food lol! He was sounded so mean and short with customers yet the phone kept ringing so maybe the food was worth the verbal abuse lol! Well the food was just meh but I can see the appeal, it's fast, they deliver and it's cheap so there's that. After all, every town should have a seedy little chinese take out joint right? :)

We've been getting delivery from Nihao since they first opened in Bradfordville. We do a lot of delivery, so it has been great to have a Chinese restaurant with such excellent food in our area. I have ordered the Seafood Delight, Chicken with Cashews, and the Moo Goo Gai Pan on several occasions and every time, it is delicious! Their "Small" serving size is large enough, it usually makes for two meals, so I have it warmed over the next day for lunch! Even better the second time around! They must be good to work for, as well, because I have had the same delivery guy every time. Thanks for getting our food to us fast, hot, and all in one piece, Clay! It is always a pleasure!

Tried Nihao for the first time. Don't normally write reviews but this was horrible. I recently read from residents that it was good. I got the roast pork lomein, boneless spare ribs roast pork fried rice and egg roll. I threw out the left overs. There are SO MANY better options. I've had buffets that were better than this. Emerald Garden New Garden Dao are 100x better. Not good chinese. I should mention I grew up in NY and have many places in Long Island Queens and NYC. I know know good Chinese this was not!

Underrated good Chinese food. Take home treasure. The food is always fresh and delicious. Certainly not a dine in place (while they do have a table or two), but they deliver.

Update: My last order went great, got food within 30 minutes and it was warm and delicious. Back on my list for sure. 12/3/2016 Have ordered delivery from them several times. The food is delicious but the delivery time is always over a hour. Tonight I ordered at 7:21 and received my food at 9:00 which is just too long! And food was not hot as it usually is but still it was tasty. Just can't justify that wait so will have to take them off my delivery list.

Always consistent quality. One of the best Asian restaurants in town. Wide verity of menu items. Third party delivery is great.

Came here for lunch, had a craving for Chinese food. I ordered the Mongolian chicken it was supposed to be a lunch special I wanted it spicy, but got sweet. I don't know if I will come again they were not that friendly and the the special was really no special. $7.25 you got just the entree and you choose an egg roll or soup. They gave more rice than anything and not much of the meat.

This was the worst food we've ever had from a Chinese restaurant. We've frequented this place because service is quick but it just seems to be getting worse. The chicken fried rice was bland, the noodles ordered were undercooked, sweet and sour chicken was soggy and the egg rolls were the smallest we've ever seen. Called to complain and they put us on hold while we were talking- and my husband was being very nice about it. Will not go here again.

Came here for takeout. Not sure why they only have 3.5 stars on here. We have been ordering from the Bannerman location for over a year now and the quality is always consistent. The food is always delicious. We have ordered delivery several times in the past and it's always quick.

Really disappointing experience. I ordered a large carry out order including vegetable fried rice with no egg and no mushrooms. I got extra mushrooms and eggs which I discovered when I got home with the food. When I called to get the order corrected, the manager made it very difficult for me and began yelling at her employee. She all but refused to correct the order. I decided it wasn't worth it. My family, who lives in town, used to frequent this place but will no longer go there. BTW, the food was only average.

Terrible customer service. Food was not tasty. Maybe they had someone other than the regular chef prepare my food & wait on me -given the other reviews. I'll never order from this place again! First & last time. I've ordered from several other Chinese restuarants with better results. I see a few have had my experience as well. Don't waste your money or your time!

I ordered online and it was very easy and streamlined. Our order was hot and tasted like a go-to Chinese take out. Not bad at all. Will be ordering there from now on.

Looking for great Chinese food, then you need to place an order at NIHAO. We have been ordering takeout from NIHAO since they opened and the food has been consistently fantastic. And always ready in about twenty-minutes. I don't know how they do it. Great homemade food lighting fast and with personality. The owners are a great bunch of folks. Support your local businesses and order from NIHAO. I can't imagine you will be disappointed. It's all good.

Ordered a few times from them with no issue. Fried Rice is a bit lacking in flavor but always tastes fresh, other than that any food I have gotten has been very good and fresh and hot. Delivery is always super quick, even during lunch hours. Today they messed up and gave me a veg. egg roll in place of a small order of veg. fried rice. Called and the girl on the phone was very pleasant and they ran me over the missing rice ASAP.

Food was terrible. Would not recommend it. The fried rice tasted old and no flavor. The soup was oily and did not taste like traditional so wonton soup.

Our experience was totally different than the first reviewer's. We were looking to try a different Chinese delivery so, despite the bad review, decided to give Nihao a chance. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was delivered warm, crispy as is should be, and very tasty. We ordered 4 different dinner plates and enjoyed each one. The food was typical chinese take-out/delivery without much pizazz but, then again, we weren't expecting that either. We would definitely order from here again.

Worst food ever. Tired and hungry I decided to order food to go. I approached the entrance to witness the owner or employees child barefoot and banging on the front glass door, pitching a fit and being jerked by the arm and made to sit on a cot in the corner of the ordering area. Screaming at the crying child continued and i should have left then. I ordered and left, arriving home to eat. The first bite of food tasted as if bleach or cleaning solution had spilled into the food. It was not edible. It was the first and last time I will go to this restaurant. Can't even give it one star, it was that horrible.

My family and I eat here on several occasions and tonight was the worst Chinese food we've ever ate. We always order the same thing and its always good but tonight when we ordered, it was discolored and it tasted spoiled. We drove back up there to show the staff the food in hopes of them fixing the problem but they cursed at us and told us that couldn't give us a new one or our money back. They were rude and disrespectful. There are plenty of other places that will give us great service. We will never eat their again or recommend this place that calls its self a restaurant to any one. BE WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this Chinese Restaurant. We order from here several times a month and we are never disappointed.

Place is close to home and delivers so decided to give it a try. You can place order online which is a plus as well.... Ordered food on a Saturday at 5:30 food arrived at 7. They said they were busy, I can see that so wasn't too upset. Ordered Kung Pao chicken, beef with oyster sauce, chicken lo mein, beef fried rice and egg drop & sweet sour soups + egg rolls. Kung Pao chicken was awful, was just small pieces of thigh meat in a premade sauce with undercooked mirepoix (carrot were raw)... Beef fried rice was flavorless. The beef in the oyster sauce tasted like they boiled it. Lo Mein was ok (2 out of 5)... Egg rolls were typical for a takeout place. Soups were cold and disgusting. Won't order from there again.

They have horrible service and they are expensive. We've given them many chances because we live near there. Make sure you add up your total because they will charge you extra when they can. We also got sick from eating there. One of my friends got sick for a week and she didn't even eat with us! That was the last time we stepped foot in Ni Hao. If you want to find a restaurant where they care about their customers, try Miyako Japanese Restaurant right in the same plaza. I always have a good experience there.
