24 Best Chinese Restaurants in Columbia

“My first experience at Magnolias buffet was a fantastic one. I sampled about 2/3 of the items they had on the food bar and enjoyed every item that I sampled. The food was fresh, hot and enjoyable. Kelly, our table hostess, was a very sweet, efficient and charming individual. I will definitely be returning. If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. Kudos to Magnolias buffet!“

“Best shrimp fried rice in town. The unique flavoring and the small shrimp in almost every two spoonfuls is what makes this rice elite. I don't even eat rice from anywhere else. Wings are good, egg-rolls are good, other menu items are on par with other chinese places but again, the rice is next-level.“

“I had a special coupon on uber eats and Good taste- Chinese Food were available for delivery. I have not been to this restaurant since we moved to Columbia.I first read the reviews and there were more good than bad , I decided to give them a first time shot!"I ordered the shrimp and mixed vegetables w/ white rice and 7 cut honey spicy wings.The food was AMAZING!! The one little thing is the wings were not spicy enough for me, but very few can match my taste buds for high heat!!! Lol.I am SO glad that I I took a chance.The food arrived HOT, QUICK , & the presentation was on!I'm always iffy about ordering delivery however with this order I was a VERY SATISFIED customer!I will definitely be returning.As I mentioned prior I ordered delivery therefore I don't have any input on the atmosphere or in store customer service.I can only assume that too is AWESOME!Finally Good Chinese food in the Midlands! Yay!!!“

“We were hungry and we were looking up places to eat and saw this place and said why not. The place is really nice on the inside and has booths and tables. It's kind of small it looks like it can fit about 25-50 people at a time. You just sit where you want if you are going to eat in and they will bring you a menu. They have can sodas, sweet tea and water to drink and the sodas you have to pay for each one. I ordered the Pad Thai and both my girls got the Sesame Chicken with plain fried rice and everything was sooo good. The Pad Thai reminds me of drunken noodles because it was sweet and spicy and not like Pad Thai that I have had at other places but it was still amazing. If we didn't live an hour away we would definitely go back for more.“

“Awesome expanded sushi menu .Service was excellent love the new building . We had three different types of sushi rolls and spring rolls Great Jasmine tea .I've been to 4 different sushi places in last couple of weeks this is the top of the list .yum“

“I was on a trip in Nashville and had honey chicken for the first time so when I came back to Columbia I tried to find a Chinese restaurant that was comparable and this place was it!! You can’t dine in here, but don’t let the outside fool you. We have tried a ton of Chinese restaurants in the Columbia area and this one is by far our favorite! The people working the counter are very nice as well!!“

“Did a quick pick up for lunch. Called my order in. The food was ready by the time I got there. Staff was friendly. My only issue with this restaurant has always ever been their parking lot. It is a tight squeeze. I needed to get back to work fast but I was blocked in by a delivery truck. For a popular spot, I wish the accessibility of parking was better.“

“Stopped in to place a order. I had the sesame chicken combo, with shrimp fried rice, with extra shrimp. The combo also came with an egg roll, but I added an extra egg roll.Everything was delicious! The added shrimp made it even better.The employees were friendly, and provided great customer service!“

“Even though I call my food in early I went to pick it up 30 mins and it wasn’t ready it took them a hour to give me my food but I can understand due to high volume of customers coming in and customers calling rapidly. Other then that this was my first time ordering food was amazing. I’m learning patience so I will be backParking: Small parking area“

“I should have taken a pic, but Boneless Spare Rib Fried Rice (combo) is not a joke. 81 million votes; that's a joke. Deleting over 30,000 emails, each one its own felony since it was after a subpoena was issued, and not going to prison is a joke. People voting themselves into the worst economy since the Great Depression because they don't like someone's tweets is a joke. BONELESS SPARE RIB FRIED RICE from this place is NOT a joke. I found my new favorite spot for Chinese food in Columbia, SC.“

“So far so good discovered this spot couple months ago and they have very consistent with the quality of the food.The lunch specials are great and fairly priced and generously portioned.My Top 2 picks are the sesame chicken with white rice/And Cut Wings (Lemon pepper) shrimp fried rice definitely worth it check em out. They have a convenient drive thru perfect for a lunch run or just food on the go.The inside is clean and the service is ok.Stop by grab one of favorite meals“

“If you're in the mood for tasty Chinese takeout, China Hut is the place to go. The menu has all the classic dishes, and the flavors are spot-on. The quick service and reasonable prices make it a convenient and enjoyable option for a casual meal.“

“This is exactly the kind of Asian food I wanted as a soon to be drunk person. They were open on New Year's Eve (2023) and this was our 3rd stop of the night trying to find Asian food. The value was awesome, got a meal for less than $10. The egg/spring roll was a fair size, the plastic takeout dish was reusable, my meal had rice, broccoli, and sesame chicken and it was more than enough to last me 2 considerable meals. Only thing I would recommend is more salt on the broccoli.“

“I had an amazing experience with the crab legs – it felt like heaven! The Jamaican jerk butter was absolutely amazing – you have to try it! My daughter enjoyed the chicken tenders and fries, which were so delicious. Everything was seasoned to perfection! The service was fantastic, and everyone was super friendly and helpful. I can't remember the last time I finished all my food from a restaurant. Looking forward to returning for more delightful meals!“

“The AMERICA JAMSKATERS love this Restaurant because the Food is Excellent and Service is Professional! The First Time I came was for the Egg Rolls and calamari that was excellent! Then I had the Crab legs-Shrimp-Crawfish Boil. That was excellent! That same day I came back for the Chicken and Fries that where excellent! This close to Fort Jackson and great for lunch or Dinner with your Military Discount!“

“This is honestly the best Chinese food I have ever had. The wings were so juicy and the fried rice was amazing. I usually do not like Chinese food, but im glad that I tried this spot. The lady who took my order was very nice. FYI, they do not have dine-in since COVID. Take-out only but definitely worth eating. Would highly recommend for cheap, but quality food.“

“One of Best spots in Columbia. Great service and food.“

“Pleasant atmosphete with plenty of seating.Very courteous no matter who takes the order. Excellent variety of dishes most offer small and larger sizes. Food quality is high! Never a mistake on the order and I get two ample dinners from one small size Moo goo gai pan or broccali beef. 8 minutes from my house doesn't hurt.“

“The food was excellent. It was my first time eating here. Ordered the House Lomein. It had shrimp, streak, and chicken in it. The portions were outstanding. House Lomein, Fried scallops( a good bit) and 2 egg rolls cost me 27.00. Worth the price“
