13 Best Chinese Restaurants in Anchorage

“The cake is amazing and delicious.“

“I work around the corner and, thus, have eaten here many times. The spring rolls and lo mein have been my go-to. They literally never disappoint.

I was feeling a little squirrely today and decided to jump outside of my comfort zone and try the hot and spicy beef noodle soup, and WOW, what a flavor bomb this things is! It’s so seriously good, but it’s not for the faint of heart. I started to open the extra chili oil they included in the bag when I thought to myself “I should probably try this first,” and I’m so glad I did, because she is spiiicy. Hurts so good though. I will definitely be ordering this again.

I’m always apprehensive about the prices here but am always quickly reminded of how worth it their food is. This portion was actually massive, and they include a separate container with lots of noodles and cabbage, along with a little ramekin of green onion and cilantro. It’s very thoughtfully packaged, which is something I always appreciate. If I had one critique, it would be that I would like maybe a *little* bit more beef in it. Regardless, 11/10. Oh, and the service is stellar too. The guy with the black Ray Bans is a real one.

Thanks, Mei’s, for never letting me down, and for having some of the best, most authentic Chinese food I’ve ever had. 🫶“

“The service and food are fantastic! Would highly recommend to anyone. The flavor is outstanding. Had Korean bulbolgi, teriyaki chicken, lumpia and gyoza. This will be a regularly visited spot for us. Hats off to the chef and staff!“

“😍Great food; great prices and definitely great portions!!“

“That lady at Lucky kitchen was totally rude.She rolled her eyes on us a few times, for no reason. If she doesn't know how to treat people right, then she shouldn't work in public. It's my first time to visit your store, and that was the impression I got. I am extremely disappointed of her. Remember she's representing your store. Whatever they do, that reflects on you. Oh yeah you deserved zero star by the way. Let me see if I could report you to BBB“

“Very pleasant experience. The crab rangoon and szechwan beef were delicious, the seating was comfortable and the food came out super quickly. Our waitress was very personable and had a great discussion with us. She made our night! We’ll definitely be coming back! :)“

“The food here is amazing!! I give this place ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you have never been then I highly recommend that you do!!!!!“

“2026- updated
This is our fav place to go when we get to go anchorage. Reading my first review compared to how I feel after 3 years of coming here ALOT in 2023 & 2024. Every Friday for a min there we had date night. We ate it go to. My BF moved to valley for me in end of 2024 so we were no longer regulars.

We love and know the family that owns & runs the place they are all wonderful. They are all happy to be there and to see u enjoy their food.
I had a baby in 2025 and had lots of appt in anchorage so i got to take the food to go and say hi. I will continue to come back again and again.

The meat is tender, and the serving is plentiful. The rice is fluffy. I love their egg drop soup & get extra egg rolls and they their sweet & sour sauce oh my goodness, so good. We have eaten here lots of times with the in laws on double dates and ive sat at every spot- there is no bad one.

And this might be off but their bathroom is always clean, stocked, well lit, and smells good.

Summer of 2023-
I’ve eaten here twice now. First time was dining. Second time is takeout. Both times. The food was delicious. I ordered the same thing because if it’s not broke why fix it I ordered the letter N, which is Mongolian beef and sesame chicken. The only reason why I didn’t give five stars, across-the-board on all categories is because when you order takeout, they don’t say anything to you or tell you, but you’re not gonna get your egg drop soup which if you dine in you would get soup but if you order takeout, even though they have the takeout containers they don’t give you the soup. So aside from that it’s my new favorite restaurant for date night. We will hust be dining in from now on.
The food is 💋*Chefs Kiss*💋 though!“

“Emphasis on COMFORT. It’s so nice, good lighting and the best fried rice. It’s so nice to go to a place filled with good people. And yes a highchair is available! Y’all bad customers better not ruin such a beautiful thing.“

“My daughter wanted Chinese food while we were in Anchorage to ice skate. Being unfamiliar with the local restaurants, we looked online. Having been spoiled by truly amazing Asian food in the past, we chose China Lights. We were not disappointed! The food was beautiful and awesome! Very colorful and flavorful. The restaurant was clean and the had a joyful feel. The owner and wait-staff were attentive, kind, and showed a true enjoyment of their jobs. Miss Tracy was genuinely super kind to my daughter and I. Going to a place where people really enjoy what they do makes a big difference in the overall experience! Definitely added to my favorite stops list in Anchorage.“

“The food here is amazing. I highly recommend the pineapple chicken, but honestly it's hard to find a bad dish on the menu. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic taste.

My only criticism is the 5% surcharge for credit card payments, which feels exceptionally steep. I understand businesses pay processing fees and sometimes pass along part of that cost, but 5% seems higher than what's typically charged. If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend bringing cash to avoid the surcharge.

Other than that, I have nothing but good things to say. The food is absolutely worth it, and I'll definitely be back.“
