24 Best Chinese Restaurants in Gilbert

“This place is truly a hidden gem! The inside is so clean and the staff are so kind and helpful! The food was very tasty and fresh! Overall this restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and delicious food! I highly recommend trying this place, you will not be disappointed!!! The crab ragoons and egg flower soup were incredible.“

“First time I came here was tonight, I had been searching for Chinese that was actually really good and not overpriced and was fresh and this place delivered! I knew right away after I saw the awards that they proudly represent on their counter, 2024, etc, and the kind woman who served me, and a huge portion plus all the soy sauce and things I wanted. When I got home, I couldn’t believe how much food was in there plus it was looking really good like they just got it from the Asian market, I ate half of my dinner and still have left another huge meal. The price is fair! I recommend any of the beef dishes, tons of veggies and good sauce! Thank you! I’ll be back always.“

“FanTastic! and several gluten-free dishes, but nobody knows it's GF. Seriously Fantastic and highly recommended for all, but especially GF folk.“

“**Edit** Back to five stars as I have been back since and the staff and food are right where they were before! Below is my former review.

--- ---

While my prior visits have been nothing short of spectacular, last night's order ended very peculiarly.

We ordered crab puffs (X2), honey chicken, curry chicken, shrimp with lobster sauce, and fried rice.

No issues with the puffs, honey chicken, or curry chicken. However, I identified two issues where one we are still encountering as a family.

At one point while eating the fried rice, one of my bites I felt a very crunchy portion. So crunchy, I thought I broke a tooth. Thankfully, I was able to account for my teeth. But I could not find what it was that caused the situation to begin with. Sadly, I was then too paranoid to eat more of the rice.

Shrimp with lobster sauce was a newer item we had picked. Three of us are now dealing with various types of stomach aches. For the three that are dealing with the aches, they were the only three that ate the shrimp dish (my wife, my oldest son, and myself). It has been a rather miserable day, unfortunately.

I had to adjust the rating from a 5 to a 4. Like I said, we've been to Ginger Garden in the past, and no complaints. The rice matter may be a serious outlier, but I can't ignore it given I was legit worried about a broken tooth (maybe it was a super fried rice kernel). But the stomach aches are another item that we can't overlook either. It may be the shrimp or sauce was spoiled, and the restaurant wasn't aware. However, it had a significant impact on our visit.

When I return, I'll make any adjustments to the overall rating. I hope it goes back to the five star rating we've had in the past.“

“The staff/family are incredibly welcoming. The service is well paced. The food is delicious and served family style for sharing. We enjoy several times a year and never disappointed.“

“This family restaurant is as good as it gets. Legit, authentic Chinese food. The first restaurant Stateside to match the food that I remember from when I lived in China. The owner greets you with a smile and the food is so good that you will be talking about it to your friends. Highly recommended!“

“Great flavor and the have cauliflower rice. Awesome“

“great people and great service 👍 food was delicious 😋 my boyfriend and I both enjoyed ourselves“

“This place was recommended in the Phoenix magazine, so I had to make a point to try it. It did not disappoint! It's a very small, family run business. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. I ordered the fried rice and Beef Chow Fun. Both dishes were great!“

“We enjoy the food they have offer here ! A friendly environment“

“AMAZING food and service!!! I will be coming again. Must try! Instantly felt welcome and comfortable.“

“First time eating there last night. Ambiance was great for dine in, friendly service, GOOD food with vegetarian options. Out of our way but worth the drive!“

“When I moved to AZ I was worried it would take awhile to find a good Chinese restaurant. Fortunately for me I stumbled in here first. Some of the best Chinese food I’ve had! I’ve eaten there twice both times were awesome!!! Staff is also very nice and helpful!“

“Always good food. Highly recommend“

“The food here is great! I did delivery and they were prompt and friendly! I ordered kung pao shrimp. The rice was perfect. The veggies were cooked just enough to retain their crispness and flavor. The shrimp were plump and delicious. The portions are large! The spring rolls are fresh and tasty! I have found my Mesa garden spot!“

“hidden gem, so happy they advertise so well with their big yellow sign! very GIRLY POP 💕 it’s clean in here! they have an awesome lunch special available. i was amazed by the huge variety and highly impressed with their presentation of the product!!!! i highly recommend the cucumber salad it is so refreshing and the wonton soup is flavorful! i will be back to explore more options!!!“

“Placed an online order about 40 min before closing. For that reason, I can't complain about freshness. The flavors were good given the circumstances. The amount of food was fair. I would order from here again but much earlier in the day.“

“Food Quality: 4.2/5
The food is very good overall and consistently enjoyable. Portions are especially generous, which is always a plus and makes the meal feel satisfying and worthwhile.

Service: 4.1/5
The staff is friendly and efficient, but service is very hands-off. You’ll need to ask for everything—silverware, sauces, and condiments are not provided unless requested. Once you ask, they’re happy to help. I don’t quite know why, but I feel like they’re trying to save money by not giving you the basic utensils to eat takeout unless explicitly asked for.

Cleanliness: 4.3/5
The restaurant appeared clean and well maintained during my visit, with no issues noted.

Atmosphere: 4.0/5
Simple and functional. This is a place focused more on food and value than ambiance, which works well for what it is.

Value for Money: 4.5/5
Large portion sizes really stand out and make this a strong value. You definitely feel like you’re getting more for your money here.“

“Absolutely loved this place. The highlight for me was the Shrimp Pan Fried Noodle. The portion size was massive. I ate a ton and it barely looked like I touched it, so the value for the money is incredible.

The restaurant itself has that authentic Asian-owned vibe both inside and out, which I personally love. You can tell right away the food is going to be legit, and it definitely delivered.

I’ve seen some of the other reviews, and honestly it feels like some people came in with the wrong expectations. If you come in open-minded and ready for real, hearty portions and authentic flavors, you’re going to enjoy it.

I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend giving it a try.“

“Really good Chinese restaurant that reminded me of the Chinese restaurants back home in New York City. The chicken wings were a little over seasoned with the curry powder, but everything else was spot on. Clean and spacious. Will definitely go back.“

“I first went in to pick up a Doordash order and it smelled so good I had to go back on the weekend to try it... it was one of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to in Arizona. The chicken was the crispiest chicken ever and that is what I was searching for. I can't want to come back and try something else.“

“Panda express never disappoints. This location is great because they have a drive thru and the drive thru has two lines. The workers here are nice and friendly. The drive thru went quickly and my food was still hot. Sometimes the orange chicken is too spicy but it is just right at this location! It is right off the freeway and usually doesn't have a lot of traffic!“

“I had an appointment in Gilbert and I was starving. I pulled into this plaza and saw Wild Ginger. I stopped in to do a take out order. I saw the pan fried noodles. ordered and swallowed the meal 😋. I added it to my Google maps to return so that I could dine in next time I was in the area. It took me several months to return but it was worth driving 32 miles to eat here along with some great friends. It's cozy and romantic and decor is nice. The servers need to be more friendly and engaging. I did like the consistency of the food from my first impression. We ordered pan fried noodles, Singapore noodles, pineapple fried rice and fried tofu for dessert. No disappointments.“

“I was shocked at how kind the staff were less than an hour before closing. Abi asked us how we’re doing (and seemed like she actually meant it), and when I asked if they had any shrimp left, I planned to say it was fine if they didn’t. Abi immediately politely asked another staff member to make fresh shrimp just for us, and the staff was talking and joking around while they prepared the food and had good vibes all around. I honestly never expected such a pleasant experience at a Panda Express, but especially not so close to closing. Thank you guys!!“
