50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Brisbane

“We just moved here from San Mateo and have had lots of amazing Chinese food but this is our favorite!!! It’s a special place and the gentleman inside is very pleasant each time I’ve gone and everything tastes home made and so delicious!. The food flavor is just amazing! We especially love the salt and pepper wings (the salt flavor is so tasty!! I don’t know what salt he uses but it’s so amazing) and it comes with a blend of green onions and other things sprinkled on top that are just awesome! The chicken fried rice is also amazing!!! Hot and sour soup also a favorite - you just have to go and at least try these few items. The other thing is it tastes healthier and less oily than other Chinese food we have had - sort of how it would taste if you make it at home! Best egg rolls we have ever had! It has a spice in it that really makes it taste good I think it might be allspice or cloves or something like that but wow! If you are in Brisbane you must try it!“

“Highly recommend! Excellent food and great service. Be sure to try the salt & pepper soft-shelled crab, braised pork belly, sweet & sour pork, BBQ pork, shrimp & chives, and the sesame balls. Everything comes out fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“Wonderful restaurant, Absolutely outstanding experience! This Chinese roast duck restaurant delivers perfection in every detail. The duck is incredibly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and carved with impressive skill right at the table. The flavors are rich but never greasy, and the accompanying pancakes, scallions, and sauces are all beautifully balanced.

The service is warm, attentive, and efficient, and the staff make you feel truly welcome. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable—perfect for both family gatherings and special occasions.“

“This was our first time trying House of Pancakes, and let's just say--the name is definitely misleading in the best way. While you might expect a traditional breakfast spot, this cozy, mom-and-pop-style restaurant serves up hearty Northern Chinese dishes packed with flavor.

We came with a large group of extended family and were impressed with how accommodating and friendly the staff were. They even made thoughtful dish recommendations based on our group size and preferences, which made the experience even better.

We ordered quite a bit to share:

Beef Pancakes (a house specialty)
Lamb Skewers (spicy and non-spicy)
Lamb Dumplings
Pork Dumplings
Lamb Stir-Fried Hand-Pulled Noodles
Fresh Cucumber Salad

Overall, the food was delicious and flavorful. That said, if you're not a fan of lamb (like me), just be aware that the lamb skewers and dumplings can be a bit gamey. The spicy skewers helped mask it a bit, thanks to a generous sprinkle of paprika.

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the lamb stir-fried noodles--the lamb in that dish was melt-in-your-mouth tender and tasted more like beef than lamb to me. Unfortunately, I couldn't try the beef pancakes due to dietary restrictions, but my cousins absolutely loved them and said they were a must-order.

The pork dumplings were a standout for me--juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And the cucumber salad was refreshing and balanced everything out nicely.

The restaurant has a small, casual diner vibe that gives it local charm--nothing fancy, but welcoming and perfect for sharing a flavorful meal with family or friends.“

“Superb! The cooking show is very nice!“

“This was the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever had in my entire life, and that’s saying something cause I’ve eaten at a lot of different Chinese restaurants. My brothers came with me and they agree. Anytime I’m in San Francisco I will come here.“

“I look forward to my next visit to Mamahuhu. They're always coming up with some creative items on the menu. But somehow I always end up going back to my favorite sweet and sour chicken. The lunch plate is the perfect size. There is rice and a side salad. This time, their crunchy cucumber slices with creamy sesame dressing is to die for. And they even have a vegan option! So satisfying! And I love my Pineapple Mint Tonic!“

“It's packed and it may take bit to be seated. You write your name and party size on the white board.

The dry fried chicken wings are the best chicken wings I've had. Juicy and crunchy with a nice sweet glaze. The green beans, dry black bean sauce noodles, and hot braised chicken were all good but the dry fried chicken wings were the standout!“

“The sesame chicken is DOPE. All the food is good. My friend really liked the Singapore noodles.

We ordered way too much food and ate delightedly eating leftovers all weekend.
The sesame chicken stays crispy somehow after the microwave.

No complains about any of the dishes.“

“I have nothing negative to say about this place. I’ve came here a hand full of times and every time the food is good, the service is efficient and I haven’t had to wait (yet). You know it’s good when my kids go back for seconds and thirds. The price is very decent too. This place is fairly clean. Parking is a bit of a pain but definitely worth it. The owner is some Chinese rapper and advocate for the community. There’s so much to like about this spot that it has earned a 5 star rating from me.“

“So good! They have many different combinations of dumpling fillings. We went with the three treasures, and the mushroom & chicken filling, one with soup and one without, they were both so good. The soup that it comes with is filled with seaweed, and a light savory broth. I highly suggest adding vinegar to the broth to bring out the flavor even more. And you make your own dipping sauce at the table for your dumplings as well.

Service was great, and the food came out quickly. Plenty of seating, with wall decorations.“

“Absolutely delicious! The food was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The skewers were tender, juicy, and packed with that authentic smoky spice that makes BBQ irresistible. The garlic eggplant was soft and fragrant, bursting with umami, and the vermicelli dish added a nice, tangy contrast. Everything was served hot and fresh, and the presentation made it even more appetizing. If you’re craving real, flavorful Chinese BBQ, this place is a must-try!“

“Yuanbao Jiaozi offers delicious, handmade dumplings packed with fresh flavor and satisfying texture. The menu features plenty of variety, from classic pork fillings to vibrant vegetarian options, all served hot and comforting. With quick service, fair prices, and consistently tasty dishes, it’s a standout spot for authentic, flavorful dumplings.“

“My first time ordering door dash for this restaurant and it did not disappoint!! I ordered 6 dishes total and it was only a little over $100 subtotal, wow, can't get this amount of food anywhere else in the bay area!! All the dishes came piping hot (thanks to the door dash driver) and each container was filled to the brim! I felt like this $100 was well spent, I'm so glad I found this little gem. You guys just earned another loyal returning customers :) please stay in business so I don't have to cook as much!“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Great dim sum. Friendly service. Great location in the fisherman’s wharf area where locals and tourists can enjoy the food and the scenary“

“Its hard to find a good jianbing in the bay but this little shop in chinatown hits the spot. Its a hole in a wall shop so the only seating you will find is the bench they set up near their shop. Its a nice grab and go place with friendly staff“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Very attentive and friendly staff. Atmosphere was quaint. Expected food to come out consistently together for group so that everyone could select their entrees and also eat the chow mein and/or rice with the meats and veggie options we selected. Would recommend the Mongolian beef and vegetable egg rolls!“

“食物美味，环境优美，服务很棒，下次再来“

“Lovely place to celebrate the Chinese New Year!“

“Just found out Serramonte Center has Yang Guo Fu in the food court 😂 Perfect spot for a hot bowl of malatang on a foggy Daly City lunch break. $14.99/lb with fresh veggies, meats, and three soup bases (beef bone, tomato, spicy dry). Loved the beef & lamb rolls, mushrooms, lotus root, and konjac for a lighter option. Their red oil wontons ($5.99) are freshly made and so tasty—can’t wait to try the dim sum they’re adding soon!“

“We went here for the first time and the food was so GOOD!! The beef noodle took me by surprise!! The soup was rich and the beef is very tender. We went there on a week day so the there's no line waiting and the food was delivered very quickly as well.

We ordered the oyster cake, beef noodle soup and the other noodles. Everything was so good and we will definitely come back again!!! So delicious!!“

“It is a strange place and the food is a twist of classic chinese... well, different for certain. But overall tasty. We had the fried garlic rice, cold noodle with peanut sauce, hot & sour soup, pork belly and fried lamb dumplings. My favorite was the pork belly, but it came with strange presentation with pineapple which wss just watery. Not sure if I'm coming back. But overall nice experience and we enjoyed the meal.“

“Food was good. Staff was friendly and was always around when you need them. Will definitely come back and recommend“

“At Empero Taste, one comes for the food (quality and quantity). It is best to come dine as a group to enjoy a more varied selection of dishes. There is a special set menu that can be customized to suit party size and add-on’s. One can see families with multi-generations enjoying dinners at a table-family style.
Among notable dishes, Live fish is a specialty that can be enjoyed 3 ways. The pork chops are a hit (the portion is huge).“

“I used to live in SF for a short while and been revisiting Hai Ky for 15 years. I think about the food here a lot - the craft is amazing. It's a regular topic in my group chat.
The broth is restrained but near perfect - the noodles are platonic ideal textures of gloss and chewiness. Glorious, bouncy and well dressed in whatever you get them in. The rice noodles are especially impressive- so fresh and well cooked . The main noodle dish is famous in south china (there's a Netflix china docu) and especially through Thailand Cambodia vietnam and they show the slight inflection of how we eat it in SE Asia. The condiments here are even perfect - just peer into the pristinely sliced chilis perfectly crisp in vinegar brine. Get the special w all the noodles and also the fried fish cake if they still have.
I'm sad to see how abandoned downtown SF and especially Tenderloin feels now on recent visits. A lot of restaurants are barely living anywhere let alone here. I hope selfishly they'll live on for many more years. Support them in all ways- and plz tip all the ppl well. Bless! 🥲“

“California-style Cantonese cuisine! I really like the decoration style here, which always makes me feel better when dining here. The golden lotus chandelier and the gold and silver wire lamp are definitely the best decoration! 👍The pastries here are also worth mentioning! Pineapple buns, wife cakes, black sesame banana cakes with miso sugar!“

“At this location, the fried garlic is served separately—a detail I truly appreciate. I also really enjoy their thin egg noodles, which strike a perfect balance between chewy and tender without becoming overly soft. However, the dish tends to be quite oily, so if you prefer lighter meals, this might not be ideal for you.

My usual order is the Number 1 without kidney, with the soup served on the side. I also always add fish cake as an appetizer. The total cost for two regular dishes plus one appetizer comes to $53.75.

What I love about this restaurant is how it evokes the authentic flavors of Thailand’s street food, especially the dry yellow egg noodles. While it doesn’t include traditional Thai-style char siu or wontons, the taste remains quite close to home.

This well-established Chinese restaurant impresses me with its surprisingly clean restrooms, likely due to my morning visits. Parking can be difficult, as only metered street parking is available. The branch tends to be busy, so clear communication with staff is important. Although there may be a short wait, the service is attentive and friendly.“

“The most authentic Hunan cuisine I've ever eaten!“

“This used to be my go to lunch spot when I was attending school nearby, nowadays I still make a visit when I am in the area where I am craving for some good Chinese food. Their menu consists of appetizers, soups, individual entrees, noodles, fried rice, lunch specials and much more. Everything is made to order here which is always a plus for me and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and understanding where I had never encountered an issue during any of my visits. Everything is authentic here and adjustments are upon request. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of a quick bite when in the area, if you are willing to try something new or if you just so happen to be in the area. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“We’d been meaning to try this place for over a year, but honestly, we were so burned out on the usual veg*n Chinese spots around the Bay that we kept putting it off. I’m so glad we finally went—because wow, what an incredible surprise.

Every single dish we tried (two entrées and three appetizers) was beautifully seasoned, full of flavor, and genuinely delicious. The variety on the menu is impressive, and for once, we didn’t hit a single miss. Everything just… worked.

If you’ve been feeling underwhelmed by other veg*n Chinese options, or just want to try something new, this spot will absolutely renew your excitement. Highly recommend. We’ll be back soon.“

“Nouvelle Asian cuisine. We enjoyed the tasting menu, which offered many delicious and artistically presented courses including two desserts, all for a reasonable (by San Francisco standards) $120 per person + drinks + taxes + tips, bringing the actual total to $200 per person.
The Happy Crane cocktail made is a gimlet style drink, small yet so tasty that one of us ordered two of them!
Each course was presented promptly. Understandably, given the rapid rise in popularity of this new dining spot, some of the wait staff appeared to be still in training. That said, servers were eager to please and friendly.“

“Love this place the wait and drive is worth it“

“The Dumplings are amazing!“

“Food is very authentic and taste good! Hunan cuisine are generally spicy, so might not fit little kid. Good thing the owner pointed us to the bakery shop across the street, which saved our day. Would definitely revisit the next time we are in town.“

“Everything is just great!!! From your time waiting till you’re served, is wonderful.“

“This place hits. I’m no foodie but when me and my parents want a quick meal, it’s hot, fresh, hits the spot for a great price. We’ve always liked what we get and plenty of leftovers that reheat pretty good. The lady there is truly super nice. Love this local spot“

“Actually really authentic food. It tastes so good and fresh. Service is great as each meal comes with tea and Super authentic. I enjoy ever since dish I’ve had so far especially the noodles. First time hearing my parents say a place is good lol.“

“Delicious meal with generous portions. Really love the salted fish dishes which reminds me of childhood home cooked meals. There’s a ton of options on the menu and dessert as well, and great value for the flavor and portion. I frequently return. Thanks Changs Kitchen“

“Our daughter is obsessed with soup dumplings which we found at Fusion Dumpling. The traditional pork were great, but try the black truffle and wagyu soup dumplings. You won't be disappointed!“

“In Chinatown classic! I had the pure Rice noodle combination. My husband had the curry chicken and we split the eggrolls. They give you complementary hot tea and they are awesome people not to mention they were playing the best 80s music!!“

“Love the Special Combo chow main ❤️👍🏼“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“I found out about this gem because a coworker told me about it. I am so glad I came here after a work meeting for lunch. It was a delicious lunch. I got the spicy beef noodle soup with extra spice and beef and the beef,lamb and fish dumplings. It was out of this world. The service was friendly and super attentive highly recommend.“

“I enjoyed my Meal. I found the service excellent and Ti curry yum.“

“Decent Chinese American fares, with really generous portions. The fog rolled in thick so their hot & sour soup hit the spot. Genuine chilli crisp on the table.

It seems they get their business mostly from takeout. Limited seating area only 3 small tables. Service is inattentive, though I did not come at a busy time. Missing utensils etc for my table.“

“Good place for a quick bite. The atmosphere and service are no frills, but the food is quite tasty.

We ordered the Chongqing Street Noodle (D11) and the Noodle with twice-cooked pork (D10). The portion sizes were good, but there was very little protein in either bowl. Aside from that, the noodles had a nice bounce to them and the broth was flavorful. Just beware that both were a bit spicy if you are sensitive to heat.“
