50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Brisbane

“Quick review for a quick take out plate.

I ordered the Orange Chicken plate with fried rice. It’s my first time trying this place so tried something basic. The dish overall was good. I loved the sauce. Just the right amount of sweet and sour with a little bit of a spicy kick. The fried rice was great. Flavorful and you can feel each individual grain in a nice way. The letdown to me was the chicken. I think the breading was too thick. I couldn’t tell where the breading ended and the chicken started. The breading had a nice crunch to it but it was just too much and not enough chicken imo.

The staff was nice and friendly. The service was quick. I think I was in and out inside of 10 minutes and there were a few people ahead of me as well.

Overall, I liked the food and will come back to try the other dishes despite my negative opinion of the Orange Chicken.“

“Great spot for dimsum. Service is super friendly and fast. Everyone was so great. Even though there are no push carts, I actually appreciate it because everything is FRESH and not sitting around for hours. Can't recommend enough. Don't miss this spot“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the city and the best Peking Duck I've ever had... every, anywhere. The host is amazing and all the servers are cool and super nice. If you can, seat near the chef that's cutting up the duck, watching him work is awesome.“

“I hesitate to leave a review lest this hidden gem of a place get discovered by too many people. I'm surprised there isn't a line out there door to get these dumplings - tasty little morsels of perfection. And the hand pulled noodles are chewy and so satisfying. While we thoroughly enjoyed the chicken chow mein, beef noodle soup and 2 different kinds of soup dumplings, we agreed that we'd need to come back and make our way down the menu. Many combinations of flavors to choose from.“

“I got the kid sized boba tea sundae and it's alright. Ice cream was more on the icey side. The sauce tasted caramel to me - I expected brown sugar or honey syrup. Boba was good. I'm not sure if it's intentional but the rice cracker was stale to me.“

“I tend to rate my stars mostly for food. I Had the Mongolian beef lunch. Everything came out how I hoped with a pretty good amount. The place is small, it can take a large party but I'm not sure how it is on the highest demand hours, but I got in just fine. The service was acceptable. But as I'm writing this an hour later, I'm feeling very satisfied.“

“Superb! The cooking show is very nice!“

“This place is your typical Chinese cozy restaurant. If you’re looking for cleanliness like a PF Chang’s, this is not your place. There was a knat flying around. The women working were nice. The prices have definitely increased from the menu photos I saw on Google. If you’re coming here, you’re coming for the food and not the ambiance.
I ordered the string beans, eggplant, and beef pancake (apparently they’re known for this).
The egg plant was really tasty. I meant to choose the one with tofu but I ended up pointing to the picture which was without tofu. The egg plant was a tad spicy but very tasty.
The beef pancake was good too. I would recommend getting all these.“

“San Tung is definitely worth the visit! Their famous chicken wings absolutely lived up to the hype—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated with a perfectly balanced sweet and garlicky sauce. Every bite was delicious! The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. The restaurant was busy, but the service was efficient, and the food came out fresh. If you’re in San Francisco, this place is a must-try. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The beef noodles soup is one of the best in the bay area with the broth so clear and most tasty of all beef soup. The hand made noodles tasted so fresh.
The soup dumpling was steamed to order so it took a bit long but came out deliciously.
Would like to come back and try the chive cake and cucumber salad.
Service was friendly.“

“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!“

“I had their pot stickers variety tray! Nothing but delightful 💟“

“Great place for home style Cantonese comfort food. Good quality and value. Portion sizes are generous. Service is quick and efficient. Sunday evenings are packed for family dinners. Mid week it was relaxed as locals came and went to grab their takeout or grab a quick dinner. Every dish was spot on. Check out the Crispy Skin Chicken or Curry Beef Stew.“

“The dumplings were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The wrappers were soft and perfectly cooked, while the filling was juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned. Each dumpling tasted fresh and was made with quality ingredients. The portion was generous, and the dipping sauce added the perfect amount of extra flavor. Overall, these were some of the best dumplings I’ve had, and I would definitely come back again“

“i’ve never had beef this tender in pho and the soup was full of flavor as well. when we had a problem with the food, they were so quick to make things right without an issue. service was very friendly and we didn’t feel rushed at all. would recommend“

“Lovely place to celebrate the Chinese New Year!“

“the absolute best way to recover from 20k steps walking around SF. what a treaattt!

The beef lamb and fish one is the best one that we had. Fish mushroom and shrimp chive egg ones were also good. Pork ear salad really opens up the appetite before the dumplings.

Overall, super cool place especially to watch the dumplings get made!“

“This is by far the best hot pot that I have ever been to. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the food and broth were delicious. They had a variety of vegetable, meat, and seafood options, and the sauce bar was clean and well-stocked. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Good portions and a clean interior. It was pretty empty around 5:30 but started filling up by 6:30. Hospitality could use some work. No one greeted us when we walked in, so we waited about 5 minutes to be seated despite it being fairly empty. Once the food arrived, we were seated in a corner and had trouble flagging down a server for the check. The staff should be more attentive and check in more regularly but food was good“

“This was our first time eating at Soul Rice. When we entered, we saw how many people were eating in and how many people were picking up their dinner orders. From the moment we went in, we were greeted by Angelo who took care of us while we dined in the restaurant. We ended up ordering the Kung Pao Tofu, Walnut Shrimp with Pumpkin as well as the Chicken Curry Rice. Everything tasted absolutely delicious. We were quite impressed with the food, and definitely plan on coming back!“

“Giving 5 stars for their free drink.

ordered the duck and mushroom soup, pan fried buns, and their combo D which included wonton soup and noodles with peanut sauce

duck and mushroom soup was the worst thing we ordered. $10 for a tiny pot the height of a toilet paper roll, but narrower and with thick walls. would recommend to those who like stringy and still half dried mushrooms.

the pan fried buns were good, though they were on the oilier side. very fragrant, and tasted delicious with their vinegar.

the wonton soup was the best out of everything ordered and tasted quite delicious, but the wontons themselves were low quality—they were small, which is fine, but the filling tasted like fish balls and not actual meat.

the noodles were a bit disappointing. they were soggy and the sauce was probably something you could make at home with peanut butter, soy sauce, and sesame oil. their menu says that the pictures are for reference only, and that's very true. the noodles looked completely different from the picture on their menu, whether it was portion size, color, or even noodle shape.

they had complimentary side dishes and the spicy tofu skin was great. nobody told us they were available, though, and we found out when we were going to use the restroom.

true rating is overall 3 stars, not great or incredibly authentic, but also not the worst“

“Everything, up definitely can’t pick a bad item“

“Omg this might be the best chinese skewer place in the Bay. The flavor is amazing and the decor is so on point too. I love the veggie skewer options they have (must get a-choy and chives) and the meat skewers are tender too. I really wished they had a fried rice addition since that would go so well with the skewers.

I would recommend you join the waitlist before coming in person since it’s usually really busy. I would come back here many times!!“

“The best hot pot ever this is my second time with my family and we love it. The only problem is the parking it take us 30 minutes looking for parking.“

“Loved this place! Great food and great service! We ordered the mapo tofu, mushu vegetables, and chicken with string beans. Everything tasted great and came out quickly. I highly recommend coming here. There are lots of vegetarian options too.“

“Solid Korean and Chinese food Restaurant. My husband and I favorite food is their spicy marinated raw crab so addicting and delicious. We usually order the crispy garlic scallops, HK noodles and crispy garlic string beans. So far majority of their food has been really good and tasty. All the staff are friendly and courteous. The owner is husband and wife they are so friendly and very welcoming so pleasant to talk to. Their portion is big“

“食物美味，环境优美，服务很棒，下次再来“

“TLDR: decent selection and good quality ingredients but soup wasn’t very rich in flavor

I had the pork bone soup and it tastes salty but didn’t have much pork bone flavor. The quality of the ingredients were decent including the Wagyu beef which came out cooked nicely. 2 of us got to around $40 after tax and tip which isn’t really that expensive at all“

“Delicious food, large portions, affordable price. Run by the sweetest lady who was so patient and helpful. I ordered at the restaurant and I didn’t have to wait long for my order to be ready. I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this place! I will certainly be back for more, after I finish the week’s-worth of leftovers. Just a heads up, it’s takeout only but don’t let that deter you.

Edit: came back again because the food was so delicious and affordable the first time around. This time I got general Cho’s chicken, tofu with vegetables (similar flavoring to the cashew chicken but no cashews), and pork fried rice (heaped with lots of pork!) I also got the cream cheese wontons which were divine“

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

“Benson and his wife are amazing and I'm happy to say that me and my family are regulars with them. We don't go there as often, but when we do, we always order from them. From time to time me and my father would have lunch there and chat with Benson and his wife. They're great folks and hard working. The restaurant is great, food is great, and the neighborhood that they're located in is great. Cozy and quiet, not too crazy, bustling but just enough to know that you can enjoy your food without rushing out the door.

Benson, or his wife, if you're reading this, you guys are great.“

“I absolutely adore this place! I’ve been coming here for roughly 5 years and the food is absolutely scrumptious! I’m a creature of habit, so my go-to bowl of noodles here is the Chongqing Street Noodles. It’s so hearty and flavorful with the most deliciously chewy hand pulled noodles! I also love the peanuts and they make it perfectly spicy when I request for it. Also, the prices are super reasonable and the portions are ample.

It’s never super busy and they have searing both inside and outside. The lady who takes orders is super sweet and efficient. I love the robot that brings the food to the table! It’s always a hoot to watch. All in all, this is some of the best and most unique noodle soup that you’ll find in Oakland! I love it to pieces!“

“I’m here to spread the gospel: this is the best Chinese food in the entire Bay Area. The vegetables are super fresh, you can tell on the first bite. Yes, the publicity is not… flattering. But: the food is undeniable, and the entire place super clean and well cared for. I find any excuse to drive down south to eat here. Long live Chez Xue.“

“This place is as authentic as you can get. It’s a gem cause not many places serve rice rolls “肠粉”. This place is no frills - you order at the counter and pick it up there yourself. The food is served on disposable plates. There’s a wide variety of sauces provided for you to add yourself to your food. The special soya sauce is the best and most original way of eating it. I had the rice roll express special - it was alright. The wantons were decent but the soup was lukewarm and barely had any taste in it. The soy milk was freshly made in house. More effort could be invested in keeping the tables clean. Overall - this place is a gem if you’re looking for a real Chinese experience without breaking the bank.“

“I am very delightful to have found a Chinese cuisine nearby Marina neighbourhood! The atmosphere was very homey and staff were really warm and welcoming!

Food was so good! I especially love the sweet and sour fish. Quite crunchy on the outside but very tender and flavourful on the inside. My daughter who is not a fan of fish can't get enough of it!

The price of each meal was affordable and the food portion was generous. Also a lot of varieties you can choose from.

Already recommended to my friends and will definitely come back!“

“Was visiting Cali for a couple of days and my cousin recommended I check out Malatown Express. You can really taste the flavor and freshness in the food. The entire restaurant was perfectly clean, and their attention to customer service was outstanding. Kevin, in particular, provided excellent customer service and attention, frequently checking on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area!“

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

“Great spot for all things dimpling, noodles, and cooked veggies! I came here for the first time on a trip 2 years ago and had to make a special trip back this time. My whole family loves it. We got a variety of noodles, dumplings and veggies. Our favorite things were the Dan Dan noodles and green beans. It’s located right next to Japan town in a cute shopping area. Will be back next time we’re in town!“

“After my friend took me here, I came back the very next day and bring my other friends. It's a hidden authentic chinese restaurant. Food is very good. Price is very fair or even on the cheaper side. Dish portion is big.. The parking is a little bit not easy during busy hours. Only one lady serves the tables. She was quite busy.
Very happy knowing this place and will be back.“

“loved it! duck was delicious!“

“Open once more and the Rice Noodle Rolls are back to original Grant Street quality with thicker noodle wrap outsides and more bbq pork inside! Same with the bbq pork Chow Mein!!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Nan Hot Pot! The hot pot was delicious, with fresh ingredients, flavorful broth, and a great variety of meats and vegetables. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves Chinese hot pot!“

“I real hole in the wall. No big sign so you have to know.

The best jianbing I've had outside of China. Crispy and not too salty. My wife said it's authentic Tianjin style.

The soy milk was amazing! Very smooth and slightly sweet even though it wasn't sweetened. No burnt taste.

Alas, he was out of tea eggs.

Friendly.“

“Very good food“

“We just finished a delicious meal… we had a plate of “Combination Fried Rice, General Tso’s Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Orange Chicken, and Pork Pot Stickers” and everything was very tasty. I must apologize for the pictures showing our half eaten food but it looked so good I forgot to take pictures before we started eating.“

“I was walking by and saw the large boba tea sign and decided to check out the place. I tried the Mango Pamelo Sago with 25% sweet and it was delicious. Friendly and helpful people too .
I will try some of the food items the next time I am there“

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

“The food was great, I liked it very much, I will go again next time“

“LetsSweet Kitchen is a Hong Kong chaan Teng restaurant in San Francisco South the market neighborhood, across the street from the Porsche dealer. We were in the area and decided to give them a try. Highly rated at 4.9 on Google, 4.7 on Yelp.

The place is clean, Service, friendly and food solid. Prices are higher than Chinatown, of course. Parking is a lot easier here. If you're in the neighborhood and want some Hong Kong style Chinese food, this is a good bet. If you're intimidated by Chinatown, this is a great place to go.

Food Picks:
Brad beef brisket rice with four piece wonton ($22.99) is a special during lunch and includes a drink. Ample quantity and good wontons and sold braised brisket flavor. The Hong Kong milk tea was strong and not too sweet. 8.5/10

Black pepper pork chop and onion over rice ($16.85) had reasonable quantity and was cooked just fine. The sauce was on the peppery side. 8.5/10.

Overall - Very Good
Food - Good
Decor - Very Good
Service - Very Good
Value - Good

Would we come back - Maybe“
