25 Best Chinese Restaurants near Burlington

“We are lucky enough to live only 10 mins away but if we did not I would be driving here anyways. The best Chinese food in the area for sure, why others gave low scores I have no idea. Owners are always so pleasant when we come for take out, and it is super fast. If you have not tried them you should.“

“Best Chinese food around!!

They happily modify our orders to accommodate our needs and preferences. Always deliver surprisingly fast and with a smile. And whenever there's an issue, they make it up ten fold.

Couldn't recommend higher!“

“Love this chinese take out restaurant, IMO the best in the area, General TSO is phenomenal and boneless spare ribs melt in your mouth. One thing i like about this place is you can order 100$ worth of food and its 10 minute till pick up. Fast and friendly.“

“Ask anyone in Bristol whether in person or on various social media pages, they’ll say Sun Fat Chinese is one of the best in the area. By the looks of it, at any given day..it’s always busy, so it’s by far the most popular Chinese restaurant in the area…I won’t say the best.
Quick Note - Pretty much all the Chinese restaurants in this area all charge the same and the meals are the same..look at the menu, select food, pay and wait for it. The ones up here also give you a choice of egg roll or soup to go with your lunch order..that’s not just here, but ALL of the restaurants here in the Bristol/Plainville area.
Food - I’ve been here on a couple of times and have tried various items from the pepper steak to the chicken and broccoli to the sesame chicken. It’s all your standard Chinese food restaurant..I don’t see where it is that far ahead of all the rest. Sesame Chicken was good…but not fantastic. You get a heaping portion of it but a ton of rice as well. The egg roll is sometimes soft, other times hard enough to go through a brick wall.
Parking - It’s in the strip mall next to Subway in the MarketEdge/Price Chopper on Farmington Ave/Route 6/72.
I’m giving it 4* total for a couple reasons…first being, no..I didn’t do a phone order..I never do on anything, it’s always as a walk-in. Got there at 2:55, went to order the lunch and was told “it ends at 3.”…I know, it’s not 3pm yet..I’m not one to argue so I said it is whatever and just give me the regular portion then…so because of that and the egg roll being rock hard, I’d give it on a 1-5…3.8-4.1“

“the best chinese in CT not just torrington, taste just like ny chinese food brought me back to the good ole city days everytime i go. They only take cash but prices is cheap the mom that runs the place is so nice and so helpful all the cooks show love when you come in as well. Honestly the only place i get chinese from now.“

“During my vacation, I had the pleasure of enjoying some great East Coast Chinese food. The spare ribs were thick yet delicious, and my sister opted for the General Tso’s chicken, which she really liked. Personally, I preferred the ribs. We also shared some egg rolls that were delightful. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience.“

“Excellent. Never disappoints ❤️“

“November 2024 - Looking for a new Chinese place, we chose the Chinatown Restaurant in Canton. Checking out the online menu, some details were left out about some of the items, so I called before a family member picked up our takeout.

Very helpful, it sounded like the Chef himself as he was busy cooking, he told me they only had one dumpling, not a choice of vegetable or pork. They put both together. He also said the House Lo Mein consisted of shrimp, chicken and pork.

Our takeaways were as follows:
The egg roll and shrimp roll had the same crispy wrapping and were both good. The spring rolls were not to our family member's liking as they had what all of the Chinese places around us currently have which is a paste of some kind in the center. I will have to try these myself to see what they mean.

The wonton soup was very good. The right temperature, wonton dough not too dense, filling was pure and the broth was flavorful.
Their dumplings were also cooked expertly, but one family member found the combination unsatisfying as there wasn't either enough meat or vegetables to their liking. The rest of us enjoyed them, though I realize if you're a vegetarian you cannot get dumplings here as in other restaurants where they make both.

Mains: The winner was General Tso's chicken. I never order it, but so many people do and it always seems like a winner overall. The serving was plentiful, the chicken was tender with a soft coating and a little broccoli on the side, which is common with this dish.

The beef and broccoli also had tender meat, a good sauce and was a good portion size. The only negative was the broccoli stalks were too long and undercooked. A large container of well cooked white rice came to share with this meal and the Tso's chicken.

The House Lo Mein did not look anything to me like what I would get in California, but even after so many years back home in CT, I'm still adjusting to these differences. What looked like a container of brown noodles with a little bit of addons, I asked, is this mine? Yes, was the response as everyone was happy to run off with theirs. Fortunately, it tasted better than it looked presentation wise. Still, I could only have two servings before giving the other half away for someone else's lunch the next day.

Our favorite thing we all agreed they did the best with this order, was their House Fried Rice with an added egg. Perfectly made with shrimp, chicken, pork, the egg and some fresh peas.

Plenty of fortune cookies were included in the bag, along with chopsticks and a variety of sauces. They do have indoor seating. Maybe six tables? The owners are very polite and accommodating. Open six days a week basically 11Am - 10Pm. Closed Mondays and most holidays. Plenty of parking as they are within a small shopping plaza.“

“Normally…Sun Fat or Lotus are my to-go spots for Chinese food here in the Bristol area..but someone wanted Chinese and said to try this place because it’s excellent. My main thing when trying a new place is the Sesame Chicken..very basic and easy to tell if you have to add something to it.
Last night..I got the sesame chicken combo..instead of like most places where you have to request them to cook it soft (because it’s usually hard or clumpy)..not this place. It was almost like the style you get when you do the chicken and broccoli. It had excellent flavor and so did the pork fried rice..I didn’t need to add any soy or duck sauce..it was that good.
Normally…when eating Chinese food, as with anyone, you get that bubble gut feeling or you’re hungry an hour later…this was the first time I sat and ate the whole thing in one sitting..AND wasn’t hungry afterwards. I forgot to do the picture til I was halfway through and even then I wanted to continue to dig in.
Definitely a 4.7 out of 5 and/or 9.5 out of 10.“

“I think wah lung was better when they were on the corner on west end Bristol but I still think they are good anyway. I hope things work out for them going forward bc they seem really nice and have good food. no parking really and they do not have coupons anymore so that stinks but looks clean inside“

“What an absolutell delightful experience. The restaurant was very clean. When I walked in I was immediately greeted with such an upbeat and shining personality. I felt very welcomed. I had ordered the pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and general tso's chicken combo. The food was very fresh and light. Very delicious! Highly recommend!“

“China Delight is the perfect choice for a delicious takeout experience. The ordering process is quick and easy, and the staff is friendly and efficient.

The food arrives beautifully packaged and still hot. The dumplings is a must-try. It's perfectly steamed and bursting with flavor. I went in at a slow time, I enjoyed the small talks and was given a sample for general tos chicken. They are a must try. Best chinese in winsted.“

“Our favorite spot for Chinese takeout! Everything is always fresh, hot, and delicious ? This is the best General Tso's chicken around!“

“Very tasty. I got the chicken teriyaki skewers and the general tso chicken combo with pork fried rice.
Everything was hot and fresh. My only gripe would be I would like a little bit more sauce on the general tso chicken. Otherwise this is a super solid local Chinese takeout spot and their prices are very reasonable“

“The ramen here is so good!! They never skip out on their portions, I also love the streamed dumplings and egg rolls as well. There was one time where my order was taking a while to be made and they were communicative on how long the wait was. The staff is very nice and understanding! Definitely coming back here for sure!“

“Great food. But menu online needs to be updated. It’s from 2016.“

“Love this restaurant, they always deliver fast and the food always is so good“

“I’ve been looking for a decent Chinese delivery place in Bristol for a while and took a chance here today, and I’m glad I did! By far some of the best Chinese food Ive had in a very long time! Literally from the first bite I knew I was coming here to review. It reminds me of my family’s old favorite spot by the same name in West Hartford and brought back some nostalgia. Will be ordering from here again and again.“

“The service and staff are amazing great people. The food is delicious and healthy and makes me feel happy. The lady at the front is genuinely the nicest and kindest person I've ever met and she always cares for us and gives us a lot of free food. 5 stars. New favorite place in unionville will definitley come again.“

“Love this place! Have been coming here for almost 2 years now. The drunken noodle is my fav!“

“Really liked it!! Thank you, very friendly and great food!!“

“We ordered lunch specials sweet and sour chicken, boneless spare ribs and wonton soup. The sweet and sour chicken was juicy and the rice is delicious requesting no veggies in it which they did ( some forget) big pieces of pork in the rice. The boneless spare ribs were thin and tender and the rice with vegetables is excellent. Wonton great broth with alot of wontons. They threw in a vegetable roll excellent and not greasy. We were very happy they delivered earlier then they said The only thing I regret is not giving the driver a bigger tip!“

“The Bristol area is fortunate to have this very inexpensive Chinese restaurant! The Lee Po family has worked ceaselessly for decades and continues serving the community through the pandemic providing a variety of dishes made with fresh ingredients. Good food and reasonable prices to feed a family !“
