12 Best Chinese Restaurants near Downtown

“Best Chinese food in the area! I’ve been living in this area for few years and I just found out this place. Family owned business with fresh food everyday. Their crab Rangoon is the best! I have also tried beef broccoli and noodles which are tasty too. Should have explored earlier and can’t wait to introduce this little restaurant to my friends!“

“Love the food and the amazing service. The older gentleman that owns the place runs a tight ship. He’s always courteous and delivers good value for the money. Plus, they are one of the few Chinese restaurants in town that offers a poo poo platter. If you’re looking for a charming environment to eat in, this is not the place. This is more for people that are looking for quality Chinese food that’s either takeout or delivery.“

“Interestingly inconsistent. Ive ordered the same thing, a chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce combo on many occasions. There's been times I've just thrown it in the garbage, but whoever was cooking Saturday May 31st made a fantastic chicken & garlic sauce combo. That guy should teach whoever makes the main stuff on slow days, because that guys food was 100x better. Still got to give it a 4 anyways. Nice people and all that stuff.“

“Great atmosphere and super friendly staff!
We got the lunch specials which came with generous portions for just under $20.
The food got the job done and is good Chinese food.
Pictured is the General Sao, which had the right amount of kick.“

“I went there just before closing last night. I have been out of work and eating nothing but soup and salad for the past two months.
Finally, I have been working again and had enough money to eat better, so I ordered their seafood delight.
The quality was so amazing... I devoured it alone🤣. I'm ordering it again tonight.😋. Very friendly people and very clean !!
6 star review from me !!“

“This is literally the only edible Chinese food in Venice. It’s not my all time favorite, because I come from NJ and NYC where the greatest Chinese takeout in the country is. But there are some pretty good things here, which is excellent compared to every other place in Venice. The wonton soup, boneless spareribs, sweet and sour pork, egg roll and general tso’s chicken are all good. I go here sometimes once a week and don’t get tired of it. The only things I haven’t liked from here are the bourbon chicken, which was really dry and needed a lot more sauce and the fried rice, I really don’t like the fried rice here. It’s the only place I’ve ever asked for white rice with a combination platter. The service is the fastest I have ever comes across. My food is always ready in 5 minutes without fail. It’s definitely worth a visit. It’s 4 stars in Venice. In Sarasota, it would be more like 3 stars. Still good either way.“

“Best Chinese in town! I ordered online & tried the Shrimp with broccoli and fried rice. It’s delicious & hot when I got there to pick it up. I’ve also had the fried chicken wings before & those were amazing too! The only thing I will say is that the crab Rangoons are okay, they are tiny. Still giving them 9/10, thank you!“

“Ordered despite some really negative reviews. Was ready within 10 minute for pickup. Hot, fresh, good flavor chicken chow mein lunch special. A very generous portion and included a drink for just under $10. Photo taken after eating about half. Generous portion indeed.

Added photo of lunch special Moo Goo Gai Pan also good and significant portion.“

“This is the best most delicious Chinese food place I have ever eaten, always very fresh and tasty and well seasoned ,simply the best.
I am local and buy food from this place weekly
Chef’s special - House special Eggplant and Edamame ! ?
My favorite!“

“This used to be my go-to place, but my last experience was bad. They only had brown rice as a side. My bowl was probably 80% rice, 10% broccoli, and maybe 10% chicken. I was so sick of rice that I threw half of it away. I came in again today (1/6/24) around 10:30, and my experience was so much different. The shorter lady who prepared my food was very friendly and apologized for my wait, even though my wait was mostly due to the 3 slow customers before me. She ended her break and quickly prepared my food. She allowed me to split my side between super greens and chow mein. I ordered the Teryaki chicken. I felt she was very generous with it. My bowl was more like 30-40% chicken, and the rest split between the sides. The chow mein tasted fine. The super greens were a tad greasy. I assume they make it on the same grill as some of the meat. I thought they tasted really good. If you're a healthy veggie purest, you might disagree. I wanted to leave a few dollars for the staff due to my positive experience, but I did not see a tip jar. They did have a charity jar. Thank you to the staff for the filling meal.“

“We are here visiting family and wanted something other than fast food and burgers.
THIS PLACE IS A HIDDEN GEM. Fresh food made to order and it was great. Very tasteful and the family is full. Thank you for the great experience we will be back.“

“I made a large group order for work on Saturday for about 20 people which I placed on Friday. The staff here is exceptionally friendly and very helpful. Placing the order was nice and easy and when I picked it up the next day everything was ready on time, they helped me load my car and packaged everything securely in boxes so there would be no leakage.
The food portions were plentiful and everyone absolutely loved their lunch!!! Thank you so much for making our Saturday lunch special.
You have a great team and amazing food!!“
