11 Best Chinese Restaurants near Downtown

“It is very hard to find Sweet and Sour Chicken that is crispy after delivery. New China Spring has the best sweet and sour chicken, hot and sour soup, Mongolian beef and shrimp fried rice. Delivery never takes longs and the delivery person is always sooo friendly.“

“Love this local restaurant! Takeout is always fresh and tasty. They are always very kind and friendly when we pick up our food, also seems like a family business which I can appreciate. We like to get the crab Rangoon, chicken and broccoli and hot and sour soup. We will continue to order from this spot!“

“I ordered a gluten-free and dairy-free meal from this Chinese restaurant, and I was so impressed with how careful and attentive they were with the preparation. They took my dietary restrictions seriously, and the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I really appreciate how cautious they were about cross-contamination. Highly recommend this place, especially if you have dietary restrictions!“

“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.“

“I just moved here from NJ/NY. My whole life I've been warned the Chinese food and pizza in Florida is trash. Completely untrue as far as Chinese goes. The Wonton soup and boneless ribs are amongst the best ive ever had. Everything else is NY quality, if that is still a compliment.“

“I've taken out from here twice now. The food is just fine. Exactly what you would expect. Maybe a little better. The restaurant looks neat and clean on the inside. I do have a criticism about the service. Specifically the packaging. If you're going to put a full container that will spill sauce into the bag you really should double bag it with plastic. I bought an order of moo shu beef yesterday evening. I was pretty unhappy when I dripped brown sauce all the way through my house and then realized it was on my truck seat. Luckily I cleaned it before it stained permanently. By the time I got the bag in the house I'm lucky the entire dinner didn't fall through the bottom that's just how much it spilled.“

“Tasty chinese food with good quality ingredients. This take out restaurant is clean and attractive with ample seating for eating in also. The staff is friendly, happy, and they were super helpful to me with preparing my food without some ingredients I'm allergic to.“

“Over 29 years going there and favorites are pork low main and hot and sour soup. Lunch is served now in a smaller round container which is a mistake. Pork, ,noodles, and veggies are packed on top of the rice and this sucks up the excellant sauce. Rice should be on the side of the rest with extra sauce in between. It used to be that way years ago and should go back to that even with less food packed in. The best Chinese food we know in Venice!!!!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and you guys are always there for me. I was alone for Thanksgiving and most restaurants were closed but you were open for me. I really wanted Chinese food on Chinese New Year and you made that possible. I was alone on 4th of July but you guys were open for me. Amazing Kung Pao Chicken. God bless you all“

“I had an a little issue with miscommunication, using my rewards and gift card in store. Mona and manager Allyana were so kind to help me fix the issue and compensate! I truly appreciate the kindness that went forth and helping to resolve the issue! Thank you“
