33 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lakewood Ranch

“I have ordered from them a few times now and their food is excellent! Their portions are always good, especially with the appetizers and wonton soup. Most restaurants give you 8 wontons and they give you 10 in a large soup. Their prices are good as well. I definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“The Rice Box - Sarasota: A Takeout Gem for Pan-Asian Cuisine

The Rice Box in Sarasota is a fantastic choice for takeout if you’re craving well-executed, flavorful Pan-Asian dishes. Our order included a Crab Rangoon appetizer, which was perfectly crispy on the outside with a creamy, delicious filling.
For mains, I had the Tofu in Bourbon Sauce, while my friend enjoyed the Three Meat Fried Rice—both were excellent. The flavors were spot on, and the food arrived exactly as we ordered it.
Portion sizes were generous, easily enough for two meals per person, making it an outstanding value for the price. Everything was well-prepared, fresh, and delicious, with no mistakes or missing items—a rarity for takeout!
If you’re looking for satisfying, high-quality Asian cuisine at a reasonable price, The Rice Box is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!“

“I’ve been here so many times I’ve honestly lost count. This is quite literally the best quick serve Chinese restaurant in the area. Their General TSO chicken is amazing and so is their sushi. What really sets this place apart from the rest is the freshness and quality of the chicken they use. The chicken pieces are huge and you can tell it’s totally fresh and not frozen. If you frequently do take out Chinese food and haven’t tried this place then you’re in for a treat. Just about every other take out Chinese restaurant seems to use the same type of chicken - excess breading, small pieces, rock hard crunchiness, etc. The Rice Bowl is truly a breath of fresh air - it’s always fantastic well cooked and you always get a full piece of chicken. Just the right amount of breading and you never feel like you’re biting into a solid piece of breading. Keep up the good work and don’t change a thing! :-)“

“My favorite chinese restaurant. Love their food and you get so much for your money. I get 3 meals out of everything I buy. I love a family owned business ike this.“

“We are so surprised Food is delicious even my friend is the chef and we like to search good food to eat. We all think it’s the best dim sum place in Tampa area. Food served hot and not just microwave warm. But We wish there is more variety of dishes . We will be back and really recommend to everyone.“

“UPDATED MENU AGAIN ** 08/31/2025 for price references..

Bradenton staple!! Very sweet owners, fresh and hot food, great portions for the price. Service used to be quicker but you can always call ahead!! Or you pull through the drive through and park until your order is ready. Prices and menu has changed since COVID so I am attaching a new picture of the menu.“

“Quite serviceable. Not gourmet sit down fine dining, and tables are basically used by folks waiting for their orders, but excellent for what it is, a strip mall take out joint.

The spice dishes are generally set for an American palate, so I could see someone who has a need for heat being disappointed. (I don't, and I don't know what happens if you ask for it spicy.) Unlike the spice, they do not hold back on the sugar, if it comes with a sweet-ish sauce, it will definitely be quite sweet - i.e. bourbon chicken, even Gen. Tso's is more sweet than hot.

The shop next door is a cigar bar, so for me, it's just as well it's take out. I don't smell it inside, but the sidewalk air is sometimes tainted and on those days I'm happy to let my nose reset on the drive home. And I do drive by a couple other places to get here.

I don't understand the criticism of the egg rolls in some reviews. They may not be outstanding hand rolled gems, and I feel pretty certain they are from the same supplier that services most (all?) of the similar take out places locally, but they are well executed, always fried to order hot, and really rise above with a dab of the hot mustard (not the insipid packets, but the little cups of the "good stuff" - not on menu, just ask).“

“Always great. The food is not salty or oily. The Dim Sum menu offers a wide selection with no bad choices. Fast friendly service. Clean and inviting atmosphere. Lots of parking. This place is a real gem. Nothing like it within 50 miles.“

“I don’t typically make food reviews, but I will say this is worth it. The food here is phenomenal. When I finished eating,I was completely stuffed and hardly made a dent in my food. I have at least three meals worth of food left over and I got everything for around $18. The service is relatively fast. I only waited about 10 minutes, which is good because I don’t really have time on my lunch break. 10/10 service and I will definitely be back.“

“This is the chinese restaurant you should eat at. The food and portions are excellent , as well as the remarkable customer service. The first time I went here a few weeks ago I ordered lomein with a special request of extra spicy(which was great) and then a week or so later accidentally ordered chow mein, and the woman behind the counter recognized my extra spicy request and called, waited and made sure i had ordered the right dish... So kind. I also cannot stress enough that the servings are huge. Thank you guys and everyone give this place a try.🙂“

“Absolutely amazing. The food was piping hot, fresh, and SO flavorful. You can tell everything was made to order — nothing tasted like it had been sitting around. The portions were HUGE (like two-meals-from-one-plate huge).

The fried rice was perfectly seasoned, the lo mein was packed with flavor and not greasy, and the broccoli and chicken were cooked just right — tender with a nice bite. The crab rangoons were crispy and stuffed, and the egg roll was golden and crunchy. Even the sauces tasted fresh.

Everything was hot when I opened it and stayed hot while eating, which honestly makes such a difference. You definitely get your money’s worth here.

Will 100% be back. 🔥🥡❤️“

“Because of many positive reviews I elected to try China Village Passes the eye test So far the smell test Now for the taste test Chicken chow mein General Tso’s Pork fried rice Egg rolls Spring rolls Broccoli and garlic sauce Very tasty 8/10 Maybe 9/10“

“Love the Krab Rangoon. I see a few reviews complaining about it not having any fake crabmeat and that’s fine with me. I’ve never had a bad meal from this restaurant in the 3 years I’ve been getting my to go fix from them. It’s a little pricey but so is everything else.“

“This is our go-to Chinese restaurant in Lakewood Ranch! They are consistently on time, accurate, and delicious. Their prices are very reasonable for how much food you get, and we have never had an issue with missing items or inaccurate orders. The food is always ready quickly. The staff are polite, professional, and friendly. We have gotten Taste of China for guests and family in the area and never had a single complaint.“

“Typical no frills chinese take out experience. The service was kind and it was quick. The food itself is a touch above the standard take out quality you experience around these parts. Lot of reminded me of back up North especially the fried rice. The general tso was crispy and had those sweet sugary crisped edges I love in this dish, the eggrolls were crispy and not oily (the shrimp eggroll was a touch on the salty side)...My family was happy and we would return.“

“Quality food, staff and ambiance“

“Have lived in Parrish for 10 years, and this has ALWAYS been my family's to-go spot for great food to eat together!! Food is always hot, delicious, and perfectly portioned. We always get 2 large general tso's chickens, 1 small sweet and sour chicken, 1 large fried rice, 1 large white rice, crab rangoons, and 1 large mixed vegetables. ALWAYS consistent, always enjoyable. Most requested dinner place by far in our family!! 🩷🩷“

“Always delish and hot! We love this place...a must!“

“I had a large carryout order for a staff party and ordered 48 hours in advance. I spoke with the manager by phone due to a language barrier and was able to have my large order with special requests translated to the cooks. I did pay a deposit which was deducted from final payment. All the food was ready on time, staff were helpful and they helped put all the food in the vehicle. The food was Fantastic and Fresh!!! I recommend them for carry-out any time!“

“Second time I've gotten delivery from here and both times they were super fast with it. I got the dragon meets Phoenix and asked for extra spicy and it came with a ton of chicken and shrimp. I highly recommend this place if you haven't tried it yet“

“This is the Chinese restaurant with the most reasonable prices!!I order from them on DoorDash and it’s absolutely good food and big portions.Other places charge you double and are not better!this has to be said here and be appreciated.
Great place“
