30 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lakewood Ranch

“Easily some of the best NY-style Chinese food in the area! Mae at the front is always friendly and knows her customers well, to the point I don’t even say my name or number and she knows who I am. Best place around, online ordering is easy too!“

“So much fun! A great date night idea. Randy was super helpful for first-timers. Beautiful atmosphere!“

“Great food, very tasty and laden down with sugar (General To’s chicken). We have been here a few times and every selection has been great. The Egg Rolls are one of the best we have ever experienced (wow). Friendly and great service too… we plan on frequenting this place regularly because of the reasonable prices 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“We dine with Josie for my daughters birthday tonight. So impressed with her knowledge of menu and happy attitude. We come eat here lots and tonight was a very special experience thanks to our awesome waitress. We hopes you can fix up the kitchen issues because we do love coming to eat at PFchangs.“

“The food was amazing, and they didn’t skimp on the meat at all like some restaurants do. The service was quick and they have a convenient ordering system. When we first walked in, the seemed to be completely empty, but people were actually in covered booths along the side of the restaurant, which was nice for some privacy. Overall, it was a great experience, and I strongly recommend.“

“Every time the food is hot and delicious. I’ve been looking for good Chinese food for years. I’ll drive out of my way all the time because it’s always good and made in a timely manner.“

“Amazing!! Hands down the best in sarasota! The food is so fresh tasting! Extremely Friendly and fast service. I cannot say enough good things. A million stars out of 5. My family will be regulars! My picky elderly father even loved it. My 12 year old says, “it’s amazing!!!”“

“We got a large Wonton Soup, and a large Chicken Noodle soup. Both came with crispy wonton strips on the side. Both were delicious. We will be back!“

“Good and very fresh food Excelente customer service“

“This is now my number one Chinese restaurant !! My husband and I moved to Palmetto 2 years ago from Boston/New Hampshire and have been looking for a restaurant that serves Chinese food that is made like up north. Well, I have finally found it at Nam Fong. It is just like food from Kowloon. You now have a customer for life !!!“

“Best Chinese food in The Sarasota-Bradenton. I’ve eaten there 5 times since the new year. Everything is delicious. My i have recommended the place to 5 different people and the love it as well!!!! Keep it up!“

“Me and my family have been coming here for over a year now and it's absolutely fantastic every time. Every dish is made to order and so so fresh. We typically stick to the rice bowl options but we've tried a few other things and never been disappointed. Their egg drop soup and seaweed salad are amazing appetizers as well, and all the food comes out so fast. The owner and employees always recognize us and greet us with the biggest smile and best service. We modify our bowls to exactly how we like them (encouraged by the owner!!) and the prices are very reasonable, with only a $1 upcharge for some modifications. Plenty of meat in the bowls as well, you will never leave hungry, even if you only ate the meat with no veggies or rice. Overall, amazing customer service and some of the best chinese I've had.“

“So the quality of the food is very good it tastes like real New York quality the rice is interesting I like their rice better when it's cold then when it's hot when it's hot and has kind of an overpowering seafood details and when it's cold the seafood taste goes away“

“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.“

“Awesome place to share and try all kinds of small dishes. The bbq buns are my favorite. The potstickers are good. The chinese broccoli is good (looks like spinach). The bbq pork is good. Plenty of vegetarian options. Tofu skin is good. Eggplant is good. The pineapple buns are the perfect dessert.“

“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 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.“

“I feel blessed that China Wok is near my home, as I am able to walk there to order food, whenever I get the Chinese food urge. My usual? Crab Rangoon. ♥️ I may have had better, but theirs always scratches that itch. Their entree portions are the typical large portions. I’ve always been more than satisfied with the entrees I’ve chosen here (Chicken Lo Mein, Beef w/ Broccoli and Chicken w/ Cashew Nuts). The staff is always pleasant - not really friendly, but never rude.“

“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.“

“The food was exceptional, and the service made the experience even better. The owner was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to customize the dishes exactly to our preferences. Absolutely worth it and hands down the best Chinese food I’ve had in the U.S.“

“Hands down, this is the BEST Chinese place around! In the 15 years I’ve lived in Florida, this is the only Chinese restaurant I’ll eat at. Big portions, fresh hot food, and great prices. My friends, family, and I have never been disappointed. They always get your order exactly right, and the food and customer service go above and beyond. One time I was visiting my mom and she wanted Chinese, so I drove 45 minutes just to get her China Garden on 10th St. I’m so glad I live only 10 minutes away. They never disappoint! Highly recommend! ❤️“

“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“

“Can’t recommend enough. The entire staff was great with our baby, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was very inviting“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Prices have changed so the online menu has the wrong prices. But the food, five stars! I always get the diet chicken with vegetables so I can share with my little chihuahua. But today I also ordered Pepper Steak so we will have super for a couple days. Delicious! The pepper steak was absolutely the best I've ever had. And the diet chicken and vegetables was amazing as well. There was a nice variety of vegetables and everything was cooked perfectly. I wish they put lots of onion in...that was my only complaint. I will definitely put this on my list of places to order from. Even my finicky little dog ate every bite...and that is high praise from her. lol Great food. I highly recommend it.“

“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“

“I've checked off another local Chinese restaurant from my list of local eateries.

At hand China Taste is another Chinese restaurant just like all others in the area. Don't get me wrong, every one is different from the other.

Disclaimer: I always order three lunch combos to get a sense of how the food tastes.

For this lunch I ordered beef and broccoli, pepper steak, and stir fry veggies in brown sauce with steamed white rice. The other lunches came with pork fried rice. Two came with an egg roll and one with egg drop soup.

Everything was really good. Plenty food in each container. The egg rolls were pretty typical and I was told by my mother that the egg drop soup was the best she had ever had. The egg drop soup wasn't as golden in color as most but it was properly thick and rich with flavor.

I definitely recommend coming for the egg drop soup.

I'm posting some photos of the menu, inside of the establishment, and the food I received.

China Taste will go on my list of local Chinese restaurants to eat at again.“
