50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lauderdale Lakes

“New owners and the name is changing to Kirin. One thing that hasn’t changed is the best Chinese food in south Florida. We had hot and sour soup, lobster with ginger and scallions, Peking duck and beef chow fun. The dishes were all excellent. I hope the new owners are successful as I can’t wait to go back even though it’s a 22 mile drive from home. They don’t have their liquor license yet so bring your own for now.“

“I live about 40 minutes away from here and have been going here for over 10 years. My parents are gone now but they used to take me here for special occasions and order 2lbs of char siu, 2lbs of pork, and 2lbs of roasted duck. The service, taste, and nostalgia is what keeps me coming back 😀“

“I randomly came by and it was the owner birthday JEAN TOUSSAINT birthday so they were grilling and giving free food !! Omg they welcomed us in with open arms and was so kind ! I can tell the customer service is literally ICONIC!! Thank you so much for the great customer service! Just catering to your customers ! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY again !!🥳🥳“

“I ordered the hot and spicy wings and the spare ribs with 2 orders of lo mein and it was absolutely delicious and the service was so fast and the attendant in the front was so kind and sweet!!!! Im definitely coming here again to try more dishes!!!! ☺️“

“Awesome service in Coral Springs, and the food really good too! Thank you“

“My family and I had take out of the Pho rear steak and the brisket as well as wings and pot stickers for appetizers. All the food was tasty and we enjoyed it. Our only observation was the quantity of food for the price was not enough we would have like more food. thank you and good luck.“

“I'm not much of a fan of this type of chain in general....We came as a celebration for a birthday and the experience was made great by the great staff at the Sawgrass location and, especially, thanks to our outstanding server Camille. She was absolutely amazing with everything! Keep up the good work Camille!“

“The dessert took longer to get to the table than the food. They did take it off the bill but not what I was looking for nor is it a fix to the issue. The waiter was hardly seen and when he was (which was not often enough) it was bad timing - Mouth full of food, he's asking if everything is okay. It was a nice place though. Food was great.“

“The food was really good i recommended the pork chili wontons, the potstickers and any of the soup dumplings are really good. My waiter Jessica was so nice, kind and attentive, she showed/helped us eat the soup dumplings, we didn’t try the noodles or the duck but definitely next time! The atmosphere is really nice too, very aesthetic.“

“Rainbow Palace – A True Fine-Dining Chinese Classic

Rainbow Palace is a true gem of fine-dining Chinese cuisine located on East Oakland Park Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. This restaurant has been around for roughly 35–40 years, and it shows in all the right ways — elegance, consistency, and attention to detail.

I’ve been meaning to dine here for at least 15 years, but timing was never right. They are open for dinner only — no lunch, no happy hour — which already sets the tone that this is a serious dining experience. When you walk in, you immediately notice the refined atmosphere: a beautiful bar area, a private dining room, and one of the most elegant Chinese dining rooms I’ve ever seen.

Now, the food.

We started with the Shrimp and Lobster Dumplings — hand-kneaded dough shells filled with minced shrimp and lobster, pan-fried on one side and served with a honey mustard soy sauce. Outstanding. Fresh, perfectly cooked, and easily among the best dumplings I’ve had. We ordered them per order and they disappeared fast.

There were four of us, and we ordered four main dishes to share. One standout was the Roast Duck with Portabella Mushrooms and Asparagus — thinly sliced roast duck sautéed in a nine-spice Asian sauce with fresh portabella mushrooms and asparagus. Rich, tender, and beautifully balanced.

We also had the Chef’s Lo Mein, featuring sliced chicken, honey-roasted pork, and shrimp tossed with soft angel-hair lo mein noodles and fresh garden vegetables, seasoned with aged soy sauce. A classic done exactly right.

Another highlight was a large shrimp entrée, featuring jumbo shrimp cooked perfectly — firm, flavorful, and clearly high-quality. Not your average shrimp dish; refined rather than heavy.

Every dish came out hot, fresh, and plated with care. The flavors were balanced, the ingredients were top-tier, and nothing felt rushed or over-sauced.

Rainbow Palace is not casual Chinese food — it’s classic, upscale, old-school fine dining done right. If you appreciate elegant surroundings, excellent service, and thoughtfully prepared dishes, this place absolutely deserves a visit“

“Had the company CNY here… Amazing Food! My boss ordered like family style and spared no expense. We had something like 20 Different items dropped off in sequential order. Didn’t expect each one to be that great, but everything was. You will not be disappointed. The restrooms could use a remodel but besides that 4.5-5* for the food quality & taste alone!“

“I’m in town visiting from Nashville. I’m on a work trip, and this place was across the street from my hotel. The dumplings were outstanding. Very flavorful. Good portions! Highly recommend!“

“Just visited my BFF of 40 years and we learned Lotus has moved as we always dined here when they were in Wilton Manors. OMG…it’s better than ever!! We were so impressed that we visited 3 times during my 12 day stay. They have a beautiful new restaurant, a young, fresh FRIENDLY staff, and the owner visits each table and engages with every customer. Food is even better than before and portions are huge!! Lotus is also very LGBTQ friendly…just as they were in Wilton Manors. Highly recommend!!!! Five stars!!“

“I mostly order for take out.
Food is good.portions are big
Combination dishes are big.
I usually eat half a dish and I will eat. the rest later.
They are fast.
I know this place for years.
I recommend it.“

“Love this place and this is one of the best places for soup dumplings in South Florida. I’m here nearly every week with my family or coworkers or both! Highly recommend this place!“

“I’ve been ordering food from the restaurant for years. Food is very good.
Tonight I ordered 2 dinners with the soup, egg roll and fried rice. Delivery
I love their hot and sour soup. It’s a meal in itself.
I ordered a hot and sour soup and egg drop soup.
Surprise!!! I received 2 wanton soups. They’re not coming back to deliver 2 wrong soups.
The kitchen sure failed in this order.
Hopefully the next time all will be right.“

“The Best Food Fast Service. My one and only source“

“We love food from Jan Mei. Winnie is the best. She will remember you after your first time there. She has our daughter’s baby picture and our wedding picture on the wall. She is family ❣️“

“This guy is the absolute goat I’ve been eating his food since I was 6, every time I had a swim competition I was blessed by his food, this man makes the BEST FOOD EVER, ANYTIME I have chifa from anyone else it tastes like dirt compared to this absolute masterpiece that is his cooking“

“Clean and organized. Enjoyed the food 🤗“

“I was craving Chinese food and googled near me. I liked what I saw in the photos and what I read in the reviews.
I was a bit nervous that I would be disappointed by the low key furnishings, but I wasn’t there to eat their furniture.
I was a little set back by the price of my dish but when the portion came to the table and scents were waffing to my sense of smell I was intrigued.
I have eaten my share of ethnic cuisines and have a fairly wide acceptance of many, save for Indian that I just can’t get my tastebuds to take to.
This Trinidadian inspired Chinese fusion rocked my palate.
If this restaurant was on Las Olas or Wynwood or South Beach it would be hard to get a table.
I spent a twenty minutes conversing with chef Tarik whose passion comes through in all the best ways.
Please stop by and support this wonderful little restaurant.
I hope you will be as delighted as I was. Try everything; you won’t be disappointed.“

“LOVE King Chef!
Friendly Service
Fresh Food
Convenient Location
Get to see as they prepare food.
I order by phone. Orders are always accurate.
Reminds me of Chinese food grew up on in Spanish Harlem, New York City. Especially the Egg rolls! (My favorite)
Refer to others when asked “Where can I go for good Chinese food?”
Customer going on 4 years“

“I been here 4 times and food always been delicious, the special fried rice, the sushi I loved it. The food is really good and it’s fresh! 100% recommendations this restaurant! I’ll be back soon“

“Excellent. Enjoyed my food.“

“High quality food. Delicious and fresh! I had Wonton soup, Moo Shu Pork and an appetizer of eggrolls. the downside is they had no crispy noodles to munch on while we r waiting for our food, and the dinner did not come with eggrolls, or with real authentic fried rice, only brown or white rice. im a big fan of NY style fried rice and it was disappointing, however I could have ordered a side of pork fried rice for $14. overall since the food was excellent I would highly recommend Red Ginger. Lovely atmosphere. We had a great time.“

“This place is one of my favorite, generous portions, delicious rice, open until 10, fresh cooking on big fire ! Price really great! Nice job“

“We discovered Hongs in the Facebook group, Let's Eat, South Florida. The reviews were mixed, however we decided to try it. I called before we went to see if they cook with MSG and I was told that they did. When I asked if the MSG could be omitted the man I spoke with told me it could be omitted. We went to the restaurant last night and I spoke to the server about omitting the MSG and she said she would check with the chef. She wanted to know what dishes we wanted to order. Every dish I asked her about she had to check with the chef. Every dish we asked about they couldn't omit the MSG. We seriously should have walked out. I made the decision to stay because we were already there and decided just to chalk it up. We ordered egg drop soup, beef chow fun, honey roasted pork and the eggplant in garlic sauce. The soup was a huge bowl big enough for two and reasonably priced, however it lacked flavor. It was basically tasteless. The next dish to be brought out was the garlic eggplant and it was sizzling hot. It was absolutely delicious and the best eggplant we've ever ordered. The next dish to come out was the Chow Fun. The temperature on the dish wasn't cold. Maybe it was sitting too long but we felt it could have been hotter. Food coming out of a kitchen should be hot. I tried explaining this to the server but she just didn't understand what I was asking. I just let it go. It was extremely frustrating with the language barrier. She also forgot to bring out the pork. I had to ask for it. Pork was good but a little fatty. We were just about finishing up our meal and I see the server sit down at a table with a big plate of food. She just went on break. Not once did she look over at us or even come over to us before taking her break to see if we maybe needed anything. Also then the chefs and other server took their break. There was only one woman at the register dealing with take-out orders. We sat there for about 15 minutes. We just couldn't believe it. When the woman at the register finally finished with a customer, I went over to her and said I needed help at my table. She finally came over and I told her our food needed to be packed up and I also had to ask for the check. The woman walked away and came back with containers and just put them on the table. She then just stood there. I asked if she was going to pack up our food or if I had to do it. It seemed like she grudgingly did it. Also, their chairs are extremely uncomfortable, didn't encourage lingering. Absolutely awful service. Today, we were going through the reviews on Google and there were many negative reviews. Shame on me for not reading these reviews. If we had, we would NOT have gone. I give them a 1 out of a 10. One and done for us.“

“I haven't ordered here for a long time not because I didn't like it just because I've been out of town for a long time I ordered tonight a family meal and I must say everything was great delivery guy was cool the food was still hot and everything was really tasty and good.
thank you“

“The food is very fresh and delicious! Every dish is full of flavor and you can really taste the quality. Portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The place is clean and the service is friendly. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!“

“I have celiac disease and it's very hard for me to trust restaurants. I work nearby and I never thought I would be able to have Chinese food. I order chicken and vegetables from the special diet menu with spicy white sauce and it is AMAZING. Sometimes I come several days in a row. It is so simple and fresh and I always feel safe knowing it is consistent and the restaurant is clean and accommodating.“

“Hi my name is Michelle let me tell you this restaurant is the best Chinese food in fort Lauderdale in Broward county. I'm going to say the young lady that works there that answered the phone and took my order last night with ultimately the most nice respectful woman I've ever met. She personally delivered my food last night remind me at 11:30 pm
I thought it was so nice of them to take my order at last minute just 5 minutes before 11:00 p.m. thank you guys so much for that great food.Thank you again for Friday night Feb 6 2026“

“Food was great cream cheese wontons are awesome I had the orange chicken as well and it was good definitely a good chineese restaurant. Could work on the ambiance place was a bit ancient but great food & service you will not be disappointed.“

“I’m a regular customer and I never leave disappointed. The food is always great, but the honey garlic wings are officially my new obsession! The young girl and her sister are so sweet, and the entire staff is friendly and polite. Such a great place! You will love it here!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered Orange tufu, Udon noodle soup and Egg foo young. The restaurant was super clean. Large variety on the menu. Next time I will order the stir fried Udon noodles and a few more dishes from the menu.“

“My family and I have been going here for 8 years. We currently drive from West Boca to pick up our food as no other place can compare. We tried to find places closer but have alwaya been disappointed. It's well worth the drive. However tonight we noticed they changed how the boneless spare ribs were made. Not sure why they made this change but hope they go back to the old way. Still good, it's just not the same as has been my favorite for the past 8 years!“

“I just ordered, again, from Fortune Dragon. The food is always exactly how I requested. Always delivered as promised. Really nice people I've interacted with.“

“Absolutely the best ramen I’ve ever had!
This place might look small from the outside, but don’t let that fool you — it’s cozy, welcoming, and the food is on another level. The ramen is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. You can really taste the difference. The boba tea is also amazing — one of the best I’ve ever had! Every time I come here, the experience is consistently great. Definitely a hidden gem worth visiting!“

“food is outstanding and they are always on time.“

“Best Chinese food by far in Coral Springs. Always fast delivery at very fair prices.“

“In Dania there's 2 (two) Hunan Woks this by far is the better of the two.
The other one is across from The jai alai.

DON'T make the mistake of going to the other one.

Here the portions are generous, food is very good & we have never been disappointed. We order reasonably frequently, ahead of time & our order is always hot, ready and waiting for us at the agreed upon time.
👍🏼👍🏼 4 sure!“

“Coming from New York City, I've had many Peking Duck dinners but this was among the best I've had. Crispy skin, tasty duck with the right add-ons and served beautifully. We started with all three soups - wonton, egg drop and hot and sour. Then assorted dim sum and shrimp fried rice. All were hot and tasty. We ordered dry fried string beans but they never came. The waitress was spectacular but I unfortunately don't remember her name. Definitely will return!“

“Excellent service, good quality n quantity of food for the price u paid for. Clean environment.“

“I absolutely love the food at this restaurant; it is incredibly delicious, and I must say, they serve the absolute best fried rice and egg rolls I have ever tasted! It is always worth it, and I highly recommend trying it. The food quality is consistently high, and the portions are generous. The friendly staff and quick service make for a pleasant dining experience, whether you choose to dine in, get take-out, or order delivery.“

“Food is soooo good. Highly recommend!!! 10 stars!!!!“

“Portions were great. Meat quality is fantastic. I usually feel sick after chinese food and felt amazing after eating from here. Huge portions too!
