50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lutz

“Save yourself do not eat here! This is quite possibly the worst Chinese food ever. The egg roll had very little contents and what was there was mushy. My wonton was cloudy and wrappers with little to no filling.“

“The food is always hot, not too salty. Tastes good however, this is not the first time we found a hair in our food. I can’t understand why the workers don’t cover all their hair with a hair net or hat. It should be mandated by the health dept!“

“I’ve been to this restaurant for years from what i’ve experienced, the food is very good. The owner is very friendly and hardworking, he can always fulfill my accommodations and requests. This has always been my favorite and go-to chinese takeout for many years. i highly encourage you to try this place out! the price is good for the quantity of food they give!“

“Great food! We've been looking for a local Chinese restaurant and Rice N Roll did not disappoint! Many gluten free items offered as well.“

“I came in for lunch and a young girl helped me make my plate. I've never been to Panda Express before and had no idea what to get. Melody greeted me with a smile and helped me make the most delicious 😋 plate! I'll definitely be back again due to the exceptional customer service I received from her.“

“We went for dinner tonight on Mother's Day based on Google Reviews. The food was a beautiful, fresh, and DELICIOUS! The owner came out to see how everything was and gave us a little background story & family history (which I always love). Super friendly, family oriented. DELICIOUS! Try it!! Tell your friends. Definitely a hidden gem 💎“

“This is one of those places where I rarely ever see non-Asian people. The menu is mostly in Chinese and it’s hard to understand. This is probably why it’s not super crowded. however, this place is special. first the skewers. This is a northern Chinese restaurant and the flavors are influenced by Mongolia. The lamb skewer was delicious. The chicken skewer was delicious. Both with notes of cumin and perhaps coriander seed. The squid skewer was delicious and spicy with hints of miso. If you order a bowl of rice and five skewers, you have yourself a quick delicious meal for 12 bucks. The sweet and sour pork was unique. Not like any other “regular” Americanized one and should be tried. The mapo tofu was delicious and no holds barred. Very spicy.“

“Best Chinese food I’ve had in a while just like back home (Boston). Staff is friendly food is fresh never disappointed.“

“Ordered to-go from Liang’s Bistro pretty much by accident. I was in the area and wanted Asian to go but not Chinese or Ramen or Sushi. Limits the options, yes. Went here hoping it was more than a typical Chinese takeout shop. It turned out to be a bistro, as it is called, with a pretty and warm interior, table-side service and an impressive wine storage along one wall. The restaurant features an open kitchen with a large but not overwhelming menu. I chose yellow curry chicken, Thai basil with tofu and a pad Thai dish as well as shrimp lettuce wraps. Everything was delicious even though it was an hour before I made it home for us to eat dinner. What I like best is they do a little of everything - Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and even noodles and poke without offering so many of each kind that you know it’s going to be awful. The manager took great care of me, mentioning that this is their second location after a long stint in Tampa and that the business is owned by a Chinese individual who is adamant about serving Asian food, rather than just his country’s dishes. I liked it and look forward to taking my family and friends. Feels comfortable and is affordable. I spent $62 to feed four people and we have leftovers in the fridge.“

“Great customer service and friendly people!“

“I went to Lan Zhou Noodle House and loved it! The food was really tasty, especially the stir fry was amazing. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant smelled great and it felt welcoming!“

“I ordered orange chicken with a side of veggie lo mein and crab rangoons. The food was a generous portion and the chicken was fresh and crispy and flavorful. The lo mein was savory and the rangoons were so sweet and delicious!! The staff are very kind and welcoming. Will definitely be back!! :)“

“Place I go to when I need Chinese food being that I’ve tried a lot of others and this place is just great at what they do and it’s clean. I’m always going there and they’re cleaning and it’s great. Yes, they have been times where there was a kid doing his homework off to the side so that means this place hits.“

“I just wanna say thank you. Not only is the food always good warm fresh, but the attitudes in the building are just so uplifting . The main guy that works there I want you to personally know you make the area glow with your happiness and generosity. I’ve never met someone so happy and excited to work and bless the community“

“We have continuously been going to this restaurant and the food is amazing and the portions are great. Everyone we’ve been there the flavor profile never changes which is the reason why we keep going back. The menu selection is huge is also a reason why we keep returning they have a little bit of everything for everyone!!!! Don’t take my word for it go try them out!“

“Not only is this food good but it’s one of the best customer service Asian restaurants I have ever been to this far. Take time to admire the beautiful art there as well it’s done by the families 6 year old daughter she is super talented smart and very kind💜“

“Writing down this review because im a picky eater and I keep forgetting what I like. Honey chicken is sweet in sour chicken (deep fried in a tempura batter) tossed in a sweet sauce. I'm not a fan of the bourbon chicken (got it years ago and never tried it again since); the mongolian chicken is stir fried. Orange, sesame, and general tso chicken uses the same chicken base (dark meat chicken with lots of nooks and crannies for the sauce to hold to); orange sauce is sweet and spicy, sesame is not sweet and doesnt rely on sesame oil (which i like), and general tso is not sweet and mostly a spicy chili sauce (either there was a different dish that was sweet and spicy or this dish got less sweet over time). Lo mein is in the takeout containers while chow mein is in a plastic container and is very wet. Mixed vegetables are served in a dark sauce.“

“Tasty Chinese food,would totally recommend!“

“These guys were FANTASTIC. We ate here several times while we were in long-term health rehab. They saw our admission stickers and made sure to add us plates, utensils extra things that we would need. They were kind offered encouragement and the food was fantastic“

“Wow! The service was outstanding, with our meal being delivered directly to our hotel room door. The portion sizes were also notably generous. While the entire meal was delightful, the egg roll filling was not to my personal taste. I highly recommend this establishment for its exceptional service and value.“

“We ordered delivery from Hong Kong a few weeks ago after an exhaustive search for *good* Chinese food. We were really pleasantly surprised at the quality, so we ordered again last night.

This place does not disappoint. We got the Chicken Fried Rice and The Four Seasons, and both dishes were excellent quality. The proteins they use are great quality and you can tell they are using fresh vegetables. They're crisp and perfectly cooked.

You get a lot of food for the price you pay as well. Delivery was on time (a few min early, actually).

This is our new go-to spot for Chinese food. Please keep up the quality, great prices and portions, and friendly service!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I had the opportunity to taste special "wantan soup' and green spaguetti with steak. Simply delicious. the home made pesto.“

“This is the closest Chinese place that reminds me of home (Massachusetts) I love this place! I haven't been here for a good 5 years, decided to treat myself for mama day and they never disappoint I drove 20min for this food n regret nothing 😆. Usually I get sweet n sour chicken n shrimp lo main but today I only got the pork fried rice no veggie and wings.“

“Normally the food is really good here but something was definitely wrong in the kitchen last night. We ordered one meal spicy, and everything but the lo mein and chicken was filled with red pepper flakes and waaay too hot to eat. Didn’t receive our rice either. I hope it gets resolved.“

“I lived in the Carrollwood/Citrus Park area for about 11 years and China Wok was always our go-to Chinese place. This isn't a restaurant where you would likely want to sit and eat although you can. They are best suited for take-out and delivery and they were always quite reliable and consistently good. Portions are good-sized and ingredients always fresh. China Wok was always sensitive to and delivered on special requirements- leaving out certain ingredients or adjusting recipes to meet taste or dietary needs.

If you live in the area, I highly recommend China Wok for take out and delivery as I found it was the best Chinese restaurant in the area.“

“I still think Golden China on dale mabry is the best. However, this is a decent taste when I don’t want to drive far and their hot oil sauce is better. Other than that the shrimp is WAYYY TOO SMALL AND thats why they don’t get 5 stars. They may not be using saffron to make rice yellow but my other spot does. You can taste the difference in the rice. Overall not horrible compared to new china“

“Best Chinese takeout in Tampa! My food is always fresh and crispy like I asked. The sweet tea is excellent, always greeted with a smile, AND THEY SELL CHEESESTEAK ROLLS!!! 😋 Also I like that the condiments you can get yourself. So when I need extra sauce no biggie or extra charge. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“China Star never disappoints! Their fried special rice is my absolute favorite; flavorful, perfectly cooked, and packed with fresh ingredients. I also love their broccoli and steak, crispy and tasty egg rolls, and sweet and sour chicken. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is always friendly and attentive. This is my go-to spot whenever I’m craving great Chinese food!“

“I’ve been coming here for a long time and they’re consistently great. The food is always fresh, hot, and actually flavorful, which is more than I can say for a lot of places. My go-to is the chicken skewers with fries and it never disappoints.

I really appreciate that you can call ahead and have everything ready for pickup. It’s always smooth, no hassle, no attitude, just good food that tastes the same every time. Reliable, delicious, and worth coming back to.“

“I come from the New Tung Tung in Tampa after it closed down, and I was expecting similar service from before and I got it! I am very pleased to know that one of my favorite establishments is still serving their best food to this day.“

“This is my go to spot in Tampa, they’re always so quick and on point. The food is bomb, I always get the General Tso dinner combination (photos attached) and love the eggrolls have actual veggies in it and not that weird mushy stuff most Chinese restaurants do. 10/10 would recommend“

“My main entree was entirely incorrect and not what I would eat at all. I discovered this when I got to my hotel. My roast pork fried rice side was delicious. My wonton soup was average. The crispy noodles were stale. My special instruction to please add some spice was ignored. I waited quite a while for my food to be ready.“

“Consistently good food.
Store becomes overwhelmed rather quickly during high volume periods. This results in extended wait times & occasional mistakes in order. The store has always made corrections honorably. Quality has always been consistent.“

“Love the food here. It’s always so good and so consistent. I absolutely love the lunch specials. I get so much food for under $10!
Love their soup too with egg roll!
Chicken and broccoli is top tier too!!!
Tonight I’m going to have the bourbon chicken ! I crave their food everyday!!!“

“We just ordered for the first time and we will definitely be coming back. This is the cleanest Chinese food I have ever had. It is not greedy and it tastes great. The kitchen is very clean and the service is fast and pleasant. We are so happy to have finally found an amazing Chinese restaurant. They gave us fresh home made pastries that were delicious.“

“😍 This is my first time eating chinese buffet at China Buffet and i met the owner who run this restaurant for more than 15 years. He spent 6 months to refurbished this whole place. It is clean and the is family friendly and there is eel sushi which is my son's fav. If you would like to have something of everything this is the place. I will definitely bring my children there when we want to feast!!! The workers are friendly! It is safe place for single mom like me!“

“I’ve been getting takeout from here, off and on, for years. Usually, it’s just okay. Quality seemed inconsistent. However, today was different. Everything was so much better. I usually do not get my favorite, shrimp and lobster, because the shrimp tastes old or over cooked. Tonight was different. It was so good. Cooked perfectly and had a wonderful garlic taste. Not sure what they’ve done but I hope they keep doing it.“

“This is by far the best Chinese restaurant I've ever experienced in Tampa.The customer service is great and the food is outstanding. If you're looking for great flavorful and fresh food, I highly recommend. Trust me you won't be disappointed 💕 this place.“

“food is good it has that umami flavor but the soup" i have been to Singapore Taiwan and other asian countries i have never seen them put broccoli and bell pepper in a soup“

“It's rare to find an authentic restaurant, the food is authentic and made with love.
This is one of the best options in the area. Lived in Tampa for 30plus years. You should try this place, it's far better than anything else you are going to find. Do yourself a favor and try this place.“

“Was debating between this and Sarku Japan, but the lady handing out free samples swung me to China 88 and I’m glad she did! The chicken is delicious and very meaty. I was concerned the general Tso would be too bready, but it had plenty of meat unlike a certain panda themed Asian chain that sells fried bread with sauce and calls it orange ‘chicken’. The Mongolian chicken (the forked one in the pic lol) was very savory and the sauce had really good flavor. The spicy bourbon had a nice kick to it, but I would’ve liked it more if it was a little spicier. I got the 3 meat plate combo with sautéed veggies as well as 2 sugar biscuits for $18, which I think is a solid deal for what I got. Generous portions and the lady was really nice. I highly recommend checking them out.“

“My favorite Chinese spot. We practically go here every Friday or every other Friday. The lo mein is so delicious. It’s a perfect amount of savory. We love their crab rangoon and my husband loves their chicken wings. Even if you’re just in the mood for fried chicken, literally just go here and get the fried chicken. It’s great. The sesame chicken is delicious!! 10/10“

“I'm not sure how these places work, but many of them look identical. That being said, service and food even is always a little different. Staff here was friendly and easy to work with. Whatever they did differently with the pork fried rice, I really liked it. It wasn't crunchy or overcooked but just right. Great job!“

“Scallops, noodles, shrimp, a quail egg, and more await you in the spicy seafood noodle soup. It has pieces of fruit that were sweet and nice pieces of corn and carrots that caused inviting tastes. It was a delectable experience and very filling.“

“My husband and I took a road trip to FL. We were staying in Tampa and i wanted to try some Chinese food. Boy am I glad I stopped here. Hands down the best BBQ boneless ribs combo. The pork fried rice was flavorful, and the pork was chopped in thin pieces just how I love eating it and service was quick. I could eat that combo every day. It did not disappointment me.“

“Some of the best Chinese food quick in a hurry if need convenience please try it out I recommended the pork boneless spare ribs are great choice pepper steak ,sesame seed chicken, sweet and sour chicken with House special fried rice all great choices if you want some quick New York style Chinese food check it out.“

“I luv the family that runs this place. They are so wonderful and you can realy tell they are so greatfull you came to there restaurant. Shout out to the mom. She makes me feel luvd when i come inn after work. Its hard to explain. The food is 3.5-4.5/5 depending on what you get. Some dishes are better than others. I feel in some of the dishes can be way to greesy but others are perfect. Big shootout to the shrimp and lobster sauce. On my mama its FIIIIIRE!“

“This is one of my favorite spots to eat. The customer service is good. They have a nice selection to choose from and I think it is definitely worth the price, especially with the lunch rate. Typically, in my experience, the wait time isn’t that long either (for lunch or dinner), which is another plus because it often is busy here“

“​I’ve finally found my go-to Chinese spot in Wesley Chapel! The food at Gonna China is always piping hot, fresh, and served in huge portions. The popcorn chicken was perfectly seasoned and the service was super fast. Highly recommend if you want great food that doesn't break the bank.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars!

I had an excellent experience at China Wok located at 2556 E Bearss Ave in Tampa. I ordered a lunch special and was genuinely impressed—more than plenty of food plus a soda for under $10 is hard to beat these days.

The restaurant itself is very clean, and the live plants throughout the space were such a lovely touch 🪴—they really add to the welcoming atmosphere. My food came out quickly, which I always appreciate, especially during lunchtime.

The fried rice was on point, and the egg roll add-on absolutely hit the spot. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the candy dish for customers—such a small but thoughtful detail that really stood out.

You truly can’t beat the quantity or the quality of the Chinese food being served here. Great value, great food, and a pleasant environment. I’ll definitely be back!
