22 Best Chinese Restaurants in Sarasota

“I am from Chicago and in 25 years have not found any good Chinese or Cantonese food, throughout any part of Florida, that I've been to, from east to west and North to south. This truly is great food and what I was used to in Chicago. The atmosphere is nothing fancy and I like it that way. It is traditional and not ultra modern, and clean.“

“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.“

“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!!!”“

“The best Chinese food we've yet to find in Sarasota. We tried shrimp egg foo Yung and shrimp with vegetables. Both had very fresh ingredients and lots of shrimp! Dine in does not include plates - food is served in take out containers. Just a few tables for those who want to dine there. No atmosphere, but delicious nonetheless.“

“Food was phenomenal. Absolutely delicious. We had shrimp, seafood, chicken, lo mein, rice, crab Rangoon and more. Prices were reasonable and portion sizes are as expected. No shrinkflation that I can tell. Not a sit down restaurant, so only plan for take out.

They crab Rangoon was the best I have ever had.

We will absolutely be back, and this is now are go-to Sarasota Chinese place.“

“We picked up takeout from bamboo Garden - under new ownership and it shows! The food is delicious - all your fav NY style Chinese favorites! Be sure to have their Shrimp Egg Rolls and Chinese Donuts! The Mongolian Beef has a great taste.....yummm the BEST! We found the food very fresh and well made. . I highly recommend this place. Great portion sizes and great quality and attention to detail.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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. 🔥🥡❤️“

“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.🙂“

“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.“

“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.“

“Quality food, staff and ambiance“

“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“

“Best Chinese food we've had after trying many in the 5 yrs we've lived here. General Tso's combo, Vegetable fried rice, Egg Rolls, Spring rolls, Crab Rangoon- all fresh, tasty, generous portions, fair prices, excellent service, made to order (we like not spicy) Very good, will visit again.“

“I want to give a huge shoutout to the PEIWEI Express at University Town Center Mall! The manager goes above and beyond for the customers, paying incredible attention to every detail. Her kindness, professionalism, and dedication truly stand out. Congratulations to the store for having such a fantastic leader on the team—what an amazing experience!“
