20 Best Chinese Restaurants in Tallahassee

“The food was great ( I've only eaten there once ) what I had was delicious the only thing I wish I would've done was ate it while it was hot and fresh. The atmosphere is ok but only because the place is still under construction ( while I was there at the time ) the service was great too the lady on the phone was nice and cooperative as well. I'd definitely give this place a shot again.“

“A lovely Oriental restaurant, I order the Beef and broccoli every time, and every time it's perfect. Not once in the four years of coming here have I had a bad experience.Excellent service, and the lady at the front always remembers my order, ( not that I am hard to forget).Love this place“

“We really enjoy the food, much better than the options we have in Cairo, Ga. I often pickup food on my way home from Tally. They have options that many other Chinese restaurants don't have like Moo Shu Chicken & Beef (most only offer pork). We love the Philly Egg rolls too!!“

“Love Emerald Garden. We get their take out monthly as a treat, and it never disappoints. Their veggies are fresh, and the sauces are perfect. Lots of flavor and priced well for the large portion sizes. One dish usually gives me lunch the next day, too.“

“Best Chinese food in town. Super fast and consistent. The boneless bbq spare ribs are especially fantastic. I've tried them from Vancouver, BC to here and a hundred places between and these guys have some of the best. Even better they do delivery without having to use one of the garbage delivery apps. Support local!“

“Ming tree is the best Chinese food in town. Love their family style portions and they are always so kind. The think I love most of all of that they take time off during Thanksgiving and Christmas and close for a nice long break to get quality time with their family. Love you all!“

“I love there food I stay on the road behind fresh for less and I have a 22 year-old artistic son and anytime he goes to that restaurant the daughter knows exactly what he’s gonna order sometimes I just called the order in and they know my exact order even if I’m ordering something to eat for myself. She would call me if I’m not there love the egg rolls they soo big“

“My family of 6 loves Bamboo Wok. It’s one of our regular back up options for takeout as we can still save food for leftovers. I am particular about where to get Asian food, as I grew up in SF, CA one of the top cities in America for eating authentic asian food of all cultures.

While we haven’t tried everything on the menu, if a place does not pass for the classics we don’t come back. At BW we regularly get: Pork & String Beans, Beef Broccoli, Orange Chicken, Pork Lo Mein, General Tso’s Chicken, House Fried Rice Combo and are always happy with how it turns out. Prices are great for portions, Service is always quick.“

“This is the best little restaurant I've eaten at in Tallahassee! Hot fresh food, wonderful staff! The atmosphere was very lovely, my sister and I were able to have a nice quiet relaxing lunch with the most wonderful flavors and textures! They went out of their way to customize her food, we will be back!“

“Good portion for take out“

“This place is wonderful! Food is always delicious. Always hot, fresh, made to order, and you get a good amount for the money you spend. I've eaten there twice already this week!! The girl behind the counter is very personable and nice. Vegetable Lo Mein and egg rolls are the bomb.💣💯 🔥😋“

“The food is good and always served hot. However, sometimes it tastes like the wings have been refried, which makes them seem like they were sitting out for a while before being cooked again. Other than that, the crab wontons are really good! Prices are reasonable as well!!!“

“I was already going to keep coming here because their food is great and they are so kind today they went above and beyond. I recently ordered and received a call because someone left their cigarette/smoking device there and they thought it was mine. I thought that is very great not only do they have great food but their customer service is above and beyond. They always verify my receipt and very thorough. Will ONLY be coming here as long as I am in tallahassee“

“they were very polite and helpful . the food was delivered to me quickly. the price was good“

“Wonderful people that own this establishment!“

“This small Chinese-American take-out has remained in NE Tallahassee, growing its’ client base and improving its’ offerings. Tonight, our order was prepared hot, fresh, and surprisingly fast. The other local competitors don’t seem to make the grade. Owners seem to be on-site every time we go. Tonight included Triple Delight, Chicken Lo Mein, and Chicken with mixed vegetables. Nice people, great food and at a reasonable price.“

“First time at the Sunday Buffet and it was very good. Huge selection of food and some decent sushi (salmon and tuna). Service was very good. Only complaint is that imitation crab was used for the crab cakes. Dunno why sushi places use imitation crab……“

“Always excellent food. Coolest people around. I'll never forget when the hurricane knocked power out for weeks, and the old man in there every day cooking it up for everybody. Looking hawt as hades, but still getting it!
Only place I get my Chinese food from anymore.“

“Finally found the place that has West Coast Chinese food. Most places in Tallahassee are bearly edible, the Mongolian beef was really good and not tenderized with baking soda. White rice was moist and sticky like it's supposed to be and the egg rolls where crispy not soggy. We ordered from the kitchen instead of the buffet. We will be back often.“
