50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Tampa

“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 💎“

“One of my favorite spots in Tampa! I've been here multiple times, and what keeps me coming back is how consistent they are. Every visit has been just as good as the last.

Everything we've tried has been delicious, and all of their skewers are top-notch. The Yangzhou fried rice is hands down the best I've ever had—packed with flavor and perfectly prepared every time. The sweet and sour pork is another standout dish and one that I find myself ordering again and again.

If you're looking for a place that delivers amazing food consistently, this is definitely worth a visit.“

“Great service, delicious food. We loved everything we ate and will be back to try more.“

“Our first time at Liang’s, it won’t be our last! Excellent food, & service!“

“Highly recommend!! Very excellent service indeed. I noticed the manager personally going around and asking tables if they are happy with their meal and if they needed anything... Huge credit to that!! They accommodated our needs immensely. This was my first time to a P.F.Changs .

We enjoyed our food and experience. Thank you for the great dinner and service. Cheers“

“OMG!!! Do you see how STUFFED my to-go boxes are?! Just like me right now lol! My shrimp are HUGE & fresh - YUM!!! I’ve been craving a good stir-fry without breaking the bank & saw China Wok was a little north of me. I’m SO thankful to have found one of my new go-to places after a long day. I ordered a large portion - it included rice, & I can’t wait to have the other half for lunch tomorrow! The price is so amazing for all you get - I barely broke over $20 after tip. I got the cutest reusable bag, fortune cookies (restaurants don’t really do this anymore🥹), & even better customer service. The employee with the pink hair tie at the front is stellar - SO sweet & made sure to show me where to get sauces. I’m so excited I found this Chinese spot - super welcoming as soon as you walk-in, take-out or dine-in, & very clean. Thank you, great job!!!
UPDATE: I’m back again of course, & Remi made my night - their sweet tea is the BEST & she gave it to me with my meal🥹 I love China Wok!!!“

“Great customer service and friendly people!“

“Always a great meal, everyone that visits us from out of town we bring here and they love it also. Thank you guys for all that you do.“

“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!“

“Amazing Place To Grab A Quick Bite Or A Big plate For the Family to enjoy.
Ordered the Beef & Broccoli an spring eggroll
Also the chicken fried rice an chicken wings…..FRESH, FAST , & COOKED PERFECT

SHOUT OUT MY GIRL ANA!!“

“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!! :)“

“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💜“

“This is the best family run Chinese restaurant in the entire area. Tell Peter hello 👋 from me when you go!“

“My husband and I enjoy eating at this place. We are Hindu vegetarians and appreciate the options provided for us. They are healthy, delicious and tasty. The manager is very professional and the staff as friendly.“

“We just had lunch here with my family. We had a great experience at this restaurant! The lady who took our order was super nice, friendly, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. We will definitely be coming back again soon!“

“Much better than expected, given the price and location. Customer service was efficient and friendly, which is very rare these days. They always have a smile. One of the staff members jogged out into the parking lot and waved me down when he realized somebody grabbed the wrong pick up order.“

“I have been liking and searching for a good Chinese food place since I’m used to NY Chinese food. This place did not disappoint. Pork fried rice was hearty. Not skimpy on the meat. The chicken and broccoli and shrimp with garlic sauce very tasty. Food taste fresh.“

“Great place for authentic Chinese food and good alternative to Yummy house. This the place to go to if you want fresh seafood like fish, crab, and lobster. Unlike yummy house, china Yuan has large lobsters in 2-3lbs and dungeness crabs. We love the HK style lobster. Their dim sum brunch is fantastic well.“

“We had such a great experience here! The food was absolutely fantastic and everything came out quickly with excellent service from start to finish. Mae behind the counter was especially sweet and so helpful, which made the whole experience even better.

We ordered a variety of dishes — lo mein, General Tso’s, chicken and broccoli, egg rolls, and sweet and sour chicken — and every single one was delicious. It’s rare to find a place where everything you try is a hit!

This spot is truly a local gem, and we’ll definitely be back again.“

“Tasty Chinese food,would totally recommend!“

“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.“

“Other than the employee insisting on lecturing on the difference between broccoli, soft versus well done, the food was good considering Chinese food in Florida, but his tone with me left a sour taste in my mouth and the place is too small that I had to wait in the car until my food was ready. I gave it 4 stars just because the food was good enough that I would recommend going there.“

“I have been searching for a good Chinese place and this is my 2nd time ordering (2go) from here and its amazing I love florida but the Chinese food you typically find down here is not worth a crap!! This place is hands down is the best around this area the dumplings pork fried rice Mei fun noodles hot & sour & wonton soup are legit.. 2night I tried their cheese steak egg roll I was a lil skeptical but nope it was delicious I've never stepped in their place but this will be my spot to order some good ole Chinese“

“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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Of the 30+ chinese food placed i have tried in tampa this is very likely a top 5. Price is reasonable and the food was solid. Egg rolls were good. Crab rangoon was delicious. Food didn't taste like it was completely loaded with sodium. The chicken was tender not chewy like a lot of places. the hot and sour soup was full of mushrooms and tofu not just broth and it was perfectly spicy not too hot not too sour. The shrimp with lobster sauce was good. I do prefer the lobster sauce to be a little thicker but that was the only bad thing I could say about my order. I will likely order from here again“

“This is a great place to order PICK UP. Take it to your home and enjoy! The place itself is small and would recommend to place only takeout orders. White rice, noodles, honey chicken, orange chicken, and sweet and sour chicken were all really good. I’m only sad that I haven’t ordered from this place sooner.“

“best Chinese in tampa bay ♥️😀“

“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.“

“Was my first time ...the best Chinese food I have ever had ..Very large portions to share ..They have a desert cart that comes around...will definitely be back with the family! 5 stars from me for sure!“

“Jin China is my favorite Chinese restaurant. This is my husband and myself Friday night dinner every week. I love their fried wings, crab Rangoon and their shrimp fried rice. The chicken chow mein is delicious. And their pupu platter is good if you love fried foods. My husband loves their general tso chicken with white rice.“

“My husband and I are from NY where the takeout Chinese is top tier. Moving to Tampa, I have been searching for a quality take out spot and found it!

The staff is friendly, the food has so much flavor and quality, and the prices are very reasonable. Their lunch special is the best!

We have tried a handful of different meals from their diverse menu and have never been disappointed.“

“First order from this place. Wow food was delicious! We ordered broccoli beef combo, sweet and sour chicken combo and pork dumplings. Mhm! Everything tasted so fresh and simply delicious!
Thanks so much for a great dinner, can't wait to try other things on the menu soon.“

“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“

“Was my first time ...the best Chinese food I have ever had ..Very large portions to share ..They have a desert cart that comes around...will definitely be back with the family! 5 stars from me for sure!“

“Excellent food! Fresh, hot,reasonably priced! Can't wait to eat there again!“

“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.“

“Amazing employees💖 they have amazing foods that you absolutely love. Very clean.❤️ I would definitely come back.“

“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.“

“I moved to Florida 6 years ago and this is the first American Chinese food that Ive actually enjoyed here,if you’re looking for the simple American Chinese food taste this place will nail it all. Only loses 1 star because it’s a little dirty inside but you can’t win em all. The staff are very friendly.“

“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!!!“

“A take out restaurant for sure. Their food is amazing. I'm obsessed with their dumplings like obsessed.. honestly everything I've had from here has been yummy. I've been looking for a good Chinese takeout place and this is the one. Only thing i don't love is you have to pay for fortune cookies they should just throw a handful in like the rest. Other than that i really recommend !“

“Panda Express is a great go-to spot on base for a quick, satisfying meal. They offer plenty of protein and vegetable options, making it easy to build a balanced plate.
The teriyaki chicken is fresh and delicious, grilled perfectly and full of flavor. It pairs really well with the fried rice or vegetable fried rice, which are both tasty and filling.
I also like that the food is kept behind a glass-covered serving case, so it’s protected and no one is breathing on it—this makes the food feel cleaner, fresher, and more appealing overall. When menu items run low, they’ll also cook your order fresh, which is a big plus.
Service is very quick and efficient, and the food is consistently hot and flavorful. Overall, a solid and reliable option at the McDill Air Force Exchange. Highly recommended.“

“The atmosphere here is great. I ordered a broccoli chicken with noodles and some fried chicken wings. The food was very fresh, and the MSG, oil, and spices were all perfectly balanced. The girl at the counter was very welcoming. While I was eating, I noticed several customers who only spoke Spanish coming in to order, and she patiently helped them order what they needed. It's a very welcoming place, and I think I'll come back again.“

“kang's garden is by far one of the best Chinese food restaurants in Tampa. I'm a New Yorker so it's very hard to find really good authentic Chinese food. Kang's garden gets a 10 out of 10. I normally get the bourbon chicken and my daughter gets lo mein. we've tried all of the appetizers I have to say that they are all on point! The only complaint that I have is that I wish the egg rolls were Giant! lol Thank you Kang“

“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“

“Bring Halal meat, they will make it (party tray).

Few amazing things to talk about.
1. The owner and family are so nice. They are very pleasant and accommodating. You feel a lot of kindness when speaking with them.
2. If you eat halal, they will prepare their dishes with halal meat if you provide it to them!!!!!
3. The food is amazing. I am an ex NYer and I miss the halal chinese options we had up north, but thankfully this restaurant solves the issue. I especially love the chicken with broccoli and the general tsos chicken. Ive heard great things about the shrimp too. The food is amazing. Its ramadan and I'm hungry thinking about their food.“
