50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Temple Terrace

“Ok so I had the Szechuan chicken, orange chicken, and steamed dumplings. The prices are great especially for the portion sizes. Would’ve been 5 stars but the Szechuan chicken isn’t great, not spicy, almost no flavor at all. The orange chicken is very good and the dumplings are great. Take it for what you will.“

“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!“

“Tried this amazing Chinese restaurant last night on a whim. I’ve always heard lots of good things about here, especially since it’s across the street from my job. Food was soooo good. Got some General Tso’s chicken in a combo platter, pork fried rice and white rice. Everything was hot, cooked perfectly and so delicious! Good prices as well! Highly recommend this fine establishment! Will be ordering from again!“

“We moved here from New York we couldn't find any good Chinese restaurants as good as up there but this one here is just as good. Food is always fresh my husband is a hard one to please he only wants Chinese food from New China if you looking for good Chinese this is the place ... By the way the beef and broccoli is delicious it's prepared perfectly...“

“This is real authentic Chinese cuisine more specifically it’s northern Chinese cuisine. Very similar to what you would find in Beijing or Shenyong. They had a great selection of beef, chicken, pork, lamb, shrimp, dishes, and skewers. They also had more exotic fair, such as squid, frogs, chicken feet, pork belly, beef heart, beef tripe, and duck bleed. It’s pretty awesome! The service was great even late at night and we really loved the cucumber salad and the grilled eggplant. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves authentic Chinese cuisine.“

“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 💎“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at one of Tampa's best restaurants, and I can confidently say it was a top-notch experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere from the hostess, Alexis set the tone for what would be an unforgettable evening. A special shoutout to GM Jeremy, whose leadership is clearly reflected in the seamless service and impeccable attention to detail. He made sure every member of my party was treated like royalty and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect along with our selections of wine! Our server Bailey, was attentive, professional, and incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. The bartender, Gabi offered advice on what cocktails to try and they were phenomenal. Best bartender ever! My daughter's roommates ordered the Summertime Silk and Aperol Sunshine while I tried the Florida Summer Martini. All were fantastic! Bailey's knowledge of the menu and her suggestions were spot on. Her professionalism and friendly personality made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Now let's talk about the dishes we tried, family style is the way to go. The flavor and presentation is just impeccable. We got the tiger shrimp, mala chicken, truffle sui mai, fried rice, egg plant, brussel sprouts! Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Whether you're a local or just visiting Tampa, this is a place you need to try. The combination of exquisite food, exceptional service, and a welcoming ambiance makes this restaurant a must-visit. Hands down, this is one of the best dining spots in Tampa, and I can't wait to return in February or try the one opening soon in Hyde Park!“

“Best restaurant to go for a family restaurant good food amazing service“

“We were a party of 6 and everything was perfect the service, ambience, and food with the exception of the crab Rangoon We order crab Rangoon practically every Chinese restaurant we go to but this one was fishy tasting. I know it is crab but this tasted bad. We told waiter but he said that was "normal". We didn't press the subject but definitely won't be ordering it again.“

“Great customer service and friendly people!“

“Friendly staff and delicious and hot food! We moved from dallas and are new to the area - our first search for Chinese Takeout was such a hit that we don’t have to look any further!! What’s better - The woman at the counter even gave a recommendation so that we’d enjoy our food even more! She is so nice and again the food was so hot! We loved it! We sat in the restaurant to eat - there’s 4 tables an inside to enjoy your food on!“

“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.“

“This place is 15 minutes away. I have to overcome four places to get there totally worth it. They are wonderful people. Wonderful food absolutely worth the drive. My boyfriend could not get enough of the egg drop soup you guys rock thank you“

“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!“

“Just the atmosphere is so nice. Been 2 times and got boba and a dinner combination platter of general tso's chicken and vegetable chow mein.(And there to go boxes are not foam they use the plastic ones that you can reuse) If you like general tso's chicken spicy the way it's supposed to be it's amazing and it's so fresh and good that I would recommend to anybody in the area or out of the area if you want Chinese food go to this place because you will really like it especially for the boba is made really good instead of using fresh fruit though they used fruit jam which is like a puree but it's really good and I think that if you like Chinese food this place is one of the freshest places that I've been in a long time. Except for Kobe's of course lmfao.“

“Great Chinese style noodle place, the dishes are authentic, great taste, and very reasonably priced. The restaurant also presents a nice warm vibe, decorations are nice and the menu is well made, overall recommended! Will come back for more!“

“Quality of food has remain consistent and great. My last visit was over 6 years ago but the food still taste as great as I remembered. Very small staff and food is made to orded so there is some wait after ordering but it is worth it. They have alot of take-out orders constantly so wait can be more than 20 minutes when dining in. Will come back again when craving good asian food. My personal favorites are the pork/shrimp dim sum (shui mai), house fried rice along with their salt & pepper calamari which I ordered.“

“Listen, I came into Pei Wei at Westshore a simple, hungry human being — and I left a changed man. A man who now dreams in spicy, glorious visions of Kung Pao Chicken.

First bite? Fireworks. Not the Fourth of July kind — more like the “your mouth is now throwing a full-on rave and forgot to tell your brain” kind. I don’t know what ancient sorcery the chef back there is practicing, but that Kung Pao Chicken hit harder than my Wi-Fi bill after a Netflix binge.

The chicken was tender like it had been serenaded for hours before it ever saw a wok. The sauce? A perfect storm of heat, sweet, and “oh dear God, someone hold me.” The peanuts added a crunch so satisfying, I’m pretty sure I made audible noises that scared a family two tables over.

Service was fast and friendly, like they could sense I was teetering on the edge of starvation and culinary enlightenment at the same time. They handed me my meal with a smile that said, “We know what’s about to happen to you. And we approve.”

If you don’t like spicy food, that’s fine — order it anyway and become a better person. Personal growth tastes like Kung Pao Chicken, and I have no regrets.

Pei Wei Westshore: Changing lives, one mouthful of spicy goodness at a time.“

“Favorite Chinese in the area, always very polite and efficient!“

“Tasty Chinese food,would totally recommend!“

“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.“

“Giving my review as I'm eating it. Visiting in the area and took a chance. Happy we did, taste like old school Chinese food from back in the day. Ordered on door dash, food came hot and a large amount. Smelled amazing, shrimp was clean. You just have to call if you want to make any changes to the order (no onions etc) but they were nice over the phone also. This experience gets ***** 5 stars“

“very nice food! staff kind and will kindly put fortune cookies in your bag. but i put four stars for “atmosphere” because it is a little under cared for. unclean floors, only a couple din in tables. but overall five stars. thank you amazing china wok team for your great food and service!“

“Just celebrated a friend's birthday at Grand Fortune and was blown away by the improvements! Last time I visited was right after they opened, and it wasn’t up to par. But they've clearly stepped up their game – every one of the 12 dishes we ordered was a hit. Heard they got a new chef, and it shows. I'm definitely returning; hope they keep this chef around!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I LO💖E THIS PLACE. I HAVE THE BEST DUMPINGS AND THE DIPPING SAUCE IT'S SO FLAVORFUL AND SEASONED RIGHT BECAUSE THEY MAKE IT FRESH IS SO GOOD DEFINITELY THE VERY BEST IVE HAVE HAD ANY WHERE HERE IN FLORIDA SINCE I LEFT NYC 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“This is my go-to take out Chinese. They're always quick with the orders. It's usually ready when I get there, and it's always tasty. The people who work their are always polite. I have yet to have a problem.Definitely recommend you order ahead. This IS the pick-up spot in my opinion. At least in my neck of the woods.

Vegetarian options: Mixed vegetables are great. Haven't tried their bean curds, but if everything else is an example, it should be awesome.“

“Today we ordered Beef and Broccoli and their House Fried Rice. This was incredible. If you have not gone it will take you a bit to go over all the options on menu! This exceptional restaurant is a hidden gem! Go and Enjoy!

Parking: Parking lot in a strip mall.“

“Hands down 1 of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ever had. The food is amazing and tasteful it has flavor unlike sum places. I’ve had Chinese food all around fl, parts of New Jersey and even New York and Canada. I would choose this location over any other place I’ve been to. FAIR PRICED. I’m currently eating my normal order from a place in pasco and it’s bland and costed more 🤦‍♂️ should’ve waited til I got home to go here.“

“I have already tried this place multiple times, so I feel confident giving my review. I'm surprised by the current rating, this place is five stars. The food is delicious and fresh, the portions are generous, and the ingredients are high quality. The restaurant feels clean, they use good packaging for takeout, and they have about 4 to 5 tables for dining in.

I enjoy picking up my lunch here because the service is great, and the staff is very friendly. Their lunch specials are my favorite, and I go at least once a week to get my lunch. They are also very quick at getting the food ready.

Overall, I love this place. So far, it's my favorite spot for Chinese fried rice and General Tso's chicken in Tampa. I highly recommend it, especially for days when you don't feel like cooking, have a craving for Chinese food, or need a quick lunch for the office.

The photos show the General Tso's chicken, fried rice, spring roll, and steamed dumplings, everything was delicious.“

“I can imagine whoever posted that happy birthday ?? video was just trolling but anyways ???? but anyways happy belated birthday lol anyways the food here is great NY style Chinese food I believe there originally from Queens New York great food recommend to anyone.

Parking: Alot of parking

Kid-friendliness: Yes very

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes alot of space“

“I have a new go to takeout place! This is the BEST egg drop soup I have ever had. The eggs were perfectly creamy and a wonderful flavor. The roast pork egg foo young was delicious, as was the gravy that came with it. Portions were hefty, so lots of leftovers!“

“I'm completely satisfied every time I eat here. The food is always cooked to perfection. There fast and very friendly. I think it's the perfect place to get your next meal. Also, I have to say, everything I've tried so far has been amazing in taste and quality!“

“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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“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“

“BEST STEAMED DUMPLINGS IN TAMPA! i crave these dumplings truly. i get them once a week at minimum! i only order takeout here - there is no in-house dining. but it's a small, family run spot with absolutely delicious chinese. i also love their lo mein and fried rice. but the dumplings are truly my favorite.“

“This place is priced well, reliable and quick. They have never messed up my order. I recommend to anyone just looking for a quick option from somewhere that’s good. It’s not let me down. Every time I order there they say “10 minute. “ It couldn’t be more true they’re terrific. Great job!“

“We ordered the house fried rice, honey chicken, vegetable delight, and crab. rangoon. The first thing I noticed was that the food wasn't overly salted, and that was a good thing. Everything tasted good. It's not the nicest place, but it looked clean. The bathroom was out of order, and that wasn't a good look. The staff wasn't very friendly but our order was correct so I can overlook that. Overall, I would order again.“

“They really know how to prepare and cook their dishes! The Boneless Spare Ribs was tender! Other restaurants in the past has been tough like shoe leather. Not New China! Portions were awesome, the General Toas Chicken was the best! The owner doesn't treat you like a number but he's friendly and patient. The staff is great too. Great job and I hope you will be there for a long time.“

“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.“

“super rico iguales que los de PR 💪💪💪 lo mejor“

“I love it!! Ive been going there since I was a kid.the service is Fast ,and I could never complain ..Fresh ,and just wonderful food.(with most that I've tried)..Philly cheese steak EggRolls🔥🔥🔥🔥chicken wings🔥🔥🔥🔥 jumbo fried shrimp🔥🔥🔥 Beef and broccoli 🔥🔥🔥“

“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!“

“This used to be the top dim sum in the Tampa Bay Area. I’ve noticed a few of the most popular dishes needs a little bit of tweaking. Xiu Mai as well as the fried turnip cake is dry. If these 2 dishes can be fixed, I believe the restaurant will regain a lot of their customers. New dim sum places have popped up and have overstepped Ho Ho only because they’ve managed to make these two dishes extra tasty ;-)“

“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.“

“I used to go to the one on 50th street, they were Amazing. Then they sold to some people who don't know how to cook Chinese food. I was upset. Then I found out they had another store New Far East from Paul the Plumber. They have the Best Food in Town... 10+++++++ Everyone should go.“
