50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Temple Terrace

“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.“

“EXCELLENT Fresh, mid-afternoon meal (1530).

All of the favorable reviews were spot-on. Service was great (only 4 tables occupied at the time I was there). My English “Chicken Soup Hot Bowl, little bit spicy” got me exactly what I wanted except a spoon. I chop-stocked my way through it and drank the broth from a bowl like I was at home!

Great meal, rice noodles were super fresh as was the vegetables and the quail egg was a nice touch.

I highly recommend this spot!“

“The food is always great! My favorites are the Beef Hunan and the dumplings. The Beef Hunan is always perfectly spicy, and the dumplings are nice and crispy with a great crunch.
The food comes out quickly, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Some of the best Chinese food in the area!“

“Honestly I’ve always really enjoyed coming here (2 years now almost)! Their egg rolls are always on point, I love their mixed veggies, fried wings and sesame chicken. The pork fried dumplings are amazing as well. They are always nice and that is another reason I go back.“

“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 💎“

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

“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.“

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

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

“I got my daughters the kids California rolls and they hated them, which was unfortunate. They hated it for being spicy, I didnt think it was at all. But I might have a high tolerance. I thought the food was great. But I dont think they catered the kids food to kids pallets.

I also got a Japanese old fashion and it was pretty good too.“

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

“This place is one of the best fast food Chinese restaurant that I’ve found in the Tampa Bay Area. I live in Pinellas County and I’ve been to a number of To Go Chinese restaurants and always feel disappointed with quality and taste of the food, but this spot was on point!“

“Originally from NYC visiting Tampa. Live on Space Coast. Been looking for Moo Shu anything for years. Got the Chicken Moo Shu and Shrimp Lomein. Best Chinese American food I've had since NYC. Large portions. You won't be disappointed.“

“Great food, great friendly service, great price , everything I ordered was prefect! I don’t normally do reviews but China One definitely deserved one 10/10
And the art work from their young daughter on the walls is amazing she is very talented!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“A truly wonderful experience of food and culture. Went here with a friend and had the Shrimp and Cashew- there was a lot and so good!
Service was fast and they even threw in some Dim Sum and this wonderful dessert after our meal. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“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 was amazing, authentic, and extremely flavorful. It's a must-have“

“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.“

“First of all I wanna said how amazing the owner of this place is, He is incredibly nice and has very good service and I ordered Wonton Soup and Some Crab Rangoon and let me tell you, THIS WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD EVER!!! I come by to the store almost every Saturday and Sunday after work and I always order the same things and it’s soo good!! Also I get the fried dumplings and it’s so yummy!!
Second of all, all of my siblings love their chicken and fries and spring rolls because they all were AMAZING!!! I love this place. And usually my parents would always go here to get lots of yummy food for parties and everyone, and I mean EVERYONE loved the food, it was truly delectable and a pleasure to eat. Though out of all of the amazing Chinese food places there are in this wonderful world, this could be a top 5 on the tier list of most delicious Chinese food ever!! I rate this amazing place because of the quality delicious yummy and kind workers that were there, 5 stars.“

“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 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“

“Shang Hi is a great neighborhood Chinese spot. We ordered the General Tso’s chicken and pork fried rice, and both were delicious. The chicken was tender with the perfect crispy texture, and the pork fried rice was really flavorful, loaded with bean sprouts, and thankfully had no yellow food coloring. The owners were also incredibly nice, which made the whole experience even better. It’s always nice to support a small business with great food and kind people — we’ll definitely be back.“

“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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“best Chinese in tampa bay ♥️😀“

“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've heard that this was one of the better Chinese spots for years now. Ya know what? You guys were right. It absolutely ranks towards the top of my list thus far. It tasted fresh. The fried rice worked really well. The chicken was cooked extremely well with texture and tenderness. The sauce was great. It had a very balanced flavor but could have been more on the spicier end for my liking. This is that spot where I definitely want to go and try other things. Have you been?“

“A solid little Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. I am so happy it is around the corner from me. I am actually picky and this one does not disappoint . No MSG in its food which is big for me. Also the chicken chow mein was just right with lots of chicken. Very generous 1 qt portion. The crispy noodles were not greasy. In other words this place knows what it's doing for good Street Fare Chinese. The people are helpful and courteous too. I'll definitely go back for other dishes and I'm sure they'll be just as true to basic Chinese food that I grew up with in New York City . They have a lunch menu as well.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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’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!“

“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!“

“Listen, does this place look horrible outside? Yes. But it’s hands down, one of those gems with great food, small family owned, everyone is really friendly when I come twice a week and they keep the inside dining room area way cleaner than most Chinese places I’ve been to. Prices are low to average in my opinion a when you tie in the good food, it’s a great deal. I wish they would add more tables and chairs, and maybe start advertising dine-in options because they definitely have the space for it. But for now I’ll stay happy because I get to dine in after work in peace with minimal noise and people 😜“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
