48 Best Chinese Restaurants near Riverdale

“Always crispy and fresh! I have never had a problem coming here. The food is delicious. I receive everything I ordered online and don’t feel the need to check my bag before I leave because I know it’s all there! I don’t live in the area but when I’m over there I make the stop for the best wings in Riverdale!“

“I’m visiting from nyc been here 3 weeks , and I must say this is the best food I ate out here so far. If you been in nyc and ate in the Chinese restaurant you will know this is just like being home! Hands down the best Chinese food in this section of Georgia !“

“Great place, came through as part of the carnival and craved Chinese food. Place was practically across the street, it looks like most other Chinese food restaurants and the food was ready in 15 minutes. Honey chicken was perfect, fried rice was better than any other place I've been, and the wonton soup was more al dente than anywhere I've been but I think I prefer a wonton dumpling that stays on the fork rather than a soft one that won't stay on the fork or chopsticks. I'll be back regularly while we are here and probably next year as well.“

“But I went there for some food Fried Rice King I love the Chinese food. The food was amazing.. I noticed they were all women in the kitchen which was great cuz this what's a maze in the food was good the vegetable lo mein was just perfect all that vegetable was just perfect I will be back I've been back there for years. Latest thank you I would recommend it to anyone those wings what great“

“Delicious as usual. I got the curry chicken, white rice and beef lo mein. You know if the inside of the building look like you should only be sitting to wait on your food and not dining in, the food is gonna hit. P.S.. Fried chicken wings are good too“

“Everything was tasty, just like it usually is at Panda Express. The food was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you expect when you come here.

The only small thing I noticed is that the portions felt a bit smaller compared to some other locations, but that’s really the only point worth mentioning. Overall, if you stop by here, you won’t be disappointed — you’ll get the same familiar flavors and quality you’re counting on.“

“I stop in at this PF Changs regularly, as I fly through ATL frequently. I always have great experiences. I do typically take advantage of their yummy breakfast menu but I love that I can also order traditional lunch/dinner food. Today, I just sat at the bar, as I was traveling alone. Danielle took amazing care of me. The food was delicious and fast. The drink was fantastic and, again, Danielle’s service far exceeded my expectation. Cant wait to stop in next week, when I come back through ATL!“

“Excellent choice Roast duck soup is the best I've ever had. Very polite and nice lady at the register which is very unusual for most Asian establishments when it comes to black people in particular and I truly appreciate that. Because of the service I will be a permanent customer as long as they are in my neighborhood. Great establishment indeed.“

“I dined solo tonight and had the best time ever! From the time I walked in I was seated promptly! My server took the time to explain certain food combinations and he placed my order quickly. He was Sharon’s brother, I can’t remember his name. Sharon checked on me frequently to make sure I was ok! And best of all…the food was simply delicious!!! Together… They were a great team!!! I’ll definitely be back!!!“

“I ordered their Thanksgiving party meal last week and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, the portions were great, and the packaging was very secure. By the time I got home, everything was still hot. Highly recommend — we will definitely order again!“

“I’ve gotten almost everything on their menu and it’s all been great! Wings are crispy af ? I used to live in the area but not anymore. Wanted to go this weekend possibly but it looks like they’re closed temporarily? I hope they reopen. ?“

“I came to Hot Cafe twice in one week—that’s how good it was.

First visit: I ordered the chicken pho and wow… the broth alone was amazing, almost giving ramen vibes. I also tried the fried chicken wings and the flavor was on point.

Second visit: My cousin got the red coconut curry tofu and it was absolutely amazing. I had the pineapple chicken fried rice, and once again—the flavor did not disappoint.

The Thai tea was great, though I do wish there were a dairy-free option since it’s made with half-and-half. That said, I don’t even like bananas, but their banana egg roll dessert was scrumptious.

The atmosphere is no-frills, but the customer service is a solid 10/10. Friendly, welcoming, and consistent food quality.

Highly recommend—clearly a new favorite. 🍜🔥“

“Possibly one of the best take outs on the south side. Food is amazing, haven't had one issue yet. Quantity is perfect, you get what you pay for. Delivery time is impeccable, they were within 5 minutes every time they delivered. This is my new number 1 go to spot for take out Chinese food!“

“When you talking about Chinese food this is the place to eat I’m from New York and this food brought me back to Brooklyn chicken was very crispy and flavorful my pork fried rice was delicious to I told them no vegetables in my fried rice and they made it perfect MOST DEF BE BACK“

“You’re about to see a bad review of somebody who blew up on the staff who is working their tail off on Christmas Eve. Just an upset customer, this place is fantastic and tastes amazing! Thanks for being open on Christmas Eve AND Christmas“

“My forever favorite restaurant and my friend at the front desk is the greatest! I live 40 min away and I will take that drive before I go to any Chinese restaurant! I call they know my order to the “T” …. Hey frienddddd I miss you ! See you soon !“

“Food is really tasty. It was my first visit.“

“I had the sesame chicken with fried rice the lunch special. Two vegetable fried egg rolls and drink. The chicken was delicious and the rice was too. Overall great place to stop for a quick bite. Fresh, fast and efficient. Service was great.“

“Let me let y’all know about this Chinese spot!!! I originally moved here being a native New Yorker and had a taste for some chicken and broccoli. Seemed like the other restaurants wasn’t hitting. I decided to give them a try after being in GA for about 2 months. Everything about them is customer service. Friendly welcomes, patience and most importantly FRESH and HOT food. They honestly are the only ones I go to and been loyal to from the time I moved here back in 2017. Not a buffet not another Chinese restaurant just China One. I have now relocated to another part of GA after living in Clayton county for about two years and I drive to them and spend my money with them faithfully for that taste that I want. If y’all don’t know now y’all know (in the words of Biggie Small) I totally approve and stand behind this restaurant especially if I’m driving 45 to an hour out just to get me my lunch special which if y’all go between the hours of 10-3:30 only available Tuesday thru Friday they offer that same quality food they make on a regular for a very affordable price and they hook the plates up. They know me on a family level! 🤣 When I walk in they know me for the no bamboo shoot and extra sauce on the side. Making me feel good because I am a committed woman. If ya’ll hit that spot up let them know y’all heard about them from me. Be blessed!! ❤️ Bxmami4eva“

“Primarily a carry out place with a few tables for dine in.

The food was freshly prepared and of excellent quality.

Our order consisted of Mongolian Beef, Mu Shu Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Crab Ragoons.

I would definitely repeat this order without hesitation, but I am curious to try something else from the menu.“

“Hey, I've been ordering for a min now and appreciate the love yall show especially the guy at the register mann. I'mma vegan and the fact that you guys offer general tso's tofu means yall are considerate and thoughtful and I appreciate that. Not too many companies offer those type of items. I will continue to support you all and im sure the city appreciate your business also“

“I'm not sure what the lower ratings are about, this is our first time here because it was next to the Laundromat which is super useful if you have to wait awhile. We didn't expect much, but it was delicious. We got the house soup, mai fun noodles, appetizers and cheese steak egg rolls. Everything was super fresh, hot and delicious. Makes doing laundry, fun.“

“An absolute hidden gem for those who can appreciate a more traditional house fried rice. I only order house fried rice when I come here, so my rating is solely based on this. I can almost say without a doubt that if you like good house fried rice don't miss this place. The portion size is on point for the price, the meat used is recognizable not dried cut up slithers. I like to see a good bit of egg in my HFR I didn't see that much this time so I ask why. I was told more people didn't want a lot of fried egg so they don't use as much but you can ask them to use the regular amount of fried eggs when you order. I hope you check them out for the House Fried Rice!“

“The food was delicious and the young woman who served me was extremely polite and was even apologetic when I came early to pick up my food cus I had to wait 3 extra minutes !!! Wait time is very good especially because the place was moderately busy! 100% would come again!“

“Fan freak'n tastic! Beef N Broccoli was delicious, steamed dumplings with that soy dippin sauce was hitt'n, and those Chinese dougnuts put my behind in a food coma. Everything was reasonablely priced and the food was ready LITTERALLY in 15min! It's nappy time now, it gets two finger licking thumbs up.“

“This place has VERY GOOD. They only thing I didn’t like the “chicken wings” they don’t taste like chicken and they are sooo small, bones and dry skin. I never tried something like this , probably the smallest wings you can find in this country“

“I've been coming here for years and have always been satisfied! Great take Chinese food; I have tried many different things on the menu. Good Service Good Food and Fast. The owner is friendly! The establishment is older and dated, but clean; and is above par for the area.“

“GOOD WINGS! good service always enjoy eating there.“

“I live up North but when I come to this area I always have to get food from here it is delicious never had anything bad and they are very nice! Customer Service is Top on my list!“

“The food is always good! The service is as the employees just want to take your money and get you out they face. No smiling faces. Actually as I came in to order the guy in front of me was complaining about the lady at the front. I don't know what transpired before I came in but she was being very sarcastic and rude. He asked for fresh wings, she said they would be there tomorrow and told him he asked a stupid question. The establishment is very outdated and just gives a very unclean vibe. Homeless people stand out front. Like I said the food is always good but no good customer service at all!“

“Good and cheap Chinese food spot. It reminds me a bit of China Express AKA “dollar scoop”. They advertise their food as 1 scoop for either $1.50 or $1.75 (I can’t quite remember). I was able to get a plate with lo mein, black pepper chicken, bourbon chicken, butter shrimp and a spring roll for under $10! All the food was delicious except for the spring roll. It was hard and had too much ginger or something inside it. I’ve visited twice recently and had good experiences. But I will say it pays to order in person, because the first time I used doordash to order online and go pick it up myself and it was almost $6 more for the same amount of food!“

“I work around the corner & I love egg rolls, so one day I decided to stop & & get me like 4. Lord. I am addicted. Their chicken egg rolls are so big, hot, fresh, & juicy. It reminds me of the egg rolls in Florida. Not that fake store bought shit. I hate that. I haven't tried their actual food yet but I see it says NY style Chinese & that's all I needed to see.
Maybe on the weekends when I'm not working, I'll try their food but their egg rolls are to DIE for.“

“I really liked this place. Very inexpensive considering what food costs in 2024. Specials are usually in the $5-7 range, which is awesome and allowed me to get 2 for a sane price. I have the General Chicken and the Mandarin Chicken, both of which were really good. What I like about this place is that it reminds me of good takeout places I went to in college, but it doesn't "taste like every other Chinese place". You know how lots of restaurants seem to use the same orange sauce? Not this place, it was different in all the right ways. The man that dished up my order was very nice and helpful for newbies that haven't been there before. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be back. Keep up the good work!“

“You can eat inside but this place is for more like taking out. You can choose with buffet style (one scoop $2.5) or from meal menus ($12~). I choose buffet style and took 2 kinds of cuisine, the amount as enough for one person for one meal and it was good. The price was super cheap. Probably I will come back again.“

“Hong Kong City is hands-down one of my favorite spots to eat! I come here multiple times a week because their food is always made fresh and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the difference with their in-house sauces—they add so much flavor and make every dish stand out.

The cleanliness of the restaurant is top-notch, and the customer service is always professional and welcoming. Everyone there is courteous and efficient, which makes the whole experience even better.

On top of all that, the prices are amazing for the quality of food you get. It’s hard to find a place that balances great taste, affordability, and consistent service like they do. Highly recommend Hong Kong City to anyone looking for a go-to spot!“

“Stopped here while me & co-driver wait for our trailer . Ordered orange chicken & lo mein & orange , Mongolian chicken & fried rice . Portions are great for price. Hot. Taste is bomb. Customer service was friendly . Clean inside. Idk what the previous reviews are talking about. Would come again. Thanks“

“I often order takeout from this town.
After trying many different restaurants, this one is definitely the best.
I really love their fried wontons and hot and sour soup.
I hope the restaurant can continue to keep up its great quality˞͛😏˞͛“

“I used to go here on occasion and get my usual order of egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, and the dry hoy fen noodles (HS8). Tried to order it again but they eliminated it. Apparently, it wasn't popular enough. It was the only different noodles from the lo mein.I'll assume people saw the word "dry" and said no thanks. Please bring it back, simply rename and it will sell. Maybe call it "teriyaki flat noodles with beef" or something like that because I think too many people just didn't realize how good it is...or was now that it's gone. Otherwise, I have no reason to go back. It was my favorite dish there.“

“We have eaten there several times food and service were good. Today the carpet in dining area was filthy. Needs to be replaced.“

“When you go to the mall the last thing that you think is that you're going to find any decent food. And unfortunately at South DeKalb Mall your food choices are extremely limited. However I'm happy to say that in the food court there is one restaurant that is holding on to its little spot in the corner and that is Mandarin Express.Freshly prepared Asian favorites such as Orange Chicken, Kung Pao chicken, and Black pepper chicken are available for your dining experience.Also available for a slightly higher price are items like Chinese green beans, Beef and broccoli, and Thai coconut curry chicken.And don't forget appetizers like vegetable spring rolls, chicken egg rolls or cream cheese rangoons.Of course it isn't five star dining however the food is fresh and hot and served with a pleasant attitude.“

“I don't like paying before I get my food ? I'm not trying to steal your food.. I work too hard for my money . Nice customer service.

Parking: I accidentally parked in front of a daycare center ! Immediately this Fat lady came outside very rudely yelling ( YOU CAN'T PARK THERE ) I guess she told took 2 mins away from her plate of Pork chops & Rice & Gravy ?“

“I visited around 11:09 AM, right at opening time. From the outside, the place looked closed, and when I went in, the staff didn’t seem very cheerful or energetic. As someone who’s soft-spoken and has social anxiety, it was a little hard to get their attention at first, but thankfully I didn’t have to repeat myself too much, and ordering was quick and easy.

I was torn between getting General Tso’s chicken and beef with broccoli. I prefer my General Tso’s on the spicier side, but when I asked if it was spicy, I didn’t get a clear answer. So I went with my safe choice—beef and broccoli—and I’m glad I did! The vegetables were fresh and still had a nice bite to them, not soggy, but full of flavor. The steak was decent, kind of gamey, so I’d give it a 6.8/10.

I ordered the lunch special but substituted the rice for lo mein (not sure what kind they gave me), and it ended up being the highlight of my meal! The noodles were flavorful and had a great consistency. Even with the substitution and a drink, my total came to under $15, which felt like a great deal.

Overall, the food was tasty and fresh, and I’d definitely come back again!! Next time I’ll try something new, maybe even the General Tso’s if I can get more info on the spice level!“

“My family's favorite Chinese restaurant! They are always pleasurable and ensure our order is made fresh every single time! My family enjoys a plant based diet and we eat here at least once a week! They even added tofu dishes to their Uber Eats menu!“

“This is obviously one of the most attractive place in the neighborhood. Always when I come to this place I am absolutely happy. They maintain their high level service and the topmost level of cooking they serve. You no doubt will love this place. Highly recommended.“

“Finally, I found the best chinese takeout restaurant.
If you are looking for New York style chinese food, you should try this place.
Best chinese takeout restaurant in ATL.
Chicken w/ brocoli, sesame chicken, general tso chicken, and wonton soup... two thumbs 👍 up.“

“Delicious food and excellent customer service. Also, they have a speedy delivery service.............“

“Regular here! I always get their XL house fried rice minus shrimp (allergic) and add beef. I tell you I’ve tried almost all the Chinese restaurants in the surrounding areas and this one here is by far the most superior! Always fresh like seriously hot and you can tell they literally just cooked it, the chicken actually tastes like chicken iykyk, great proportions and the host who takes the order is very kind and playful.“

“Welcoming and good customer service. Food taste good. My only complaint was them having a video saying we can try a sample but when you ask them to taste a meat before u get it they say they dont do samples. Which kinda sucks cause they sometimes have new selection of meat choices but Im unwilling to try just in case I dont like it and can not change it out.“
