8 Best Chinese Restaurants in Lawrence

“So my ex and I used to come here throughout our relationship, from 2018 to I think 2022, when they were only doing order pickups. I hope to come back soon to try their delicious authentic food. I tried the Chong Qing spicy beef in March/April, it was just like I remembered, spicy and delicious. The last time I came I think in July, the beef was cut differently, like long strips instead of the squared flat chunks and not as flavorful- but still pretty good. I guess my only suggestion to the restaurant is please follow the recipes you’ve followed before the move , because those are what garnered your popularity ?“

“The dumplings and fried chicken are delectable. My dream is for Seb’s to open seven days a week. It’s definitely my favorite restaurant.“

“Best Chinese food in town and in the surrounding area. We have tried a gazillion different Chinese restaurants and all fall short to China House. Who would know a small town would have such a great Chinese restaurant?. It’s very authentic, food tastes hot and fresh every time!! When we lived in the area we would order every Friday night. We just passed through while traveling and had to get us our fix. Of course it didn’t disappoint at all. We have tried many dishes there but we’d recommend the beef and broc combination, sweet and sour pork combination. Their house friend rice has great variety of the meats. Pork fried rice is fresh and pork pieces are crispy and delicious. Chicken fried rice has crispy chicken which doesn’t make for weird gray pieces like some places. White rice is cooked perfectly, not mush. Egg rolls and crab Rangoon always freshly fried. I love their hot oils as well. Would also recommend the veg lo mein. Noodles cooked great not soggy, veggies still have bite left to them, not super soft. Service is always fast and friendly. I always call in my orders and they are kind enough to repeat the order back to me to ensure it’s correct. The only sad part about this place is I live so far away from it now.“

“asian wok is awesome. consistently the best classic chinese food you can get in lawrence. i’m gluten free and they make me the best noodles literally ever. i love asian wok. come here hungover on a rainy day and thank me later. ps the duck sauce is so good.“

“EDIT TO ADD: Rick, the general manager contacted me same day and was amazing! Come to find out, Noah was brand new that day so, I understand the issue with the service. Waiting tables is hard work anyway and it’s especially hard when it’s you first day and you don’t know the policy. Rick also reimbursed my meal and apologized. In short, They were quick to reach out and rectify the problem, which I am very grateful for and impressed. My faith in HuHot is restored and I will remain a faithful patron! Normally we have a very good experience, today… not so much! Had the WORST server I think I’ve ever had “Noah B”, or at least in the bottom 3. He did not visit our table 1 time until he brought the check, no refills. Then, I asked for a box. . . I had been through the line 1 time, had eaten about 5 bites when my stomach revolted (not because the food wasn’t good, I have a stomach issue that causes me to occasionally not be able to eat, unfortunately I don’t know it’s going to happen until I try to eat) I explained this to the server and he still would not let me have a box. So 1 whole meal wasted. It took him 8 minutes to make change for our bill, and then he shorted us $3. The cook was very polite and cooked our meal well. I don’t know if or when we will return to the Lawrence, KS HuHot, but it wont be anytime soon. Do better!“

“I have to say that Tryakki is one of my favorite places to order takeout from in Lawrence, the staff are super friendly and the portions are very generous. It barely costs anything to add extra meat and their lo mein is always enough to have leftovers the next day.“

“Fantastic food! Ordered the appetizer sampler, General Tso’s Chicken, and Thai Mango Chicken. Every bite was beyond delicious and we definitely have found a new go to spot!“

“Great place go often ! 😁😁😁“
