50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Merriam

“As good as one would expect a Chinese buffet to be. Especially love their Honey Chicken. Only complaint is the floor is incredibly slippery. I've been there twice with different shoes and I always feel like I'll slip and fall. Slippery in the dining hall and especially the restroom, feet were slipping even when I was seated?!“

“I’ve been looking for a new Chinese place since my place has closed. Tao Tao IS my new place!!! The food is phenomenal!! Love “Mama” and Jennifer, the sweetest people ever! Thank you ladies! 🩷“

“This is my go-to place for Chinese. The food here is always fresh, hot and delicious. You can't beat the lunch specials.
Everything is good, my favorite is the shrimp with garlic sauce. The shrimp is big, they give you plenty of veggies and the garlic sauce is so good. The hot and sour soup is amazing and the crab rangoon has a lot of filling. The owners are super nice every time you visit.“

“The food here is so good, you don't understand. I am the manager at Exotic Pets next door so I have to fight not to go here every day, it is so delicious. I smell it all day and it makes my afternoon. DEFINITELY GO HERE. The menu is huge, and prices are great! One meal feeds me a big lunch for 2 days. Hot & Sour soup and Hawaiian Chicken are my favorite.“

We ordered 5 different dishes from the Cantonese menu(which is the more traditional Chinese menu).and gosh the portion sizes were huge and every dish was great. They all had their own distinct taste. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good sit down and order or even take out Chinese food.“

“The BEST Asian restaurant in the Northland! The food is absolutely amazing—every dish we’ve tried has been outstanding. The sushi is fresh and delicious, and the attention to detail is top-notch. You have to try the crab wontons—they’re a must! We just had the Tokyo crispy chicken, and it was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Honestly, I haven’t had a single thing here that I didn’t love. Chris, the owner, always greets us with a warm smile, and he and his staff make you feel truly welcome every time. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and such a friendly atmosphere—Saki is hands down our favorite spot!“

The menu had a great variety of classic dishes and regional specialties, and everything we ordered was packed with flavor Highly recommend if you're craving real Chinese food made with care and authenticity!“

“LOVE Sang Sang. Right down the street from my apartment and the prices are low but the food is excellent. They’re my go to take out place!“

“Good food, they give you a TON of rice but not enough shrimp

Fast forward to today (1/1/2026): I ordered my usual, Shrimp fried rice. I got home, and counted EIGHT DAMN SHRIMP in my order!! But enough rice to feed a small family. And to top it off, the shrimp were not cooked enough and I had to cook them some more. If this is not resolved by giving me a free meal, or at least at a discount off another meal I’ll never eat there again.

*in response to your response: me and my mother have eaten at your restaurant numerous times and there have been way more than 8 shrimp in previous orders. Maybe all the chefs should stick to the same amounts of shrimp & time they cook them so no one has to complain when they notice the difference. No worries, I just will not return as a customer.“

“Sushi is always fresh and delicious.“

“Absolutely some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in some time. The staff was super friendly and helpful! I will be going back anytime I’m craving this delicious food!“

“My family has eaten here for 20 years. We started when my daughter was less than a year old. There are still a couple of servers there that greet us and remember our kids. They always ask about them if they’re not with us. The food has always been the best Buffet we have found. Always full and love the flavors and variety. We’ve tried other places and nothing compares for the price. Very reasonable and trying to feed a family while eating out.“

“I grew up eating authentic Cantonese food, so when I moved to the KC area, I was disappointed by how hard it was to find. Then I discovered this place and every single order since has been consistently satisfying, which is honestly rare. I highly recommend it!“

“Never a disappointment. :) highly reccomend for a no thrills, good food kinda place.“

“The food was excellent. We ordered 2 orders of crab lagoon, sweet and sour chicken and the triple delight (chicken, beef and shrimp) all with steamed rice. With the assistance of an air fryer the leftovers were as good as the day we picked it up. I was hoping they had direct delivery so my elderly folks could order it more often. They dont like subscribing to delivery services like Doordash, Uber eats, etc... and they dont have a car due to their age. My dad hasn't been eating well lately so it was a pleasure to see him gobble this delicious food up to include the leftovers. ITS A WINNER.“

“Food was pretty decent! Good flavor. But what was best about our experience getting food here was that when my mother left her wallet sitting somewhere in the restaurant while waiting for our food, she got distracted and forgot it! She didn’t even realize until way late at night after close. Thankfully, whoever was working that evening noticed the wallet and put it away for safekeeping and my mother was able to get it back the following morning. She was extremely grateful and we admire the honesty and integrity of the employee and business! So glad they noticed the wallet and are clearly paying attention to their restaurant.“

“We have had many meals from Chang's Wok and it is always delicious! Every time we have called in an order they have answered quickly and taken our order with no errors. The House Special Lo Mein is my favorite item, and the Moo Shu Pork is a close second. The food is really good, you get a great sized portion for the cost, and service is quick! Will always recommend Chang's Wok to anyone looking for a new place to order Chinese take-out.“

“This place has amazing fresh food!! We came here after purchasing a car in Lawrence and needed to eat lunch. We live pretty far away but we will come up with reasons to come eat here or grab carry out. Really great quality and made fresh and still pretty quick amazingly!“

“great tasty flavorful meals. They gave the best egg rolls in town. They were perfectly crisp. They were not oily. I ordered Mongolian Beef and it was very good. The dish was plentiful. Their steamed dumplings were good. I prefer the fried dumplings.“

“Andrew and his team in the Market Grill are amazing! We came in on Saturday to feed our football team in between games and they did not disappoint! Food was fresh and tasted great. They let us spread out in the top seating area so our kids and families could sit and eat comfortably while we warmed up from the freezing rain and cold. Highly recommend them and will plan on stopping again the next time we play football nearby!“

“Food is great! Service is mediocre at best, almost makes you not want to order from there. Never a friendly smile when picking up food, spent over $80 and the owner tried to charge me for extra sweet and sour sauce while giving me one small cup for 5 meals.“

“The food was good and our server was responsive for the most part although my husband had to seek out the server for a drink refill. This was a delayed holiday meal with our adult children so we felt the server respected our celebration and allowed us to take our time ordering. The one thing that was a bit off putting was the smell inside the restaurant. The first table we were taken too had a really bad odor-think dirty socks. We asked to be moved and were taken to another area closer to the entrance about 25 feet away from the first table. The smell was still somewhat present but tolerable.“

“We just had my son’s 14th birthday dinner here. All the food was great and the service was excellent. Our cute waitress Kylie made the night by bringing my son a birthday cookie with a candle and sang happy birthday to him all by herself it made our night. Thank you“

“My favorite Kansas City Chinese restaurant since 2009! Excellent service, delicious food every time, wonderful people. We try to come here as often as we can when we’re in town. KC friends- if you’ve never been, go! 😌“

“I really love this place in downtown OP. All of their food is delicious 😋. Super sad that they don't offer their half order and full order of duck anymore. It was by far, one of my favorite items on the menu...keep up the great work, and bring back the duck!“

“Really good food I ordered is the sweet chicken breast and good food rice of it ,really good I will tell you that is the best food that from a restaurant ⭐️⭐️

Dietary restrictions: It really kind to me when they say like if you needed something

Kid-friendliness: That it make us happy and the people who treat us kind“

“Beautifully remodeled. Pharmacy staff wonderful.“

“First off, they actually play Chinese music. The restaurant is clean. The service is friendly and attentive. The food is very good. I got the beef with green peppers and it was delicious as was the General Tsu's shrimp. I will definitely come back.“

“Other than a colossal problem with grubhub (what a pain).... we loved the meals. We all ordered off the special anytime meal menu and all received separate dinners. The food tasted great but we really wanted it delivered and ended up picking up the dinners in person. They were hot and very tasty.“

“I'm pleased. It's regular take-out Chinese however, it's fresh and the sauces are not cloying and gooey. The seasonings are perfect; no need to add salt, just the right amount of heat in the spicy dishes, and no nasty fish sauce. The food was delivered quickly and was nice and hot. It's also nice that they are open later than other restaurants.“

“Food and service was amazing for what me and my wife got they were also willing to give her a different dish she forgot to tell them she didn't want vegetables with no arguing they were quick to change music was loud hard to hear over it and also the setting was nice

Parking: Getting a parking space is easy backing out and driving to the street is a little more difficult when parking lot is full“

“Miss rainbow is absolutely wonderful. We come here often cause the food is good.
She remembers conversations that we had last time.We were there even if it's a month ago. They have fare prices. They're absolutely wonderful, and I recommend them every time“

“The food was very good and fresh. The owner himself prepared our lunch.“

“We had the Lemon Chicken and St. Louis Style Chicken Fried Rice...AMAZING! The lady verified that we wanted the lemon chicken and asked if we wanted to switch to an orange chicken or honey chicken and I'm so thankful I continued on with the Lemon Chicken. Got the sauce on the side. The chicken was crispy and delicious and the sauce was exactly the light lemon taste I was hoping for! The crab rangoon and fried rice were also on point! We're only in town for a short visit, yet we'll be sure to visit this place again!“

“Loved the food. The staff did not seem very interested in greeting nor thanking us. We felt as if we were botheting them. We had carry out which was hot, fresh and very quickly delivered.
I just wish we had better customer service.“

“Always good!!!“

“The waiter refilled our drinks several times, although he seemed very busy. However, the busser was quite slow and didn’t have the best attitude. She appeared distracted by her phone, which made us unsure if she was part of the staff. I think there’s room for improvement in employee training. The waiter did apologize for the experience, and I hope management takes this into consideration. The food, however, was excellent.“

“Food was very good and very fresh! Had a great amount of options as well. It was also extremely affordable. My friend and I went during lunch and paid under 20 for our meal, including drinks! I was shocked, considering how good the food was! Honestly had a great time here. Would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting the next time I'm in the area“

“Amazing food, amazing staff!“

“Excellent value, quality food, great service. It could be cleaner but I know running a restaurant this big is a massive job. Love the place and the kids want to go every week. We sincerely appreciate the Senior discount.“
