50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Roeland Park

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at China Star, and it was hands-down one of the best Chinese food experiences I've had in a long time. 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!“

“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! 🩷“

“We live nearby so we frequent this restaurant. Best Chinese food in town, with the best prices. I usually get the chicken lo mein, crab Rangoon, and hot & sour soup. Everything is always phenomenal. I’ve tried about 10 different items on the menu and nothing has let me down. The service is fast and they are always friendly.“

“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.“

“I stopped here on the way back to Iowa. Parking was a bit tight because I was in an RV, but I managed. You can't go in to eat. You can walk up or drive thru. I walked up of course. He quoted the food would be ready in 15 minutes, which seemed a bit long. But it was actually ready in about 10 minutes. The food was phenomenal. I ordered Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken. Both were fantastic. I highly recommend this place.“

“The new owners are outstanding. We come here at least once every two weeks, more like every week. Their crab Rangoon is the best any of us have ever had (group of 4-5 always). Their steamed dumplings are fantastic. Service is always friendly and fast. We order a lot of food - typically 3 orders of crab Rangoon (for extras), steamed dumplings, at least 2 orders of beef and broccoli and other cantonese dishes. Every dish we’ve ordered is the best Chinese food we’ve found in MO or KS. My husband always gets a soup, the wonton soup with the chili sauce was his favorite. He says the hot n sour soup is also amazing. Orange chicken, honey chicken, Mongolian beef, beef lo mein - seriously amazing. This place should be much busier than we see it!“

“Came out on my 50th birthday to celebrate. Our entree was served and I asked our waitress, we never got our appetizers, what happened? So our food sat at the table getting cold while I ate my soup. The waitress served hit up the two tables in front of us but we only got looked at every third trip. Drinks sat unrefilled sadly while the other two tables got helped. I heard the host ask the manager about sitting us there as she already had 3 tables. Now I know why. Not the birthday lunch I was hoping for today.“

“This is our favorite spot! Food is always so fresh and delicious! Hot, fresh, large portions, quick friendly service and wonderful sushi!“

“I ordered online the estimate online said ready in 15 min i waited 15 then drove to the restaurant.

They were very busy food took over an hour

The food though was great i would definitely eat again just took forever waiting at the store“

“Other reviewers are complaining about the fact that this isn't authentic Chinese food. Get over it. This neighborhood isn't bougie enough for that. Go somewhere that's gentrified, you hipsters. The food may be Americanized but who cares? When you've been partying and you need something quick and tasty to help you bounce back and you are in no mood to leave the house, these guys got you covered. We ordered the Pu-pu platter, some fried dumplings, sesame beef, and moo goo gai pan. They told us it would be 30-45 minutes before it arrived and they had it there in 20. The food was hot, tasty, and just what we needed. Super generous portions on the entrees too! We had plenty of leftovers for later. The dumplings, the pork ribs, and the teriyaki beef were especially good. I'm going to have to party super hard again sometime just so I have an excuse to order from here again.“

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

“Always enjoy Panda, but it still bothers me that they don't either cut the vegetables & teriyaki chicken smaller or at least have knives avail. Also wish their Rangoon actually had crab or even imitation crab in it instead of just cream cheese.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, amazing staff!“

“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!“

“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“

“I had the BEST vegan meal I have ever eaten in Kanas City at Bo Lings, Lenexa, last night.
Rebecca Clark is part of the family who owns BoLings, and she is vegan! Vegan Rangoons! Crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside tofu! Vegan General Tsos Tofu with the best ginger brown sauce. OMG!!!! When I get rice dishes out I usually receive 2 to 1 rice to tofu, leaving me with a lot of leftover, plain white rice. I really appreciated that my dish at Bo Lings-- on second serving -- had an equal amount of tofu as the first serving.
They have a lovely, quite dining room with booths, and are open on Sunday!
Thank you, Rebecca, for creating a complete vegan menu with so many delicious appetizers and entrees to chose from. I am so happy!
Should mention: Bo Lings has several locations. Lenexa has all the vegan items, other locations vary.“

“My wife and I found this place back in 2011, when we lived a few blocks away... but still drive across town to enjoy their food. Some of the best Chinese we've had in KC in this price range. Atmosphere is only a half-notch above your typical strip mall fare, but service is always great, and the food is consistently good.

UPDATE: We stopped by last week after a long time (we live on the other side of town)... food is still excellent. Talked to the owner for a bit, and it's obvious she and her husband are working very hard to take care of their customers.“

“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! 😌“

“We’ve actually never dined in at this place either. It seen they are more often pick up and to go.

very lack of dine in, but its quite place, we had our food with to go too.

And in a way, that makes everything

I’m about to say feel even more genuine.

without the restaurant atmosphere adding to the experience, what remains is the food itself, and the people behind it.

From the very first pickup, you can feel that this is a place with real warmth.

The woman at the front often alongside her husband has this natural, easygoing energy that immediately puts you at ease.

She’s a good conversationalist too, and over time, she even remembers what you like to order

a small gesture, but it makes you feel recognized, seen. She doesn’t have to try to impress you; she simply makes you feel welcome.

Of course, there are busy moments when she and her husband are running around and might not greet you right away

and that’s completely understandable. It’s a small, family run place, not a polished chain.

But even in those moments, they always offer the best smiles.

If something is ever forgotten in your order, they don’t just let it slide; they communicate promptly, and sometimes even call to have it delivered to your home. You can feel that it’s done out of genuine care, not obligation.

The food carries the same kind of attention. It’s thoughtful, comforting, and consistent.

Nothing feels rushed or careless. Every dish is prepared with intention, and even on busy days, the quality remains steady.

It’s the kind of cooking that quietly earns your trust, and over time, that trust grows into appreciation.

I sometimes read reviews that label this place as “bad,” and I honestly can’t understand them. Some feel less like honest feedback and more like people arriving already frustrated, ready to criticize instead of noticing the effort and care. There’s a difference between pointing out issues and dismissing a good, hardworking restaurant outright.

This isn’t a restaurant trying to be flashy or trendy. It doesn’t pretend to be something it isn’t. It’s a small, family-run Chinese spot doing its best and doing it with sincerity, warmth, and consistency. Those qualities don’t always show up in pictures or quick judgments, but they matter more than anything once you experience them.

I will absolutely be coming back. Not because the place dazzles you, but because it makes you feel genuinely welcome, and the food quietly reminds you why it’s worth returning. That combination — care in the food and in the people is what makes a small restaurant unforgettable.“

“Best sushi I have found in all of KC, went to some recommended spots that were expensive, tiny portions, lack flavor and rice that was mush, always end up back at Me. Le's, I would eat here more but they take time off between lunch and dinner and my mid shift job has lunch at 2pm.“

“Wow! We have eaten here many times and been very delighted with the food. Today however was a different story. This is the first time we have ever ordered on a Sunday. Maybe the lower quality was because they were trying to use up food because they are closed tomorrow? We ordered general's chicken chicken lo mein and egg rolls. The egg rolls were obviously reheated in the microwave and so chewy that we could not even invite them. The chicken lo mein was awful. I guess the low main part was okay but the chicken tasted like chicken that had been in someone's refrigerator for three or four days and been reheated. Although the general's chicken the chicken was good, you could not even bite through the onions and the broccoli was hard as a rock. Because we have had good prior experiences I will try to order here again but maybe not on a sunday?“

“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!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews for anything but I’ve been going here for years. I’ve shown a lot of people this place as well and everyone loves it. Best Chinese food I think I’ve ever had. Never had a bad order. Great service and great food. 👍“

“We had the most amazing Father’s Day family dinner there today 6/21/26. And the service—the best in town!!! We had the family dinner which is about $20 per person (there were 9 of us) and we brought lots of leftovers home. Welcoming environment, generous portion, and incredible service all around. 100% recommended.“

“Beautifully remodeled. Pharmacy staff wonderful.“

“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.“

“Ordered delivery, came fast enough food was still steaming hot. It was the best orange chicken I have had in a very long time! Chicken was still tender, not heavily breaded, amazing flavor! The fried rice was a bit too dark and not many veg but the flavor was fine. Eggrolls were very good, I should've ordered more!“

“Always good!!!“

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

“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.“

“Amazing experience the sushi was wonderful and the train of food kept coming great service will be back“

“Food was excellent. The prices are affordable and the portion sizes are good too. Fried rice spiced medium, egg foo young gravy on the side. They will make it home you like it 😋. I ate All of it before I realized I wanted to leave a review. Pics don't do it justice.“

“It was great, but wish they would keep up with the demand for the egg rolls and crab rangoon, please keep that end of the buffet filled.“

“First time in this place today, and we love it. Foods were freshly cooked, and still very hot when they serve it. Neat and tidy little place .... offers everything, from catering to deliveries, and you can do it online or by phone. We will surely be back very soon.“

“Hands down the BEST Crab Rangoon you'll find anywhere!! Not bland at all!! And the fried rice is amazing! They actually give you extra broccoli if you ask! Sorry but everywhere else we've tried I've never received the extra broccoli when I ask! You won't regret ordering or eating in from here!“

“Loved this place! Had crab ragoons, with Vietnamese Spring rolls w/ peanut sauce. All were great! The provided egg drop soup was delicious. I got the hot braized chicken and it did not disappoint! Lunch portions were perfect and we seen the dinner portions and they were plenty!“

“Highly recommended for people who prefer light diet. Dishes are low oil and low salt, healthy and fresh with original food taste. The fresh elegant environment is perfect for healthy meals. Well-matched dishes and gentle service win great favor.“

“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“
