46 Best Chinese Restaurants near Dayton

“Number one“

“This restaurant has the best food you will ever eat. Service is outsranding However Mike needs to shut restaurant down for a day of professional cleaning. The hanging decorations are full of so much dust and the carpet if filthy“

“From the moment we made our reservation, we were treated to a hospitality and warmth sorely lacking in today's world. While we went at noon, the music and decor were as relaxing as an evening or even late- night event. Our server Simeon was professional and committed to make our meal a memorable one. At our request, he described different dishes, telling us what he recommended and what to expect. He was attentive without hovering. The food was as outstanding as was the service. While the shrimp toast appetizer, Wong's chicken, and Clay pot were delicious, beautifully prepared, we were overwhelmed by the presentation, taste, and experience of the coconut bread pudding with rum sauce. We will go again soon..“

“I've been going here for years. I go there for the best tasting, best prepared food I've ever had. When I'm close to Anderson I stock up on their food. Their lunch menu is one of the best deals you can get.“

“Best Chinese food in NKY! My favorite is the bourbon chicken and bang bang shrimp. My family loved it so much I had to come back and order more the next day. The staff is very nice and the building is very clean. Nice little trinkets for sale too. Will recommend to all my friends“

“Everything was fresh and delicious, but the birria ramen was the star of the show! So good!!“

“We eat here at least twice per month. The food is always fresh and terrific. Favorite is the Chicken Pad-Thai, and crab rangoon, but everything ordered has been delicious. The atmosphere is relaxing and classy. The family is always friendly and service is great. Dont wait on a table next door and spend two or three times for “ok” food and service.“

“Sichuan Place is a fantastic spot for authentic Chinese cuisine with flavors tailored to your spice preference. Whether you love bold, fiery heat or prefer something milder, they’ve got you covered. The Red Dry Chili Chicken is a standout, and the Sweet and Sour Pork ribs are children's favorite. Pepper Beef is always my favorite. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring your meal suits your taste. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Sichuan flavors!“

“The owner is such a kind woman! Please, community of Delhi and all over do continue to support such a generous business owner, mother, restaurant and community member with her restaurant growth and existence. I was blessed to formally meet her this evening. She had a beautiful story to tell and I just pray the community continues to eat there and pay it forward for people's children to be able to eat in uncertain times. My daughter was fed tonight and we are grateful and thankful for that. God bless you, your restaurant and family. The food was AMAZINGLY GOOD!♥️🙏🏽“

“This is the best Chinese restaurant I've been to in the US. I haven't spent too much time in NYC, so I cannot compare to those, but I spent many years in SF and LA and have not had better than Sichuan Chili.

I no longer live in Cincinnati, unfortunately, but I am in town maybe one week per year and make it a point to visit Sichuan Chili multiple times. I will even freeze it and bring it home to Texas, where the Chinese food by me is mediocre at best.

We have several go-tos (not in any particular order):

Mapo tofu - lots of heat, but great flavor. Big and bold.

Hot pepper chicken - this stir fried dish of jalapenos and chicken is excellent. There are times the head is overwhelming, but it also is loaded with flavor. It is not just a spice bomb.

Hot and sour soup - my kids like all hot and sour soup, but I am yet to find one as good as the one from Sichuan Chili. It is very black peppery, but in a good way. It tastes different than any other hot and sour soup I've eaten.

Chinese style kung pao - this is different than regular kung pao - lots of ginger, different vegetables than the US version. I am a huge fan.

Green beans - these are excellent. Smoky, flavorful. My middle loves szechuan green beans and these are extremely good.

Eggplant in garlic sauce - this isn't necessarily better than most Chinese places, but it's good. They have 2-3 versions of egg plant.

Salt and pepper shrimp - vinegary and tangy. They come skin and tail on, but the deep fry makes them easy to eat whole.

The above are our normal go-tos. We've tried several other things over the years. Some have been hits. Some have been misses. The only thing I've eaten there that was truly bad were the salt and pepper ribs. Hard to describe why, but it was a total fail.

I assume many of the other reviews mention this, but there is an authentic menu and an American menu. We normally eat off the authentic, but the lunch specials are all off the American menu and I've tried a few. Even the American menu food is better than most Chinese restaurants.“

“The manger on duty Brendan, made sure our experience was flawless. Our server Brad was great and you could tell that management does a fantastic job supporting their staff. Running food, checking on tables. All in all 5 stars. Katherine the bartender is top notch service and hospitality! I love this place!“

“THE BEST Hot and Sour soup I have ever had. I travel a lot and enjoy the opportunity to stop by. The place gets crowded, so come early or you may not get in right away.“

“Amazing Amazing Amazing don't let those bad reviews full you...after reading them you can tell they are from when place first opened place has improved 100 once again AMAZING..even Amy our server Amazing. Highly recommend“

“I loved coming here with my family as a kid. Im so glad they revived it and still serve amazing chinese food. We ordered Sweet n Sour Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, Sesame Chicken, regular fried rice, some rangoons and some chicken on a stick. All was great!“

“Very tasty made-to-order food. I’ll be coming back for more.“

“Always fresh ! Mongolian beef is my fave ! also nice gent in front who tells me different things to try every time i come in there“

“Went for my first time tonight, very happy. Lady who fixed my order was very kind and patient as I got myself together after braving the cold weather, and trying find my glasses, haha. I got noodles, sesame chicken, and coconut shrimp. All of it was hot and tasted good. Menu seems like tradition Chinese-American restaurant favorites, and is very reasonably priced for the portions. I got enough food for 2 dinners, and spent less, before tip, than I do at most places for 1 meal. The dining area was very clean and cozy. Overall, I'm very glad I stopped in and will be back!“

“Mongolian Grills are BACK!!!!!“

“nice pretty fast service. love it“

“I have been to this restaurant about 5 times now and I’ve got to say best Chinese food around here when it comes to taste and value incredible portion sizes and just overall good food another thing I can say every time I come to this spot is how clean the food tastes no old oil here I’d recommend over dragon city if your in the area any day of the week“

“General Taos chicken combination eggroll and brown rice.“

“GREAT FOOD hot and sour is great“

“Kevin Ling was our server a few weeks ago and I still haven’t stopped thinking about his kindness and the yummy food. My dad and I had an amazing experience dining in — we had the entire restaurant to ourself since most people were ordering takeout. Kevin will tell you all about his hometown in China, so don’t be afraid to ask :)“

“I ordered from this place for the first time. I had the Sweet and sour chicken. Price was OK because of the small size they gave me. But it was the worst sweet and sour chicken I have ever got from a Chinese restaurant. The coated chicken had all dough and hardly any chicken. And on top of that they don't give enough rice , very small serving. I know that most of the Chinese restaurants around the USA buy the chicken already dipped in breading, so I not sure where they get there little chicks from!!“

“This is a classic family-run Chinese restaurant. It is primarily for take-out, as accommodations for dining in are rather sparse, and their website does not show an option for delivery... but everything that I have ordered there has been good - I particularly enjoy their hot and sour soup.“

“Unbelievably tasty and consistent. I've been coming here for nearly 30 years and the new family that took it over some years ago does an even better job than the previous family.

It's always hot fresh and consistent every time I come it's about the only place I'll even eat on colerain avenue to be honest.

Kung Pao chicken and spring roll we're absolutely perfect I can't wait to come back. Thank you guys for your consistency and very tasty Chinese food.“

“Grew up eating Golden city because it was close to my house, became my favorite place to eat moved to Northern Kentucky and have had plenty of other places to, try hands-down Golden city is the best Chinese food around will travel there for their food. It’s so worth it.“

“I was glad we stopped in there. Food was excellent!“

“This is a great place to get authentic Chinese food the staff is actually from China so they cook really good food and it's not overprised.. I have actually been coming here for years it's a good little spot and if you wanna sit and eat it's usually not that crowded they mainly do take out and drive-through.“

“I literally LOVE this place. My fave & go to Chinese place. Only reason I gave service 4/5 starts is because the time they close is different everywhere listed!!! Online it says 8, but I think their in-store pamphlet menu says 7:30. I also wish they stayed open later. :(“

“I’m the little Boy you always see sitting in the corner by the vending machine and I can say it’s good“

“I honestly love the food at this place. This may be one of the best Chinese Cuisine spots in Cincinnati. Their Lo Mein and Rice has always been cooked perfectly and they didnt skimp out on the meat. I have noticed the quality of alot of Chinese restaurants have gone downhill over the years but this place fills the gap. Prices have gone up on all Chinese food but this place actually can justify theirs.“

“Busy as befits the delicious food and huge numbers of menu offerings. My favorite place to get Asian take-out.“

“We got the orange chicken and fried rice sesame seed chicken with a fried rice pretty good the only reason they got four out of five the rice was a little under season wasn't a fan of the egg rolls but there's still time to try other ones they have but overall it's still a solid place to get something to eat“

“I have eaten at this joint since I was a kid. The food and service are always 10/10. My favorite food is curry but never had curry chicken from a Chinese joint before. I was NOT disappointed!!! If you enjoy trying new dishes I definitely recommend the curry chicken and onion dish!! 🙏❤“

“Food was fantastic, restaurant was clean, and David was helpful and friendly! We loved it and will be back! Yessir!“

“This is our go-to Chinese take out. The food is always good and both my wife and kids enjoy it. The kids get the chicken lo mein and sweet and sour chicken that they call Chinese chicken nuggets. The lo mein is flavorful and the noodles are tender. The sweet and sour chicken was crispy.

I got the beef with broccoli and pork fried rice. The beef was flavorful and the broccoli was cooked perfectly, still just a little crunchy and bright green.

My wife gets the bourbon chicken which is her favorite. It is delicious. She also ordered the cheese wontons (crab Rangoon) and they were crispy and full of filling. The pork egg rolls were good too.“

“I took my 2yr old and 7yr old here for lunch and they had a fun time cooking their own food. We got the bento lunch and it was delicious. I recommend the miso broth and spicy chicken. The mushroom broth is very light and tasty too. They keep napkins in a drawer under the front of the table which was very helpful with kids. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My son was fascinated by the robot server. We will definitely be back soon. One of the best dining experiences we've had in a long long time.“

“Wow! I had never been there before. Good selection. I couldn't believe how much food we actually got for the money! They piled in high in our containers. And it was very delicious 😋! We couldn't even finish it. We will definitely be back 😁!“

“Ordered a large carryout for around 20 people on a Friday night and they were easily able to accommodate. Jason was super helpful and even let me know when I had ordered too much food and fixed my order, which turned out to be the proper amount. He even threw in some Crab Rangoon on the house. I'll add this place to our usual rotation when I need to feed the staff. 👍“

“I have to say, I’ve been to many Chinese restaurants over the years, but I’ve never been treated as well as I was today. The gentleman up front taking orders was incredibly kind—he kept bringing me little bites to enjoy while I waited for my food. We had a wonderful conversation about everything from DoorDash drivers stealing orders to all sorts of other topics.
To top it off, the food was absolutely fantastic. I ordered the curry chicken, and oh my goodness, it was incredible. I’m heading straight back there after work tonight to try something else—I can’t wait!“

“Love the food and their egg rolls are my favorite out of all the Chinese restaurants I have been to and the employees always are very kind and polite every time I have came in and placed my take out order I recommend this Chinese restaurant always their amazing“

“I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience here. The food is always consistently solid and good the staff is always very helpful and whether dining in or ordering out the food is always packaged with care and the restaurant is always clean really everything I'm looking for. We are the food weekly from here for work and have gone several times on my own it's a very solid choice for the area If you want some Chinese food.“

“We were looking for recommendations for lunch after we went to the zoo. We had delivery from this place probably 5 years ago and it was so good. I talked to my friends about revisiting today and boy I'm so glad we did! Not only did we have super size portions, The food was fantastic! I recommend anyone taking a trip to the zoo to check out Ninja grill afterwards for lunch!“

“This place has excellent food. It is very clean. The chicken is beautiful white meat. I absolutely love their chow mein and chop suey. My 10-year-old son who doesn't even like Chinese food loves this place. He said I would rate this place a 4.8“

“This place deserves a much better rating than what currently has! My family, including my “picky about ‘chewy’ chicken” wife, all love Magic Wok! It’s all fresh and well made, and their sauces flavorful without being just straight sugar. Highly recommend Magic Wok! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
