17 Best Chinese Restaurants in Lexington

“This is my second time here it’s just as good as the first time. It’s cooked to order and there is more rice under the chicken. It’s enough for two servings maybe even three. Their eggrolls are yummy and the veggies in it have been fresh both times. I got the general tsos with white rice and eggroll it’s the combo. Very good food honestly no complaints“

“Best pork soup dumplings I’ve had out of NYC! Everything was delicious. Staff was extremely nice. 10/10!“

“Shun Lee Restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience: exceptional food, attentive service, generous portions, and a welcoming staff. Every visit feels polished and satisfying — ideal for both special occasions and relaxed dinners.“

“Delicious! The best Mongolian chicken! I swear I have searched all of Lexington looking for this Mongolian chicken recipe, and nothing else compares!“

“We love doing drinks and Minne appetizers at the bar for happy hour. The quality of the food is always awesome and our server and bartender at the Lexington mall location is terrific. She is so nice and always happy and smiling and very engaging to talk to you. This location service both at the bar, happy hour, and sit down is always terrific. Clearly the managers and the general manager are doing a terrific job.“

“This is my favorite local Chinese place. My family has ordered from here about once a month for the last few years and it never disappoints. :)

The staff are always really nice. The single time they forgot something from our order, they sent another delivery with an extra soda, which was a nice surprise.

Their noodles are especially good! You should get an extra side order to have for lunch tomorrow. :)“

“This is a nice place ... but someone ("Christine" often in the names) has loaded a bunch of reviews that all begin "Just moved here from Cincinnati..." Nevertheless a good place, I gave 5 stars.“

“I came here for the first time last night. I was pleasantly surprised. The gentleman at the counter was very kind, and he was more than happy to explain the menu items. The prices are very reasonable too. And you can see them cooking your food. When I got my order, it was enough to feed 2 people! They are generous with the sauces too. My meal was very hot and the fried rice is full of flavor. I will definitely be recommending this restaurant to anyone who wants good Asian food.“

“It's been quite a while since i have had this restaurant's food so I can't really give an honest opinion on that, but what I do remember of it is that it was good. The restaurant itself is rather small. The service had been, and is still really fast and on point! No problems ever ! I love good fast take out place! With this China King, that's what you get. ENJOY!

Parking: The parking is adequate .“

“My partner and I really liked this place! We got takeout, but inside the restaurant was clean and relaxing to be in.
The service was very good and we thought that the prices were quite fair considering each order was easily enough for two meals for us. We definitely had leftovers!
The food was really delicious overall! We really liked the orange chicken. We didn't think that the fried rice had enough vegetables and egg, but that's ok. In the future we will just get steamed rice :) I highly recommend this place for takeout!“

“Excellent taste beef with broccoli. Opted for white rice which was very fluffy. Will definitely order again when in Lexington“

“They are very friendly and accommodate requests. As many Chinese restaurants cook for the American, the food can be sweet and not very spicy. But if you put in comments, less sweet/more heat, they will do it! One of the better Chinese restaurants on our side of town.“

“Excellent foods!thank you“

“Been getting our Chinese food from here for years. It’s SO good! Had a top-notch experience last night that prompted me to write this review. We called at 10pm and they still took our order even though they were technically closed. They were so kind and made our food super quick, and it was so delicious. Beyond 5 star customer service and food!!“

“First things first: Cheng’s is a wonderful restaurant with a gig-delivery OR customer pick up model and no seating for diners. We prefer to pick ours up which gives us a couple of minutes to enjoy the fragrances wafting out of their kitchen. The food is well prepared, fresh, and well packaged for the drive home. The counter service is polite and efficient. The parking is easy (they also have a drive-through pick up window). If you go pick up a paper menu to make ordering easier the second time. FYI, the five stars for atmosphere is because the waiting area is comfortable, clean and smells delicious.“

“This is the best Chinese food place! It’s a family-run business that still gives tremendous customer service despite COVID. There is no indoor dining right now, but their carry-out service is still great. Masks are worn and social distance is maintained. I’ve never had bad food here. My food is always hot when I get home, and all food is nutritious and appealing. I especially love the vegetable bean curd soup and the vegetable rolls. I’ve also had some of their vegetable dishes. Portion sizes are generous, and the customer service has always been superb. I highly recommend Wah Mei, located in the Hartland Shopping Center on Hartland Parkway, Lexington, Kentucky.“

“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in town. I love to chat with the owners as well. It's a very friendly environment in side and the food is amazing. I've been going here for years. I love the hot and spicy chicken but other things as well. The sweet tea is top notch. The fried rice is so fresh.“
