50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Louisville

“It was the best Chinese food I've EVER had considering the fact that I've went to many Chinese buffet as a Chinese food obsessed person in the tri state area if KY, IN, and OH. The food was so delicious and the dumplings were SO worth every bite and every penny! Their dumpling sauce is also to DIE FOR! Idk if it's and original recipe or not but I know one thing for Shure, me and my sis were for sure satisfied! Ty Double Dragon II for the delicious food! Hope I can come again soon 🤩“

“The sichuan dishes were so authentic. My family is extremely picky when it comes to Chinese food and Sichuan House was above expectations. The service was EXCELLENT. We even got to meet the owner and he was so kind. We can’t wait to go back soon.“

“The restaurant is always in clean shape except the bathrooms. Women's bathroom has a broken sink. The overall cleanliness of both bathrooms are below average. It needs a good deep clean and since we normally eat there for dinner, it looks like nobody checks on it throughout the day. This has been a consistent observation through many visits.“

“This little gem in Louisville has been a staple of great Chinese food for 15 years. Always friendly, this family owned business is a MUST when seeking to quench your Chinese food cravings. You will not be disappointed.“

“They're in a food court. There's nothing they can do about the atmosphere. The food and service are great!“

“Order my normal order of 1 large pork fired rice, 1 orange chicken, 1 general chicken, 1 order crab Rangoon, 2 shrimp egg rolls. Everything came out fantastic like always. Food is wonderful and hot. Love coming to this restaurant because it reminds me of a little bit of home. You all step up on the food and I truly appreciate it.“

“I picked up sushi for my daughter and son-in-law after she gave birth to my granddaughter because she could now have it. They loved it! The staff was very friendly, service was excellent and fast and my baby girl was happy, so that's what mattered! Asian Pot is a small restaurant but they're amazing! Don't sleep on this place!“

“Please note it's carryout only.

Clean, quiet, super friendly staff and fantastic food at good prices. Location on Southside can be a bit congested but you can sneak right out onto Strawberry for a light or a detour.

Will definitely be back. Pepper steak was awesome. Big menu. Recommended.“

“The food and service is excellent. I keep coming back for the General Tso chicken. incredible!“

“Wish I could only take a half star away because my food was very good it was hot and fresh. The crab rangoon is more like a dessert. There is no crab in it it's more like a fried cheesecake?..... However it was very good and my chicken and broccoli and fried rice was cooked well overall 4.5! I ordered over the phone she was very nice and my food got here very quick.“

“Stopped in for lunch today. Hidden gem! Rarely get to this side of town but we will be returning. Service was great. Food was phenomenal. Rice flavorful and sticky. Jalapeño chicken was juicy and the perfect level of spice. We inquired about their sweet and sour sauce as it wasn’t sickly sweet like what you typically expected at a Chinese restaurant and they told us they make it in house. Very good! Spicy mustard was even better. 10/10 would return“

“This tiny gem of a restaurant is a St. Matthews treasure. I eat there often and am always amazed by the quality, flavor, amount and prompt friendly service. Their curry and Szechuan chicken never fail to burst with flavor. I’ve truly always had a great experience here.“

“The service is amazing, portions are large enough to share. We order often and never had a bad meal. My favorite is the shrimp Lo mein and fried dumplings. Keep up the great job.“

“Highly recommend! Always great service!!! Dine at the bar- Michelle is AWESOME...“

“I go here at least once every week or every other week. The fried rice is the BEST and I will ONLY eat from this Chinese restaurant. The people that work there are very nice and I love the 2 ladies that work there. All I do is call to place a to go order, give them my name, and they automatically know who I am and what I get is how often I go here 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂. I would recommend to go here if you want to try some amazing Chinese food. They get 5 BIG STARS FROM ME 💜“

“This place has been my go-to & favorite place for fast Chinese food! I've literally been a loyal patron of theirs for over a decade. They provide the kindest service and I've always treated us with the utmost respect. Service like this is dying out these days. You will always be greeted with a smile and warmed by it.As for the food in my opinion it's one of the best Louisville has to offer and they don't get enough credit for that!The restaurant is always clean and maintained with direct sight to the kitchen. The kids love to watch them cook.I hope they have many years ahead and prosperous ones at that! And China 1, if you ever read this, thank you for all you do!

Vegetarian options: They have no issue making almost any dish vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: If you have any dietary restrictions that would be glad to make your food in an alternative way for you.

Parking: Plenty of open parking it's in a small strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: Pretty much warm smiles, they offer Chinese cookies on their menu, and pretty much always happy to see the little ones Ttrot in with their parents.

Wheelchair accessibility: Just roll on in and have some great food someone will always be there to hold the door for you too if you need it.“

“I would give a 3.5 if I could. This place is takeout only, so I went and placed an order. The owner’s young daughter took my order which was super cute. I got the sweet and sour chicken and the lo mein. The chicken by itself was pretty bland, but the sauce was good. The noodles were ok, but could’ve used a bit more flavor. Price is reasonable and service fast.“

“This is my most favorite restaurant. I wish they would get on to doordash so I could have it delivered across the bridge to Jeffersonville Indiana. When I worked downtown Louisville at Humana we would eat there at least three times a week. All of the employees loved this restaurant. Please consider going on to doordash. I am disabled and cannot drive anymore so I cannot go to the greatest restaurant in Kentucky or Southern indiana. Thank you“

“My favorite, The service is great and it’s always clean, the food is consistent and it’s delicious“

“We have been getting our food from here for several years, and we love them!!! Their corn nuggets are to die for… and my very picky eater loves their sweet and sour chicken!! Their lo mein is perfect as well, not too much sauce but not dry either. They are very friendly and fast with service!! Would recommend them to anyone hands down anytime… took us trying and failing several times to find the perfect Chinese restaurant for us and this place is hands down the best to us.“

“We ordered two entrees from Door Dash. A completely different entree was sent instead of one of the ones ordered. We called the restaurant and they worked with Door Dash to make it right. They went above and beyond, making sure that we had extras and we knew how sorry they were for the mistake. Door Dash took quite awhile to deliver it but that wasn’t Happy Dragon’s fault. Emphasis is certainly on the Happy part at Happy Dragon. Thank you all for caring! Also, the bourbon chicken is delicious!“

“I'm going to be honest. I thought I was going to a place where I could street fight, like in the game. This was not the case. 🫤 However, the food was good. That's why I gave it four stars. But if you're looking for a place to street fight, I would go somewhere else.“

“This is mostly a take-out place. There's a few places I guess you could sit, but you'll be staring at a wall.

I got a large order of veggie lo-mien. It had a nice selection of vegetables, and wasn't too sweet, salty or oily like so many Asian places have gotten.

They asked if I wanted any sauces, which I appreciate, since I never do, and I hate unnecessarily throwing away the 12 - 20 packets that most places dump in the bag.

Parking: The parking lot is small, but you can park in the shoppig center lot right behind and take the steps down to the restaurant.“

“The food is Great! The food is Great because they cook the order as it comes in, So it is not as fast as other fast food pick up's. Still they do have a drive through. It is worth the extra 5 minutes for this food.

Kid-friendliness: They are very nice here!“

“This is one of our Families favorite restaurants. Try their Orange Chicken, Shrimp Fried Rice, Spare Ribs, Pepper Steak and Beef and Broccoli dishes. Also, their shrimp egg rolls are Great too. Plus, their Friendly and they have your food ready within minutes. I definitely Recommend this business.“

“My whole family/friend group loves this place! We order from them at least once a week! Their hot and sour soup especially is my favorite food ever!! I think several of my esteemed fellow reviewers seem to expect a Michelin Star dining experience from a beloved small local restaurant which is unrealistic….take a Louisville gem for what it is and enjoy the awesome food and very nice employees!!“

“I have came here very regularly since I was a small child. They did change owners once, but they’ve always maintained great food, great service. They are very hard-working. They are very consistent. I have eaten at many Chinese food places around Louisville in my 32 years and a lot will honestly leave me disappointed and sometimes sick. Here I’ve always loved the food. I’ve always got great portions for good prices and the prices remain consistent over all the inflation through the years.“

“Stopping through Louisville and from Denver. Stayed at a local hotel and this place does not disappoint. My wife and I ordered the Kung Pao chicken, egg roll, and fried wonton and all were delicious. Super reasonable pricing but then again, when you're from Denver, everything is super reasonable. I doubt if I'll ever be through Louisville again but I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“this is one of my favorite lunch places downtown. the buffet has limited options but everything is hot and fresh.“

“This has been our favorite chinese restaurant for many years. They hace the BEST crab rangoon around! However, recently we have been getting served the wrong food. Which is extremely annoying. My husband has an allergy to some meats, so when we order one thing and get a different meat in our order, that is both concerning, & frustrating. I greatly hope that this stops and never happens again. But with this being the second time In a row that it has happened to us, my expectations of this actually being fixed isn't high.“

“I have only had take out from here I have to give a neutral rating for atmosphere. I can say however is that the food and service are great. I normally get an couple of quarts of hot sour soup which I take home and eat on for a couple of days. I have had HS soup from a number of eateries across Louisville. This is the best; very thick, rich and chunky.“

“Went by from church on the way home. It was takeout. It was really fast. The service was great and the food was great. Not as good of a deal as it use to be. It was just under $10 for the lunch special. I got Chicken with broccoli. It came with an egg roll.“

“Best Chinese in town!! Check out my YouTube review on Goodall’s Country Kitchen.“

“I absolutely love the Westport Rd. Panda Express! The staff are always friendly, and are sure to make you satisfied. The other day they were out of greens and said they’d make me a fresh batch without me even asking. The store is clean both behind the counter as well as the lobby. Even better is the fact I can get a plate with an additional side for $11.98. In 2024 that is saying something.“

“We dine here frequently but they just released the new spicy bourbon chicken and it’s my new favorite item on the menu. I hope it stays on the menu. Again, dine here frequently and will be back. This is a very good American Chinese cuisine restaurant.“

“Both times we've eaten here has been exceptional. We were pleasantly surprised by both the food and the choices, the service is very fast and personable. I consider this to be a hidden gem in the prospect area, it's difficult nowadays in my personal opinion to find restaurants doing sushi the right way and this is one of those places that remains consistent in service, choices, and quality of the food.“

“I’ve been eating here since there were Oscars and other fish in the wall! I’m talking early 2000’s, if you know you know. This place has always been the GO-TO spot! And if you like spicy, you MUST get that Hot Braised Chicken Combo Plate. They never disappoint, all the way down to their egg drop soup.“

“Best Chinese buffet within 100 miles. Very reasonable prices, and everything on the buffet is something I would eat - no filler food. Plenty of parking. They do not have shrimp with lobster sauce, but they have everything else, desserts, sushi, three buffet tables, lots of various shrimp dishes, chicken, beef, vegs, Hibachi. We usually stay two hours. Nice atmosphere, unlike Golden Corral which is incredibly noisy. Small senior discount.“

“We've been looking for a reliable restaurant for Chinese takeout and this is it! The family that owns and runs this place is wonderful. I'm addition to standard Chinese they also have sushi.

Exceeded expectations. We will be back.“

“Been eating here since they opened. Always love the food. But recently they have declined in quality. The food is not consistent the garlic sauce is so overwhelming you can't taste anything else. Vegetables are not cooked tender they are still raw. It's not a fluke this happens way too often.“

“Great place, food was perfect. Alot of places make chinese food greasy and bland, not this place. Perfect breading on the sweet and sour chicken which is rare and just all around everything was great. Very nice person working the front. Just very pleased overall.“

“Good food. Good prices. I would recommend the place to anyone who likes Chinese food.“

“Food was Delicious hot and Served with Perfection.
I had the Shrimp Egg Foo Young my Favorite Chinese Dish.
I'll be back again
Thank you ❤️
A very Happy Customer!!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get inside parking lot into building with no issues.“

“Eat there weekly. A Family favorite“

“Love this place! Their food is always consistent and taste amazing. It’s my go to spot if I want to eat out or treat myself.“

“Yummy! Always hot and Fresh! They let me customize my order which is great!“

“Singapore Mei Fun is unbelievable. Better than PF Chang’s Singapore street noodles. Amazing fried rice. Generous portions. Must try.

Takeout is best. Not much of a dinning room but works in a pinch.

Hidden gem in prospect/springhurst area. This is THE SPOT for Asian cuisine in prospect/norton commons area!“

“very good!“

“I’m genuinely shocked by the low ratings for Chinese Gourmet Express, particularly at the Greentree Mall location. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, frequenting both this spot and their location at the Mall of St. Matthews. In my experience, this restaurant never misses.

The food is consistently delicious, no matter what I order. It’s a favorite for my kids, too—they ask for it every time we visit the mall. The portions are generous, contrary to some of the complaints I’ve seen. For around $10, you get a meal that fills you up, which is a great value, especially compared to other mall food options.

The cleanliness of the restaurant has always impressed me as well. I’ve never walked in and found it dirty, which is a major plus for a fast-paced mall food court establishment. The staff are polite and efficient, making the dining experience even better.

The only downside I’ve ever encountered is the price of their drinks. If you opt for a bottled beverage, it’s not a full 20-ounce size, and the cost is on the higher side. However, that’s a minor issue compared to the overall quality of the food and service.

If you’re looking for flavorful, satisfying Chinese food while shopping, Chinese Gourmet Express is a reliable choice. Clean, friendly, and delicious—what more could you ask for?“

“Best Kung Pao in Clifton! probably the whole city in my opinion.“
