50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Louisville

“I’ve been to Chongqing and Sichuan province in China twice, and had many meals there. This restaurant is authentic and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Sichuan brisket noodle soup and the Chongqing spicy chicken. I never thought I would be able to taste these flavors again without traveling back to China, but I am so thrilled to have found this place! 😍😍😍“

“Sadly this location has really gone downhill. Less people then used to be here. Time to get food from kitchen excessively long. Server was great. She told us the owner tried to cut labor costs and cut kitchen staff. Plus the ac was not working. She had to wear an ice necklace to stay cool. Insane.“

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

“Great American version of Chinese food cooked by real Chinese people.
They should care about how the place looks and feels more.
It is clean, but empty. Looked like a warehouse when we visited.
They should offer a true chinese food menu.“

“01/15/25: I work down the street and a co-worker and I went and ordered takeout. fast, friendly, fair and & DELICIOUS!!! The attendant hand you a ball and points you towards the bar and you can add whatever you want to your bowl and then they cook it up in front of you with your choice of brown rice white rice fried rice or noodle! The prices is based on the weight. $7.99 per pound. for the two of us, we spent $22. y'all don't sleep on this place!“

“First time I ever ate Chinese two days in a row! Food was perfectly made. I thought all fried rice taste the same until I tried theirs. Manager Tony is as awesome as the food! Gotta try their new Thai Tea it is also very good! My opinion, best in Louisville!“

“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.“

“What a pleasant surprise! The staff were so friendly, and the wait from ordering to being served was practically nonexistent. The food was absolutely delicious—I can’t stop thinking about it. I really want to go back and try some of the other dishes!“

“If you are looking for a higher quality Chinese restaurant this is the place. Prices are higher, but the quality of meats are fully represented. They also have a Korean Menu if you ask and their dishes are amazing. Highly recommend this place if you want top tier food.“

“I ordered several times and the food is always hot and delicious. I tried a few of the combinations and they are just as good. Best Chinese restaurant around the area. Staff are friendly and order is always ready to pick up in about 15 minutes and it's correct.“

“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!“

“Chicken cooked very good has a crispness to it that many fail at. Rice was avg at best the only thing stopping it from getting a 5 star is general Chicken sauce is a little to sweet and a bit to thick. But overall a good place for lunch or dinner“

“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.“

“Best Chinese ive had in louisville. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Food was great. I love the way the cook the chicken. It was all crispy. We had the braised chicken and the general chicken. Everything had good flavor. Portions were good size. Actually a bit much. We couldn't finish. We will definitely be back!“

“We’ve loved Yen Ching for at least 15 years. The food is awesome and the staff are friendly and welcoming. We have tried the tofu with vegetables in garlic sauce, Mongolian beef, and beef with vegetables in garlic sauce. Wonton soup and Crab rangoon are the best around! Highly recommend this place! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“We got honey chicken, broccoli in spicy garlic sauce, and lo mein. All were fresh and delicious. My only wish is that the broccoli was spicier, but it was still very hood. They also gave us free veggie rolls and they were great too! Portions and prices were good too. Very friendly atmosphere as well. This was our first time ordering from here, but it definitely won't be the last!“

“These guys never miss. 54 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals, and a block! I’ve been ordering from here since 2004 and it’s still just as good as 20 years ago. Best sweet and sour chicken in Louisville. Best Chinese in Louisville. Their bourbon chicken is something special as well, and their fried rice. They need to go back to their old egg rolls though but they still get an A++ from me.“

“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“

“They’re my favorite Chinese cuisine spot. I’ve been only eating Chinese from here for four to five years and it’s the most consistent restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food and service is always amazing and they keep their restaurant very clean including the kitchen. Would rate a 10/5 stars if I could 🙏“

“Been coming here for years now, honestly one of the few places around that actually gives real portions of their food. I always have plenty of leftovers and extremely good flavor and seasonings to boot.

Seriously can't recommend this place and really hope they can get even more successful to get their own bigger building someday.“

“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.“

“We had a great time at King Buffet! The selection of Mandarin dishes was impressive, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The restaurant was clean, and the staff kept everything running smoothly. At one point, they quickly refilled a dish we liked, which we appreciated. A very satisfying visit overall !“

“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.“

“I love to find hole-in-the-wall Chinese. The food here was good: big portions. We both had the Moo Goo Gai Pan. Incredible sweet tea...and a billion odd things you dont normally find in a Chinese Restaurant, like multiple frozen slush machines.

The a/c was out so they had fans blowin4g everywhere.

It's in a rough neck of the woods so be prepared. I wouldn't seek this restaurant out.“

“Since a couple of Chinese restaurants have shut down in Louisville, I've been looking for one to call my favorite. THIS is it! Best Mongolian Beef in town BY FAR, and I've sampled Chinese restaurants across the city. The menu is expansive; hard to imagine someone who likes Chinese food being unable to find something to eat. The food comes in generous portions, and the restaurant presents a very clean, orderly atmosphere. Servers are quick to respond, and very courteous ....we have never been disappointed by the service here. Prices are very reasonable. We are going back this week for a late Father's Day dinner to celebrate my becoming a grandfather!“

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

“This is the best Chinese restaurant in Louisville I’ve ever been to, and the only one I’ve been to since eating here the first time. Everything tastes so fresh and hot. The cooks are so efficient! I noticed they recently changed the inside a little bit and I love seeing them grow and be able to make changes. Highly recommend. This is coming from someone who never leaves reviews but they absolutely deserve it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My entire family has been coming here since I was a kid. Almost 20 years. I’ve watched the owner’s daughter grew up and go to college.
Now I take my own kids here on the weekends for a nice treat
Some of the best Chinese food in the city. We live almost 45 minutes away now, but still make the trip just for some good Chinese food and amazing company!“

“I have ordered probably 50 times by this time. They would know. They are amazing. They are fast, they have messed up maybe 2 times, only forgetting drinks those times, but they offered to bring the drinks to me. They called to say they would be very late because they were backed up and they were very nice about it. They always treat me nice. They put in coffee news when I ask. I always get delivery. I will always order from here. Food is amazing, it's not for everyone, but if you don't like it, go somewhere else. This is my favorite delivery chinese restaurant.“

“I’ve been going here since 2019, even through Covid. The people there have always been nice and consistent.

The portions are quite large, which makes the pricing valuable. So order a small unless you have very big appetite.“

“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.“

“This place is delicious! The people in the kitchen work their butts off to prepare very delicious food. The people up front are very good at their jobs aswell, they're nice and will treat you very kindley aswell. I think (like any other restaurant) people may have their specific opinions about this place but it really just depends on you specifically and what you like! If you want good food then I think this would be a good option to choose from☺️! And the drivers there are dope aswell!!“

“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.“

“We met friends at this new restaurant and really enjoyed it. There is a small eating area, and it seems to do a good carry out business, too. We all ordered different dishes and each was prepared fresh and brought hot to our table. The Crab Rangoon was very good, and the steamed chicken and vegetables was, too. Won Ton soup was a full bowl and looked good. Rice was good, egg rolls- ok.\nThe staff seemed friendly and helpful, when ordering and serving. I would definitely go there again.“

“This is my FAVORITE Chinese food restaurant! I have been going to this counter service restaurant for over 25 years and, by far, they have the best moo goo gai pan and crab rangoon that I have ever had! They always get my orders right. However, I do recommend taking it to-go. Their dining room isn’t the best. But they do have several tables if you need to eat in.“

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

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

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

“Honestly, the food is good, but the hospitality is even better. I wasn’t expecting such a genuine and sweet service. It really makes a difference when you’re taken care of by someone so thoughtful. Definitely coming back for the great atmosphere!“
