43 Best Chinese Restaurants near Chalmette

“Deliciously amazing food and service on Christmas day! Thank you for the food and kindness.“

“Literally my favorite Chinese spot. I live far from this restaurant, but idc I’ll pay the extra mileage doordash fees everytime. Their kung bo beef is divine, the beef is super tender and the flavor’s all there. The perfect amount of heat. It’s always fresh and affordable. My go to.“

“Hot Wok Buffet & Lounge is a casual Chinese buffet stop in the Chalmette area that’s all about variety and value. It’s not downtown New Orleans proper, but if you’re craving all-you-can-eat in a relaxed setting with a wide range of Asian-inspired dishes — from sushi and stir-fries to classic Chinese comfort foods — this is the kind of place where you can happily fill your plate and go back for more.

The vibe here is unpretentious and laid-back — think casual buffet with big portions and options that suit lunch or dinner without fuss. The menu has a mix of seafood, rice and noodle dishes, dim sum-style bites, and even some American favorites tucked into the spread. It’s the sort of spot that’s perfect if you want to graze through lots of flavors without spending too much.

That said, some people feel the food quality can be inconsistent and that not every dish hits the mark — but the friendly service and the all-you-can-eat buffet format keep the experience fun and satisfying overall.

For me, Hot Wok is best approached with an open mind and a big appetite — it’s simple, hearty, and stuffed with options that make it feel like a casual feast rather than a refined meal“

“We are frequent diners at Miss Shirley’s. The food is always delicious and the service is always impeccable friendly. Miss Shirley’s staff makes you feel like family.“

“A true neighborhood gem on St. Bernard Ave. The homemade shrimp egg rolls and everything fried rice are absolutely fire — cooked fresh to order and the portions are massive, easily enough for two full meals. The parking lot stays packed all day which tells you everything you need to know.
Super friendly staff, fast service, and super affordable prices. Closed Mondays so plan accordingly. One of the best Chinese takeout spots in NOLA, no question.“

“The best food, the tastiest drinks and the perfect atmosphere.“

“Amazing spot! I wasn’t sure if I would be able to find any spots in New Orleans where there would be authentic Chinese food. If you’re not looking for the traditional American Chinese flavors you must stop by this spot. Truly a hidden gem!“

“I'm in town for an event and needed something to take back to the hotel. I was craving some Chinese food, and chose this one based on star rating. I live on the Gulf Coast of Alabama and the Chinese food is absolutely terrible, small portions, yellow rice(for fried rice), and expensive for the amount of food. This was the best Chinese I've had since leaving California. It smelled great, and tasted even better, and at a reasonable price. You should appreciate what you have here, I would definitely eat there again.“

“I like the lil boxes! Nobody has them anymore. The food stays hotter longer! I always get their Combination Rice! Best in the City!“

“We stopped in for wings and shrimp, #7 & #57
The food was excellent, large portions, very tasty.
Small looks a bit sketchy but the food is great and server was very friendly. Great prices. We would recommend this restaurant.“

“My husband and I come here all the time and it is so good!! The shrimp tacos and grilled chicken wraps are some of the best we’ve ever had. 1000/10 recommend!“

“Drove through Louisiana and randomly picked this place to eat. Always wary about Chinese cuisine, but everything we ordered was amazing. I have been to some good Chinese restaurants but this place was exceptional and is one of my top picks now! Will definitely get again when we drive back through! Thanks so much!!“

“I’m rating this place by the last time I ate here… I think maybe 23 years ago at this point in my life… this is my biased opinion. This is how I grew up… this place, as a child, were the happiest moments in my life with my family and friends. Life happens. You don’t see people and they go away like the seasons… but I need to go back to the 504 soon. I miss this place so much and all the reviews and pictures make me reminisce of my childhood… when I was innocent and had less responsibilities… my parents were great for spoiling me for the rest of my life on Cantonese cuisine. There is and will never be anything better… there was a place in, Utah that came close. I do believe a family member of the owners started his own restaurant. Their Lo Mien is just as good.“

“The food is really delicious. This is a Chinese restaurant I frequent. They have a wide variety of dishes, and the service is excellent. Those who like this kind of food should definitely give it a try.“

“I’ve been looking for a good Chinese restaurant for a long time and I can say this place is the best. Everything was so good. Even the crispy noodles were awesome. If you want the best Chinese food at a great price you really need to try this place you won’t be disappointed.“

“Súper recomendable. Se come bien, buena atención y excelente porciones.“

“The food is consistently good. I been coming here for years and it never disappoints. It’s gotta be a family business because that’s the vibe you get in there. I love the sesame chicken and their shrimp and broccoli and don’t forget to add a shrimp egg roll. If someone has had a bad expirience I can almost promise you it’s the exception. Love this place !!“

“The food is so good!!!!!!“

“China Wok is an excellent take out restaurant with fresh, made to-order dishes. The orange chicken is one of the best I’ve ever had flavorful, perfectly cooked, and served in generous portions. The shrimp lo mein is also very tasty and well prepared. While there is no dine in option, their to go service is quick and convenient. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality Chinese food with great portion sizes“

“This is hands down the best Chinese restaurant for take out in the greater New Orleans area. It is a family run restaurant and my orders are always perfect. Great food, well priced, friendly service, and good quality and quantity. I live in the CBD but always come here for my Chinese takeout. I highly recommend the chicken and broccoli with shrimp fried rice and the crab rangoon.“

“I have been eating and having takeouts from this yesterday for years now, I can't get enough for their food it's just that good especially the rice and chicken. The owner and staff are really kind and friendly, we are always having small conversations and the overall atmosphere of the place is calming and relaxing. It's a great place to eat out with your family or have some alone time to yourself.“

“I only get take out and have never had a totally bad meal, but was a little disappointed with my chicken wings the other day. They were a bit salty. The soup was very good though and I've had a few other items as well. I've been getting food from them for decades. They've been around a long time.“

“The best ! Honey chicken, sesame chicken, shrimp fried rice are serious !“

“One of my favorite Chinese joints“

“Everything you'd expect from a solid Chinese restaurant in New Orleans. They have all the classics and favorites, the sauces are very consistent and the service is always nice. They offer tofu dishes and let me change the sauce for variety. Delivery fee is very affordable, always arrives promptly, and they're good about following delivery instructions. I've never been disappointed, it's my go-to spot in mid city. The general tso and orange sauce is on point!

Vegetarian options: Consistently good fried tofu. I get the general tso tofu and I'm happy every time.

Dietary restrictions: Enough vegetarian and pescetarian options to get dinner for the entire group.

Parking: There are very limited parking spots on the street, some people park in the smoothie king lot but it gets really congested with people who don't know how to park.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get inside, just an incline. There's a narrow hallway up to the counter.“

“In these changing times of empathy and awareness, I really thought the days of piling and squishing sentient beings into a tiny aquarium, so we can oooh and ahhh over their pending torturous death…was over! Do that many people rEaLLy order LoBsTer? I hate your lobby!“

“The service is most excellent for a mall food court especially. The servers are always glad to see you and they give you free samples gladly and generously. The food offerings are about as varied as you would expect in a mall, maybe a little more. The vegetables are properly cooked, very fresh, and the servings they give you are very generous. Highly recommend.“

“just ordered from them on Beyond Menu app. everything was hot a delish!“

“The food wasn’t bad at all—honestly a solid 8/10, especially for the price point and location. Everything was good, just could’ve used a touch more seasoning (a dash of salt on the fried items would go a long way). The lemongrass tofu was really good and stood out. Service was quick and friendly, making it a great spot for a quick lunch.“

“I don’t normally leave food reviews but I can’t believe this place isn’t busier than it is! I’ve been here several times and it’s consistently good. The food is solid and better than several other popular places I’ve tried. Definitely get the Cho Cho’s!!!! Give them a shot if you’re in the “

“Thanks China Wall! You hardly ever fail me! Again I wasnt in the mood for cooking so I called in an order. The gen tso combo was on time fresh and delicious. This location is mostly carry out so the dining area is basic and seem to be incomplete.“

“I will never understand the bad reviews of this place, but haters are gonna hate. I have had nothing but SUPERIOR SERVICE! The dude at the counter knows his regulars by name. They are always friendly and fast. This is the neighborhood Chinese place that you want to go to every time. Love y'all!“

“OUTSTANDING food and service. Every bite was the perfect bite. do your taste buds a favor and go to Hushun NOW!“

“Basic decor inside, but not bad at all. It was clean so wouldn't complain. The cashier who took my order wasn't very fluent in English, but did understand enough to know what I wanted and was nice. I got their lo mein and some kung po and honey chicken with chicken fried rice. It was pretty decent. Nothing special, but definately enjoyed it. Their sauces used on the fried chicken is very sweet, but not overwhelming - just right. The lo mein could use a little bit more seasoning, but I still liked it. Prices are pretty solid for the portion sizes. Would recommend.“

“the service is great the food is great“

“great food, great prices and great staff, definitely recommend it to others“

“It’s was fantastic best Buffett around town and great customer service. Le the manager was excellent and funny. The hot pot was very very good as well!!! 10/10 will be back again 🦍🔥“

“Best place ever, great food and made to order!! I have no idea what Garrett is on about, seems salty the new owners dont recognize him lol. The food is also still relatively cheap, and I dont blame them for having to rise prices due to inflation.. The portions are still HUGE so another false claim from Garrett, maybe hes just an eater. To note, I am an extremely picky eater so I assumed I would dislike the food here.. The sweet owners were able to accommodate me and I was able to get plain items I actually would enjoy eating. Also, their gyoza is amazing please try it. The atmosphere of the restaurant is kind of dingy, but please dont let that fool you! Food is still great, will be back for more gyoza!!!“

“Food was very good. Fried rice tasted great! Friendly staff.“

“I stopped there two days ago to get some boiled pig feet for my brother and i to eat. I was just passing through on a delivery to Orlando Florida. Well to make long story short i locked myself out of the truck with my phone inside also. The young lady behind the counter was nice enough to let me use her phone to call a locksmith and didnt leave the store until the locksmith arrived. Thst may not sound like much to most people but it meant a lot to me. The food there is very good. Its on Chef Hwy in New Orleans. My home town. I grew up in the Lower 9th Ward.“

“Wonderful service by friendly employees. Food was great and big portions too.“
