47 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“

“aw wow! very sweet customer service (the lady who took our to go order was so sweet!) the food was amazing! got the mango chicken and the spring rolls and they were so perfect! usually i feel groggy after eating food like this, but i was energized!!!! very clean environment, good prices, nice people, and ready very quickly! we will be returning! 🩷“

“Not to give away any secrets, but this has to be the best Chinese place in the city for take out. Big portions. Real sauces, not just variations of the sweet red sauce (they have that too). I ordered a snack from here many years ago and was so shocked at the amount of meat in my fried wontons and the quality of the portions...I thought it was a fluke. Nope. I just got food from here last week and it was exactly the same! I've only had this quality one other time in my life from a Chinese place, and it was a sit down/dine in restaurant.
This place is super tiny, but the lady at the counter is on top of things and very nice. You will be just as shocked as I was that such good food came out of this tiny spot in a sketchy area.
EAT HERE!“

“Ordered takeout for Thanksgiving since we were feeling a little burnt out for cooking this year and Hong Minh did an amazing job! The roast duck was wonderful, the Singapore mei fun was perfect, the Mongolian beef was delicious and spicy, and the fried chicken was so crispy and flavorful. We really enjoyed our delicious meal!“

“The food is consistently good. You get a very generous portion. Food is always hot and fresh. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I have tried nearly half the menu over the years with no disappointments. I have had delivery as well as pickup with no complaints or differences in product.“

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

“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!!“

“Atmosphere doesn’t matter. I’ve been in New Orleans for 4 months and this is only the 2nd satisfying order of fried chicken I’ve had. I ordered the 10 piece with rice. The wings were perfectly crispy and crunchy and seasoned all the way through. The rice was rich and fluffy. I payed under $10 for my meal, and couldn’t eat the whole thing in one sitting. Good stuff y’all!“

“was good!! I'm coming back!!“

“I would normally give this place a 5 but it's obvious that the owners are different, the food taste different and the amount of shrimp and meat are very small compared to the previous owners and what I'm accustomed to. I've been going here for decades but I think I'll change to empress of china. Hope they haven't changed ownership“

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

“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.“

“Food - Amazing!!! Easily the best General Tso chicken I've had. Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked and tasted great. Amosphere and ambiace - not good at all! They can do simple touches and changes to make it more inviting and it needs a thorough clean.

Super friendly and accommodating staff. Will be back for take out regularly.“

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

“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.“

“One of my favorite Chinese joints“

“The food is so good!!!!!!“

“Order here before anywhere else on the West Bank. We ordered pickup and everything we tried was amazing. We got the general tso, which was perfectly spiced and tasty. Fried rice was good. Orange chicken w/veggies was great. Not super crispy as it came in Styrofoam, but still excellent tasting and breading stayed on the chicken. It also came with an eggroll thay was very tasty/crispy. Crab Rangoons were perfect. On a whim we also got bbq chicken wings and fries. The fries were a little soggy bc of the styrofoam packaging but that was to be expected. The wings however... omg so good! Still crispy and flavor was on point. Great bbq sauce, nothing like your standard store bought flavor. Good prices, HUGE portions.

It's not really a dine-in place, there was maybe one table. But aside from that, this will be our new go-to for Chinese food!“

“The sesame chicken, spring rolls, fried rice, and egg drop soup were all wonderful. Service was fast, easy online ordering, and order accurate. It’s a very standard American-Chinese take away restaurant. Which is sometimes exactly what you want.“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 !“

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

“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.“

“I ordered the General Tao plate and was fully satisfied with it. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavor was indescribably Delicious!
The steamed broccoli was prepared perfectly, and the chicken with the sauce was crispy and delicious!
Service was excellent!“

“Idk what anyone else is talking about but the food i had was great and the waitress was good. I had the combination rice and combination lo mein. Very fresh, too hot to eat I needed to let it cool down. Very good food, the BBQ pork slices appetizer was great too.“

“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 “

“I never had an issue here with the service or the food. Once in a while I’ll get Chinese fry rice over and I’d choose here. I love that the rice is not greasy. It doesn’t give me stomach or chest burn. Taste just right not salty.
The things I see people complaining about is crazy. This is a small business. A fast Chinese food business. Please don’t go expecting fine dining quality. I saw one comment about chicken fry rice not having peas and carrots lol. Chinese fry rice does not normally comes with peas nor carrots. Panda Express has rice wiith peas which is a vegetable fry rice.“

“I really love this place. I eat here Every time I fly down from New York City. I am a close friend with the owner. I like the passion and love they put into this small restaurant. 🔥🔥“

“Alright Hina Hut!! We ordered sweet and sour chicken and sesame chicken. The sweet and sour sauce is awesome! There have been some positive changes since we last ordered from Hina Hut! Chicken was great! They are boiling seafood now. Crawfish, sausage and corn were seasoned well! We had a pick up order and then bought some of the boiled stuff too!“

“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 🦍🔥“

“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!“

“the service is great the food is great“

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

“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.“

“If you’re looking for a good place to eat during this awful heat outside, GO HERE. This place was amazing. It had amazing air conditioning inside, enough seats for every person that came in to eat, and the food was amazing. The lady was very kind and the food price was amazing for how good the food is. I got the sweet and sour chicken, egg roll, and noodles and they were DELICIOUS. That whole meal, including a drink, was $11. That’s an amazing price considering now a days most good restaurants charge $20-$30 a person.They had many other menu options as well. The ones I saw were spicy chicken, honey chicken, sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour shrimp, rice, and a lot more.I’m definitely glad I picked this place for dinner and I hope whenever I travel to New Orleans again in the future that I get to go here again.“

“This is the best pho in louisiana. Broth is perfect flavor, look at that color! They also give a lot of meat. Rice dishes are also good, I like the porkchop. Also the hidden gems are the salt and pepper calamari, salt and pepper chicken wings, and salt and pepper shrimp. The flavor for these dishes are called rang muoi in vietnamese. Service is nice and straight to the point, that’s how you know the food is good“
