29 Best Chinese Restaurants in New Orleans

“One of the best dining experiences my wife and I ever had. It is a true culinary delight that awakens your taste buds. Braiden was an excellent server who takes pride in his work and it shows! Thank you for a wonderful evening.“

“My meal, yesterday, was excellent; it was something I'd never had, before, so an adventure. I chose the Tonkotsu Black Ramen ('cause I love me some pork). I'd never had pork bellies, before, either, and the two in this ramen were so tender and so well seasoned. The crispy pork gyoza are, in fact, crispy fried dumplings; they were seasoned very nicely. And the broth was incredible; dense, and richly seasoned.

Although I'd been disappointed, somewhat, with their Chinese food, on my two previous visits (having been a 30 year regular at Chinese Tea Garden), as they're in the neighborhood, I decided to give them a try with something other than; I'm glad I did...

They, really, need to redecorate, as the, short-lived, Baby Cajun Saint decor ain't workin'. I'd love to see some of those classic Chinese Tea Garden paintings and calligraphy on the walls.“

“I always go to Manchu because the chicken is always hot, fresh, and delicious. You get a lot of food for a great price, and they’re super fast! The portions are huge, and the staff is always friendly. Definitely my go-to spot for tasty, affordable chicken.“

“Absolutely, I recommend Ming's! Just ate lunch there and it was excellent!!! Service was Grrrrrreat too!“

“THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IVE EVER HAD !!! I had shrimp lo mein , crab Rangoons and a shrimp egg roll // great portions // the Rangoons were HUGE and there were 8 of them !!! For 6.95! Perfectly crispy ! This is the only Chinese place I will go to from now on ?“

“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!“

“The food is always amazing and the service is even the better the servers are super sweet and make it such a welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend eating here.“

“The best I’ve had so far, definitely recommend“

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

“Clean. Friendly.
Loved all the plants in the restaurant.
The egg rolls were great & not too greasy.
Pork lo main was good. I’d get it again.
Fried rice was rlly good with whole shrimpies.
Jalapeño chicken I’ve never ordered anywhere before but it wasn’t too spicy at all… not gonna order again probably“

“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!!“

“We stopped in 2 years ago with 3 teenage girls, 2 of whom are extremely picky. They still talk about how good the was here, and ask when we are going back to New Orleans so they can get more. It was delicious.“

“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.“

“This family owned restaurant just reopened their inside dining (summer 2024) after being take out/catering only for several years. We have been regulars since we moved here 3 years ago. The pho is our favorite- so flavorful! I also love the vermicelli noodle bowls and the hubs likes the orange chicken and general tso. This is our GO TO for tasty, affordable Asian food! And the portions are HUGE! I’ll try to add pics on a future visit, usually too hungry to remember!

Parking: This is a historic building in the French Quarter. It is typically difficult to find parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: This is a historic building in the French Quarter. Not wheel chair friendly unfortunately.“

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

“Went on a Friday night (8-30-24) 6pm. Lots of choices and my wife loved the boiled crabs. I really liked the fried whole shrimp and they were big.
They were constantly replenishing the options with freshly cooked food. The staff were nice. The place was clean as were the restrooms. $40 for two adults I feel was a great value. I liked the sushi too.“

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

“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. 🔥🔥“

“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.“

“I give this place five stars across the board the food is always good is always clean and the staff is always friendly it doesn't get any better than this and this is one of the best places to get authentic Chinese food me being and going overseas to China quite a few times this is one of the best places that I've been to in the United States that has authentic Chinese food“

“love this place. I had the sizzling steak and the combo fried rice. cant wait to eat here again. the staff were really polite too.“

“**Excellent Takeout!**

I recently ordered from Dragon King and was thoroughly impressed. The online ordering was easy, and my food arrived quickly and hot. The General Tso's Chicken was perfectly crispy with a great balance of sweet and spicy, and the Kung Pao Shrimp was fresh and flavorful. The fried rice was fluffy, and the vegetable spring rolls were crispy and tasty.

The high-quality ingredients and attention to detail were evident in every bite. The complimentary fortune cookies and the friendly note added a nice personal touch. Overall, Dragon King provided an outstanding takeout experience. Highly recommend!“

“This spot is an absolute gem for lunch! The restaurant impresses with its impeccable cleanliness, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. What truly elevates the experience is the exceptionally friendly staff. They go above and beyond to make you feel right at home, ensuring that your meal is not only delicious but also a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend this place for a delightful lunch outing.“

“This place is nestled in the heart of the black community. They are the only place opened late in the area. The service was very rude, the menu items that they offer are not actuallY reflected on the menu. There are no prices on the menu. The place smelled like roach spray. However, I went back to this restaurant with a friend about a month ago and things were much better. The food is good there and the service was much friendlier now. In my view, they have upped their game overall. I have changed my mind about this restaurant.“

“Food is always hot and fresh. The portion sizes are good. My only complaints are the egg rolls need some more meat in them, and they can be mire patient when taking phone orders.

Parking: Parking available in front, side and rear of property“

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

“I definitely enjoy coming here simply because it’s one of the better Chinese restaurants here in the city. However the customer service could be a bit more patient when customers have or ask questions about certain ingredients in their entrees…. If you don’t ask then how will one ever know???“

“While waiting for my food, someone (a local I assume) walked in and said "Hey Mama" to the owner – that's when I knew I was in good hands. Had the gumbo, it was delicious, and a generous portion size. Everything else looked incredible too. Absolutely recommend this one if you're in the neighbourhood.“

“I ordered through Uber eats the order was correct, but the fried rice was so hot spicy wise we could not eat it. I’ve never experienced fried rice like this again would not order it again on the other hand the barbecued shrimp and the wontons were excellent. Yes, I will use them again, but I won’t order the rice“
