36 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.“

“Everything is made from scratch. This is the place to which all other bao compare, and lose. Get the vegan bao and the season veg, money, every time. 🙏❤️“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Our go to staple for Chinese food in the area. The space is small so we have never sat there and eaten but whether my husband or I go by for pickup or to place an order, it’s all done fast and we never have to wait long. They even do big orders. I had my family in town for a reunion and they were able to help us for our annual picnic a couple months ago.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“theres a sweet lady who looooves labubus & will talk your ear off about them & she's my faborite ! the food is great, the service is amazing, it's super clean & always ready to give refills before your cup is even half full & the price is perfect 💗“

“We ordered online and our order was over 43.00. According to the website when you have an order for over 35.00 you get free fried dumplings. We picked up our order gave them a 50 dollar bill to include a tip and we did not receive the fried dumplings. The rest of the food was good and made to order, but don’t say you’re going to get an order of fried dumplings for free with orders of 35.00 or more if they aren’t going to honor that. When I called to mention this the person I spoke to was a little combative about it saying if it’s not on the ticket they won’t make it. Then you need to fix the problem bruh.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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. 🔥🔥“

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

“**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!“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“A Hidden Gem in New Orleans East – Saint Manchus!

Steven customer service is top-tier! From the moment we walked into Saint Manchu the vibe was welcoming and full of good energy. I’ve never seen an owner do it all—Steven was running the register, cooking the food, and still taking time to greet and engage with every customer. That kind of dedication is rare.

And let’s talk about the food—the gumbo was a 10 out of 10! Rich, flavorful, and made with love. You can taste the soul in every bite. If you’re anywhere near New Orleans East, do yourself a favor and stop by Saint Manchus. Highly recommended!“

“We were staying across the street at the Holiday Inn and needed some food after the long drive. China House hot the spot! We ordered three items and all were fresh and delicious. I specifically had the shrimp and veggies with shrimp fried rice. It was SO GOOD. I'm already thinking of trying something else from here tonight, lol!“
