50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Bedford

“Absolutely delicious. I forgot what fresh Chinese food tasted like.“

“AMAZING FOOD & ATMOSPHERE!! The Mongolian Beef is incredible!!!!“

“Food is very good! good selection, ingredients are fresh, portion sizes are good. The menu doesn't have a lot of information on each dish, so you do have to ask for some of them, esp if you have a food allergy. There is a little language barrier as well. They presume you will use chop sticks, so you must ask for utensils which are plastic. the plates are paper plates, so it isn't fancy, but the food is good and service is relatively quick.
I had the vegetable Mala soup bowl. My wife had the wonton soup bowl. My mother had eggplant, and dunplings separate plates, with shared rice and scallion pancakes for the table. The Mala soup is quite spicey (Chili oil).
Parking is street parking in downtown area, so if you find the parking, pleasant downtown Brighton to walk through. Portion sizes were large and we took food home. I recommend for casual dining, not quite what I woild call fast food, but the layout and vibe feels that way.“

“Good eat with good price for today's Boston. The hand pulled noodle and the BiangBiang noodles are nicely prepared with enough chewyness. Broth and the stir fried toppings are well seasoned.
You order via scanning the QR code and waiter will bring the food to you table.“

“This is my happy place. I have never had a dish here that wasn’t delicious. It’s down to earth, good vibes & friendly staff. I hope they are there forever. If you want to feel like you are having authentic Chinese food at your auntie’s house, this is the place to go. 🤗🍜“

“10/10 on all parts! Service was amazing, food was amazing! I got the braised pork belly with noodles and it was so freaking delicious 😋 the brown sugar milk tea was made perfectly as well! The food was made quickly and tasted fresh. The woman at the register, who also made the drinks and food, was so kind and lovely. Five stars!!!“

“The dumplings were really yummy and fresh. Our noodle soups were okay, nothing impressive though. I liked the flavor of my sour and spicy broth. It was yummy to try hand pulled noodles though hated how much they stuck together. Crab rangoons and egg rolls were really average here.“

“Solid authentic Chinese spot with good texture on their hand pulled noodles and dumpling wrappers. Food is cooked fresh to order and delicious. I’d come back again, their menu has a lot of variety and has so many things I want to try. Definitely gets busy with take out orders and a good number of tables occupied on weekends.“

“always amazing! large portions of fresh delicious foods. service and drinks equally good. you won't be disappointed!“

“I ordered two times from their catering menu to feed a crew of about 12-18 people and they were perfect! They were eager to accommodate dietary restrictions, provide utensils, and work around our schedule. The food was great and fed all of us well with leftovers (about 3 trays easily feeds 15+ people with extra.) Everyone loved the food and their great prices helped me stay on budget!“

“First time ordering here . It was delicious.“

“Wok & talks food is so fresh and delicious! People there are nice and very helpful!“

“Best Chinese food around and the best customer service! Always so friendly and the foods always fresh! I highly recommend“

“There was a moment where I genuinely spaced out and thought I was just back in a small casual restaurant somewhere in China.
It makes me wonder whether places like this even expect to serve non Chinese speakers. The food is great, the price is reasonable, and more people really should try this type of service and cooking. At the same time, the whole space feels like it runs on its own reality and rhythm. In that sense, writing this entire review in English might not even make sense, because non Chinese speakers reading reviews like this might still choose not to come here. Anyway, this contradiction and the parallel pocket reality are part of the experience itself.“

“Went to an escape room nearby and a friend wanted Chinese near us and checked on the maps and this was close by and had good reviews.

Just like the reviews said there is as paid parking lot right next to it and you may find free street parking around.

Quiet with plenty of seating and very authentic Chinese food, not the Americanized Chinese food. They also served us water right away and kept coming around to make sure our glasses were always topped up.

The friend who wanted Chinese asked the waiter for a shrimp recommendation and talked with the waiter about what he would like and when the food came it was exactly what he wanted. Everyone lived their dishes and the prices were very reasonable.

We even agreed that next time we do the escape room in the area, we are going back to eat there again.“

“Very good food and service“

“My favorite place for Chinese food. So fresh and amazing. You have to try the chicken egg foo young with its special sauce. To die for!!!“

“I’ve been to Lu’s Kitchen a few times.
The food is consistently good and the portions are decent. The place is clean and service is efficient. It’s a reliable neighborhood Chinese restaurant with fair prices. I would come back again.“

“Very good food even listens to modifications, and always gets them right. This is the only place I go to for Chinese food now.“

“Excellent food, service and ambience, highly recommended!“

“Excellent food! Extremely friendly and helpful service, and the delivery driver was very nice and polite, they forgot my sauce for the egg foo young, I called and they had it delivered in about 5 minutes! Definitely my new go to place for Chinese in Arlington.“

“Tried it for the first time today. I really enjoyed the Hot Sour hand pulled noodle soup. I got extra noodles and medium spice. I will definitely be ordering again. The broth was packed with flavor, it all arrived hot and well packed. Give it a try.“

“It’s about half an hour west of Boston Metro area, could be traffic, and in the middle of nowhere. I’s inside a mall with plenty of parking. Most importantly, the Dim Sums is really good and service is pretty attentive. Though the place is big, it could still be a long wait at peak hours. But they provide a pager to buzz you when your table is ready. So you can do some shopping while waiting for a table.“

“The smell alone is worth 5 stars. The smell drew us in off the streets. The service here is amazing and patient. They went above and beyond to make sure we made it for our set at Obriens and we truly appreciate that. The food here 🙌🙌. Definitely will come back.“

“Mu Lan Taiwanese Restaurant is a Taiwanese restaurant in Waltham that focuses on traditional dishes, family-style portions, and bold flavors. The restaurant has a comfortable and casual atmosphere that works well for both smaller meals and larger group dinners. The menu has a wide range of options, including classic Taiwanese favorites and some dishes that are more familiar to people who enjoy Chinese cuisine, making it easy to order whether you are looking for something traditional or something more recognizable.

The food is the main reason to visit, especially the dishes that highlight Taiwanese flavors. The crispy chicken in chili sauce was one of the standout dishes because it had a good balance of texture and seasoning. The outside had a nice crispness while the sauce added a stronger flavor without overwhelming the dish. The salt and pepper pork chops were another highlight, with a satisfying crunch and the kind of savory flavor that makes it easy to keep reaching for another piece.

The duck dishes are also worth trying, especially if you are looking for something that feels more unique compared to standard Chinese takeout options. The scallion pancakes and dumplings are good choices for sharing, and the menu has plenty of dishes that work well for ordering family style. I liked that the portions were generous, which makes it easier to try multiple dishes with a group instead of everyone ordering separately.

The service was generally friendly and the food came out at a good pace during my visit. The restaurant can get busy, especially during peak dinner hours, but that also adds to the lively atmosphere. For larger groups, making a reservation is helpful because the space fills up quickly.

Overall, Mu Lan is a solid choice for Taiwanese food in the area. The combination of authentic flavors, large portions, and a wide menu makes it a place I would return to. I would focus on the traditional dishes rather than the more Americanized options because that is where the restaurant stands out the most.“

“Food is great when received fresh, they’re done quickly so better to just pick it up in my opinion.
I love the crab rangoons, the general tsao’s chicken, the veggie lo mein.
The establishment itself is outdated but it adds charm to the place, I love it.
Boneless spareribs are great, 😊 highly recommend this place for Chinese“

“As someone who has had the privilege of dining at some extraordinary Chinese and Japanese restaurants around the world, from Hong Kong to Tokyo to Manhattan, I can say without hesitation that this is the finest Chinese and Japanese food in all of Massachusetts. The ingredients are exceptional, the preparation is thoughtful, and the consistency is remarkable. Restaurants like this are rare.

We even brought our chef Tracy here one evening. She’s worked in several Michelin-starred kitchens and spent years cooking in private estates and luxury hotels. And she was completely blown away. She kept commenting on the quality of the fish and the balance of the dishes, which says a lot coming from someone who cooks professionally at that level.“

“This place is amazing- We came to visit for our Boston trip for the weekend and we decided to eat at this place. Not only the prices are cheap, but the food quality and portions make it AMAZING. I would 💯 recommend to eat at this place anytime. You will not regret it.“

“Great food!!! Worth the trip to get the take out.“

“Really good service came in to order some take out for the family was a busy day so I had a bit of a wait so I left and came back and had a different cashier who regardlessly knew who I was and what I ordered and immediately grabbed it for me. Food was great“

“I truly loved this place, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, helpful with suggestions on making food choices, all food was prepared and served with the freshest ingredients, hot, large portions, spicy pickled radish, pork fried rice and Happy family, strongly suggested, drinks were made with fresh juice, not syrupy, a big plus, you gotta try this place, I will definitely be back with more friends, ♥️♥️“

“Authentic spicy 🌶 great tasting. I believe best in metro west.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere! Very traditional food. I'm a regular for life💕“

“Good cocktails and food“

“We went the other night for the first time. They were so kind and professional about my egg allergy and prepared my lobster and steak hibachi in the kitchen. We will be back regularly!“

“This place was great but the atmosphere was a little messing the food was sorta slow but the wait was worth it they do delivery and pickup I ordered fried rice and some kind of chicken it was so good I couldn’t stop until my belly was too full to eat 😃😃😃😃😃😃it was awesome“

“Good food. Good atmosphere. Good people“

“Thanks to everyone at the Beijing restaurant in Lexington, Ma. I met my wife here, and have fond memories of our first meeting. Good food and great atmosphere! There is also a nice outside patio deck. Highly recommended. Thank you,
Mike & Qin“

“Classic Polynesian food restaurant“

“My go-to for local Chinese food. They are lightning quick and always friendly. Keeping it real: this is not the place for a romantic anniversary dinner. However, if what you want is a hot, delicious, filling meal (especially to-go) this is a sure bet.“

“Best Dumplings and Boba in the whole world“

“I would give infinity stars if I could because they certainly make magic happen here! My pizza was delicious and the service was stellar. They even took the time to add a little tape to properly close the old hot/cold grocery tote I brought with me to keep my pizza hot on the way home.“

“I got take out at the Golden Ginger for the first time in years, the service was great and the food was all delicious and freshly made to order. I had stopped going there when I had started eating gluten free food, however, I just realized that they now have great gluten free options including my favorite, General Gau's chicken! Family members who don't eat gluten free loved the hot & sour soup, the spring rolls, the boneless honey ribs, and the beef and broccoli. I am definitely going to be going back to eat there as well as for take out. I highly recommend them!“

“Friendship BBQ is a Chinese skewer restaurant located right outside of Packard's Corner.

Staff are friendly and explain the process well. They're very knowledgeable on recommendations and can help whenever needed.

The food is good. We got a wide variety of skewers, as well as a few appetizers. The skewers were flavorful, not too gamey but of a good and consistent quality. The price is a bit high for the portions they give, but not too outrageous.“

“Fresh food with good portions. Enjoyed a quiet lunch.“

“Hands down the best Chinese food in Waltham! Delivery is fast and food arrives hot and well packaged. Crab rangoons, chicken fingers, egg rolls, boneless spare ribs, wonton soup, fried rice, lo mein, peking ravioli, general gau's chicken, and beef/chicken teriyaki skewers are among our routine orders. They are all soooo good. Have never eaten at the restaurant, always done delivery.“

“Excellent fresh food and great employees“

“Who is actually very surprising good considering the location. They have these combos you can pick up for about $16 with a ton of food. Very authentic tasty food for relatively cheap prices. Almost comparable to something you would get in New York. Plus it's got a full bar in the back“

“Great food, great cocktails, friendly service. All the beef dishes are very tender. Avocado shrimp with macadamia nuts is a must try. I’ve never been disappointed by anything I ordered. Best hot and sour soup around, I have it every time I come here.“
