33 Best Chinese Restaurants near Ludlow

“The food is as good or better than it was. It is objectively the best Chinese food in town. Order took a long time? There's a reason: everyone within reasonable driving distance is ordering there!“

“We were staying at the hotel next door and ordered take out. Person was friendly, and food was ready when I got there. It was nice and hot. I tried crab rangoon, veggie dumplings, and veggie pad thai, all of them were good, the pad thai was the best. Prices were quite reasonable. During this time it seems to be takeout only.“

“Great place to eat. Must go“

“Amazing food even when they just open back up for busniess. Food was still hot and fresh even being as busy as they were“

“Week to week this is a lovely Chinese restaurant to order a number of appetizer favorites and house special meals. They’re ALWAYS busy but manage to prepare your order in a timely manner.Personal favorite is letter M with a substitution of beef lo mein instead of vegetables. They’re always accommodating and do not give you an attitude when you ask for a substitute. I rather take a 20 minute drive to this Chinese restaurant than a few of the local establishments.Despite the airy clear film divider, the area where they prep our food appears to be quite clean and not cluttered. Give them a try. Despite the older negative reviews, every business deserves a chance to improve. Give Fortune Cookie a try!Pros: fresh food, flavor is never lacking (not salty), clean working area, professional, on time and consistentCons: they’re closed on Tuesdays“

“It is a place that I have visited for more than 20 years. They cook delicious.Good portion.It is a place that they visit a lot.But it is not a place to eat, there is on the table, it is more to take the food home. Its Owners are Chinese, very feisty and hard-working people. Its owners are a couple.and they are the the only ones that run this restaurant.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has its ramp for the wheelchair. A bit of a problem is holding the door.“

“Went with my daughter and we got to plates and two sodas. Paid over $50 for food that was ok but not great. The service was fast but its really more of a take out place. We dined in and it felt like we were eating in their back pantry. The table was so wobbly we decided to make a game of it to see who could eat without spilling. Would not go back again.“

“REFUSED MY REFUND FOR FOOD POISONING Order food with a friend on Doordash from this restaurant and everything he had was fine, my hibachi teriyaki chicken I ate made me violently sick to my stomach and I’ve been throwing up at work, and I still feel very unwell. I was perfectly fine all day, this was the first thing I even ate today as well. I became unwell half an hour after eating the chicken. Called the restaurant asking nicely if I could get a refund for the one item that was mine and I was told “this chicken hasn’t made anyone else sick all day so maybe you’re having an off day” and “our hands are tied” and they refused to give me a refund for food I can’t even finish the leftovers of. It shouldn’t matter if everyone else ate it and was fine all day, if a customer gets sick from food from your establishment it’s common decency to give them a refund for their unpleasant experience and troubles. I shouldn’t have to come here and write a bad review because of how upset I am or take it a step further and be a jerk to them on the phone or in person to get my money back, I’m not that kind of person.. but I came here to express what I had to deal because I’m very upset I spent money on something that made me unwell and I can’t even finish... 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄“

“After being disappointed by my usual Chinese food spot, I thought I give Lucky a shot. I tried them a few years back and didn't have the best experience. This time was different. The food was fresh and very delicious. Definitely will order from them again.“

“I have been eating at and ordering from Mandarin Wilbraham for 8 years. Every time, inside or at home, the food is fresh, hot and delicious! The staff is friendly and double checks for order correctness and specifics. When I call for take out they ask me if I would like my usual hot sauce. (Who would know that?) My order this evening was delivered and was not my order. They called me immediately and were back at my home in less than 10 minutes, all apologies. When my correct order came, again, piping hot, fresh and delish!! And with a smile. Accolades to your attention, excellent food and true dynamic of serving wonderful food to your neighbors! Thank you.“

““Home Is Springfield.” That is the restaurant’s website name — homeispringfield.com — but also what it calls to me. I came across Ho Mei during my first week in Springfield, wandering the city with no real direction, just hoping to find some place that felt safe. I didn't expect to find home.

What first caught my eye was a Shen Yun poster in the window — a sign of cultural pride that immediately stopped me in my tracks. As someone who’s quietly in awe of the strength, grace, and deep soul of Chinese culture, seeing that felt like a spiritual invitation. I’ve seen Shen Yun before and highly recommend it to anyone who still believes in beauty as a form of survival. That poster told me this place wasn’t just a business — it was a place of memory, culture, and quiet care.

From the outside, Ho Mei looks unassuming. No frills. Just a clean menu in the window and that single, stirring sticker tucked under it. But once I stepped inside, I felt something shift. The space is small but open and bright. It’s not trying to impress — it’s simply, beautifully present. It reminded me of good feng shui (though I admit I don’t know much about it), and the feeling was clear: this is a place where things are in order, where care lives quietly.

I was greeted by a young man behind the counter — gentle, professional, and kind. His voice had the softness of someone who speaks English with reverence, each word carefully chosen, as is the way across so many Chinese dialects. It reminded me that language, like food, is art too.

I asked for sweet and sour chicken (I’m sorry, Auntie — I know that’s embarrassing), but was gently introduced to more traditional options. I chose orange chicken in the end, and my lack of cultural depth was met not with judgment, but comfort. I told him I’d come in because of the Shen Yun sign, and as I stumbled to express my admiration for Chinese culture, I started crying — overwhelmed by feeling, and maybe by shame. He smiled — not in pity, but in understanding. I excused myself to the bathroom, but I felt safe. That is cultural hospitality — not loud, not performative. Just real.

There were only two tables inside, at least when I visited. I chose one and sat down, intending to wait for my takeout. But everything changed with the first bite. The appetizer was so good I couldn’t stop. Then came the wonton soup — perfectly hot, like the medicine I didn’t realize I needed. And then the orange chicken... I meant to take it home, but I finished it right there.

This is food made with devotion. Food that’s not just delicious — ho mei means “good taste” in Cantonese — but healing. Comforting. Like it had been made for someone who’s wandered for a long time. Like me.

The prices were so low I almost didn’t believe them. Coming from Boston, Cambridge, and Worcester, it felt like a miracle. I left a large tip out of gratitude, only to find the next day it hadn’t been accepted. I guess I’ll have to return with a red envelope — to thank this homie, I mean Ho Mei, for their kindness, their welcome, and the unspoken grace of this little restaurant.

TLDR: Ho Mei isn’t flashy. It doesn’t put on false pretenses. It is just true and good. A quiet corner of Springfield where food is made with honor and served with something I haven’t found in a long time — but that I’ve been finding, over and over again, here in Springfield: heart.

For anyone who’s felt a little lost — culturally, emotionally, spiritually — this might be the place that grounds and nourishes you again. Ho Mei makes me feel like home is Springfield, even when home is far.“

“This is my #2 Chinese restaurant. I love their fried chicken wings. Also the rice is not yellow it's more brown, it could be more brown but at least it's not yellow. I wish they made homemade duck sauce. Overall it's the best in this area.“

“This place is pretty cozy with a ton of offerings.. chicken is typical Chinese food chicken, General Tso sauce was ok I feel it could use a work up tho.. The fried Rice was amazing, super tasty and flavorful.. the only one issue was the egg roll seemed a tad bit off, I was was a couple people and we all agreed on that.“

“MinFen Kitchen is the best “authentic” Asian food around. Wong Garden (now closed) could not compare. I have tried 6 different Asian food places nearby and nothing is as good as this place. My fiancée and I order at least once a week. I would die for their house lo-mein. This small business delivers crazy happiness - portions are large, food is phenomenal, and it’s a local family business, how could you say no? Don’t count them out. Was and will always be my favorite takeout place. Plan to have my own wedding catered by them.“

“My wife and I were in the area and wanted to try a different place for takeout and Jack Chen II was on our way home. The food was very good and fresh, and our order was ready right on time. We got a pu pu platter for 2 with house fried rice, and a small order of chicken teriyaki. We would order from here again.“

“Good places. Good food. No delivery. Prices are good. Decent white rice. Dumplings and sauce are great but the sauce container is laughably small. They could triple the size and it would just be enough. Decent general tsos, light not heavy so if you want some thick sauce this is not it. Beef teriyaki was lackluster.“

“Their food is delicious and their prices are reasonable. Every time I order for my family and I I’m very pleased with the portions and the free 2 L is always a great bonus. I order from them at least once a month If not more. Best fried crab ragoons around!“

“I really don’t consider it a sit down place, I could see it if it were closer to a work area that it would be a good lunch spot. We used to live very close to the restaurant now we live all the way in South Hadley and I will travel there to get the best Chinese food in Springfield“

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Yes this place will eventually finish their renovations but it has a charm to me like the Chinese restaurants I went to as a child.

It’s like the underdog in a boxing match.

The food was sooo sooo delicious and great quality and quantity and very affordable.

The owner is very kind and attentive to your order.

Thank you again!

Cash Only!“

“I'm not big on trying different food I get beef fried rice chicken and broccoli extra chicken and they put a nice size amount a lot ? price for the amount you get us great to me never had a issue with them I rather go here then alot of other places“

“I've been looking for a good Chinese place nearby and I've tried several. None have been as good or consistent as this. The food here is ACTUALLY good - the portions are very good, and the prices are extremely attractive. Keep doing what you guys are doing - you've got it right!“

“Amazing sushi and the staff was very attentive. Highly recommend going here!“

“The general Tsos and tempura are our favorites from here! You can get pork fried rice instead of white rice if you call to order, and as of late May 2025 they aren't using door dash anymore. You can call in to order, or order through their website.“

“general tsaos is amazing! they make food quickly and always flavorful“

“Exceptional food taste and quality! The service also exceeded expectations. 100% recommend this restaurant.“

“We started off with an appetizer of crab Rangoon, which were delicious. We also had a large order of teriyaki beef. We then had for our main course in order of general tsaos chicken with broccoli an order of vegetable lo mein large and an order of beef with no peapods. Everything was exceptional and our waitress. Ming was very attentive to us. Definitely will be back again.“

“Ate at China House last night. Had steamed dumplings, General Tso ckn, & garlic chicken. Dumplings were a touch bland but the dipping sauce off set that. Tso’s flavor was in point, just wished had a bit of a better crunch. The garlic sauce was very good but the large mini corn cobs tasted bitter and like they’ve been soaking in water solution too long. I would definitely return and try other favorites like Rangoon, beef broccoli, and sweet sour.

The restaurant can’t do too much about the homeless ppl and stuff dealer across the street. Best to order ahead and quickly pick up and go.“

“An affordable family-run take out Chinese food.
I stopped by to pickup some Chinese food. Beef noodle for my kids and general Tsao’s combo for me.
Everything came out hot. The egg rolls took the longest. It was crunchy and I could tell it was home made.
The noodles was OK. It was a bit light on ingredients but at this price point, that’s fine.
General Tsao was interesting. Small pieces of chicken, individually thickly coated, and sauces generously. No broccoli but at this price, can’t ask for it. It had a nice crunch and flavor was good. It came in a smallish container but it was packed full of food.
They put in utensils I asked for along with sauces.
When I was there, bunch of kids were there and they were helping out. It’s nice to see family run shops. The woman taking order was super friendly and asked about my kids.
If you want an affordable and generously portioned meal, these guys are great.“

“Entrance way is pretty dirty,...someone needs to clean it & all glass doors(....hand smudges & dried on soapy rinse water...) This almost made me not go in.

Was hot & comes with a good variety...Fried rice,Pork Strips,Fried Chicken(...not greasy...), Chicken Fingers, Crab Rangoon,Terriaki Steak(...Very good) Good Food, OK Customer Service,....only Bad Side is Front Entrance Needs a Cleaning....I'm sure some customers have not come with Entrance So Unclean.“
