21 Best Chinese Restaurants near Maynard

“Every dish we've ordered has been delicious, and we're working our way through the menu! Some favorites have been Magnolia wings with a sweet spicy sauce, crab rangoons, house beef roll (which is tender beef wrapped in a scallion pancake -- a must try!) and steamed spicy wontons in peanut sauce. It's a family-run restaurant, and the staff is giving it 110% every day.“

“Westbound, hungry, and driving through an unusually slow traffic, it was only a matter of time before my itching fingers and fiendishly famished stomach determined the next course of action. Swerved off the next exit, pulled up a list of nearby restaurants, rerouted, and floored it. Fudge it. Hungry. Don’t care. Hungry. Just drive like another M@$$hole and get this nonsense over with.

U Dumpling House had immediately caught my attention. I couldn’t recall where I had read about it but it was positive. Now that it’s just a few minutes away from where I was, why the heck not? Dimsum and soup dumplings? Can’t go wrong right? Then again, I don’t ever remember anyone this hungry complain about anything in the moment until *way* after the meal…

So I rapidly ordered away like it was my last meal before I met my maker. Stuck to the usual choices to see their take on classic dim sum dishes. Best part? Food didn’t take long at all to trickle in straight from the kitchen (no dim sum cart here, as expected).

While the preparation was slightly different from what I’ve been accustomed to for the last few decades, I found their style both pleasant and tasty. At least, most of it was…and I would have given them 5 stars easily if it wasn’t for a few missteps that I can’t let slide.

Dry Sautéed String Beans. As good as your version is…the word “dry” means a particular technique that does not involve blanching the beans. I expected something but received something else. That one step has a different texture and matters to those who know this dish well. Moreover, I expected the soup dumplings, which you are famous for, to stand out. I can’t say it did and that’s me being nice.

Anyways, I definitely recommend anyone in the immediate area craving Chinese food or dim sum to at least try them out once. You may end up being one of those several regulars there that day that obviously frequent this place.“

“When we checked in at the hostess table we were told that they were no longer able to accept the Open Table reservation in their system. We were surprised and disappointed. We had requested a table by the window and were seated at a table with a blocked view. We asked for the window table and waited briefly for one which was empty. We started with a new mai tai which had several spices in it, not your typical mai tai. The server gave us a great service. Pork dumpling were very good with a mild sauce. Entrees Mongolian beef and spicy chicken with a side of chicken and beef fried rice were very good. Not sure if we'll return if they no longer accept Open Table.“

“Best Chinese food in Hudson. Their won ton soup is delicious. Everything we ordered was good. We ordered food for 10 people and it was ready promptly, service was great and everyone was very happy with their food. Not one thing disappointed.“

“I saved this restaurant back in 2019 when I first passed by. This week, I walked by again—after six years and a whole pandemic. It felt surreal, like stepping into another time. The food is still as authentic and delicious as I remembered. Truly worth the bookmark!“

“This has been my go-to Chinese restaurant since childhood, and it never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious with rich, authentic flavors. The portions are great, and the service is always warm and friendly. It’s a true neighborhood gem—I highly recommend it if you’re in the area!“

“We have been eating here for Years. The food is consistent. The owners and cooks are the same.

Mandarin Cafe is a hidden gem of a restaurant. The quality of food is great and the portion sizes are generous and the ingredients are top-notch.

Lately we have been ordering the Veggie Dumplings and the Kung Pao Tofu. The dishes are an absolute treat.

The restaurant itself is just a small kitchen with a few tables and chairs - you do get to see the chefs hard at work behind the counter.

Conveniently located in a strip mall on route 9 in Natick, Mandarin Cafe accepts online ordering with a very comprehensive menu. This is my new favorite fast food, Sunday order in, comfort Chinese food restaurant.“

Absolutely the best boneless spareribs I have ever eaten. Terrific pork fried rice that had many added ingredients similar to house special fried rice.“
