23 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.“

“Once we were served our food, our waiter disappeared. He never checked in on us, which was a problem because I wanted to order another drink. Nobody came by when it was clear we were done eating and had been sitting with empty serving plates for fifteen minutes. We had to ask another staff member to find our waiter to get our check. The food and setting were great, but that waiter had a bad night.“

“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 was not impressed. Boneless spareribs were way too sticky and some were burnt. Like other restaurants now there prices have gone up a bit much. Also they are bit off Rte 9 and I think there are other places that are of better quality. I would only give this 3 stars.“

“Shaanxi Gourmet has delicious authentic Chinese food without having to drive into the city. The restaurant itself is very clean and casual and the staff are very friendly. They make everything in-house. I started with a lychee iced tea, delicious! My first plate was soybean paste homemade noodles. This was this noodles in a mouthwatering soybean meat sauce. The flavors were amazing! This dish also had fresh sliced cucumbers that tasted really good mixed into the dish. My next dish was pork intestine in a brown sauce. Pork Intestine, in general, is like eating extremely tender pork. It is delicious! This also had my favorite wood ear mushrooms, fermented black beans. This dish was a showstopper! I also tried their crispy orange sesame chicken. This was crispy, with nice flavoring without a heavy sauce. Definitely recommend! The egg rolls were a mix of cabbage, celery, and meat. They had a nice flavor. The duck sauce was traditional with a little spice added, possibly cinnamon. For dessert I had warm tapioca. It was also delicious!The restaurant quickly filled up. It seemed the majority of the guests were speaking Chinese! I take that as a good sign. Shanxi is part of Northern China. I think they do an amazing job honoring their food. This is a must try!“

“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!“

“Great little takeout place! Food is delicious and the owners are so kind and caring. You can see when people care about their product. We got orange chicken and chicken noodle soup and everything was very fresh, meaty and delicious. Crab Rangoon were crispy but not overfried, just perfect. Highly recommended!“

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

“The food is Excellent But Ordering Delivery is a Painful Process. The Woman Does Not Know What She IS DOING. Called me BACK and read Off a totally different order than what I placed. Get someone who knows the menu and understands English to do the “

“Very good food. Hot and delicous“

“Ordered the crab rangoons, Thai basil chicken fried rice, honey chicken, and drunken noodles. Sooooo good, best crab rangoons I’ve had anywhere, and the Thai basil fried rice was perfect. Our new favorite takeout place!“

“I highly recommend this takeout restaurant. I’ve driven past it a thousand times but I stopped by on a whim last Saturday at 9pm. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Absolutely the best boneless spareribs I have ever eaten. Terrific pork fried rice that had many added ingredients similar to house special fried rice.“

“We love going in to visit with , Ming , the bartender on Tuesday nights . Because of his exceptional service we have gone a few other nights . All the bartenders are super friendly and fun ! Our favorite dishes , thus far , have been the Singapore rice noodles and the garlic veggie dish . We heard the house rice is great . The bar is full of friendly locals looking to talk and have a good time . We can’t say enough about this place .“

“We typically go elsewhere, but Christmas Eve our usual spot was closed and Joy Luck came through for us! We loved it and it’s become our new favorite. Veggie lo mein was amazing and my husband is obsessed with their hot and sour soup. Portions are generous, and while the prices seem slightly higher than other Chinese places around here($50 for 2 noodle dishes, soup, and an entree), we will definitely go back because the portions are large and the quality is really good. Sometimes they underestimate how long it will take so I recommend going to pick up like 10 min after they estimate it’ll be ready.“

“Really good Chinese food and quick for pick up“

“One of the best Chinese food restaurants in the whole MetroWest area! Their hot and sour soup is one of the best I've ever had in addition to their gyoza, chicken tenders, pork fried rice, beef lo mein, and just about everything else on the menu!!

Dietary restrictions: Very willing to accommodate for dietary restrictions

Parking: There is a parking lot right next to the restaurant that is very easily accessible and free.“

“Never have I had anything like this!“

“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.“
