50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Medford

“Recently had lunch here for the first time and it was soooooo good. Delicious food, warm ambience and really nice staff.“

“Authentic Sichuan food, such a rare find! We ordered 酸菜鱼pickled vegetables and fish stew, 猪肉碎米牙菜pork belly with preserved vegetables, and wonton. All delicious- nothing is too spicy or salty, just the right flavor.
The service was excellent too. We came for an early dinner, so no wait. There was a water pitcher on the table for self serve, the one waitress serving the whole restaurant at the time was knowledgeable, efficient, and responsive when in need. After we ordered we were left alone to chat, there was no awkward interruptions like in other places, and that was perfect.
Love the place, would highly recommend.“

“Luncheon plates are huge, couldn’t finish it, and I was hungry! Saw the specials board, and noticed one of my favorites, that I haven’t had in some time! Will return tomorrow for the Peking Duck! Also noticed they now have full bar, not just beer , and wine!“

“We have ordered from here at least 5-6 times and it’s always really, really good, tasted fresh, good sauce to ingredients rating, etc. I recommend them in the Medford area over any other spot we have tried.
My only criticism this last time is that their fried rice didn’t have a lot of veggies in it (only bean sprouts and onions). I like peas, carrots, etc in my rice. But otherwise, it is cooked well and the shrimp in the shrimp option are cooked well and very tasty.
Also, my cashew chicken had peanuts instead of cashews. Thankfully i like peanuts.“

“These are some of the best people if I could give them 100 stars I would I’m a regular and they always throw in something extra unbelievable customer service and the food hits the spot when your craving Chinese and they always leave me a nice little note thanking me for my business I recommend to anyone in the Medford area“

“Ever since I ordered from here years ago, I have always loved this place. I got D19. Everything was hot and delicious. Chicken wings at other places have no taste, but here wow! Bug too. It's like two chicken wings. Everything is juicy and delicious, not dry. Big pieces of pork and veggies in the pork low menu. Extra soy sauce, duck sauce is free. Other places in the same area charge extra. When you walk in, the guy behind the counter is smiling and very friendly. I don't live close by, but the drive is worth it. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends and family!!“

“Food is great and the staff is great especially the bartenders!“

“Working in the area years ago,my coworker suggested this place. I live in Marlborough and whenever I get the chance I stop into my favorite place for Chinese food Mei Lings !! I love the rice and my go to is a number 16 diner special“

“Fast food at its best .. has some freshly made food. Everything tastes good brand new item the dynamite chicken I was very delicious also very spicy 🔥 the stuff is pretty cool I'm very informative this was my first time here and they helped me get through ordering my dinner“

“amazing food. INCREDIBLE service. can not say enough good things about my experience there last night.“

“extremely attentive staff, our meal was brought very promptly. bathroom could accommodate my wheelchair easily. we loved spending a special night there, and are already looking forward to our return visit“

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)“

“Not bad at all! Everything tasted good, although I wish the hand-cut noodles hadn’t been so uniform in their shape so I didn’t question their “hand” cut ness.
The beef scallion pancake was very nice, and thinly sliced scallion inside reminded me of Beijing duck flavors. It was quite sweet.
The pan fried buns were tasty, though maybe not the best I’ve had in Boston.
I would say that this restaurant has actually Chinese food, but seems very accessible and friendly to non-Chinese people who might be intimidated by anything too authentic.
Despite being quite full on Friday night, there was no wait for a table for 2.“

“We definitely enjoyed our meal! Pan seared pork bao and mala duck for appetizers. General Tso’s chicken and Grandma’s pork noodles for entrees. Good stuff! Kyle the bartender was awesome. We ate at the bar,“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“Thank you to Chef Jon for allowing us to pick up a package of frozen dumplings during our visit to Artifact on Memorial Day. Cooked them up tonight and they were delicious, as was the edamame salad!!“

“Found this place on Google & Pinterest. So glad we gave it a try. The chicken corn soup was sweet and delicious, we had pork and cabbage dumplings, spring rolls, hot tea, fried rice and kimchi. It was all delicious. I don’t use chop sticks so they brought me a fork. Would highly recommend this place it was busy but we don’t have to wait long for a table and they had a steady line of to go orders going out as well.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stone Pot Green Pepper Fish was absolutely amazing! 🔥

It arrived at the table still sizzling, and the aroma instantly made everyone hungry. The fish was incredibly tender and fresh, with no fishy taste at all. Every bite was soft, flaky, and perfectly cooked.

The green peppers added a bright, fragrant heat — spicy but not overwhelmingly intense. The broth had a subtle numbing kick from Sichuan peppercorns, but it didn’t overpower the natural flavor of the fish. Everything was well-balanced and layered with flavor.

It pairs perfectly with white rice, and honestly, I couldn’t stop eating it. So happy to find such authentic Sichuan flavor in Boston. Definitely a must-order dish and one I will come back for! 🔥“

“We have a new office in Boston. So periodically I drive down from our main office to the Boston location and every time I do, I have resolved to try a new restaurant. This was today’s choice and it was SPECTACULAR! My server was fantastic. The food came out quickly and was insanely good. I didn’t know how big my stir-fried rice cake bowl would be so I ordered the sweet and sour pork loin to go with it. But the rice cake bowl was huge and tasted incredible. Lots of heat, lots of fresh prepared veggies and meat. 10/10 would recommend that dish. The pork tenderloin I tried and 10/10 would recommend it as well. The location is a bit small and that is literally the only nit I can pick. If you’re in this area, get some take out or eat in , you won’t regret it!!“

“This place is amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious — no misses at all. They have great Sichuan flavors as well as Shanghai-style dishes. The owner is super nice, and the service is wonderful. Also, the young waiter is very handsome — he looks like a Korean movie star“

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

“I love the food, but the location is terrible. The wait is awful. The door and the wind tunnel effect is awful. Parking awful. Again love the food, especially the pan fried Shanghai style pork buns. The best. Just wish they were somewhere else.“

“Pleasantly surprised! The place was actually quite busy on a Friday afternoon. First caveat.. if you do not like lamb do not go here. There was a distinct lamb smell in the air because...lamb is really their specialty! We tried a few things.. beef and lamb, and by far the lamb was better. The noodles were the highlight, great texture and unlimited length! My comment makes it kind of funny that the noodles were harder to eat in my stir fry because it was one big noodle. Funny problem to have. Anyways I'll be back to try more stuff!“

“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in all of Boston. I recently went back for the first time in months, the food was so good! As I was finishing eating, I remembered reading recently there’s a New Owner, often times quality / consistency goes down with a New Owner however that is not the case here. If anything, the food was better than before 👍“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“Wonderful place to get a hot pot whether you're a seasoned pro or a newbie. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great... But what really stood out was the service: I've never in 45 years been to a place where the host comes around and warns you about the parking ban on the street, but I have now. That's truly going the extra mile for your customers!“

“I had a great time eating here because the atmosphere is really cool with big statues and a modern look that makes it feel fancy but still comfortable. The lettuce wraps are a must-try because they have so much flavor and are fun to put together yourself at the table. Everything we ordered came out looking beautiful and tasting really fresh, with a good mix of sweet and spicy options on the menu. The servers were very attentive and made sure our drinks stayed full throughout the whole meal. It is a perfect spot for a family dinner or a night out with friends when you want something consistently delicious.“

“I had the hand pulled noodles with beef. I wish I took a picture but I was so excited to devour it that it slipped my mind. The beef was cooked incredibly tender and the flavor was on point. The sauce had that indescribable nostalgic scent of home cooked Chinese food. The noodles you could tell were actually hand pulled. Some thicker, some thinner, but all delicious. Perfect texture and complemented the beef very well. I’ll be back with friends“

“always my "go to" - great food and really nice people!!😀“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“I’m surprised this place only got 4 reviews averaging 4. As Chinese who grew up in China this is one of the best and authentic places I’ve had over the years on the east coast. It may not be the fanciest but one of the warmest and most delicious and authentic places. Deserves a lot more traffic and better reviews than it has gotten. Extra bonus: you get to meet a friendly Caucasian waiter who speaks perfect mandarin.“

“Very delicious fish seafood noodle restaurant. Use to visit their pearl mall outlet restaurant as it’s very near to my working place. Recommended!! Cheers.“

“The food is great and short wait time.“

“Big Fun Claypot is a great addition to Brookline. It's clean and near a green line stop. The servers are polite and attentive. The salt and pepper is perfectly flavored and not dry. The beef chow fun has the wok energy taste but its on the oily side. As for the claypot rice itself, I ordered the eel which had a few bones in it but the eel was seasoned well.“

“The lamb biang biang cumin noodles were unbelievable, perfectly spiced with the crunchy vegetables and silky noodles. The Lanzhou beef noodle soup was delicious and light, with Szechuan pepper adding a nice numbing. The perfect small spot for a quick bite that will knock it out of the park! Self-service with QR code menu, paper upon request.“

“Came outside peak hours and had a pretty relaxed meal. The bilingual menu descriptions were fun. We ordered three meat dishes, and while everything was solid, nothing really stood out. It felt a little pricey at the end, though I’m not sure if that’s just the going rate for Chinese food in Somerville. Sichuan Cuisine in Watertown is still my favorite.“

“excellent! piping hot and delicious, authentic“

“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. 🤗🍜“

“Golden Kitchen is one of my favorite places to order from. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Every dish I’ve tried has been prepared well and arrives hot. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and provides excellent customer service. They are always attentive and make sure orders are accurate. Great food, great service, and a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommend!👍👍🩷🩷“

“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.“

“the downside is the delivery charges cost $7 so I can't order regularly too expensive“

“A wonderful tiki bar! We loved the food and creative cocktails.“

“I love eating there. Dim sum and dinner menu .“

“Great pan fried dumplings and Chinese cafeteria style dining. We were lucky and the pan fried dumplings were just coming out of the kitchen so they were piping hot - crispy outside, juicy and flavorful insides. We burned our mouths! 😰 they were so good, we took some to go. We also got a plate from the hot bar and that didn’t disappoint. Cheap prices, good food, and now they accept credit card!
Reader- if you’ve seen my other food posts, you learn that my belly eats first, camera last, hence not so great photos. Definitely coming back for more!“

“High quality of food and service“

“First time ordering here . It was delicious.“

“Best Chinese food ever, best waitress Cindy,“

“Excellent Food and out of this world drinks! All the way from RI for this.“

“What a hidden gem. I am surprised that people are not lining up outside their door to eat there. In my opinion they have some of the best Chinese food I ever had. We had the garlic eggplant and the Stir fried Tofu. The two dished were perfectly done in both taste and texture. Very reasonable prices as well. This is the second time we were there and plan to go back many more times.“
