50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Swampscott

“Very pleased with the service professionalism and kindness of the staff of Gourmet Gardens in Swampscott MA. The food is very delicious and bountiful too!!“

“Great food,we always order to go. I highly recommend Tung!s. Taste. Food is always fresh,delicious and service is great“

“Very very delicious and comforting. Real deal. Considered dropping a star for slow service but in retrospect I think Head of the Charles this weekend just made everything a little more slow.

Lanzhou beef noodle soup was SO yummy words can’t even describe how the broth made me feel tbh. Lamb skewers were fatty and juicy and bursting with flavor. Mala tofu with preserved egg and rice was a great contrast to the other dishes — light and refreshing (also I love preserved egg with my whole heart). And the osmanthus flavor iced jelly? Slurp.

Picture included of plates made CLEAN.“

“Delicious food. Quick and friendly service. Sautéed clam with black bean sauce is a must to order- always perfectly sautéed. Best salted fish fried rice. I personally just do not prefer the smell of the restaurants when they happen to locate at basement. But happy with food and service!“

“Egg roll-Ribs on the bone- Crab Rangoon- Peking Ravioli - chicken and broccoli- Delicious! The women at the front desk- A plus personality! I’ll be a customer

Today, another fabulous meal. A Plus,-Plus! Beef,
Mushroom Chow Yoke- House Fried Rice- Spare Ribs on the Bone- Crab Rangoon- and Egg Rolls.
The food is fresh and delicious. The mushrooms are fresh- Best Chinese Food in the area! Hands down.“

“It is a gem in Boston Chinatown serving the Hong Kong favorites. 香滿園是波士頓唐人街的香港美食必到之處，家庭式，鮮食材，唔好走寶！“

“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!“

“Good services from Mr Alamin & staff from Pearl Point outlet 👍👍“

“Upscaled Chinese fusion restaurant.

Tried a few items, all had an above average rating for me. My 5* worth review is for the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. The meat was very tender and succulent. Price to dish ratio is average with a lot of their items priced higher, but also they have a very nice ambience and the best part is the ease of placing an order per table basis by just scanning the QR code where every individual can add their own times collectively for the table. A very convenient and innovative idea which I would absolutely love for all the restaurants to have, so a big kudos to them for implementing this technology.“

“This is a cozy spot with only a few tables - feels like a hole in the wall and the food was good! Well seasoned, portion is a bit small but fine. Brought my family to dine here for our final meal in Boston and everyone enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The clay pot rice would take some time to cook (which is normal) but the other dishes were served pretty fast. Restaurant wasn’t loud, we enjoyed some OG Cantonese songs in the background, and overall the service was 10/10.“

“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 a great spot for Chinese food and some sushi as well. Super local spot, it’s a real IYKYK kind of place. Great cuisine, awesome environment with great drinks as well. They have 3 different seating areas, bar area, more quiet side with the sushi chefs or the main dining area.“

“Susu Gourmet is my go-to spot for authentic, home-style Taishanese food. Their famous clay pot rice and rice rolls are absolute must-haves. Every visit feels like being transported back to a cozy family dinner, with a steaming bowl of nourishing soup on a quiet Sunday—just like being at your grandparents’ table!! Please show them all the love!“

“It’s exactly as you expect. Quick, flavorful & at a good price in a hole in the wall environment. Recommend the tomato based broth with sirloin. The bbq tripe skewer was great in flavor & crunchy texture. The bbq sausage felt like it was missing a flavor (maybe ginger or just cooking it longer to char/carmelize?) to complete it. The wife also says the tofu skin is wonderful.“

“Always quality food, and top notch friendly service. I will always highly recommend Su Changs, as a great dining experience.“

“I love lucky house I have been coming here ever since they Opened and I have yet to be disappointed. I love the people who work here the owners are very nice and always greet me with a Friendly smile, which I appreciate. I pray these folks make a lot of money this year because they deserve it. God bless them and their family 🙏🏼💯💯“

“Just want to give a shout out to Osaka Lucky Garden. They were very accommodating and patient with my nana in a wheelchair ♿️ (Even when we came through the wrong entrance for that, when the rear has handicap access and parking). Also with my child that got impatient towards the end. They even helped with having my grandmother navigate through the back entrance once we were done with our meal. Big kudos!!“

“I visited Little Asia a few times after trying a few different things I've decided that some of the other dishes rather than the typical Chinese food such as the Husang beef and in the garlic noodles were amazing salt and pepper chicken wings were also nothing to forget “

“Great spot amazing food and great owner. I personally love the summer shrimp.“

“Love Honga been ordering for a long time! Someone from group needed gluten free - when I asked if there were any gluten free options they said it’s all gluten free! How can that possibly be? Know your ingredients! Some people can’t tolerate any gluten!“

“Great local spot for New England chinese food. Salt and Pepper wings are an underrated treat. Delivery is always faster than they say unless it's New Years Eve or some other "Order Out" holiday. A lot of the bad reviews seem to come from people with too high expectations. It's not Michilen Star, its Chinese food. Highly recomend Jade, take the trip, make your own judgement.“

“This place hits home for me, since we moved to revere in 2015 I tried all the Chinese food places around and this one to me is the best. Pupu platters to regular dishes everything tastes phenomenal. My kids love the low mein and the chicken wings. Gets looked over for being by the beach but that’s ok cause the locals know a gem when we see one.“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“Great prices and quality. The food is always fresh, never greasy, not loaded with sodium, plenty of options. My favorite is the Appetizer Lunch or Dinner, you pick 3 and can add extra ones for a modest price. It's a mini PuPu platter with none of the things you don't want. Everyone in my office LOVES this place. We stopped ordering from the local well known place, both have excellent food, but again, love the options and price.“

“Delicious food and good service here .“

“I like it here. Nothing special but the place serves good food, good portions, and at a good price. Checks the three big boxes for me“

“Nyyydelig mat,anbefales���“

“Winsor Dim Sum Café – A Dim Sum Gem in Boston Chinatown

We tried Winsor Dim Sum Café recently, and honestly, it hit all the right notes. If you’re looking for solid, authentic dim sum in Boston’s Chinatown, this place is a winner.

We weren’t here for the ambiance—just came for the food, and it delivered. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out fast. The service was great too—friendly and super efficient, which isn’t always the case with dim sum spots.

We ordered a bunch of dishes: shiu mai, fried rice, several kinds of bao, and other classic dim sum staples—and every single thing was delicious. The bao especially stood out: soft, warm, and packed with flavor. My family, who lived in China for a few years, was impressed and said it tasted like the real deal. That’s a pretty strong endorsement.

We’ve tried a few other spots in Chinatown, but Winsor stands out for three things: the taste, the speed, and the service. Definitely adding this to the go-to list when we’re craving dim sum.“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“food was surprisingly fast and cheap, i thought maybe the noodles would be greasy and taste cheap, but nope these were actually very high quality noodles. this spot is a life saver for living in the area. tofu is extremely soft but the flavor was good enough for me to forgive it. i added some of my own vegetables and sauce to this and had it for lunch and dinner and had a great time. do not be foolish and live here while being ignorant of ding ho.“

“Excellent food. Friendly service. Warm atmosphere.“

“We took a large group of students from all over Massachusetts during a field trip to experience authentic Chinese food in Chinatown. The staff was really helpful and the food delicious. Our group loved every minute of it! Thank you so much Hei La Moon for your warm welcome, wonderful service, and fantastic meal!“

“Always let a bad experience with Chinese food during my childhood ruin my feelings towards it but then I came here. Great prices but not much to choose from. Thankfully you can’t go wrong with any of the options they give out.

tried crab for the first time , so amazing!“

“Start the day with our homecook breakfast, this place serve you a very good taste congee, dimsum, and many chinese food to kick start your day.

Price very reasonable comparing in Boston, and open too early for you to jump the day off.

Staff are freindly in Chinese way, which i got very comfort too, and surely come back when i have a chance to visit Boston again.“

“Excellent Food!!!! Loved the Chicken Chow Mein. It was packed with fresh white chicken and veggies were perfectly cooked. The Pork Fried Rice was super fresh and had big pieces of fresh pork. The egg roll was huge and not greasy. Delicious!!!!!“

“I used tove this place. till I pd 15$ for beef and veggies. staff could not care“

“The food was okay but the attitude that you get from the owners is horrible The woman who runs the counter has one of the worst attitudes I've ever seen not to mention the fact if you ask her for two half pints a full pint of the red sweet and sour sauce she will hand you a container the size of one of those little duck sauce containers and try to charge you for a full pint she did this to me and my husband several times while we were living in Beverly not to mention the fact they forgot food several times We had to send my husband back to the restaurant to pick up food that they forgot several times“

“The meals they serve are fresh and tasty, the service they provide are excellent. A lot of seafood. Again, they always have delicious food. I have a wonderful experience everytime l go over there.“

“Best Chinese food around without a doubt!!!! I’ve been a lot of places searching for good Chinese food and this is the place!!! Service is great, food is hot and plentiful. Always leftovers. Always order from Hong Kong express! When you schedule a pick up time just expect to be waiting about 10-15 minutes for it.

Vegetarian options: Sesame tofu is great!!!“

“A early bday treat for Harry…. Arthur is the most fussy eatting but he is loving the food and the staff are wonderful bring lots of different food for him to try what a wonderful little hidden gem of a restaurant loved how we where not rushed so we where able to try lots of the different food on offer staff where amazing we really enjoyed the experience and was very well looked after thank you all we will be back ❤️“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“My husband and I love J&J! We’ve been going faithfully since they opened. They have the best owners, staff, and Chinese/Asian fusion food in the area. Their sushi and drinks are top notch. Most importantly the service is amazing. We got a few trays of food from them too for New Year’s Eve. Not sure if they offer catering all the time but would def suggest not only dining in the restaurant but ordering takeout/catering as well!“

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

“We were in like after 9pm (9:05pm i think) before their 9:30 pm closing time. We were asking if they still accept dine in, the lady owner is nice and still welcomes us. I usually won't dine in when it is about any restaurant's closing time, but my friend and i were so hungry. Excellent food and the owner is very nice, thank you so much!“

“always a great experience when we go, my favorite dish is the fried lobster👌🏿❤️“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. It reminds me of the American dream !!! A very tight nit family all working together. I believe it’s 3-4 generations that work here. They are always very pleasant and their food is always fast fresh and hot. I have never had a single bad experience here and as of now I’ve probably ordered from here 20-30 times so far. This restaurant reminds me of the foundation this country was built on. Which is small business. I enjoy every aspect of this restaurant. You should give it a try and never judge a book by its cover !!!“

“They're very nice & I enjoy their food. It's in a mall food-court which is kept clean by staff & hopefully good behavior of customers, so lower your expectations. They control only themselves & their food.

Kid-friendliness: It's a mall.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. It's a mall in the USA.“

“Supporting the democracy of Taiwan with 2 chopsticks in hand. #malamagic“

“The food was pretty good, wasn’t that big of a fan of the lo mein but it wasn’t bad! Online it said it was only $41 but when I got there it was $51, she let me pay the $44 I had and told me come back tomorrow to pay the rest, which I will. I appreciate that gesture, the customer service was nice! The atmosphere was not great AT ALL. I’m not sure if they were re doing the restaurant but there was only one table and a few chairs put around the restaurant, it was pretty full of people and I had no space to be in there comfortably, on a hot day, this was not what I was hoping for! But it wasn’t the worst experience.“

“★★★★★ — BEST EGG DROP SOUP IN TOWN

Fen Yang House has become the dependable dinner hero in our home—and judging by how often I see its white take-out bags on Atlantic Ave., I’m not alone.

What keeps us coming back

Dual-menu delight. Where else in Marblehead can you order picture-perfect salmon maki and a sizzling plate of General Gau’s chicken from the same kitchen? The Chinese standards taste exactly like you hope they will (crispy, not greasy, with sauce that’s tangy-sweet, not syrupy), while the sushi rice is shockingly fluffy for a suburban spot.
Grubhub
Uber Eats

Lightning-fast service. Whether we grab take-out after work or schedule delivery through Uber Eats or Grubhub, the food is hot, neatly packed, and at the door in 30 minutes or less—even on Friday nights.
Grubhub
Uber Eats

Can’t-miss crowd-pleasers.

Peking ravioli—tender dumplings with that addictively garlicky dipping sauce.

Crab Rangoon—golden, super-crispy pillows (a must-order for every game night).

Sesame chicken—perfect crunch-to-sauce ratio and real orange zest in the glaze.

House fried rice—loaded with big shrimp and BBQ pork, never oily.
Postmates
Uber Eats

Recent facelift, same neighborhood soul. The dining room makeover last year brightened the space with warm wood and modern lighting, yet still feels casual enough for a quick family lunch.
Marblehead Current

Fair prices & generous portions. One entrée easily feeds two (with leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch), so a full feast rarely tops what other places charge for just sushi.

Bottom line: From noon luncheon specials to late-night lo mein cravings, Fen Yang House delivers consistent flavor, friendly service, and unbeatable variety. If you’re in Marblehead and haven’t ordered yet, treat yourself—you’ll understand why this place is a local staple after the very first bite.“
