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!!“

“SO YUMMY. Definitely worth the time to get in here. We were tipped onto it because of its Michelin recommendation. We went early to beat the rush, and I'm glad we did because people were starting to line up around 5:30! Can't wait to dine there again.“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

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

“I dined in alone and ordered their black pepper beef chow fun and it was great. My waitress was pretty accommodating and I also had a great time chatting with her. She even treated me to a free bowl of dessert. Overall, really nice and genuine people.“

“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.“

“This place is an undercover gem. In the land and times of terrible American/Chinese food, this place stands out. I took the gamble and will certainly be back for more. The sushi was very fresh and the beef and mushroom was surprisingly high quality. If anyone is on the fence, do it.“

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

“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!“

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

“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！“

“I got General Tso’s chicken from here, and it’s easily the best I’ve ever had!

When I walked in, I was greeted very warmly by an employee, which is already a big plus. The place is super nice, bright and kind of bougie. It looked very clean overall. It was also really busy during dinner time.

I can’t wait to try their other dishes too. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some delicious Chinese food!“

“I haven't sorceress from this place in years and I see over the years it has changed from Billy TSEs to Billy Cs. I ordered delivery and when the driver got here, he immediately asked for a tip, before trying to give me my foodm first of all that is BEYOND RUDE. You dont know if I tipped on card or if I did have cash for you, but just EXPECTING it. No you dont get a tip in my eyes, that is not OK. If you're delivering and all you are expecting is a tip every time, I feel bad because not everyone tips.“

“I went to this place for dinner two days in a row. Rice soup with seafood was delicious. Other dishes were also very satisfying. The only downside may be the small space and very limited capacity. It gets very busy during the dinner time. If you find no room when arriving, do not leave. Stay and wait for your table. It's not slow. It's worth the wait .“

“China River is one of those low-key gems that never disappoints. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and hits every time—whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tastes like it was made with care instead of rushed out.

The staff is friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe is calm and comfortable. It’s the kind of spot you keep coming back to because you know exactly what you’re getting: quality, consistency, and real comfort food energy.

If you’re in Beverly and craving solid Chinese food that actually delivers, this place is a safe bet every single time.“

“excellent! piping hot and delicious, authentic“

“Great service and amazing food. We will be back.“

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

“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 love coming here. I used to live across the street. The food is still amazing The portions are more than enough you’ll have leftovers The owners are very sweet respectful always attentive to your needs always checking if everything is OK. The food is fresh hot Definitely visit every time in town.“

“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.“

“Nyyydelig mat,anbefales���“

“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.“

“Their orange chicken is to die for! Not too sweet, not too sourly. Also we took teriyaki chicken which was decent as well. A small restaurant, we didn’t face any crowd when we went there which is quite unexpected considering the time was weekend afternoon in Salem! The price is most reasonable as well!“

“I am very shocked by the portion size for the price, the lady at the counter gave me a load ton of noodles (Vegetables Lo Mein) which filled up my entire container. This much of noodles for 6 bucks is an absolute steal, The counter lady was also very nice and knew I was hungry. Thanks for the great experience Ding Ho😂“

“They gave me 6-7 bowls of rice and gave me some really good 41 general tso chicken. And then the Chinese uncle in the back gave me a LOWWWWW taper fade after giving me my order, which was great! Also the tra la le lo tra la la shark with blue shoes attacked me, but the Asian uncle in the back the kitchen protected me with his magical wok hay!! The employees treat me very well and the food is very good for its price! And the food comes with a barbadillo crocodillo with 6’7 boba tea milk shake. I had a very good time here! I would give this place 5/5 stars review because of the magical Asian uncle that uses his ladle to fight his enemies away from the Asian Dynasty! P.S. 674121“

“Excellent food. Friendly service. Warm atmosphere.“

“BEST CHINESE FOOD WITHIN 50 MILES. 5 stars without a doubt. The food is always amazing. Ask for extra duck sauce.
Only issue with the place and believe me you'll learned to ignore them because of how good the food is, sometimes when they say 20 minutes for pick up its more like 45 minutes but that's fine. Their prices seem to be on par with other Chinese food places in the area, in my opinion all Chinese food is over priced but hey can't fault them for wanting to make money. Their food is well worth the price. we spend about $65 every time we go. It's enough food to make 2 adults uncomfortably full with enough left overs to do it again the next day. It's just as good reheated.“

“It’s a pretty small dim sum place but they make the most out of it! The servers were attentive. As for the food, I thought the selection and quality of the food was average compared to other dim sum places I’ve been to. Nothing that was phenomenal, but nothing that was bad either. I particularly liked the shrimp dumplings. They also had a photo of red bean buns dressed like minions on the wall that we ordered. However, they gave us what I think are egg yolk buns instead, with no minions which was disappointing. Not sure if it was a language barrier or if they messed up our order.“

“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.“

“If possible I’d give 10 stars to the spectacularly delicious food from the restaurant! I live in New Jersey, but I went to the restaurant every time I visit Boston. The Cantonese food is way better than many ones I’ve tried in other cities. Good portion, good quality, and wonderful taste! My fav 🙏“

“I know every Chinese restaurant was mobbed yesterday on NYE 12/31/25. On Tuesday 1/30 I placed a phone ordered with Hong Kong Cafe II in Peabody for a 530 pm pickup on NYE. I got there early and the place was mobbed. They called out peoples names as orders where ready. After 30-40 mins of waiting, we determined my phone order was lost, so they took my order on the spot, and prepared it, which was ready in about 10 mins. The food was piping hot and absolutely delicious when I got home. I called the restaurant to compliment them today 1/1/26.“

“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“

“The portion size is huge — honestly enough for two meals.
The flavor is pretty average, comparable to pre-made food you’d find in China, nothing fancy but not bad either.
That said, for this price and this portion, even if I get tired of it, I still have to give it credit. The value is hard to beat.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was a kid (31 now) and I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed fried rice more. Their boneless spare ribs are amazing, and their wings are phenomenally crispy and tasty. I can’t count how many D2s I’ve had from Honga, and I’ll be having them for years to come.

Ordering is efficient and quick, pickup is easy, the restaurant has tables for dining in. It’s everything you could want from Chinese takeout.“

“Best Chinese food in Malden.
I regularly come to Fortune corner because they never disappoint. Fast and quality service . Food is always amazing, if you know what you want but don’t see it on the menu just call and tell them and you’ll be amazed by how quick and tasty the food is. Very fair price as well.
Thank you fortune corner for being the best around for many years!“

“Love the place, especially Kevin, the bartender. Good service, friendly atmosphere, this is where we celebrate friends birthdays and other celebrations“

“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 !!!“

“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!!!!!“

“Went Gere with my friends family. Food was very good , atmosphere was very good . I liked that you saw all different people in here. AS I LOOKED AROUND EVERYONE was having a good time. It was really nice to see this. Alot of varieties for food choice. I really enjoyed the food .I belive I had 3 plates. Yes I'm greedy. Same with the people I was with. They even had ice cream and freshly made sushi. Soooooo good. I'm not from here, from NY. All week that I have been here they have been taking me to buffets. This is the second one that's really really good. Loved it. Even the people that work here smile and make conversations with others. Looked like to me there were a couple of regulars because I heard the waitress say to another customer how is ur daughter?. I really wish I could come back and now I left so stuffed. We all did. Thank you to all employees. Thank you for your hard work.“

“Live in Gloucester“

“The food here was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for in a great dim sum experience. Once the meal got going, the service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was lively and enjoyable.

That said, the start of the meal was a bit slow. It took longer than expected for someone to come take our initial order for tea and soup, and we were waiting for a while before things really got moving.
The main issue we experienced was at the very end. We left what we felt was a fair $20 tip, but the staff member handling the bill told us it was “too low” and insisted we needed to leave at least $30. We ended up increasing it to $25, and even then she seemed unhappy. That felt uncomfortable and unnecessary.

We’ve traveled to China many times, where tipping isn’t part of the culture, and we believe tipping should be based on the service provided, not pressured or demanded. The food and experience were great, but the way the tip situation was handled left a negative impression at the end of an otherwise excellent meal.

Overall, we’d still recommend the restaurant for the quality of the food, but we hope management addresses how gratuities are communicated to customers.“

“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.“

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

“Got the sweet & sour chicken with fried rice. It was so good. Came with broccoli. They charged me for Sriracha (to-go) $1
The fried rice was amazing. I also ordered that entree for my child. The wonton soup was pretty good. I would come back.“

“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.“

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

“This is the BEST Chinese food in the USA. I have eaten in NYC, LA, major cities in Florida. Nothing compares to this restaurant. There is a taste to the fried rice that i can’t find anywhere else and it drives me crazy. I’ll be back even if it’s a 5 hour commute.“

“Delicious food and good service here .“

“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.“
