50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Wellesley

“Best Chinese food ever, best waitress Cindy,“

“I’m here with my mom we from Puerto Rico; we came almost 5 years or more and I’m here celebrating my birthday great food and great place. I’m definitely coming back.“

“Food is amazing!!! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend for hand pulled noodles(the name is a pretty hard giveaway). The bouncy texture and flavorful soup options are what you’ll want on a cold rain day or after a good workout. I would order the vegetable dumplings and vegetable mala pot or just pot, if spicy food is not for you (for any vegetarians and everyone) to try.“

“I discovered this restaurant while bicycling to Lexington on the Minuteman Trail. I love the traditional dining room with table cloths and Chinese decorations. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly and attentive. It has become one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Boston.“

“It's a very simple fly restaurant, but it's not easy to eat authentic Chinese food here. This kind of product is worth recommending. The dishes are very generous. Two people, one meat dish and one vegetarian dish, a bowl of rice, three cans of drinks + tip $50 Yuan, very satisfied with the meal. The price/performance ratio is very high and the service from the boss is also very good. The dining environment is average and there are few seats. If you miss the peak period, you don’t have to wait for a table. Free parking is available in front of the restaurant.“

“I came here with my family and got to try a lot of things! Most dishes were above average. The salt and pepper calamari was particularly good, so we would definitely try more salt and pepper dishes next time. The Sichuan boiled fish fillet was also good.

The lobster with vermicelli was pretty tasty, but we would want to try the ginger scallion lobster next time for the bolder flavors. We were also sitting next to the lobster/fish tank, and it didn't seem that clean..

The dungeness crab with sticky rice was quite bland, unfortunately. The shrimp with snow peas was decent but nothing special.

Overall we would probably choose items that have stronger flavors next time. The menu is huge, so there's a lot left to try!“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at P.F. Chang’s. The food was excellent and served quickly, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Our server, Amelia, was outstanding! She was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Her service truly elevated the experience. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Wok & talks food is so fresh and delicious! People there are nice and very helpful!“

“Food was amazing came with so much even for the pricing I thought it was appropriate. Left full and did not leave any and customer service was so good kind and took care of us very well my water was always full I’m surprised this place isn’t packed 100% recommend“

“The feeling that filled my heart in this moment was one finding a long lost love. One that you had once, one that eventually drifted apart due to whatever circumstances, and then finding each other again in the most unexpected moment and regaining that wonderful traction of a friendship all over again. Yes, I’m talking about food.

It was once a tale of two spots. One in Watertown and one right here. As I resided in closer to the Watertown location since the move here, I frequented it and found solace in their dishes - absolute comfort food that was done very well. However, like all businesses, things change and eventually the business was sold. I knew there was a transition period and the owner and chefs stuck around to “train” the new owners. I hoped that the “good” would remain and that the new owners would continue the tradition of wonderfully curated dishes and keep the regulars coming back. Did it happen? No. I gave them about a month of repeated visits to gauge their level of culinary competence but it never came through.

Long story short. I stopped going and that feeling of lost love began to fester.

I didn’t think much of it. I thought he had sold this place too since I’ve often overheard him saying how hard it was to run this business to his associates as he tried to satisfy every customer walking in the door or ringing the phone off the hook. So when I finally found a chance to be on this side of town, I decided to stop by and give it a shot. Maybe, maybe I thought, the new owners here would do a much better take on what they had taken over.

What I didn’t expect after placing an order was to see the owner walking out from the kitchen with dishes in hand to serve another table. Eyes wide open, I couldn’t help but say, “HEY! Good to see you again.” He in return showed the same look and smiled greeting me back with fondness and delight.

That’s when I spoke to the lady and asked more about the whole situation, wherein she explained how they sold the other place but kept this one. Regulars of the other spot now take the 15-20 minute drive just to come up here instead for a meal. I smiled. It made sense. They must have felt robbed when they went back after the place was sold. Food wasn’t even remotely the same. Don’t even talk about service either.

Anyways, long story short, when the food came out. I felt this completeness return back to my soul. Here, once again, I felt home away from home. The food did me justice. The flavors impeccable. The culinary finesse was displayed thoroughly with each bite. So it is, once again, I found my long lost love again in Boston and can’t wait to be here every single Sunday for a wonderful special meal that teleports me back to what “Home Tastes” like.“

“Found this place by chance while searching for a place for quick dinner in the area. Food was surprisingly authentic sichuan and thoroughly enjoyed all dishes we tried.
-Chengdu dry chicken with red chilies $21.95 delicious flavor with mild mala numbing spices, but breaded chicken pieces seem overly deep fried.
-Stir fried chicken with black bean sauce, green bell pepper and onion $18.95 even onions had full flavor and tasty. Chicken was little salty though.
-Beef Chow Fan $18.95 best smokey flavor I've tasted in years
-hot and sour soup $4.95 with all the right ingredients it was still flavorless but salty.
Place was clean with decent table settings, fast service. Decent size parking available.“

“my favorite rest. they are the best.ask for george!“

“Best Chinese food around and the best customer service! Always so friendly and the foods always fresh! I highly recommend“

“Came here to get some sushi for lunch the pricing was outstanding and the quality was top notch

atmosphere was very cozy staff was accommodating and everything was fresh and delicious.

Happy to have found this little spot look forward to coming back again in the future“

“Great new Chinese restaurant. Love the combo plates! General Tsao chicken had perfect peppers. Boneless pork rib and crab ragoon apps were great as well. Very generous dinner portions.

Inside of restaurant is very clean and new. Will definitely order here again.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I've now eaten here in person and called for delivery - the food and service is amazing! We ordered from the Chinese appetizers, entrees, and sides and were very impressed with the food quality and consistency. They were able to deliver to our address promptly - the food was still hot! The service in person was equally great. Highly recommend!“

“Best of hand made dumplings. Our whole family including little kids love them. Definitely try them! You don’t know what delicacies you are missing u til you try them. The wrappers’textures are amazing. It has soup in it and the meat is great.
Their rice and noodles dishes are all very good. Service is quick and friendly.“

“I saw Jayson Tatum here yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like five orders of crab rangoons in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bags and keyed in quantity x5, he stopped her and told her to enter each line individually “to prevent any math tricks,” and then turned around and winked at me. If he was making a joke, I guess I didn't get it. After she keyed in each individual order of rangoons and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.“

“I enjoy their lunch takeout a lot. A friend from work and I have their lunch takeout out specials frequently and highly enjoy them. The sesame chicken is so tasty. Large portions and friendly staff always keep us coming back. I recommend having lunch or dinner here for sure.“

“Simply the best Chinese restaurant in Framingham. They don't offer sit-down tables as it's mostly takeout. It's a family-owned establishment with phenomenal food that consistently delivers the same delicious flavor. I've been a customer for over 15 years. Navigating to downtown Framingham can be a bit tricky, but the effort is worth it for their always fresh, cooked-to-order meals at reasonable prices.“

“Good Chinese food, amazing service. Ordered online some pork fried rice and chicken lo mein and specified there was a sesame allergy, also ordered sesame chicken. Got a phone call within <5 minutes confirming that sesame chicken does, in fact, have sesames and to double check the allergy alert in case we forgot it. I informed that someone separate would be eating the sesame chicken and when I picked up, the allergy food was separate from the rest of our order. Very nice staff and always a pleasant experience picking up.“

“This place is by far the best I've had in the area. Not only is the food delectable but they also have Exquisite combination options not a lot of Chinese restaurants offer a mixture of delicious foods in one combo platter this is definitely my goal to when Framingham and the surrounded counties“

“A hidden gem that opened last year and now our weekly go-to for Japanese - sashimi, sushi, ramen and poke bowls. The staff is very friendly and the owner, Anna, makes you feel so at home. The sashimi/sushi are fresh, delicious and prepared beautifully. The cocktails are creative and well made - mai tais, pistachio martinis, you name it. The kids (and adults) enjoy various fruit teas/slushees with optional boba. They also offer Chinese and Thai food on the menu. Staples like beef teriyaki sticks, sichuan fried rice or tangerine beef are must haves and often added to our meals with lots of leftovers to go home with. Highly recommend Wasabi Asian Bistro&Bar to anyone looking for great Asian food.“

“High quality of food and service“

“We went there Saturday afternoon. I ordered my usual, Chicken Subgum Chow Mein and boneless spareribs. The waitress was very nice but limited in the English language. Therein was part of the problem. I did not get what I would consider my usual. It looked like Chop Suey . Not what I am used to. I sent it back and received pretty much the same thing on the second try. The boneless spare ribs were very fatty and not like the ribs I received on prior visits. Also the Duck Sauce seemed to be "watered down" with very little taste. All in all it wasn't a pleasant experience this time. Hopefully it will be better next time.“

“This is going to be a long one but the short of it? This place is a must-try! I visited with a group in the evening. The drink menu offers all the classic boba flavors you'd expect, along with some unique twists like a soda lemonade drink that was super refreshing on a hot day. It’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends, with plenty of seating, including cozy spots in the back if you want to get some work done as WiFi is available.
We weren’t planning to eat, but ended up ordering the popcorn chicken. It was the perfect snack. Later, we ordered their chicken teriyaki. The food is freshly made by the owner’s mother, which makes the whole experience feel extra special and fresh.
Beyond the food and drinks, this shop is full of surprises: handmade teas, press-on nails, and original artwork created by the owner, who is an incredible artist. You can purchase prints or postcards of their work, which adds such a personal and creative touch to the space. This is a family-owned gem with heart, flavor, and creativity. I already can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“Chicken lo mein is mid, but the scallion pancakes are fresh and crispy, and Rick serves a stiff SB, but
I love this place for more than its good and reasonably priced fare. There’s a certain curb appeal that comes from having no windows that more modern establishments are still struggling to grasp. Rick is the most gracious host/server/bartender, and I welcome any additional business in his direction even if it’s just to hear his genuine, “You’re welcome,” each and every time you politely thank him for something. It’s fun to go for some drinks with a few friends when it’s dead, and fun to go to celebrate your birthday when it’s popping. Give it a whirl!“

“This place is amazing- We came to visit for our Boston trip for the weekend and we decided to eat at this place. Not only the prices are cheap, but the food quality and portions make it AMAZING. I would 💯 recommend to eat at this place anytime. You will not regret it.“

“After reading some reviews, I decided to come here for dinner. The waitress has provided lovely service and the food comes out very quick. When I ordered their crab rangoons, it arrived with massive decoration and I can instantly tell that they care a lot about their customers. Aside from that, it’s a very peaceful place with friendly staff at the front desk. I even tried their basil fried rice, hot and sour soup, and sesame chicken and it was UNBELIEVABLE. It’s like they added a secret ingredient inside that makes the food perfect! I will definitely come back soon!!“

“The staff here are very friendly and kind. I recently bought a small crab Rangoon and small ginger and scallion lo mein. It was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and had great taste without too much oil. I would highly recommend this place and the dishes I got!“

“Delicious hot tasty food! The best Chinese food we’ve tasted it in quite some time . Reasonably price, and super friendly! We will definitely be ordering from here again our new favorite Chinese food place! Fast delivery too! Delicious!!
-5 stars!!!“

“It’s been awhile since we last visited. Dim sum tasted as good as we remembered.
Everything was steamy hot.
Our favorites are the crispy pork chashu buns. This time we have to order them. They were in the push carts.
Shrimp dumplings (ha gow), pork and shrimp sui mai were really good!
Steamed Bean curds pork rolls came with three in the steamer was delicious too!
Chicken feet with black beans and garlic, fried taro dumplings, steamed pork ribs, lotus leaves wrap with sticky rice, fried sesame balls with red bean paste inside, tofu pudding….They were all very good!
Except the jelly fish and radish… they tasted from a package. A little mala taste (numbing) seasoning. We didn’t enjoy that!
Service was excellent! The waitstaff are always so fast and friendly!
Clean restroom and restaurant seems pretty spacious!
Get there at 10 am when they open then you won’t have to wait.
By 10:30 am it was a full house on a Sat am! Would definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“Best Dumplings and Boba in the whole world“

“Stopped in randomly. Visually didnt look too inspiring. Food was all really good though. Fried rice was delish. Curry chicken was awesome. Schezuan tofu was great. Wonton soup was a hit. Crab Rangoon was as expected. Only complaint fried wontons were weirdly hard. And fair price.“

“Been eating from them 2yrs food so delicious so good thy make it to perfection, never undercooked or overcooked.It's always just right never got one of orders wrong,never been sick from eating their food,and I always leave a tip they very much deserve it!“

“Upon search for a Chinese restaurant in the area. We found Westwood Jade in Westwood, Ma. We ordered, it was good food, price and service. Everything was very good. The Pork fried rice how I like it with eggs well cooked with (no hard grains), chicken wings were nice and soft not extra crispy, ribs were not chewy and not hard just perfect, chicken lo main was nice and saucy and not sweet which I loved, not dry, loaded with chicken, cabbage was nice and crisp and onions just the right amount very tasty, and crab Rangoon were crispy, warm and the filling was perfect. They gave us plates, forks, spoons, napkins, sauces, fortune cookies and hot sauce. 10/10 Thank you we enjoyed your service! God Bless.“

“Good options for meat, fish and veggies“

“I'm honestly surprised by some of the lower reviews for this restaurant. I live in town and this is usually our go-to for Chinese food. Our go to dishes include beef and broccoli as well as shrimp and broccoli and they've always been pretty good. The serving size is good and the price is appropriate for what you get. We always do take out but so far we are pretty much always pleased.“

“Once in a while I have a craving from my childhood and thats' bitter melon and because no one else in my family will eat this, I go to Dumpling House. I have it as a stir fried dish with a protein. It is delicious, slightly different to how I had it growing up (we had it with black bean sauce). But this is just as delicious, not as bitter (slightly sweet) and not garlicky at all. It certainly satisfies my craving. Only negative is that it doesn't come with rice and one has to order that separately. Service is efficient, friendly and timely. I'll continue to come back again!“

“Love this place! The food is so fresh and delicious. The owners and staff are the nicest people on the planet. They take such good care of us. Drinks are good too!

Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome!

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible“

“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 .“

“A diamond in the rough!!!I absolutely love the service I receive & the food is great ?Thank you for helping me while I recover from surgery - they accommodated me by delivering even when they were about to close!!!Much appreciated ❤️“

“This is our go to in the area. I’m not sure if there’s new management or not this last few years or so, but something happened and now the food is magical. There’s a small indoor eating area, but I’ve observed maybe a handful of folks use it in the last 5 years or so. I have seen 10 simultaneous pick up orders crowd the front desk though.“

“I was lucky enough to try their take out on American New Years. Their fried chicken, Char Sui pork, fried pork dumplings, scallion pancake, and fried rice are served hot and are very tasty...fresh ingredients, well prepared. The beef skewers were very tasty. The exterior of their restaurant is painted a cheerful Rose Madder pink. They have wooden Chop sticks and sides of " plum sauce " or, as its also known as , " Duck sauce." I hope to return there soon. This is a popular Waltham Spot. I'm pretty sure ine can order online as well and through Uber, Grub Hub, and Door Dash.“

“Excellent fresh food and great employees“
