50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Wellesley

“Best Chinese food ever, best waitress Cindy,“

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

“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.“

“Had my doubts, I went to the restaurant relatively late at night, and the atmosphere was a bit creepy, maybe because of the lighting. But the staffs are very friendly, and the food is incredible, especially with the price point. Will be coming back, maybe I'll try dining in next time...“

“The quality of the food was pretty good. The House Lo Mein with hand-pulled noodles was tasty (not very different from chow fun I’ve had elsewhere, though, in both flavor and composition). General Gao’s chicken was small pieces of white meat, which I appreciated versus the poor-quality bits rolled into balls of batter you usually get. And the vegetarian dumplings came with a delicious dipping sauce. But these 3 items, delivered, cost me $50. $50?! For two takeout entrees and an appetizer?“

“I have celiac disease and they have many gluten-free options. They offer several gluten-free appetizers including dumplings. They also serve chicken, beef and seafood dinners and fried rice all gluten-free. They are very knowledgeable about allergies. Waitresses are very friendly. Great food and service.“

“Wanted to try their lunch specials. The portions were very large and reasonably priced. You get only white rice and soup with your Entree. Portions are big enough to share. Big choice of classic Chinese food. You would need to order appetizers extra if you want it. Fried rice is on the dinner menu, but lunch is only white rice. Dinner portions are large enough to share. Next time we will order one dinner entree, one order fried rice or lo-mein, and one appetizer about the same price as 2 lunches.“

“Courtney the bartender was amazing despite being super short staffed! She remained positive even with tremendous pressure to take care of the bar and the servers- the kitchen did not help her - but she remained a positive force to provide a great experience- she alone made our experience great!“

“Ordered the Wonton Soup and it was delicious. Highly recommend this place.“

“There was a moment where I genuinely spaced out and thought I was just back in a small casual restaurant somewhere in China.
It makes me wonder whether places like this even expect to serve non Chinese speakers. The food is great, the price is reasonable, and more people really should try this type of service and cooking. At the same time, the whole space feels like it runs on its own reality and rhythm. In that sense, writing this entire review in English might not even make sense, because non Chinese speakers reading reviews like this might still choose not to come here. Anyway, this contradiction and the parallel pocket reality are part of the experience itself.“

“Delicious and reasonably priced! The high was the gluten free menu which made it simple to know exactly what I could eat (they also have gluten free soy sauce). Waitress answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable eating there with celiac disease!“

“We order the fresh hand-pulled noodles all the time here – it’s probably our favorite takeout in the neighborhood. Always absolutely delicious – I particularly like the ones with fermented spicy chili paste. They have cleaned up the restaurant a bit since the dark days of Covid, so it’s actually pleasant to eat in. But there’s nothing like leftover noodles in the fridge for a delicious snack…“

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

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

“My coworker introduced me to Wild Blossom several years ago when I worked in the area. The food & service is great and much more reasonable priced than some other local restaurants. I moved to out of state but will go there when I’m in town.
Best Chinese food around!“

“excellent authentic chinese food (not chinese american, actual chinese cuisine), good portion sizes, and quick service even when busy. less expensive than mulan, the only other authentic chinese restaurant in the area. easy to order with the qr code on each table. new favorite restaurant in waltham! favorite dishes: fish fillet with chili, stir fried beef & tomatoes, beef with horn peppers“

“I ordered two dishes and both had mild flavors that weren’t overpowering, making them enjoyable for anyone. I tried the Mapo Tofu and the thick noodles served with bok choy in a slightly spicy and tangy sauce. The noodles seemed to be handmade and had a great chewy texture. Even though I’m sensitive to strong spices and usually can’t handle heavily seasoned Chinese food, everything here suited me really well. I would recommend this place to anyone who prefers clean and well-balanced flavors.“

“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.“

“Egg Foo Yong. Is A1 I don’t know what’s on the sauce or that gravy but it’s so good. You could just eat it By herself, the Food is so fresh and good. And the people that are so respectful and nice. I’ve been coming there for maybe a year now and I don’t and won’t be Greate From Coming To This Place.“

“This place is great authentic Chinese food! You can tell they take pride in there food! I came up from SC to visit my parents and wanted to try this place because of the great reviews. This is my parents new favorite Chinese place for sure. Thanks, yall!“

“High quality of food and service“

“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!!!“

“I’ve come here for years for the bubble tea, but recently decided to try some of their dinners and desserts. Wow – I felt like I had entered someone’s house and had been given one of the most delicious home-cooked Asian meals ever. In addition, the owner always remembers me and welcomes me in. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“My favorite place for Chinese food. So fresh and amazing. You have to try the chicken egg foo young with its special sauce. To die for!!!“

“Opens at 10pm and I was hungry and food was amazingly delicious
I ordered hot and sour soup, shrimp fried rice, beef and broccoli.
I would say these foods were way over than the existing expectation.
I would visit to order different food next time. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Having dined in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, 8 other Chinese cities, as well as the Chinatowns of New York, San Francisco and Boston, I consider Ding’s Kitchen to faithfully capture the tastes and authenticity of these other culinary experiences.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Star House has always been top notch for takeout Chinese. They do not do sit down service anymore but take out and delivery only. Food is very good, freshly prepared, and great value. I have been ordering there a few times a month for years and have tried many menu items and have always enjoyed my choices. Owner/staff are awesome.“

“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.“

“It was my chinese favorite place but eventually I developed an allergy to soy and have to stopped eating chinese food. Last week I came back after several years to order dumplings and fried rice for a friend of mine who has her husband in a rehab and both enjoyed it! Her daughter called me back to ask me for the name of the place because the food was delicious and they want to order again.“

“Always delivery, they are always on time & hot food. I only wish they were a full service restaurant. The crabragoons best EVER ♥️ loaded with delicate cheese & best delicate flakey wrap & cooked to perfection VS rubbery & chewy or unsightly like other places that look like plucked chicken skin sadly & with hardly any only skimpy delightful filling. The duck sauce is delicious of apple fruit notes. The vegetable springrolls are delicate & made homemade in house & are delicious, tender & in a delicate delicious flaky wrap full of delicate seasoned perfectly cabbage mostly. I called them to compliment & to say thank you for their great food & consistency of service however after saying that compliment, the woman hung up on me sadly before I could strongly suggest to please add thin sliver carrots & tiny broccoli floret bits to their delectable springrolls for nutricious delicious perfection. I do highly recommend patroning as overall their food is delicious & service consistently reliable. Enjoy !!!!!♥️“

“I come here every couple months when visiting, and they know how to do chinese takeout right. Their crab rangoons are some of the best (even better than some of the thai restaurants I like), the chicken fingers are always crispy and hot, and the chow fun noodles are always great. I was surprised with the lower rating but I guess you just can't make everyone happy.“

“We’ve lived in the greater Boston area for over a decade, and without question, Joyful Garden is one of the best Chinese restaurants we consistently return to. In fact, today, Lunar Chinese New Year, felt like the perfect time to finally write this review.

We came in to celebrate and once again were reminded why this place is so special. The food is outstanding, authentic, flavorful, and with an incredible variety that keeps us coming back year after year.

What truly sets Joyful Garden apart, though, is the people. The owner and manager always make us feel like family coming home. The team has clearly worked together for a long time, and that continuity shows in the warm, attentive service. Over the years, we’ve celebrated so many family milestones here, and it has become a meaningful part of our traditions.“

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

“What a great spot! Food was delightful, sat at the bar and ordered off the dinner specials and everything was wonderful. We had the Kung Pao Beef and the Chow Mein, both came with rice and 2 appetizers. Great apps, friendly bartenders, and a nice crowd. Can't wait to come back!“

“The best Chinese Restaurant. Awesome service, great company when you walk in, treated like family full of love and kindness 💜. Eager to get you started with a drink of your choice and great delicious food as it is prepared for you! No rush, just sit back chit-chat and enjoy the atmosphere. Lunch or dinner, this is where we go! Thank you, Ping!😊💖“

“Good cocktails and food“

“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.“

“Best Dumplings and Boba in the whole world“

“Excellent food, service and ambience, highly recommended!“

“Don’t believe the negative reviews!.. this places is amazing!… food was delicious, friendly staff and portions were huge. Not to many places make pork fried rice the way I like it but this place nailed it.. this is my first time at this place and will definitely be going back… Great Job!“

“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.“

“I moved to this area after being spoiled with the great Chinese restaurants in the Newton/Boston area and having lived in San Francisco for many years with their amazing Asian foods so I was a little skeptical of finding a good place here in Westwood. But this place not only met my expectations but far exceeded them. They do an amazing job with all the basics like lo mien, fried rice and dumplings and their food is consistently fresh and delicious. I’ve never been disappointed and I am definitely a regular. Thank you, folks.“

“This place was great but the atmosphere was a little messing the food was sorta slow but the wait was worth it they do delivery and pickup I ordered fried rice and some kind of chicken it was so good I couldn’t stop until my belly was too full to eat 😃😃😃😃😃😃it was awesome“

“2nd time coming to Shabu Lee. great experience.

There are many possibilities on food. I love hot pot and sushi and this place grants both. I was extremely impressed with their Sunburned Maki. It was superb, they roast the sushi to perfection and that provided a nice char flavor. It was the highlight of my dinner.

Hot pot was standard and a le carte. Great proteins but I blame myself not knowing which broths of theirs to pair with proteins to optimize flavor.

Price was favorable and affordable. So much so that I treated myself to Hot Sake to compliment my sushi experience.

Atmosphere was welcoming. The staff had pleasant personalties and smiled. The environment was calm, itseems they excel more in carry out then eat in as they were not too busy for a Sunday dinner.

Overall, a great experience. Can't wait to go back for Surburned Maki.“

“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!“

“Very good food, fair prices, and really fast. Not really a place to eat in at, but it’s my go to for take out. The combo is a great price, and you can add a small combo sized soup is only about $1 to add it to the combo meal. Definitely worth a try, very small “hidden” local Chinese food restaurant.“

“I’m a local, and I’ve been ordering from this takeout place for years. Every time I don’t feel like cooking, it’s my first choice. My son and I love their dumplings and boneless spare ribs. Maybe I’m just lucky, but they’ve never disappointed me so far!!!“
