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.“

“Food is very good! good selection, ingredients are fresh, portion sizes are good. The menu doesn't have a lot of information on each dish, so you do have to ask for some of them, esp if you have a food allergy. There is a little language barrier as well. They presume you will use chop sticks, so you must ask for utensils which are plastic. the plates are paper plates, so it isn't fancy, but the food is good and service is relatively quick.
I had the vegetable Mala soup bowl. My wife had the wonton soup bowl. My mother had eggplant, and dunplings separate plates, with shared rice and scallion pancakes for the table. The Mala soup is quite spicey (Chili oil).
Parking is street parking in downtown area, so if you find the parking, pleasant downtown Brighton to walk through. Portion sizes were large and we took food home. I recommend for casual dining, not quite what I woild call fast food, but the layout and vibe feels that way.“

“Love this spot! Cozy environment and the food is top notch! Best salt & pepper squid I’ve ever had came from here - perfectly crispy outside and well seasoned! Soup dumplings are incredible and the Mongolian beef comes out on a piping hot stone plate. Would recommend this to anyone!“

“High quality of food and service“

“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. 🤗🍜“

“10/10 on all parts! Service was amazing, food was amazing! I got the braised pork belly with noodles and it was so freaking delicious 😋 the brown sugar milk tea was made perfectly as well! The food was made quickly and tasted fresh. The woman at the register, who also made the drinks and food, was so kind and lovely. Five stars!!!“

“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.“

“Love everything about this restaurant! Can't wait to come back to try the sushi boat and the steak tataki. Brandon was our server and he killed it. He gave us advices on what to try for our first time and kept checking on us to make sure we were ok. 5 stars rating! Will be back soon!“

“Solid authentic Chinese spot with good texture on their hand pulled noodles and dumpling wrappers. Food is cooked fresh to order and delicious. I’d come back again, their menu has a lot of variety and has so many things I want to try. Definitely gets busy with take out orders and a good number of tables occupied on weekends.“

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

“Enjoyed our impromptu dinner with girl gang of 7.
Freshly prepared food with authentic flavors.
The place was beautiful and had lovely vibes.
The portions were super huge . We ordered multiple dishes to try all flavors and were super impressed. Definitely recommend of you are in the area. There was a fried fish appetizer Sichuan style that was a clear winner 🏆. Free parking lot was added bonus“

“Emma and Maryna gave me really good customer service super friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish.
The food was just as good—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. You can tell they put effort into the quality, and it definitely shows.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Went to an escape room nearby and a friend wanted Chinese near us and checked on the maps and this was close by and had good reviews.

Just like the reviews said there is as paid parking lot right next to it and you may find free street parking around.

Quiet with plenty of seating and very authentic Chinese food, not the Americanized Chinese food. They also served us water right away and kept coming around to make sure our glasses were always topped up.

The friend who wanted Chinese asked the waiter for a shrimp recommendation and talked with the waiter about what he would like and when the food came it was exactly what he wanted. Everyone lived their dishes and the prices were very reasonable.

We even agreed that next time we do the escape room in the area, we are going back to eat there again.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food! Extremely friendly and helpful service, and the delivery driver was very nice and polite, they forgot my sauce for the egg foo young, I called and they had it delivered in about 5 minutes! Definitely my new go to place for Chinese in Arlington.“

“Dined in many times, never disappointed. They have the best customer service. Food is always amazing and portions are always generous. We didn't know they had a delivery option and got it for the first time today. Fast and same quality as dining in. Definitely recommend 👌“

“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.“

“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.“

“It’s about half an hour west of Boston Metro area, could be traffic, and in the middle of nowhere. I’s inside a mall with plenty of parking. Most importantly, the Dim Sums is really good and service is pretty attentive. Though the place is big, it could still be a long wait at peak hours. But they provide a pager to buzz you when your table is ready. So you can do some shopping while waiting for a table.“

“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.“

“Emma and Maryna gave me really good customer service super friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish.
The food was just as good—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. You can tell they put effort into the quality, and it definitely shows.“

“Mu Lan Taiwanese Restaurant is a Taiwanese restaurant in Waltham that focuses on traditional dishes, family-style portions, and bold flavors. The restaurant has a comfortable and casual atmosphere that works well for both smaller meals and larger group dinners. The menu has a wide range of options, including classic Taiwanese favorites and some dishes that are more familiar to people who enjoy Chinese cuisine, making it easy to order whether you are looking for something traditional or something more recognizable.

The food is the main reason to visit, especially the dishes that highlight Taiwanese flavors. The crispy chicken in chili sauce was one of the standout dishes because it had a good balance of texture and seasoning. The outside had a nice crispness while the sauce added a stronger flavor without overwhelming the dish. The salt and pepper pork chops were another highlight, with a satisfying crunch and the kind of savory flavor that makes it easy to keep reaching for another piece.

The duck dishes are also worth trying, especially if you are looking for something that feels more unique compared to standard Chinese takeout options. The scallion pancakes and dumplings are good choices for sharing, and the menu has plenty of dishes that work well for ordering family style. I liked that the portions were generous, which makes it easier to try multiple dishes with a group instead of everyone ordering separately.

The service was generally friendly and the food came out at a good pace during my visit. The restaurant can get busy, especially during peak dinner hours, but that also adds to the lively atmosphere. For larger groups, making a reservation is helpful because the space fills up quickly.

Overall, Mu Lan is a solid choice for Taiwanese food in the area. The combination of authentic flavors, large portions, and a wide menu makes it a place I would return to. I would focus on the traditional dishes rather than the more Americanized options because that is where the restaurant stands out the most.“

“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.“

“Egg rolls were fresh, hot, and sizable. Soup dumplings were full of flavor, and the sauce they give you to dip them in pairs extremely well. They were a little costlier ($15) than I’ve seen at some other establishments, but you get 7 generously-sized portions, and again, they are teeming with flavor. One other thing to note is that the egg rolls have meat and shrimp in them. It doesn’t explicitly say so on the menu, so just watch for that if you’re a vegetarian or have a shellfish allergy!!“

“New to the area and had this place recommended for Chinese food in the area. The Chinese restaurant near us where we lived before was very greasy and we eventually stopped going there. Because of that we were hopeful that Cathay Kitchen would be be an improvement. It certainly was as we found everything to be excellent. Looking forward to the lefttovers and we will happily order from here again.“

“As someone who has had the privilege of dining at some extraordinary Chinese and Japanese restaurants around the world, from Hong Kong to Tokyo to Manhattan, I can say without hesitation that this is the finest Chinese and Japanese food in all of Massachusetts. The ingredients are exceptional, the preparation is thoughtful, and the consistency is remarkable. Restaurants like this are rare.

We even brought our chef Tracy here one evening. She’s worked in several Michelin-starred kitchens and spent years cooking in private estates and luxury hotels. And she was completely blown away. She kept commenting on the quality of the fish and the balance of the dishes, which says a lot coming from someone who cooks professionally at that level.“

“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.“

“Food is fresh, hot and delicious! Service and presentation impeccable! Thank you for your kindness today! Thank you for the birthday ice cream: candle and cherry included, and for leading the guests with a Happy Birthday sing ! I've been there maybe 5 times to eat in and always have a pleasant experience and each time we do takeout delivery it comes promptly with kindness, hot, and delicious!!“

“Food is always hot and fresh, I went in because my sister had bought some food there and the chicken wings. What your typical Chinese chicken wings? It was like a fusion of American fried Chicken in Chinese chicken wings. Very good. Very tasty. So I wanted a seafood fried rice which I didn't see on the menu but I asked do they have it? The woman at the front desk was like thought about it for a minute and said you want all seafood in it and I said yes. She was like every I said everything that comes in fried rice but just all the seafood and she made it for me and I was so thankful and when it came out it was hot and it was fresh and it was very delicious. I recommend that to anyone who goes there and I continue to go there even though it's like a half hour from where I live which is not too bad but for good food I will travel 😁“

“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.“

“I have to say, PuPu has come a long way. For a few years the quality went way down. I would just go to Tahiti even though it was farther away. I would say now how the turntables turn. I think Tahiti is gross now, and PuPu has went above and beyond. Check out my pfp. The food has full rich Chinese flavors, and the portions are huge! After the 3 of us finished, we had enough food leftover for 2 more full meals for us. And we all know leftover Chinese food is the best. Keep it up, Buddy!!“

“I got take-out that was ordered online. The food was good, but the portions were small for the price. Spicy tuna roll - 6 smallish pieces and a shrimp tempura roll - 5 pieces. After tax it was almost $18. So I liked the food, but felt it was expensive for the portions.“

“Good cocktails and food“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“We’ve been going to this Chinese food place for years. The reason is it’s higher quality that most other places around the food is quick to come out and the service is always great. They have a bathroom and it is accessible. The parking lot is huge and I’ve never seen it full so you have plenty of places to park you can enter through two roads. So it’s a quick In-N-Out. I’ve gotta say in all the years going there. I don’t think they’ve ever messed up my order although funny story back in the day when we went there years ago to eat inside which we used to do a lot I was cut off not from drinking alcohol but from drinking soda it’s a funny story that we still remember till this day. The guy was worried about my health and said three sodas is too much for you even back then when it was by the can and I was paying for each individual drink, but even eating inside is nice. They’ve always been very nice and accommodating.“

“Best Dumplings and Boba in the whole world“
