34 Best Chinese Restaurants near Circle Pines

“Very friendly and good food. To go only right now but definitely worth the trip!!“

“This is a local, family-run shop. The food selection caters to the American palette, but there's plenty on the menu and it all tastes fresh. Portions are generous and inexpensive. If you want *really* spicy food, you need to ask for it.“

“My husband and I were in the area so we decided to stop in. We were on a time crunch so we ordered some easy stuff such as finger foods and fried rice. I was in the mood for something beefy but wasn't really in the mood for pho or anything soupy so I ordered the beef bulgogi instead. The food took a while to be served but the server was pretty cool so we didn't mind. When we got our food, the finger food was pretty good. The spicy fried chicken we ordered was good. The fried rice was bland. The bulgogi, however was disappointing. Instead of using a type of meat with some marble in it, they used the eye round, the leanest part of the cow, and grilled it up. I get it. It's already sliced thinly for pho but the eye round pieces that was used was pretty thick. The whole thing was dry and chewy. There was barely any sauce glazed over the meat. Please don't be cheap. If you're going to put a certain dish on your menu, serve it properly with the correct type of meat. If you don't want to use a more expensive cut such as ribeye, which is the correct section of beef to use, then go with the chuck meat. We hear good things about the sushi so maybe next time we'll stop in for that.“

“Definitely a repeat place, to the point that we “celebrate” birthdays there. Tea is good and they have good chicken feet.“

“The service is prompt and friendly. The food is equally awesome. They just added Spring Rolls to their menu and they are the best I’ve had. Add their perfect peanut sauce and I’m putting this place on my ‘must go to’..“

“Great place for take-out. The food is great and is so plentiful. Large portions. The service is always so kind when we call. Once we had to call and add more onto our order and the staff were so kind about it, no problems. We really enjoy you!“

“Great food“

“Great food, highly recommend Rocky’s platter and sticky rice! Hmong sausage is also delicious!“

“Awesome food great prices great service and when delivered super fast and polite. I either eat in or order at least once a week. Try the Pad Thai. And, surprise, their wild wings are fantastic“

“The best Chinese restaurant in Roseville Mn. Every time I go there I feel welcomed and appreciated. Their food is the best. Don’t miss the lunch menu, best deal in town. I recommend their Singapore noodles. Spicy goodness. The cream puff wontons are also to die for and highly recommended. What are you waiting for, get in your car now and get the best American Chinese Cuisine in the city.“

“Pretty sure this restaurant is run and owned by Helen and Martin, when they had The China Restsurant in St. Cloud, MN previously, and it was my absolute favorite St. Cloud restaurant. What a loss to our community when they left..!! So glad to have found them again. Their Hot and Sour Soup is absolutely to Die for. I can't wait to drive to Blaine and get a big Take-out order to tide me over for several days. Really looking forward to it..!!“

“Always EXCELLENT!!!“

“I’ve lived in the area for years and decided to give Szechuan a try tonight. I ordered takeout and was happily surprised by the large portions. The sesame chicken is delicious and I would have it again! I definitely will be going back and recommending Szechuan to friends and family.“

“The food was ordered through DoorDash but came piping hot and was wrapped nicely. I loved the vegetable lomein, the fried rice was delicious as well, along with the wontons (and I did order two pork egg rolls on the side not pictured.) I loved all of it! My husband and I can’t seem to find similar food close to our China Restaurant in Roseville but this is much closer to home and tasted similar in my opinion. YUM. Get it. I’ll def order again! I’m picky when it comes to Chinese food but this was so close to what I’m used to ordering for years and years!! I’d order everything listed again. Check them out.“

“My FAVORITE Chinese restaurant around- for miles - the Chef is a Master! She gets meals wok'd up real quick, is truly delectable and amazingly she still charges a fair & reasonable price- proprietor is so kind and personable to regulars as well“

“welcome all age, nice place for graduation/birthday party“

“They never miss, have not had one bad experience here!!!“

“best Chinese food I have had in a long time! I had the walnut shrimp best I have ever had. a bit pricey on the drinks but the food made up for it. We will go back for sure!“

“the manager is just as rude as he was when I worked there years ago. he was VERY rude to my dad when he came in tonight and im upset my dad didn't let me go in there and say something. I don't care if it's busy and you are overwhelmed, I worked there for years and understand the stress, but you don't tell a customer you can't do something when you absolutely can, and it wasn't even your order you were doing so you should have kept your bald head back in the kitchen with your nasty tone to yourself. Dee is one of the worst managers ever, besides Nick and Terry. Dawn needs to put Dee through some kind of managment kindness courses.“

“5 spice is my favorite Asian restaurant in the area. Most of the food is average fare, but high quality ingredients. The egg rolls are unique and a treat! They are the best I've had. The fried rice is the good kind. Compared to other places, it's far more flavorful.“

“Great food, excellent service, loved the family style serving with metal serving spoons! Not sure but I kind of have a feeling, that we were served by the owner? she is a great dynamo of a personality! Szechuan beef and kung pao chicken.“

“I'm not a sushi fan, so I got shrimp pad thai, which was excellent. "Medium" spice was enough for me. My dad got a custom sushi roll that was made perfectly to order, which he really loved. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable. We'll be back!“

“Ever since the remodel this location hasn't given me any issue. My food is always ready on time, the staff is very polite and everything tastes good. If you ever had issues at this location in the past, I highly recommend giving it another shot.“

“Amazing service, quick and delish!“

“Great staff...Beautiful food :)“

“Their thai boat for me wasn't good they tasted like package noodles. What was great and probably the best in MN to me is their raw larb. They use real pepper, not dry pepper, not chili flakes, real authentic cayenne pepper. 1 out of 5 places I've been to will use real pepper and not just that, they put mint leaves and lemon grass also. A lot of places just throw in cilantro and green onion, maybe red onion TOO. Their lao papaya is good, full of flavor and spice if you ask for it. I would say 4.5/5 overall as my main interest was their thai boat which wasn't for me. Service was great too.“

“Had lunch today at the buffet. The food was fresh and hot! lots of choices, including pizza and chicken nuggets for the kitties. the food was very good! our bill came to 35.33 for three adult buffets. we all did drink water so I'm not sure if beverages are included. the service was good too! I would definitely go back and I would definitely recommend it 😀“

“decent Chinese food, nice lady behind the counter. As a white guy, I think the bad reviews for this place are just snobby rich white people from white bear lake who cant accept when their food is more flavorful than a pb&j. “This place is different than it was in the 80’s!” Yeah dude? Everything is? Why would you expect the exact same service from a place after 4 decades? Some of y’all need to get off your high horse and enjoy an eggroll“

“Parents just moved to this neighborhood 9 mos ago and we were visiting from Los Angeles over the Holiday Wkn in Dec. We were eating way too much heavy foods that week and needed some medicine. Some PHO 🍜 😌

We loved: the rare steak & brisket pho, eggrolls/springrolls, (saw chicken wings delivered to a table that 👀 delicious-we didn’t order since we had a lot of food already)
Service, atmosphere was excellent and feels like you’re eating in a family home.

Our only critique is that the THAI TEA needs to have less milk and more tea. The more orange the better! 🙏🏾🙌🏾TYSM!- we will back again for our next visit to MN!“

“We placed an order for take out, and it’s by far the best Chinese food around. I have been searching for really good fried rice and it is amazing here! So is the General Tao’s Chicken! And the Orange Chicken! We will definitely be coming back!! The staff is so friendly too!!! Please give them a chance! You won’t regret it!“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at LEEANN CHIN, thanks to the excellent service provided by Kyle Bear, the general manager. Kyle was exceptionally kind and attentive throughout my visit, making sure everything went smoothly. It was clear that he genuinely cares about ensuring a pleasant experience for customers like me. Kudos to Kyle and the entire team for their dedication to great service! Will definitely be back!“

“Great price for basic American-style Chinese food. Lunch buffet for $10.85 in 2026 is fantastic. Solid food, a bit on the mild side - very friendly staff. Not exactly a high-class place or 5-star ambiance by any means, but I have no complaints at that price point. If it was, say, $18 per person or something, that would be a totally different situation but it’s not claiming to be that, and it’s great for what it is and I’m glad they’re here! The food is always hot, which is not always the case even at some higher-priced places. I will be back.“

“This is my new chinese spot. It's definitely worth the money for. The beef brisket is literally to die for. It is so tender and basically melts in your mouth. The beef congee is so simple but delicious. The salt & pepper pig feet delicious, as well as the pepper getting a nice kick. The soft shell crab was amazing, it's was amazing they some how had it during the outside the season. This is possibly my opinion thr best chinese restaurant in the state of Minnesota.“

“I just order from here the 1st time and the food was wonderful I order Egg Fu Yung , egg rolls and the great almond cookies Thanks“
