50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Maplewood

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Good food and good atmosphere came from Washington DC. Love this area and now this buffet“

“The food there at this restaurant tasted like every home made food. But the customer service is really good here. I love the customer service here more than the food though. The staffs are really nice people. 🥰“

“The pho is out of this world, and the owner and staff are incredibly friendly. They take care of you and make you feel like friends and family. Can't recommend Duc's enough!“

“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.“

“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’..“

“Delicious and very hot when you get it...love that The woman who takes my order...incredibly kind and fun to watch...she should be on tv or movies! 😁👏💓“

“Fantastic Place!! Roger and Candy do a Great job. Quick, Delicious, and Affordable. Takey Outy or Eaty Innee.“

“Always EXCELLENT!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience in St. Paul, Peking Garden is the place to be! The atmosphere inside is absolutely incredible — warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated to give you that authentic Chinese ambiance. Whether you're enjoying a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, you'll feel right at home. The staff here is nothing short of superb — courteous, professional, and genuinely attentive to every guest. They make you feel appreciated and valued from the moment you walk in until the last bite of your meal. In a time where many restaurants seem to give less for more, Peking Garden truly delivers. The portions are generous, and the food is authentic, flavorful, and consistently satisfying. You get your money’s worth and then some, with dishes that never disappoint. Plus, they cater private events and have a private party room, making it a perfect spot for family gatherings or celebrations. There's truly something for everyone, making it a fantastic choice for families, couples, or groups of friends. I genuinely wish there was a way to give more than five stars because this place deserves it. If you're in the Twin Cities, Peking Garden is an absolute must-visit! You won't be disappointed.“

“We came to order some take out. It wasn't busy so we got in and had our order taken right away. The fried rice was good, chow fun was okay but not too bland. The chicken wings was bland, not much flavor. They are pretty affordable, and convenient.“

“Food was average at best. Definitely a family owned restaurant as I was helped by a sweet child who was happy and eager to answer all my questions. I imagine it was her mother standing next to her working on another order listening to our conversation. She smiled and answered all my questions so I could place my order for what I was looking for. Service was excellent“

“I went here one time after I was lifting. It was a nice small local place in downtown North St. Paul. The wait can be pretty long, but the cooks are working hard to make the best meals. The House Fried Rice and Chicken Lo Mein are my favorites, but I do hope to try the Beef Lo Mein on my next visit. Highly suggest coming here, and I'm definitely planning on coming back someday“

“good food large portions says they have dine-in but it's only take out or delivery but very good food“

“I’ve been sick for almost a week and as I started to get my appetite back I wanted Chinese food. We usually order from Ducs in Woodbury but wanted to try something new. We ordered Cream Cheese Puffs, Orange Chicken, Chicken LoMein and Pork Fried Rice. I would definitely order from here again.“

“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“

“I love this place! delicious AND affordable.“

“I love Tea House St Paul. So glad I live 5 minutes away. Even during Covid I’d go get take-out from them. Best Fried Rice in the Twin Cities!!!❤️“

“The staff and cook crew were great! I ordered the chicken Pho and it was excellent. I plan to return to try more menu choices.“

“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!“

“Phenomenal! Best hot, fresh meal in awhile. Had the Chefs Choice Beef & Shrimp. Excellent, qualiity, savory!! Couldn't put it down. Fried rice was quality with green onions, needed a littlespice though. Also ordered the Szcheuan Wings. Excellent, so good!! Asked for spicy wings, it wasn't spicy enough, probably missed that step.
Wall menu didn't match handheld menu. Service was personable & helpful. Ill be back!!“

“Shout out the all the employees working today 02/5/26. 5 starts to all of you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. They were friendly, helpful, and kept things running smoothly. I’ll definitely be coming back again and recommend it over .. cough ..cough panda across the street“

“Wong's Kitchen is a hidden gem in St. Paul. Nothing compares to the service and food. Egg rolls are massive with flavor and orange chicken is never dried out and has a good amount of sauce unlike other spots we've tried in St. Paul. Even though we've moved out of state when we come back to Minnesota we grab Wong's Kitchen and the owner still remembers us. Hard to beat that type of customer service.“

“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.“

“Awesome service, good food and overall a fun place. Large menu and also have a lot of Gluten Free items and are indicated on main menu. Will definitely go back! So many more dishes I want to try!“

“I absolutely love this place! It’s our go to for nights I don’t want to cook! Extremely friendly service- they’ve gotten to know me & remember me so that makes me feel good!! Their food is delicious & I love supporting local business!“

“My favorite place to eat in Woodbury. My family and I have been eating here for over 20 years and it never disappoints. The food here is delicious, flavorful, and just so comforting. Everything here is made with love and care. I hope this place sticks around for another 50 years!!!“

“Cherry and chef are the best people! Great customer service and they will treat you with respect and kindness! The food is amazing I am a regular from Leo’s chow mein before they relocated here! My family and I have had their food for 8+ years!“

“Super quick service. Everything looked amazing. What people are saying about the orange chicken is true. It is very, very crispy. If you don't like it with crisp fried batter, you may not enjoy it, but it is still good. Orange sauce is perfectly sweet and tangy. Fried rice, cream cheese wonton, spring roll were all good as well. I would try a different chicken dish next time.“

“The food is always superb they're always polite and ready to serve and when I say superb I mean delicious there's nothing I've ever tasted from here that I didn't like. If you get a chance check them out authentic and it will warm your soul!“

“We have been regulars for over 5 years and absolutely LOVE this place. The sesame chicken, PHO, spring rolls, won tons and pad thai always come out perfect. So so good and reasonably priced!“

“Leann Chin in Woodbury is one of my favorite spots to grab meals for the whole family. The food is fresh, flavorful, and always hits the spot. It even brings me back to when I first had Leann Chin at the restaurant years ago—those flavors still carry the same spark of comfort and nostalgia today. The service is quick and friendly, and the restaurant is always clean and welcoming. Perfect for an easy family dinner or takeout night. Highly recommend!“

“This is a new restaurant that opened in Inver Grove Heights 2 months ago. The owners have previously owned other well-known Japanese restaurants and have many years of experience. Upon stepping inside the restaurant, you are greeted with warm, friendly, and hospitable staff. Great traditional cute Japanese ambiance. The quality and portions of the food are great with varieties of dishes like sushi, ramen, hibachi and more. I will definitely be going back soon as I really like this place and would strongly suggest everyone to try! 😁😋❤“

“My 1st time in there today for the buffet, also 1st people in. Asked to view the buffet...no problem. I immediately knew it was what I was looking for! It had been so long! My son was enjoying the food too. His 1st time as well. I give it a 4 stars +. a bit disappointed there was no egg foo yong? Because I liked it so well I will be going back, and I'd even go alone! waitress was great, prompt with refills or extras..napkins etc...very kind. Food was fresh as far as I could tell, taste was great! Try for being my kind of Chinese food! Ask what Ho Ho means....👌“

“i love eating here. my favorite buffet“

“It's not a dine-in restaurant but definitely I've gone here for take out and when I lived close by in Maplewood I'd have Mings deliver. But now I'm way out in farm country by Inwood Ave off 15th Avenue N St Paul so it's farmland scenery and swamp band WiFi and I wish Ming's could deliver but the delivery guy might get lost 😁 now I've never ordered with Uber Eats but I've seen pick up for Uber Eats there. It's a great place for Asian cuisine.“

“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've been going here (well actually began eating at the original location next door) for over 25 years! It is my very favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the world! So sad to see it close! We have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The family has always been so kind. Mai Village you will be greatly missed!�“

“Great people and great food“

“They really give you a generous portions when dishing up food. Many times we can actually get two meals from the portions. The kids behind the counter are very friendly. Always glad to help you. It's nice to be treated kindly with a smile...“

“Gone here for 15 years. I liked the larger cut onions they cook better and look better with the green peppers. I doubt there is a good steak anything anywhere. It’s a little grissly but the steak is good. Love the fried rice, chicken is good. I’m not a fan of the dudes at a register assuming one didn’t undercharge me 20.12 one day. I seen a cook twice in that time. Very good food. Fries wontons amazing. If the food were free I’d never be able to afford it. Always get food for a couple days“

“I think the bad reviews are from people coming in with the wrong expectations. This place is essentially a Panda Express. Most of the food is pre-made and sitting behind a glass window. It's super quick, pretty cheap, and the food tastes fine.“

“Been here a few times, and everytime the food has been hot and fresh. Of course there always seems to have a line, and it is always tempting to go back. Of course the sweet and sour chicken, and coconut shrimp always hit the spot. Along with some cream cheese wontons to go with my meal.“

“Quick and fast Chinese. Don't take offense if the person taking your order is short and precise. They are running well oiled machine to it's maximum power and cannot deal with the pleasantries. Don't get me wrong they say thank you and they have never been disrespectful to me. They are #1 Chinese spot in WSP. Don't forget the cream cheese wontons and the double cooked pork. 😙🤌“

“Team was great, but Delores/Dolores helped me out and she was great. Her energy was and customer service was amazing and she gave me suggestions that I really enjoyed. Very patient, and very kind! I typically don’t leave reviews but I think she deserves a spotlight and a raise :)“

“great food, been coming here for years and will for Manny more!! I most definitely recommend everyone should try!!“

“This place was fire during the pandemic! Their shrimp pad Thai level 7 with extra shrimp was so delicious it reminded me of a place from my home state. Egg rolls were also extremely delicious. I don’t live super close but when this place popped up on my screen and reminded me, I’ve got to drive over and get some takeout. If others say it’s not bomb, they are lying!“

“very friendly staff and so many yummy choices.“
