50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Maplewood

“I wanted to recognize Diana for the outstanding service she provides at Leeann Chin. She is always welcoming, attentive, and works hard to make sure customers have a positive experience. Every time I visit, she handles everything with professionalism and a great attitude, even when it's busy. Diana's dedication and friendly personality truly stand out and make a difference. Leeann Chin is lucky to have such a hardworking employee on their team!“

“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.“

“First time eating here...I am pleased with my selection! The wings were amazingly delicious, no lack in flavor! I will definitely have them again. The shrimp and broccoli also delicious. The cream puffs (Rangoon) could use a tad more of cream, however, overall this spot is definitely a go! They have a new friend in me!
I paused my meal to write this review 😉“

“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!“

“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’..“

“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.“

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

“Always EXCELLENT!!!“

“Really clean, ladies working there are so nice and it’s a chill spot to eat, not busy and they have a TV. Food was better than expected for a fast food place, not expecting the best food I’ve ever had. Used a coupon mailed to my house and will go again with a coupon but prob not pay full price.“

“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! 😁👏💓“

“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!!!❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Have been a long time customer since they were on the east side, now the new menu items are the best in MN. Tried the beef chow fun and double cooked pork, super tasty, love the spicy kick and peppercorn flavor. Will definitely try more again. Good to see you guys back. This new location is much closer to my house.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“I love this place! delicious AND affordable.“

“Fantastic “hole in the wall” Chinese restaurant for takeout. I’ve been searching for Chinese food like this for years. It reminds me of my childhood. Very reasonable prices, great flavor, and the staff is welcoming and friendly. I met a customer who had been going here for 40 years—since he was a young boy. That says a lot. I will definitely return!“

“My mom just moved to the area and we were trying to find a new Chinese place in the area. We gave No1 New China a shot and boy were we happy!
Very delicious food, they forgot 1 of our meals and called me to let me know (I was a bit frustrated, BUT I let my frustration go due to the fact that they were pretty busy)
I also love that they are MSG free!
We will definitely be back!
The little girl that was working the register was very sweet as well!“

“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.“

“Wong's Kitchen has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid! The kindness there never changes, and their chow mein? Still the BEST I’ve ever had — nothing else compares! It’s our go-to family dinner whenever we’re all together!🖤🤟“

“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!!“

“My wife and I have been looking for a new place to order Chinese from since all our other restaurants have closed. We both thought the fried rice and the lo mein was excellent and will order there again. My wife really liked the cream cheese wontons. I also liked the dish that had scallops and shrimp in it, everything seems very fresh.“

“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“

“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!“

“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! 😁😋❤“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place has been around along time. My parents use to order from here every Friday when I was growing up. Now I find myself ordering from here. The food is fantastic!! Even with delivery, the food arrives hot. If you’re looking for sweet cream cheese wontons, this is the place for you!! We always order the beef fried rice, sesame chicken, egg rolls, cream cheese wontons, teriyaki chicken and Mongolian beef.“

“i love eating here. my favorite buffet“

“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!�“

“Very similar, but different than Panda Express. Of the two I think I would rather have Panda becuase I feel they give just a little more food. I ran out of rice before I finished my Leeann plate whereas I usually have rice leftover at Panda. Leanne Chin is diet Panda Express.“

“I dont know many Chinese restaurants like this one these days with the awesome food! But Im giving the 4 star because I have been here several times over the past 6 months and it is not consistently awesome...id say it probably depends on whos making it or how long it has been waiting before being ordered. Either way, I recommend it!“

“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.“

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

“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. 😙🤌“

“The food was honestly so good. The service was great and lady behind the counter was so welcoming. I came here for some quick food and it was amazing. I genuinely was so shocked by the flavor of the food I was given. I would 100% come back here again. The amount of food we got too was really good. I got what I thought was enough food for two people but it was enough for 4. Again the lady behind the counter was great and she seemed so nice that before I even got my food I thought “wow I like this place already”. If you are in the area it’s worth trying.“

“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.“

“My favorite beef and broccoli. I live 30 mins away and ill still make the drive when I want my fix.

Chicken mei fun is good, Chicken egg rolls are good, bacon wrapped crab meat is good. jelly rolls are my favorite dessert. Ive yet to have a bad meal from them.

The only tiniest of complaints I have is if I order 2 large beef and broccoli for me and my girlfriend. They never give me 2 rice they just combine it to one big one.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great people and great food“

“because Cubfoods hires and stands behind people who abuse their customers.“

“This is my go-to fast food favorite, bar none! 90% of the time the food you want is already made and ready to eat. The other 10% is because it's lunch or dinner time or they came out with another new entree and it's already that popular. I don't mind either way because it's that delicious and such a nice staff/clean atmosphere.“

“very friendly staff and so many yummy choices.“

“This location is one of the busiest locations, but the staff does a really good job working together to get the food out, maintain customer service, and it is very clean. One suggestion that would improve the wait time for customers in-store is if the online orders did not funnel through the main line and instead funneled through a separate work station where a worker or manager could help with focusing just on getting the catering and online orders. This would help keep the line moving in-store as opposed to workers having to stop to do online orders in between customers. Looking at the “aka info” review that is likely what they saw happening with only two workers (1 cook, 1 up front) at that time. Also, that person’s account looks like they have a long history of going around purposely giving places bad reviews to either get free food or some kind of acknowledgment from google. The restaurants or businesses can flag the review from their end as fake or deceiving and request the removal of the review. It was a bit malicious to take photos of the employees and post them to google like that.“
