28 Best Chinese Restaurants near White Bear Lake

“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.“

“Best Chicken Fried Rice Since Leos in St paul. I also had sweet and sour chicken and lomein. They were good as well. large portions i think its fair. i can get enough Fried rice for 2 meals with a small for 8 bucks.
The cream cheese wontons are very good. The lady that helps me is very nice. i think she is the owner. she was very helpful my first time through. Id now vote this best Fried Rice in MN.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing service, quick and delish!“

“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’..“

“Always EXCELLENT!!!“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“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!“

“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!!!❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 wife and I tried this place years ago, and we did not enjoy the food at all. I literally couldn't even eat the leftovers. I noticed a lot of positive reviews from recent times, and we decided to give it another go, as we wanted Chinese. My gosh, I have never seen such a turn around before. Everything we got was fantastic, and it's easily the best Chinese food within 20 miles. Whatever changes you made, excellent job. Keep this level of quality, and you'll have customers for life.“

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

“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!“

“Just stopped by Skyway Grill, and not only was the food great, but the staff were incredibly kind to my kids. They even gave them a few pieces of chocolate while they waited for me to grab our food, which was such a thoughtful touch. ✨

Great food, genuinely friendly people, and an all-around welcoming vibe. I’d definitely recommend stopping by. Thank you for such a great experience!“

“I now live a few blocks from Wong's and have been meaning to check it out! Very glad I did. The Lo Mein is fresh and flavorful, the Beef Fried Rice had plenty of beef and didn't skimp out like some other spots. The wontons were fresh and hot, and the orange chicken was great! Ready exactly when they said it would be too. This is our new go to Chinese spot in the neighborhood🙂“

“Man!!!!!! I have to say with being from Washington DC this was the best Chinese I’ve had since leaving home. I had General Tso chicken with fried rice and spring rolls. DEFINITELY WORTH IT AND DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. will be my go to whenever I’m in town or passing by“

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

“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.“

“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!�“

“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 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.“

“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....👌“
