32 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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!❤️“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“My name is Mark Jay

I have been a customer of Amian Restaurant since they opened. I have been a customer through ownership changes and I have nothing but GREAT REVIEWS and RECOMMENDATIONS for this Restaurant , the Ownership, and the wait staff!!

ALL of the Owners & ALL OF THE WAIT STAFF have been nothing but friendly and gracious even when they are swamped.
I have eaten lunch, and dinner here more times than I can remember, I have picked up food and brought it to my home or to other gatherings, the food has always been very good.

I have taken friends that are Chinese here and they also enjoyed the food and have become regular customers. I often take business associates to this restaurant for lunch meetings.

On one visit that I had take out, they forgot the white rice, when I called about it, they offered to bring it to my home, I declined the offer and they made up for it on my next visit.

I often talk with the staff when they have time and they are extremely friendly, always concerned about making sure the atmosphere is pleasant and the food is what I wanted !!

I can not say enough good things about this restaurant and encourage you to try it out, I am sure you will enjoy it as much as my family, friends and business colleges do !!

I will be bringing food home to my family tonight !!

The menu is packed full of various Chinese and American dishes, everyone that I have tried, and I have tried many, many, of them are very good.“

“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!“

“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 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....👌“

“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 😉“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Good food. Low price. Fast service.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!�“

“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“
