39 Best Chinese Restaurants near Gladstone

“The BEST Asian restaurant in the Northland! The food is absolutely amazing—every dish we’ve tried has been outstanding. The sushi is fresh and delicious, and the attention to detail is top-notch. You have to try the crab wontons—they’re a must! We just had the Tokyo crispy chicken, and it was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Honestly, I haven’t had a single thing here that I didn’t love. Chris, the owner, always greets us with a warm smile, and he and his staff make you feel truly welcome every time. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and such a friendly atmosphere—Saki is hands down our favorite spot!“

“We have been going to Lotus Hot Pot since it opened. Anytime we crave hot pot we head that way all the way from Independence. Restaurant is always clean, service is great and food is delicious! Hannah always makes sure to come out and greet her guest and Lina gives amazing service with a smile. Love the new all you can eat menu, just the right amount of serving (not like other places) and when you need more just order more!“

“Most of the food is what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant in the area. But, they have some of the best crab rangoon I’ve ever had, plenty of filling and not too sweet like so many places seem to make them. The owner and staff are also some of the nicest people. My family goes often enough for them to know us and they have given my kids random samples of things they are trying out at their Boba shop next door.“

“I’ve been looking for a new Chinese place since my place has closed. Tao Tao IS my new place!!! The food is phenomenal!! Love “Mama” and Jennifer, the sweetest people ever! Thank you ladies! 🩷“

“Have had the pleasure of eating there 3 times so far. The food is fresh, delicious and memorable. Clean spotless atmosphere and highly recommend you try it. Carry out as well!“

“I don't live in Independence anymore, but even from the West Coast where Asian cuisine is supposed to be top notch, I still think about Golden Rice almost everyday. I love their chicken, and their green beans are so damn good that I forget how much I hated green beans as a kid. Like... I HATED green beans.

I'm visiting soon, and I'm going to make it a point to visit this time.“

“9.6.24
Drive through only. I appreciate that. This is probably the best Chinese food I've ever had. The orange chicken is top notch. The chicken is good quality, no gristle pieces that usually come in Chinese food. The rice is so flavorful, it's even a yellowish color like it's cooked in something. My new favorite spot.“

“Totally worth the drive from Smithville!! Best Pepper Steak EVER!! And the ChoCho Chicken, MMMMMMMM!!!!!!“

“Fantastic food. Very fresh. We went for an early dinner and there was no wait. Robot cat is super cute. I cant wait to go back“

“I have to say my family ordered tonight 5/8/2026 and it is the best “fast foodish” dinner I have ever had. Everyone in my family loved the food. We have been eating here for years and tonight was hands-down the best I’ve ever eaten there. Don’t get me wrong. The food’s always good quality but tonight there was just something about tonight‘s food. That was really really good. I had sweet and sour shrimp extra crispy and it was the best.“

“I’ve been coming here for years and it’s constantly been my favorite Asian food based buffet. It’s nothing fancy but always tasty, always clean and I’ve always had great service!“

“I stopped here on the way back to Iowa. Parking was a bit tight because I was in an RV, but I managed. You can't go in to eat. You can walk up or drive thru. I walked up of course. He quoted the food would be ready in 15 minutes, which seemed a bit long. But it was actually ready in about 10 minutes. The food was phenomenal. I ordered Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken. Both were fantastic. I highly recommend this place.“

“It was DELICIOUS. Seriously the best crab rangoons ive ever had. And its VERY fairly priced. The meals are big enough for 2 people to share and still have leftovers. I live in Arkansas but the next time I come back to KC I will be returning.“

“I ordered the chicken with vegetable right before closing. Very reasonable price and everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. I do believe I have found my new favorite restaurant and can't wait to bring my family and try more dishes.“

“Always great!“

“Always love stopping in here to pick food uo while I’m waiting for work to start. Love seeing familiar faces as well. They make mast things in house and I’m everything is always fresh and delicious. Been going to one biking location or another since I was a kid and it never disappoints!“

“Typical strip mall Chinese Restaurant as far as appearance goes; but the food is always hot, plentiful, well seasoned, well prepared, good value for your money. Great Hot and Sour Soup!! One of my favorites there. Great owners, always polite and always has her smile on! This is a long time Parkville staple. Thank you!“

“Best sushi I have found in all of KC, went to some recommended spots that were expensive, tiny portions, lack flavor and rice that was mush, always end up back at Me. Le's, I would eat here more but they take time off between lunch and dinner and my mid shift job has lunch at 2pm.“

“My favorite Kansas City Chinese restaurant since 2009! Excellent service, delicious food every time, wonderful people. We try to come here as often as we can when we’re in town. KC friends- if you’ve never been, go! 😌“

“First time here, good quality foods and large portions for fairly low dollars. We will return.“

“I love this place I've been coming here for a while to eat, the food is excellent, the service is excellent and the staff is friendly and attentive, and the price is excellent especially if your on a budget, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good buffet at a great price.“

“I’ve been in KC for 8 years now moved from Oregon but grew up in California where you get the best Chinese food ever! I was spoiled when I came here and ordered from MANY Chinese places that were all horrible! China Wok is now my go to for Chinese. Always fresh and full of flavor!! I was about to give up!“

“Wow! We have eaten here many times and been very delighted with the food. Today however was a different story. This is the first time we have ever ordered on a Sunday. Maybe the lower quality was because they were trying to use up food because they are closed tomorrow? We ordered general's chicken chicken lo mein and egg rolls. The egg rolls were obviously reheated in the microwave and so chewy that we could not even invite them. The chicken lo mein was awful. I guess the low main part was okay but the chicken tasted like chicken that had been in someone's refrigerator for three or four days and been reheated. Although the general's chicken the chicken was good, you could not even bite through the onions and the broccoli was hard as a rock. Because we have had good prior experiences I will try to order here again but maybe not on a sunday?“

“Been eating since I was 12 years old. This place has been a family favorite of ours for over a decade now ❤ Great tasting Chinese take out for those cozy weekends in. The prices are amazing too. I will keep on coming here for years to come!“

“I’ve been eating at this restaurant for as long as I can remember and the food is phenomenal. The staff are kind and polite. I have many fond memories of meals with my family here at this place when I was a child and now I have shared this place with my own family and they are hooked, too.“

“Food is great! Service is mediocre at best, almost makes you not want to order from there. Never a friendly smile when picking up food, spent over $80 and the owner tried to charge me for extra sweet and sour sauce while giving me one small cup for 5 meals.“

“Hands down the BEST Crab Rangoon you'll find anywhere!! Not bland at all!! And the fried rice is amazing! They actually give you extra broccoli if you ask! Sorry but everywhere else we've tried I've never received the extra broccoli when I ask! You won't regret ordering or eating in from here!“

“we love the pad Thai!“

“Their pork egg foo young is excellent. A single order feeds two people generously. Egg foo young is sort of a Chinese-American omelet made with eggs, vegetables (like bean sprouts, cabbage, and scallions), and a protein (such as pork, shrimp, or chicken). It's pan-fried into a patty or pancake and typically served with a savory, slightly sweet, and tangy brown gravy.“

“Highly recommended for people who prefer light diet. Dishes are low oil and low salt, healthy and fresh with original food taste. The fresh elegant environment is perfect for healthy meals. Well-matched dishes and gentle service win great favor.“

“First time there. Ordered pork lomein, it was decent, full of flavor and the fact it had broccoli was a plus. My only thing was it was the tenderloin style pork, and I prefer the regular sliced/strip meat. The portion size was very good, enough for at least 2 or 3 meals. Next time I will try the fried rice.“

“Amazing food, your choice of a fresh and delicious buffet; or choose your raw ingrediants and have the hibachi chef work his magic cooking your food and put on a great show; or choose from an interesting selection of sushi made fresh as you order and delivered to your table. Your hosts will make you feel like family, friendly and happy.“

“excellent food! Some of the best Chinese takeout I’ve had in this area. They have a different take on the pork fried rice. It’s not roast pork. They cook the pork differently, giving the rice a altogether improved flavor. I went basic with the chicken wings and they are to die for. This place is a hidden gem.“

“This place totally surprised us. It’s a little hole in the wall, but the food is seriously amazing. Ordering online was super easy, and they even have a rewards program where you earn free food. We spent a little over $50 and got a free 6-piece crab rangoon, which was awesome.

I got the general tso’s chicken and it was crispy and flavorful. The crab rangoons were some of the best I’ve ever had, and the lo mein was garlicky in the best way.The dinner combos are a great deal, around $10–$15 depending on substitutions or add-ons. You get a protein, rice (or small upcharge for lo mein), a spring roll, and a crab rangoon all in one. Everything was hot, fresh, and came out fast even though they were busy when we ordered.

The staff was nice and gave great service, which made a really good first impression. My only small complaint is that the dinner combo didn’t come with any veggies, so I’d recommend adding a veggie side. Not sure if other dishes come with them though.

Overall, this place was amazing and definitely deserves 5/5 stars. It was our first time trying it and we’ll for sure be back!“

“10/10 recommend! Great food and prices and open late“

“Most of the Hibachi/Chinese buffets I the KC metro are very good. Both KC Joy Woks are exceptional“

“I almost didn't swing by because of the ratings, but I had the absolute opposite experience of those people. The older gentleman at the counter was helpful. The food came out fast and hot, and was great! Better than I expected for a walk through Chinese restaurant. I may get it again while I'm in town.“

“I had an amazing experience at the Panda Express in Shoal Creek, Liberty. Vale and the entire team were incredibly attentive, asking thoughtful questions to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. The portions of the family size meals were very generous—perfect for sharing!

What stood out the most was seeing the team making everything fresh, which I truly appreciated. It added to the quality of the food and the overall experience.

Thank you, Vale and team, for going above and beyond to make my visit exceptional! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Food is very good. Area is clean. Could use a little outdoor improvement at the front of the building facing Noland RD to make it more appealing. Maybe some painting of bathroom stalls, etc. Other than that, recommended.“
