50 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Kansas City

“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! 😌“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“From the moment I stepped through the door until the moment I left, the entire dining experience was exceptional. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the host, who promptly seated me without delay, setting the tone for the attentive and friendly service I would receive throughout the evening.

My server, Cliff, went above and beyond to make the evening memorable. He was not only attentive but also extremely knowledgeable about the menu. When it came to choosing wine, he listened carefully to my preferences and offered several excellent options that perfectly suited my taste, demonstrating his expertise and genuine care for the dining experience.

When the food arrived, it was clear that great attention had been paid to the quality and presentation. Every dish was served fresh, steaming hot, and bursting with flavor. Each bite was delicious, exceeding my expectations. Additionally, the menu itself was thoughtfully designed—it was concise and easy to read, which I appreciated because it made choosing my meal straightforward and enjoyable. Each menu item clearly outlined its ingredients and accompaniments, eliminating any guesswork.

Although my overall experience was fantastic, I do wish the restaurant offered a broader selection of sushi dishes, as their limited sushi options left me wanting more. Nevertheless, the exceptional service, especially from Cliff, and the delicious food have certainly ensured that I will return again. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience.“

“This place is no longer a sit down eat in restaurant. I don't mind since we stop on the way home from work and don't eat until later since we usually stop in between 3:30-5 and live 25 minutes south. We have quite a few chores to do before we can actually sit down to eat but when we do, our food is usually still pretty hot and is always tasty.
My husband gets the General Tso All Day Combo and I usually get the Sweet and Sour Chicken. He likes it Hot so we request more spice on his already spicy General Tso dish and he's always happy with what he gets.“

“Super big portions, me and my mom were starving and neither of us finished our food. Great deal for the price and the employees were great considering the card machine was broken. We loved it and are defintely coming back for the big portions, great peices for the amount of food, and amazing service“

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

“This is a reliable place for tasty take out Chinese food. The Crab Rangoon had more filling than most places and was very good as well as their Egg Drop Soup. The pork fried rice was very good as well. The beef and broccoli did not get rave reviews from the family...one said Hy-Vee's Chinese beef and broccoli tastes the same.“

“What do I love this Chinese restaurant?. Their food is the best Chinese I have tried in Kansas City, I just try a new one shrimps Pa Thai all you have to do is squeeze de lemon juice all over the food and mixed alone with the crunchy peanuts and enjoy it. We have tried around 10 o more items from the menu and we liked all of them.“

“I wish they would thank their customers and not just our nice corporations But i do enjoy eating all the great food“

“Food was pretty decent! Good flavor. But what was best about our experience getting food here was that when my mother left her wallet sitting somewhere in the restaurant while waiting for our food, she got distracted and forgot it! She didn’t even realize until way late at night after close. Thankfully, whoever was working that evening noticed the wallet and put it away for safekeeping and my mother was able to get it back the following morning. She was extremely grateful and we admire the honesty and integrity of the employee and business! So glad they noticed the wallet and are clearly paying attention to their restaurant.“

“I just finished my first meal from this establishment, and everything was excellent! The egg drop soup was hot with lots of egg white, the sauce on the chicken broccoli was delicious, and the spring rolls were phenomenal. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at China Star, and it was hands-down one of the best Chinese food experiences I've had in a long time. The menu had a great variety of classic dishes and regional specialties, and everything we ordered was packed with flavor Highly recommend if you're craving real Chinese food made with care and authenticity!“

“fantastic food. always great service. nice atmosphere. the price for the food can't be beat, and they will make your food spicier if you ask. patrons always smiling. hands down the best Chinese food.here. the honey walnut shrimp.is out of this world good, as well as thier curry shrimp.“

“we love the pad Thai!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Great quick and tasty Chinese food with excellent lunch specials. I usually call ahead and place my order and they will get it done in 15 minutes. They have a variety of food options you can choose. It is very convenient and you may also dine in, but it is a small place.“

“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.“

“We just had my son’s 14th birthday dinner here. All the food was great and the service was excellent. Our cute waitress Kylie made the night by bringing my son a birthday cookie with a candle and sang happy birthday to him all by herself it made our night. Thank you“

“Wow. Today was our first visit to China Star and we will most definitely be back. The egg drop soup was delicious, as were the egg rolls, and my shrimp lo mein was flavored nicely and the shrimp was done perfectly. Everything tasted so fresh.“

“Nice service and plenty of food. The food is awesome too!“

“highly recommend, friendly service, fast service. food came hot, and very tasty.“

“I love this place!! We usually order lunch, but we stopped for dinner on this day. The food is always freshly cooked! The service is always great and the staff is super friendly! My go to is their Mongolian beef! It never disappoints! I also love their spring rolls!“

“Being new to Mission, I've tried 4 dishes there now and am very satisfied. The service is very fast, the prices are accurate to the website and take out menu, the food is very hot and delicious and the servings are generous. Pricing is a bit lower than other Chinese takeout places, too.The steamed dumplings are great, General Tsos is not too sweet or overly sauced, the garlic sauce is perfection, and the Singapore chow Mei fun was soo good. I definitely recommend.I didn't care for the chicken fried rice (bland and plain) or the crab rangoon ( had a very sour taste, like spoiled milk and no sweetness).“

“They make the best Kung Pao Chicken. It is always good with just the right amount of spice.“

“This is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants! The dine-in experience is always fresh and hot, with generous portions at excellent prices. The service is top-notch, and the scallops are impressive—large and perfectly cooked, not the small ones you find elsewhere. Highly recommend!“

“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?“

“Great prices. Amazing prices. Average to good food. Every once in awhile you will have to deal with a weird inconvenience like someone is buying an artificial Christmas tree out back and that delays things ten minutes or three is a delivery truck literally blocking in every single car in the parking lot. Otherwise it's probably the best priced Chinese food in Independence.“

“Walked in to grab a take-out order for lunch. Had a good experience. I ordered fried shrimp, spring rolls, and crab rangoon. It took 10 minutes, very quick service, which was perfect because I had to get back to work. The spring rolls came with 4, 6 crab rangoon, and 8 pieces of fried shrimp, which by the way, happens to be awesome with sweet and sour sauce!

Everything was fresh, nicely packaged, and the young lady gave me 6 fortune cookies……I didn’t have to ask more; that was dope, I almost always want more than one.

Overall experience 5 stars, whenever I’m in the mood for Chinese cuisine and I’m in the area, I will definitely visit here.“

“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.“

“Food and service was amazing for what me and my wife got they were also willing to give her a different dish she forgot to tell them she didn't want vegetables with no arguing they were quick to change music was loud hard to hear over it and also the setting was nice

Parking: Getting a parking space is easy backing out and driving to the street is a little more difficult when parking lot is full“

“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!“

“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.“

“I like the food. Wait is about 5-10 minutes for me but it depends. I got the large shrimp fried rice and small orange chicken with fried rice. Good portion for the price and overall would go again.

Vegetarian options: I saw a healthy section at the bottom of the menu.“

“I loved this spot years ago when I worked downtown. Decided to revisit recently due to craving good Chinese food. They did not disappoint. Still hands down the best seasoned rice that I have had in KC. Workers are eager to please. I love it here, I like my rice extra spicy with extra onion. 🔥 Inside pretty small but they have take out and delivery. Keep this place alive, a great little hidden gem!“

“I will say traveling through during Rush hour traffic in a city bigger than I've seen was quite an experience!

I will say it was so worth the drive though! The food was enough portions to take to work the next day and Tony our waiter gave us the most compassionate, comfortable and engaging experience!

We didn't have to ask for anything and he encouraged us to try new things without being pushy! The kindness and welcoming atmosphere was just what I needed!

I will be back rush hour traffic or not! Thank you Tony for an incredible experience!!!“

“Absolutely love Hunan Garden! The portions are generous, and they’re super flexible with special requests. As someone with food allergies, I really appreciate how accommodating they are. And as an Asian person, I can confidently say their flavor is the best in the area — authentic, balanced, and consistently delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Always great!“

“I’m very picky about where I eat and I can honestly say this place is so yummy and now my favorite Chinese food spot! The orange chicken is to die for , the lo mein is so delicious and not mushy nice flavoring, and the crab rangoons are the best I have had in years. They have a sweet and savory taste to them, very tasty.“

“I can’t say I have ever had a bad experience at Mr. Le’s. I honestly never liked any other sushi or pho from another place. Love the atmosphere and always feel so welcome walking in But ever since they have had new ownership I’ve been disappointed. Hours have been cut and now they stop orders 30min before close?“

“Was our first time, a great new experience..place was clean and cooking your own food, kinda like a Fondue. The different types of was interesting and fun to cook..lots of options..We will definitely be going back !! I don't understand the the rating..We give a 5 Stars !!....“

“It was great, but wish they would keep up with the demand for the egg rolls and crab rangoon, please keep that end of the buffet filled.“

“Singapore Noodles... one of the best things there. I order my food and asked how much was told $9 & change and actually paid $11. Should have said $11 instead of $9. Not the best Chinese restaurant. Combination fried rice is not great at all onions are diced too big.“

“Some of the best Chinese food in Kansas City. Her shrimp, unlike many other Chinese spots is delicious. Big shrimp not white puny shrimps that taste over cooked. And her fried rice is unmatched . Idk what she does to make it soo good. Her lo mein is top tier as well. The only Chinese food spot I go to .“

“We had a HUGE Order…. It was correct and delicious. Served with a smile!“

“Food- the food they have is chinese and probably the best tasting chinese i’ve had.
Service- service was great checked up on multiple times and very kind
Atmosphere- Very clean and open alp the chairs/seats are in well condition as well as the light shades which look great!
Julie was great!“

“I had the kung pao chicken and my husband had chicken lo mein and both were really delicious! Delivery was very fast and courteous

Vegetarian options: My kung pai chicken had lots of veggies you could get without the chicken“

“Aloha Chopstix is a hidden gem near KU Med Center! We were blown away by their Ma La Crispy Chicken. The perfectly cooked, boneless chicken with grilled jalapeños is a flavor explosion. It's a generous portion, with a satisfying crispy crunch in every bite. (The chicken is not breaded.) The crispy exterior and tender chicken, combined with the heat of the jalapeños, create an unforgettable flavor profile. It's a generous portion that easily feeds our whole family. (It's not that spicy!) While it's a bit pricier, it easily feeds our whole family.

Their lunch specials are fantastic value, with huge entrees and a choice of egg rolls or crab rangoons. The Szechuan Chicken is a family favorite, and the Cashew Chicken has a delightful smoky taste. The lunch menu offers a variety of dishes, with some standout favorites and others that didn't quite hit the mark.

The only downside is that we don't live closer! This place is our go-to for fast, delicious Chinese takeout.“
