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.“

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

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This was only the second time I have been here, and the only complaint I have was our server this time, he was not remotely friendly, unprofessional in how he handled items on our table. He reached across us with out request or apologies. I watched he talked to another table through a yawn and reach to our table while working another with customers. My wife left a note. Both of our mothers were waitresses, and my grandparents owned restaurants.. and even at a simple diner this would not have been acceptable..

The relatively high markes is because after 2 visits, this was the only issue.“

“I absolutely love the General Tso's Tofu. Very crispy and a nice sweet and spicy sauce. It's the best I've found in the area.

The staff have always been nice and friendly when I come to pick up my food. I haven't eaten inside, but I'm sure it would be just as good!

Also, pricing is good! The General Tso's Tofu came out to about $11, and got me several meals worth of food! Much better than a lot of fast food.“

“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’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!“

“This was a pleasant surprise. As most of you know with the smaller restaurants like this quality can sometimes be questionable, but this restaurant is absolutely amazing. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh the restaurant is clean and hospitable. I had the Mongolian beef and the Singapore mai fun. Both dishes were served hot and cooked right in front of us. The owner and staff were pleasant and happy to see us. The quality of this place was so impressive. I also ordered an eggroll and it was one of the best I have ever had crispy and not soggy at all with powerful flavor. The seasonings on all the food were so spot on. Highly recommend this one. I have not found better Chinese food in the KC area.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“We’ve been regulars here for years and for good reason. The facility is impressively clean, and the service is some of the best in town—friendly, attentive, and fast.
I’ve tried a bit of everything: the lunch specials (Shrimp/Combo), soups, and Lo Mein. The food is consistently delicious, well-portioned, and very fairly priced. The egg drop soup is my favorite in town. If you're looking for fresh food and a team that actually cares about their customers, this is the place. This is not a buffet but individually prepared dishes. You will find a favorite.“

“Bo Lings is one of those places that became one of my top favorites after one little bite. Their cashew chicken is genuinely one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything tastes super fresh, the flavors are unique compared to a lot of other Chinese spots around town, and somehow it is always consistent every single visit and that helps it also feel like comfort food.

The staff has always been super kind to me, and even when they’re busy the food still comes out delicious and hot. It's definitely on the pricier side, but honestly this is one of those places where you can taste what you’re paying for.

A couple things to know before going: the building can get a little warm during hotter months, and parking is kind of chaotic. There are only a couple of pickup spots up by the doors, otherwise you’re usually parking along Zona street parking or trekking over from near Dick’s. Still absolutely worth the little walk once the food hits the table.“

“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“

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

“So it has become a thing for my family to get Chinese on our way out of town when visiting places. This one honestly looked kinda sketchy, but that's kinda a sign your in the right place. Once you walk in it look quite a bit better, nothing special by any means. Lots of booths and seating/tables... Obviously your about to sit down to eat (usually). Unfortunately we didn't stay we got takeout as our flight was leaving soon otherwise we would have had a seat ourselves. They have a lot of food options! The buffet was very budget friendly but it looked like it didn't exactly have tons of options. That being said we looked it over and I probably would have gotten the buffet if we stayed. The food that they had at the buffet looked and smelled amazing. If we make it was back to Kansas City we will most likely come back for another visit.“

“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?“

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

“We live about 10 minutes away and this has become our favorite local takeout spot. The sesame chicken is my daughter’s favorite, my husband always gets the chicken skewers, and I switch between the General Tso’s and Kung Pao. It’s always good, portions are big, and the staff remember our faces now which is nice.“

“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.“

“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.“

“we love the pad Thai!“

“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“

“I slept on this place for so long because I tried a dish that didn't compare to my usual spot. Now this is one of my usual spots because the general tso chicken is so dang good. I like mine to be less sweet and they do that here. They're also so nice and friendly. Love their lunch special.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Always great!“

“New Peking is an unassuming little spot in a Westport strip mall. Don't let that fool you as the food and service are fantastic! They have a wide variety of dishes from Chinese to Korean.

Everything we've had was prepared well and full.of flavor. They likely do a majority carry-out business, but definitely take the time to dine in and enjoy the food hot and fresh!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is a drive thru only establishment, but it is one of the BEST Chinese food restaurants I've ever been to.
The family that runs it is absolutely amazing, the food is delicious!
I am known there for coming to get only their crab ragoon 😭😭 . They are one of the only restaurants that actually have crab, and the other ingredients, that normal crab ragoon should have. The orange chicken is the best in KC in my opinion, and you can't beat their prices (especially their lunch menu prices!)
Everything is made it order and comes out hot and fresh.
I have never had a bad meal here.
Honestly one of my favorite restaurants in the city.
Fantastic place to get some delicious food.“

“Best Fried Rice hands down.... She always greets you with a smile, and knows her returning customer order. I just wish she goes back to taking credit cards. Tried the Lo'mein it was bas but I have tasted better. I noticed the price is the same but the box has gotten smaller.“

“Have only gotten delivery or takeout. Cheap as hell, solid cheap Chinese food, super consistent, delivery through them is unbelievable quick, HUGE portions. Idk what the other reviews are about, hands down best cheap Chinese place in the area.“

“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.“

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