50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Apex

“After Chinese #1 closed in Cary, I had to find a new spot for Chinese food.

Overall, the staff are incredibly nice, the place is clean and the food was just meh. Believe it or not, the soup was the clear winner. Giant wontons in the soup, broth was great too. Had both egg drop and wonton soups. 5/5.

As someone that comes from the Northeast, it’s wild to me that every take out Chinese restaurant in Raleigh does bright yellow fried rice as if I was eating Cuban food… pork fried rice was 2/5.

The Sesame Chicken was all white meat. Great portion. Sauce was a bit tangy, but not bad. 4/5.

Overall, not bad by any means. If you need some Chinese take out, it’s one of the better options in town.“

“We ordered take out today from New China Chef, Apex. The items that we ordered were egg drop soup, teriyaki chicken, shrimp with mixed vegetables and chicken with cashew nuts. All the items were very tasty!! I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“My family and I have been coming here for about six years now, and we’ve always had a great experience. The food is really good and affordable, and the service is awesome. The woman at the front always remembers me and is super sweet every time I pick up our order. It’s just a nice spot with good vibes, and we keep coming back and always recommend it to friends!“

“Absolutely phenomenal food and service! (I’m OBSESSED with the Chili-fried diced chicken.)“

“Solid Chinese joint. You're going to want to take this home. It's not really all that appealing for eat-in.

All four dishes that we got here were great. I wish the egg rolls were a bit bigger but they were tasty as well

Pricing was normal. And the guy at the counter was nice enough but don't be looking to start up too many conversations with him.

I thought the sesame chicken and the garlic chicken were both really good. The pork lo mein was a really healthy amount of shredded pork in it. Can't remember the last time I was impressed with pork lo mein.“

“Friendly staff and great food! The sushi, soup, and goyza were amazing. We will definitely return!“

“The Beyond Orange Chicken tasted really good, but the individual pieces of 'chicken' had a really tough, almost hard, exterior. My guess is that they'd been sitting there for a while because it's not ordered as often as other dishes? It was really nice to have a vegetarian entree option, so I'm not complaining overall, but there were a few pieces I almost couldn't get a fork into. Like I said, overall taste was good. Vegetable spring rolls also good.

Service was fine, nothing negative. Atmosphere was pleasant, we sat/ate/talked for probably 30-45min.

Vegetarian options: The only options I tried were the Beyond Orange Chicken and veggie spring rolls but both were good. Cream cheese rangoons are a good side option as well.“

“I absolutely loved my experience at Miss Chang An. The food tasted incredibly authentic — every bite brought back memories of home. The liangpi (cold noodles) were perfectly chewy and full of flavor, and the beef soup was rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. You can really tell the dishes are made with care. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made it feel like a hidden gem. I’m so glad I found this place — it’s definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in the Triangle area. Highly recommended!“

“After a long day of traveling, this is just what I needed. The staff here are so nice and respectful. The food was delicious! I recommend the egg drop soup. If you're visiting Raleigh or staying in a nearby hotel, this place is definitely worth a try.“

“I had C&T delivered and it was excellent! I had the coffee popcorn chicken, which is a really interesting flavor. While not the same, it's a similar type of experience as a mole sauce. Highly recommend. I also had the 5 Spice Pork Belly, which was just wonderful. The sauce is very savory and goes well with rice. The pork belly was cut in actually bite sized pieces, unlike a lot of places that leave it too large. The spicy crispy fish is delicious enough to eat cold as leftovers. I love the sichuan shoestring potatoes...so sour and crispy. That isn't a familiar experience for westerners, but I adore it. They gave plenty of rice with the meal for no extra charge, something that has become an issue in my area. I think that the prices were very reasonable in comparison to portion size. I've yet to finish this order and I already want to order more - definitely some lamb next time.“

“Great neighborhood takeout. Huge portions for not a whole lotta money.
The food is exactly as you'd expect from a take-out: some dishes are better than others but all are pretty good
The staff is friendly. The place is clean. The prices super affordable.
So what's not to like?“

“Excellent, friendly! Will be back.“

“Ive been coming here for years. I have tried all the chinese restaurants in Cary, Raleigh, and Garner- strictly speaking in terms of orange/general tso/sesame chicken. This restaurant has the best lunch special deal, crispiness of chicken, and flavor of the sauces out of all of them (including panda express and pei wei).“

“Asian Garden delivers an experience that far exceeds expectations. This modest eatery offers freshly prepared dishes that are honest, deeply flavorful, and remarkably affordable. It is a place where quality meets simplicity in the best way.

The kitchen clearly operates with skill and care. Every bite of the beef and mushrooms lunch special spoke to high heat wok cooking, evident in the slightly smoky edges and vibrant textures. The beef was impressively tender, while the mushrooms carried an earthy richness that made them more than just a supporting act. A savory sauce brought everything together and lingered just enough to make the final bite feel like a tease for more.

Lunch also came with a comforting bowl of soup, light yet satisfying. At under eight dollars, the meal felt generous both in portion and in taste. Despite feeling full, I found myself thinking about the next visit before I even left the table.

Asian Garden is the kind of spot that reminds you how good simple food can be when cooked with intention. I will definitely return to explore more of the menu.“

“My go-to local Chinese place. Love their food. Especially the Chicken in garlic sauce. They are quick, efficient and never make a mistake.“

“I live in Oklahoma and make it a point to stop and eat here anytime I’m in the area. Exceptional service and food! 5 stars!“

“Great place I am just spoiled with awesome Chinese food near where I stay so I’d give the rating of food a 3 star. In my opinion the sauce they used for the sesame chicken I ordered was fantastic but the white meat chicken just didn’t absorb the seasoning enough to balance out. They are great people and I will definitely be looking forward to coming back and trying out some teriyaki chicken or crab rangoons for another review! :)“

“Love it! A no-shrills-straight-to-the-point Chinese restaurant. Food is probably some of the best Chinese food I have had in NC and you don't have to pay an arm and a leg. Dishes that can be spicy are typically spicy without having to ask. They use real peppers and are not shy. Service is fast and professional.“

“The food is always delicious. The only thing we add at the table is soy sauce.“

“Good authentic chinese. Best I’ve had in a while. Everything was so smooth from ordering at a kiosk which the full menu and pictures and you can do any modifications or you can order in person. Food was made fresh and very hot I’m glad we stopped by today. Stop in if you are looking for good Chinese. I live in Raleigh but it was definitely worth the drive. And the packaging was impeccable. 4.3 stars does not do this place justice. They need the 5 stars from my experience today. I had the king pow chicken“

“Food is excellent lots of variety. Great staff. Atmosphere is good.“

“Honestly, this is the kind of food I can never get sick of no matter how much times I get it (and I get it pretty often). It has this flavor I can’t explain but trust it, it’s good.
I’m not one to be able to handle much spice, but this I could handle, though normally I just ask for it to be without spice.“

“They didn't even have tables anymore so don't plan on eating in. The food though was fantastic. Plenty of pork in my lo mein, something I can't say about many local Chinese places. Shopping rolls and fried dumplings were great too.“

“Been ordering from China Cary for years. The food is always very good., very fresh with generous portions. A neighborhood gem.“

“Dining area was very clean,customer service was perfect and my order was hot and fresh when I went to go pick it up,plus the chicken wings are phenomenal!!!!!!!!! Overall the food is so good you will probably eat it in one sitting(okay maybe not one sitting,you at least got to save some for later lol)“

“Hidden gem in the Oak Hall shopping center. This is a place I would travel far to come to. The food is fantastic and the people are so friendly. You should definitely check this place out the next time you're in Holly Springs or North Carolina for that matter.“

“I ordered the sweet and sour pork, which was unfortunately quite poor in quality due to its excessive fat content. I opted for the sesame chicken with white meat, which was quite satisfactory. The egg rolls and rice were also enjoyable.
It is advisable to carefully examine the pricing, as I was almost charged $7 for a soda and one
white sauce.“

“Amazing vegetation food and especially Nilesh Patel very good service I will give five star to this restaurant“

“Jumbo China has really stepped up their game in the last year or so! The food has become tastier! You always get a good value. Service is speedy and literally, this is the ONLY place in a very long time where my order is always correct!!!! Happy they are our local spot!“

“The woman who works here is very nice. I order the same thing every time lunch Black Pepper Chicken and have never been disappointed. Good flavor, crispy chicken. I have tried the seasame chicken and did not enjoy it as much. Different consistency. Fast, efficient service.“

“JJ China is a reliable take-out spot that we frequent often. The food is consistently decent—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying for a quick meal. What really stands out is the exceptional customer service. The staff is always friendly, efficient, and makes the ordering process smooth and pleasant every time.

It’s a solid go-to for chinese take-out, and we appreciate the consistency and hospitality with each visit.“

“Hong Kong Chinese has the very BEST Hunan Shrimp I have ever had. And I have traveled to CO, TX, FL, MN and Europe. They turn over orders SO fast in their small kitchen. I suggest you take it home, to work, or a picnic table. No atmosphere. No room to diners. Very unsettling if you are accustomed to fine cuisine and a tidy spacious dining area. BUT THE FOOD......Is the best in the Triangle. Blessings little Hong Kong! Prices are very reasonable.“

“I have come to our store several times in a row because our skewers, pot-roasted pork, and cold noodles are the best I have ever eaten in the United States. Today I came to the store with some good friends and ordered some of my usual favorites. Everyone agreed that it was not only delicious, but must come again.
In addition, the waiter Jenny's service is very good. Every time I see her, she is greeted with a smile. Every time she takes the menu and bill seriously, she is careful and conscientious, and the service is attentive, which is great.“

“This place is a must try if you are in the area. It was delicious.“

“Food is very tasty and always happy with food. All in all great experience. 100% recommend.“

“I have been eating here for the last maybe 15 years. This is my go-to place, my daughter would call me and ask me to bring in food when I leave work in Cary and drive home to Youngsville, NC(Franklin Co.). When I get home, the food is still nice and hot. It's so good, that when I wanted Hong Kong, I would drive from home, BACK to Cary to get it. Either way, it's worth it.“

“This really is the Best Chinese food in holly springs. It’s the best I’ve had in North Carolina. Always go with a classic sesame chicken that’s coated in sauce but still nice and crispy. The beef and broccoli is so tender; my family fights over the broccoli!“

“This was the BEST Food that I have had in months. Customer Service was great, food was EXCELLENT! I will return!!!??

Kid-friendliness: They were nice to my Granddaughter and gave her compliments!❤

Parking: Great location, great parking.“

“This food is amazing! This will change your life. I used to not like asian foods, very cold in minnesota. But ever since try from here food was very good! 10/10 This is my favorite place to come in Cary.“

“I go here when I am craving the flavors and experience of fantastic, authentic, hospitable family style cooking. The beef hot pot and salt and pepper fish, the egg rolls . . . You name it, this place can do it. Just writing this review is making me want to head over for a quick lunch or save some room for a delicious and filling dinner. Try this place out, for dine in or delivery--you will not be disappointed!“

“Shared cashew chicken with white rice. Also had wonton soup and spring roll - all delicious! Recommend!“

“I went to New China in Cary, NC yesterday. Beef with Snow Pea was absolutely delicious, always good, also my favorite Hot & Sour Soup was so fresh, they cooked to order. I really recommend!!!
Last but not least, you can order smaller portion for certain dishes. Price is very affordable 👌“

“I just became a frequent customer as one order can last me 2 dinners and maybe a lunch, since it’s just me. I order online and it’s ready on time, every time, nice and hot. It’s only a dine in restaurant but I know they get busy around dinner time! The women at the front are always nice and funny :) I will be back for a while!“

“We returned to this restaurant after a long time, now under new ownership. The food was delicious, but the service left a lot to be desired. The place was quite noisy. With just two of us, we were shuffled into a cramped table in a small space.“

“Easy fast food not as bad health wise as the junk drive-ins. We need in and out for a burger joint. The best ! The rest will go broke.

Vegetarian options: Anywhere they cook meat on the same griddle or flat top is not vegetarian. I know been married to one for 45 years. She runs five miles a day and works out like a boxer and does that also. While I'm on high blood pressure meds! Go figure? 😆“

“This is a great option for Chinese food! It’s between the shell gas station and library. I have been going here for many years now. I would recommend the sesame chicken! It was impressive. They are remodeling the store now and it looks good
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

👍👍👍“

“I had a gift card given to me some 1.5 years ago, and just today made my way to the store! Felt adventurous and was craving some tropical fruits. I was blown away by the variety of exotic fruits, and the extensive choice of fish. The store is, certainly, a cultural experience! My 10-year-old and I each got a smoothie - mango and pear, but I feel curious about many of the other drinks and desserts that I’d love to try. They, also, have cooked/hot food there and will bring my husband next time since he loves Asian food. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I went to this buffet and it was good, so good in fact that they treat you like a normal person would first the food. The food would be like any other Chinese buffet, but I was so surprised that they had ice cream like I’ve never seen a buffet have ice cream. It was like seeing an animal in the Buffet. There wasn’t actually any animal in the Buffet but oh well we don’t have to talk about it next the service the service of course what I just said it greets you like a normal person and then you have to say how many persons there are you know just like the normal questions and then they greet you to your table and then you get your food.The
atmosphere was actually a little bit too fancy but oh well it’s how they designed it. it’s good 14 out of 15 stars.“

“Friendly and fast service“
