30 Best Chinese Restaurants in Durham

“Good homestyle cooking! This place hasn’t changed in years, I have visited this place over 7 years and they don’t let me down. Good place to visit in groups so one can share the dim sum variety. Their individual entrees are all made to order and fresh tasting.“

“We placed a catering order with Peony for a work meeting for 14 people. We did it through EZ Cater. We are so pleased! Everything was correct, the food was labeled, everyone really enjoyed their selections. Peony even accommodated the special requests that were written in for a couple of the orders. Our order was ready promptly and they automatically included the extra sauces, condiments, crunchy toppings, utensils (including chopsticks), and threw in a couple complimentary half gallons of sweet tea. The staff was so nice, they helped me get everything into my car.

We allowed our staff to choose between the Office Kitchen Lunch and the Office Sushi Lunch - the prices are seriously affordable for such good food and for the generous portion sizes. Our all-in price per person was under $15/pp (that's with food, taxes, tip). We will definitely order from here again and highly recommend it!“

“We received the best service from Mariah this Sat. It was a party of 25 guests, she serviced use with 100% customer service. the food was great and we were leaving a funeral which was a bad day for all, we left feeling a littler lighter, due to the our server. She is a GEM.“

“I've ordered so much I am known. Fried rice with onions. The place I eat when it comes to Chinese. The best in town“

“Food was incredible, high quality ingredients and prepared perfectly. There were some reviews that knocked the restaurant for atmosphere, this place is literally high end quality in a relaxed, causal atmosphere. It feels cozy, the dated feel gives it an authentic-seeming vibe. And to be honest, when you see the majority of the clientele are Asian and spending Chinese at their tables, I feel the food must be pretty authentic too.“

“run of the mill Chinese joint. Fast and get my orders right, so thumbs up“

“chicken wings..hot sour soup and house fried rice..“

“We worked with Sister Liu's food truck for our wedding reception and they did a fabulous job! No lines, food was fast and hot and so delicious, and they were a pleasure to work with -- made it easy and seamless for us! Could not recommend more.“

“I love, love, LOVEEEE Bamboo House. The customer service is PHENOMENAL- every single time. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the owner always works to accommodate any requests if applicable. I can't recommend them enough! I don't eat any Chinese anywhere else anymore, lol.“

“I get lunch here often and it is always delicious. They got fat pre-inflation eggrolls and their pork fried rice is on point. Highly recommend the Shrimp and Chinese Vegetable and the Hunan Chicken, their brown and fermented black bean sauce is killer. Cash only and there is almost always someone asking for money outside but everyone has been real chill. Takeout only as well, no indoor seating.“

“The server is really friendly and the dishes are really authentic. Sichuan flavor chicken and fried noodles are really good.“

“My family has been coming here since I was little , the family who works here might as well be family🤣. The garlic chicken with pork fried rice is 🔥, I've never found something i haven't liked there. Plus I love how the broccoli is cooked with the chicken instead of steamed. My favorite Chinese restaurant yet!“

“Truly a durham staple. I’ve been going here for 20 years! Always run into people I know & love. Such a townie spot that fills me with happiness. Gotta go Wed or Sat for the vegan platter. Same staff since I was a kid & they’re wonderful. Can’t beat it!“

“I pass this restaurant frequently and just decided to stop by. My first time ordering takeout from here, I ordered Spicy Pepper Fried Fish. Their customer service is attentive from the time you walk in the door. What I ordered took 17 minutes to complete at best. The meal was still hot by the time I got to my destination. When you order from here I will recommend to order non-spicy or ask that the peppers be removed due to the amount of spicy peppers that were added to the meal; unless you like a lot of spice. Outside of the level of spicy, the food was very good.“

“Moved to Durham in December 2023 and have been trying lots of restaurants in the area. This Chinese buffet is definitely a place I have come back to and recommend. Good prices for all the food you can get and friendly staff with a family friendly atmosphere. Food has always been good since I’ve been coming with a wide variety. Can be pretty busy on Sundays.“

“Good food, It is best darning experience.“

“Out of towners looking for a place to eat. Stumbled upon this little house. Outside looks were deceiving, nice on the inside. Prompt in seating and taking our order. Waitress attentive, food hot and delicious. Wide variety of options Vegetarian. Available Parking is limited but street parking available. Kid friendly
Worth checking this place out.“

“Is New Top's China gourmet? No. Is the ambiance that of fine dining? Of course not. And if you order over the phone, don't be put off by the speaker's brief responses. But if you're looking for a cheap, delicious American Chinese takeout meal? Then this is the place for you. My favorite no-nonsense joint in the area. Lunch and dinner combos ($7 and $9 for entree and fried rice + eggroll) are great deals and they always load me up. Food's fresh, fried chicken dishes (sesame, general tso's, etc.) are always superb. Love the fried rice too. Been going here regularly as a student and will miss it dearly!“

“You know the food is good when 3 days later your 9 year old reminds you to give them a 5 star. Honey wings are so good and the rice is probably the best Chinese rice I’ve ever had. So far the only really good food I’ve had in the RDU area since I’ve been here“

“Been around for years good food“

“The only chinese eatery in Hayti! New Resident, here! I was spoiled in Winston-Salem with cool places like Mr. Lu's ( If you are ever in Winston-Salem, NC 10 out of 10! Off of 311/ New Walkertown down from WSSU! Fire, every time! And the staff is always friendly! .... ) Wang's Garden is just as good! Sesame Chicken with the Pork Fried Rice and an Egg Roll Combo is my go to! Was prepared lovely! Still figuring my way around Durham, this is a jewel in the neighborhood Hayti! :)“

“Kwik wok is an institution. It is a following. It is a vibe. And it's the best Chinese, at a great price, and FAST! This place is legitimately my favorite place for Chinese food and it is delicious. I can highly recommend their egg drop soup, crab rangoons, egg foo young, general tsos chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and BBQ spare ribs. Their fried rice and lo mein have great flavor too. Kwik wok is a whole mood.“

“A friend recommended this place, and I'm really glad she did. Their crab Rangoon are quite 5 I am kind of obsessed with their Singapore Noodles! It's got everything! Serving sizes are also generous. Will be working through their menu, for sure.“

“It's not a place to sit down and eat it's a place for takeout. The staff are friendly and very accommodating they will modify your order to your liking. I wouldn't expect vegans or gluten-free individuals to find many options here but definitely vegetarians.“

“This is one of my go-to takeout spots in the area! So much so, that I’m willing to drive 20 minutes to pick it up. It’s always worth it. The food here is delicious and their staff is helpful and appreciative. If you’re looking for your next local favorite, I’d say this is it!“

“Just moved to this side of town, And first of all they have a all you can eat buffet for 7.99. nuf said. Pluss its family owned and run By a really nice mixed Asian family. The food could honestly be better but it's always fresh. Me personally I'm dumping cash into this place......“

“I feel like some of the reviews can be ignored as they are just picky customers who walk around with high expectations instead of an open mind , yea the food quality isn’t top tier but at the same time your complaining about that when the portion size is literally double any where else; great bang for buck during lunch time 11 and some change I got 2 egg rolls and in the picture I already ate the other half it was so much food , side note if it’s your first time going out to try any Chinese and you don’t get sesame chicken you already dug yourself a grave if disappointment ; think of it as seasme chicken is like the abcs or 1+1 if they can’t do the basics why would you try anything else , so that being said I’d only trust their seasme and orange chicken the rest looks to risky lmao“

“The food here is always good, from my experience, except for the spring rolls. Mushy, cubed vegetables in a crispy wonton- utterly disappointing when you want an egg roll. If you're going to send them with an order also containing egg rolls, bag them separately.“

“I had to be frugal with the stars because I didn't want to upset the scale. This place is awesome. The food was fresh and hot. Service was prompt and courteous.
So, when we got food here, the score was 3.6, which for Chinese food in America indicates delicious food and authentic Chinese manners.“

“This is a place to bring the whole crew. There is something for everyone. I love the grill part in the back, where they cook to order. But all of the food there is fresh, good and the buffet tables are clean. I go here all the time, and I always leave happy and full.“
