23 Best Chinese Restaurants near Carrboro

“An inexpensive but surprisingly authentic Chinese take-out option. Their lunch specials in particular are a great, affordable grab-and-go option for working folks who just need something quick and reliably tasty. One of my frequent go-to options for lunch.“

“I ordered the beef with broccoli and it tasted like a holy cow because it was so good. The Singapore mei fun is also very good, it is yellow color and yellow might just be my favorite color. The people there are also very cool especially the girl with the glasses in the front, she sounded like she was very enthusiastic about her job and I respect that. If you did not know, I go to this place every day and they are so good at making food. I feel like I could lift a cow after eating the food because it gives me so much energy. Also, the prices are extremely good in my opinion. The sesame chicken is only 12.95 and I could be full for the whole day (in my opinion). Not only that, the chairs are also very comfortable, I was dining in once and the chair felt like a chair. The environment is also very good, it made me feel like I was in a whole new world. Such a great location, today is my 209th day going to the place by the way.“

“fast affordable delicious. I've been a customer for over 10 years! love this restaurant“

“This is definitely the BEST Chinese/Szeuchan food in NC! It was SO good! The restaurant itself was in a bit of a tough shape, but the food was absolutely amazing and the service was super speedy and incredibly friendly. The ingredients were extremely fresh too! We ordered the Salt and Pepper Shrimp and the Pan fried pork dumplings! The shrimp in our dish was literally caught just earlier in the morning and the vegetables and pork was farm fresh. Expertly made Chinese food. (We recommend the dinner menu!)“

“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.“

“The staff here is wonderful. We go with our two young boys and they are always so welcoming, friendly, and accommodating to us. The food is delicious and there is variety for everyone. We love going here and would highly recommend it to anyone.“

“Great food. Warm, friendly atmosphere! Wonderful selection.“

“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“

“The food is delicious and authentic! The staff are nice, and one of them gave me a great recommendation for the tomato and beef noodle soup. I also loved the fried sesame balls - perfect texture and taste. It is a good restaurant to dine in, as it is cozy and calming. Will be back!“

“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.“

“10/10 recommend. That’s all I gotta say.“

“First time eating food from here. Did takeout. The fried squid was amazing and the sweet and sour fish excellent. My lemon chicken was okay, had better ones overseas and in Raleigh. But it does get the job done. The fried rice was also tasty and they put a good amount of sauces in bowls which is awesome. Overall would recommend eating from here“

“Pleasantly surprised!!!! We have not gotten takeaway from Panda Garden for quite a while now because it seemed that it was getting more and more expensive while the quality was getting worse. But last night we decided to give it another try, and we were impressed. The menu has expanded, the online ordering process is easier, the prices are appropriate, and the food was great! NY style Chinese food that's super nice for a movie night on a cold evening. We will put Panda Garden back in our rotation for takeout nights!“

“Celebrated Chinese New Year with friends on Sunday at Lunch time. We were the only table but they were very busy with takeout orders. We ordered Happy Family, General Taos Chicken. Seafood Delight, Chicken wings, steamed Broccoli, noodles and pork dish and shared. All of the dishes were very good and the waitress took time to take photos for us.“

“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.“

“First time ordering from New Top China and we placed a large takeout order for a family dinner. The food was ready quickly and the staff were so friendly! Dinner was delicious and less greasy than other takeout restaurants that we have tried. The vegetables were particularly fresh too!“

“Super yummy food - highly recommend the rangoons!“

“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.“

“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.“

“While most restaurants reopened their dine in service long ago since covid isn't a pandemic anymore, I'm happy to say Orient Garden has finally reopened their dine in service rather than just having take out.

The menu isn't as big as before, and the prices have gone up, which is understandable. They haven't added soup back to the menu yet, but they said they will soon.

My spouse and I each got a spring roll, which was bigger than I remembered. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as I recall it being.

She got the shrimp and mixed vegetables, which she said was just okay, but it was a very big portion. I had the Szechuan chicken, which had tons of huge pieces of chicken, but was just okay too. We both had plenty of leftovers to bring home. It tasted much better as leftovers.

Hopefully, this was just reopening jitters cos they always had the best Chinese around.“

“Ordered the Szechuan beef and was cooked perfectly but suffered from a severe lack of seasoning and heat level was a one if that. Not the norm so will take this as a one off and hope it's not a trend.

Dietary restrictions: Pretty good at customizing your food if you tell them in advance about any restrictions you have.

Wheelchair accessibility: Like most places these days they have handicap parking and you can eat comfortably at the tables.“
