16 Best Chinese Restaurants near Carrboro

“Have been coming to China Wok for almost 12 years and just now doing a review. I have never had a bad meal here! Do take out and have enjoyed their Beef Low Mein, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Fried Chicken Wings, General Tso’s Chicken, Shrimp dishes, Hot and Sour soup. Every order has been correct and cooked perfectly, every single time!

This time I got the Sesame Chicken with pork fried rice and shrimp roll. That chicken was so tender and flavorful! It was even better the second day for leftovers.

The staff has always been friendly on the phone and in person. The restaurant is clean and well stocked.

Can’t say enough about China Wok. My favorite Chinese restaurant here in town.“

“I’ve been in the neighborhood since 2021 and feel fairly qualified to call myself a local. In my experience, Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant has offered the same caliber of excellent food service as they did the first time I ever ordered from them. The people on the phone/at the front register are always so warm and friendly. The food itself is terrific! Cozy, hot, and filling, each bite bursting with flavor, and ready in almost no time. Can’t beat those prices either.“

“Hunam in Chapel Hill is one of those rare places that quietly becomes part of the fabric of a community. There’s a reason it’s been around for decades.

From the moment you walk in, there’s a sense that this place is cared for. Not curated for trendiness, not redesigned every few years to keep up, but cared for in a steady, genuine way. Nelson and his wife run Hunam with a kind of consistency and warmth that you can feel. It’s the kind of hospitality that doesn’t need to announce itself; it just shows up in how you’re greeted, how your food is prepared, and how the space is maintained.

The back party room is a hidden gem. The walls are lined with beautiful wallpaper he imported from China. Sitting around the large round tables with a lazy Susan in the center feels almost ceremonial, like you’re meant to slow down, share, and stay awhile. It’s not just a place to eat, it’s a place to gather.

The food is simple, satisfying, and reliably good. The kind of dishes you crave after a long day, flavorful, comforting, and generously portioned. Even better, it’s still affordable, which feels increasingly rare.

Hunam hasn’t lasted this long by chasing trends. It’s lasted because it’s rooted in something much more enduring: family, care, and a genuine connection to the people it serves. Places like this don’t just stay open, they become beloved.“

“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!“

“Super yummy food - highly recommend the rangoons!“

“I can always count on China Buffet to feed my family after a long day of work when I don’t want to cook. Customer service is great and it matches the yummy food! Will always be back- every 2 weeks 🤪 one of my fave dishes is the jalapeño chicken! Gotta try it!“

“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.“
