27 Best Chinese Restaurants in Durham

“Fabulous spot for traditional dim sum brought on carts!! Went there on Sunday for lunch and it was packed. But the wait wasn't too long. The owner was so kind and offered vegetarian dim sum options for my wife. The rest of us enjoyed shrimp dumplings, shumai, and so many other goodies all washed down with piping hot jasmine tea. Felt as good as the dim sum of San Francisco! What a gem. My heart and belly are so happy! Plus, they scored a 98 on their health inspection... I will always support a restaurant that maintains a high health inspection score. We will be back!“

“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.“

“Peony had been the go-to spot for a while and the food is great for take out and normally on-point with their service. However, something is wrong with their system because the last few times as it seems to be “losing my online order” meaning I have to wait an extra 20 minutes. Nothing major would just recommend they upgrade their ordering service to minimize these minor, but recently consistent inconveniences. Would recommend calling to place order.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This is our favorite takeout spot in the area! The staff are always so kind and the food is fresh and delicious. I love getting the dinner or lunch combos- they are a great value and I can usually get at least 2 meals out of them. Highly recommend coming here if you want the best Chinese takeout in Durham!“

“Feeling Monday’s blues? Get Banh’s. Feeling broke? Get Banh’s. Just hungry and want to dine in peace? Craving Chinese/Viet with that wok hei? Get Banh’s. Love this place, the food is always solid, and the ladies there are always kind. Cheap and solid portion!“

“This place is the best of three chinese restaurants around me... Their egg rolls are a little cheaper and bigger.. Their plastic food containers are nice and not made of black recycled computers which the others use. Their portion seemed generally bigger here... The only catches they are cash only , Which is ok by me.
Chicken
And broccoli is my favorite.“

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

“Fist time diners on our way to see relatives and we needed a quick bite. Very clean with nice piano background music. The staff is very friendly and the food was served quick and hot. The spring rolls, egg drop and hot n sour soups are good. The shrimp fried rice and chicken n broccoli are great. Too much food to eat at once. Very reasonably priced as well for all that food.“

“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.“

“Food was delicious, hot and fresh! Service was good and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a Chinese Buffet 😂 we drove 10 minutes out of our way to eat here on the way back from vacation and it was definitely worth it!! ✨“

“I already recommended this place to my sister. I don't know about takeout, but the dine-in experience was amazing. I don't leave too many good reviews. But this impressed me. Super nice server, full of smiles, actually Chinese, real decorative plates, no Styrofoam, and they served a PLATE of those crispy noodle crackers (like comes with soup) for FREE as an appetizer ( just like tortilla chips at a Mexican restaurant)! Food was really good too and prices were typical, not extra“

“I have no idea what these people are saying by implying that the food and service is bad.....THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IN DURHAM! THIS IS THE CLOSEST CHINESE FOOD IN MY OPINION THAT TASTES LIKE IT WAS COOKED IN NY!

YOU CAROLINIAN TASTE BUDS ARE OUT OF ORDER!

THE FOOD AND SERVICE IS FANTASTIC! ☺️“

“Been around for years good food“

“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.“

“Great takeout experience! The food is always fresh and delicious, and they serve the best Wonton soup around. Rich flavor, perfect temperature, and full of fresh ingredients. Service is fast, friendly, and consistent. They seem to care about their customers. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving great Chinese food done right.“

“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......“

“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! :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food has a lot of variety. Staffs are very accomodating. Even if we came during weekend, there is no waiting time. This is our go to place when we can’t decide where to go because everything you ask for is here. I also like that food remain hot here and the staffs come and check you on your table from time to time.“
