50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Raleigh

“We had a large party for a birthday celebration. Kay was absolutely amazing. She handled everything smoothly and gracefully. What a very pleasant person and she looked absolutely fabulous while doing so. Any requests were handled quickly and she helped us end the celebration with a bang while presenting the cake to our guest of honor. I don’t know if we could have asked for a better server. Thank you Kay for making this celebration extra special for a special birthday!“

“Old school Cubes restaurant. Very classy. Maybe needs a refresh... tables and chairs were a little creepy.
The food was awesome! I had cunin beef and the table had crab rangoons and fried pork wontons. All were excellent.
You won't go wrong choosing imperial Garden Chinese.“

“Reviews all said excellent. 4 new believers. Each dish was excellent and great portions“

“The food is really great! Definitely the real deal Asian! Great food“

“The Pad Thai and the Dan Dan Noodles are delicious! The service is always very fast. Nice atmosphere where music playing overhead. I definitely recommend.“

“CLEAN THE BATHROOMS!“

“China Won is best place for Chinese good hand down. They have variety of soups and our favorite is egg drop soup. We also loved Singapore style noodles. You can get your lunch under $15. Owner is very friendly person. We will go there again and recommend to our friends to support this local business.“

“Delicious food and great portions“

“This place is definitely a hidden gem.
Great flavor food
The only thing that I didn’t like was the wings was “huge” .
The lunch special with the wings is reasonably priced.
Amazing customer service
The lemonade is a 10/10 !!!“

“Restaurant is under new management and I can't tell you how much of a needed and positive change this is. They've remodeled the inside and their new menu is great. Food is fresh and very good and the new management is super friendly.“

“Really good dim sum in raleigh. Loved everything I previously ordered: shrimp dumplings, sesame balls, steamed egg custard buns, siu mai, and the spring rolls. my favorite was lotus leaf that has the rice and pork wrapped inside. SOOO GOOD.“

“The food is pretty decent. I ordered the beef teriyaki, orange beef, and korean chicken.

The beef teriyaki was very tender and flavorful. The orange beef is not too difficult from other Chinese restaurants and was still good and comforting. The Korean chicken is something I never seen before in a Chinese restaurant menu and was unexpected. It was like a shredded and coated fry with onions in a light brown sauce. It's good and definitely worth an order.

I think I'll try some other stuff on the menu in the future and see how it stacks up with other Chinese restaurants in the area.“

“I’ve been going here since I was a little kid, and it was my parent’s first date spot after immigrating years ago. They have always been consistent with the food quality and their efforts to maintain cleanliness and care are noticeable, even if the area around the restaurant is a little sketchy. The restaurant owner talks about how he’s seen me grow up, and my parents talk about they’ve seen his son grow up. It’s obvious the owner cares about his customers. I’ve moved out to college in UNCC now, but even in my dinky apartment over 100 miles away I crave Wang’s kitchen.“

“This spot is quiet and spacious—such a nice vibe for dining in! The food tastes way better here than it does takeout, honestly. And the chefs are so thoughtful they even cooked the veggies extra soft just for my mom’s teeth. Total gem of a place with the sweetest service!“

“My daughter and I love this place!!“

“We dined last night at Sizzling Stirfry Asian Bistro. We ordered Hakka noodles and Man Chow soup. Both dishes were piping hot and finger licking delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant. Anil and Mahesh were super efficient. It looked like they were the only ones handling the order and service. But there was no chaos, mixing up of orders. Everything was going on so smoothly. The background music was also soothing. Highly recommend this place.“

“I use to work walking distance from Peace. Now, I travel from Wake Forest to get some lo mein.“

“Food is good, hit and miss on the broccoli one day the broccoli is perfect the next day it’s so hard it’s difficult to chew. Please make sure you tell them exactly how you want your food prepared. Location is great I get to order food and run to the grocery store to pick up a few things and back to pick up my food“

“The won ton soup and fried rice are delicious. The won ton soup is best I’ve found in area and the rice is fresh and tastes delicious. I get extra onions in conjunction with the carrots and peas that come in it. They definitely don’t disappoint on the amount of onions. Delicious!!! Ty Jumbo China!“

“These guys worked their a$$es off on Christmas. Line was out the door but everyone was friendly with each other, and the staff were remarkably calm in the middle of chaos.

And my twice cooked pork was extra spicy as requested.“

“This China Wok has been in business since before I moved to Raleigh in 1992, and for it to still be in business in 2025 wow. I remember the food bring sooo good. My mother is from NY, and she said this was the closes thing to her beloved NY city Chinese food. I love this for them. I really want to plan a trip just to get some wings and fried rice.“

“Great people, great food! Always a go to in our family, a must try. Local business, our families favorite place in Raleigh!“

“Food is impeccable! Trust me, I know good food because we used to own a Chinese takeout ourselves and I haven’t been able to find one that can make food as good as my parents until now. Not to mention the owners here are super down to earth and very honest on their pricing/willing to work with you to get you what you need. We ordered catering from here for our company and so many have asked where the food was from.

Since we’ve discovered this place, my boyfriend and I have been regular customers ordering takeout from them every week! With food prices up the roof these days, this is the only place I can rely on to get good quality food for a large portion aside from chipotle!“

“One of the best, if not the best, bang for your buck downtown Raleigh lunch. For less than $11 they will stack a tray full of rice, chicken, and 2 spring rolls. Can't beat the amount of food for the price in downtown Raleigh. Also I would not give it 5 stars if it was bad food. It is pretty pretty good. Sesame chicken and general tso really hit the spot. I recommend this place.Don't order online like the bad reviews I've seen having bad experiences with that. Just walk in. It takes less than a minute to get a tray and pay“

“The food was very flavorful (partially due to msg - I am unfortunately allergic to it and forgot to ask - but it does make the food better, so it was worth the spinal headache).

The scallops were a surprise hit. The beef with broccoli was very tasty. The moo shu was okay. The lo mein was very flavorful (likely where the msg was). The eggplant was also very good, but different than we expected.“

“eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious, spicy too!“

“Went there for the first time on 2/14/2025. Ordered take-out from the dinner menu. Had the combination Hunan Chicken, sesame chicken, lo mein, crab Rangoon, & hot & sour soup. The flavors were all great!!! There is only one set back I want to mention…. “The Lo Mein” is not my preferred dish & will not order it ever again. The noodles were spaghetti noodles & does not do any justice to the dish. I was told my order was will be ready in 30 mins (I know it’s an estimate) but I got there 30 mins later & waited an additional 30 + mins….

Parking: I couldn’t find the place cause their lights were off. The parking was hard to get in & out due to heavy traffic (went around 6pm).“

“This is the best hole-in-the-wall American Chinese in the area. It is what it is, and it's where I go when I want what it is.Food is quality is high without skimping on the more costly ingredients. Portions are large for plenty of leftovers.“

“Best egg rolls in town, and I’ve checked. The Mei fun is awesome. The egg foo yung is awesome. It’s absolutely worth the hassle of going to pick it up. I am picky about my Chinese food and once I found Jin Jin, I haven’t been anywhere else. It’s take out, you can dine in if you want but it’s a take out joint with tables. It’s the best takeout. It’s consistent. The egg rolls and dumplings are made in house, not frozen. Any bad reviews Ive read are petty and describe what I would call the charm of an authentic experience at a Chinese takeout restaurant that knows that they have good Chinese takeout.“

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

“Best damn chinese in this town and I go way back. Jung's Far East, Shanghi, Jin Yuan. Always polite, professional and friendly. Food is uncompromisingly excellent !“

“✨Best Fried Chicken Wings in Raleigh!✨

✅Very Clean (No Yellow)
✅Fried To Perfection
🚫Not Greasy
🦴 You will eat them down to the bone.

Their service is fast (10mins most days unless extremely busy = 15mins) & they really aim to please.

They also have great lunch specials and dinner combination plates to choose from!“

“First time stopping in and was very pleased. I thought the food was delicious. The cashier/server was very knowledgeable and helped me make my food selection. Food was ready in under 10 minutes. Portion size was enormous for the price of the food, my wife and I both loved our dishes (spicy chicken/tofu with vegetables). Nice family operated business right downtown to get an affordable meal. Would highly recommend!“

“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!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

👍👍👍“

“Best crab Rangoon, best shrimp fried rice, best chicken Lo mein in the area. Hands down! Also, really awesome people working the front and back of the restaurant for both take out and dine-in experiences.“

“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 is a family owned and operated business. They are trying very hard to please people, but some people can NOT be pleased. Everyone here is very kind, and the food is very good. Service is above standard. I have read comments on how some people don't "like" this food. That is an individual opinion. Please don't leave bad comments about the entire store just because YOU don't personally like the taste. That has NOTHING to do with anything. As far as the child (I read another comment about a child misbehaving), so it's OK for customers to bring unruly children to a restaurant, but not ok for a restaurant owners' young child to have a bad day? Do not be judging others until you, yourself are free of faults. There is nothing wrong with this business. Thank you for being here and giving us a place to eat. :)“

“You want shrimp fried rice??? Ok 15 minutes!! The food is always hot and delicious and the Lil lady behind the window is gilarious..hilarious... she doesn't take anyone messing with her

Parking: Please ty of parking! Just beware of the local homeless people begging g for money. Some can be too much“

“Really impressed with the quality of food here. I love that the General Tso and spicy chicken were actually spicy when most places have us forgetting that they are supposed to be. We came in at less than an hour before close and never felt rushed or that we were a bother. The place was super clean, no ice cream bar or fortune cookies, just good food. Will definitely be back.“

“Just moved to Wake Forest, tried some Chinese take out food and this place didn’t disappoint at all. It is located in good location, next to a movie theater.
I tried my favorite dish boneless spare ribs with fried rice as always.“

“Didn’t wait long to pick up my online order pretty quick service. After I got home to my surprise the food was very hot and fresh. The crab ragoons were delicious and crispy. Same with the fried rice and beef w. Oyster sauce. Definitely coming back! ^.^“

“Fabulous lunch!! Service was excellent and food Sven better“

“The food is always fresh I live way on the other end now in the back but I go out my way just to go to this Chinese restaurant because it's very good and clean.

Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of things there are kid-friendly and they also offer small portions for children also.

Parking: They have other stores there and also food Lion supermarket so you have plenty of parking free.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it's wheelchair assessable

Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions or you do is ask what's in the dish they don't mind changing the disc the way you that's including sources you can change the way you want. If you don't see something on the menu ask some things are not on it.“

“The place does not disappoint, the food is fire, and it has become my go-to Chinese takeout spot. The food is made to order so if come out hot and fresh. It’s not greasy, really flavorful and well seasoned. The chicken is always juicy yet crispy. We usually get the general tso’s chicken, house special egg fu young, house special lo mein, shrimp egg rolls, chicken wings and steamed pork dumplings - all of it is soo good, and way better than the last 3 Chinese restaurants in the area that we tried before finding this spot.“

“Most of the negative reviews here actually come from issues with the food delivery service and not necessarily the establishment. Cold food, driver picking up the wrong order, and refusal to refund are all delivery service provider issues and shouldn’t be reflective of the food itself or the restaurant.

We ordered (via Door Dash) pork fried rice, egg rolls, veggie lo mein, curry chicken, General tso’s chicken, and spare ribs. All were hot, delicious, and the portions were gigantic. We were all stuffed and happy by the end of the meal. We order from here often.“

“I come here all the time with my fiancé for a quick bite. I always get the orange chicken but saw the chef had a new dish. It was mango chicken and pineapple fried rice. I tried both and it was so sweet and fresh! The rice was super fresh as well. I actually asked the chef to make me the biggest size since we’re expecting and I had a sweet tooth lol and he went ABOVE AND BEYOND! I love this place so much for the convenience and price.“

“Had bit of shock from price increase,1 quart wonton soup was $5 now over $9 w extra scallions (but only 1/2pack crisps) thought they forgot 2nd,they charge $1extra now). Also the customer service at counter is not great there's a young boy who is not at all personable like really not even in the slightest, and I know there's two ladies who I've seen work neither are super friendly but the one yesterday was not interested at all in customers“

“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 was skeptical about going here so to the bad reviews but it was 2 minutes from my house. Seems like a family owned and run restaurant with children there helping and doing their homework. I ordered the Szechuan chicken with white rice and triple delight with white rice from the house special section and then 2 shrimp egg rolls. I personally thought it was good for fast food Chinese food and also had chicken wings with house special fried rice. I would go back again.“

“Great customer service, and quick turnaround! I recommend ordering by phone, or you might be waiting for a little while if you choose to order in person. The food is always fresh and hot, very delicious, and the prices are amazing. I always get chicken and broccoli with pork fried rice, and it comes with an egg roll!“
