41 Best Chinese Restaurants near Salem

“big portions. delish and so many choices,“

“This place is phenomenal. As someone who's eating Chinese food from many locations a lot of places have gone downhill and this place has stayed true to the quality you'd expect. Specifically talking about the shrimp and lobster sauce consistency and flavor is the best out of anyone other restaurant I've had around the area including Haverhill Mass. The rice is always fresh and has a nice flavor to it“

“The size of portion is huuugee!
Not the healthy option but very delicious. One box last me two meals!
Tho, I would not recommend getting a drink in a cup since you can deffinetely taste the chlorene. Maybe time to change the water filters?“

“I have eaten here over the years and several times since the new ownership change happened over the past year. The food was always very good though new ownership took it to another level! Last ordered beef broccoli, white rice, crab rangoon and chicken fingers. Everything was excellent. I have tried a couple other places in the local area close to Mei Hoo and my crab rangoons had barely any filling, disappointing of course. This is not just another Chinese restaurant but rather a customer oriented premium Chinese restaurant operated by people that care!“

“The sushi here is incredibly fresh, and after visiting many places, this small family-owned restaurant still ranks at the top of my list. Every roll is tightly made, the ingredients are fresh, and the sauces are perfectly balanced. They truly know how to turn good sushi into great sushi.“

“Best Chinese I’ve ever had! My husband and I love Sun Sun!“

“The best Chinese food I have ever had! My son and myself are remembered and they always ask how the family is doing. Great welcoming, great staff and absolutely delicious food! Well done Lee Chen. You know we'll be back. After all this talk we will be going there for dinner tonight!“

“Really great lo mein (lots of mushrooms! big surprise!) and pretty good crab rangoons“

“We love eating out. Yesterday we went to this fine place which we didn’t know before. We had a lovely evening there with fine food and a nice team and an impressive chef. We put this place in our phone list and we will surely come back soon. We highly recommend.“

“The customer service was excellent, everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Jackie especially stood out, he was super kind, helpful, and made the visit even better. The food was fresh and came out quickly. Overall, I’ll definitely be coming back again.“

“BY FAR THE BEST TASTING FOOD I'VE HAD IN YEARS!!! OH MY GOODNESS...THE EGGROLL TASTED LIKE IT WAS FRESH FOOD...NOT FROZEN...SMELLED INCREDIBLE!! I USUALLY DONT EAT THE RICE BUT OMG...IT WAS FRESH AND I DEVOURED IT!! THE EGG FOO YUNG WAS INCREDIBLE!!! EVERYTHING TASTED FRESH MADE!! HUGE PORTION, AT LEAST 2 MEALS TOO!!! LOOKED UNDER CONSTRUCTION BUT ABSOLUTELY BEST IVE EATEN IN YEARS!!
WHAT A TREAT!! TY“

“Let me just say… Wow. Never in my entire life had I eaten such a delicious meal. The flavors are more than simple condiments, but a careful and considerate dedication to the true nature of Chinese food. People, these guys know what’s up.“

“Absolute brilliant Chinese, never had a bad meal from here, 100% best around, highly recommend“

“It is basically a take out place with a few tables of you want to eat there. I always get a luncheon or dinner plate for myself unless I’m having my son and his family over then I order off the menu.
I love egg foo young and they give you 2 omelets instead of one .
My husband got the beef and broccoli and he said the beef was tender .
And we got an egg roll for a apppetizer.
You can’t go wrong with the luncheon and dinner plates . While I waiting for my order about 5 people came in and did a pick up and that was 12:30 pm“

“It’s cost more than standard Chinese take out, but well worth the treat once in a while“

“Best dumplings around and they have large portions!“

“China wok is the only restaurant I’ve ever been to that gets it right & is 10/10 100% of the time. The staff is fantastic. The food is just as amazing. I moved away a few years back and I constantly crave & miss their food. Their crab rangoon is truly unmatched & I’ve yet to find anyone’s who comes close. If you have the ability to stop in, please do it for those of us previously loyal customers that cannot!“

“Overall excellent!

Tonight was only our second time here, both times we have had takeout. I returned today because the first time the food was delicious and a good price.

First time late April 2026 we had lunch and two of us split: General Gau's chicken with white rice (sauce was the right amount of spicy and nicely sweet, and there was enough sauce to eat most of the rice with it), chicken fingers (fresh and perfect), and a spring roll (tasty, but has shrimp and mushrooms which I discovered just before I took the last bite to my surprise).

Second time, May 22, 2026, dinner for 3 people: General Gau's chicken with white rice (I had to get it again and it was just as good as the first time), spring roll (for my husband this time), and 2 All Day Specials which each have a variety of appetizers with pork fried rice. Everything was fresh, hot, fast, and tasty!

Both times we only found one other car in the parking lot. I don't know how busy the restaurant gets, but that would never deter me from getting takeout here. My husband and I don't usually eat out at restaurants, so our decision to do takeout is no reflection on the restaurant. I would definitely eat there in the restaurant someday if the occasion arose.“

“I spent 2,5 years looking for good chinese food, I finally found a place 6 months ago. But Li's blows them out of the water. Absolutely fantastic food. Amazingly nice workers. And the food is extremely consistent and tastes homemade.

Iwould rate them 6 stars if I could.“

“By Far The Best Chinese food in the Merrimack Valley! United with their Exceptional customer service and Delicious Chinese Cuisine. Their food always hits the spot. For just $21 with delivery included they Bless you with a Combination plate that can feed three people!
Thank you“

“The food is fresh and their service is great. Prices are on point. A must try if you are in the Methuen area.“

“amazing food one of the best meals I've had. 😋 😍 5 stars“

“I came to eat here right before they opened. I was the first customer of the day and despite all of the bad reviews, I thought this place was really good! The food quality is acceptable and comfortable. I dined in with my gf and the service was quick. I thought the staff was going to run into a few bumps cause they literally just opened when I arrived but they proved me wrong. Sushi came out fast and delicious despite there only being one dude too. Would definitely come again to dine in or even take out!“

“I thought the food was good.“

“I've been going here for over 10 years. I love the crab rangoon. And all the food. But , they must spend a fortune in printing menus because they always charge you more than what the menu says and then they tell you that the menu is old. I'm posting a picture of two menus that I just got in the past month. Another picture is what I just got online, I took a screenshot. And it also says that the menu was updated 2 days ago. So if the menu was updated two days ago and as you can see in the picture it says $10 minimum for Visa or MasterCard. When I get there she says it's a $15 minimum for Visa or MasterCard. So she charges me an extra dollar. Besides the fact, that I was charged more than the price of the menu I just got last week. And she says don't you have any cash? I said no. She always asks for cash. And then she up charges me. She's a little tiny lady with a sweet little voice. But also a very big scam artist. I always support local businesses. But I do not support you taking my hard earned money out of my pocket. And then saying oh well. After over 10 years I'm done. There's plenty of other places to go. If you try to call her out on her scamming, she say to leave now. I don't need that kind of drama.“

“So we had a long day. My dad had a stroke so I had spent the last two days driving back and forth to boston. We have 2 kids and we did not want to cook We wanted some Chinese food and decided on lucky panda. We had placed our order with grub hub at 525 which was a mistake. Grub hub delayed our order 3x. After 2nd delay I called lucky panda to see if the order was finished and it was. I informed the girl on the phone that I would be there in 15 mins to pick it up because grub hub had now delayed our order for the third time. And wouldn't be here until 730 after an initial 630 delivery eta. We informed grub hub to return our delivery fees as we would be picking up our order. 10 mins into my drive lucky panda called and said grub hub had just picked up our food and they were trying to save me a hassle which i greatly appreciated. Lucky panda exceeded our customer service expectations and we will be definitely be going back because even though grub hub delivered the food late and some of it was cold it was still tasty after heating it up. Thanks again to the staff for trying to help us out tonite.“

“Best asian food great service 5 stars ⭐️“

“Amazing fresh food. Best staff!!! New Hit id Haverhill!!“

“Fu Hing's is singularly the BEST Chinese food in the area, and I have had just about all of them from Newburyport to Boston. I have been desperate for decent takeout since I moved to Massachusetts from NYC, and most of what I've tried within a 40-minute drive from my house has been inedible. Fu Hing's is 8 minutes from me and everything they make is delicious. Special shout-out to their egg rolls, lo mein, and dumplings. I literally cannot believe how much better the food was than anywhere else in a 50 mile radius.“

“Love the combo plates. Everything was delicious and very prompt. Would definitely recommend!😋👍“

“I come from Lowell where there is Chinese food all over the place. To find a chi a star reminds me of home. Also my daughter has an egg allergy along with other items. They must have written down on a note next to our phone number about the allergy because they mentioned it before we did. They had no problem being extra cautious preparing my daughter's plate. That made me feel like they care for their customers like family. I thank them for being about their custo.ers. this will always be out go to spot! Much love China star methuen.“

“Great atmosphere, service, sushi & drinks!“

“So I just got General Gso’s last night and I usually get General TSO’s but I told them mild since I don’t like the spice and whoever sauces them or cooked them , YOU HAD IT PERFECTION!!! It’s been a while since I had them and I was wicked impressed !! Definitely coming back !! Thank you for the food !!“

“Was so happy to see they were open! It was my first time coming here and boy was I happy after my meal! We ended up getting Chicken in blackbean sauce(Absolutely scrumptious!!!), Padthai, schezuan chicken, Peking raviolis, eggplant with veg and a few other things. I believe I have found my new to go Chinese restaurant!!“

“Overall a very tasty, affordable, and reliable spot. Their fried rice is fantastic and most of their dishes are super flavorful. I will say the soups (lack flavor) and tempora (batter is way too thick) isn't to my liking but the rest of their stuff being so good makes it not that important. Their sushi is also quite good.“

“I used to come here as a kid and the food was amazing. I’m happy to say that the food is back to unbelievably well standards!! To everyone wanting to come here, GET….THE…. SALT AND PEPPER WINGS. You won’t regret it.“

“we go there with our family and enjoy it very much. The food is always fresh the service. The hostess are always so polite.“

“We’ve been ordering take out from and going to eat at Wang’s for at least 15 years. They are awesome. Every single time. The food is excellent. Every single time. They remember us and say hello every time we go there. They even recognize us on the phone. I give them ALL the stars. ⭐️“

“Great food including sushi! Friendly staff with longevity. Karaoke Thursday-Saturday 9:30-close. Spacious dining and a killer bar!“

“I ordered two things & was gonna pay in person.
Wasn't aware they didn't take American Express, because it was a gift card given to me as an early Christmas present.
I couldn't take money out at an atm because,well gift card.
Went back cause I didn't want them thinking I disappeared after time was spent towards making the food & I said I couldn't pay for it.
A very nice lady told me it's ok & I can next time.
If you're reading this,thank you very much & Merry Christmas to you!“

“My very first Chinese food experience was Leis garden, way back as a child in the 90's. My parents have been going there since the 80's. Hands down BEST I've ever had, nowhere else compares. I can still taste the tea! The egg rolls are by far the best - and I've lived in several states now. I brought my husband who had never been, and grew up in Florida. He even said it's the best he's ever had, and any time we go back to NH, we choose Leis garden. Fond memories of my parents getting Leis garden almost every Friday night whether it was dine in or take out, always master class.

Kid-friendliness: I spent a lot of my childhood coming here and the staff was always amazing. The Pac Man machine kept us busy!

Parking: Never had an issue parking in my life!“
