50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Fairview

“The best Chinese food ! The fried chicken wings are the best I have ever had. The vegetable lo mein is made up of mix of all vegetables. Most places use only broccoli and mushrooms. This place uses the best variety of vegetables. Super GOOD“

“I've been a loyal customer of Fairview Chinese Takeout since 2017, and the food has been consistently delicious every single time. Whether it's the fried rice, lo mein, General Tso's chicken, or any of their other dishes, everything is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care.

What truly sets this place apart is the outstanding customer service. A special thank you to Ada, who always takes exceptional care of our orders. She is friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is correct and that we have a great experience. Her kindness and professionalism keep us coming back year after year.

After nearly a decade of ordering from Fairview Chinese Takeout, I can confidently say they are one of the best around. Great food, excellent service, and wonderful people. Highly recommended!“

“This being the third time I've eaten there, I can understand why they call themselves No. 1 or No One.Each one of the different plates I've order for take out is better than other local fast food Chinese restaurants in the area; that could be why they call themselves No. 1. The General Tsao is just the right amount of spicy and a good size portion for their asking price.Now if you play with words and notice their name can also mean No One, here is how I justify that name. Their open area restaurant and kitchen means you can see them cooking and how your food is prepared. Besides being quick to prepare your dish, the area is clean, well organized, and staffed. During the covid period they had put in place a intercom system where you ordered from the outside and clearly spoke with the counterperson Plus it's one of the only fast food Chinese restaurant in the area that accepts debit credit cards with the minimum purchase of course. Therefore the name No One basically means they're unique for a local Chinese fast food restaurant.They have my business until things change but I recommend them and I'm certain you will like the food and how they cook the dishes plus the service is adequate for a local fast food restaurant. Good job earning my business No. 1, looking forward to trying other dishes on your menu.“

“This place is a hidden gem and has been here for as long as I can remember. The food is awesome and must say are never cheap with the portions either. Everything I had was always tastes great and also customer service is A1. Had a small incident with delivery which took a little long owner remade my food and helped me solve the situation real quick!!!! Love this place and thank you for the great food and service“

“Good food and delivery is fast“

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“I was absolutely starving and this place saved me! The prices are very affordable and the portions match those prices. I got a medium fish ball rice roll bowl (oyster sauce flavor). I got all the sauces on it, per recommendation of the cashier.
Spicy, sweet, and savory all at once. I’m usually not a fan of fish balls but these swayed me.

As a native New Yorker I am weary of viral restaurants but this one is WORTH THE HYPE. I forgot to take a before picture but I definitely have the after! Delicious.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at CHI Restaurant & Bar! We tried the cucumber salad, spring roll trio, black garlic octopus, truffle beef tenderloin, mashed eggplant with peppers, and stir-fried cabbage with pork. The crispy cereal prawns with golden egg silk were a highlight—a fun combination of shrimp and crunchy toppings.

Save room for dessert! The milk tea cloud cake was adorable, and the raspberry lychee tart topped with colorful macarons was almost too cute to eat. A lovely spot to share several dishes with friends!“

“Loved the ambience in this great little find! Having traveled to Sichuan province, I can attest that the food really has authentic flavors (albeit kinder to the American palette). The Juju cocktail is outstanding. Would definitely come back to this place try other dishes.“

“#豬肉腸加芫荽蔥 豬肉腸➕芫荽蔥係我一向響一記嘅叫法，暫時一記整嘅呢隻味道我已經食得好滿足，我唔需要轉住。😆  #一記 #nyc“

“Spicy Village was a wonderful place to have a Christmas meal! Actually, I'd like to rename it "Spicy Cozy Village" if a spicy environment can also be cozy! To start with, they were very gracious by accepting a reservation for 8 people at 6:00. Then they came outside and took our order even before we sat down and so the food was nearly ready by the time we had taken our coats off! The festivities kicked off with a plate of crispy peanuts, which ended up being the chosen appetizer, main course, and dessert for the little guy in our party. We then progressed to delicious dumplings, sesame chicken, spicy lamb huimei, and other delectable specialties! What was so amazing about the experience is that despite packing lots of people into a relatively small square foot area, it did not feel claustrophobic at all; rather it was comfortable and cozy, like sitting at a big table for a family meal at your house (even if it was take-out!!). Overall, Spicy Village was a terrific place for Christmas dinner - and I'm strongly considering coming back here for the 8 days of Hanukkah too!“

“Local favorite. Can’t go wrong. It’s not cheap, but worth it. I’d pass on the scallion pancakes. They barely have scallion or scallion flavor. But my main gripe is please hire competent behind the POS. Why am I asking 2 and 3 times if an order was received? Why are you answering “hello?” Instead of Handpulled Noodle? And why are you saying the restaurant is on 148th? Lol it’s in on Broadway between 148th and 149th. Just a very bizarre experience on a Friday night.“

“I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile. I finally went on a Saturday afternoon with a buddy and we were blown away. To clarify, the entrance is NOT the 2 Bridge Mall; if you turn around you’ll see the other mall across the street but it’s boarded up. You have to go to the side entrance. You’ll see a piece of paper on a door that says east Broadway mall side entrance (I took a picture).

Once you go inside there’s a security guard at a wooden podium. To the right of him is a set of stairs and once you go down to the basement you can find it. I think we made a right turn and then it’s to the right lol. I don’t remember exactly but it’s down there I promise. *Pro Tip: bring cash unless you feel like paying a $4.75 ATM fee.

We each got an order of 6 steamed buns for $5.50. These things are huge and loaded with meat and flavor. Absolutely delicious. Heaven. They’re so good you don’t even need to dip it in the sauce. My only regret is not buying an extra order for later. $5.50 for 6 is great.“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“Came here with a friend and we went a bit overboard, ordering 6 items. For the portion sizes and quality in NYC, this is a solid deal.
Steamed Pot Chicken Soup: The star of the show. Clear, incredibly savory broth. It comes with a bowl of rice, making it perfect for a cold day.
Pu'er Chili Beef Tripe & Pu'er Chili Ox Aorta: These two were the ultimate rice killers. The tea-infused chili oil is fragrant and spicy, and both the tripe and aorta had a perfect crunch.
Smoked Pork Slices (Neck): Great char and flavor. The meat was tender with that signature neck crunch, and the dipping sauce was excellent.
Dai Style Green Papaya Salad w. Shrimp: A much-needed palate cleanser. Fresh, tangy, and the shrimp were decently sized.“

“Solid stuff but not as mind blowing as the other reviews say (though this depends if you’ve had good Chinese food before).

Fish was solid but a little too heavy on the batter to fish ratio. Eggplant was simple but good. The silken tofu was really solid texturally - might’ve been the standout dish for our meal.“

“tried the salty Duck egg fried rice with shrimp and it was full of flavor. must try!“

“The pineapple pork bun at Mei Lai Wah is an absolute masterclass in contrasting textures and unapologetic flavors.
It is a heavy, comforting contradiction a hot, savory meat filling locked inside a sugary, crisp pastry shell. Because both the cookie crust and the barbecue glaze lean heavily into sugar, it is an intense flavor bomb. It can feel incredibly rich or even one-note after a while, but when you catch one fresh and steaming straight out of the oven, it is the ultimate sweet-and-savory comfort food.“

“Delicious food and great service. First time I went I ordered the salted egg yolk lobster and crunchy pork ribs (10/10 would recommend both). Second time the service was great and I chatted with Su who was very friendly and she gave me a lot of recommendations for other spots to check out in NYC. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Manhattan right now!“

“Was pretty excited to see this place right next to my hotel. Ate twice before I left back home. 🍜 ramen was amazing“

“Really enjoy this place. Food comes out fast, and it's always fresh and spicy, if you like a kick, this is a solid spot for it.

Only gripe: white rice costs extra. Come on, it's rice! Docking one point for that alone.

4/5 stars, would still recommend.“

“Ma po tofu (with meat, the women sitting next to us got it with mushroom and we felt so fortunate we stuck to the classic because they were complaining about the flavor), garlic string beans, fried rice, Dan Dan noodles. Can’t go wrong with their version of the classics.“

“Incredible Food. Incredibly attentive and professional staff. Instant favorite.“

“Shrimp with crispy peppers and peanuts and pork cooked in soy sauce with egg“

“Got to enjoy the exceptional tasting menu just two days after they opened. The inventiveness at work here is matched by the execution. While the cuisine is much different, the sheer delight of it reminded me of my first time years ago at Charlie Trotter's. We went back the next day just to sit at the bar after a show and enjoy the unusual, and unusually good, wine-based cocktails.

July 2026 update: We recently returned and once again enjoyed an exceptional meal via their tasting menu.“

“By Antidote was an absolute treat! We got the Century Egg w/ Burrata Cheese, Tea-Smoked Duck Fried Rice, Crab Tofu, Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, Green Peppercorn Fish Stew, Mapo Tofu, and Spicy Cumin Lamb.

The first three were easily my favorite dishes, although I feel like the Crab Tofu could use a bit more flavor. The Green Peppercorn Fish Stew was yum but not amazing in my opinion. The Mapo Tofu and Spicy Cumin Lamb were tasty but definitely way too spicy for me lol.

This spot is a must-go for great Chinese fusion cuisine.“

“This is a very local restaurant.
It doesn't have fancy decor, nor does it serve mind-blowing dishes with flavors you can't find anywhere else.
However, their food is very wholesome and down-to-earth, without the heavy oils or excessive salt used to aggressively hook a customer's palate.
The prices are also very affordable—I imagine people working nearby frequent this place often.
I'm a delivery truck driver, and whenever I pass through this area, I make sure to stop by.
The elderly owner is Taiwanese and extremely kind, and they also employ some Spanish staff. The overall work atmosphere is wonderful, and I'm certain the owner treats them very well. Dining here gives you a sense of peace that you just can't find anywhere else.
You shouldn't go out of your way just to eat here, but if you happen to be passing by, you definitely have to drop in and check it out.“

“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“

“Fresh and homemade Chinese food. An amazing cheff, cooking with passion and love. Highly recommended 💯“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“Really enjoyed this place! The restaurant is very clean, the food is delicious, and the prices are quite reasonable. The noodles are especially authentic and taste just like the real thing. Great quality for the price, and definitely a place I’d come back to!“

“I used Trip Advisor to get me here and everything reviewers had said was true. Authentic Sichuan food and, for a person like myself, dining solo, a great appetizer menu. I was happy to take the server’s recommendations and they were right. And for midtown Manhattan it was reasonably priced.

Delicious“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“I highly recommend their famous pork spicy appetizer. It was our 4th times in this place. I would say their meat is high quality because you can tell from the flavor itself. This is our couples favorite Sichuan place. Tonight, we tried SeaBass Mala it was delicious but too spicy but we’ve finish it 😄😛😋“

“After years, congee village is still the best restaurant in the Chinatown area. Authentic and made-to-order food, very large portion (and relatively clean comparing to other Chinatown restaurants) You can tell dishes are made in house with top tier ingredients.

We don’t come here often, like twice pee year but since 10 years ago while the taste is consistent over years.“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“I great food and service. High quality land authentic.“

“Ate there yesterday for the first time. What a find! The food is excellent, staff is wonderful, pricing is great. I loved how clean everything was. Enjoy!“

“The restaurant was bustling when I got to the restaurant at 9pm which was a great sign. The place is an upscaled Chinese restaurant but still maintain the casual vibe with great Chinese decor. I got the chilled tofu, chili wonton, and chili crab noodles. The restaurant was gracious enough to also gifted me the snow pea shoots and the mango pudding as a palette cleanser. Chilled tofu was interesting, especially with the crunchy veggies and the creamy sesame-soymilk foam, very light but also flavourful at the same time. The chili wonton was surprising actually spicy which is a welcome surprise. The chili crab noodle was very tasty. The noodle was not overcooked and you can see pieces of crab meat in the dish. The mango pudding was great to end the night with, not too sweet and very refreshing. Overall highly recommended. The price of the dish was what I expected for New York but definitely a sharing portion size since I ended up with lots to take home.“

“Stopped by for a quick lunch, waited in line longer than I would have liked to since I had to get back to buisness. Ordered a Shrimp & Chives and a pork and chives. Food was very good, the sauces made the meal. The shell of the dumplings were nice and thin so it made the filling shine through. If it wasn't for the long wait I'd say it was great.“

“The food was super fresh and delicious! Service was great and my husband had one of the most interesting cocktails I’ve ever tasted! Reasonable prices as well.“

“We had such an amazing dinner here!
Thanks to the servers and the chefs on Aug 27
The food was delicious- you should probably get the dim sum platter, lo mein is perfect as well
The place itself has nice indoor zone and it’s easy to talk there“

“Tasty food with superb prices as well as attentive, friendly service. delectable soup dumplings with juicy tender meat wrapped in a chewy doughy wrapper are so appetizing.... I also love the location of the restaurant.“

“Great prices for delicious food. I see why Guy Fieri has come here three times. The noodles are perfectly imperfect and the flavors are spot on. The only questionable thing about the place is that the duck is served bone-in which brought down my wife's enjoyment of her dish“
