14 Best Chinese Restaurants in Santa Fe

“This resto on the second floor of a little mall off the Plaza is a real find. This is not Americanized Chinese food, but the real deal. That also means really spicy, so beware if you can't handle the heat. My friend and I enjoyed fried gyoza (nothing spectacular, but very good), dan dan noodles (a bit mild but still good), and spicy wonton salad. This salad I'd never had before, but was the best part. For one, it has a spicy kick like a bucking bronco. Not for the weak-kneed. Wontons were huge, too. \n\nThe restaurant is pretty basic tables and chairs. There is some seating in the atrium of the mall, too. Nothing fancy at all--they put all their effort into the food! Service was extremely friend, and even the chef came out to talk to my friend (who's Singaporean). It's a wonderful gem in downtown Santa Fe.“

“I never would have expected to find the best Chinese food I’ve ever eaten, in Santa Fe, but that’s just what happened. From the dumpling sauce to the flavors in both dishes we ordered, it far exceeded anything I’ve even had anywhere else. Just be careful of the heat index. The two chillis symbol on the menu was very hot, and I like hot food, so just be careful.“

“Must visit during Santa Fe trip! We needed a break from the chiles and beans, and this was the perfect addition to our trip. We ordered the Spicy Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Kung Pao Tofu, and Vegetable Pan Fried Dumplings. I had a group of three and we shared everything. The homemade dumpling wrapper and noodles were both excellent - chewy and cooked perfectly. The beef broth was light but flavorful. The kung pao tofu was a light offset to the soup. The staff were extremely friendly and hospitable. Would recommend to locals and out of towners!“

“This place is ALWAYS empty when I go which is a shame because it is hands down the best Chinese food I've ever had. The hunan flower basket it a top notch dish but so is their fried rice. Its flavorful and perfect. The Hunan is pretty spicy but I love it. The shrimp with lobster sauce is decadent. Their appetizers are also all delicious. Hands down the best Chinese food I've ever had in my life.“

“I ordered and picked up a selection of items today and they were ALL amazing!! Every bite!“

“Food is absolutely delicious!! True to Soul Food. I am visiting from Louisiana for work. I was afraid I wasn't going to find good Soul Food cooking here. Someone in my office recommended this place and they did not disappoint!! I got the catfish and fries. Everything was absolutely delicious! The service was amazing as well! I will definitely be back to try everything on their menu! I am one happy Country Girl!! Thank you!!“

“구글에서 검색을 하면, 식당 카테고리에는 ‘Chinese Restaurant’로 분류 되어 있지만 실상은 한국, 일본, 중국음식의 장점이 잘 녹아있는 식당입니다. 기본 베이스는 중식으로 되어 있지만, 미국내에서 파는 일반 가정식 식당과는 달리 덜 짜고, 기름기가 절제되어 있습니다. 역겨울 수 있는 향신료 냄새도 덜 납니다.(이 부분은 개인적 취향입니다.) 가장큰 장점은 질좋은 재료를 사용했지만 가격이 저렴하다는 것입니다. 한국 특산물인 김치를 오리지널로 맛 볼 수 있습니다.“

“great and affordable, professional staff, no long waits, beautiful restaurant.“

“Friendly service and amazing delicious food!!! Definitely will be going back next time we're in Santa Fe.“

“Wonderful food, and the owner is so kind. We got takeout, and everything was delicious. We loved the dumplings, buns, bibimbap, scallion pancakes, and zucchini pockets. We will be back to try more!“

“Very good food“

“Service was super fast almost too fast . I know that sounds like a complaint .
Meaning I don’t think the eggroll or egg drop soup was made fresh .
I got the king pao chicken and it was out in less than five minutes . Pretty salty over all
Very Americanized Chinese food , essentially made to please Americans . Where’s the authenticity“

“I just had to take a moment to recognize Eduardo over at Panda Express in the DeVargas Mall, he is absolutely amazing! He’s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. Every time I visit, he’s incredibly attentive, genuine, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome. He radiates kindness and positivity, and it truly makes the whole dining experience better.“

“Food was great. I called in my order on July 16, 2025. I went in for my order and filled my cup with ice and water. By the time I drove home my ice had melted. I live in Las Vegas NM. Long story short. I found a small piece of glass in my cup. I thought it was a small piece of ice. But after I pulled it out. Yes, it was a piece of glass.
You might want to clean out your ice machine and replace the ice.“
