35 Best Chinese Restaurants in Buffalo

“A gem of a restaurant! Everything was fantastic. The won ton soup with their homemade wontons is the best. My wife had garlic chicken, very flavorful. I had Singapore Mei Fun that was great! All this with a free pot of wonderful Chinese tea and 6 orange slices. Awesome service too!“

“Well done Mahar Moe.
The service is fantastic, the place is clean and the food is like nothing you've had at your favorite corner Chinese Restaurant.
The dumplings were so fresh and tasty. House Lo Mein was filled with meat and perfectly cooked noodles. The sweet and sour chicken was juicy and not greasy at all.
They give you a pot a tea to start you meal.
It really is a fantastic place with very reasonable prices and huge portions.“

“HomeTaste is hands-down the best Chinese food I’ve had in Buffalo. Everything was bursting with authentic flavor and came out fast, fresh, and perfectly cooked.

I tried several dishes and loved every one:
The Mapo Tofu with Beef was beautifully spicy and savory with that signature numbing Sichuan heat, perfectly balanced with tender beef and silky tofu. The Egg Tofu was delicate, rich, and lightly crisped on the outside, absolute comfort food! Stir-Fried Green Beans and Cabbage are classics, both dishes were simple but incredibly flavorful. The Chongqi Little Noodles were chewy, spicy, though it is a special, my group agreed that it wasn’t a favorite compared to the other dishes. The Fish Soup with Clear Noodles were light, fragrant, and soothing; a great contrast to the spicier plates.

The food came out quickly, and the service was friendly and attentive. The space is very small, so it’s worth keeping that in mind if you’re planning to dine in, but it adds to the cozy, home-style charm.

If you’re looking for authentic, flavor-packed Chinese cuisine in Buffalo, HomeTaste is an absolute must-visit!“

“The staff here was extra friendly and helpful. They suggested some items that ended up being great choices! The food was ready super quick and we got a cute keychain with our order. Everything was delicious and they didn't skimp on the portions! We will be back!“

“There's no better Chinese food take-out in Western NY. Great quality and quantity. Best prices. Always served hot and it's double packaged to keep it hot until you get home. We love the Sesame chicken and fantastic boneless spare ribs. We go once or twice a month. Food is always hot and ready before the promised wait period. Never had to wait more than 15 minutes from the time you call or order at the counter. Genuine supreme Chinese cooking.... Fast and hot!“

“Food was just OK. I've eaten at many P.F. Chang's and honestly, this is probably my least favorite location. I am from Arizona and was here visiting. It was extremely cold in the restaurant. We noted other people asking to move their seats as well as ourselves. I know our waitress asked for the heat, or I should say the air conditioning to be turned down not quite sure if it ever was while we were there at least our server was very good as she seemed to be waiting on most tables. “

“I've been ordering from here for at least 20 years, even after moving to the suburbs. We love their food! There are a few tables inside, but most customers do takeout or delivery. The shrimp toast, egg rolls, egg foo young (with its yummy gravy), and lo mein are some of our favorites. Consistency is important to me, at this place has offered the most consistently good food. Because it's located on Seneca St, street parking can be spotty, but you never have to park far. Watch out for the fire hydrant half a block down so you don't get yourself a ticket! I often park around the corner on Indian Church Rd.“

“Absolutely amazing Chinese takeaway restaurant. I had General Tsos yesterday and it was the first time I've visited. The chicken was cooked perfectly and great flavor. Lunch specials are perfectly priced and it's great to be able to order off their wesbite. Pictured here is Boneless rib lunch and Szechuan beef lunch.“

“My first time going into the restaurant. Very good meal that was very flavorful! Just a gem tucked away in a small strip mall in Clarence, NY. Be going back there to taste their other menu items!“

“Food has always been delicious every time I go“

“Love the family friendly at-home feel. The food is always made quickly, they always answer the phone quickly and are very kind. I always get an egg roll included with my order. Amazing customer service here, great food, and pretty good prices. I have been going here since 2021. I always get the general tso chicken but the chicken wings are a 10/10 as well. And they use brown rice i love that“

“This is the BEST restaurant in buffalo and my favorite. I've been eating here for 16 years since my high school days at McKinley. Even when I moved to Georgia I always come back to eat here. Theyare the ONLY Chinese restaurant that makes beef and broccoli & crab sticks the the way I like them. ???“

“Still my favorite Chinese food in the city since childhood. Owners changed I think but the food pretty much the same! You know it me smelling like some good food when you pass by there.

Vegetarian options: As all Chinese restaurants they have plenty vegetarian options and they're well labeled

Parking: Good size lot

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps“

“I ordered on the phone and the lady was very nice, I went to get my food and it was good service, waited not a long time and got my food and was so delicious ?, would recommend to go to this Chinese food place, I’m only going to this Chinese food place, it’s the best one I’ve went!!!“

“Best Chinese around, always fresh & hot“

“I took my dinner today. The food was excellent which i will remember long days. The hospitality was awesome. The best food in town.“

“We travel all over the country, and are foodies for sure. 10 ⭐'s.

Egg foo young was awesome
Many more dishes I want to try...
One of the best in the Nation wow !!!
Great family business“

“We finally found a good Chinese Restaurant. Our menu choices were Chicken and broccoli, Egg Fu Yung, and Sweet and Sour Chicken. Great taste, and great portion size for the price. Clean and friendly!“

“As is tradition, my girl and I got some Christmas Chinese food, and this place just happened to be close. I checked the reviews, and I almost skipped this place due to the negative reviews. I wanted to give some fair feedback on both the food and our experience.

First, the service was like most Chinese food spots; food is ready in about 15 minutes. They told me as much, but it only took a little under 10. The woman was very nice and courteous. I have nothing bad to say except..

The price. Most things were a dollar or two more expensive than the menu, and as some other reviews have mentioned, they do skimp a little bit on the protein portions. I understand that everything is expensive now, but I spent $65. On this one issue, I think they could do better.

So how is the food? It's about as good as any other local Chinese place. That's not to disparage them. It's what I expect when I go to these restaurants. I wasn't let down. In fact, I could tell that everything was cooked fresh except the wonton soup. That may have been on the heater a while as the wontons fell apart.

In addition to the Wonton Soup, we ordered General Tso, Beef Lo Mein, Sweet & Sour Pork, and Boneless Spare Ribs. Here's my thoughts on each of them.

-General Tso: It wasn't very crispy, but unlike a lot of places, they do serve it on a bed of broccoli, and the broccoli was perfect. I would otherwise say that this item was mid.

-Beef Lo Mein: This had some of the most tender strips of beef I've ever had in a beef lo mein. This was the real winner 10/10. My main issue was the amount of beef included.

-Boneless Spare Ribs: The strips of ribs were also tender, but I've never had it served on a bed of broccoli, and unlike the General Tso, they covered the entire bottom of the dish with broccoli which lead to far less meat than I would otherwise have gotten. It was very good, but I felt just a little bit gipped.

-Sweet and Sour Pork: These were great and didn't make the ride home. They were crispy, double fried, and delicious. I don't usually dip in sweet and sour sauce, so I have no review on it. The pork balls were good though!

-To sum it up, we had a good experience albeit costly. If I got the same quality for $10-15 less, or just a little more meat for the price paid, I would have given an additional star on all points.

Maybe my experience was different than these other people, or maybe they were expecting fine dining. This ain't that.“

“Go here very often, like once a week sometimes more. Favorite meal is the porked fried rice and chicken. They are fast at answering phone and making the food. They are incredibly polite. I live in walking distance and this is honestly the best Chinese place ever imo.“

“If you are looking for a famed 3 star Chinese place, this is it. You get authentic American Chinese food, and the Father and Son who own/operate the restaurant are polite and friendly.
*Quick disclaimer*
They are Cash Only and don't have indoor dinning.

All in all, a great place for cheap food on the go.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp into the restaurant at the entrance, but the counter is a little high for a wheelchair.“

“By far the best place not only for the prices but food is good and the people are outstanding they are very friendly you don't find this kindness much at chinese takeout I have ordered a couple times and will be a return customer Please keep doing what you do thank you“

“I've been coming here for a few months on end, a d this is HANDS DOWN, very satisfyingly delicious, and professional, they accept all payments, and I am quite the regular....I strongly recommend.. I am a chicken fan so I am more pleased with their cooking of my chicken!! Thank you!!!!“

“I've been going to China Town for some years now. I used to frequent another local Chinese Take-out but an ownership change brought with it meats I was unable to identify.

I found China Town and haven't looked back. I hardly ever vary my orders, but never tire of the food. The BIG take-away from this place is first, you CAN identify what it is you are eating. That's a huge plus for me. Additionally, they provide a good proportional amount of veggies to their dishes, with generous slices of carrots, full broccoli florets, peas, water chestnuts, etc... So healthy is a thing (and yes, you can, and I have, request less sauce in the food).

Tonight I went against the grain and ordered the boneless ribs and white rice, and VERY satisfied. I usually order Cashew Chicken, which is a top notch mixture of meat, veggies and rice.

The owners may not always have time to be social, but they are hard working and seem to really care about putting out a quality dish. I've never used their sit-down area which is a bit on the sparse side, but that's no reflection on the restaurant.

All told I intend to be a customer as long as possible, and will order from them once or twice a week.“

“exceptional service and exceptional food definitely would be ordering again soon.“

“They actually have great Chinese food and it tastes better than other restaurants. This one is the best near the area in my opinion. Chicken wings have flavor, the rice has flavor and so does the brown sauce for the shrimp and broccoli. Overall great quality food.“

“Very fast, very yummy Asian-American food at reasonable prices. They use Styrofoam "clamshell" containers, which I'm not a fan of (the old foldout boxes are better), but the portions are generous and they tend to be ready faster than they tell you (I only ever buy 1 or 2 dishes, they always say "5 minutes" and it's already done when I'm counting the last of minute 4). Staff are efficient and not discourteous. And the location is pretty convenient for the east side of Buffalo. Parking hasn't been an issue yet.“

“Food was actually some of the better Chinese food that I’ve had in Buffalo. I got chicken lo mein, fried chicken rice, orange chicken, and vegetable spring rolls and everything was very good. Orange chicken were large chicken chunks. Lo mein very good and the fried chicken rice was very good was yellow rice and really liked it. Service was great and right to the point. Atmosphere was horrible but this is mostly a takeout place so it’s not supposed to be the most fine decor.“

“Miss Hot Cafe is going to be your new favorite place. This is my #1 go-to whenever I have visitors in town. The service is always fast, friendly, and we have only once experienced a wait. Our favorite dishes are the Spicy Chili Lamb, Shanghai dumplings, and Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. (They have a very long menu ranging from the traditional Americanized Chinese food menu items to authentic and unrecognizable.) Highly, highly recommend! Thank you Miss Hot!“

“Hidden gem in the commons. Why even get food from CDS anymore? They’ll fill your box up unlike One World, half of what they give you here for around the same price. What I got here is like $12. And the food is pretty decent. Here’s how you save money.“

“We live about two minutes away off of North Forest and have tried every Chinese restaurant from the golf course on Maple to Williamsville North and all of Main Street Williamsville. This is OUR FAVORITE! The food is always steaming hot, consistent every time. We typically get general sous, crab ragoon, chicken lo Maine, and shrimp egg rolls and they never disappoint! The owner/workers are always super pleasant as well!“

“Food isn't that bad never really gotten anything bad from here the only thing i have got 1 time was overcooked fried shrimp one time from here.. other than that they're not bad they said they were open today why aren't they answering their phone? Anyway they're always pleasant on the phone they deliver on time and their food isn't that bad so I don't know why they're getting bad reviews.. they could be better but they're not as bad as what the people are saying.“

“local restaurant with consistency in food quality. I've been a customer for many years and I've never had a problem here.“

“If you are vegetarian or vegan this is probably the best Chinese restaurant in the area. Many options, most you won't find anywhere else. You will probably want to order to go. No ambience, but good affordable (compared to anywhere else) food.“

“Ordered through doordash, I ordered beef and scallops, sesame chicken and boneless spare ribs. Ribs were fantastic and flavorful. The sesame chicken is always good (could use more sesame seeds), the beef and scallops was where you lost a star. Both the beef and scallops could have been cooked a little longer. Maybe fry the scallops.“
