35 Best Chinese Restaurants in Buffalo

“Update on second visit: beef with onions and scallions and eggplant and wonton soup and Kung Pao shrimp alllllll very tasty. Looking forward to third visit. Highly recommended: I think this place is right up there with Home Taste, also on Delaware, for best authentically-Chinese food in Western New York. And they have "American Chinese" food for your friends who are not as adventurous as you. Plenty of space, attentive service without rushing, at least at lunch. Sliced fish with Chili Oil tender and properly spicy; Cumin Beef strongly flavored as it should be. Ham Hock with brown sauce (and bok Choy) tender and flavorful. Green beans a little al dente and crunchy inside while being singed on the outside. Will return!“

“Just had lunch at this restaurant again and cannot say enough regarding the cleanliness, excellent service and most of all the food - please try this restaurant - I know you'll love everything about it!“

“This place has the best minced pork buns out of ANYWHERE else, I challenge you to find one better.
Genuine and family owned. This was and always has been a wonderful experience to eat at! I’d encourage you to try something new here at Home Taste ❤️“

“Best local Chinese restaurant as voted by friends that live closer to others. Service is always prompt and friendly, and the food is reliably good. I've never been served an incorrect order or been disappointed. Take-out only, so atmosphere takes a hit.“

“Great Customer service!! They accidently overcharged me yesterday and I didn't even know. My husband ordered and I was just picking it up....THEY noticed and called me the next day and asked me to come back in so they can refund me!! They could have kept my $26 but didn't. Plus the food is ALWAYS good!“

“Danial was our waiter & he was super friendly & accommodating and our food was delicious.
Our only issue was the room temperature was not comfortable. We all put our jackets on shortly after we were seated. It’s Nov 1st, time to put the heat on!“

“The pork fried rice is hearty and has 3 or 4 times as much pork as other restaurants put in. It has egg and is probably more authentic than others.“

“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!“

“I have been going here since I was a child. Beef and broccoli is the only thing I order and it is always delicious. They used to be cash only but now they accept cards. Lunch is affordable at around $10 a lunch special. Highly recommend if you want good Chinese food in South Buffalo.“

“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!“

“I’ve been temporarily in the area, and this is where I’ve dined for the past week.

After 3pm they serve out bbq pork ribs and a few other good meats. The ribs aren’t that tender but they get the job done, they do go light on the bbq sauce but you can ask the woman on the grill and she’ll serve you more.

In overall this is one of the best chinese buffets I’ve visited.“

“I have been "chasing a high" of crispy General Tso's with a specific style sauce and fried rice for a handful of years. I came across this location and had to try the General Tso's. NIRVANA! I had finally found the sauce/crispy combo I had been searching for that I was used to eating growing up in Eastern Erie County. The staff are nice, food is quick and I like sitting at the table looking out the window while I enjoy lunch. It's one dish, to my preferences, but I'd recommend you trying it!“

“we love Star Garden. The food is always hot, fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean.“

“We travel all over the country, and are foodies for sure. 10 ⭐'s.
Shrimp egg roll awesomeness, texture was chewy, fresh homemade dough.
Egg foo young was awesome
Many more dishes I want to try...
One of the best in the Nation wow !!!
Great family business“

“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“

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

“We have been ordering regularly from Golden Dragon ever since the new owners took over.The service is friendly and amazingly quick.Food is always tasty, fresh and hot.I am greeted in a friendly manner by name on the phone, and when I stop by to pick up my order.The kitchen is clean and always busy...two good signs.Pay no attention to mean spirited and ignorant reviewers.This is a great neighborhood addition.I gave it 3 stars for atmosphere as this is mainly a takeout place, though there are a few tables.Steve K“

“I am very surprised at the quality of their food after reading the reviews, but my experience was great.The fool was fresh came out fast and was really good Boneless beer ribs with fried rice
I don't understand why egg rolls do not come with the combos anymore“

“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!!!“

“I went for the Chicken ? Gizzards, and they were so good. I'm going back to try a different Dish.

Vegetarian options: It's a great opinion just about all dishes that can be ordered as Vegetarian.

Parking: Lots of space“

“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. ???“

“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.“

“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.“

“I enjoy the lunch special white rice with vegetables but that's here and there with garlic sauce mixed in. The one woman and the older man I believe they're the owners and are cordial. So far so good no issues with me or my orders in the past or present.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“They are good on most times I get my food from Panda. They are not cheap with the size of the dishes and they are always smiling. I cant say there aren't things they can do better, but they way they are now is enough for me to say that I am a regular.“

“Very affordable chinese food. The best value are their combos. Sadly, there is no sitting table at all. No form of automated payment, cash only. There are no bathrooms for the customers.

Parking: Street parking. Caution ⚠️, look at date and time restrictions.

Wheelchair accessibility: None.“

“This Chinese take-Out happens to be the best in Buffalo New York!! The food & flavors are all in order. Definitely affordable. I order from this place 3 times a week! 12yrs I have been ordering in total & i have not once complained about anything they make. It's a family owned location & the owner is Definitely on point with a positive attitude everytime I come to pick up my order. So if your searching for that amazing taste of Chinese cuisine this place has it all.“

“Best local Chinese food around. Super friendly every time I go in and the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. This place is my new go-to. I order online and it’s always ready in about 10-15 minutes.“

“After looking at some photos of the food and seeing how it’s similar to my family’s restaurant, I decided to give it a try. It’s amazing! Tastes like home. For a cheap price, they’ll fill your box up to the top and leave you full and satisfied. Highly recommend checking this place out! I’ll definitely come back for more.“
