50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Glendale

“The food here is extremely tasty, it's very fresh, savory, and well balanced. I highly recommend the chef special Crispy Chicken. It's a family owned business, so if you want to support your local neighborhood restaurant, I recommend here. 💕😊“

“I only get takeout from Joyo in Glendale, and it’s always great. The food is fresh, packed well, and ready on time. The beef dishes are especially good—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. Sushi is solid too. Quick, reliable, and delicious every time.“

“I might be a little biased towards King Wok. I've been a loyal customer for over 20 years. The woman who answers the phone has improved her communication in English ten fold. The service is always cordial and the foods are served fast and hot ?My go-to Chinese take-out.“

“Sweet Rice offers an excellent takeout experience with prompt service, carefully packed meals, and consistent quality. The food arrives fresh, warm, and ready to enjoy, with attention to detail in every order. The staff is friendly, and the ordering process is seamless, making it a reliable choice for a satisfying meal at home. Highly recommended for convenient and delicious takeout!“

“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.“

“Chi Restaurant & Bar is incredible! We came in with a large party and they accommodated us perfectly, which meant we got to try almost everything on the menu. The food tasted totally authentic, yet somehow still fresh and fun. Seriously, it felt like every single dish we ordered topped the last one! The duck was absolutely fantastic, and the dim sum and veggies were just as amazing. Whatever you do, definitely don’t skip out on the cute desserts at the end. It's an awesome spot for a group dinner with top-tier food.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“A calm and pleasant spot for lunch.

I came during the afternoon and the place was quiet.
The staff was very friendly and even asked how the meal was at the end.
Note: It’s self-service.

Food: The hand-pulled noodles and broth were fresh and excellent.
The fried side dish was crispy and flavorful.
Drink: The iced black tea with mango was light and very refreshing.
Tip: As you can see in the video - the portions are very generous.
I recommend ordering a small size because I couldn’t finish it.

Seating: I sat by the window facing the street. It was nice to eat and watch Broadway at the same time.
There’s also an inner bar table closer to the kitchen.
The place is clean and the surrounding area feels calm and safe.

Price: Very affordable and filling.
This was my first time trying authentic Chinese food and I was pleasantly surprised.
Highly recommend and worth saving for a real local meal.“

“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.“

“#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“

“Great dining experience for hot pot.“

“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.“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“What a great find!!! Place was cool inside, food was yummy, we liked it a lot. Staff were friendly and nice. We will definitely go back.“

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

“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.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Decoration is awesome, food quality is No.1👍👍“

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

“My God… Chongqing Lao Zao might be the best Chinese hot pot I’ve ever had. And if you’ve seen my other reviews, you know I’ve eaten at A LOT of hot pot places. 😂 This one seriously impressed me.

The entrance is actually pretty small and very easy to miss, but once you walk through that door… WOW. It feels like you just stepped into a Chinese palace. The decorations, the details, the atmosphere—everything is beautiful. Before we even started eating, I was already walking around looking at everything.

Then there’s the service. Next level. The servers were so attentive that they basically wouldn’t let us lift a finger. 😂 Plates cleared, broth checked, food taken care of—they were always there without making us feel rushed. That kind of service really changes the whole experience.

And of course, the hot pot itself was incredible. Rich, authentic flavors and exactly what I want when I’m craving real Chinese hot pot. Great food is one thing, but when you combine it with this atmosphere and this level of service, it becomes an experience.

I review a lot of hot pot restaurants and usually can find at least one thing I would change. This time, I really can’t.

Small door outside, palace inside. 👏🔥🍲 Easy 5 stars. One of my new favorite hot pot experiences, period.“

“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.“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

“Excellent foods from the appetizer to the main courses.“

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

“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!“

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

“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“

“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 😄😛😋“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“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.“
