19 Best Chinese Restaurants near Manlius

“There are two Chinese food restaurants within walking distance of each other in Manlius. #1 Kitchen, and China Cafe. As someone new to the Manlius area and looking for the best option, I prefer #1 Kitchen. I ordered the same meal from both places; Sesame Chicken, rice, veggie spring roll, and crab Rangoon. #1 Kitchen had better sesame chicken and rice, but China Cafe has better Crab Rangoon and spring rolls. Moving forward, I will definitely be choosing #1 Kitchen!“

“This place is awesome. Food slaps – 10/10

We’ve been coming here for years. And I make the drive for pick up because it’s worth it.

We went tonight and realized we never write any reviews for the places we really love.

All their food is sooooo good but I’m partial to the dumplings. The wontons in chili oil are my favorite but the pork soup dumplings are bomb too. I literally crave the chili wontons all the time.

I’ve never been steered wrong by this place! Ever.

Everyone that works there is super kind and considerate.“

“This restaurant is amazing. Staff is wonderful. Food is hot and delicious - just full of flavor. What a treat!! Love the plate warmers and the little robot that delivers your food. Everything about this place is great!“

“Drove over from Clay after seeing the nice review on Where Syracuse Eats, luncheon special Szechuan Chicken with fried rice, they also gave me a nice eggroll, not like the crappy eggrolls you usually get, it was very good, actually, like a traditional egg roll, very clean and friendly service, thank you..“

“The only Chinese place ever. If ur gonna read a review make it this one. Forget any other review. This is the best Chinese food place in the entire world. Family favorite for like 20 years. Place is always clean the workers are always nice and the food comes out hot and fresh pretty quickly. Nothing compares to china Chen. My gf and I get it all the time it is our favorite. The go to items include the beef and broccoli, chicken and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, pork fried rice, wonton soup, chicken lo mein, and the eggrolls. Everything is genuinely earth shattering. We get it so much I now have china Chen in my contacts. It's that serious. Never had better Chinese food in my life. The only place to exist ever. And the prices are good as well. Great for broke college students. Such a good meal always. If I could eat china Chen every day for the rest of my life I would. I probably will. Literally the best ever. The food stays hot for so long you could drive 30 minutes back to ur house go inside smoke a j and the food would still be piping hot when you open it. Always so flavorful and delicious. If I could give it 1 million stars I would. The best restaurant in the whole world. #chinachen4life 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Just stumbled upon this restaurant 25 minutes from my home and I am FLOORED! 100% the BEST Chinese Food I have had since I lived in Tennessee... And I LOVE Asian Cuisine, so I just settle these days but this is THE BEST! Amazing Customer Service, They gave me kids a FREE 2-Liter because there was an extra 4 minute wait... Which we weren't even upset about! They value their customers and clearly take pride in the recipes they prepare! My husband had their Thai food, he said that was amazing too!

Best Crab Ragoon, AMAZING Egg Rolls, Bourbon Chicken was unique and SO Flavorful! Fresh Fried Rice, Spectacular Sesame Chicken, and the Chicken and Mushrooms was DROOL WORTHY!

I Cannot say enough about how pleased we are and ANYTIME we order Chinese we WILL Be taking that 25 Minute drive!“

“My favorite restaurant in Syracuse! I drive an hr at least 2x a month to get dry pot (pictured is dry pot and mapo tofu). The service is very quick it takes about 10 minutes to get my food. I usually spend about 30 minutes here because it is so quick.

I’ve tried going here 3 times in the past month and it’s been closed :( please let me know when you open back up!“

“Our family recently had takeout from Fortune Hawaii multiple times, and each visit was a delight. The egg rolls are a standout, boasting a perfect balance of crispiness and flavor without being overly oily. The mystery behind their preparation intrigues me. Additionally, my son consistently enjoys the General Tso, appreciating the consistently excellent taste with every order. The staff's kindness and the prompt, accurate service add to the overall positive experience. Highly recommended!“

“This Chinese is the best in atleast 30 miles, probably much farther. Morrisville and hamilton Chinese is ALWAYS slimy and wet, this place has never been so, even after a 20min drive home with it. Service is similar to every other place, fine... the food is exceptional by comparison to other small town Chinese, by a massive margin“

“I’ve been going in and out of there for years and they are so outstanding but I haven’t had a good meal for over a week so I got the special chow mein fun oh my God that beat my expectations outstanding this family runs a fine business“

“This is the best Chinese place out here. They never disappoint me. There sweet and sour chicken is so yummy even the tofu. I once tried another Chinese food place that was closer to my house and regret it because it was disgusting. This place is worth the 10 plus minutes to get here for me.“

“People are amazing. Food is amazing! Dont see these other ratings that are low. Pretty sure they are based towards certain people and attempting to shut a perfectly fine and amazing business down. Went here a few times and never had a problem with it. They're crab ragoons are fantastic and amazing.“

“This neat, very clean and comfortable little restaurant serves some of the best Asian food I've had in a long time. This was our second visit. I had the vegetable ramen and my companion had Pad Thai, both great. As an added plus, food is
served on real plates, not plastic.“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Lavish tonight. The food was delicious. The service was friendly, helpful, & quick. Would definitely recommend.“

“I’ve always love the food and atmosphere“

“This is the best Chinese food I have ever eaten, and I am a big Chinese foodie. The food had the best taste, the right amount of seasoning and was fresh and hot. I have lived in 5 states and always try so many restaurants, hoping to find one that will “just do” when I am craving Chinese. Mr Stir fry, I will definitely continue to go and enjoy the food. 🍲“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants ever. I have never had a bad meal here. The food is always hot when it gets to you, it's fresh, and the flavors are on point. I adore the staff. They always know my drink, soup, and appetizer order. Most of the time I come in and they bring me the soup and drink within a minute of sitting down. I can't say enough good things about this place.“

“Great spices, good char and smoke on the barbecue skewers. It tastes super traditional and is reminiscent of street skewers and beer I'd grab late nights or after work. This is the kind of food that is meant to enjoyed in groups and with some beer to aromatize the spices and smoke in the meat. Prioritize the skewers and dry/spicy options on the menu as this place specializes in that. As is traditional in Chinese restaurants, they offer a wide expanse of options that may not reflect their specialty. I hope this place takes off and they can continue to grow/improve their service. I will be bringing friends here in the future.“

“Love ❤️ the variety of food, friendly service staff & average price!!“
