50 Best Chinese Restaurants in New York

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“Not a big fan of the fish balls but will definitely be back for the rice noodles. Get them with mixed sauce: peanut, soy, hot, and oyster sauce. The owner is a vibe. There is a small area for dine in, with 4 chairs, but food comes in a plastic container that's easy to eat from elsewhere. They do take card but with a fee.“

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

“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!“

“Insane value in 2026. Wrappers are handmade and you can taste the difference. Wholesale/bulk frozen goods are super well priced.

The main mall entrance has been boarded up as of May 2026 so you’ll need to make your way around to a sketchy looking side entrance, then into the basement via the main stairwell.“

“This spot is 12/10 my favorite place in the area. I recently moved to Jersey City however when I’m in the area, I make it a point to grab food from here specifically! The staff is so hardworking and nice. They always have a smile on their face and welcome any questions you may have. Love this place and you will too!“

“Great atmosphere, quality decor. Authentic menu. We wanted some quality Chinese whilst in NYC. Drinks menu great cocktails and Pilsner. Cucumber starter and BBQ Spare ribs starter are amazing. peking duck and the Chicken in blackbean and dry chilli chicken - amazing!“

“#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“

“good Chinese food“

“The wait isn’t bad, the food is banging and cheap, don’t stand around in the line unless you know what you’re waiting for is the one tip I’ll give, people just stand around without seeing which line they’re in. You can walk right up to the counter if you’ve got cash. Get a few buns to go for later. The shu mai was ok seemed like it had been sitting a while.“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“Had a fantastic first experience at Corner Chinese!“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

“Tangy, sour, spicy, yummy!!! This soup has such a good flavor range - I literally went wow inside me haha. It was a yummy soup. Wish I got more meat instead of minced meat (I don’t like minced meat in soup and noodles in general). The service is quick and friendly. Also I hate the fact that there is no physical menus - bring back physical menus please!!!“

“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.“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“The food was honestly amazing - so, so delicious. The only thing I’d change is the music, just because it didn’t really match the vibe, but that’s totally my own opinion. Everything we tried was great, and the service was really good too. Definitely recommend this place!“

“The food I ordered was good ,well seasoned, but when I wanted to order their signature dish, which is the bao bao buns, they said it’s no longer in stock and won’t be ready till next season.

I was really disappointed that I couldn’t get what I really wanted.“

“I’ve been to this place several times with my colleagues. We always book a private room and have our own private party.
* The food is great
* The service is top-notch
* The environment is excellent

That’s why we keep coming back every year.“

“Everything is good“

“Was pretty excited to see this place right next to my hotel. Ate twice before I left back home. 🍜 ramen was amazing“

“I recently tried Yang Guo Fu Malatang and had a great experience. The best part is being able to choose your own ingredients, which makes the meal very personalized and fun. There were many fresh options like vegetables, meats, seafood, tofu, and noodles.“

“Walked in for a quick luncheon on my day off. I was seated in the front section by Michelle. Thoroughly enjoyed the preps- different flavors and excellent presentation. Attentive and friendly service by Michelle was impeccable! A bit too loud neighboring tables, but food and service was decadent. Eclectic menu. Can’t wait to be back and try their other dishes. Ty Michelle for your suggestions. Shredded tofu & Ravioli are a win win‼️ Pyramid dessert is to kill for…😉😋😋😋❣️“

“Best Szechuan restaurant in New York, hands down. The food was outstanding—bold, authentic flavors, perfectly cooked, and every dish was packed with spice and depth. What made the experience even better was Andy, our waiter. He was friendly, attentive, fast, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Great food, great service, and definitely a place I’d come back to again. Highly recommend.“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Wonderful food, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere and location. The best soup dumplings I’ve had in Manhattan.“

“Great prices for delicious food. I see why Guy Fieri has come here three times. The noodles are perfectly imperfect and the flavors are spot on. The only questionable thing about the place is that the duck is served bone-in which brought down my wife's enjoyment of her dish“

“DAO Dim Sum & Chinese Cuisine delivers exactly what you want when you are craving authentic dim sum in New York. It checks every box.

The dim sum was excellent. Fresh, well prepared, and full of flavor. Each dish came out hot and properly timed. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in consistency and quality.

The wonton soup was equally strong. Clean, balanced broth with well-made wontons and great texture. Comforting without being heavy.

Service was fast and courteous. The staff was attentive, efficient, and genuinely pleasant. Food arrived quickly without feeling rushed.

The pricing is very reasonable, especially given the quality and portion sizes. Strong value across the board.

If you are looking for reliable, well-executed dim sum in New York, DAO is a solid choice. Professional operation, good people, great food. Five stars.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious in the chef stuff we know how to cook! Especially the fried food (scallion pancake, calamari) are perfect perfectly fried and seasoned.
The only thing is, it was very cold inside of the restaurant. The wind blowing in from the door, costly open and close made it extra cold inside“

“Awesome resturant for $30 I got an inane amount of food I couldn't even finish it and I'm fat. You get good quality food for a really cheap price all authentic food. The pork buns are amazing for the price I will 100% be coming back here whenever im in the area.“

“Outstanding.“

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

“I found this amazing restaurant via Google Maps & I’m glad I did! Ordered through Grubhub & everything arrived warm, freshly made & with plentiful amounts! Yum!
BBQ Spare Ribs were amazing in taste & fully cooked, not too soft, just right! Scallion pancakes arrived very crispy & not soggy like others I’ve had! Pork fried rice was seasoned perfectly! They also accommodated my no egg request in the rice for an added bonus! Dumplings were delicious with an adequate amount of juicy pork filling! Boneless BBQ ribs were soft, full of sauce & tasty as well! Prices are a bit higher, but you get your money’s worth overall! Try it you’ll be happy you did!“

“i’m so happy more people are discovering this spot. the first time i came here i was genuinely speechless because of how good the food was… had to run it back multiple tiimmessss!!!

i have no complaints whatsoever, 10s across the board!!“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

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

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

“Hi grand street skewer cart ! I’m a huge fan of your food. I’m a web designer and I actually put together a draft website concept for your shop to show how you can showcase your menu and take catering orders more easily.

I’d love to send you a quick video tour of what I built, or we can jump on a brief meeting if you’re interested! If you like the design, you can officially purchase it for your business. No pressure at all—just wanted to show you what’s possible!“

“The food is consistently fresh and tasty. So happy to have an excellent Szechwan restaurant in a neighborhood where good Chinese cuisine is sorely lacking.“

“Xi'an Famous Foods Chelsea is a go-to for bold, no-nonsense flavors that really deliver. The hand-pulled noodles are chewy and satisfying, coated in rich, spicy sauces that have real depth. Everything feels fast, fresh, and full of character. It’s casual and unpretentious, but the flavors hit hard and keep you coming back.“

“Forgot to take photos of the food but everything was so good. Steamed Pork Dumplings were massive, soft, and delish. Chicken Soup Dumplings had a really rich broth. Beef Lo Mein was flavorful and cooked well. Sesame Chicken was super crispy and the sauce was incredible but not spicy as it shouldve been. Chicken Fried Rice was standard but good.

The free jasmine tea was a nice touch and great throughout the meal!“

“enjoyable and great food“

“The owner and his son are the highlight of my experience here. The son is so much fun to talk to and is one of the best people to have in a service industry. He helped us know what to avoid given my wife’s dietary restrictions and also made an extra effort to make dumplings that could match her restrictions.

The food has so much wonderful spice. Their mount Qi noodles are such a highlight on any cold day and it’s one of the reasons I went there 4 times across two weeks“

“Although I rated this as 5 stars, it wasn't quite what I expected although the food was quite good. Anthony Bourdain among others called the food amazing and gave innumerable accolades. I find the food to be excellent, however its on par with any decent Xian style food in other American cities. Its just better publicized. Its worth eating at if you're in the area, but its not worth a special trip.“

“Our server, Jesse, was amazing - really on top of things and provided a welcoming atmosphere, definitely a bright spot on this experience. This location could definitely use some TLC (and they need to bring back the tree in the dining room). The food was pretty good, but the wonton soup was very strange and my Chang's Chicken had a few pieces that were not good - both really strange for a PF Changs.“

“Delicious food, great staff, friendly service.“

“The food is great. We ordered wild yellow croaker and duck stew with sticky rice ball as dessert. The taste has no problem but the portion is small compared to the price. Two sticky rice balls for 14 dollars. The good point is that the jasmine rice is free.“

“I went to a lot of restaurants in New York that were much fancier than this cart but this was my favorite food of the day. The cheong fun was gooey and had qq and a decent amount of meat. For $5 for the large, it was such a deal and fed three of us as a snack. I would go back in a heartbeat and order more. Wish we had this in Chinatown in Houston.“
