41 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Syracuse

“We ordered General Tso’s Chicken, Chicken & Broccoli, Shrimp & Broccoli, Pork Fried Rice, Egg Rolls and Fried Dumplings. Everything was delicious, I’d say one of the top takeout Chinese restaurant in Syracuse. The only thing we didn’t like were the dumplings, we prefer the wonton wraps as opposed to the thick dough, but that’s just personal preference, the flavor and quality were both good. This is our new go to place, thank you for a quality meal!“

“I liked the homey vibe of this place. We had the chicken wings, beef and broccoli and sweet and sour pork. All good dishes. If I am in this area again, I would come here. This place is mainly a take out but has a few tables. The staff were friendly.“

“I have been getting takeout from Big Bowl for years. My favorite menu items from them are there handmade steamed dumplings, which are made with a thin dough and the perfect amount of meat and soup juices inside. Their shrimp lo mein has the perfect flavor and isn’t dry like most places. The general Tso is crispy and just the right of sweet and spicy.“

“Went this weekend and had an amazing time. It was a little busy, so our food took a little bit to come out (nothing excessive, since it was busy, but we were trying to make a movie).

Sarea was our server, and she was AMAZING! Super friendly right off the bat, checked on us at the right times, and really made the little bit of wait for food pleasant! Once we told her we needed to make a movie, she was able to bring our check our faster and some to-go boxes, but we ended up eating everything and still made the movie on-time.

She went above and beyond with her friendliness and accommodation, and had stand out service. It made our meal!“

“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!“

“I’ve tried a LOT of different places around Syracuse in look for good Crab Ragoons & Lo Main and this place is definitely the best. Generous in portions, good amount of veggies in the lo main and the Rangoons aren’t mostly bread/crust!! Highly recommend!!“

“Most excellent home made tofu, which included a large array of perfectly sautéed veggies in a delicious sauce! lBest food & rice I've ever eaten from an Asian restaurant! Extremely clean restaurant! Very good prices too.
Highly recommend!!!“

“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 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Yummy China is hands down one of the best places for Chinese food! The menu has a wide variety of delicious options, and everything I’ve tried has been fresh and flavorful. I especially love their General Tso’s Chicken—it’s crispy, perfectly sweet, and spicy. The portions are generous, and the prices are great for the quality and amount of food you get. The staff is always friendly and provides quick service, whether you're dining in or taking out. If you're looking for authentic and tasty Chinese food, Yummy China is the place to go!“

“Ordered the sesame chicken with pork fried rice and a fried shrimp egg roll. Service was simple and quick, took about 8 minutes. The food is above average for a Chinese takeout place. You can tell there is a degree of freshness in everything. The sesame chicken was fried perfect with a light crunch but not overpowering in sauce. The chicken itself was juicy and felt like it wasn’t frozen. The sauce also was different than usual, but in a good savory way. The rice by far was my favorite, it wasn’t greasy and had good chunks of pork and egg. It’s not yellow like other places, which I think is a good thing. The shrimp egg roll was the only letdown as I felt it was a bit too greasy but definitely not bad. I travel for work and am from NYC — take my review for what it is.“

“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!“

“The food is awesome and fast. Many dishes from here I won't try anywhere else. Update the6 seem to be getting better supplies, food is somehow even better than usual. Singapore Mei Fun, Pepper steak combo and sub gum wor bar all were great. Even better egg rolls now too!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! I’ve been ordering from here for years and they’ve never let me down. The food is always piping hot and remarkably flavorful. I’m especially addicted to their General Tso’s chicken, sesame shrimp, and crab rangoon—they’re consistently excellent and generous in portion. The staff are friendly and efficient, and often remember my order before I even speak. Delivery is surprisingly fast—almost always much quicker than the estimated time. Whether I’m craving something mild or extra spicy, they hit the mark every time. A reliable go‑to for amazing take‑out in Central NY!“

“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!“

“Tight Space there were 12 people in basically a phone booth waiting to order or to pick up food. This is because they closed their dining room after the Pandemic. They have a whole Banquet Hall I've never saw in Use it's been closed for years and now there's a window you order from. GREAT FOOD though.“

“First time having food from this restaurant. As a person that doesn't eat meat it had some good options. I had the garlic mushrooms over rice with vegetable spring rolls. The spring rolls were very soggy so I only took one bite. But the rest of the food was pretty good.“

“The best Chinese take out in Syracuse city!! I’ve been ordering food from here over 12 years and they have not disappointed me ever!

Parking: Parking is very easy and plenty accessibility

Wheelchair accessibility: They have parking that allows a wheelchair to enter easily“

“Just moved to the area and was told this was the best take-out. Compared to other Chinese places, the price was a better value and it tasted fresher. I think I will make this part of my Friday night post-workout ritual. The Sweet and Sour chicken with a side of fries and wings for twenty bucks lasts like two meals, I can bring the extra to work. Very good place. Take-out only.“

“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“

“Chef David's food is great. He is a true Chef and does a great job. The workers are attentive and helpful.“

“I ordered from here and then noticed the low overall review score, which made me nervous. The reviews would have steered me wrong though. We ordered egg rolls,.sesame chicken, pork fried rice and beef lo mein and everything was hot and delicious.“

“I have been ordering from China Cafe for years!! This is easily my favorite place to go to for a quick and delicious meal. They are very family orient (most times you will see the kids at one of the tables or the family enjoying a meal together). This place is busy, but you would never notice. The deliveries are very quick.“

“So yummy! Everything is on point. Bo bo platter...That fried crab stick was delicious as heck and I don't usually like crab stick like that. Boneless ribs...There's something really special in that sauce. Cashew chicken was absolutely delicious but had mostly peanuts with a few cashews for garnish. Possibly the best lo mein and fried rice in Syracuse. The fried chicken wings are second to the tastiest I've ever had. I got to know what that flavoring is that they marinate them in. So happy they have delivery with Uber eats now. I don't drive so I could never have it before. I remember those chicken wings from years ago when somebody went there and let me try their leftovers. I've been dying to have them again ever since and now I can!“

“Giving tis place a 5 stars on food for a few reasons. First time trying it out and the boneless spareribs are great. I DO NOT like ginger but tasted it in the pork fried rice and it definitely complimented the ribs. Got the Pu Pu platter and the steak on the stick had a ridiculously great flavor(cooked to Jerky but sooo good!) They used a real peice of steak for it! Not that soggy stuff you hope is beef! All in all a pretty decent spot. Even adjusted the Pu Pu platter because there was something I didn't like on it and they added a similar item already on the platter for me without a surcharge. Definitely coming back!“

“All these negative reviews are absurd! My meal was fantastic! Piping hot. Delicious and great portions. Deserves the full 5 stars. No question. Granted it’s Chinese food so keep that in mind it’s not wagyu steak or somethin but on a scale for local Chinese it’s a 5.“

“We ordered over the phone for delivery and they were fantastic! Very professional, very friendly, very communicative about how long it would take and if anything was out of stock. The staff there are wonderful and definitely reason enough for me to order from them again. The food was delicious but I personally think the chicken was a little overdone for my taste. Great prices and great staff will have me coming back for sure!“

“Amazing food and even more amazing people! I got locked out of my car in the parking lot during a snow storm. No jacket and no phone, the owner graciously gave me her coat and allowed me to use the phone to call for help. I was stuck waiting for hours but they gave me hot water and an egg roll, which was delicious, and allowed me to wait inside. When I finally got home the food was fantastic. They have absolutely gained a new lifetime customer!“

“Having been to the Lavish Mediterranean restaurant more than a few times now, I must say that I have enjoyed every meal that I have had out of the wide variety of fine quality of delicious dishes on their menu and the generous portions that they serve. Besides the delicious food, the polite and caring staff, the clean and well-lit environment, and the comfortable seating are an added plus. I would recommend this restaurant to all, and am fairly sure that future visits there will be desired.“

“My wife and I take out from this wonderful establishment about three times a week. We love that it’s local and the owners are very attentive and appreciative of the business that they have. The food is exquisite and their appreciation for customers is astounding. The ingredients are as if you were eating in a 5 diamond restaurant. From the beef to the chicken and the shrimp, which are jumbo, are seasoned to perfection. In fact, my wife and I are talking right now what to have for dinner, you guessed it, we’re ordering Asian Café right now. I’m sure you’ll have the same experience that we have had. Enjoy!!!“

“I’ve always love the food and atmosphere“

“Great food! The people are very hard working and efficient! How she managed 2 phones and checking us out at the same time was simply amazing!!“

“Orders on Grubhub and my order came PIPING hot and they included rice and 2 fortune cookies as a little something extra. We’ve ordered their catering before and it was just as delicious. It’s a decent price for that amount of food ($35 for 4 meals worth of sesame chicken and lo mein). They PACKED my lo mein into the container but for $10, I wish there was just a bit more.

Never stepped foot in here so I can’t speak to the atmosphere, but:

5 stars for food because duh. The food is great.
5 stars for service because my food was HOT.“

“Ordered for the first time last weekend, did a fair amount of sampling of the menu. Spring rolls, crab rangoon, fried dumplings, sweet & sour chicken, beef lo mein, and both general tso's and sesame chicken in the combo meals. Everything was hot and fresh at pickup, all as expected. The only item that was not to our typical taste were the fried dumplings. Lots of filling and tasty, but the dumpling itself was much thicker than most any dumpling we've ever had making it a little chewier than we prefer.“

“This is the best Chinese food I’ve had! Pork is so tender! Both chicken choices awesome! Servings plentiful! I’ll come back!!“

“This is one of my favorite Chinese places in the area, I think the food is pretty good, the quantity of food for the cost is good. Little surprised the reviews arnt a bit higher. I got take out, there isn't a ton of seating, if any at all, if you wanted to dine in.“

“Literally never gone. But my friend worked there soooooooooooo

Vegetarian options: I've also never been here sooooo

Dietary restrictions: Still haven't been there

Parking: Yeah I still haven't been there so

Kid-friendliness: Again, I haven't been there

Wheelchair accessibility: I mostly haven't gone“

“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.“
