21 Best Chinese Restaurants near South Salem

“Our family absolutely LOVES Panda Garden. Every single Friday, it is our go-to spot. The family running the restaurant has never gotten anything wrong, the food is incredibly delicious, and does not have a ton of oil (as many places in the area do struggle with that a bit). Thank you so much for always being so reliable and we appreciate all of you. Panda Garden is a part of our family routine and we will continue to keep up the tradition. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“Many Chinese take out places have declined in the Danbury/Brewster area, but Moon Star has remained consistent in turning out great food!
Whenever I call, the nice woman who answers is friendly, calls me by name, and demonstrates her appreciation for my business.
Yesterday afternoon, 2/13/25, I placed a big order: Wonton soup, pork fried rice, bbq spare ribs, steamed dumplings sesame chicken, and chicken with broccoli. Everything was delicious, cooked freshly, and portions were generous. Some places cut corners by giving less chicken, but Moon Star puts plenty of chicken in the meals.
I was allowed to take a 2-liter bottle of soda for free, and to our surprise, there was a HUGE portion of freshly-made fried dough (my wife's favorite!)
If you are looking for a good place to order Chinese take out, Moon Star is it!“

“This place is both amazing and delicious! We had a variety of dishes liek Szechuan dumplings, curry noodles, shrimp tempura, soup, crunchy spicy sushi, etc. ALL WERE AMAZING!! Service was really good and very homey atmosphere with high quality ingredients and served with a smile. Loved it!! 5 STARS!!“

“I ordered the pork fried rice and boneless pork ribs and they were both very good, only waited about 10 minutes for them to make my order, the service was great and polite, place was very clean with a couple of tables for anyone who wanted to eat in.“

“Ordered togo, but ate while waiting for my ride. The food was fresh and delicious. Lots of flavor and not too greasy. Got chicken and brocolli in brown sauce, and it was generously coated.

The people were very nice and happy to make accommodations. The place is has tables to sit and eat. Their little decorations are cute.

From a supporter of small business, please give them a try :)

Looked into why only 3 stars, and ALL the bad reviews are from years ago.“

“Pork fried rice with chicken wings lol“

“I was a little concerned because the place looks run down but the food was great. It's a good thing that I'm a true believer to never judge a person or a place from the outside. The restaurant is very old, they been there for 42 years. That explains why the food is good.“

“My wife and I are long time residents of Somers and last we ordered out from Q’s was about a decade ago. Not so good back then…excellent today. What a difference! Our food including soup was exemplary - tasty, not salty and most importantly, fresh! Many thanks and we surely have a new go to for Chinese food.

Parking: Plenty of parking.“

“Celebrated a birthday lunch at Ren today - the first time we tried it. It was fantastic! The food is absolutely delicious, the service excellent, the choices are many! Definitely recommend this little jewel!“

“Tengda Asian Bistro offers a wonderful selection of delicious lunch and dinner choices! The staff provides excellent and friendly service! Enjoy the best dining experience!“

“I'm really picky about Chinese food. These guys are hands down the best in the area. I've tried other local restaurants and been throughly disappointed. I've always been pleased with what they serve and their service. Shout out to their dumplings in particular, not too doughy, not too greasy.. Just perfect!“

“Had Christmas dinner here with my family. The food was so delicious. Fresh- fresh - fresh! The waiter was very attentive- great service! Lovely atmosphere. I would recommend!“

“I’m a New Yorker and if you know you know!! The picture doesn’t do them any justice, but the food is always fresh, delicious and the sell plantains, which is a huge plus in my book. I haven’t found any good food in this area, until I tried them! And their honey wing? trust me, you won’t be disappointed! ?????“

“Great takeout place. We order from here a couple of times a month. The food is very good and the service is efficient and courteous. They are always on tinte.Unlike some Chinese places, Empire Szechuan has flavorful food, where each entree has a distinct taste. We love it.“

“This downtown Chinese restaurant has a quick inexpensive buffet or you can order from the take out menu. We have had both while we visited Danbury, CT. The buffet is fresh and we enjoyed the chicken and broccoli, the veggie lo mein, and the string beans. It is an all you can eat buffet for a flat fee. We ordered won ton soup for lunch one day. A pint of soup contained four big wontons in a tasty broth. Dark and kind of dreary interior, but just sit by the windows so if it bothers you.“

“Love all the dishes i have tried....Very fresh, cooked to perfection.“

“Nice local spot offering traditional Chinese menu. We ordered Pork Fried Dumplings, and these were flavorful and crisp, as were the Egg Rolls. Our entrees were the Hunan Special, a spicy dish of jumbo shrimp, crab meat, chicken, pork, black mushrooms, and vegetables, and the Happy Family with similar ingredients minus the spicy kick. Both were prepared well and fresh. We opted to dine in, and the tables were clean and well lit.“

“My favorite Chinese spot as a kid. Right ul the street from where I grew up. I had to make a trip back to update my core memory and add one to my kids! Cold sesame noodles are my go too and will continue to be the best from only this place.“

“If you’re from NYC & relocated to Danbury, this is the closest thing to NYC Chinese food you’ll find.

Amazing food, especially the chicken wings /french fries & shrimp with broccoli.

Customers service is also excellent. Store can get packed at times because they cater to take out along with uber eats, etc.“

“We’ve been getting food here since I can remember, the nicest people, best Chinese food in Bethel and surrounding area in Connecticut! Huge massive menu, super fast, and extremely friendly. I can’t say enough good things about this place, take out, dine in, call ahead and order there all available. Delicious Chinese food!!! Anytime I go somewhere else it’s just not the same, this place always out does other places“

“Very accommodating to my service dog. Sometimes places like this don’t understand the function of a service animal in a persons life. We will definitely be back! So appreciative of them being welcoming.“
