23 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!!!“

“No atmosphere although a few formica tables where you can eat but mainly take out. Steamed dumplings are terrific and really enjoy the beef and broccoli. People there incredibly hard working and polite. The House Special Soup is delicious and really a bargain as it's a full meal in itself.“

“This was a take out order so I really can't comment on the inside atmosphere as I wasn't paying attention. Anyway this was my first time getting food here and I really enjoyed it. The service was quick, prices relatively fair and the food was hot and tasty.“

“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! ?????“

“It is near impossible to describe in words how much better this restaurant is than their competition. My wife and I are so glad to have them near us. They don't do anything fancy, they just do everything right. Thank you moonstar!!!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“It's the only Chinese place I'll get take out. Food is great. Prices are reasonable. Very busy at dinner time. I would order in advance and pick up. Decor could use some updating, but friendly owner and fast service make up for it.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've gotten take out from Fortune Cookie a few times and can safely say the food is consistently good. They prepare the meals rather quickly, lunch specials are fairly priced and filling. I love their egg rolls and general tsaos chicken. Highly recommend for Chinese take out lunch or dinner.“

“We recently moved to New Fairfield from Queens, NY - so appreciate good Chinese/Japanese/Korean food. We've tried and been disappointed by all the Chinese restaurants north of I-84, so decided to venture further afield and ordered takeout from Beijing Chinese to bring with us to an event held at the Charter Oak Brewery (which doesn't serve food - so encourages patrons to bring their own). Tough to see/find off White St, Beijing is buried in a nondescript food, strip mall perpendicular to White St - also containing a pizza joint, a sandwich deli and Jamaican j*** joint. Beijing was buzzing with patrons awaiting their takeout; the other 3 establishments were dead - so others must also like Beijing's food. Items such as egg rolls, wontons & dumplings most restaurants buy frozen from whole sellers and so taste uniformly Meh! But the 3 freshly prepared dishes we ordered were very good: Beef Chow Fun, General Tso's Chicken. Hot & Spicy Chicken - about as good as any Queens neighborhood Cantonese takeout, though not up to Flushing Standards. This restaurant is strictly takeout; you wait on the sidewalk and the the transaction takes place thru a window (Good for Covid-19 precautions). We will make the schlep and further explore their menu!“

“There are no real surprises here. That's the good news. You've certainly seen the menu before. And on the big menu there is lots of good stuff. Our family has been going here for two generations, really countless times. Cocktails. White tablecloth. Speedy service. Large portions. Full bar. And most important tasty eats at fair prices.“

“We all know the difference between 'clean Chinese food' and 'dirty Chinese'.. the dirtier the better. (In a Very Sanitary way) This is dirty Chinese. Super saucy, full of flavor, very friendly staff. Everything is made to order, so any personal preference in regards to your order are fully recognized and accommodated. I think the only downfall is there beverage selection. Otherwise this is the only Chinese food place that we order from, and there are at least five other options in the area. Ming Garden is definitely one of the best“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“I liked their egg rolls the most and then their steamed dumplings and their fried dumplings and then even their sesame chicken was okay, but I don’t think I will order their vegetable lomein again… But I did like their homemade tea and their homemade hot chili oil too ??The lady who took my order was pleasant ?? but as for their atmosphere? — let’s just say they look busy… ? I wonder if management wants to grow their business into a bigger space? I know a place similar to them that was in business for years and years and did so well that they closed for a number of weeks while they remodeled themselves into a really nice buffet with a hibachi chef and a sushi chef too ????“

“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!“

“This place is the best!! The chicken was very crispy and the sauce was tasty. You could easily tell that the sushi was fresh. I requested the drunken noodles to be extra spicy and they were the perfect amount of spice. I highly recommend Asia Hamachi!“
