Chinese Restaurants near Blue Ash

“Food was hot and delicious, fast service. We had Crab Rangoon, steamed dumplings, General Taos chicken and vegetable lo mein, with enough leftover for supper. We're not from the area, but have marked this down to recommend and stop again when we return to the area.“

“It is a greasy Chinese food place but the best one in kenwood. I always order the chicken with garlic sauce and it has a ton of great vegetables. my kids love the mai fun noodles . Really the only place I would recccomend in the area bc it actually is the least “

“From the moment we made our reservation, we were treated to a hospitality and warmth sorely lacking in today's world. While we went at noon, the music and decor were as relaxing as an evening or even late- night event. Our server Simeon was professional and committed to make our meal a memorable one. At our request, he described different dishes, telling us what he recommended and what to expect. He was attentive without hovering. The food was as outstanding as was the service. While the shrimp toast appetizer, Wong's chicken, and Clay pot were delicious, beautifully prepared, we were overwhelmed by the presentation, taste, and experience of the coconut bread pudding with rum sauce. We will go again soon..“

“Everything was fresh and delicious, but the birria ramen was the star of the show! So good!!“

“Chanced on this true gem last Friday with my kids. I did not have much expectations but was throughly blown away by the authenticity and quality of the food. I have not had a bowl of Wonton Noodle Soup that good since relocated to the US. Quality is comparable to HK standards. My kids had Pad Thai and Shanghai Cashew Chicken, they all loved their meals. This is truly a hole in the wall kind of restaurant, nothing fancy but pure good food. Thank you for making my day and we will be back real soon.“

“Sichuan Place is a fantastic spot for authentic Chinese cuisine with flavors tailored to your spice preference. Whether you love bold, fiery heat or prefer something milder, they’ve got you covered. The Red Dry Chili Chicken is a standout, and the Sweet and Sour Pork ribs are children's favorite. Pepper Beef is always my favorite. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring your meal suits your taste. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Sichuan flavors!“

“Authentic dim sum! Good and fast service! Friendly staffs. They even gave me peanut snack to home with!! :)“

“This is the best Chinese restaurant I've been to in the US. I haven't spent too much time in NYC, so I cannot compare to those, but I spent many years in SF and LA and have not had better than Sichuan Chili.

I no longer live in Cincinnati, unfortunately, but I am in town maybe one week per year and make it a point to visit Sichuan Chili multiple times. I will even freeze it and bring it home to Texas, where the Chinese food by me is mediocre at best.

We have several go-tos (not in any particular order):

Mapo tofu - lots of heat, but great flavor. Big and bold.

Hot pepper chicken - this stir fried dish of jalapenos and chicken is excellent. There are times the head is overwhelming, but it also is loaded with flavor. It is not just a spice bomb.

Hot and sour soup - my kids like all hot and sour soup, but I am yet to find one as good as the one from Sichuan Chili. It is very black peppery, but in a good way. It tastes different than any other hot and sour soup I've eaten.

Chinese style kung pao - this is different than regular kung pao - lots of ginger, different vegetables than the US version. I am a huge fan.

Green beans - these are excellent. Smoky, flavorful. My middle loves szechuan green beans and these are extremely good.

Eggplant in garlic sauce - this isn't necessarily better than most Chinese places, but it's good. They have 2-3 versions of egg plant.

Salt and pepper shrimp - vinegary and tangy. They come skin and tail on, but the deep fry makes them easy to eat whole.

The above are our normal go-tos. We've tried several other things over the years. Some have been hits. Some have been misses. The only thing I've eaten there that was truly bad were the salt and pepper ribs. Hard to describe why, but it was a total fail.

I assume many of the other reviews mention this, but there is an authentic menu and an American menu. We normally eat off the authentic, but the lunch specials are all off the American menu and I've tried a few. Even the American menu food is better than most Chinese restaurants.“

“This restaurant offers lunch specials on Saturdays and Sundays. I carried out today. Food was fast,tasted fresh. very good.“

“Grand Oriental Chinese Restaurant— BaldWhiteGuyReviews 🧑‍🦲🍜 Time flies, kids forget passports, and dads get a rare day off — which I immediately spent doing what any responsible parent would do: drag my son to a new restaurant and then reward him with lunch. 😅 He forgot his passport (top secret co-op stuff, apparently), so we met halfway-ish and let Yelp play help find a new place to try. That’s how we found Grand Oriental — a big, festive palace of American-Chinese comfort food and decorative bravado Grand Oriental 📍4800 Fields Ertel Rd, Cincinnati. Parking & Entrance Parking: angled, on a slight hill, and perfect for anyone who enjoys a little cardio while exiting their car. If you have equilibrium issues, bring a friend or a very dramatic cane. Walk the red carpet like you’re famous (or at least like you once were #Santa in the Christmas Program) and step into a dining room that screams “special occasion” louder than your drunk uncle at a wedding. 🎉✨ #WeSeeYou Decorations Huge space, lots of lanterns, and more faux-oriental flair than a Netflix period drama on a budget. The place looks like someone told Pinterest to go wild and then hired a very enthusiastic intern to execute it. If prom and homecoming had a love child, this would be the reception venue. Very Instagrammable — bring a filter and a dramatic pose. 📸🪩 They even have a golden throne #Seriously. The Wet Live Well They’ve got a big wet live well — yes, an actual aquarium of potential dinner guests. Do I think they fish out a crab and whisper “you’re up” before tossing him into a wok? Some call it fresh; others call it barbaric reality TV for crustaceans. Either way, the seafood looks like it just finished updating its LinkedIn. 🦀🐟😬 #FearFactor Bathroom Report Bathroom: shockingly clean and tastefully decorated. If the restroom is this tidy, you know the kitchen isn’t hiding any skeletons — just maybe a very well-behaved crab. 🚽✨ What We Ate 🍜 * Appetizer: Crab Rangoon — $6.99 Warm, creamy, and dangerously addictive. Came with two mystery sauces: one was sweet (dessert-adjacent and delightful), the other had a wasabi vibe that made my face do a small, respectful salute. I’m still not sure if the second sauce was wasabi or a tiny jar of regret, but it worked. 😋🔥 It was a surprise, no mention of sauces on the menu. (That I could find anyway). * Half-ling’s Meal: Sweet & Sour Chicken with Fried Rice — $11.99 Predictable in the best way. Comfort food for people who like their food to behave itself. The fried rice, however, was quietly excellent — the unsung hero of the table. 🍚👍 * My Choice: Hunan Beef with Fried Rice — $12.99 Hunan Beef is my yardstick. This one had a pleasant kick that made my nose run like it had opinions. Local Hunan still wins my heart #DragonInn, but this one is a solid contender. 🥩🌶️ Total Lunch Damage: $34.46 (waters included, because hydration is free and important) 💸 Final Thoughts (and the part where I pretend to be impartial) The Grand Oriental is a great spot for a special lunch or to impress guests who like their ambiance with a side of theatrical lighting. Staff were friendly and fast — service points for speed and smiles. Food was solid, comforting, and exactly what you expect from a good American-Chinese joint: familiar, warm, and occasionally surprising (looking at you, mystery sauce). #HotHot Final Score: 3 out of 5 Bald Heads 🧑‍🦲🧑‍🦲🧑‍🦲 Why I docked two Bald Heads: * Minus one for predictably (Boring) American-Chinese flavors — tasty, but not revolutionary. * Minus one for price — lunch felt a tad steep. Maybe you’re paying extra for the live well’s real estate and the decorative chandelier that’s clearly on a #FingerHut payment plan. 🧾💡#CheapOldMan Would I go back? Sure — for a special night, a prom afterparty, or if my son forgets something else important. Would I drive across town just for their Hunan? Not this time. 👎 Have you been here?

“Colin was the best server we’ve had in a long time. The best experience and meal! Customer service is lacking these days and it is so nice to have a server who cares and is attentive. Thanks again We will be back soon. 😊“

“Authentic, tasty and fulfilling food!“

“Great Family owned business! we will always drive here no matter how far we live away ❤ We've been coming here over 10 years and quality has remained excellent and I'm so glad to see this business still here!“

“My fiancé swears by Lulu's. She grew up in Glendale and the food is just as good as it's always been for her. We met and lived in NYC for 10 years before she brought me back to Ohio. I started working just around the corner from Lulu's and now I'm bring it home a few times a month so she can get that taste of nostalgia. Doesn't hurt that the food is comparable to NYC's Chinatown. Highly recommend.“

“A cute and friendly restaurant just off of 747 that is definitely worth a stop. The chicken wings were SO juicy and they had the perfect crunch!🤩 The seasoning in the batter was lovely and my husband and I didn't need any sauce, highly recommend. His chicken teriyaki was also rather juicy for white meat and they had a nice smokey flavor, so he was very happy.😊 I had the chicken Pad Thai and each little flavor would sneak up on me while I ate. Fantastically balanced all the way through and I even dug into the middle of the dish and still could find peanuts!🥜
Do yourself a favor.
Stop by, and grab some grub!😋“

“Amazing Amazing Amazing don't let those bad reviews full you...after reading them you can tell they are from when place first opened place has improved 100 once again AMAZING..even Amy our server Amazing. Highly recommend“

“Best Chinese I’ve had east of Mariemont! The fried rice was buttery and delicious, chicken eggrolls was soft but crunchy in the right way, and the General Tso’s chicken was delicious. Quick and easy service and an awesome price, all for $10!“

“Always fresh ! Mongolian beef is my fave ! also nice gent in front who tells me different things to try every time i come in there“

“Surprisingly excellent. Have not found great Chinese in this area until now.“

“Went for my first time tonight, very happy. Lady who fixed my order was very kind and patient as I got myself together after braving the cold weather, and trying find my glasses, haha. I got noodles, sesame chicken, and coconut shrimp. All of it was hot and tasted good. Menu seems like tradition Chinese-American restaurant favorites, and is very reasonably priced for the portions. I got enough food for 2 dinners, and spent less, before tip, than I do at most places for 1 meal. The dining area was very clean and cozy. Overall, I'm very glad I stopped in and will be back!“

“This place has the best Mapo fried tofu. I'm addicted to this dish! Place is super clean and owner is so nice and cooks everything to order. If busy you will wait a little bit but it's so worth it. My other favorite dish is the tofu and egg plant. We also just recently tried the vegetables and fried rice and it was delicious. If you're vegan or just like some good Oriental food you must give this place a try. 🩷“

“Amazing food! I recommend the Royal Noodles with chicken and the sesame chicken. The prices are great and they always deliver much faster than expected!“

“I have been to this restaurant about 5 times now and I’ve got to say best Chinese food around here when it comes to taste and value incredible portion sizes and just overall good food another thing I can say every time I come to this spot is how clean the food tastes no old oil here I’d recommend over dragon city if your in the area any day of the week“

“GREAT FOOD hot and sour is great“

“My family and I went for a special occasion and absolutely loved it! The sushi was great as well as the atmosphere of the whole restaurant. Will be going back!“

“best around and good portions“

“Best pepper steak in Cincinnati! Love timmys wok“

“Kevin Ling was our server a few weeks ago and I still haven’t stopped thinking about his kindness and the yummy food. My dad and I had an amazing experience dining in — we had the entire restaurant to ourself since most people were ordering takeout. Kevin will tell you all about his hometown in China, so don’t be afraid to ask :)“

“Food was fresh and absolutely amazing“

“Great food, service as always! My fiancé and I love this place“

“Amazing Mongolion Beef and Pineapple chicken and Sesame chicken!!!!“

“This is a classic family-run Chinese restaurant. It is primarily for take-out, as accommodations for dining in are rather sparse, and their website does not show an option for delivery... but everything that I have ordered there has been good - I particularly enjoy their hot and sour soup.“

“Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. It was truly exceptional, and every little detail made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Your warmth, kindness, and generosity meant a lot to us. We had such a great time, and the memories we made will stay with us for a long time. Looking forward to meeting again soon!“

“Always have a good selection but thos particular time we went, the food was Very dry and orange chicken was mushy. They have more veggies than meat in the entrees that include veggies. Portion size is getting smaller as the price increases. My family goes here alot. Overall their food us great!“

“We drive across town as this has been our family’s favorite Chinese takeout for over 20 years. Always consistent on freshness, flavor, huge portions and great customer service. They have never disappointed! We have tried many closer to home but family concessions is always Fantastic Wok II!“

“Have been coming to this location for YEARS ! My son loves there food and he wanted it for his birthday party so we catered them for our event & everyone loved it !! Pricing was great & portions were more than enough !! So much food ! Everyone got seconds & we even had left overs !! We will definitely use them again for parties !! I was more than pleased with their customer service ! Great quality food & efficient timing in preparation!! Thank you guys ! :) we will continue coming back!“

“Not all Chinese restaurants are the same. And each one has its specialities. This one does a very good job in what they specialize, which is Guangdong/Shanghai style dish. What that means is that their speciality is not Sichuanese. So if you go there, you should order Guangdong/Shanghai food not Sichuanese. They do a phenomenal job with that dish.

You should get:
- Shanghai Style Eggplants
- Moo Goo Gai
- Sizzling Seafood Combination
(Any seafood menu was good from my experience)

These are not the best:
- Mapa Tofu or Double Cooked Pork (they are Sichuanese dish)“

“I was glad we stopped in there. Food was excellent!“

“By far, my family’s favorite place for Chinese takeout in the area! Every once in awhile we think we’ll try somewhere else, but we always end up disappointed and come back to Panda Garden. The food is consistently hot and delicious with large portions and the delivery times are short.“

“I consider myself a Chinese/asian cuisine connoisseur and while this place has great options, there’s a few things I’d never order again that are typically favorites elsewhere.

General tsos chicken… phenomenal! Finally some spiciness! So many places claim they’re general to be spicy and it’s not, this has a decent kick and it’s full of flavor.

Bourbon chicken… yuck. It’s not great. Chicken is way over cooked, the flavor completely lacks. I love bourbon chicken, but not from here. It should be very moist and decadent and it’s not at all. I didn’t even waste my time eating the rest. Big disappointment.

Sesame chicken… yummy in my tummy. Crispy and full of flavor.

veg lo mein.. it’s not bad, but not spectacular. It’s your basic lo mein. Would be WAY better if
It’s hard baby corn.

Pork fried rice… no. Flavor is completely off and bland. The color is off. Just no thank you.

Spring rolls… also lacking. The flavor just isn’t there. It actually has an unpleasant after taste. I tried these on 3 different occasions, it was consistent each time with the same thoughts.

Egg rolls… fantastic! Which is funny, because I genuinely like spring rolls over egg rolls but these slap.

Crab rangoons… we goonin!!! They’re so
Good! So much flavor and crunch!

Hot and sour soup… sadly dissatisfied and disappointed. What a heart break. Flavor is not there, not very spicy. And there was not enough bamboo shoots and other typical foods that are in the soup.

Egg drop… it’s an ok/good.

That’s all for now. I will continue to eat here because I love the general.“

“I honestly love the food at this place. This may be one of the best Chinese Cuisine spots in Cincinnati. Their Lo Mein and Rice has always been cooked perfectly and they didnt skimp out on the meat. I have noticed the quality of alot of Chinese restaurants have gone downhill over the years but this place fills the gap. Prices have gone up on all Chinese food but this place actually can justify theirs.“

“We got the orange chicken and fried rice sesame seed chicken with a fried rice pretty good the only reason they got four out of five the rice was a little under season wasn't a fan of the egg rolls but there's still time to try other ones they have but overall it's still a solid place to get something to eat“

“Ate there last night; the food was great, and everyone was warm anf friendly“

“The owners and staff are awesome people!! We frequent this establishment very often and always have a great time and experience! Food and atmosphere is awesome!! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“I took my 2yr old and 7yr old here for lunch and they had a fun time cooking their own food. We got the bento lunch and it was delicious. I recommend the miso broth and spicy chicken. The mushroom broth is very light and tasty too. They keep napkins in a drawer under the front of the table which was very helpful with kids. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My son was fascinated by the robot server. We will definitely be back soon. One of the best dining experiences we've had in a long long time.“

“I come here VERY frequently, and every single time I am left satisfied. Their chicken friend rice with yum yum sauce is simply perfect. My FAV however is their chicken curry with onion dish! Soooo good!! Their food is always hot, on time, and freshly cooked!“

“Love the food at this location but the service in the drive-thru is terrible . Greeting someone with “ what would you like “ then after they are finished saying “ pull up” is completely unprofessional. As a manager , these employees would benefit from an additional training in customer service.“

“Food was fantastic, restaurant was clean, and David was helpful and friendly! We loved it and will be back! Yessir!“

“Terrific General Tso Chicken. The sauce has just a little heat to it and is a little sweet and flavorful. The fried rice has some veggies in it, and has good flavor on its own. The bourbon chicken is also good, basically the same as General Tso but the sauce has no heat and has just a little bourbon tinge. Three wontons in my soup, and it was delicious.“

“Ordered a large carryout for around 20 people on a Friday night and they were easily able to accommodate. Jason was super helpful and even let me know when I had ordered too much food and fixed my order, which turned out to be the proper amount. He even threw in some Crab Rangoon on the house. I'll add this place to our usual rotation when I need to feed the staff. 👍“
