50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Gahanna

“This restaurant is absolutely a step above typical Asian restaurants when it comes to flavor, ingredients and spice. My meals are always delicious. DEFINITELY better than Joy Food One. I appreciate how consistently good they are; I probably order from here twice a month, and I’ve never had a bad meal. The steamed pork dumplings and basil chicken are standouts for me, but it’s all great!“

“I normally have my food delivered one to two times a month. I must say, I have never had such great service taking my order accurately and getting my order so fast. I normally get one egg roll, peppered steak and crab rangoons. My food has always been excellent! I want to thank Golden China for doing such an great job and being so friendly.“

“Great neighborhood take out restaurant. Chicken lo mein, crab rangoons, and won ton soup is really good. First time getting Mongolian chicken here- ordered medium spicey and that was great but other than that the chicken didnt have much flavor. Have ordered here before and likely will again. Good service and good food.“

“Always a great experience at Genghis Grill! The staff is friendly, the food is fresh, and I love that you can build your own bowl exactly how you want it. Everything comes out hot and seasoned just right. The team moves quick even when it’s busy, and the atmosphere always feels welcoming. Perfect spot for lunch or dinner if you want something flavorful and filling. Highly recommend!“

“First time take away order from GAR. My family and I loved it! Excellent Pad Thai and Mala Green Beans. Also loved the mini spring rolls and the house hot mustard dipping sauce with it. Its way better than those little packets of hot mustard usually given. Quick service, affordable pricing, great menu variety and very clean looking establishment. I will be calling them again soon, 5/5 stars!“

“This American Chinese restaurant mainly served American Chinese cuisine. My server recommended the beef fried noodles which tasted authentic. The dining room was clean with a decent bar. There were some cheap alcohol selections during happy hour. WiFi was fast. Glad to see that many American people liked dining at this place.“

“Had reservations on 12/24 at another local Chinese restaurant which was not going well and really no confidence we were ever going to order or get served. A member of our party called Asian Taste who said they were open until 9 pm and had a table for us.

Got there and everything was great. Had a table for us and food was incredible. Saved our Christmas Eve night out. Will certainly come back and will now be our go to for Chinese cuisine.“

“I came in around 2:30. I've been looking for a new go to Chinese restaurant for 2 years. The employees were very nice and the restaurant looked very clean. The food was nothing special. There wasn't enough sauce on the cashew chicken and lomein. However the veg was very crisp. I am unsure of the freshness of the veg. I may try it again.“

“I used to deliver there every Friday while my daughter was at Ohio State and we would eat there for lunch,absolutely the best ever“

“We ordered take out so we can't rate the atmosphere. My husband had wor sue gai and I had spicy lo mein with chicken. Generous serving size and best we've had in years. We used to eat here years ago but somehow forgot about this place. That won't happen again. The food is delightful, awesome, and priced fairly!!!!“

“Went with wife and grandkids. Very nice place. Waiters were very nice and helpful. Some of best Chinese food I’ve had. Would definitely recommend to anyone.“

“Best Chinese food I've had since China magic wok closed in Grove city. Service is fast, depending on order size, usually only takes 20 minutes. And the food is excellent. Fairly priced as well. You won't find better take out anywhere in Columbus.“

“I grew up off this Chinese Food location. Watched the kids grow up and all lol. The food is absolutely delicious. It's a simple come and go order place. Anything you order will usually be done in 10 minutes, the egg rolls are great, and different menu items have never disappointed.“

“Y’all ALWAYS get my order perfect, never have to check the bag. Great food that’s insanely inexpensive and they pack the bowls to the top. Get like 10 servings out of 3 meals! Everything I tried from here is good too. One of my favorites is the chicken chow mei fun. Highly recommend.

Update** just discovered their lunch deals!
11-3 everyday but Sunday you can get an entree, rice, egg roll and drink for like $10 i am pregnant and couldn’t decide what I wanted so I got 4 different meals for $40 lol what a steal! I’ve been craving broccoli and their broccoli with garlic sauce is phenomenal!“

“Love the spicy wings?“

“This summer I spent a month in Taiwan and have been missing the food terribly. Lan Zhou reminded me so much of the small little noodle shops with incredible food I grew to love while abroad. Their beef noodle soup was lovely- the greens on top were perfect and the beef was tender. I prefer a slightly more springy noodle, and these were very soft and tender- not my favorite, but I can't complain.
I'm very excited to return.“

“I have been wanting to try this place for so long and finally did on Friday! I ordered the shrimp udon noodle soup and it exceeded my expectations. It was so delicious and flavorful. I am so happy I tried and I can’t wait to come back and try more menu items! Thank you Mr. Wok.“

“The chef, I think he is the owner said that Chow Fun is his best. I also recommend that menu if you want to try some non-Americanized Chinese food. There's some extra chilly oil on the shelves, put them in your plate and you might feel different. The picture I attached is Malatang.“

“love there food!!
this a family owned Biz and it shows in there food!
I've never been disappointed by their food I will say their generals Sal's chicken though could be spicier other then that there chicken on a stick is always hot and fresh *one if my favorite things from them* over all really good experience! also reasonable pricing for two people it was 50 bucks!!“

“Today we tried Golden China Express for the first time. We loved Hunan Lion, but it has been closed so long after a terrible fire. Golden China Express is very much nearby for us, but we didn't know what to expect.\nWe could not have been more pleased. The Lo Mein and War Sue Gai were delicious and with generous portions. We split a large WonTon Soup which was also delicious.\nIt was a rather large order, as we included friends, and enjoyed the meal together. The online order was easy to complete and it was ready for pickup when promised. There were absolutely no mistakes in the order and we were all pleased with the taste of all the menu items. We plan to return often to Golden China Express. Try it soon yourself. We think you will be glad you did. Great Chinese food at affordable prices! \n--John and Steffanie Haueisen, Worthington, Ohio“

“This would be my second time trying the Chinese food here, the first time I don't think the restaurant was having a bad day, however I just wanted to give them another chance, (the egg rolls are amazing) yesterday I stopped in for lunch and let me say how wonderful the food was!! The egg rolls were amazing, and the sweet and sour chicken, yummy! I ordered the white rice this time to be safe but oh my hot and fresh everything was, nice job, keep it up.“

“We live in Lewis Center and have a place around the corner that we used to go to. My husband liked it okay but I hated it I eventually just got something else whenever he wanted it. It never tastes like real chicken to me no matter what I get, it’s weird. Anyways we were in the area 4 days ago and I wasn’t really feeling well so we just grabbed this to eat to get home. I was nervous because the 4.1 stars. But wow I’m so glad we tried it! I got the orange chicken and my husband got the pepper steak. So good. Then tonight we had it again I ordered the orange chicken and he tried the wor sue gai. Very good. Husband also said place is clean inside. From now on we travel 4 times the distance for this place and I don’t mind!“

“BEST CHINESE IN COLUMBUS!! Hands down!! The orange chicken, lo mein & moo goo gai pan are soo good & everything is always hot & fresh. They also have reasonable prices & fast delivery. I've never gotten anything from here that I didn't love!! Try it, you won't be disappointed!! They are a small takeout restaurant in Southeast Columbus that doesn't look like much, but the looks are deceiving. I won't get Chinese food from anywhere else in Columbus & that's a fact!“

“The best General Tsos chicken and and the best Singapore Noodles!“

“Was in Columbus for a concert and I walked a few blocks here for dinner. I didn’t see sweet and sour shrimp on the menu (only chicken & pork) and asked if they served it. They whipped me up an off-menu speciality on the spot. And it was terrific! Huge shrimp in a delicious sauce, big chunks of green pepper, etc. Their egg rolls were also nice and crunchy which I love and that seems to be harder to find anymore at places I try. The woman working was watching soap operas or something at full volume but I had earbuds in and was too distracted by the tasty meal to mind. Super good meal and wish I lived closer as I’d love to have it again“

“I found this place by accident, now I find myself there as often as I can be. This place is by far the best place for sushi and a big bowl of coconut curry ramen. Holy hell!!“

“Ginger is the best waitress ever!!“

“Love this place so much, they got my favorite yellow fried rice and the crab rangoons HIT. Been looking for a spot for two years and I finally found this place. Super grateful! Nice staff, seating while you wait, and overall you'll have a warm belly by the end of your plate“

“This location is great. I usually do takeout, and order family style. I recommend the steamed dumplings, egg rolls, string bean chicken (get it extra spicy), the hunan chicken, the lo mein, and fried rice. The people who work here are always super nice, and it's a family run business.“

“A great family owned business. Amazing food & extremely welcoming staff.“

“We went to the Ace of Cups to watch a performance by Galactic Empire yesterday and we're hungry so we went across the street to Northeast Chinese restaurant. This little hidden spot for most folks turned out to be some of the best Chinese food that I have eaten in my life and I have eaten Chinese food all over the world. The portions are huge, the price is good and the staff very friendly. I recommended anybody traveling through Columbus that might want some good Chinese food, to look this place up and go there and eat.“

“This is probably one of the best places on high street. Dumplings are where it is at. The staff is friendly and the food is always good. I go there about every Friday. Prices for portion are great, especially when compared to the rest of high street.“

“I have been a patron of this establishment for many years, consistently bringing my family and friends, and we have always had positive experiences. The cuisine has consistently met mid to high standards, and it is an excellent venue for family gatherings. I have consistently held this establishment in high regard. The food is on point and so are the prices“

“** New ownership 07/31/24 **
We were surprised that the place had been closed for quite some time as it was our go-to place for Chinese takeout. It has been a staple for Marcus theatre area for many many years. It finally reopened under new ownership, but no sign.

The owner was there to greet us and show us the menu. Very nice guy and felt welcomed. We ordered the orange chicken, bokchoy dish, and chicken egg roll. Food was hot and the bokchoy was our favorite dish. Orange chicken wasn't the best but wasn't bad either (would get again). My only gripe is that the prices are similar to a sit-down full-service restaurant and not your typical take-out Chinese food prices. While I would love to come here again the price is way too high for us as we like to go get a quick meal before a movie, etc. I get it the prices need to be adjusted to match inflation/food costs but the price point before new ownership was so good.

All in all, I do want to try the other dishes as the food was good but it won't be on a regular basis as the prices are not competitive with traditional TOGO Chinese places.

PRE new ownership - Food is good and consistent, service is always great. The place could do for a make over as the place seems like it has stayed the same for many many years. But on that note, the prices are super cheap.“

“Today was the first time ordering from here and let me tell you..they have a forever customer!
I ordered the Chicken and Broccoli with Fried rice.
Food was so flavorful, hot and fresh, don't want to leave out how large the portions were.
This was a gem of a place.
Extremely satisfied and looking forward to eating here again!“

“Delicious food, friendly family business, reasonable prices, huge portions, large menu, and convenient location for those in northern central Ohio.... can't ask for anything more. My family's favorite Chinese restaurant.“

“Excellent Food staying at Hotel near by order dinner Uber Eats driver showed up with order but no utensils.....Called owner told Uber driver didn't take bag of utensils he sent someone over with utensils and a bottle of Coke. I tried to tip him $10 for covering the failure of the Uber driver WHAT GREAT SERVICE AND DINNER GREAT place!!“

“Asian Star China Buffet is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys classic Asian cuisine and does not mind a buffet setting. The food is consistently delicious, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from, although the menu is pretty statis and does not change that often. The quality and flavor are always top-notch, making it a reliable go-to spot for a great meal.

The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, which adds to the overall dining experience. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. One thing that really stands out is how well they manage the buffet line. There’s usually someone on the floor keeping an eye on things and radioing back to the kitchen when items need to be refilled. Because of that, the food stays fresh, fully stocked, and up-to-date throughout your visit.

Overall, Asian Star China Buffet delivers excellent food, great service, and a pleasant atmosphere. It’s one of the better buffets in the area and worth returning to again and again.“

“Yeah its a whole in the wall but don't the hole in the walls or mom and pops be the best places in da world . Well it's not the best in the world they are good I loveeeeeeeee their chicken wings and lemonade okayyyyyy. They are cooked as order also . The food is a hit and miss sometimes but I like the beef n broccoli and the wor shu gai.“

“The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious“

“This has been our go-to Chinese restaurant, especially for the lo mein;it’s consistently delicious and always hits the spot. The flavors are great, portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh every time we order.

We’re moving away soon, but this is one place we’ll genuinely miss. The food is so good that we’ll definitely be making special trips back just to enjoy it again. Highly recommend!“
