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.“

“Can't bear the price.,3 large size peices of fish and fries for $11.00. Excellent customer service which is very rare now a days“

“Went for lunch. It was great. Had chicken with noodles and pork with rice noodles. Both were delicious. excellent from the food to the great service and friendly personnel. Will be back for sure.“

“Never disappointed with their flavorful options.“

“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.“

“Saturday evening dining brought a loud and crowded environment. Server was trying to do the best he could but it was obvious they were short staffed. Long wait in between courses and disappointed with the crispy green bean appetizer which came saturated in grease. The tempura was not tasty. Filet Entree was just ok, nothing special. Kudos to the bar tender as he kept the much needed $8.99 cocktail specials coming!“

“One of the best meals I have had in awhile. The service was too notch and our server was very attentive. The atmosphere was nice and the food was delicious. I got the hunan chicken and it was a very large portion so I pretty much got 2 meals out of it. I also got a pot of the ginger peach tea which was very good. Highly recommend!“

“I have been looking for a place like this for years. When I lived in Southern California I had a place very similar. Other Columbus Asia restaurants are more Chinese focused it seems. Ordered for the first time tonight and I’m sold. Many future orders to follow“

“Best egg rolls I’ve ever had. Amazing food and fast delivery.“

“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“

“Yay!! A place with authentic Chinese offerings on this side of town too!! Check out this menu!! Today we had a few things including the corn and fish filets, which was suuuuper yum!! Light, crispy, flaky fish in a cream of corn sauce perfect atop rice 🍚 I'll be back for more and other dishes 🤤 sorry, forgot to take photos of the food, but I did get the menu...

Chinese American lunch specials also seemed decent.“

“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.“

“Delicious food and generous portions! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and packaged well for takeout. The service was good overall, though there was a slight wait. I’d definitely order from here again and recommend it if you’re looking for great Chinese food.“

“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.“

“WHO IS THE NEW CHEF?? Seriously though big difference in the quality and taste of the food.
We order from here a few times a month. Got food Friday, sooo good! Got it again tonight, even better!! You can tell it’s a new chef. It’s like Chinese soul. Definitely hits right now. Now work on the egg rolls and that would make it a perfect experience
Hunan chicken and beef, side of hot oil and white rice 😋😋“

“This is my favorite local Chinese food. I'm new to cbus and I have tried a bunch of Chinese food places since arriving. This is the best one by far. Their food really is so fresh, the sauce they use is the BEST tasting sauce. They are fast, friendly and my order is always correct, with free extras. Last week I got a free soup. LOVE this place.“

“Crab Rangoon - 10/10. Best I have found in the Columbus. Traditional shape, six in a order, filling is a wonderful blend ( but not blended/pureed), seasoned, overall filling size was prefect. The wonton was fried evenly, tasted fresh and did not taste as if it was fired with other menu items. This was a to go order and they did travel, about 10 mins, and held up well.

Will be back for main menu items and will update my review as I try everything. 😋“

“Good food 🥘 and friendly 👯‍♀️staff. The waitstaff is very attentive. Friendly atmosphere. My family enjoyed their dinner.“

“The food is always done within 10-15 minutes of us ordering. They're good at taking orders over the phone, and polite when we go in to pick it up. The order is never incorrect, no matter what we end up getting. I absolutely love this place because the food is always consistently good and fresh. Some places aren't consistent or their rice is dry and we've literally never had a problem with this place. The best Chinese food around and highly recommend to everyone.“

“If you do not give this place a try you have missed something special.“

“Great food, generous portions, and excellent service!

I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai and was really impressed. The portion was very generous and packed with flavor. The shrimp were fresh, a really good size, and there were plenty throughout the dish. The noodles were flavorful and well prepared, with a nice balance of ingredients that made every bite enjoyable.

I also ordered the Orange Chicken, and it was just as good. The chicken had a great flavor, and I especially liked that it included pieces of real orange, which gave the dish a fresh citrus touch. It came with white rice, and once again, the portions were very generous. You definitely get a good amount of food for your order.

The service was another highlight of our visit. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and they made sure we had everything we needed without making us feel rushed. The combination of flavorful food, fresh ingredients, large portions, and great customer service made for a very enjoyable experience.

Overall, I was very happy with Mr. Wok and would definitely recommend giving it a try. I’ll certainly be coming back to try more items from the menu!“

“Love the spicy wings?“

“Great meal and great service. Best 🍜 I’ve had.“

“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!“

“Coming from New York I’ve been looking for a great Chinese food restaurant. The hospitality here is great. The food here is great. The shrimp fried rice reminded me of the shrimp fried rice from the Chinese restaurants in New York. It took me 2 1/2 years to find a Great (Chinese) restaurant. Ping is a great host. She was amazing. Thing brought us out free vegetable rolls and crab Rangoon’s.“

“My husband and friends have been going there for over 40 years for lunch. Some of the guys almost every day. Owners are like friends and come to cook outs with the group on holidays. Food is ready great. They will tailor dishes to your preference. Great place.“

“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.“

“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!“

“It’s always the “hole-in-the-wall” places that are the best and that’s the case with Eastern Wok. They make their dumplings in house and they are SPECTACULAR!!! I haven’t tried anything here that I didn’t like. Everything is stellar and the staff is top notch! They always make sure my kids are enjoying the food (they should know based on how often we come in that they do). Highly recommended and will continue to come back until I move or they close. Which I hope neither happens.“

“Great neighborhood restaurant! Food is good and staff is friendly!“

“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!!“

“Quick, easy & good during pandemic!“

“Not the most appealing appearance on the outside and not the best location but.....HANDS DOWN THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHINESE FOOD IN COLUMBUS. I have eaten here since I was 9 years old. I have TASTED every Chinese restaurant in Columbus and this is the BEST,in my opinion! My family and friends also agree. Literally the entire family, from grandma, mom and dad, siblings, and all of our kids , it's the Best.

UPDATE AS OF MAY 1, 2026:

My absolute favorite place in Columbus been going there since I was about 11 years old and I’m 39 now Family goes there. My children have grown up loving it don’t get it wrong. We go all over and try every Pl., Reynoldsburg Pickerington, Westerville, Arlington, Dublin, West Side, Columbus Hilliard, any place we can find Chinese food we have tried throughout the years and still believe Golden House is 💯#🥇🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Great value for the money. For $35 or so, you can eat dinner and have enough leftovers to feed your family 2 more meals. The food is very tasty and is served quick. There's no atmosphere to speak of, but the restaurant is clean and relatively quiet for a Chinese take out location. This is my go to place for Asian food on a budget.“

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

“This was seriously the best place I have been to since moving to columbus. The restaurant serious felt like home. They provide free water and dishes to eat with your friends and the music is beautiful.
The food itself was incredible, the Mapo Tofu's temperature was perfect, I felt healed as I ate it.
The owner himself is an incredible guy and really made an effort to make the place feel safe and welcoming. He protects his customers, as we are healing from the beautiful food.
Favorite Dishes: Mapo tofu“

“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!“

“1st miss for this place in a long time. I ordered Gen Tso chicken. What I got was not good at all. There was virtually NO sauce - just a bunch of pre formed balls of some non descript protein. Rather underwhelming and not the first hint of spice.“

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

“Ginger is the best waitress ever!!“

“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.“

“The Mongolian beef was amazing. The beef was cooked perfectly and went so well with the onions and green onions. The rich flavor of the sauce blended so well and really brought everything together, and it was pretty filling. We enjoyed our dinner and would definitely return!“

“We found Peking Dynasty on Livingston when the old Chinese restaurant we went to closed - super sad. BUT, we decided to try this place after several other places we tried were terrible - BUT - Peking Dynasty is SO good!!! It's the only chinese place we will order from. The spicy tofu and green beans are amazing - never disappointed. The Hot & Sour Soup and Wonton soup is AMAZING!!!“

“It's a perfect place for a family dinner or a date or work meeting. Everyone here is so kind and accommodating and the food is delicious and the portions are great as well as the prices.

I brought my family here for our dinner night and they loved my kids and was so patient and caring for with them and the service was the best.“

“Consistently good food! Authentic Chinese food. I live half an hour away but I crave their food at least a couple times a month. It’s hard to find good food at a reasonable price. They have some dishes that you can’t find at other restaurants in Columbus.“

“First time trying this. I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and got a new dish, I tried the black pepper beef and it was absolutely fantastic. I ordered for pickup and it was ready within minutes. The owners are so very sweet and the price for a lunch portion was extremely reasonable. I will definitely be coming back soon“

“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“

“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“
