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.“

“We had our Saturday night dinner at the restaurant. Food was as sumptuous as it’s always at P. F. Chang restaurants.

The restaurant is just round the far corner in the sprawling shopping center. It’s wonderfully decorated and supported by a team of very energetic and talented people.

Drink and food suggested were perfect for our evening, we enjoyed the meal with World Cup soccer match on display on one of the TVs in the restaurant.

Will certainly continue to visit PF Chang in future. Thanks to the team at the restaurant!“

“We had a fantastic experience with Molly Woo's. We reserved a table via Google Maps, arrived a few minutes early and were seated immediately. The server was very prompt, friendly, and helpful. The food was incredible. We played it safe for this first visit and had Bao buns, Shrimp Pad Thai, and Sesame Chicken, but I feel confident that the next time we go, the Shrimp Lomein and Molly's Feast will be just as good if not better.“

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

“Never disappointed with their flavorful options.“

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

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

“Wheeww buddy we are ADDICTED to Genghis! Although it is insanely over priced for probably the last 3 weeks we have ordered from here every single day, the orange chicken with pineapples pepper extra crispy extra chicken on fried rice is the BOMB the peppers are seasoned like nothing I've ever seen the pineapple chunks are large and enough for every bite of chicken. This dish alone as a large is $33. But so worth it. I found this through Uber eats and they're quick to make and get it out to the driver, I can only remember two times that the chicken was super dry to the point of a refund but we were issued that no problem. If your on the fence, jump on over because you will be a repeat customer. I'd share pictures but by the time I remember it's already gone.. so you know it's good. 9/10 💕✨“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I just picked up my order, and oh MY GOODNESS!! I got the crab rangoons, steamed dumplings, and pork lo mein for $26 total before tip. I am OBSESSED with these dumblings and the lo mein is so flavorful. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you!!“

“Dear Mr. Wok,
Amazing food, generous portions, and service that’s faster than I can decide what to order. Every visit reminds me that “I’ll try somewhere else next time” is a lie I keep telling myself. Five stars aren’t enough—I’d give you an extra star just for making broccoli taste exciting. 🍜🥡🥠“

“I've only had delivery, so I've never seen the restaurant itself but the food is fantastic! We love the Udon with Pork, it is savory and addictive. And the Mapo Tofu tastes likehome.Their egg rolls are delicious and OMG, the marinated eggs are so surprising. I love getting the picked daikon and carrot. This is one of our favorite places!“

“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.“

“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.“

“They generally do a nice job on hot fresh and faverful on everything. “My girlfriend orders”Probably the best wor su guy I’ve tasted. Drinks are properly poured. Good Job!
PS most of my reviews are 3 stars reviews. Most places are average or below.“

“Food was absolutely delicious!! Tasted like it was prepared with every ounce of love they could manage. The prices are insanely cheap especially compared to other places in this economy. Would definitely recommend to bring yourself and your family here. Will be eating here again !!“

“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.“

“This is absolutely THE BEST CHINESE CUISINE IN THE COLUMBUS AREA HANDS DOWN! GREAT PRICES, FABULOUS SERVICE, FANTASTIC THAI STYLE FOOD! You cannot get better Chinese food anywhere in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YELLOW CURRY CHICKEN THAI STYLE!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Love the spicy wings?“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 💯#🥇🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“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!!!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“** 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.“

“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!!“

“The food was delicious, plentiful, and the staff was incredibly efficient. Bang for your buck it would be hard to beat this place. Pretty much the perfect Chinese buffet. The only real stipulation seemed to be that you not waste food. If I lived in the area I would frequent this place. They also had a carry out option that seem pretty inexpensive.“

“Excellent. Top notch.“

“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!“

“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“

“Don’t let the location or looks fool you . The food is fire . vegan options .bean curd is like tofu and is good! They helped me both times order what I want, very kind people . Be patient if there’s any language barriers . Patience is key in life in general these days . try them out ! It’s cash only but they accept cash app or apple pay as well… (search by the phone number they show you to pay ethier way )“

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