19 Best Chinese Restaurants near Maineville

“The food is Good but where is this place really shines is the young man who answers the phone and works the register he is the kindest friendliest most pleasant person to deal with. Just left from there and he gave my four year-old daughter full-size candy bar that she got to pick and a bottle of water and this is not the first time that he has done that and when my daughter was shy to say thank you he told me not to press her and said that that’s just how kids are and was so kind and understanding. I absolutely recommend this place and not just for their food that young man deserves a raise for sure, and it doesn’t matter who goes into pick up the food. It could be me or my husband and my husband has the same exact experience.“

“This is our go to Chinese carry out in the area. Not the most convenient location for us, but it's the best tasting we've tried over the years. The standard Chinese menu is available and they are usually very quick with the food. Not a place I'd want to dine in as the atmosphere is kind of bleak, but for take out.“

“I work nearby and come often... not your average asian spot. Super fast take out, Very high quality ingredients - the meat tastes like meat! if you like to eat healthy, the vegetable portion is generous, fresh, and delicious. Enjoy the bean sprouts! The doneness of the veggies is perfect, still crisp yet cooked through. Sauce is on point, not overly sweet, but flavorful. Get the beef and broccoli shanghai noodle, it never disappoints.“

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

“This is our family’s favorite Chinese take out spot in the area. Always consistent, quick, delicious food. Their wonton soup is very good. They have great prices and great service. We have tried many of their dishes and have never been disappointed.“

“Authentic, tasty and fulfilling food!“

“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?

“Awesome take out, fresh/Flavorful/well portioned.“

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

“I haven't had a bad meal there yet.“

“best around and good portions“

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

“Best pepper steak in Cincinnati! Love timmys wok“

“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)“

“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!“

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

“This is our new favorite Chinese takeout place of all time. I don't say that lightly. The food was excellent, the staff were nice, it was very affordable compared to other places, the portions were very large, and our carryout order was ready in 10 minutes. I got the General Tso chicken with fried rice; my wife got sesame chicken. We got the crab rangoon together. The food was well sealed and very hot when we took it home. The chicken tender on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. The rice paired well with it. The sauce was really good. The inside of the crab rangoon was creamy and moist, and the outside was crunchy perfection. I was skeptical of this place before I tried it. Now. I just want more of their food.“

“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!“

“Amazing taste ! Hyderabad dum and Vijayawada boneless are my fav. Recent management change was awesome! They were about to close and they served us past closing time and food was then there made ! Akka was lovely!! Must try Indian food place !“
