50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Powell

“We have been coming here for years. Their food quality and service has always been consistently great. My kids love the shrimp lo mein. I get wonton soup and chicken with broccoli. My husband has tried quite a few dishes and always enjoys his meal. We love supporting this family run local business.“

“Food got out fast even though there is only two people working in there. I’ve noticed they usually get it out a lot faster if you go into the store. They definitely have room to improve with the interior and menu being very old but overall a good experience and quality food.“

“I'm a person who is extremely biased by reviews before trying a new place. The reviews for Lin's wok are beyond wrong. The food is REALLY good and honestly, more homemade and healthier than your average cheap Chinese place. I only order chinese from here, and never have had a bad experience. I 100% recommend the sesame beef, chicken and vegetables and fried rice. The springrolls and crabrangoons are soo good too!“

“This place has awesome dishes. Great prices and a good size parking lot... service was exceptional as well... lunch portions STILL a hefty size. I get Sweet n Sour chicken. Only complaint is, on pick up/ delivery orders, they should put the sauce on the side..it makes chicken soggyish... otherwise 🥰🥰🥰“

“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“

“The food was fresh and delicious! Restaurant is clean and welcoming. The staff is friendly and attentive!“

“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.“

“Took a chance on this place because I was craving lo mein and it’s close to my apartment. The food is phenomenal and not super expensive. Their spring rolls are probably the best I’ve ever eaten! The shrimp in their shrimp lo mein is super flavorful, and the veggies are super crunchy. I can’t recommend Chuan Jiang Hao Zi enough!

Parking: Very easy to pick up, lots of parking and you can get in & out quickly“

“I have been going to Molly Woo's for years and now dinning at the bar for lunch is my favorite seat. Our service, provided by Kelley, was excellent as always. He guided us on selections and the food is top notch. I highly recommend this lunch time stop over subpar meals for just slightly less money. Now Woo's is my weekly lunch place.“

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

“Owned by a really nice family that lives in our neighborhood. We had the sesame chicken, chicken fried rice, and crab rangoons at my daughters birthday party. It was very good, sauce for sesame chicken was amazing and the fried rice was delicious, highly recommend!“

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

“Ordered Shrimp dumplings and Dynamite Shrimp for appetizers. The food good was good but lacked flavor. Not salty but was kind of overpowering.

For main course, ordered Singapore noodles which was good again a bit salty and tasted a bit like raw curry powder. At least one person in the group didn’t think so.
Kung Pao chicken was good but not the same as they used to make it. Just lacked flavor.
We also got the bone in and boneless Korean fried chicken. My vote goes to the bone in chicken. I think the best of all things we ordered.
Service was excellent as always.

We would go back but be selective with what we order.“

“Never disappointed with their flavorful options.“

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

“Delicious and authentic food. One of best Asian cafes on the Northwest side !!!“

“My husband and I were in the area and had the good fortune to stumble in between lunch and dinner. We got steamed dumplings to share. He had dan dan noodles while I had soup called A Bite of China featuring lily, kelp buds, ground pork, and hand-pulled noodles. The portions were so big and filling, and the noodles had great mouth feel in each dish. We got some shrimp chips and gourmet tea (kumquat grapefruit green) for the evening - such a great pairing that I want to try more!

Vegetarian options: The servers are glad to tell you about the menu, and can take items out of dishes to make them vegetarian. The kitchen itself is not vegetarian, though.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“My family and I used to come here all the time when we lived in Hilliard. The Golden China team knew us well and even remembered our usual orders. The authenticity of the food—especially the egg rolls, sesame chicken, and fried rice—always kept us coming back.
After moving away from Hilliard 11 years ago, I started returning in 2024 since Golden China is right between my work and home. I’m happy to say the food is still just as authentic and delicious as I remember. Golden China has truly stood for being the best!“

“huge menu. very excited to go back after my first time. wish it was not so far away for me“

“On a whim we went to Hunan Lion tonight for dinner - it was excellent! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food was very delicious. I honestly cannot wait until we go again, I want to try everything on the menu!“

“A very low key restaurant with family environment, friendly service, fast serving, and authentic Chinese food! They have so many traditions choices which are hard to find in other restaurants and the portion is so huge! I absolutely love this restaurant!“

“I have been coming here over the years so today it was nice to bring my kids somewhere that I have been coming to, every so often, since I was in my teens. I have no complaints.
And actually, my son dropped some sesame chicken on himself and on the ground and the lady immediately came over and helped clean him up and his clothes. I was focused on cleaning the floor and table but she didn’t even notice those, only the mess on my son. She showed much compassion in this moment in my eyes.
Great customer service. The food is still the same quality it has been. My son said he wants to come here more often. And we can’t get my baby to leave right now, still eating his fried rice!“

“Four of us went here for carryout as we needed the last minute meal. We all got different things and most of it was good. I got the wor su gai which was nothing like I've ever had anywhere. I order this dish a lot at various Chinese restaurants, but this one had like a breaded chicken and the sauce was not the yellow or brown gravy it tasted like a teriyaki sauce and it looked like teriyaki sauce. It was good but in no way tasted like wor su gai. I thought the egg rolls were good as well. The lady was very nice at the restaurant and thanked us numerous times for the business. And she threw in a egg drop soup and everybody's to go order and wrote free on the lid. I don't eat that soup. so it just want to waste on me, but it was very nice that she did that. I would maybe try it again, but get something different. They were a little slow, but not bad.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I am from New York. Tonight was my first time eating this restaurants food (I never reorder the same place because chinese food out of NYC is awful), and I will definitely be ordering from here again. Best Chinese food I have eaten in all of CBUS and its not even close.“

“I usually love Q2. Last time I ordered, I noticed the quality was a little less. This time I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps and received 90% uncooked carrots. The eggroll is always excellent, and I’ve enjoyed their other dishes, maybe request that they don’t skimp on the meat next visit?“

“It doesn’t get much better for a local family Chinese place than this. I have been eating here for at least 20 years and it’s always tasty and fresh. The egg rolls and Rangoon are great. The Mongolian beef is a personal favorite but I also love the fried rice. A particularly amazing batch of pork fried rice inspired this review tonight. The prices are good and the service is great. Do yourself a solid and give them a try sometime.“

“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.“

“Just walking in and I knew it was gonna be good. They don't waste money on decor. The staff were friendly and the food seemed authentic. Definitely different than most American knock offs.

We got 3 dishes:

The stir fry ramen was good. Perfect lunch fair and great for little mouths.

The squid had great flavor and was pleasantly spicy.

The tofu was very spicy but was missing something. Not sure what but seemed lacking.

I appreciated my ice water but the husband got the walovi. It was pleasant and herbal.

All of these dishes are easily shareable so a great place for a lunch date.“

“Love the spicy wings?“

“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!!“

“Had a fabulous vegetable egg roll and vegetable pho. Lots of yummies in the soup and on the side. Loved it!“

“This was my first experience here as I'm working out of town on this one.
Pepper steak was very tasty rice was cooked perfect green peppers were cooked perfectly as were the onions and every part of the pepper steak was proportioned evenly, some places will throw an abnormal amount of onions in the mix to try and save a buck.
I recommend give them a try.“

“Delicious food and super friendly staff. A great addition to Polaris!“

“It's the Bomb everytime“

“** 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.“

“We ordered crab rangoons, General Tsos Chicken with fried rice and sweet and sour chicken with white rice. Food was delicious, sweet and sour chicken was crunchy, light and tasty. General Tsos Chicken was full of flavor. Our total bill was $32 and after placing the order over the phone, food was ready within 10 minutes. Definitely recommend this place!“

“Love this place. Food is always fresh and tasty. I always get the shrimp lomein and love it. People that complain about the prices going up are simply broke and complainers. Economy isn't what it used to be but even so its extremely cheap.“

“I love this place fr. The food is excellent, and no matter who is at the counter, they always give us a big smile and offer samples. I've been here many times since I've moved to Columbus. Easily one of the best Chinese places I've ever been to!“

“I visited Lucky Dragon recently and honestly, it was one of the best Chinese meals I’ve had in a while. I completely forgot to take a photo of the food — that’s how good it was! The fried rice was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they care about quality.

The restaurant itself is very spacious, clean, and welcoming. The atmosphere makes it a great place to dine in, whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner with friends or family. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive — they made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in.

If you’re looking for delicious Chinese food in a comfortable setting, Lucky Dragon is definitely worth checking out.

“The cashew tofu was delicious! I’ll be ordering delivery from them again and look forward to stopping in. FYI their vegan menu doesn’t show up on DoorDash like it does on the website, but you can make notes on other selections to specify what you’d like!“

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

“The Dragon House is recommend on several of the "best of" sites. Many of the sites write about the delicious food and the large portions for a reasonable price. What impressed us the most was the wonderful waitress. She answered our questions and carried on a conversation throughout our meal. We plan to go back to visit her as much as try sometime else on the menu.“

“The Mala Xiang Guo was perfect in taste and fragrance! We forgot to ask them to omit the numb seeds, which numbed our mouths, but everything else was excellent. The price is very reasonable, and we'll definitely be back to try the Malatang next time.“

“Amazing !! We will be going back.“

“Exceptionally professional, clean, relaxing atmosphere. My friend and I both ordered the cashew chicken, and it was delicious! The portions are huge, more than enough for 2-3 smaller meals. And the prices are very reasonable. I already can't wait to go back to try something else from their menu!“
