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.“

“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 🥰🥰🥰“

“The owners make all of the delicious food prepared in this restaurant from scratch. Everyone in our family loves this place! We order food from there often, and have for years-it is the place most requested during family gatherings. The owners are absolutely wonderful!“

“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.“

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

“We love the food and the owner! The owner had also owned Fortune which used to be in the same shopping center before it was redone (10+ years ago). The food then was great and the food now is great with a new interior! We love spicy szechuan cuisine and they can deliver!! We love it so much we drive an hour now to get it! 😄“

“The food and service was so good! We started with Bao Buns and Seared potstickers and they were so delicious. Wait was a little long between courses but dinner was a tuna poke bowl and cashew chicken with fried rice - AGAIN DELICIOUS! We took dessert to go - coconut cream pie and chocolate cake. Coconut cream pie was creamy and delightful, chocolate cake looked delicious but was dry and a bit disappointing - thank goodness we had ice cream at home to help with that.“

“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.“

“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.“

“PF.Chang had been on our to-visit list for a long time and they met all our expectations. The food was delicious, served in generous portions. The atmosphere was laid back, while service was attending with a smile. Next day after our visit, I noticed I had left my credit card there. I called and they had set it aside for me to pick up. We will definitely return.“

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

“I eat here all the time, and every single experience has been amazing. Their food tastes just as good when I take it home! When I order delivery, they always pack the noodles and soup separately, so when I get home, the noodles are still perfectly chewy.Their Dan Dan hand stretch noodle is honestly the best noodle dish I’ve ever had. If you usually order stir-fried noodles, definitely upgrade to the hand pulled noodle— it’s on another level! Their noodles are nothing like the store-bought kind; you can tell they’re hand-pulled from the texture alone, they are so springy.And the soup dumpling are absolutely incredible. This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Columbus!“

“Love the spicy wings?“

“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!!!!“

“I have been ordering delivery from here for over a decade. Before Door Dash and all that. I have never stepped foot inside their store so I cannot rate atmosphere. What I can rate is the exceptional delivery service and friendly staff I encounter. The food is pretty good for short order Chinese food. I have had most of the popular items and many of my obscure favorites. But back to the service.. The food is always delivered HOT! Fresh and quick. I literally burnt my tongue on the Veggie Soup I just ordered (saying this just to show how fast they are). And best of all is my order is 99.9% accurate! Even special requests. It goes without saying that I will continue ordering from here unless something crazy happens. Fine establishment and customer focused! Great work GCE! Keep it up. Editing to add a few other thoughts...The prices are very fair based on portions. And my go to items are the Chicken Teriyaki appetizer #6. The Fried Dumplings, and the Kung Pao Chicken Extra Spicy. The Veggie Soup is very flavorful. And believe it or not... Their fried chicken wings are meaty, crispy and good price! I will order a few orders of them then toss em in homemade buffalo sauce or other sauces. Boom! Great for weekend football gatherings.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Best food and service! So glad they are back.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“** 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.“

“This is my first time trying Halal China Bistro and I am not mad I took the 25 minute drive each way. The lady was nice and the portions were plentiful. I started eating before I realized I hadn't taken a picture. The bourbon chicken and the rest of the dishes were tasty. The rice was a cross between fried and white with no veggies inside of it.“

“I ordered the beef and broccoli dinner combo. Best, tender beef I've ever had in a Chinese restaurant. The egg roll was piping hot. Also got fried dumplings that we enjoyed. $25 total. This is THE ONLY Chinese restaurant I will go to in Columbus and I lived in Toronto!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“We get food here all the time, it's always excellent! The tofu especially is really good, the way they cook it gives it a great texture & flavor. Great prices and big portions, it's always at least 2-3 meals for me. Highly recommend!! :)“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant! The fried noodles and fried chicken were unbelievably delicious — super flavorful and cooked perfectly. On top of that, the service was amazing, and one of the servers even looks like Eddie Peng, which definitely added to the fun of the visit. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“My wife and I have recently found this amazing restaurant. We have been twice and looking forward to many more visits.“

“It's the Bomb everytime“

“We love this place! My husband and I have been here a number of times over the years, and it has always had a warm and inviting atmosphere with really great food. We’ve had all the broth options, and they are all flavorful and comforting (although chicken mushroom is my fav). The meats are good quality, and the amount you get for the money is pretty good.

Lately we have been going back for the soup dumplings which are made fresh to order and worth the wait. We’ve had both the chicken and pork, and both are delicious.

Staff is always super friendly and helpful, and the restaurant is clean and well kept. Go try it!“

“Haven’t stopped in here in a bit, just on a whim I came in for an early dinner. I got myself something for dine in and a to go order as well. The staff is very friendly, quite attentive. I devoured my appetiser. I got myself an order of orange chicken( I’m a basic white girl I can’t help myself) and my word it is delicious. You can tell the chef loves their craft. The price cannot be beat either! If you’re in the Polaris/westerville area and looking for quick, cheap, delicious food- you gotta come here.“

“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!“
