50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Shawnee Hills

“We were doubtful when we first entered as no one was there inside seating. But when we got the food we really enjoyed a lot. Fried rice is very flavourful.. and crispy chicken skewers.. we asked for spicy peppercorn chicken it was really tasty just melts in our mouths, just end up ordering an another plate..
Ambiance is okay. Place is a bit dull but really enjoyed the food.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The best Wor Sui GUI I have gotten since I was a little girl. You are going to be missed“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 cannot say enough great things about this place! I love, love, LOVE the food! Prices are awesomely affordable & the owners are just great. You'd be silly to not go here ?.Side note - We've tried so many places around lewis center & powell and they've not been so good. I am so happy to have came across golden china ❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“** 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 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 🥰🥰🥰“

“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.

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best Asian food I have ever had. Love their peppercorn shrimp and Mali Beans!!!!“

“I'm SEA and my bf, who's Chinese, thought this would be something I love since the Yunnan province borders SEA and he said the flavor profiles would be similar. I LOVE rice noodles and this was AMAZING! It's clean, quiet, and the food is good. Very good ambience. My bf and his parents also said it was very good as well, so I trust their judgement on authenticity, but I sure trust my judgement on taste. My fellow SEAs, give this place a try. 11/10 in my book.“

“Ordered for pick up. Website was easy enough to navigate and order though. Paid using Apple Pay and got an email confirmation immediately. Ordered pork fried rice, hunan beef, general tso's chicken, egg drop soup, egg roll, and crab Rangoon. Came with two white rices as well. Everything tasted fresh and good. Tons of food for the $$$. The woman working when I went in was friendly and my food was ready at the quoted time. Definitely a little hole in the wall place, tucked back off Sawmill but was easy to find. Will be ordering again.“

“My gentleman and I are from out of town and found this place. The food was delicious! The hot & sour soup was so flavorful! I did a 'create your own' with chicken, veggies and the teriyaki... yum! My gentleman got the pepper steak and the steak was tender and delicious. The crab rangoons were so delicious also. They have a craft soda in their beverage machine.... o yea! The only negative was that the crab rangoons were a little light on the filling.“

“A great American Chinese fast food restaurant. The place was clean. Their service was fast. Their entree had a large size with a low price. I ordered create your own stir fry coming with chicken, fried rice and 6 veggies. The sauce was bland but veggies and fried rice improved the taste a lot. It is not an authentic Chinese restaurant but a good and cheap fast food place.

Vegetarian options: Tofu“

“Had to wait a little for a table (10 minutes ), but food was worth it. Got noodles, sesame chicken and a sushi platter to share. Edame for appetizer. Could not eat it all. We were traveling, chose something we could not get at home. Did not dissapoint.“

“This is the best hotpot place in Columbus. I love the Mala broth, the perfect combination of spicy and flavorful! Today I went and saw that they are actually planning to stop serving hotpot and become a dim sum place, but I hope the management will reconsider, as I come here regularly for the soup and tell all my friends to check it out as well“

“This is an authentic Chinese restaurant. Some dishes are impressive, while others are mediocre. They recently upgraded their menu with large iron hotpot entrees. It was required to make an appointment for those. Recommend their braised pork and chicken feet, dumplings, and lamb entrees. Sometimes they might put too much salt or overcook. Service is always good and WiFi is fast. Rice is unlimited.“

“We ordered lunch and picked it up. They forgot my sauce. They called and brought it to us! So impressed by the customer service. Not to mention the food was great! Thx so much.“

“Such a low key Chantonese restaurant!! I was dealing some person stuffs in the neighborhood and got attracted by their authentic Beijing food 8 years ago. They don’t make Beijing food anymore since the ownership changed. So I ordered Beef Chow Ho Fun and it was so authentic and so delicious. I talked to the owner and asked where he is from and it turns out he is from Guangdon and that’s why the Beef Chow Ho Fun is so delicious!! The fried chicken is also crispy and juicy! I am so satisfied and happy to find this little hidden authentic Chinese restaurant! Definitely recommend everybody to try!!“

“Do not come to this restaurant expecting a typical American Chinese restaurant experience and food. With a change in ownership a couple years ago, they now serve authentic Chinese food which is very different from American Chinese food. This place is 5 star if you’re looking for authentic northern Chinese food. They have a typical English menu if you want to order all the standard fare but ask for the Chinese menu for the good stuff.“

“Delicious! Recipes from Helena & Frank, son-in-law Tan does a fantastic Singapore Noodles! Don’t miss this little secret🥢🥡“

“Oh my god this place is amazing I spent just about 40 bucks and got Vegetable Spring Roll, Shrimp Mei Fun, Egg Drop Soup, Roast Pork Lo Mein, and General Tso's Chicken. Tasted not only fresh but all around perfect in every way possible.“

“Food is great for fast food Chinese.

I’ve been three times and every time they aren’t super busy but I’ve had to wait 10+ minutes each time.

Since I’m out of bogo coupons I guess I’ll be going back to ordering from converse restaurants since they have the same wait time. So much for quick drive thru“
