50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Upper Arlington

“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.“

“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“

“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! 😄“

“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.“

“I ordered late very close to close which is why I don’t believe the cooks noticed my modification to my order. I am very picky but knowing this I am also very thorough in ordering so the forgot to add the extra vegetable that I wanted but the quality and flavor of the food made up for it. I was still very happy and will go back. And who knows maybe modifications need to be improved on the order app. The cooks may have never even seen my request“

“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!“

“Excellent, delicious food! We spent time in India and had not enjoyed the food as well as today’s meal! The butter chicken (I had lamb) was so flavorful and the dal was delighted my palate on every spoonful. We will be back for more!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Never disappointed with their flavorful options.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Billy Lee’s has become our family’s Friday tradition! Every week we come together here for good food, laughs, and quality time. The drinks are always on point – especially the lemon drops and mango cocktails, they’re our favorites! The atmosphere is welcoming and makes it the perfect spot for a family get-together. Highly recommend!“

“The chef, I think he is the owner said that Chow Fun is his best. I also recommend that menu if you want to try some non-Americanized Chinese food. There's some extra chilly oil on the shelves, put them in your plate and you might feel different. The picture I attached is Malatang.“

“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“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Hands down the best Chinese food in the Columbus area. You can order anything from here and you won’t be disappointed. My personal favorite is the spicy wings with green onions. I give them 4/5 stars. I would give 5, but they are a little stingy with sauces and when you ask for more they just give you one more and you don’t want to keep asking for more, so you leave with less sauce than you want lol. But overall, highly recommended.“

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

“Great food, and excellent service, the family that runs this establishment adds a friendly touch to the neighborhood.
Always welcoming and their prices are super fair with generous portions.
You won’t be disappointed.
10/10“

“Best War Su Gai sauce and equally good chicken . Was a customer decades ago before change in ownership and still my favorite place ever. Egg rolls have nice spice to them and never had a greasy one!! Kudos to chef!!“

“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've been meaning to write a review for a long time. We ordered from this business after moving into our new home and I've been in love ever since. For the price you pay, you definitely get a decent amount of food, if not more! This is my go-to any time i crave Chinese food. I keep telling myself to try other meals, but their sweet and sour chicken always calls my name and their crab rangoons are to die for. The staff is lovely and always so polite!!“

“This time I tried the beef with mushroom and onion and fried rice. Hubby got the pepper steak, daughter got the sweet and sour chicken. We're all very happy with our choices. This place never disappoints. Super fast, friendly, yummy. What more could you ask for ❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“Asian Wok is our new little spot for Chinese carryout food. The food is always fresh, hot and tasty. The pad Thai, Szechuan and egg rolls are excellent. The staff is efficient and friendly. We order once a month and they know us by first name now! We’re grateful for this restaurant in our neighborhood! Excellent job Asian Wok“

“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 very picky when I decide to eat Chinese food. I haven't had a very good time here in Columbus. I have a couple of trusted places, but today I welcome you all to my list of favorites. Delicious... We ordered the house rice with lo mein with meat, egg rolls, and orange chicken, and everything came out delicious. It was enough for 4 people. I recommend it.“

“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 love this place. Possibly the best hot&sour soup in town. Great selection of dishes from a small staff, and personalized service that they remember you the next visit. Many great dishes from hot&spicy to subtle flavours. Try the Chow Chan Chain if you don't like spicy.. The pad ke mow makes me nostalgic, and I get it extra spicy,“

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

“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 absolutely love this hidden gem on the Westside! Their prices are great and the portions are enough for two meals. My go to is the Boneless Pork Rib dinner with the Shrimp Fried Rice. I love the convenience of being able to order and pay online and pickup on my way home. I work in Westerville and live down the road from Wok Wok, so it’s ready and piping hot when I get there. Have yet to have a bad meal or service, I come here 2-3 times a month. Definitely worth a visit!“

“If you are looking for exceptional fresh Chinese cuisine look no further. Some of the best I've ever had. Fast friendly professional service with a smile. everything is well appointed and quiet clean. We most certainly will be back!“

“The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love the spicy wings?“

“Always been good. Ever since I was a child. Steven is not only a dedicated business owner but he is also an all around good man. He treated me so well as a child that I'll never forget it. Go enjoy some Ding Ho today for some family owned super delicious Cantonese dishes. Nothing but great things to say about their entire family.“

“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.“

“Order Take out here quite often. Haven’t tried everything on the menu but the Honey Chicken is fantastic. My go too is the Honey Chicken, Chongqing Noodles, and Crab Rangoon. This could feed a family of four for $40. As far as Asian Cuisine in the area I haven’t found anything quite better. They are always friendly when I arrive and seem like a great team earning an honest living. Will definitely come back when I’m craving that Honey Chicken!“

“Have been coming here for years, surprised I have never reviewed before now but just want to say the food here is great, the quality of the food is way higher than anything else comparable in town. Also the staff is very courteous, the lady up front never leaves you just standing there she acknowledges you immediately and even remembers little things like if you enjoy soy sauce, they actually care that you enjoy your food. could not say enough positive things about this place. wonderful place.“

“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!!“

“** 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 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.
