50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Upper Arlington

“My daughter asked me to pick her something up late at night when I got off work looking for something that was open late I was surprised to find this restaurant I was so happy I did very nice people working there there were things on the menu I've never heard of when the preachers were not bad this is my new spot 😃so then we tried the food exceptional the way it should be what a great experience.“

“This restaurant serves, by far, the best and most authentic Chinese food I have ever experienced. I have travelled extensively across China, and I can confidently state that the food here is comparable to the very finest establishments in China, at a fraction of the cost. My wife and I frequently travel from Indiana for the express purpose of dining here. Please don’t be shy, dare to eat the most authentic dishes you can experience this side of the Pacific!“

“Sooooo yummy.

We got the Stirred Fried Water Spinach, spicy beef dry pot, scallion pancakes, beef tripe with chili sauce. Lots of parking outside. Came during lunch on a rainy day so we were seated immediately. Ordered for two people and there was enough to take home for dinner.“

“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.“

“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“

“Never disappointed with their flavorful options.“

“I have been looking for a place like this for years. When I lived in Southern California I had a place very similar. Other Columbus Asia restaurants are more Chinese focused it seems. Ordered for the first time tonight and I’m sold. Many future orders to follow“

“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!“

“Great authentic Chinese cuisine. 👌 a wide variety of offerings, the beef rib skewers were delicious, as were the pan seared pot stickers.

Brought my wife here for a meal to make her feel better, as she was feeling a little under the weather, and I think it really did the trick. She was very happy and pleased with the meal. She had the braised beef noodle soup.

I had the Dan Dan hand stretched noodles, they were quite delicious and satisfying for a spice craving.

The service was great, and they had Boba tea available from the next-door Boba shop.

We'll definitely be back.“

“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“

“Wow! This place is incredible. I ordered takeout and every dish we ordered was perfect. I would be surprised to find a better Chinese restaurant in Columbus. While everything we ordered was delicious, the Fish Filet w Pickled Soup was the best! I highly recommend this place for incredibly delicious Chinese food.“

“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.“

“Delicious food and generous portions! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and packaged well for takeout. The service was good overall, though there was a slight wait. I’d definitely order from here again and recommend it if you’re looking for great Chinese food.“

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

“I went to China city in New York. Some of the best fast food Chinese restaurants in the whole state of Ohio thankfully, if you’re reading this From Columbus, the food here is great to excellent and the owners are so nice. Willing to do whatever you want. I don’t say this out of comparison to New York City to Columbus Ohio, but this is some of the best fast food Chinese you could ever have always consistent I’ve been ordering this restaurant for many many years.“

“WHO IS THE NEW CHEF?? Seriously though big difference in the quality and taste of the food.
We order from here a few times a month. Got food Friday, sooo good! Got it again tonight, even better!! You can tell it’s a new chef. It’s like Chinese soul. Definitely hits right now. Now work on the egg rolls and that would make it a perfect experience
Hunan chicken and beef, side of hot oil and white rice 😋😋“

“This is my favorite local Chinese food. I'm new to cbus and I have tried a bunch of Chinese food places since arriving. This is the best one by far. Their food really is so fresh, the sauce they use is the BEST tasting sauce. They are fast, friendly and my order is always correct, with free extras. Last week I got a free soup. LOVE this place.“

“Crab Rangoon - 10/10. Best I have found in the Columbus. Traditional shape, six in a order, filling is a wonderful blend ( but not blended/pureed), seasoned, overall filling size was prefect. The wonton was fried evenly, tasted fresh and did not taste as if it was fired with other menu items. This was a to go order and they did travel, about 10 mins, and held up well.

Will be back for main menu items and will update my review as I try everything. 😋“

“Came in for dinner the other day. Had the Mongolian trio. Was amazing. Manager nate was super nice and the bartenders Desiree and Riley were fantastic. Joined th rewards program and cant wait to come back for the free edamane. 5 out 5 stars for sure!“

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

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

“Quiet but busy.

We usually sit near the fish tank as the kiddo loves watching them.

Service is always friendly and fast.

We are working our way through the menu, but the lomein is my favorite so far (along with those chicken skewers!)

Good portions for the price, and always clean inside.“

“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!!“

“Love the spicy wings?“

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

“the trio is legitimately like 5lbs of food... maybe more lol. It really is the best, most flavorful hibachi all around Columbus.“

“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.“

“My husband and friends have been going there for over 40 years for lunch. Some of the guys almost every day. Owners are like friends and come to cook outs with the group on holidays. Food is ready great. They will tailor dishes to your preference. Great place.“

“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’s always the “hole-in-the-wall” places that are the best and that’s the case with Eastern Wok. They make their dumplings in house and they are SPECTACULAR!!! I haven’t tried anything here that I didn’t like. Everything is stellar and the staff is top notch! They always make sure my kids are enjoying the food (they should know based on how often we come in that they do). Highly recommended and will continue to come back until I move or they close. Which I hope neither happens.“

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

“Best chinese/sischuan food in town. Ive tried over 1/2 the menu over time and would recommend almost all of it. Some items are very traditional and will have bone in chicken, if you have any questions they can answer them immeadiatly. MUST TRY!!!“

“Quick, easy & good during pandemic!“

“Ye’s Asian Kitchen is my kind of spot — authentic Chinese food done right and a carry out experience that couldn’t have been smoother.

I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and it hit every note. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the sauce had that classic balance of sweet and tangy that you want from a great sweet and sour, and the portions were generous. Exactly what you’re looking for when you want a satisfying carry out meal without any compromises on quality.

The lady at the front was incredibly nice — warm, welcoming, and made the whole pickup experience pleasant from the moment I walked in. That kind of genuine hospitality on top of great food is what turns a one time visit into a regular spot.

Quick pickup, delicious food, great service — Ye’s Asian Kitchen checks every box. If you’re in Columbus and craving authentic Chinese food this is the place to go. The sweet and sour chicken alone is worth the trip.

Hidden gem in Columbus. Don’t sleep on this one.“

“Not the most appealing appearance on the outside and not the best location but.....HANDS DOWN THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHINESE FOOD IN COLUMBUS. I have eaten here since I was 9 years old. I have TASTED every Chinese restaurant in Columbus and this is the BEST,in my opinion! My family and friends also agree. Literally the entire family, from grandma, mom and dad, siblings, and all of our kids , it's the Best.

UPDATE AS OF MAY 1, 2026:

My absolute favorite place in Columbus been going there since I was about 11 years old and I’m 39 now Family goes there. My children have grown up loving it don’t get it wrong. We go all over and try every Pl., Reynoldsburg Pickerington, Westerville, Arlington, Dublin, West Side, Columbus Hilliard, any place we can find Chinese food we have tried throughout the years and still believe Golden House is 💯#🥇🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Amazing group deals, large portions, low prices, friendly staff, and the cashier Gina was very kind. I initially came here just to check the menu and options, but Gina (cashier) made my experience so welcoming that I couldn't leave without having dinner here. I will be returning, and I suggest everyone check them out.“

“This was seriously the best place I have been to since moving to columbus. The restaurant serious felt like home. They provide free water and dishes to eat with your friends and the music is beautiful.
The food itself was incredible, the Mapo Tofu's temperature was perfect, I felt healed as I ate it.
The owner himself is an incredible guy and really made an effort to make the place feel safe and welcoming. He protects his customers, as we are healing from the beautiful food.
Favorite Dishes: Mapo tofu“

“Just recently started ordering from here, but the food has been fresh and really flavorful. I usually get the chicken and broccoli and it’s consistently my favorite because it always tastes great and comes out hot. The service is fast, and everyone has been friendly each time I’ve gone. Wongs will never disappoint“

“First time dining. Crab Rangoon was incredible. Mongolian Beef Delish and Seaweed Cucumber Salad was fantastic. Generous portions“

“Fiery Sky Asian Kitchen proved to be an amazing surprise! Excellent service, nice looking decor, spacious tables and booths, and most importantly, really good food! Well-flavored, spicy dishes aren’t overwhelming, good-sized portions but not ridiculously oversized. Had no expectations walking in, but definitely recommend now.“

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

“Joy Lucky has excellent food. There are many items on the menu to choose from. I always get chicken cashew and my husband gets general tso. Each of the dinner entrees are big enough for two to share. The thing they need to improve is the interior of the store. The order board is half lit and no prices are listed on there. They have handwritten specials written on colored pieces of paper taped on the wall (rather tacky). It doesn’t look appealing to walk into the restaurant because you see tables with torn chairs and the owners and their family sitting at a table eating their dinner together. You feel like you’re interrupting them. Then they get up from eating to take your order, then make your food! Feels kinda unsanitary to me.“

“This is probably one of the best places on high street. Dumplings are where it is at. The staff is friendly and the food is always good. I go there about every Friday. Prices for portion are great, especially when compared to the rest of high street.“

“The Mongolian beef was amazing. The beef was cooked perfectly and went so well with the onions and green onions. The rich flavor of the sauce blended so well and really brought everything together, and it was pretty filling. We enjoyed our dinner and would definitely return!“

“We found Peking Dynasty on Livingston when the old Chinese restaurant we went to closed - super sad. BUT, we decided to try this place after several other places we tried were terrible - BUT - Peking Dynasty is SO good!!! It's the only chinese place we will order from. The spicy tofu and green beans are amazing - never disappointed. The Hot & Sour Soup and Wonton soup is AMAZING!!!“

“I checked out Hunan Bistro at the old K House location and had a great experience. The restaurant will be getting renovations and remodeling soon, but the food already impressed me.

We ordered the Egg Drop Soup, Hot & Sour Soup, Cucumber Salad, Salt & Pepper Crispy Fish, Mongolian Beef, General Tso’s Chicken, Stir-fried Pork with Chili Peppers, Stir-fried Beef, and Kung Pao Chicken.

My favorites were definitely the Cucumber Salad, Salt & Pepper Crispy Fish, and the Kung Pao Chicken all were packed with flavor and cooked really well. The menu has a lot of great options if you enjoy authentic style Chinese dishes with some spice and variety.

I also had the chance to meet the owner, Cai, and she was super cool and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

Be sure to check them out if you’re in the area!“

“It's a perfect place for a family dinner or a date or work meeting. Everyone here is so kind and accommodating and the food is delicious and the portions are great as well as the prices.

I brought my family here for our dinner night and they loved my kids and was so patient and caring for with them and the service was the best.“

“Consistently good food! Authentic Chinese food. I live half an hour away but I crave their food at least a couple times a month. It’s hard to find good food at a reasonable price. They have some dishes that you can’t find at other restaurants in Columbus.“

“First time trying this. I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and got a new dish, I tried the black pepper beef and it was absolutely fantastic. I ordered for pickup and it was ready within minutes. The owners are so very sweet and the price for a lunch portion was extremely reasonable. I will definitely be coming back soon“

“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“
