50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Whitehall

“Ginger is the best waitress ever!!“

“So anybody that knows me knows I love good customer service and hate bad customer service. With that being said I only waited about 5 Seconds from entering the door before the young lady at the drive thru let me know that someone would be with me in a moment. That moment was 30 seconds later when Miss Brianna approached me and started taking my order by asking me what she could get me. I got a bigger plate with orange chicken, teriyaki chicken and beef and broccoli. I made a joke that I was allergic to all the other stuff because it had onions in it and the other young lady Tanisha let me know that there was a possibility of there being green onions in the fried rice. Good catch!!! She asked the cook and it was then that we realized that there wasn't green onion in there and that I was able to order my food but I did thank her for her concern. Now I have been in Panda Express several times and I'm not going to say that the customer service was horrible but today's customer service was top tier. My cashier Ms Brianna let me know about the different flavors teas that they have and offered me samples. I considered it over and above yet, nice to experience. Glad I made the stop. Lunch was great... keep up the great work ladies“

“This restaurant has the freshest, flavorful and most authentic food I have had the pleasure to enjoy. Pork Shumai, Wonton in Chili Sauce, Chicken and peppers, boiled fish filets with pickled cabbage were all phenomenal. I never had fresh and hot from the fryer crab rangoon. 100 out of 10!! Everyone was kind, friendly and gracious. I recommend that you give this establishment a try.“

“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“

“Elysia was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire meal. The service was excellent, and she really made our experience even better. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. Definitely one of the best waiters I’ve had, and I would gladly come back again!“

“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 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“

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

“Yay!! A place with authentic Chinese offerings on this side of town too!! Check out this menu!! Today we had a few things including the corn and fish filets, which was suuuuper yum!! Light, crispy, flaky fish in a cream of corn sauce perfect atop rice 🍚 I'll be back for more and other dishes 🤤 sorry, forgot to take photos of the food, but I did get the menu...

Chinese American lunch specials also seemed decent.“

“Dear Mr. Wok,
Amazing food, generous portions, and service that’s faster than I can decide what to order. Every visit reminds me that “I’ll try somewhere else next time” is a lie I keep telling myself. Five stars aren’t enough—I’d give you an extra star just for making broccoli taste exciting. 🍜🥡🥠“

“I've only had delivery, so I've never seen the restaurant itself but the food is fantastic! We love the Udon with Pork, it is savory and addictive. And the Mapo Tofu tastes likehome.Their egg rolls are delicious and OMG, the marinated eggs are so surprising. I love getting the picked daikon and carrot. This is one of our favorite places!“

“I came in around 2:30. I've been looking for a new go to Chinese restaurant for 2 years. The employees were very nice and the restaurant looked very clean. The food was nothing special. There wasn't enough sauce on the cashew chicken and lomein. However the veg was very crisp. I am unsure of the freshness of the veg. I may try it again.“

“They generally do a nice job on hot fresh and faverful on everything. “My girlfriend orders”Probably the best wor su guy I’ve tasted. Drinks are properly poured. Good Job!
PS most of my reviews are 3 stars reviews. Most places are average or below.“

“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.“

“Food was absolutely delicious!! Tasted like it was prepared with every ounce of love they could manage. The prices are insanely cheap especially compared to other places in this economy. Would definitely recommend to bring yourself and your family here. Will be eating here again !!“

“Coming from New York I’ve been looking for a great Chinese food restaurant. The hospitality here is great. The food here is great. The shrimp fried rice reminded me of the shrimp fried rice from the Chinese restaurants in New York. It took me 2 1/2 years to find a Great (Chinese) restaurant. Ping is a great host. She was amazing. Thing brought us out free vegetable rolls and crab Rangoon’s.“

“This is absolutely THE BEST CHINESE CUISINE IN THE COLUMBUS AREA HANDS DOWN! GREAT PRICES, FABULOUS SERVICE, FANTASTIC THAI STYLE FOOD! You cannot get better Chinese food anywhere in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YELLOW CURRY CHICKEN THAI STYLE!“

“1st miss for this place in a long time. I ordered Gen Tso chicken. What I got was not good at all. There was virtually NO sauce - just a bunch of pre formed balls of some non descript protein. Rather underwhelming and not the first hint of spice.“

“The food is always done within 10-15 minutes of us ordering. They're good at taking orders over the phone, and polite when we go in to pick it up. The order is never incorrect, no matter what we end up getting. I absolutely love this place because the food is always consistently good and fresh. Some places aren't consistent or their rice is dry and we've literally never had a problem with this place. The best Chinese food around and highly recommend to everyone.“

“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“

“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.“

“Love the spicy wings?“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“They are open today, Christmas. Website says until 9. Which is incorrect. They stopped seating at 3:00. After hearing I drove 1.5 hours to get here, they seated me at the bar!! They truly cared. I already know the food here is amazing--that's why I made the drive. Thank you Chi Thai!!!“

“BEST CHINESE IN COLUMBUS!! Hands down!! The orange chicken, lo mein & moo goo gai pan are soo good & everything is always hot & fresh. They also have reasonable prices & fast delivery. I've never gotten anything from here that I didn't love!! Try it, you won't be disappointed!! They are a small takeout restaurant in Southeast Columbus that doesn't look like much, but the looks are deceiving. I won't get Chinese food from anywhere else in Columbus & that's a fact!“

“The best General Tsos chicken and and the best Singapore Noodles!“

“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 💯#🥇🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“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!!!“

“This restaurant is absolutely a step above typical Asian restaurants when it comes to flavor, ingredients and spice. My meals are always delicious. DEFINITELY better than Joy Food One. I appreciate how consistently good they are; I probably order from here twice a month, and I’ve never had a bad meal. The steamed pork dumplings and basil chicken are standouts for me, but it’s all great!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Atmosphere isn't the best, a little messy and run down but I don't care, this is one of the best take out Chinese restaurants in the area in my opinion. Some people think the guy who takes the order is rude. I don't think he's rude at all I think people are just misinterpreting the way he speaks and his personality, he's very energetic and loud. Have always had good service and great food here. Will continue to be a customer“

“Sooooo disappointed they over charge me! The food was horrible!! Chicken was not done I will never go back!“

“Best Chinese in North University District!!“

“The food was delicious, plentiful, and the staff was incredibly efficient. Bang for your buck it would be hard to beat this place. Pretty much the perfect Chinese buffet. The only real stipulation seemed to be that you not waste food. If I lived in the area I would frequent this place. They also had a carry out option that seem pretty inexpensive.“

“Excellent. Top notch.“

“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!“

“Delicious little place in the middle of Columbus. Don't let the exterior fool you when you get there, go inside and try it.
The food is very good with a wide menu, the price looks a little high but the portion size is worth it.
The associates inside are very kind and polite, making you feel right at home while you order your food and eat.“

“I normally have my food delivered one to two times a month. I must say, I have never had such great service taking my order accurately and getting my order so fast. I normally get one egg roll, peppered steak and crab rangoons. My food has always been excellent! I want to thank Golden China for doing such an great job and being so friendly.“

“Don’t let the location or looks fool you . The food is fire . vegan options .bean curd is like tofu and is good! They helped me both times order what I want, very kind people . Be patient if there’s any language barriers . Patience is key in life in general these days . try them out ! It’s cash only but they accept cash app or apple pay as well… (search by the phone number they show you to pay ethier way )“

“(Shaking my head with such delight and confusion) I've been alive for 50 years and have eaten a lot of Chinese food, this is one of THE BEST that I have EVER HAD! So delicious, chicken in my chicken fried rice was so juicy, the Chinese doughnuts...WOW!“

“This has been our go-to Chinese restaurant, especially for the lo mein;it’s consistently delicious and always hits the spot. The flavors are great, portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh every time we order.

We’re moving away soon, but this is one place we’ll genuinely miss. The food is so good that we’ll definitely be making special trips back just to enjoy it again. Highly recommend!“

“We just enjoyed such a lovely lunch at Lucky Dragon. It was our friend's birthday and she ahd a lovely time. I brought a birthday cake and the restaurant provided nice plates and forks for us to use. Our waitress was very kind and capable. Thr food was fresh and tasty!“

“Fast, affordable, and delicious! My new favorite Chinese take out spot. The food was done cooking right as I walked in!

I recommend ordering from the website rather than DoorDash or grub hub if you are picking up. We got the miso soup for free with our order which was not an option with a third party app.“

“It's the Bomb everytime“

“Anytime that my family is in the mood for Chinese food this is where we go. We have been for many years. Our favorites are Mala Chicken, Hot and Spicy Chicken, our daughter always gets the beef with broccoli. The Garlic Chicken and egg rolls are so good. Our son favors the Crab Rangoon.“

“Nice find, good was great and the prices were great. I ordered chicken and broccoli and an egg roll. A lot of these places are hitting this with eggrolls, but there’s were one of the better ones I’ve had. Atmosphere wise it was clean, but there were stacks of boxes in the dining area and some of the tables were weathered. Look like a steady flow of regular customers, which is always a good sign“
