5 Best Chinese Restaurants near Clarington

“The best Chinese takeout anywhere near Bowmanville, (and Bowmanville is a 15 minute drive away). We moved from a city that had a Mandarin, and Golden Pine is equally as good if not better. Be patient when calling, English is not their first language - but they are super nice and you won't be disappointed.“

“Moved from Toronto and we were looking for authentic Chinese food in Bowmanville and found it! Love it even more especially it’s a family business run over 15 years. We took the beef curry, beef with bean sprouts, shrimp & lobster and seafood chow mien! They all tasted amazing for what you would expect ?Recommended to our Bowmanville community.“

“First time ordering. Placed order in advance because it was a large order. Ready on time, friendly service and fantastic food. Fed 13 people with a dinner for 6 and a dinner for 4 and had a fair bit of leftovers. I highly recommend this Chinese food.PS - picked up and took it home to Bowmanville and it was piping hot“

“Very cozy little restaurant and very clean. The staff are attentive and polite. There was only one other table when I came in so I'm not sure how fast things come out when it's a bit busier, but the food came out at a good pace. Everything was a great temperature, it didn't feel like anything had been sitting. The ingredients taste nice and fresh, and everything that has been fried clearly has been fried in clean oil. Nothing fried tasted heavy, or of other flavours. The avocado in rolls was the perfect ripeness, and everything was presented very nicely. It's clear the chefs here take the time to make things properly rather than rushing or using subpar ingredients or methods.

The real star here is the rice. It's perfectly fluffy and has a polished texture that lends well to the subtle seasoning. Too many AYCE places don't pay attention to the rice and it shows, but reach piece of sushi, maki, and temaki I had was perfectly rolled and a wonderful texture. Would absolutely come back, and definitely recommend visiting here if you're in the area.

Edit: I totally forgot to mention the gyoza! The filling is very flavorful and the texture is perfect. It's not heavily stuffed with cabbage, and the pork hasn't been overworked or overcooked. Absolutely delicious!

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian rolls and other options

Parking: Location is in a mall and has both outside and mall access. It's easy to get from the parking lot to the restaurant without having to go through the mall“

“Stopped in for a take out dinner before heading to the arena. The food was amazing! Huge portions and so delicious! The gentleman that served me was very nice and the service was quick. Less than five minutes in and out. I would definitely recommend and will be back next time we are in the area.“
