50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Southampton

“First time here. Food was fresh and hot. I got the general tso with pork fried rice, hence why I gave 4 stars because there is little to no pork in the rice - the chicken was crispy and flavorful. Prices are reasonable, I paid $7.50 for lunch special with decent size portion. Will definitely be going back!“

“We order from this restaurant very often, and always enjoy their food. The owners are very nice and personable. Prices are reasonable and portions are what you'd expect. The quality is consistent and the taste is always on point. Overall a wonderful Chinese restaurant.“

“Chinese food was great both times we got takeout. Still need to try the sushi and Japanese dishes.“

“Bridgette was amazing, she was the friendliest server we ever had here. Service was impeccable and the food was delicious. Bridgette should be the role model of all wait staff everywhere. We felt welcomed and always asked if we needed anything else.“

“I love the lemon grass soup w/the scallops & shrimp & rice noodles. It’s actually the only thing I have been getting there for the past 2 years. Yesterday the scallops were HUGE & whole...they’re usually broken, small ones!“

“The Mongolian Beef was absolutely fantastic! Tender slices of beef cooked perfectly with just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely coming back for more!“

“Excellent food, especially if you go early for dim sum, and the staff is polite and efficient. I usually get an order of string beans or whatever green veg I see first, then we pick from the rotating carts. I'ma say yes to everything that has shrimp. Lol. You can request custom orders during sim sum hours, too, FYI.

I've been there at night for traditional ordering, and that was really good, as well, but I like a little bit of everything, so I love dim sum.

Impressive space, too -- The chandeliers always catch my eye. I've seen several large events there, and there's a private dining room as well.“

“use to be a cash only but as of 8/23/24 they asked if i wanted to pay by card!! which is major because as said before it’s been a cash only place for YEARS. foods always good never had any issues.. Kim is a sweetheart. great ppl, great food just a great place all around. 10/10“

“Best Chinese dinner I've had in a long time! We will definitely be back!“

“China Wok is a take out style business. It is not a restaurant with sit-down dining. We've been using this business for many years. The food is excellent and the service is very good. Prices are very good. The family members who work here are very friendly. They are very punctual with their service. It usually takes 15 minutes to complete your order. Enjoy your dinne, everyone.“

“The best Chinese food I have eaten. Their fried rice was sooo Good. Every Chinese restaurant i ate at I always find the fried rice to lack flavor or the rice was just either hard or mushy but this place imo was just right. The lo mein was excellent as well. Wish this place was in North Carolina where I live. Ate here 3 times in the week I stayed out here in Philly.“

“This is my absolute favorite place to eat chinese food when I come home. Its just a tiny unassuming place in a shopping mall. Their Chinese Pizza (scallion pancakes) and Eggplant with Garlic Sauce is incredible! Their vegetables are so fresh. The delivery is always fast. The portions and prices are great. And they are lovely people. My parents have ordered from here for decades.“

“I have never left a review so quickly!! First timer and did pickup. O m g. This is the best, freshest Chinese food I’ve ever had. Any other place you cut open the chicken and it GRAY. This was white meat chicken. My husband got sushi and said it was phenomenal. The restaurant itself is spotless and the woman behind the counter was so friendly. Absolutely will be back.“

“This is my favorite Chinese food restaurant around. They have the best flavor to their food that I can't describe, it's just better. Their General Tso's and Schezuan Chicken and Shrimp have a nice simple heat. The teriyaki chicken is the most amazing thing I think I've ever eaten. They have great combo meals and individual pint and quart options so it's easy to a combination of your favorite items. Prices have consistently stayed lower than competitors. This is also owned by the nicest family in town!“

“Today May 31st is our first time ordering and I must say food is amazing and staff is very friendly. We will definitely order again 😊“

“great prices, quality food, great service“

“Got a general tso combo platter. Super fast, the staff is very friendly, and the portion size is easily double anywhere else in east mount airy for a dollar or two less. Downside is the chicken was not crispy, and it was barely in the box for 5 minutes so i know it didnt get soggy that way. Also the fried rice and egg roll were only so so. Because of the huge portion im having some of the chicken for lunch the next day, 100 percent better cold so it isn't soggy.“

“The service was very good at Wing Lee. The food was ok. All food items came out very hot. They do not have egg rolls. The spring rolls were ok, not what I usually prefer. Portion sizes for the entrees was medium compared to other restaurants and rice was small, im sure they'd bring more rice if needed. In the photos is sesame chicken, the coconut shrimp special, and boneless spare ribs, all tasted good. The place is worth a try, you might like it“

“We were recommended to try this restaurant through a Facebook group, and we’re so glad we listened! From the very first bite, we were blown away. The food is incredibly authentic—absolutely scrumptious and full of flavor without being overwhelming. Every dish felt hearty, satisfying, and clearly made with care. We’re so happy to have discovered this gem. Can’t wait to try more!“

“Food is hot and portions are good.“

“SIMPLY THE BEST CHINESSE RESTAURANT IN THE AREA. We go all the way from Hatboro to this place because is good. They put lots of different vegetables. It is the best in this area. It is not gourmet but the average Chinese restaurant is the best. The people is super nice. The guy cooking is real Chinese and you can tell that he cares. You go to other places, and they just put a bunch of broccoli with a little bit of sauce and they call it Vegie Mix, here, you get a variety of vegetables. The food WAS NOT salty at all, natural.“

“Today was my first time ordering from this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. It was so fresh. I had sweet and sour pork and the hot and sour soup. It was the best soup ever! It's the only Chinese restaurant I will order from in the future. Also, the person who took my order was so friendly as was the delivery person. And the food was nice and hot when it was delivered! Thank you!“

“Just had the best food delivered fresh and hot!! Delivery said 45-60 minutes but was here extremely quickly in less than half hour! Will definitely recommend and will order from here again! Thanks Place One for a job well done!! *****“

“Amazing! We loved all of the food but the service was fantastic! All of the staff was friendly and helpful. Our family will definitely be back. It was a great experience.“

“You can order online from a website that kindly reminds you what it was like on the internet in the 00's, before every millimeter of your screen was optimized and monetized. Things are misspelled (Chicken w/ borcolli; Singapore Rice Noodel) in a way that doesn't interfere with intelligibility, and provides yet another reminder of charm from a past you might not have experienced but can still, if only faintly, remember. Similarly, the interior harkens to a China that likely doesn't exist and never existed, but is convenient for the American perception. A large palm stands tall yet sheds two or three yellow leaves, suggesting that most attention is paid by staff behind the counter, not in front of it. A calendar shows an impossibly skinny Chinese woman looking at you genially. The wallpaper combines shades of jade and a muted yellow which, alongside the mahogany-colored chairs and tables, creates an inviting environment to wait for your food, seemingly on accident (though one can never be too sure).
It's a casual experience from start to finish. It weighs only very lightly on you, and the action causing the most resistance is when you try make a final decision on what you'll be ordering. The prices are cheap--one order of food, for just one person, could feed you for three whole meals. Therefore, this decision has a three day consequence--and don't be fooled by the casual nature of everything, there are definitely wrong choices. Any non-breaded chicken you order will be soggy and formless, and most beef will be similar. However, the spare rib and the breaded chicken (specifically General Tso's) are full of flavor and savory texture, as is the pork-fried rice, as are the eggrolls. The canned sodas from the fridge even taste better than store bought.
The family who owns the place are incredibly kind, even in the face of hardship. I ordered on Christmas Eve when they were absolutely swamped, since no other restaurants in the area were open. In total I waited 2 hours for my food, as did other patrons whom I waited with. We were all given an entire bag of Chinese tea candies as a token of the staff's appreciation, as were handed the bag with a disproportionate amount of glee and genuine cheer. I also live near some of the people who own/work the place, and they are some of the only people in the neighborhood willing to be vulnerable enough to smile and wave as neighbors cross their path. They are caring and patient towards their young children as well, and they work their tails off.
American-Chinese takeout, like most things for sale in today's markets, is both great and terrible for you. The levels of sodium, if consumed everyday, would cause severe inflammation in your body. However, your pockets will be happy that you chose to settle down with a 9 dollar 3000 calorie deal instead of doordashing Popeyes and paying $30 for it. And, most importantly, something in your soul will feel called to, catered to, held, and loved. Food is love, and that is one of the few human universals. New China JAMISON is a method for tapping into this love on an as-needed basis, and offers even more in terms of nostalgia and warmth for those with the minds open to perceive it. I give them 4/5 stars.“

“Wings are fried to perfection in a clean workspace (atleast it's cleaner than most establishment) Been watching imperial turn to Kensington and Allegheny. Haven't had a bad experience yet at the kitchen. Just my humble opinion which isn't worth much. Do your homework “

“Been craving Chinese for over a week now. So good totally hit spot. Chicken broccoli house fried rice was perfect. Crab ragoon was good. The only complaint I had was that the general tsos chicken was too hard I couldn't really chew it. I was upset cuz it did taste good and I couldn't eat it. Would definitely order from here again tho“

“Food is always hot and fresh.“

“It's small, pretty crowded on the weekend. You have to find parking on the street if there are any. But their food, it full of flavor, fresh at times. I highly recommend their lobster and ginger, or their lobster with xo sauce. Either or is fine.“

“Amazing, tasty food on big portions. We have been here several times. We loved the stuffed tofu with lobster sauce and the salt & pepper seafood mix. The sisters who owned this place also did the cooking and serving. They were super friendly. The place was not fancy but fine for enjoying food and your company. We will be going back to try different dishes from the menu.“

“I’ve been coming to this place for years, my last recent visit motivated me to make a review. This place is quick with orders, and the person who takes the orders, is always friendly. This is a go to spot in the neighborhood, especially for very good Chinese !“

“Exquisite Food! Welcoming Staff! Outstanding Service!!“

“We almost skipped this place because of a 1-star review that freaked us out, but we decided to give it a try because of all the other amazing reviews—and we’re so glad we did! The food was fantastic, the staff was super friendly, and they have Thai tea! I love a good Thai tea, and theirs did not disappoint. Definitely worth checking out!“

“great food clean friendly service“

“I've been ordering here since 2007, when I used to live in Silly Philly years ago. This was and still is the best spot to grub. When I am in town I don't hesitate to get my sesame and general tso on, taking some back home as well. Where I live now my spot is called" Asian Yummy ", the only equivalent to " Hot Wok ", but Hot wok will always be first. They need to expand!! I would invest into a chain of Hot woks!!!!“

“Ordered takeout for dinner. The General Tso’s tofu was amazing, the crab rangoon were generously stuffed and they, along with the egg rolls, were fried perfectly. No greasy mess. The only disappointing part is that we didn’t get fortune cookies! Almost deducted a star for that one, but everything is very reasonably priced so I let it slide ;)

Vegetarian options: General Tso tofu is fantastic.“

“Best food in Philly (especially their chicken wings) You have to try this place out at least once. Workers are so kind and efficient in working. It was very quick, easy and simple. I got all my foods packed within 20 minutes after I called in for pick up. :)“

“great customer service, food is always hot and made well never had a problem been going there for many many years :)“

“Tucked away in a small shopping center, very easy to overlook, sits a gem of a restaurant. They have multiple cuisines to choose from, Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. The footprint of the restaurant is small, but it is so thoughtfully arranged and decorated. I wish I had found this place sooner and will definitely continue to visit.“

“Just had such a wonderful dinner at this cozy Sichuan restaurant! We ordered the Wanzhou Grilled Fish and Pork Belly with Garlic Sauce — both were absolutely delicious and really hit the spot. The fish was super fresh, and the side ingredients were so flavorful. I especially loved the potato strips and black fungus — they soaked up all that rich, savory broth and were just amazing.

The pork belly was also fantastic — tender, flavorful, and packed with that bold, garlicky taste I love. You can really tell they use quality ingredients.

What really made the experience special was the lady boss. She was so warm and thoughtful. At first, we wanted the garlic-flavored grilled fish, but sadly it was sold out. She noticed we probably can’t handle too much spice and kindly suggested the savory sauce version instead — and honestly, it was the perfect match for our taste. Felt like she really cared.

Even though the place was quite busy with lots of regulars coming in for dinner, she still managed to take great care of every table. That kind of attentive service is rare and really appreciated.

This place has such a welcoming vibe — great food, lovely people, and an overall heartwarming experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to all my friends. Can’t wait for the next visit!“

“Glad to have you up here! Fresh Hot Crispy Spicy, all those things!“

“I Love this place been going here for over 30years. A hood staple. If ya want some great food especially the Chicken broccoli or Shrimp and broccoli it is the truth. The other dishes on the menu are good as well. Open late for the club crowd which is always good for the weekends“

“I got the barbecue ribs and the flavor is great, I'm not a big fan of peas in my fried rice but their fried rice is okay. The soup looks really good, and they gave me the crispy wonton noodles. They also let me swap my egg roll for a spring roll which I prefer so that was really nice. The people that work in that shop are super nice and very helpful. I found out that they do actually deliver within a 5 mi radius. I think it'll be easier for me to order delivery next time parking was a bit of a pain.“

“Yummi Yummi is our go-to place for take out Chinese food. Being vegetarian, I can always find something I hadn't had in awhile, or go with an old stand-by like General Tso's Tofu. Prices are great and the service is very quick...can't ask for much more than that from a take-out spot.“

“best Chinese restaurant [Original] best Chinese restaurant“

“Oh my god the food was delicious and Qian is such an excellent server with great customer service skills and attitude. She truly exemplifies how customer service should always be especially in the food and beverage industry. Congratulations on having her as part of your team.“

“I've been eating here since I was a kid and it's definitely just the best Chinese takeout I've had in the city. The general tsos are super good and have a nice flavor and consistency and the wings are also great. I prefer their fried rice as a side to their lo mein but can't go wrong with either. While there's other dishes I love these are the must haves, I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and hungry for some Chinese takeout. Remember though, it's cash only.“

“My family and I order from here periodically. The people there are always friendly and courteous. The food is always ready on time and is tasty each time. If I had to conjure a complaint, it would be that I have a hard time getting my food as spicy as I like it to be. But to be fair, I have the same problem wherever I order chinese food.“
