10 Best Chinese Restaurants in Warwick

“Food is delicious. Fresh and flavorful. I haven’t had Chinese this good in years. Highly recommend the crab rangoon, sweet and sour chicken and generals chicken.“

“Since 1989, Keith and his crew at Han Palace have been serving high quality Cantonese, Szechuan and Hunan cuisine on West Shore Road in Warwick. Han Palace is one of those places that you bring the family to every week, and they too have a die hard following in the community.

And for good reason! You can find Keith there every day, always on the move. When I went, he was the one who took us to our table. I couldn't help by admire the art etched into the glass dividers in the restaurant, and the high backs to the booths allow you an intimate experience with your dining companion/s. While he was camera shy and didn't want to be in a photo (which I can respect) he was more than eager to share his thoughts on his crab rangoon!

I mentioned he has quite the fan base for the appetizer and he shared with me that he workshopped his recipe for a bit before settling on what he serves today. For him, he doesn't like a strong fishy taste. Keith also freely shared his secret touches, white pepper and scallions. A note I will remember next time I make my own.

When asked for a staff recommendation for what to have with our rangoon, the server suggested the General Tso's Chicken, one of their most popular dishes.

Before long the food arrived and I was excited to see what the hype was all about. On first bite, what you immediately notice is these are GENEROUS on the filling. If you like a fat rangoon, this is going to be right up your alley. The taste is cream cheese forward, with the kani and scallions supporting characters to bring it all together. A small warning, be careful how you bite into these, the filling can squirt out!!

Normally, I am the type to roll my eyes at ordering General Tso at a Chinese restaurant. It's like the Chicken Tikka Masala of Chinese food. However! I see why this is popular. The chicken was fresh, the slightly crispy texture holding up in the sauce. The sauce was tangy, just the right amount to evenly coat the chicken with some extra for the rice and a level of heat between mild and medium. The rice was a savory hearty base for the chicken.

I wasn’t overly pleased with the food from the previous owner but new owners are exceptionally inviting and provided the Best local Chinese food I have had in a long time. I walked in and was immediately greeted By the owner and his wife. They genuinely wanted to be sure that my order was 100% to my liking and if I had any concerns to please contact him right away. I did not have to because it was amazing. Again, previous owners and their food? Not the best. The new coupler on it? Exceptional food and service. I highly recommend.“

“I was here as part of a challenge to fine the best crab rangoon in Rhode Island. The Islander and Han Palace were the two that people were most passionate about. My first trip was to Islander

The inside of the Islander is gorgeous, ornate decorations tastefully spaced to create texture and visual appeal. The mother and daughter duo who served us were long time employees of the business. I was told that they had three generations of their family work as front of house staff there. Most of the employees were there for the long haul, a sign if thoughtful and caring ownership. A foreshadowing to when I met the owner later.

We ordered the crab rangoon and our server mentioned she would send out a scallion pancake and some salt and pepper spicy wings for us to try. We didn't have to wait too long for the food to arrive. The appetizers all looked beautiful and we couldn't wait to try them.

The rangoon were delicious. Creamy, a nice proportion of kani with a hint of onion in the background. What I really liked about them was the purse shape. The fried edges had the kind of crispiness that shattered when you bit into it.

The scallion pancakes were flaky and tasty. The wings were a good kind of heat, some spice but it never overwhelmed. The banana peppers added a little acidity that took it over the top.

And when we thought that was all, two more dishes came out! The Islander fried rice and the Peking Beef. Both were great but my favorite of the two was the beef. The beef was so tender, the sauce was savory, meaty and loaded with veggies like baby bok choy, snow peas and baby corn.

At this point, Simon the owner came by and spoke to our table. I had so many questions for him and he was kind enough to answer all of them. I couldn't thank him enough for his kindness and generosity. He was genuinely so sweet. He even sent us home with another order of rangoon and the house wings.

I hadn't been to many restaurants in this part of Warwick but I highly recommend you make the trip to come and dine here. Great food, incredible people, fantastic atmosphere. 10/10“
