25 Best Chinese Restaurants near Irmo

“This is the only great chinese food near me. I get the pork fried rice , add cabbage and egg. Sooo good and sometimes I get the mongollian beef with a little bit of onion and their wings are also delicious, my favorite is the braised. Not only is the food delicious but they are the friendliest people. They always give the best customer service. I only give 3 stars for atmosphere because though they do have a few tables and chairs. Most customers order to go. Give them a try.“

“We ordered take out tonight and let me just say it was delicious. The portions were large and cooked to perfection. The veggies were fresh and although some people do not like the veggies cut so large, I think they are perfect. Egg rolls were scrumptious and large . We had soup which was still piping hot when arriving home, house fried rice was perfection. Plenty of leftovers. Love, love, love .“

“Best spot in Irmo for Chinese not even close!!“

“We have been getting takeout from China 1 at least once a month since we moved to Irmo 15 years ago, and have been very impressed by the quality of the food lately. Everyone in my family has been happy with their meals. Keep up the great work!“

“Food is good, ladies not rude shes just intense. shes actually very nice if you get talking to her when shes not running around like a chicken with her head cut off trying to run a business, definitely a cultural thing, ya’ll are just soft and uncultured.“

“Great little spot. I usually get the general tso and egg rolls. My wife gets the sweet and sour with chicken fried rice. All of our food has been ready in 15 minutes and is very presentable. Also hot and delicious. We are glad to have this place so close to our house. And it's always open!“

“We just finished a delicious and fresh meal for dinner from this place. We ordered Orange and Kung Pao chicken. We are not locals here and were searching for a take out place to get a quick meal. I’m glad we decided to order from this place. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. There was plenty of vegetables in my Kung Pao chicken. The fried rice was nice and fresh. Our 6 year old loved the egg roll. My husband ordered Orange chicken. The chicken pieces were massive with a sweet savory sauce. Overall we are very satisfied with our meals. The portion sizes were huge. If we were not staying in a hotel we would have saved leftovers for a meal. Definitely going to order again from this place next time!“

“We are new to town and was skeptical about trying another Chinese joint. Oh my gosh.. so glad we did. From walking in the door to eating the delicious food, I'm amazed.

The woman calls herself Aimee and greeted us and told us about the area. The food came out in the..10 minute.. time.

This is now my go to! Told my family that this gives me a reason now to buy a house in this area. Wow!“

“I been coming here for years and when I tell you the food is amazing it is and I stay in Columbia SC from the egg rolls to the lo mein the wings I mean just everything and when I come to Lexington this is my first stop trust me you want be disappointed“

“This place has the best egg rolls in the Columbia area bar none! It is an icon. Their other food is really good as well, I especially like the shrimp fried rice with extra shrimp. Now the atmosphere is nothing to talk about, it's in an old Dairy Queen. One thing that you will need is Cash or a Check because they do not accept credit cards. The last time I visited was a few days ago and I found out that they only allow five people inside at a time. I found that quite humorous but it is what it is. They have consistently had good food. One thing that you should get if you like hot mustard is their homemade hot mustard. It is super hot but it's a horseradish type of heat that goes away quickly.“

“I had tried Ganbei for lunch, and it was so fresh, delicious and healthy I made dinner reservations for my husband's birthday. He loved it! Excellent wait staff and excellent food. Our server added a complimentary fried ice cream with a birthday candle. I highly recommend, and I am a KAREN when it comes to high recommendations.“

“6pc Lemon pep w/ sm Fries

Everything was great. The wings were juicy, packed with flavor and crisp. Just the way I like it. Same with the fries. They had just the right amount of crunch I needed. Plus even though I order a small fry. They give you more than a hand full. I will be returning.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting "Friends House" in Lexington, SC, and it was truly a delightful experience. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff instantly made me feel at home. The menu offered a diverse range of delicious options, catering to various tastes. I particularly enjoyed their signature dishes, which were prepared with utmost care and attention to detail. The restaurant's ambiance was perfect for a casual hangout with friends or a cozy date night. The service was prompt and attentive, adding to the overall positive dining experience. I highly recommend Friends House to anyone looking for a welcoming spot with fantastic food in Lexington.“

“This is the best Chinese I’ve had in the metro area of Columbia. Most Chinese restaurants have greasy entrées and fried rice and lo mein. Everything I’ve had here is good from the spring rolls to the crab Rangoon to the entrées and the gohan.“

“These guys were wonderful, they took us even though we came in just a bit before closed with a much larger order than anticipated. I believe we had 3 apps and 4 entree's and drinks but they refused our apologies and took our order enthusiastically. The food was great and the price was amazing. We expected to spend a $100-110 but walked out only having spent $76 with nothing to correct or complain about. Just... don't do to them what we did haha.“

“My wife and I have been going here since it opened. In fact when we walk in they holler our order out. We think they serve the best of the usual Chinese dishes. They have a really nice staff as well. I would recommend it or your Chinese takeout experience!“

“My first time was the lunch specials (recommended by a friend). Fantastic.

Tonight I got dinner takeout.
Egg rolls
Wanton Egg drop soup
Roast pork lo mein
Coconut shrimp

It was all fantastic. I will be eating their food again soon.

Tip: Call in your order. Doordash prices are about $2 more per item.“

“This is hands down the best Chinese restaurant in Lexington, every time I go in here you get treated with respect and the food is cooked perfectly! Today I got the beef with broccoli and the broccoli was cooked perfect! Not cooked so it's almost like rubber but the broccoli was a little bit crunchy the way you want it. Food and the sauce we're delicious just like everything else I've ordered from here. Please ignore any negative reviews, this place now is a great place to go if you want good take out Chinese food. If you've been here before and maybe you had a bad experience give it another try.“

“I’ve always been ordered my usual hibachi steak from this restaurant and i love it ever since i first tried it but i only posting not to leave no negative review because I never had an issue with this restaurant until yesterday last night I ordered DoorDash to eat the food like normal. Nothing tasted weird or anything but this morning I was getting nauseous to come to find out. I have food poisoning. This is the first for me with this restaurant. I hope the owner can look into meat and make sure it wasn’t contaminated“

“If I could give Robert and Olivia 10 stars I would!
Very professional and courteous. The Seafood Bag was banging along with the Tea, Large Order of Fried okra, Large Order of Fried Hush puppies and the Large Order of Shrimp Fried Rice. You will not find another restaurant like this in a 60 mile radius PERIOD! I now will come once a week which is something I have never done in 47 years! Thanks to both of you for the enjoyable Greeting, hard work and GREAT FOOD!“

“Atmosphere is peaceful, food is super fresh, and service is nice. I came in around 4:45 and opted to eat in. I ordered the wonton soup, teriyaki wings & white rice & I always ask for an extra cup of teriyaki sauce for my rice. Yummmy!“

“Called in a to-go order, and they said it would be 15 minutes . I got there in that time frame, and the food was ready. The fried rice was the best I've had in a while. I also got the fried calamari, which, in my opinion, was not so great. It was too greasy for me and did not like the texture of it. They do give you a lot, though. I would go back it's worth a try.“

“best Chinese food around. I know I lived here forever. bought it from everywhere. Best Thai food as well. Great soups. awesome people. usually you don't find all that at a Chinese place.“

“Always good Asian food!“

“delicious food and they give a gargantuan amount of sauce which in my opinion is pretty awesome. the only reason this establishment is not getting five stars from me is because they put my noodies in a strange to go box. the first time i opened it i was baffled to find a large knotted cube in a small styrofoam container. still very delicious but makes it super messy in my fridge and counter and stovetop. best place in the area i would have to say after getting extreme food poisoning from all the other local spots.“
