Chinese Restaurants near Laurens

“Me and my family always go to this restaurant almost every month. My dad loves the fried shrimps and I love the mushrooms and sweet and sour chicken. They even know I always use chopsticks and ask if I want one?. They are very friendly and always asking if everything is good. Love eating here!“

“My husband ordered hibachi shrimp & scallops, my daughter ordered teriyaki chicken & broccoli with lo mein & I ordered Chinese chicken & broccoli with lo mein. I was a little surprised that it was $3 to substitute rice for lo mein. However, the lo mein was very good. My husband loved his sushi appetizer plus complemented the rice they used. It was mashed or something? He did not like his entrée or their version of white sauce. My daughter said she enjoyed the steamed dumplings, but the sauce was a bit odd, and her entrée was good.I didn't try the sushi, but I did eat a dumpling. It was ok, but I would probably try the fried dumplings in the future. The chicken in my entrée was a bit dry but had a good flavor with broccoli cooked just right. I will give them another try with different choices. The menu has multiple options to explore.“

“They may not speak good English, but they understand enough to communicate. She is direct, but I like that. I can see how that could come across a little rude, but she’s always been nice to us. They make really good food. We will always dine here.“

“We got the combo plates. They come with fried rice and egg roll. I got sesame chicken & my son got general tso chicken. He also got an order of pepper steak to go for later. We ate in. The portions were seriously huge & piping hot. The food was so flavorful - really delicious!! Sometimes when I order sesame chicken the chicken tastes like it was fried in old oil - but not here! The breading was perfect & light. The egg rolls were also light, crispy, and delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh. We will definitely go back!! Very close to campus & convenient!!“

“My husband and I are regulars at Japan Diner, dining here almost weekly, and it never disappoints. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, and we’ve discovered several favorites. My husband adores the Extra Spicy Szechuan Beef, Shacha Beef, and Orange Peel Chicken—all with bold flavors. I gravitate toward the combination plates with white rice and cheese wontons, always ordering extra wontons. The spring rolls and steamed dumplings are also exceptional, but the cheese wontons stand out with their perfectly crisp texture and generous, creamy filling.

For soup lovers, this spot is a dream. The Tom Yum Soup is a personal favorite, packed with shrimp, mushrooms, lemongrass, basil, and onion in a creamy, flavorful broth. It’s my ultimate comfort food, especially when I’m feeling under the weather. The Egg Drop Soup is equally delicious and never fails to hit the spot. Whether we’re dining in or taking our meals to go, the quality and care in preparation shine through every time.

Service at Japan Diner is stellar. Pickup orders are handled quickly through the drive-through window, and dining in is just as efficient and welcoming. With its fantastic food, friendly staff, and convenient location near Presbyterian College, Japan Diner has truly become a beloved staple for us. Highly recommended!“
