47 Best Chinese Restaurants near Brentwood

“Been going for all my life my favorite is the sesame chicken“

“This place always hits and honestly might be the best and only actual Chinese food in the Nashville area. They do offer the classic Chinese American fare but for the adventurous eater they have excellent Szechuan items like Cumin Beef, Mapo Tofu, snow pea tips and much more.

Just go and try it and don’t worry about a 20-30 minute drive. It’s worth it.“

“Great experience“

“The staff is very attentive, the food is delicious. Great place!“

“I haven’t been here in years. My wife is a chef but she’s feeling sick so she wanted somebody else to cook and she said that Chinese would hit the spot. Ordering at the counter was quick and easy and only about a six minute wait for the food. I ordered two different lunch specials, so the price was right, under $10 per person, and I got it home and it was still wonderfully hot and delicious.“

“Great lunch with the family. Ended up celebrating Mom's birthday! CAMERON (Cam) my man.... stellar service. will ask for you. Made our lunch an exceptional experience. As always.. the food was FAB!!“

“My family is from Chongqing so we always look for authentic Sichuan and hotpot restaurants when we travel. The owner was super nice and helpful and answered all of our questions. The food was authentic and delicious. Just like in Chongqing. The atmosphere is really nice and attractive. We wanted to come back for hotpot the next day but Popo's leg hurt and she couldn't walk so we had to cancel. I highly recommend any one who wants authentic Chinese food, typical fast food, to give this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed!“

“This was my wife's idea. I know, shocking that a wife can decide where to eat. LOL It was an excellent choice. We ate way more that we needed, but wanted to try multiple things on the menu. This ain't exactly what we usually eat, and wanted to hone in on what we order for future visits. I'll just get the beef soup next time, but with extra beef. It was delicious. My wife will get a steamed bun and we'll share seared pork and cabbage dumplings.“

“Absolutely loved this place. My wife is Asian and I have learned the difference between real authentic Chinese and American Chinese. This is 💯 % authentic delicious Chinese af #DaRoofMan will definitely be coming back here for great food . Also understand that authentic Chinese food will take 15 to 20 minutes to prepare at times . So I recommend coming in with a bit of patience and you will definitely leave more than satisfied.“

“I really like the atmosphere and the hot pot at this restaurant.“

“Love Ms. Cheap’s articles on smart shopping! We love seeing her at Ladies of Charity during our Clothing Consignment Sales in Spring and Fall…and our indoor estate sale mid summer called Stuff Galore. 2216 State Street across from Jimmy Kellys Steakhouse!“

“Wish I knew about this restaurant sooner! It is kind of a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant. They have the best Chinese takeout and you get so much food for how cheap it is here. The chicken basil fried rice is one of my favorites, but everything I’ve tried here has been great. It is family owned and ran and you can tell they care about their customers. Jenny is the sweetest and always remembers me and my order!!“

“Been my favorite for 27 years ,great service and wonderful food . My granddaughter's favorite after school ," let's grab a snack " ,speaks volumes.“

“Me and my boyfriend came here today and our minds were blown, I love all Thai food and hadn’t had much in Nashville. We got the shrimp dumplings 7/10, Bao BBQ 6/10 the curry mussels appetizer and wow 1000/10 the perfect amount of garlic (which is a ton) and an amazing kick of heat we hadn’t ever had anything like it my boyfriend said they were the best mussels he’s ever had and I agree! I’m a Penang curry girl but since it’s only on Saturday I tried the masa curry since it’s Thursday and it was very good! The service was awesome and it’s very homey inside which we loved. Easily the best Thai in Nashville we will be back often!!“

“Great experience at PF Cheng’s! The food came out quickly and tasted fantastic. I have a dairy allergy, and our server Tommy was really accommodating about it, checking on ingredients and making sure my meal was safe without any hassle. I ordered the Buddha Feast and loved all the veggies that were included. Will definitely be back!“

“Absolute Perfection — Best Sweet & Sour Chicken Anywhere!

​If you are looking for top-tier, authentic comfort food in the Nashville West area, Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant (6410 Charlotte Pike) is an absolute hidden gem.

​I recently ordered their Sweet and Sour Chicken, and I can honestly say it is the absolute best I have ever had.
​Here is exactly why it stands out:
​The Crunch: The chicken chunks are fried to a perfect, golden crispiness. Even after taking it home, the batter stays beautifully crunchy without getting soggy or overly greasy.

​The Sauce: The sweet and sour sauce strikes the perfect balance—it's bright, tangy, and rich without being sickeningly sweet or syrupy like a lot of other takeout spots.

​The Value: The portions are incredibly generous, the service is fast, and the family-owned team running the counter is always incredibly welcoming and friendly.

​Whether you grab a quick lunch special or a heavy dinner combo, this place hits the mark every single time. If you haven't been yet, stop sleeping on this spot and go get the Sweet and Sour Chicken immediately!“

“Edit: 8/3/26 I got the scallop hibachi today and it was amazing! The scallops and veggies were cooked perfectly and the sauces were so tasty!

Edit: January 2025 I went back a week later to get the hibachi chicken for myself. Absolutely delicious and a great portion! This is a new favorite of mine!

Original review: January 2025 I was very excited to find a place that serves stir fried udon noodles! It was so close to being perfect, but the sauce and chicken were unusually watery. Hoping I just got a bad batch and I’m willing to try again. I also tasted some of my partners hibachi chicken and it was delicious!“

“The staff are friendly and efficient. Staying on top of the buffet and drinks.

The food is good as far as a usual chinese buffet goes with a good selection of options. If you like these types of buffets, then in general you'll like this.

Do not come in expecting some revolutionary dining experience. There's a tradition and pattern to this and they follow it well.“

“I’ve eaten here several times and always get the hunan chicken. Let me just say, I don’t typically go for super spicy foods (this dish is very spicy) but it’s SO good that I’m willing to suffer through the pain! The egg rolls are always great and the staff are SO friendly.“

“Ordered the Chicken and Broccoli. It was fantastic. Great flavors and not too salty. The egg rolls were delicious. Not a thing wrong. No in-house delivery so I had to go through Door Dash.

The crab rangoons were also very tasty! Would order again.“

“I doubted I would agree with the name. So I stopped in and tried chicken on a stick. It was very good and the staff were really prompt and respectful. The cashier made me feel welcome also. Update: The food was so good I had to go back yesterday and there was no change in the flavor although I believe there was a different cook on shift. Flavor was on point !!“

“Great service and delicious food! Thank you to managers Hlue and Tony for their excellent care with a large catering order done every three months for a community dinner I, along with some friends support for an amazing non-profit Dismas House.“

“Everyone at Chopstix, and their adorable children are perfect at hospitality, and making their authentic gourmet Asian dishes! Please, stop by, because they support local businesses and deserve your support. Xian xian!

Vegetarian options: Every dish can be made vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: Everything is made to order.

Kid-friendliness: Fun atmosphere with children around.“

“Great service, AMAZING food!!“

“I was craving chicken, sauce and veggies, this hit the spot.
Ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan & Chicken with mushrooms. Both were done hot, fresh, and generous portions. This is a gem💎 let Chan take care of lunch or dinner today 🤗“

“Meet noodles was a wonderful surprise. I slurped up their shrimp wonton noodle soup and it was so good. I did add a good helping of the chili oil. The star of the order was their spring rolls though. Order multiple orders of this because the flavors are beyond great!!!“

“This will be my go to Chinese restaurant in Franklin. Exactly what I was looking for. Crab rangoons were very good, and they have crab in them. I've been noticing some places that just serve cream cheese rangoons lately. The wanton soup hit the spot and chicken with broccoli also very good. Good sized portion as well. I could go back and order again right now. Good stuff.“

“The food here is always wonderful! Great flavors and big selection of entrees. Everything is cooked just right and packed well for takeout, and it’s ready on time. The employees pay attention to detail. We’ve been ordering here for 8 years, it’s the best Chinese place in the area!“

“This is a quick place to get quick snacks for the kids. The kids saw someone with the tanghulu so they must have one each as well. It was $8.20 for one tanghulu each. The tanghulu was already premade so she handed us after we paid for it within two minutes.

They also have boba tea and food. The prices seem a little high for the food received.“

“Been looking for a classic east coast style take out place for years, and have found nothing….till now! Chicken was hot, crispy, and delicious(even after the 15 minute drive home). General Tsos actually has a kick to it, like it should. Daughter and father combo working the place are super sweet and are legit. Menu is permanently on my fridge. This place could be a problem for me.“

“This was my wife's idea. I know, shocking that a wife can decide where to eat. LOL It was an excellent choice. We ate way more that we needed, but wanted to try multiple things on the menu. This ain't exactly what we usually eat, and wanted to hone in on what we order for future visits. I'll just get the beef soup next time, but with extra beef. It was delicious. My wife will get a steamed bun and we'll share seared pork and cabbage dumplings.“

“Came here from Canada! Such a charming restaurant. Cozy atmosphere, super attentive service, and flavorful dishes. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, which really makes the experience special. A real favorite, I’d go back anytime!“

“In the midst of everyday news, there are also stories that deserve to be told because they remind us of the value of kindness and respect towards others.

Congratulations to the entire Powell Avenue Panda Express team!. Thank you for demonstrating that respect, empathy and a vocation to service always leave a positive imprint on those who visit you.“

“This place is owned by such a sweet, humble family. My family and I love coming here for the food. Just something about supporting small, local family businesses as a family. Overall, the prices are reasonable, selection is great and you know everything is clean when the workers themselves eat the food there!“

“The food is so delicious although I had my Chinese fix already, I had to return for my son who wanted the same thing I had a couple days ago. Not too pleased with placing my card for payment in your hands and you placing it on the counter, where’s the mutual respect, not cool. Very pleased with the fact that I ordered diet shrimp and broccoli and inquired about garlic sauce. They added it no problem. Pros and cons I suppose. They were friendly enough today (I got the sisters mixed up). The vegetable fried rice here is my fav in Nashville, no one and I mean no one does it better! And the soft fried teriyaki chicken is everything coming from a real fatty!! The portions are plentiful, the broccoli was not over cooked and the flavor of the dishes is simply delish. I am very big on customer service, but all things considered, especially in 2025, I will definitely be going back. Give them a try. The food does not disappoint.“

“Ordered a large Beef Lo Mein. The food was pretty good but it won’t knock your socks off. The noodles were well seasoned and had great texture, the veggies were good, but the beef could have done with a little more seasoning. For the price, it definitely hit the spot. I wish it wasn’t fried in shortening, but if I wanted a health forward meal, I would've gone somewhere else. The lady working the front counter was nice. Would give it like 4.3 stars but since that’s not an option, we’ll round it up.“

“I walked in there was immediately no wait she showed me the lunch specials and said it’ll be ready in 5 by the time I sat down and pulled my phone out it was ready I was nervous but this sesame chicken did not disappoint this was probably my favorite I usually ask for soy to add but tried before it was the perfect combination of sauce and the rice was already seasoned magnificent I will be back thank you as well to the lady taking my order she was very kind and welcoming 🩷“

“This place is absolutely amazing and such kid friendly. I loved the food it was so good, and this is the first time my little Timmy actually ate international food I was so stoked. The service was amazing my server was Miki, I also think she is the owner, she was just amazing and so nice to me and my family. Also, this place was really clean. I give this place my full recommendation. 20/10“

“Just picked up dinner to go and had to wait on the sesame chicken which was no big deal but the gentleman who was helping me, who’s name I believe started with a “G” offered me a soda while I waited and could not have been a nicer guy! Really cool guy and very friendly!!“

“Im just a die hard fan of Panda Express. The staff is always smiling and happy to serve you. The whole menu is good.
My favorite tho... the fried rice with veggies and Sesame chicken on top.
Its always loaded.
And a root beer.
For 11.00 $!
Im full for most the day“

“Was looking to find place like the one that was next to Kroger and chose this one because it was close and I've heard of China Moon before and liked the MJ location. The food here was very good & the price was good. The atmosphere wasn't so great and I would never dine in because the chairs were raggedy, strewn about, boxes stacked everywhere and no real theme or restaurant vibes. No can sodas :/ but the people were nice and quick about making the food. It was bagged, hot & had everything inside the bag so you don't have to ask for anything. I'll go again!“
