49 Best Chinese Restaurants near Brentwood

“I travel to China frequently, but when at home in Middle Tennessee and I want some authentic cuisine I eat here. My absolute favorite is the #8 Fish Chinese cabbage hot pot (paired with a kettle of hot tea of course). Perfect for a chilly day and I'm instantly transported back to Shenzhen!“

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

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

“Great experience“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Love this place. First time. I got my noodles hot not Thai hot. Still nice and spicy. They grow fresh herbs in front of building Thai basil was nice and fresh. Got toasted coconut sticky rice with mango. All good. Coming back. Fun atmosphere with notes and photos of happy customers. They consistently win awards it looks like. All Thai staff.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Ms Jennifer was the manager on shift when my family and I first tried PF Chang’s. The dining experience her and her staff presented and gave us was remarkable. Food was amazing and served in a decent time. She also made her way around our table multiple times asking how we were doing ensuring that we had the best dining experience. I’ve been back multiple times since then.“

“Door dash,UberEats and Grubhub“

“Best place ever“

“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!!!“

“We had such a wonderful time eating here! The food is AMAZING and the owner is such a lovely person. She answered all our questions and made us feel very welcome. We came here for my birthday as all I wanted was good tofu. Well, I got GREAT tofu! The seasoning, texture, flavors - everything was amazing. We are already planning our next trip to Franklin so we can visit the Bamboo House again!!“

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

“Their food is delicious, and the owners are so friendly. We’ve been going here for years, and it’s become a staple for our family!“

“I felt like Chinese… I live near by and remembered someone saying this place was good but WOW! I’m amazed at how fresh everything tastes. Idk how they do it but even the texture of the broccoli is like they went to the market this morning and got enough to serve in all the dishes for the day or something. The chicken is awesome in this Gen Tso’s just wow

Three hours later:
I just had to say again. This is probably the best to go ordered Chinese food I’ve ever ate. The Gen Tso’s chicken was great. I set the Lo Mein in its box in the microwave. I ordered both in case I didn’t like one or the other. I ate almost every bite of the Gen Tso’s chicken. My stomach couldn’t hold anymore. Three hours later I went for the Lo Mein and hoooly moley it’s awesome even cold. Smashed both egg rolls. These really taste hand made not like the ones you get other places that were frozen they throw in the fryer. These egg rolls were ready good“

“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.“

“So like my flight was super delayed so by the time I arrived in Nashville I was at Hangry levels. While I was waiting for my car at Enterprise I figure I’m gonna go pig out close, walked around the corner and saw this restaurant. I wasn’t very hopeful but the food was surprisingly yummy. All the foods I placed in my plate was so tasty and no strange aftertastes and with quality. Yes I was Hangry but compared to most restaurants in Hampden county MA this place is yummy and I could not complain about that price. My tummy was happy with our time together here; feeding my soul as well. Thanks“

“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.“

“Great service, AMAZING food!!“

“Have ordered from here MANY times, and have ALWAYS enjoyed everything we have tried!“

“Food was delicious and definitely quelled the craving for Americanized Chinese food. The sweet and sour chicken was the best item we ordered, with perfectly crisp breading and super tender chicken. The General Tso’s was also very good.

However, the pu pu platter was a little disappointing. Both the fried chicken and spare ribs were tough and overcooked, but the other items were good.

The restaurant itself is a little shabby, very clearly intended to operate mostly as a takeout facility. Very little seating, bare bones decor, storage in the hallway leading to the bathroom. But the building seems clean.

The service was good. We received our food in a timely manner, especially given the size of our order. Nothing was missing and everything was packaged well, with little squares of cardboard even placed between the containers so the plastic doesn’t melt.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“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 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 🤗“

“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 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.“

“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 🩷“

“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!!“

“Great Chinese food! I love finding local places like this when traveling to different cities, and this one did not disappoint. The portions were very generous, and you definitely get your money’s worth compared to many other restaurants. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly, and the service was excellent. I had a great experience and will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“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!“

“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“

“Only reason im giving 4 star is because they dont have the tofu thats on the online menu, as a vegetarian I would like more options than just rice & veggies, same goes for the location off elm hill pike, they didn't have it either, but great customer and fresh food, just with they would have the tofu“

“The Charlotte Ave Panda Express never disappoints! The food is always hot, fresh, and flavorful — my go-to comfort meal every time. The service here is just as great as the food: fast, friendly, and consistent. The team keeps the line moving quickly while still taking the time to greet you with a smile. Whether it’s a quick lunch or dinner on the go, I know I can count on this location for quality and great service every time.“

“Good food and great service. I visit this place often when in town!“
