38 Best Chinese Restaurants near Madison

“The Tokyo Fried Chicken is heavenly. The Mongolian beef is really good. The rest of the food is great, as well. Very diverse for selection. All of the food comes out piping hot and looks the way it does in the pictures, which are conveniently placed on the wall by the front counter for reference. Nice touch. Definitely stop in when on this side of town.“

“The food is usually good, but it has been better before. I hope they can do more care to the buffet to make it amazing again. The cleaning needs to be done better. And the food should be more fresher. Otherwise, it is a good value especially for large family with kids. The desert selection is nice and the parking is convenient.

“We were visiting from out of town on Christmas. One of the only places opened.. they was SUPER busy. We called in our order and, was ready when we arrived to pick up Food was SOOO good. Location of restaurant is kind of sus… but, Will forsure order again if we close to the area…“

“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.“

“We've enjoyed this restaurant many times while visiting Vanderbilt. Yesterday, our very attentive server, Scott, delivered the usual really great meal.
Scott also secured my credit card that I left behind, so that I could retrieve it today. Thanks to PF Chang and especially Scott.“

“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!“

“Food was amazing and the woman at the register was so sweet!! She said my soup was really hot and took off the lid for me! Everything was hot and fresh and as she said: “yummy yummy”! Definitely coming back!! Well worth a 20 minute drive!!!“

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

“A great treat from beautiful China… A cultural experience in sampling the variety of choices (and there are many) you are given to make your selection. I have been eating at this restaurant for over seven years now and it is by far my most favorite Asian cuisine. Not only is the food exceptional, the service too is SUPERB!!! The last time I was there Gilda (aka Gina) was my waitress. She is extremely customer oriented, friendly, professional and always works to get your food out to you in a timely manner. If an error is made in the placement of your order she will do all within her power to correct it and make it right for the customer. Another waitress to ask for when you arrive is Julia. If you are visiting or just passing through Nashville I highly recommend China Cottage. Out of 5 Stars on the scale of 1 - 5 I give them a. “5”. ???“

“The food is very average, with some of the chicken being tough, and gamey, other than that, I sampled just about everything else, and it was pretty good.

The prices are very fair, and the staff is very friendly, attentive, and they hustle.“

“We ordered combination platters for dinner. They delivered quickly! The food was fresh and the vegetables were crisp and flavorful. The egg rolls were crispy, not greasy!
Amazing dinners. The folks there were so nice!!
Definitely 5 stars!!“

“The best place for fast Asian food in Nashville. Has not changed in over 20 years.“

“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.“

“We were driving to Chicago and we had to stop by Tennessee and we were craving Chinese food that is close to our hotel. They were quick. The dumplings were delicious. I ordered a small lo mein but it was still a big serving. Definitely recommend them if you’re in the area. Didnt have pictures cause we were hungry and ate them all 😂😋“

“I love the cheese wontons and crispy orange chicken the eggrolls are really good I eat here a lot they give you decent portion sizes everything is always fresh I recently tried the crispy chicken wings with sauce omg so delicious and the lo mein is so yummy“

“I love this restaurant. It’s a family favorite in Nashville, we’ve been going for years. It’s our go-to for comfort food whenever we’re in the area & it’s always a pleasure to come in & know we’re recognized ♡ The food is super reasonably priced & prepared quickly & I look forward to visiting again!!“

“GET THE TERIYAKI CHICKEN. From the moment I took my first bite, I was transported. The flavors were harmonious and rich, the sweetness of the glaze balanced beautifully with its savory depth, and the tenderness of the chicken was nothing short of exquisite. It was clear that this dish wasn’t merely cooked, but crafted with intention, precision, and, I dare say, love. It stood out not just as a meal, but as an experience. One that has lingered in my memory long after the last bite.“

“Traveling through and man will I tell you. This place is great. Super cool vibe when you walk in, everyone super friendly and man. Takeout portions are a hit or miss sometimes. If you get curry sometimes the sauce to meat ratio is out of wack. Here… it was perfect. Great portions on the curry and pad Thai. The spring rolls were great. Spice level is solid. I got the red curry hot. And for me, it’s perfect. And they have this hot sauce that they threw in the bag. Idk what it is but DAMN it’s good. Definitely will come back next time I’m in town.“

“Excellent food. I ordered the Chicken with vegetables. It was the best! I loved the freshness of the vegetables, the sauce was delicious.. We got excellent service and we love the new owners. It was a wonderful lunch. I can't say enough good things about it. You have to try it for yourself.. It was a joy to eat there. We had such a great time.“

“This was my very first time ordering DoorDash from China Wok, and if I could give them 1,000 starts for the freshness and great taste I would!! So I'm giving them 1,000 stars!!!! My food was so hot when it arrived I was so amazed and pleased! I work from home so I didn't have time to go out and get lunch! Shout out to the DoorDash guy Steven as well!! He needs 1,001 stars! 😂 Thank you China Wok, I appreciate you! 🫶🏽“

“Wonderful food and very friendly family owned restaurant. Been driving 20+ minutes out of our way to eat here for several years now. Husband says they have the best general tso’s chicken. I love everything but have to say I really enjoyed their moo shu vegetables recently. They are such a nice family. #supportlocal“

“My best friend and I stopped in for lunch today. HIME was our server and man he was amazing!!! Great service and food!!!! If you are in the area and want sushi this is the place and make sure to ask for HIME“

“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.“

“This place rocks! We've been here a few times (always takeout) and it's by far the best Chinese we've had in TN so far! There's lots of good Thai, Indian, and Japanese food around us in Mt Juliet, but there's really not a good Chinese restaurant, which is a damn shame (we're transplants from the Northeast). We stumbled upon China Spring while driving around and this is now our go-to as the quality of the food is always top-notch. They have a standard menu, but the flavors are so much better here than anywhere else. It's a bit of a drive for us, but it's totally worth it and I highly recommend coming here if you're in the mood for some damn good Chinese food!“

“I drove all the way from Gallatin Tennessee to Hendersonville just to get Chinese food from this place. It was so good so fresh and can’t wait To come back again. I used to live behind Peking house years ago so me and my kids used to eat it all the time but you know that it never change is great.“

“Always a comfortable setting and the atmosphere entices eating.“

“Thank you so much to the restaurant China Spring, I had a large order for Saturday, October 5, at 3:30, and my food was hot, delicious, perfect, and my Youth Group and families loved it, and ask me where they are located. China Spring is the best restaurant, and I recommend the Teriyaki Chicken and the Mongolian Beef, but all of their food is wonderful, fresh, and good!💖💖💖💖💖“

“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.“

“Great service, AMAZING food!!“

“I use door dash on the app Rice box doesn't not allow special instructions at all . I place a call to Rice box they said my food was already done it wasn't but a few minutes after I placed order.. when the order got picked up they said that it was cooked extra spicy and extra crispy. pitched the food will not be back.“

“TLDR; Great food! Don't be scared of the building!
We were super skeptical about this place when we pulled up, but oh boy where we wrong! It was definitely a takeout Chinese food place, and had all of the old food pictures on the wall, and the exact menu as any other cheap Chinese food place. The mixed reviews had me worried they were going to be garbage but folks, I could not be more wrong!
The food was absolutely delicious! I got sesame chicken combination and my partner got Orange chicken combination, which both came with fried rice and egg rolls. We got drinks added on and the bill was under 30$! I *wish* i had gotten an order of crab rangoon because I just know that would have been put of this world. Everything was super hot and fresh out of the kitchen, with thick flavorful sauces! Everyone said the rice was old in other reviews but my rice was absolutely perfect 👌 The egg rolls were crisp and left us wishing we had more!
Forgive the pictures because we did eat it in the car at 9 pm, but you could easily take it home or to a park to eat. But be warned! Our portions were absolutely huge and we had to bring the rest home!“

“Have not been in a few years due to covid and personal illness. Decided to go as we use to do Sundays all the time. Very clean, choices were numerous and all tasted really good. Fresh watermelon was so sweet & good. Better food than Pucketts for sure.“

“The service here was really friendly and all their selections were continuously stocked in the middle of lunch time.

The only downer is that the portions seemed to be lacking from what I am used to seeing at Panda Express. #shrinkflation.

The Blazing Bourbon Chicken was really good and should be a permanent menu item.“

“The workers were friendly and the food was delicious. Unfortunately they didn't have two of our entrees ready, but it tasted even better after a short wait since it was just cooked and hot off the wok. The restaurant and bathroom were very clean.“

“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.

My wife will get a steamed bun and we'll share seared pork and cabbage dumplings.“

“The effort is there. The flavor is there. I’m sure this is mom and pop shop and certainly want to be supportive. The rice noodles were on point and not many places can get this one right.

Very keen to try out other dishes and appreciate this as an additional noodle option in the city!“

“I mean what can you say about Panda Express haha it is freaking fantastic the food is amazing the service is great the atmosphere is awesome I mean there's really no complaints at all I would honestly come here any freakin time if I had the money haha“
