39 Best Chinese Restaurants in Memphis

“Our waitress was so much fun and very polite. She recommended some great birthday drink options and was willing to take my photos. I thought I would have some left overs but the food was so good, I didn't leave anything extra. I ordered the veggie roll and salmon with white rice. Will definitely visit them again soon.“

“So good! First time trying them and it definitely is a favorite spot now!“

“The food is worth stopping. But also, conversations with the owner is worth the stop. Now you have to watch her, she's a wonderful sales lady & you will leave buying something that you didn't set out to buy. Overall she's a Memphis hidden gem.“

“Best food in the city and great service! What more do you need?“

“best I ever eaten and the service was awesome. the wait was quick.“

“I have been a patron for several years and their food and service has been excellent.“

“Bamboo garden also host for birthday 🥳 party , companies events , anniversaries, and other gathering . Bamboo garden can handle any of your catering need for an affordable price .“

“Fourth generations of our family have really enjoyed this place! The food is excellent every time. The service is great, the atmosphere is warm. We love coming. You can't go wrong here. We usually get their dinner for 4 or 6 or however. Any people are there. There is ALWAYS more food than we can eat. Give this place a try, and you will ve comparing all other Asian food to this spot. Thank you for years of lovely evenings in your establishment. My grandparents are gone, but my sister just brought the 4th generation to the restaurant this year.“

“My coworker and I go here often for lunch and will order to-go. The food is ALWAYS delicious and hot! I usually get fried rice, egg drop soup, bourbon chicken, or egg rolls. There are tables and seating inside, but most customers, it seems, typically get their food to-go. Their take out containers are good quality, and I never have any spills or leaks. I highly recommend New China for good quality chinese cuisine!“

“So all their dishes are good“

“Three things you gotta know about the Rice Bowl on Getwell. One, you can only place to-go orders and there's no dining in. Two, the staff is professional and phenomenal. Three, you'll have enough food for two days in one singular box, and you absolutely will be back for more! The Rice Bowl is one of those hidden gems that once you come across it, you never look back. Me and my mom have been loving the Rice Bowl since I was a kid. Now, as a full grown adult, I still have yet to have a bad meal or experience there. My go-to order is the large chicken fried rice and 6-piece wings. (Call in the order ahead of time if you can to avoid the walk-in wait time.) The rice is always hot, and the wings are fresh out of the grease! The prices are affordable, and you always get more bang for your bucks. Don't sleep on the Rice Bowl y'all! (The rice might not look like much in the last photo, but I swear I'd already started eating it and four of the wings before I even got home. Yes, it's that good. 🫣😩)“

“I like this place a lot. I patronize it when I'm in the area. The food is always fresh and hot, and the servings are usually large enough to share. The pricing is very good compared to the amount of food you get. The owners are very friendly. The dining area is dated, the booth seats need replacing, and the tv has poor reception.“

“I've been coming here for over 10 years. They've always been kind and helpful. Whenever it's been a while since last visit they acknowledge me. Always my go to when I crave Chinese food. Everything I've has been hot/fresh and delicious ranging from the chicken noodle soup to the big fish box. Try them out. You won't be disappointed.“

“Nam King is my favorite restaurant. I love the wonton soup, combination mei fun and green pepper steak. My husband loves the shrimp fried rice, green beans and egg foo young. The food is so fresh and delicious. We have tried many different restaurants in Memphis. Nam King restaurant is the best .“

“I ordered the egg foo young twice and averaged 5 patties per order. If you factor in inflation and the cost of eggs, I think I made money off them. Veg chop suey was great too - a lot vegetables even in a small order and wasn’t greasy. The people who run it are very personable and warm.“

“I've been eating here since I was a child. I come here, nowhere else, whenever I want to-go Chinese food while in Memphis. They've always been cash only. I took away a star for that. Food is consistently delicious. My go-to dish is the small combination lo mein (10.50). The small is big! It is served in a regular sized to go plate - the one that's made for an entree and two sides. On point. I get the rice sometimes. It costs about the same as the lo mein. It's good. I like that they haven't changed their rice to whatever the other Chinese restaurants are serving now. I didn't take a picture but I was starving. Lol
Oh yeah. It's located in an old neighborhood. I've never had a problem in the area.“

“I have been searching for Good food in Memphis for the past couple of years now..And might I say that this place has Not disappointed me Every time that I went. The food is Fresh and not heavy and even when I warm it up it Still doesn't lose its flavor
Great job! And Highly recommended!“

“Excelent Chinese food made on the spot. Fresh ingredients, awesome flavor. We order at least twice a week because we live in the area. However the area is not very nice unfortunately, and neither is the location. The place have tables but the restaurant was converted to delivery mostly, so there is no dining in although they still have their tables. Their menu looks smaller now than the original but they still prepare the dish if you request it. Our favorite dishes there are the broccoli and shrimp, Moo goo Gai pan, Moo Shu vegetable, vegetable lo mai and show Mai, egg Fu yong and their fry rice is fantastic!! Even in busiest days their order pick ups are no more than 20 min! The lady is very nice to us and we always customize one thing or another like extra onions in the rice, extra shrimp, more sweet and sour sauce instead of soy and duck sauce, etc“

“The best Asian restaurant in Memphis and top 5 overall restaurant. Speaking of the official Petals not the Little one. The Little Petals, here on Poplar is easily the best lunch in the area and carries a nice array of items that the regular Petals does. I come here often. Great staff. Great food and quick service.“

“Im a trucker from out of town but my terminal is close by.. I rarely leave reviews anymore but this place definitely deserves the stars. I roll the dice alot on the road trying new places and I think I struck gold! Yesterday I had the beef in garlic sauce... blew my mind the quality and portions are great for the price! Today im having the chicken lo mein and again im convinced they just know wth they're doing... good job guys!

Only down side is the inside is closed and it looks dead...dont be fooled by that.“

“My wife recently found out she is diabetic, so we have been making diet changes to accommodate that as well as weight loss. We asked for guidance from Tim, he went above and beyond to assist us with our menu selections. He was patient, helpful and very knowledgeable. Great food, great staff, fast service, and Tim. What more could you ask for? 😀“

“Ayyo if you round the area and you don't know what to get,grab that orange chicken with white rice,on God! Food is made fresh some you just gotta let my people do they thing but I promise.My name is Deon lewis and I approve this message“

“The staff are very nice & polite and are willing to explain the specials and menu items. It was my first time visiting and I got two combos, they came with egg rolls and rice. I got orange chicken with fried rice and a chicken & broccoli with fried rice. The orange chicken was sweet, tangy and citrusy. The portions are large/good sizes and the food tastes really good as well. Would absolutely recommend :))“

“Service is sketchy at times but food is ALWAYS great & more than you can eat! We like it for lunch & dinner.“

“Stopped here on a whim and the food was really good. This was my first time eating here and I ordered the beef and broccoli dinner plate, the orange chicken dinner plate and a shrimp egg roll. The plates came with chicken fried rice and chicken egg rolls. Although the wait was a bit long I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a decently priced chinese food spot.“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Let me tell you a secret we learned a long time ago. Things to look for:
Menu board looks aged & faded ✓
very small lobby ✓
older folks cooking✓
bad part of town✓
Bars on the windows✓✓
Portions were way more than we could eat, taste was on point. They have this down to a perfect science. We found our new spot when visiting Memphis. I hope you give them a shot!“

“Good food , very friendly“

“Food is always fresh but the lady at the front who I have knew to take orders for years doesn’t have any customer service skills I mean a smile and thank you once in a while wouldn’t hurt I mean we are supporting your business coming to purchase frequently not to mention the majority of customers are African “

“Same old yums. Local celebrity of restaurants.
This one gets to know their customers. When I strut inside towards the seating area he already knows who I am and what I ordered. Sometimes around noon it can be a little busy with the call in orders but it's just yums.“

“I dined in this place 3 times in last few months for my business trip to Memphis. I ordered mainly vegetarian dishes ( except chicken spinach one time). Based on my experience, food is relatively better than other places and cooked fresh. Staff is very polite and I was amused by the delivering robot! One advise I have is, perhaps keep the noise level down little bit. Overall, it's definitely worth your money“

“Thank you for hosting us for dinner tonight. The appetizers were delicious, and the entrées were equally impressive— I enjoyed the General Chicken while my partner had the General Shrimp. Both dishes were prepared with great care. I’d also like to give a special shout‑out to Alex, who was truly a class act. He went above and beyond to ensure we were completely satisfied with our meals. For me, customer service is what defines a business, and Alex’s genuine care for his customers is simply stellar.“

“Whole menu is 🔥🔥🔥, reasonably priced, hot and ready in 20 minutes, and everybody is so nice. If you are a student, this should be your goto. Eggrolls are amazing. 10/10“

“I’ve been purchasing food here since I moved to Memphis 15yrs ago and NOT one complaint.“

“I rarely give reviews on a business page but the service we received today warrants it. Having been to the restaurant multiple times, we have always had awesome food and great service. Today however, was awful. Our waitress, who also appeared to be the bartender, was MIA for the majority of the time. She took our order, only to come back to the table to ask us to repeat the order., total of three items. Brought our appetizer at the same time as our food, essentially throwing it all down on the table, and then disappeared. We ran out of drinks, then had to ask the guy at the cash register for our ticket and a to-go box resulting in our having to pay at the cash register. She finally appeared to bring back the check and then became angry, calling us miserable people, when she didn't get a tip for her poor service. I don't think I can support a company who allows this kind of service.“

“Always fast, friendly service followed my delicious food .“

“My wife and I drove from Alabama to meet with my niece and her family for dim sum. First time here with new owners. The service was beyond great. The quality of the dim sum was the best. We definitely return!!“

“The place is beautiful it’s so much bigger on the inside than the outside. The staff was very welcoming and kind. My family and I enjoy their food so much I definitely recommend to those how haven’t tried it.“

“We have been eating at Wang’s for many years. We have occasionally tried other Chinese restaurants, especially when we travel. We have never found another one that comes close. Their menu is extensive, and they offer a nice wine selection. We always order several of the appetizers because it’s too hard to narrow down our choices. For entrees, we especially like the Ta-Chin chicken, Kung Pao chicken, all the wok tossed options. Delicious food and nice people.“
