35 Best Chinese Restaurants in Nashville

“My family hasn't enjoyed PF Changs in 20yrs since living in San Diego, the food was still delicious. Our server Brandie provided excellent service by being professional, educating on menu options, and perfectly passing the food where we were able to enjoy everything. Thank you Brandie for great experience!“

“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.“

“After seeing our cardiologist in Nashville, we meet our son and chose this restaurant for location. It was the best any of us had tried in years. Service kept our table cleared, tea filled and answered our questions about dishes. 3 large adults were only $58. Considering the size, freshness and presentation of shrimp, fish and meat dishes this was well priced. I was ashamed of the customers around us, leaving chips uneaten and no tip. Not even a dollar. I was glad to tip my server 15%.“

“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 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!“

“This place is a gem that has been operating here forever!! The best authentic Thai food in Nashville. The space is in a house and can be a bit tight and crowded, but I think it is one of the charms of old place that has been around for so long. You can see the owner likes plants, there are lot of hanging plants and pots all around which add charms and personal touch to the experience. Their Pad Thai is very tasty but it could be less sweet. The flavor is bold and tastes very authentic. I usually get the one with green bean noodles which has nice texture and tastier. We love their bao buns and dumplings, too. Their sticky mango dessert is one of the best I have ever tasted!“

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

“Door dash,UberEats and Grubhub“

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

“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 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.“

“Not much to except that I really enjoyed my time here. While I don't eat Chinese food often, this place DEFINITELY has some of the best I've had. To anyone reading this be sure to try the Singapore noodles. Super 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.“

“This is by far the best take-out Chinese in Nashville. IDK how this place stays off the map... I guess its in deep Bellevue, but it is awesome. In a city that has no good American Chinese, this is a rare find. we moved further up north and still make special trips out here when we are in the need of some good lo main. don't skip this one!“

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

“Really enjoyed the house fried rice in spite of the fact that this place does not have bean sprouts or green onion. Rice was NOT Plain or bland. Rice was tasty and fresh. That is all I purchased was HOUSE FRIED RICE. Second visit. 👌🏽 1/13/2026 4:30PM“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“Great service, AMAZING food!!“

“Super Wok's Chicken Lo Mein, Sesame Chicken, and Beef With Broccoli are all phenomenal dishes. Their food always hit never miss. I dine in at Super Wok once per month or I order for delivery. A friendly clean restaurant and atmosphere. On DoorDash if you order a certain amount of food Super Wok will give you a $9.00 discount.“

“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.“

“Meet Noodle is my favorite ramen spot. The food is consistently delicious, the staff is always nice, and the ambience is always comforting. I love getting the steak noodles, instant noodles, extremely spicy with a fried egg and a passion fruit tea. It’s the best!!!“

“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!“

“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.

Today we want to publicly recognize the team at Panda Express Chinese Kitchen, located at 2534 Powell Avenue, Branch 110, for the excellent care and human treatment they provide to each of their customers.

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.“

“I just ordered my normal, chicken noodle soup w. extra chicken and a shrimp egg roll. It was amazing as normal and they are super quick with your order. I recommend this Chinese restaurant for anyone in north Nashville. They’re pretty awesome“

“Love this spot man the wife is so nice and I think she puts some extra beef in my pepper stake cuz I'm a growing boy. The son of the restaurant has grown up before my eyes over the years and the pepper stake is to die for honestly love this place and I will be coming back here for years to come“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“
