37 Best Chinese Restaurants in Nashville

“Brandie was AMAZING! she has great work ethic and was so attentive to our table. when something went wrong, she never showed any signs of irritation and took care of it with a smile on her face. she was a 10/10 server and i will be requesting her from now on, as should all of you. #BRANDIEONTOP“

“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%.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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”. ???“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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“

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

“We ordered online and picked up in store. Food was ready in 15 min. 2 orders of tofu,spicy and general Tso , 2 orders of lo mein , 6 spring rolls and donuts. Y'all... This was SO GOOD! Ate til I was full yesterday, ate some for lunch and now last bit for dinner. So much food! And y'all .Those donuts...were .. AMAZING! EVERYTHING WAS GREAT! We don't eat meat so can't comment on meat dishes but highly recommend! So happy they are around the corner from us , we will be going here more often! Lady was so nice during pick up , just great and quick good thank you!“

“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, 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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed my dining experience with them you get a lot of food it's always hot they're very pleasant and the prices are really reasonable definitely recommend I just wish that they would update this restaurant it's been the same way since 20 01 through different owners but it needs to be repainted in either gray or black the chairs and tables have to go if they made it a nice looking environment I think more people would come it just looks kind of trashy“

“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.“

“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.

Beyond serving food, their staff proves that a smile, a kind word and respectful service can make a difference in people's lives. Those who visit this establishment find a welcoming environment where everyone is treated with dignity, regardless of language or origin.

This recognition also highlights the company’s commitment to the Latino community, by offering employment opportunities and opening its doors to people looking to get ahead with work and dedication.

As a medium of communication, we believe that it is also important to share good deeds and to recognize those who, with small everyday gestures, contribute to building a more united, inclusive and supportive community.

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.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“
