36 Best Chinese Restaurants in Nashville

“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.“

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

“Great little neighborhood corner Chinese take out. Service is excellent. Portions are great. Price is reasonable. Never been disappointed.
One of the few Chinese restaurants that still offers shrimp toast appetizer. Their chicken wings are awesome. My out of town families always ask if we can get carry out from there when they come to visit because they love the food.“

“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!“

“Everything was great at this PF Changs. The food was fantastic as always, and wonderful service from Lauren! I had the teriyaki chicken and lettuce wraps, both phenomenal. Will definitely be back! The butternut squash dumplings are life changing btw.“

“Aleria was super sweet and very helpful. I was unsure what to order and she suggested a few things. I went with the lettuce wrap and it delicious. She came to check on me and see if I liked my choice and gave the biggest most genuine smile. That right there will make me return.“

“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”. ???“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Hong Kong is the best!! Everything is fresh fast authentic flavors and just plain delicious. The egg rolls are crispy and light the broccoli with shrimp is perfect and the slices of pork with vegetables reminds me of my childhood meals. 10 out 10 100%“

“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.“

“Door dash,UberEats and Grubhub“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Generous portions, amazing flavor. Perfect mix of meat and vegetables, I love this place! Perfect for ordering takeout, the woman at the counter is efficient and very helpful!

We ordered the general tsos chicken, beef lo mein, szechuan tofu, and fried pork wontons. The wontons and the tofu were our favorite!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 panda is the best. And their food is always consistently delicious—PERIOD. Every time I’m in the area I try to go to this location because it is so good! Give it a try and if not I surely will over and over again.

Keep in mind I eat the same thing every time .

Plate:
White Rice or Super Greens
Orange Chicken
Black Pepper Steak“

“Great service, AMAZING food!!“

“New England transplants, this one’s for you. We recently moved from NH to TN and quickly realized Chinese food here hits differently. This spot is hands-down the closest we’ve found to back home.

Steak in a stick = beef teriyaki (a little well done, not chewy like back home), the rice is spot on, and the sweet and sour chicken is basically chicken fingers (more nugget-sized, but my kids were happy). The garlic chicken wings are just like Kowloon’s Saugus Wings.

If you’re craving New England–style Chinese food, this is the closest you’ll get.“

“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 was my GO-TO spot whenever my baby was in the Children's Hospital. The noodle dishes were so good and tasted all very authentic. I ate something different on every visit and none of them were a miss, to include their rice dishes.

The service was what I'd expect from an Asian restaurant, a little bit distant. I'm sure its not quite to the American expectations, but it still gets the job done.“

“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.“

“This is one of the most positive experiences I've had at Panda Express in a while. The food was fresh. They were cooking it fresh and they were moving quickly, and taking orders quickly. The restaurant was clean so it was a great experience, and again the food was fresh and that's why I was there.“
