17 Best Chinese Restaurants near Salem

“My family has always loved this restaurant. Salem Szechuan has been consistent over the years. recommend: hot and sour soup 👌 chicken with garlic sauce 😋“

“As a long-time Roanoke resident and local Realtor, I stopped by this small Chinese spot after a busy day to grab my favorite takeout — Mei Fun with two egg rolls and a Sprite. It has all the charm you’d expect from a cozy, “mom-and-pop,” hole-in-the-wall restaurant — but what really stood out was the respectful service and reasonable wait for fresh, hot food. While the flavor was decent, the staff’s attention to detail made the experience memorable. They even double-checked my order, adding chopsticks and napkins without me having to ask — a simple touch that shows they care about quality. If you’re in the Roanoke area and craving a quick, no-fuss takeout spot with friendly service, this little gem is worth a visit!“

“Best Chinese food in the area! Friendly and clean.“

“Absolutely fantastic! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, and the service was fast and friendly. The fried rice and orange chicken were some of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely my new go-to Chinese spot“

“Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum“

“The only Chinese restaurant I prefer to eat at in Roanoke. I like their yellow fried rice better than the typical fried rice found at other places soaked in soy sauce, grease, or cooked too long. Their food is always consistent and tastes fresher.“

“My husband and I eat here at least once per week for several years and are never disappointed. Consistently the best Chinese anywhere. The hostesses, servers/wait staff, and just everyone are polite, friendly, efficient.“

“Beef Nigimaki and Orange peel Shrimp were excellent and so was the service. Thanks Shirley“

“Hadn't had China Lite in years, but had a craving for Chinese food on my lunch break so I ordered it and everything was so fresh and delicious. China Lite is one of the only places that doesn’t put egg in their fried rice. The sweet and sour chicken was fresh and delicious.“

“Good food if you go during the day for lunch. Don't go for dinner. They sell out of food early and won't put anymore out even when they are still open. Good lunch spot. Don't count on going for dinner and them actually having food to sell. Don't waste your time going for dinner. Drove out of my way bc my son loves this place. Got there at 5 and half the food was out, i asked if they could make some of the items that was empty they said no. They looked closed and I felt like I was bothering them. Lunch ok, dinner no.“

“We like to get our fix on good Chinese food at Dragon China. I like their shrimp curry with onions and put it on some of their great fried rice. My son loves the orange chicken. My wife likes the General Tso’s chicken and we all like their mixed vegetables. Their egg rolls are delicious. I like their hot and sour soup and my wife enjoys their wonton soup. We usually try to get enough for dinner and for lunch the next day. The restaurant is nice on the inside and the service is top notch. I recommend them - I just wish they were on Door Dash. That is the reason for my 4 stars and not the quality of food. Get on the door dash network so I can give you five stars!“

“Why is it saying temporarily closed,? This was my favorite place to eat, what's going on, it's the only place that has the best shrimp egg rolls, hell best everything, every time I get food just for me I eat it for 3 days from how much I get in the med size portions, love it rewarmed on micro makes it taste even better, please reopen soon need some good Chinese food everyone else can't cook like you guys.“

“Best Chinese around I have ate at a lot of different restaurants this is the best. Everything on bars is fresh it has craw fish, crab legs .seven bars. Oh my I got to go again.“

“Great place to eat a buffet of Chinese and it's very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend anyone to eat here and you will not be disappointed I've eaten here several times and I'll come back very soon it's definitely worth the 45 min to hour drive. 😋😊👍

Parking: Just regular park yourself and walk-in“

“Always Wonderful“

“we absolutely love Taste of Asia. we eat there often. any time someone comes into town and doesn't know what they want, we go here. Evelyn is so amazing and really works hard to make the place what it is. She will happily go work in the kitchen or clean tables and that is the kind of owner every business needs. some times are slower than others but the food never disappoints. the Evelyn roll is absolutely amazing and I obsess over the Drunken Noodles.“

“Wonderful hot soup, egg rolls and vegetables. Best value in Roanoke“
