16 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.“

“Thank you for such a great lunch! The service was efficient, helpful, and kind. Our food was better than we expected and the portions are generous. The fried rice is perfect, the Szechuan beef was just the right level of heat, and the orange chicken was exactly what my son was craving. The quality and flavor was so good and it was just under $20 for lunch for 2 people.
The restaurant looks so unassuming from outside, but that’s where they hide the magic. Their lunch specials can’t be beat.“

“Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum“

“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.“

“I have been eating here for almost 25 years. Everytime is always great! Hands down the best Chinese food in Roanoke!! I have moved away but every time I visit I have to eat here! If you have not tried it you should! I promise it will become your favorite as well!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Takeout place, so you dont go here for atmosphere, but the food is hot, fast, and fresh, AND a little less expensive than other similar places. Just shows sometimes you get better than what you paid. It's uncommon, but these guys are good!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you're looking for great Chinese fast food, this is the place! Reasonable prices and an extensive menu. They use the real gas-fired Woks, too. Sit-down restaurant ambience is clean, but not inviting. Call in your order and pick it up to take home. A little salty, but yummy...and it won't break the bank.“

“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“
