45 Best Chinese Restaurants near Spanaway

“New owners are really nice and food is great.“

“This restaurant has the best fried chicken wings I tasted! They have unique flavor such as spicy honey garlic and lemon honey garlic sauce. As far as I know the spicy honey garlic is home made at the store. So freaking delicious. Only thing that is bad is the wait times for getting the delicious food.“

“To rate any less would be unacceptable. The food, the people, the atmosphere. To figure out where to start is very difficult. Upon entering this establishment I was immediately met by a positive host exuding happy vibes. The wait for my food was not long. In most cases my first concern would have been the quality. This concern was met by beautiful dishes of well placed food cooked at the right temperatures and without the heavy flare and over sauced noodles I have come to expect from most of these establishments. The host was not hovering but kept kind anytime interactions sparked. He left me in peace to enjoy my meal. To say that this restaurant is anything short of a experience would be greatly wronged. If a higher rating were possible I would happily give it.
But for now I give you this. If you wish to enjoy beautifully cooked food, lovely rolled sushi and hot sake heated to perfect temperature. Please come here and enjoy it for your self. Share a smile with the host and enjoy a experience. I will surely be coming back very soon to see what all this establishment has to offer.
Sincerely
A rainy day.“

“Wonderful service and the food is very tasty.“

“Stopped by today, Monday March 16, 2026 the restaurant was no more. No pictures on the windows or doors . . . peeking through the window saw only boxes and a ladder. The website looked active. Tried another Chinese restaurant down the road, won't be going back.“

“Got a family #1 order thinking partner and I could put it away but I am stuffed unable to move and still have leftovers to feed us lunch + dinner tomorrow 😋 so delicious. The almond chicken was impressively crispy and the beef bulgogi smelled and tasted and smelled incredible“

“Food was absolutely yummy. Easy to order. Efficient service“

“there food is absolutely delicious hands down best place around!“

“Been coming here for some time and have had a positive experience every time.
Enrique always has a smile and a positive Attitude.
Good luck on finding a whole meal for $10 anywhere let alone finding one that taste Good and is so filling . Big portions .
I got the lunch special Chicken beef/ teriyaki
It came with a nice portion of rice and fresh salad. My wife ordered the chicken and gyoza meal that was delicious!
They have only raised their prices One time that I am aware of in the last few years even thru covid and it was not extreme like most of the other restaurants.
I would say i would have raised them more myself.
I fed my wife and myself for $25
Good luck i'm finding that anywhere“

“Absolutely delicious and plentiful portions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Quick serve Chinese restaurant, located inside of the SAARS marketplace.

This place has better fried rice than panda express, you can quote me on that and you should come try it cause I’m definitely right

Tasty little spot I will be back, I also have a second location inside of the saars in Tukwila“

“This is inside Paldo Market in Lakewood on South Tacoma Way in the food court section. The food has always been very good here. However, prices may seem a little high due increases in food cost, labor, rent, business taxes.
I enjoy (not pictured) spicy fried chicken wings ($24 + tax). Their spicy seafood noodle soup is a good choice also. This is a place to enjoy a good lunch.“

“very good food and selectionsfriendly service highly reccomend“

“They need to do something about the flies. I don’t like trying to eat my dinner inside a restaurant fighting off flies. Years ago I didn’t have to pay for tea it came with your meal free. The wonton soup has no vegetables except onions. It has gone downhill over the years and it is very disappointing because they used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant. The cost has gone way up and the quality has gone way down for the amount you get!“

“By all means my fiancé and i had a lovely night for dinner here. Its comfortable and charming in its quaint way with very good food and a friendly lady/waitress at the counter. Week-night eat-in is perfect for a quiet dinner night that doesn't break the bank for 2 or 3 to eat. Very happy overall.

For the sake of mentioning it, it looks like the majority of the lesser reviews for this place are doordash takeouts that probably spent too much time traveling in the box to be good on arrival, or thoroughly unfortunate one-offs.“

“This is the first time I came here. Got the General Taos Chicken with Vegetable Fried Rice, Chicken Lo Mein and an order of Crab Rangoons. The food was great, the only problem I saw was how much chicken was in the Chicken Lo Mein dish. There were maybe 8 pieces of chicken in it. But the portion sizes were good for the price and the lady who served us was friendly and the order was ready when I arrived. Overall not a bad experience here.“

“The food and service is Gold star perfect! Food is always delicious, and our service has always been first class. Have driven 85 miles one way for last 2 years to have our anniversary dinner there. And it's always excellent!“

“By far the best food in that entire mall. We got the three item combo, it was $14 for enough food to fill two ravenous bellies. Very generous portions, AMAZING flavor, and the woman working the counter was so sweet. Will definitely be returning.“

“This is a review from 20 years ago when me and my dad were at Ft. Lewis. This Chicken Bowl spot was the absolute best I ever had and the Korean grandma was an absolute sweetheart tried to teach me a little bit Korean as well.

The most memorable part of this place was the Teriyaki sauce. It was sweet, but not teeth aching, it was savory with hoisin, umami fermented flavor, and it wasn’t so bold and rich that overwhelmed the grilled chicken and rice combo.

It is a core memory for me and will never forget the taste of it until I die. My only regret is not buying a gallon of the stuff from them as a kid lol!!“

“My 82 really likes Panda, and with the changing times, it is the closest thing to a sit-down Chinese food we have. The main location Operator or his second is always there, talking with the patrons, cleaning the dining room, and making sure his staff is on point. With their high volume of to-go orders, drive through, and dine-in the food is always fresh, hot and taste great!!“

“Been to this place a couple times and I'm always impressed between the good food, fast service and generous portions! The seafood is always cooked perfectly tender and the flavors are savory. The chefs are extremely talented! We ordered the Ui Myron, which is the noodle dish, and the palbochae. Would definitely recommend and will be back!“

“Good Cambodian comfort food“

“I have been eating here since the late 90’s. Their Menu has basically been the same. The Sesame Chicken portion has changed, as different owners have taken over the business, but the flavor hasn’t! (You still get the sweet little crystallized chunks in the corner of the to-go plate. IYKYK) Their Garlic Chicken Wings are also a Classic, & are a must, with their Homemade Sweet & Sour Sauce. ??“

“Really good food, haven't tried the sushi yet but tonight we tried the sweet & sour pork & cashew chicken, both were awesome. They have their own house sweet & sour sauce that reminds me of the sauce I would get in Vancouver's china town as a kid.“

“It was my first time here and the Pho did not disappoint! It was really delicious, and the way it was packaged for to-go was great! The only thing that was concerning was the signs on the drive-thru. Sounds like the owner has gone through some rough times with customers. Despite this, it was great!“

“Bahn Mi was very good, lots of meat and veggies & not dry like other places. The iced coffee was also good, and the prices are more than fair. The lady at the counter was lovely, my food was ready very fast. Also the bathroom was super clean.“

“We submitted a very large group order on door dash for this restaurant, and they were very efficient and able to execute 30+ orders within an hour for pickup. The food is delicious and the portions are absolutely massive. Thank you so much happy teriyaki for feeding our group for lunch, what a great restaurant and group of people!!“

“For starters, the person that was our cashier and server was very observant and polite. Our food came out fresh and hot, the taste and texture were very nice, but the portion sizes!? Very generous! This was our first visit, but we'll be back!!“

“Harvest will be reopen on Jun 3rd.“

“I had been coming here for years with my family, and it is a very cozy spot for some delicious and authentic Korean food. The tteokbboki is probably some of the best I had in Lakewood and the yakisoba was so good I ate the whole plate. I came on the last day before the owner was going to close the restaurant, and it was a good meal. Sad to see samwon go though 🥹“

“The definition of a mom & pop shop that cares about what they do. Food is consistently great. I always order take out and the dishes are still always well-prepared and presented, quick service, etc. If you’re in the area and haven’t tried it then you’re robbing yourself.“

“great food, friendly atmosphere reasonable price“

“Good Cambodian comfort food“

“great food and friendly service“

“Love this place great food fast service“

“I have been coming here for years and the food is awesome!“

“The food here is amazing, such an almost hidden gem. Owner at the front is very nice and whips up the food so fast. 15 minutes and I'm eating more than I can usually handle but its oh so yummy. Kids had the Pho and 10/10 would recommend; we had chicken teriyaki and have had some of the other teriyakis and they are all good 🤤🤤“

“A gem in the middle of a strip mall. We stoped in spontaneously after shopping and were happy to see vegetarian options. Their tofu teriyaki dish was generously portioned and very tasty! As was the tofu fried rice dish. Also very flavorful and plentiful. The egg soup and hot tea were welcome on a cold rainy day. Atmosphere was welcoming. Clean tables and surroundings, and friendly service. Will come back!“

“We had a wonderful time. Got seated right away at table with a great view. I couldn't decide what to eat but servers were patient and pleasant and checked on us frequently. The atmosphere was very nice. Food was exceptional and for the quality and quantity the bill was far less than anticipated for 4 of us. We'll definitely be returning and booking through OpenTable.“

“The food is good, BUT in that past year they have become SOoooo EXPENSIVE and its NOT worth the money any longer. The portions used to be larger and now they barely fill their boxes. Not going back because of those reasons. They need to drop the prices again and add more food to boxes again.“

“This place is hands down one of the best teriyaki spots I’ve ever been to. The chicken is always juicy, tender, and perfectly glazed with that sweet-and-savory sauce that hits every time. The portions are generous, the rice is fluffy, the salad is fresh with just the right amount of crunch.“

“I wasn't sure how they were going to be when I first saw them coming to Tacoma Mall after getting bad reviews from other locations. But then as I saw people lining up more, I eventually tried them myself and the 3 times I've eaten there so far, there's been no problem. Food was very good, prices decent.“

“🍲 Pho Ever 🫶 1st time here and it’s was Chill and cool place to eat.“

“Okay Teryaki, but too much sauce on my teriyaki,sauce is a bit too strong and way too sweet,and salad sauce container on top of the food ,kinda unsanitary :/ , this place use to be better, so I may come back next year to see if any improvement.“
