44 Best Chinese Restaurants near Spanaway

“I can’t believe I’ve never stopped here before, this place serves some of the best sushi I’ve had in a while. Meals are a very reasonable price, most being around $15 or less. The two servers we had were very sweet, me and my friends will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“The whole team working tonight was so great. I was At a different location (the meridian location) and they said they couldn’t cook my teriyaki chicken extra, which has never happened to me before. Let alone the manager yelling down the line about how they just absolutely cannot cook any chicken extra. Whatever. So I called this location and asked them and they didn’t even hesitate when I asked. So I drive the 20 minutes to this location for some chicken and broccoli. I walk In and everyone working was helpful and kind and sweet. The gal working the line was very thorough when I was explaining how cooked Id like the chicken to be. Ana, the cashier, literally saved my evening. She asked me two more times after the gal working the line asked once if the meat was cooked to my liking. And they were not asking in an annoyed way, it was in a genuine “we care”, solid hospitality kind of way. I will recommend this location to anyone who brings up Panda Express and reiterate this evening to them because I’m just so grateful for the staff that was there tonight.
Ps, I think They should be able to receive tips btw, because they deserve them.“

“Wonderful service and the food is very tasty.“

“Bottom line up front: do recommend, and will return.
First time eating here as a family, we were greeted immediately by our waiter Sean, and he pointed us to a table to sit.
He brought us tea and waters, and I was very patient as we looked over the menu, which they have a pretty large menu...
12 pot stickers came with the order, the while family liked their flavor, and I thought they were a good value for the price compared to other places in the area.
We were impressed with the hearty braised beef noodle soup and the orange chicken, highly recommend.
Sean warned us that the Szechuan beef and the Mongolian beef were very similar, and made a good suggestion of another dish, but we assured him we wanted to try both of them. He was right, and I would agree you shouldn't order those two side-by-side. The spicy chicken was a soup, and it was good, but we probably wouldn't order it again.
Atmosphere got knocked down a point because the booths and bathroom is in need of deep cleaning or replacement/remodel.
Everyone in the family is looking forward to a return visit to try some of the other items on the menu.“

“The food? Straight fire. Everything came out fresh, hot, and seasoned right. You can tell they care about what they’re serving. The people there are solid too. Customer service on point, respectful, fast, and they actually pay attention. The atmosphere feels good. Chill, comfortable, somewhere you can really sit and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. Easy 5 stars across the board. This my number one spot, for real. If you haven’t been yet, you missing out. The food is bomb every single time.“

“Delicious food . Large portions. Fast pickup. I will definitely get more orders.“

“This restaurant is in Tacoma's middle class area on Pacific Ave. We were a little apprehensive because of the aesthetics, but as we went in, a nice Lady leaving told us they had great food. They cleaned up a window table for us. Then brought us a I-pad to order, they want you to scan in there menu, I declined and received the I-pad. We saw reviews commenting on there Peking Duck and Chow fun Beef. We went for the Duck, Pork Hot & Sour Soup, House Special Fried Rice has shrimp and pork, the fresh Egg Rolls stuffed full of Shrimp were unbeatable. The Duck came with white flat pastry rolls with a nice tangy sauce and veggies, very good. Everything was cooked perfectly with special authentic style and taste. The Jasmine tea was wonderful. Forget the Color choices, we will be coming back for the five star food and service. Have fun and Enjoy. Pat & Therese“

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

“Very helpful friendly and quick service. Delicious food“

“2 men after a very rainy 5 mile beach hike found this a great experience!
It was a perfect temperature to warm us up. Food was amazing, their daily chicken teriyaki special, gyoza and Won Ton Soup was perfect. The woman server was extraordinary. We will be back.“

“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“

“I was looking for a quick and affordable food spot nearby as my boyfriend and I were waiting for our groomer to get our dogs ready for a wedding. I definitely shouldn't have thought jajangmyeon as my first option but I was also super hungry and it was the cheapest thing on the menu, while I was also thinking it wouldn't take that long. Plus they were open early which was great as we were in the area around 10am! When we arrived, there was a older gentleman who greeted us then looked like he was prepping for the day. He can speak Korean and English just fine too. Once we were ready, we placed an order of jajangmyeon and egg rolls and he brought us out banchan. I did ask for more daikon but he seemed to have forgotten or maybe left as his daughter was there delivering food, tea and taking orders. She was a lot more attentive, she would check in on customers and was very friendly! Also it turns out that my boyfriend's friend who he has known since high school was that female employee, so for those saying the owners have changed, they have not.

There is plenty of seating at this food court as well as other options from sushi, Korean food and and this spot that serves Korean-Chinese food. The lighting here is a bit dark but it is light enough to take different photos. It's not too cold nor hot either. You can also leave your plates, utensils and trash on the table and someone will come get it.

The jajangmyeon was really good, I was surprised as I feel like there aren't too many places that have good jajangmyeon in Lakewood but I can say it is way better than the other places that serve in the area. I usually don't scoop up the sauce but it was actually really good. They offer kimchi, onion and daikon for their side dishes which I think is perfectly fine. They do offer refills and when I asked for more daikon, the kind female employee even gave me extra vinegar. My boyfriend said the egg roll was pretty good too. We look forward to coming back!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Good Cambodian comfort food“

“My family has been enjoying this restaurant for many years, both dine in and take out. We have never been disappointed. The beef in the broccoli beef is always tender and they put pineapple chunks and green peppers in their sweet n sour pork.“

“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!“

“Best Pho food PQ, thank you.
Soup was Right on with flavor, spice,meat, noodles, hit the spot tonight. Been craving your food all day!
My mom loved her chicken, garlic stir fry and the rice was cooked just how she likes it.
You want good Pho food trust me I WILL NOT BE GETTING PHO FOOD ANYWHERE BUT HERE!
I tried three other pho restaurants but this one takes a ORCAR first up.“

“Great food, good service! Very welcoming and pleasant atmosphere.

Poke bowl was ginormous, Love the menu for it as well. You pick your own toppings and type of raw fish.

Sweet and sour chicken was delicious and not overcooked where the chicken can be tough to chew. Good job, Chef!“

“Harvest will be reopen on Jun 3rd.“

“Truly one of the best dining experiences I have had in the area. The interior decor is stylish yet comfortable, great for photos and conversation. Staff members are polite, knowledgeable about menu items, and quick to refill our drinks. All our meals came hot and perfectly seasoned. Dessert was an unexpected highlight, rich and not overly sweet. The pricing is reasonable for such high‑standard food. I cannot wait to revisit and try more menu options in the near future.“

“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!!“

“Their services amazing but their food is even better. This is the best Asian food in the city. I tried the new kimchi soup today it is so amazing oh my God I couldn't hardly stop eating it. This is a real Asian restaurant that I would recommend to anyone for any of their dishes I love their yakisoba also“

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

“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.“

“great food and friendly service“

“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.“

“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. ??“

“great food, friendly atmosphere reasonable price“

“Love this place great food fast service“

“Good Cambodian comfort food“

“. We went there last night and it was great. The service was spectacular. We had fish and chips and they were nice and hot. The fish was lightly breaded and the fries were great and you get a ton of them. Before we went there we stopped at the snack bar and for two of us to each have a hot dog and a bowl of soup it would have cost us $46. It wasn't much more to go to the Tatoosh. Ahmed was our waiter and he was great. He was attentive but wasn't hanging over your shoulder all the time. Overall it was a great experience.“

“Love this place, taste, portion sizes, ladies at the counter are all amazing. I do have an issue with my shrimp fried rice I ordered last night. Again, container full of yummy rice but only 3 shrimp placed on top. This is not shrimp fried rice, this is rice with a garnishment. It was a let down for sure and luckily doesn't happen often.“

“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.“

“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've been coming here on and off for years and enjoy it. The food tastes good, the lady that runs the front is super sweet, and I've always had portions big enough that a plate of chicken teriyaki is enough for two meals for me. The beef in the broccoli beef is so soft that I hardly need to chew it.“

“Easily one of the best teriyaki spots I’ve tried in Washington. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were generous. I especially loved that the teriyaki sauce was served warm — it’s a small detail, but it really elevated the whole meal.

The beef dish was amazing and probably my favorite. Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can tell they really care about the quality of the food.

On top of that, the staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back!“

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

“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.“

“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.“
