27 Best Chinese Restaurants near University Place

“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 coming here for years and the food is awesome!“

“Food was delicious & spicy. Ordered Mongolian Beef, Happy Family & Mapo Tofu (very spicy). I was surprised that NO white rice came with the entrees. Ordering thru Ubereats went smooth. I recommend this place. I look forward to trying other foods on the menu.“

“Wonderful service and the food is very tasty.“

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

“This is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots to grab a bite with friends. We love the service and the food is amazing! The portions are large, and great for the price point. The employee greeted us with a friendly smile and had some great recommendations for us.“

“The fried ribs are FABULOUS. The food has wonderful favor!!! The food was so good I tipped the cook too😜“

“This is always a great night. My wife and I often eat here on date night. The staff are really good about not bothering you while you eat and don't make you feel rushed. We will continue this stop in our date night rotation. You gotta try the egg foo young it's good.“

“I walked in less than 10 minutes to close and was met with a smiling friendly face, hot, well covered food and GREAT customer service. He even gave me EXTRA walnut shrimp in a side container!! I love with place and will continue to go back!“

“One of the best Asian restaurants in Tacoma. I just had the combination (Souper) large size Pho and it was delicious. The broth is really good with a generous portion of high quality beef and meatballs. Even the bean sprouts and basil were crunchy and fresh. This place also serves Chinese and Thai (common in the Northwest) food but I didn't try it.“

“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!“

“Under-rated! Most of the poor stars come from the delivery side. The food here is still authentic and delicious. The ladies that work here are also very kind and patient. Also, the prices are unbeatable... ($11.99 average)This restaurant needs more love!“

“We've been coming here over 20 years and it is still the best teriyaki around! I think it has changed hands or names a few times but it has always provided the best spicy chicken teriyaki I've ever had.

If you don't like it, you haven't tried it. Everything is awesome but highly recommend the spicy chicken special! Add gyoza or make it combination fried rice to change it up. No matter what, you won't be disappointed!“

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

“Probably the best chicken pho I've had in Washington state. The soup base tasted like legit homemade stock. Chicken and toppings tasted fresh.
My partner got the teriyaki/orange chicken. It wasn't the best but it was still a good plate of food with salad, too. I'd go back.“

“Do not know what some people are talking about, we had the Hot and Sour soup was the best we've had in many years then the Chinese peppered Pork Chops. OMG the best I've had in 26 years. This place is inviting and the food is great.“

“For what it is, this is a pretty good little place, nice and convenient, prices are pretty low and the food is mostly good. The batter on all the various chicken entrees could be fried a little longer, it is usually on the soggy side, but again this is a cheap eating kind of place, and for what you pay it aint too bad. The chicken chow mein and the mongolian beef are the 2 standouts for me. I got there often when I'm shopping or dont feel like driving far or spending alot on dinner. I would rate it slightly below safeway chinese, I give it 4 stars because it is good for what it is as I've said, a cheap decent place to get a quick bite.“

“Amazing service! Very kind staff! Went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our food and experience. Ive grown up with korean chinese food all my life since Im amerasian and their jajangmyun and sweet and sour pork is my favorite!! Definitely give this place a try, you wont regret it!!“

“food was made quickly and delicious. large portions“

“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. ??“

“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.“

“This is the best Teriyaki restaurant in the state. I drive from Lacey WA. just to get it. I always get spicy chicken number 4. For the money the portions are amazing compared to what other restaurants will give you. Yes the building is not very nice and its cramped in the restaurant but the food is SO worth it.“

“My wife went in for a 2go of our dinner tonight. It was by the far the BEST sushi and teryiaki ! The noodled from the yakisobi was also by the far the best they tasted the most real then other places. We will be eating here alot.
Thanks so much!!“

“The best dumplings! Will be back again…. A LOT!“

“This place gave me the best experience of Korean-style Chinese food in the U.S. I’m originally from South Korea and lived in New York for the past four years, so I was really concerned about finding good food after moving to the Puget Sound area. New York is such a food paradise, especially for people from all over the world.

But now, I’m so happy I found this place 🥲 The food here was absolutely better than anything I had in Flushing or K-Town in NYC. I really wanted to eat Jjajangmyeon, and I’m so glad I didn’t let the older reviews stop me — they almost pushed me to try a different restaurant. The new owner just took over a month ago, and you can really taste the difference. Thank you so much for the amazing food!“

“I'm really glad this Panda Express is so close to home—it’s super convenient when I’m craving something quick and tasty. The portion sizes are generous, and the food has always been fresh and flavorful every time I’ve visited. The staff is consistently friendly, and the person who rang me up on my last visit was especially kind and welcoming. It’s little things like that that make a difference. Out of all the Panda Express locations I’ve been to, this one definitely stands out as one of the best.“
