17 Best Chinese Restaurants in Columbus

“To the Owners of Mandarin Cafe. My name is John Brock and I was at your restaurant yesterday. I pick up a to go order and I lost my wallet and your restaurant was the last place I used it. I am hoping you may have found it. I was sitting in the chairs at the check out. I know you don't reopen until Tuesday but this is so important to me. Could someone please contact me? Thank you so much! This was the email that I sent Mandarin Cafe. The owner, on her day off got up and went to the restaurant and looked for my wallet and called me to let me know that she looked inside and outside and was unable to locate wallet. She told me that she would be praying for me to locate my wallet. She said you should look again before reporting wallet lost. To make a long story short, I went back to where I had already looked. I found it where it should not have been. Albert Einstein said, "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

“Tasty food, clean & friendly staff“

“My new favorite Chinese spot!!!!!!!!! #DollaScoops“

“Just moved to Columbus and I needed my buffet/hibachi fill. Found this place a few miles from me and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh, large selection, spacious and not cramped. Sushi was fresh , the other buffet items were as well. Parking is going to be packed to park up front but don’t let it fool you, there’s plenty of seating inside.“

“Great food, great service“

“The crab Rangoon and chow mein are really good. Fried rice was ok. Customer service is not the best. Employees taking the orders are not patient and a bit rude. However, the young man usually at the counter is polite. Quick service and hot food. After the reviews I wish I’d checked the receipt against the menu prices because the total went from $52 to $69 as we waited to pay.“

“The definition of a hole in the wall old school restaurant. But the employees are always nice and the food is always very large portions and delicious!!! My favorite Asian restaurant in Columbus. Love supporting the smaller business and the very nice people working there !“

“Tried it for the first time last nigh I must say very light and delicious. I had the Bourbon chicken didn’t taste like authentic bourbon sauce, but love there sauce. Keep the Sams club egg rolls!!!“

“Fast, convenient, and tasty. My family have been going to this place for close to 10 years now and it has been great most of the time. Sure there are days where it has not been as good, but most places I frequent long enough have had a off day here or there. Definitely more of a take out restaurant, though, as the eating area is not the most inviting. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.Vegetarian options: Has a section of vegetarian options, some of which are spicy.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten friendly options!“

“Ordered the Egg foo young it is outstanding.. got the house special. It was cooked well three patties brimming with vegetables and shrimp, chicken & the gravy was spot on! Go get you some. I also changed the white rice to vegetable fried rice it is very good. Egg rolls were crispy & hot! Service was speedy. accurate and courteous.I'll definitely will be going back.Parking: Warm Springs Rd next to Zeb's. Parking lot is easily accessible.“

“Went with some friends on Thursday August 4th for my first time. Ordered the Habachi Chicken with fried rice and a chicken egg roll. The Habachi chicken had a very good flavor. Loved the broccoli and zucchini in it. The fried rice was yellow rice. It reminded me more of Saffron rice than fried rice. The egg roll was vegetable not chicken and taste was okay. They do not have a drink machine. You get a bottled drink out of the cooler. I did not particularly care for that. Got an order of fried dumplings for the table while they good they were not the dumplings I am used to. These dumplings had bbq pork it tasted like inside. My friends really enjoyed their food. It felt more like a restaurant setup for take out than eating in. Would order from them again but probably as take out.“
