50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Tampa

“If you enjoy spicy, authentic Chinese cuisine, this is the place to go.
While the service could be better, the food is absolutely fantastic.
I recently visited after a friend recommended it, and we’ve already been back a couple of times. I love their skewers,回鍋肉and麻婆豆腐. It reminded me of my mom’s cooking and made me realize how much I missed it!

The price of the menu is little higher than other Chinese restaurants.“

“Was my first time ...the best Chinese food I have ever had ..Very large portions to share ..They have a desert cart that comes around...will definitely be back with the family! 5 stars from me for sure!“

“We went for dinner tonight on Mother's Day based on Google Reviews. The food was a beautiful, fresh, and DELICIOUS! The owner came out to see how everything was and gave us a little background story & family history (which I always love). Super friendly, family oriented. DELICIOUS! Try it!! Tell your friends. Definitely a hidden gem 💎“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at one of Tampa's best restaurants, and I can confidently say it was a top-notch experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere from the hostess, Alexis set the tone for what would be an unforgettable evening. A special shoutout to GM Jeremy, whose leadership is clearly reflected in the seamless service and impeccable attention to detail. He made sure every member of my party was treated like royalty and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect along with our selections of wine! Our server Bailey, was attentive, professional, and incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. The bartender, Gabi offered advice on what cocktails to try and they were phenomenal. Best bartender ever! My daughter's roommates ordered the Summertime Silk and Aperol Sunshine while I tried the Florida Summer Martini. All were fantastic! Bailey's knowledge of the menu and her suggestions were spot on. Her professionalism and friendly personality made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Now let's talk about the dishes we tried, family style is the way to go. The flavor and presentation is just impeccable. We got the tiger shrimp, mala chicken, truffle sui mai, fried rice, egg plant, brussel sprouts! Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Whether you're a local or just visiting Tampa, this is a place you need to try. The combination of exquisite food, exceptional service, and a welcoming ambiance makes this restaurant a must-visit. Hands down, this is one of the best dining spots in Tampa, and I can't wait to return in February or try the one opening soon in Hyde Park!“

“Friendly staff and delicious and hot food! We moved from dallas and are new to the area - our first search for Chinese Takeout was such a hit that we don’t have to look any further!! What’s better - The woman at the counter even gave a recommendation so that we’d enjoy our food even more! She is so nice and again the food was so hot! We loved it! We sat in the restaurant to eat - there’s 4 tables an inside to enjoy your food on!“

“This place is 15 minutes away. I have to overcome four places to get there totally worth it. They are wonderful people. Wonderful food absolutely worth the drive. My boyfriend could not get enough of the egg drop soup you guys rock thank you“

“Ordered to-go from Liang’s Bistro pretty much by accident. I was in the area and wanted Asian to go but not Chinese or Ramen or Sushi. Limits the options, yes. Went here hoping it was more than a typical Chinese takeout shop. It turned out to be a bistro, as it is called, with a pretty and warm interior, table-side service and an impressive wine storage along one wall. The restaurant features an open kitchen with a large but not overwhelming menu. I chose yellow curry chicken, Thai basil with tofu and a pad Thai dish as well as shrimp lettuce wraps. Everything was delicious even though it was an hour before I made it home for us to eat dinner. What I like best is they do a little of everything - Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and even noodles and poke without offering so many of each kind that you know it’s going to be awful. The manager took great care of me, mentioning that this is their second location after a long stint in Tampa and that the business is owned by a Chinese individual who is adamant about serving Asian food, rather than just his country’s dishes. I liked it and look forward to taking my family and friends. Feels comfortable and is affordable. I spent $62 to feed four people and we have leftovers in the fridge.“

“Undoubtedly the best customer service experience I’ve ever had and massive thank you to Crystal! My best friend and I ordered some food for pickup after the new Captain America movie and when we got back to our apartment we realized they messed up our order. They gave me the wrong side and for my friend they gave us the wrong item entirely but I called I spoke to Crystal who was a breath of fresh air when it comes to modern managers. She not only was genuine with her apology but she personally took responsibility for the mistake and made sure to correct it. She issued a refund to us for the order annd invited us to come in the next day to pick up our correct order completely free of charge. I will absolutely be coming back and I hope Crystal gets some internal praise for this since she went above and beyond to ensure we got the meal we ordered!“

“Just the atmosphere is so nice. Been 2 times and got boba and a dinner combination platter of general tso's chicken and vegetable chow mein.(And there to go boxes are not foam they use the plastic ones that you can reuse) If you like general tso's chicken spicy the way it's supposed to be it's amazing and it's so fresh and good that I would recommend to anybody in the area or out of the area if you want Chinese food go to this place because you will really like it especially for the boba is made really good instead of using fresh fruit though they used fruit jam which is like a puree but it's really good and I think that if you like Chinese food this place is one of the freshest places that I've been in a long time. Except for Kobe's of course lmfao.“

“Best Chinese food I’ve had in a while just like back home (Boston). Staff is friendly food is fresh never disappointed.“

“5 Stars! We drive from Valrico, Fl just eat here. Food is great and staff is friendly. Please open a Brandon/Valrico location!!!“

“Great Chinese style noodle place, the dishes are authentic, great taste, and very reasonably priced. The restaurant also presents a nice warm vibe, decorations are nice and the menu is well made, overall recommended! Will come back for more!“

“I'm new to the area, and for some reason, all the other Chinese restaurants in this area seem to be closed on Sunday except for this one. So, since this was the only takeout restaurant available when I first moved in, and I was craving Chinese at the time, they now have me as a repeat customer. If you want a restaurant with full week availability, this is the one.

The food is typical Chinese take-out. It's good. One unique thing though that I will say is their Singapore Mai Fun here is a lot spicier than anywhere else I've ever gotten it. Personally, I love it, but if you can't handle spicy foods, you were forewarned, theirs is very spicy. If you do like spicy, I highly recommend it! Overall, I definitely recommend this place.“

“Always a great meal, everyone that visits us from out of town we bring here and they love it also. Thank you guys for all that you do.“

“Giving my review as I'm eating it. Visiting in the area and took a chance. Happy we did, taste like old school Chinese food from back in the day. Ordered on door dash, food came hot and a large amount. Smelled amazing, shrimp was clean. You just have to call if you want to make any changes to the order (no onions etc) but they were nice over the phone also. This experience gets ***** 5 stars“

“I'm completely satisfied every time I eat here. The food is always cooked to perfection. There fast and very friendly. I think it's the perfect place to get your next meal. Also, I have to say, everything I've tried so far has been amazing in taste and quality!“

“I can imagine whoever posted that happy birthday ?? video was just trolling but anyways ???? but anyways happy belated birthday lol anyways the food here is great NY style Chinese food I believe there originally from Queens New York great food recommend to anyone.

“very nice food! staff kind and will kindly put fortune cookies in your bag. but i put four stars for “atmosphere” because it is a little under cared for. unclean floors, only a couple din in tables. but overall five stars. thank you amazing china wok team for your great food and service!“

“This is the best family run Chinese restaurant in the entire area. Tell Peter hello 👋 from me when you go!“

“I just moved to this side of town a few weeks prior to the day that I went in there I was shopping at stores that were in the same Plaza I was in the mood to get some soup the place was pretty crowded when I went there I got wonton an egg drop soup mix together it was really good I was talking to the lady that was in there waiting for her food she's from New York as well as I am and she said that that what's the closest thing to New York Chinese food since she's left the place is super clean everybody's really nice the prices are really good it smells good when you walk in there I will definitely be going back there if you've never been there before you need to go place is really good I'm looking forward to trying other things“

“Classic American Chinese 10/10I always order on their app and pick it up at the counter and I'm always satisfiedRangoon ratings are separate ratings category not included here, it's a classic rangoon offering but nothing advanced in that regard.“

“I had wanted to try this place for a while. We stopped by kinda close to closing after a long day, not knowing if they closed the kitchen or not. When we walked in man taking orders was very nice. Was done in 5 min, Food turned out DELICIOUS and was scorching hot even after driving it home, it was exactly what i was craving. Portion sizes were amazing. I could split my veggie lo mein into 3 meals And my boyfriends sesame chicken dinner combo into 2 meals. Def come here

Vegetarian options: My veggie lo-mein was great. Not sure if they use the same pans and stuff for meat and what not, i dont mind that tho, some people may“

“Just celebrated a friend's birthday at Grand Fortune and was blown away by the improvements! Last time I visited was right after they opened, and it wasn’t up to par. But they've clearly stepped up their game – every one of the 12 dishes we ordered was a hit. Heard they got a new chef, and it shows. I'm definitely returning; hope they keep this chef around!“

“I been eating here for years and the food is still delicious with great service!I have sent many people here and they have positive feedback as well..Since I’m without transportation I have food delivered and I don’t have to wait very long and the driver is always greeting me with a respect.Keep up great work be blessed ??“

“This is my go-to take out Chinese. They're always quick with the orders. It's usually ready when I get there, and it's always tasty. The people who work their are always polite. I have yet to have a problem.Definitely recommend you order ahead. This IS the pick-up spot in my opinion. At least in my neck of the woods.

Vegetarian options: Mixed vegetables are great. Haven't tried their bean curds, but if everything else is an example, it should be awesome.“

“First time trying this little restaurant on Gunn Highway - very pleasantly surprised. The food is very tasty and we will be returning.

Vegetarian options: I ordered the mixed vegetables and they were very tasty and a good variety. Lots of broccoli, snow peas, onions, mushrooms, carrots not the usual baby corn and celery. I asked for a bit of heat to the dish and they were happy to comply.

Parking: Easy to park, just pulled up in front of the restaurant. Very easy access.“

“From my mom... "This is my favorite Asain Kitchen, it is always nice and clean the food is ALWAYS fresh tasting. It's not mushy like at other places" The employees are very nice and pleasant. The restaurant is very clean " The Pei Wei shirt is my favorite "“

“Today we ordered Beef and Broccoli and their House Fried Rice. This was incredible. If you have not gone it will take you a bit to go over all the options on menu! This exceptional restaurant is a hidden gem! Go and Enjoy!

Parking: Parking lot in a strip mall.“

“I have a new go to takeout place! This is the BEST egg drop soup I have ever had. The eggs were perfectly creamy and a wonderful flavor. The roast pork egg foo young was delicious, as was the gravy that came with it. Portions were hefty, so lots of leftovers!“

“What a welcome surprise—out doing errands and decided to try some local Chinese food. Some of the best Hot & Sour Soup and very tasty Steamed Dumplings. House Fried Rice, both Shrimp and Beef Lo Mein and Chicken and Broccoli were all very well made and delicious. Very good quality at a good price—order on line to save fees. The order was ready when promised and they even phoned to say it was ready for pick up. We will definitely be back!“

“I ordered the pepper steak with noodles, my friend ordered the sesame chicken with fried rice and let me tell you IT WAS SO JUICY. The order came with egg rolls and they were piping hot. I could tell all the food was made fresh to order because we heard them cooking it up in the back for a while and It all tasted very fresh and well seasoned. They’re definitely not stingey with the portions which is nice. I would 10000% recommend and come back again.“

“This place isn't much to look at and the inside looks like a package store, but the food is excellent and many different choices. The staff is great,I'm disabled and they really take care of me. Try it once, you'll be back.

Parking: Handicapped parking and plenty of other spots.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp for wheelchair access“

“Was my first time ...the best Chinese food I have ever had ..Very large portions to share ..They have a desert cart that comes around...will definitely be back with the family! 5 stars from me for sure!“

“Excellent food! Fresh, hot,reasonably priced! Can't wait to eat there again!“

“BEST STEAMED DUMPLINGS IN TAMPA! i crave these dumplings truly. i get them once a week at minimum! i only order takeout here - there is no in-house dining. but it's a small, family run spot with absolutely delicious chinese. i also love their lo mein and fried rice. but the dumplings are truly my favorite.“

“This place is priced well, reliable and quick. They have never messed up my order. I recommend to anyone just looking for a quick option from somewhere that’s good. It’s not let me down. Every time I order there they say “10 minute. “ It couldn’t be more true they’re terrific. Great job!“

“Today my son and I tried this restaurant for the 1st time. I am a Native New Yorker; I know what good Chinese food tastes like. This was absolutely delicious! We had the pork fried rice, egg rolls, chicken wings, and BBQ spare ribs! yay! We are so happy and will be back again. Thank you! The man that served us was very friendly as well.“

“their food is good. i wish they had more images on their website for each menu item. they are very flexible and will do special orders with customized meat choices for dietary restrictions so i applaud that.on a recent visit, i picked up 3 items for a total of around $40. the young lady was understandably somewhat frustrated that i interrupted her meal to pickup my order (that is not a problem, I also get frustrated when customers interrupt my hot meal). but the complaint i have is that when I elected to not tip she seemed to be in disbelief and displeased according to her facial expression. every customer regardless of the service that they were provided should not be treated with discrimination based on their personal choice of paid gratitude/tips. each customer has their own personal circumstance.I look forward to visiting them again and not being treated differently based on my choice of tipping.“

“Excellent! We ordered from Uber Eats, so I can’t speak to the ambience, but the food was delicious. We had chicken fried rice, sweet-and-sour shrimp, chicken and rice soup, and wontons. There was a brown gravy served on the side and I’m not sure what it was for, but we put it on everything and it was fantastic.
Everything was seasoned perfectly, the crispy breading on the shrimp was delicate and flavorful and the chicken was in small tender strips. Highly recommend!“

“The serving sizes are gigantic. Easily just get one combo and you can feed 2, maybe even 3 people. HUGE and heavy and a fantastic price. The taste is pretty typical. It's good but not something stellar. Their chicken and veg dishes are delicious. Al dente vegetables.. The honey garlic chicken was eh. Mostly tasted like honey. Not nuanced or savory enough. The standard fried rice is great. I will keep coming back here because the value is insane if you're on a budget.“

“Love their chicken with cashew nuts. It comes with an egg roll and pork fried rice (and a fortune cookie). Tasty sauce and large portions. I always have enough for two meals. Add wonton soup for around $2.50, which is flavorful and a favorite of mine. I order online and it's ready at the promised time.“

“super rico iguales que los de PR 💪💪💪 lo mejor“

“I recently visited this delightful Chinese spot that truly impressed me with their flavorsome dishes. The pork gyoza had a perfect pan-fried crispness and a succulent filling, a well-deserved 8/10. The shrimp fried rice was a standout, with generous portions of shrimp and just the right amount of seasoning, easily a 9/10. While the French fries strayed from the traditional menu, they were decent but not remarkable, so I'd give them a 6/10. The pork and rice dish was hearty and flavorful, earning a solid 7/10. And the General Tso's chicken? It was a savory delight with just the right kick of heat, an 8/10 for sure. Overall, this place is a great choice for a satisfying meal, and I'd rate it an 8/10. Would recommend it to anyone craving a Chinese feast with a few familiar favorites on the side.“

“Was my first time ...the best Chinese food I have ever had ..Very large portions to share ..They have a desert cart that comes around...will definitely be back with the family! 5 stars from me for sure!“

“As "Taste of China" is close to our new residence in Town n' Country we wanted to check the quality, freshness and taste.I generally do not believe in all reviews online, neither especially very good nor very bad ones but like to make my own experiences.As former world travelling engineer I know how different but also how good Chinese Dishes can taste from Mainland China over Hong Kong and Germany up to USA.This little place deliveres surprisingly extraordinary fresh (no frozen veggies!!!) and very tasty and same time sufficiantly well portioned and so far satisfying meals.Long story short: My wife and I recommend it!“

“This used to be the top dim sum in the Tampa Bay Area. I’ve noticed a few of the most popular dishes needs a little bit of tweaking. Xiu Mai as well as the fried turnip cake is dry. If these 2 dishes can be fixed, I believe the restaurant will regain a lot of their customers. New dim sum places have popped up and have overstepped Ho Ho only because they’ve managed to make these two dishes extra tasty ;-)“

“I used to go to the one on 50th street, they were Amazing. Then they sold to some people who don't know how to cook Chinese food. I was upset. Then I found out they had another store New Far East from Paul the Plumber. They have the Best Food in Town... 10+++++++ Everyone should go.“

“The food was amazing, authentic, and extremely flavorful. It's a must-have“
