45 Best Chinese Restaurants in Raleigh

“It’s been years since I’ve dined at P.F. Chang’s and my latest visit has me wanting more! For starters my bf and I ordered the BBQ Spare Ribs that were so good I forgot to get a picture lol. I would certainly order those again. My main was the Crispy Honey Chicken with Lo Mein noodles. I liked my meal but I would try something different next time. The Sesame Beef that my bf ordered was even better, especially paired with the Fried Rice side. I will be ordering the latter on my next visit here. We dined on a Sunday night, an hour or so before closing, so it was not busy at all. Our service was good but would’ve been great if our waitress hadn’t forgotten the bowl of soup I ordered but it was fine because I was so full after eating our app and entree and they did sincerely apologize so all is well. I do look forward to eating here again soon and since I am not from the area it makes for a special treat. I highly recommend this P.F. Chang’s location.“

“I love this place! It tastes just like the authentic Chinese instant hotpot (Ma La Tang). You choose whatever food you want and the flavor of soup you like, then they will cook (boil) for you. It’s less time consuming than a hot pot meal and convenient for an easy individual lunch/dinner.

Parking: It’s street parking on Hillsborough st so it can be difficult during the rush hours and on the weekend.“

“The Pad Thai and the Dan Dan Noodles are delicious! The service is always very fast. Nice atmosphere where music playing overhead. I definitely recommend.“

“Im gonna give a 5 star review because the food was amazing. I got the orange chicken and the pancit. But I hope you guys read this because that fried rice...its gotta go...it seemed like white rice with a bunch of soy sauce dumped on it, it is the one thing that was not good about the meals. But I will keep coming back!“

“The food is really great! Definitely the real deal Asian! Great food“

“Reviews all said excellent. 4 new believers. Each dish was excellent and great portions“

“Im eating in for lunch today and here right now. Restaurant is clean, staff is friendly and fast, food is hot, fresh, and delicious. There is SO MUCH to choose from... sushi, fish, beef, chicken, veggies, fruit...i could go on and on. Definitely recommend!“

“Delicious food and great portions“

“I've been a patron of AGGIES for years and introduced numerous friends and family to this place. The steak sub is the best!! The wings are amazing and please try the Blooming Tea!!

The Hot Blooming Tea is the best tea you'll have anywhere!! So when I heard they need to drum up more business I absolutely took the time to give them an honest review.

Give them a try! Nice atmosphere, kind staff and just a great place eat.

A+!!“

“I’m not big on Chinese food simply because I’m working out and it puts weight on you. I had a cheat day on Friday and it was absolutely ? delicious! I’ll definitely be going back next month to enjoy more but I can only indulge on this type of food once a month! The ladies that work here are awesome and hardworking. Loved the service!“

“This is it!.. don’t let the “look” or Asian smell fool you, that’s actually a selling point if you know you know. Priced fairly compared to others and they delivered on my favorite flavors better than other places. I’m not going elsewhere for affordable Chinese again unless they price me out ?! Recommend everyone try this for that classic affordable chinese cuisine experience!“

“Love China won, love this place. I've been here almost 5 years. This is the best Chinese take-out restaurant around here. The staff are very friendly. I recommend General Tso's chicken and egg roll, and chicken lo mein, and crab Rangoon. It is amazing too.“

“I had food ordered from here for my graduation party. The food tasted really good and all of my guest were happy with the food choices. Prem, the person I talked to was really helpful when it came to ordering the right amount of food and was prompt in getting things ready. I would recommend this place for good indo-Chinese food for anyone around the area.“

“The won ton soup and fried rice are delicious. The won ton soup is best I’ve found in area and the rice is fresh and tastes delicious. I get extra onions in conjunction with the carrots and peas that come in it. They definitely don’t disappoint on the amount of onions. Delicious!!! Ty Jumbo China!“

“Food is good, hit and miss on the broccoli one day the broccoli is perfect the next day it’s so hard it’s difficult to chew. Please make sure you tell them exactly how you want your food prepared. Location is great I get to order food and run to the grocery store to pick up a few things and back to pick up my food“

“This is the best hole-in-the-wall American Chinese in the area. It is what it is, and it's where I go when I want what it is.Food is quality is high without skimping on the more costly ingredients. Portions are large for plenty of leftovers.“

“I've been getting food here for 4 years. Orange chicken has a some spice, mooshoo pork is tasty, and rolls are nicely fried. It's a pick-up-and-go place, but they work fast and the food has good texture. And the fried rice isn't as greasy as some other places. 5/5 reliable good takeout.“

“I use to work walking distance from Peace. Now, I travel from Wake Forest to get some lo mein.“

“eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious, spicy too!“

“Always ready in 10 minutes for takeout. Lady at the window is so nice!

Parking: Plenty of parking. Usually some up front if it’s not a busy day.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps to get on sidewalk and doorway is wide enough for wheelchair to fit through.“

“The food is always delicious. The only thing we add at the table is soy sauce.“

“One of the best, if not the best, bang for your buck downtown Raleigh lunch. For less than $11 they will stack a tray full of rice, chicken, and 2 spring rolls. Can't beat the amount of food for the price in downtown Raleigh. Also I would not give it 5 stars if it was bad food. It is pretty pretty good. Sesame chicken and general tso really hit the spot. I recommend this place.Don't order online like the bad reviews I've seen having bad experiences with that. Just walk in. It takes less than a minute to get a tray and pay“

“Great people, great food! Always a go to in our family, a must try. Local business, our families favorite place in Raleigh!“

“Best crab Rangoon, best shrimp fried rice, best chicken Lo mein in the area. Hands down! Also, really awesome people working the front and back of the restaurant for both take out and dine-in experiences.“

“yall bugging fr, food is pretty good i dont got no complains i could care less if someone was rude to me tbh i would just take my food and dip it aint that big of a deal food was good bro and the worst thing that happened was getting hair outside the bag

Parking: parking was chilling“

“Food is not bad. Quantity is ok but if they could take the price down by a notch, it'd be better. There are more Chinese takeouts that offer cheaper rates for similar plates. Spending nearly $12 for a meal is an overkill here in North Carolina. Even in New York, it costs you like $10 for a single chinese takeout.“

“Been here many many times for 3 yrs since I go to class and work across the street. Food is great for the price. They're fast and consistent.
If you're looking for 'healthy/not oily' then get white rice and a veggie dish...“

“Best tofu I have had in the area. My husband tried it and he thought it was chicken. The General Tso is amazing! The flavor is consistent/crunchy and the sizes are large. I also like the spring rolls and brown rice. Updated from previous review on 2024-03-30“

“The staffs are very professional , respectful, and polite. The food is exceptional and presentations perfect. Am vision impaired,but treated with high respect and always have help and feel safe and secure while in there eating. LOVE THERE GOD BLESS “

“The food is always fresh I live way on the other end now in the back but I go out my way just to go to this Chinese restaurant because it's very good and clean.

Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of things there are kid-friendly and they also offer small portions for children also.

Parking: They have other stores there and also food Lion supermarket so you have plenty of parking free.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it's wheelchair assessable

Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions or you do is ask what's in the dish they don't mind changing the disc the way you that's including sources you can change the way you want. If you don't see something on the menu ask some things are not on it.“

“Saw this place while driving and decided to stop in. They have black pepper chicken, which is sometimes hard to find, for whatever reason. It was so good, I went back 3 days later and ordered it again. I've also tried the chicken n broccoli and sesame chicken. Both very good. The eggs rolls are delish. There is a Dollar Tree and Harris Teeter also in this shopping strip. Friendly service.“

“You WILL NOT be disappointed! Lunch is not served after 2:30...Lunch buffet close to $12 w/drink... CAN'T beat this! Small buffet...Nice little crowd ...(Gets BUSY...during the week! NO buffet on the wknd! ONLY takeout...Take out during the week, as well.“

“First off I'm not a big fan of Chinese food. My son had this delivered tonight and I was totally surprised on how much I liked it. We had Gen Tso and chicken lo main and it was the best I've ever eaten to date (I'm 62, so I've eaten my share of this combo) hats off to the cook tonight, I'll be coming here again in the very near future and we will see if this will be my go to Chinese restaurant in the future?“

“I ordered from Jin Jin China today all the food was Fresh and Delicious Egg Fuo youg and even the egg roll was fresh and really good, The Egg drop soup was hot and delicious. I stopped ordering food from here at one time, but I am coming back“

“China Star's long-time delivery man saved my dog's life. Puppy escaped thru my door and raced toward the main road. Their delivery man ran a long way, until he caught her and brought her back. I thank him every time I see him. Their food is great so I order delivery a lot! Good food and good people!“

“This is a family owned and operated business. They are trying very hard to please people, but some people can NOT be pleased. Everyone here is very kind, and the food is very good. Service is above standard. I have read comments on how some people don't "like" this food. That is an individual opinion. Please don't leave bad comments about the entire store just because YOU don't personally like the taste. That has NOTHING to do with anything. As far as the child (I read another comment about a child misbehaving), so it's OK for customers to bring unruly children to a restaurant, but not ok for a restaurant owners' young child to have a bad day? Do not be judging others until you, yourself are free of faults. There is nothing wrong with this business. Thank you for being here and giving us a place to eat. :)“

“Went there for the first time on 2/14/2025. Ordered take-out from the dinner menu. Had the combination Hunan Chicken, sesame chicken, lo mein, crab Rangoon, & hot & sour soup. The flavors were all great!!! There is only one set back I want to mention…. “The Lo Mein” is not my preferred dish & will not order it ever again. The noodles were spaghetti noodles & does not do any justice to the dish. I was told my order was will be ready in 30 mins (I know it’s an estimate) but I got there 30 mins later & waited an additional 30 + mins….

Parking: I couldn’t find the place cause their lights were off. The parking was hard to get in & out due to heavy traffic (went around 6pm).“

“Do you have a favorite place that you absolutely love regardless of people's reviews and ratings? To me, Bao Shi Yi 包十一 is such a precious place that I love even more each time I visit. Bao means Bun, and Shi Yi, Eleven, can you guess the story behind the name? On Saturday mornings, after dropping off father-in-law for his acupuncture session, we like to take a break and have some Chinese breakfast at Bao Shi Yi. The place is always lively with Chinese patrons on weekend mornings. The place is small but bright and charming. I always order their Organic Soy Milk 有机豆浆 because it's the best in town to me, a welcoming beverage to start the meal off properly. They offer Tofu Pudding 豆花 in three options, Salty, Sweet, and Mala Spicy 咸、甜、麻辣. The Sweet Tofu Flower is so silky and delicate that it almost slides off my tongue. It's so enjoyable and fun to have the almost weightless pudding swirls in my mouth before it smoothly glides down. The sweetness level is at the sweet spot for Asian sensibility. Another perennial favorite of ours is Porridge with Preserved Egg and Lean Meat 皮蛋瘦肉粥, which is a recommended house specialty. It's the ultimate comfort food, with complex flavored Preserved Egg and savory Lean Pork slices, in a container of hot Porridge that makes our tummies warm and happy. The most satisfactory thing to order to accompany the two items mentioned above is Chinese Donut - 鸡蛋油条. The Chinese label implies that Eggs are incorporated into their dough, which explains why it smells and tastes so much better. YouTiao literally translates as Oily Sticks, it's crunchy on the outside and chewy inside, and makes my mouth greasy biting into it, but the oil they used to fry it is clean tasting, so befitting its name and executed perfectly by the restaurant. Their YouTiao is my top favorite in town, no other places wow me as much. I would never expect to find the best Cantonese style Juicy Cha Siu Buns 爆汁叉烧包 here at a mostly Mainland style Chinese restaurant, but they beat other Dim Sum places in town for me. The Skin has the right density and fluffiness when served hot, filled with juicy Cha Siu bites inside. When I take a bite into this childhood favorite Bun of mine, I can taste sweet and savory, delivered in a white spongy bun that's like heaven in my mouth. Their style of food is not for everyone, but to me, it doesn't matter at all, I love Bao Shi Yi. It's comforting, tasting, and homely to me. Their food gives me a sense of familiarity and solace that is unbeatable. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Has anyone figured out the answer to the meaning of their name yet? I'm also open to suggestions as to where I can find similar breakfast places. Please share if you have a favorite.“

“When you want to take a step back in time to a place that has remained classic gourmet Chinese food, this is definitely your spot. This place has the authentic taste that I grew up with at the better, dine-in type Chinese restaurants in inner City New York. In particular it reminds me of Lum Chin or Jade Island (still in business after >50 years) on Staten Island“

“I was skeptical about going here so to the bad reviews but it was 2 minutes from my house. Seems like a family owned and run restaurant with children there helping and doing their homework. I ordered the Szechuan chicken with white rice and triple delight with white rice from the house special section and then 2 shrimp egg rolls. I personally thought it was good for fast food Chinese food and also had chicken wings with house special fried rice. I would go back again.“

“Just moved to Wake Forest, tried some Chinese take out food and this place didn’t disappoint at all. It is located in good location, next to a movie theater.
I tried my favorite dish boneless spare ribs with fried rice as always.“

“You want shrimp fried rice??? Ok 15 minutes!! The food is always hot and delicious and the Lil lady behind the window is gilarious..hilarious... she doesn't take anyone messing with her

Parking: Please ty of parking! Just beware of the local homeless people begging g for money. Some can be too much“

“Fabulous lunch!! Service was excellent and food Sven better“

“RECOMMEND 100% the food there is delicious whenever i come to order and i come back home i finish my food like there is no tomorrow, the only flaw is that it kinda concerns me how they finish the food that fast, And there seats are pretty comfortable, But overall 4 “
