"I got here before the dinner crowd and the timing was perfect. I had been fight coldso I wanted some vitamin C so I ordered the orange chicken; it did not disappoint it was delicious! There was a lot of chicken in the portion and most of it was unsure noodles. The hand pulled noodles were the best. The seasoning of the orange flavor was perfect...the service was great but but but there was no hot tea!"

"This place is a hidden gem! We decided to venture out to the east side of town and came for lunch, had their lunch specials! The portions are huge and the food is delicious! I had their lunch special chicken chop suey with fried rice and hot and sour soup! The place was hopping and now I know why! The place was clean and the service was good! Good place to check out if you are in the Zaragoza neighborhood! Enjoy!"

Kungfu China Express

★★★★★ 4.5 (80)

"Easy, fast, and delicious food for a decent price! I got the 2 item combo, with noodles, bourbon chicken, and jalapeño chicken. The food tasted fresh, it had lots of flavor, and the plate was filled to the top. The service was great, it took all of about 3 minutes for me to get my food and pay. The ambiance inside the restaurant was also nice, with plenty of tables and booths to sit in. Overall, definitely recommend, definitely will eat here every time I'm in midland!"

Shan Dong Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (98) • $$

"My daughter and I came in for lunch. We are from New Mexico. I ordered the Moo Goo Gai Pan and my Daughter had the Sesame Chicken. Both were delicious! All the sides(Soup, Fried rice and egg rolls) were also wonderful. The staff was also very friendly. When we come back to El Paso this will be one of our go to spots. I highly recommend you visit this restaurant."

Umami Ramen House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (94) • $$

"I flew into El Paso and felt like I was getting sick and needed soup. I got a simple egg drop soup and my equally ill daughter ordered wonton soup. We didn't want anything heavy like a full order of ramen.I appreciated that they call to confirm online orders. I appreciated less that my daughter's soup had burst by the time we made it back. The small soup was put in a styrofoam coffee cup. She was nearly in tears but we fished out the wontons and poured in the egg drop soup. My frustration increased a bit more when i realized they only supplied one set of chopsticks and a fork. I had to ask the hotel concierge for spoons. But once I finally had the soup, all was forgiven. It was smooth, silky and nourishing. My daughter loved her watermelon boba too."

Red Wok

★★★★☆ 4.1 (82)

"I have been here several times before and enjoyed the food. Prices are fairly reasonable as well. If you come at lunch, you can choose two orders which is less than one meal at dinner. The place rarely gets packed and I highly recommend it."

Noodles & Baos

★★★★☆ 3.8 (78) • $$

"I visited Noodles & Dumplings on Viscount to meet with a friend during lunch. The restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. The restaurant is clean and has beautiful decor. Noodles & Dumplings staff was kind and attentive. I had visited their location on Transmountain and was not impressed with their restaurant or customer service. I am glad that Noodles and Dumplings on Viscount offers much better service; their food and servings are generous. The noodles were thick and delicious. The restaurant is located at a mini-mall with ample parking. I drank hot jasmine tea, but they also offer boba."

Sun Wok

"We needed to get a quick dinner that was not fast food while we were on the road and spotted this Chinese place next to Starbucks. It looks like they used to offer dine in but has shifted to take out only after Covid. However, when we asked if we could sit down and eat, the owner let us move the table and chairs, which we truly appreciate. We ordered shrimp w vegetables, orange chicken and yakisoba. The baby corn tasted off, but other than that the food was fresh and tasted great. You do have to purchase beverage since it's counter service only."

Great Wall

★★★★☆ 3.6 (77) • $

"GIANT portions... one plate (includes entree and side) is enough to easily feed 2-3 hungry people. Not kidding. We always have plenty of leftovers. The price is great for the amount of food you get too! Don't sleep on the appetizers, the dumplings, rangoons and spring rolls are all phenomenal."

Chinese Dumpling

★★★★☆ 4.3 (52)

"Food was good. Service as well. The dumplings could have had more seasoning in the meat but still enjoyed."

Soya Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (61) • $

"Very nice portions for the price. Good flavor as well Got the general Tso and the Hunan beef (a lot of veggies and Good amount of beef in there) Not spicy at all. Great flavor. Enjoyed what we got very much. We could of definitely shared one plate comes with side of rice as well."

Grand China Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3 (91) • $$

"Very dirt atmosphere it looks like they need to get a day or two and just do a deep clean on there restaurant the rugs look dirty and all of the tables and seats look like they need cleaned and sanatizedz, the Coke or pepsi never have gas tastes like water and sugar every time we go, the food its either cooked to much or not cooked enough, i think it needs better management and someone that can try the food before putting it on the heaters."

China House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (66) • $$

"If there ever was the most hated customer it would have to be me. I placed an order to go 30 minutes before closing time. Unlike most restaurants in El Paso which stop taking orders 30 minutes before closing, the owner took my order and then even stayed 10 minutes after when he could've easily just locked up and gone home. Definitely five stars for customer service and appreciation. As far as the food goes, we ordered pork fried rice, general Tso's chicken, pork dumplings, edamame, and sweet-and-sour pork. All of it was fabulous. I definitely would recommend the sliced pork appetizer. It was very tasty and juicy unlike other places where the meat is dried out. Overall, this is my go to Chinese restaurant"

Lin's Grand Buffet

"Excellent! Seafood! Our family loves it. We've been to both locations in El Paso. Quality is excellent! Wide variety! It's our seafood go to. They're peel and eat shrimp is awesome."

Noodles & Dumplings

★★★★☆ 3.6 (57)

"Perfect place to grab lunch! It's not to crowded very clean and super yummy food. The food comes out hot and fresh and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff was friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The price is fair for the amount of food you get. I feel like they have the best dumplings around!"

Kuo's Chinese Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (72) • $$

"I can't believe it's taken me so long to write a review. We've been coming here for six months and the good and service has been great! I used to come here years ago (different owners) and it was so so. The new owners (the last four years) have made it my favorite place for Chinese food. The servings are huge and the food is always delicious. Their hot and sour soup is a must. I have hubby get it when I'm fighting a cold. It's that good. The prices are more than fair seeing we usually take a huge to go box full of food home. The take out business is busy and folks come in all through the dinner service to bring their food home. Just a great place to eat."

Hunan Palace

★★★★☆ 3.7 (45) • $$

"I have tried several Chinese restaurants and all of them have been so so until I tried this place. This restaurant is close to UTEP and located on Mesa. So I never tried the place until recently. The food was fantastic. From the appetizers to main dishes to the sauces, the food was very good. The hot mustard will clear your sinuses so be careful. Then service was also top notch. The servers were very attentive and did a fantastic job. This will be one Chinese restaurant that I will try again and again."

Peking Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (65) • $

"There comes a time in every man's (or woman's) life when you find the greatest thing purely by accident. Such was the case for me today, considering I wasn't even looking for another great Chinese restaurant since I found Soya Cafe the week prior. However, that was all put to rest when I came across a little corner of heaven known as Peking Kitchen (not to be confused with Peking Garden). But it's...definitely not perfect.Okay, so I should clarify a thing: this place is actually Szechuan style cuisine, but that's still an overall theme of Chinese. Only...south western Chinese. What does that even mean to us plebeian American consumers of all things? Not a damn thing.They serve all the appetizers and sides you would expect from a typical Chinese place. Today I decided to try one of their lunch specials. Once again, like their distant cousin Soya, the lunches were well priced for what they had to offer. In fact, I'd say I enjoyed their menu configuration even more because they just had more to offer. Basically, you get a main course, soup of your choosing, an egg roll, and your choice of fried or white rice.So being the huge seafood connoisseur that I am, I decided I wanted to see what their butterfly shrimp was all about. It was nothing like I expected, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The best way I can describe it is...deep fried shrimp meets sweet n' sour sauce. The texture and flavor were all great. I wasn't a fan of the pineapple swimming in sweet n' sour sauce and resembling the color and appearance of cubed grapefruit, so I left it on the plate.Now, here's where things become both interesting and mixed. First, I had what was possibly the BEST cup of egg drop soup I have ever tasted since moving back to El Paso! I'm talking about the kind of egg drop soup that's perfectly seasoned, perfect broth consistency, plenty of egg (of course) AND....they serve a copious portion of fried wontons perfect for dipping into the soup. I also love the fact that it was piping hot when it came out...but not like, boiling hot. So many other places screw that up.For a side, I ordered the fried rice and...this is where things get mixed for me. Because I'm a huge fan of fried rice, both in the Japanese and Chinese cuisine. That being said, today's fried rice was bland and forgettable. It had hardly any egg in it and lacked so much flavor that I had to add a dash of soy sauce just to continue eating. Not a complete fail; just a bit of a let down. So here's what I intend to do for my next visit, and I'm sure you'll agree: just get the white rice instead and season to taste with soy sauce and enjoy. If I'm gonna eat stoic rice, it might as well be the white rice. At least then I don't have to worry about avoiding the peas. I also didn't care for the presentation. I dunno what it is...it's just something about a pile of rice looking as if it was placed on the plate and molded with an upside down funnel that seems unappealing to me.The egg roll was a near miss for me as well. Because whilst the outside was crispy and inviting, the inside (ya know...the part that matters?) was slightly bland and unexciting for me. Again, I had to pour a dash of soy sauce inside the egg roll in order to enjoy it fully. I usually never do this, btw.Other than that, I really don't have much to complain about this place. I want to return for lunch one day soon. The inside looks and feels very comfy and is the total opposite of cramp. I have to wonder if this is a fairly new restaurant because they only have 1 review from a few days ago so far. And so...I had to put them on the market and make sure everyone far and wide knew that this place is easily a comfy lunch spot worthy of 4 perfectly seasoned bowls of egg drop soup accompanied with crispy delicious fried wontons which taste like heaven on earth out of 5."

PANDA HOUSE

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (50) • $$

"It basically is a neighborhood Chinese take-out place--nothing fancy about this place. It is in a shopping strip with a small supermarket in the residential area. It also delivers. We opted to dine-in. Service was friendly and fast during very busy lunch time. It didn't take too long to receive our food after we ordered though there were a couple of people waiting to pick up their take-outs and customers calling-in for delivery.Food was very good, I thought--what you'd expect from a neighborhood Chinese take-out place. Serving portion was generous for lunch plate. It came with an egg roll, soup and choice of rice. I was so hungry, I finished my plate clean. There are some competitions in this neighborhood for Chinese food. I need to go to other places to compare if this one is any better than others, but right now this might be the go-to Chinese place simply because I liked this one, and it's very close to our house."

"Very excited to see a place that had some options for my meat eater friends and vegetarians. Walked in and the ambiance is a bit strange to match the menu, but hey it's more about the food right. Once we walked in there were folks picking up their to-go meals, and then it was out turn. We were told we can sit wherever we would like. Plenary of seating as there was only one couple there. Choose our place and the lady at the front came over with menus. She came back to get our drink orders and since I ordered water, I witness them actually getting the ice from a container that is underneath a shelf with out a cover and then a pitcher for the water so I asked for something else as people are passing by the area and nothing is covering it. A friend ordered one of the boba teas and loved it. Their lemonade is SWEET. Too sweet for me, had to add water to it. Alright now for the food. We ordered the following; takoyaki octopus balls 1/5Juicy Pork Bao 3/5Black garlic tonkotsu 5/5Salmon Poke bowl 1/5The octopus balls were the vibe of thawed and then warmed up, they are not fresh at all. The Salmon poke bowl was a joke. It was basically just a ton of rice and then a thin layer of toppings with a ton of sauce. The salmon pieces were itty-bitty cubes. The bao were decent but was told their were as good as a place we love that has them. Now the black garlic tonkotsu was apparently amazing! If only I ate pork I would have been a happy camper. Just a heads up, they have things such as steamed Veggie gyoza on their menu but they don't actually have it. nor do they have veggie spring rolls, even though it's on the menu. The way the food came out was very strange as well. The ramen was the first thing, then the milk boba, then the Bao, then when the ramen meal was almost done, the Poke bowl came out. All very strange. Not sure their method, so if you come with a group, you may not all get your food at the same time. All in all, this is definitely not be a good to place to eat for me."

"The food is bomb. Let me be honest service was mediocre, the place itself lacks identity and all that. However the food is absolutely great. I've ordered delivery and went in today and every time it is absolutely delicious."

Asian Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3 (49) • $$

"I will preface this review with the fact that I do not live in the Las Cruces area, I live near Los Angeles where Asian food of all kinds abounds. That out of the way, I can honestly say this was a surprisingly good Chinese/Asian Buffet experience. I say "surprisingly" because you never know what your going to get with Chinese Buffets and this is Las Cruces. The food was well presented, hot and flavorful. The selection of dishes was large and the sushi was good. The restaurant was well kept, clean and the lighting was appropriate for the setting. Service, seating and checkout were fast and friendly. The large waterfall feature inside the front door is a nice touch. No complaints about anything, and I'll be going back again while I'm in Las Cruces. Always nice to be surprised when you visit a new place."

"New to town so we have tried all three Asian places in Silver City. This place wins! We eat often and order take out often it's a guaranteed good Asian meal. My husband gets orange chicken and sesame chicken I get sushi and different items often. They treat us well always and we are thankful to them for existing. We will stay regular customers always. ~The Boyd's"

"I came here on a Thursday lunch hour and this place gets extremely busy. Thankfully the food was meh, but I guess I could say somewhat tasty... I'm sure it has a ton of MSG. Well ... I do think I'll be coming back again in the future that is IF I'm extremely craving Chinese food :/ The staff was also very attentive and food at the buffet was always fresh."

China-Mex

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (43) • $$

"Great Chinese food at a great value, this place doesn't disappoint. China Mex is an Odessa favorite, a hole in the wall restaurant with great food. We ordered the Spicy Chicken and Fried Rice and also the Emperor Fried Rice which includes chicken, beef and shrimp...the food was excellent however the service in the beginning not so much. We came inside during lunch hour and took about 10 minutes us standing there before we were directed to a table. We sat at our table for about another 10 minutes before we were asked what to drink and given menus. Five minutes later we were given our waters and asked if we wanted to order and we did so immediately to make up lost time. The food came out 10 minutes later and that's were my rating goes up to 4 stars. Been years I've eaten here, the portions are great and so is the food, now only if they had a drive thru it would be excellent."

Fu Lai China Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (35)

"Such little selection. For the price, I was expecting more. A salad bar at minimum but they don't even have that. What they did have was decent, but way overpriced for such a small selection of items. Won't be back."

Peking Garden Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (50) • $

"The bottom line: it was just an OK dining experience for me. I wish I could say I had a great one, but it was fair to good at best IMHO. If it weren't for good service, I might've given it a two-star review. I went in for Saturday lunch, and I could've ordered from menu or had a buffet. I opted for buffet (Sat. and Sun. only). It offers the great price of $8.95 which is all inclusive: all-you-can eat food and drink, a cup of soup of your choice, and tax. That's a great deal!! Unfortunately, the only a couple of choices of entree were good on the buffet line, and orange chicken was not good at all--too much coating and very hard meat inside--it tasted like it sat there for hours. Chicken and broccoli and peppered shrimp dishes were very tasty and good. I might go back just for those two selections. I just might. Service was very good. Friendly servers were polite and prompt--no complaints here. I suppose old adage applies to this place: you get what you pay for... I'd rather pay a little more to eat fresher and better tasting food."
