The Most Delectable Chinese in Indianapolis

Egg Roll Number 1

★★★★★ 4.5 (661) • $$

"Wow! That's all I can say to start. There was a long line on a Saturday night so you know this place rocks! I got pho with chicken and appreciates all the sides available. It was AMAZING and the ingredients were so fresh. It was my first time and I'll definitely be back."

The Journey

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (544) • $$

"This restaurant has been around forever. When it opened, it was known for low prices, fresh food and a chocolate fountain surrounded with gargantuan strawberries, marshmallows along with other fruits to dip. While the huge fountain doesn't erupt from the restaurant's center at lunchtime (it maybe dinner only) there's still something for everyone. They have steak, spare ribs, sushi, dessert crepes made to order (limit 2 per person), a full salad bar, soups, pot roast, quesadillas and so much more."

King Wok

★★★★☆ 4.3 (244) • $$

"Sorry that I didn't take more pictures,We decided to take out, n wow! LOVED it!! The atmosphere inside looked AMAZING! A for sure spot to check out! Food was super flavorful! The ppl that attended me meantime I waited for my food we're super polite! Without a doubt really good food! A must check"

Dumpling House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (159) • $$

"This review is hot pot. Hot pot can be served but a reservation is required as hot pot dinning is an experience to be enjoyed over time. I think there is a minimum of four dinners for hot pot. The cost is a flat rate for all you can eat.The team here was excellent as hot pot is a process. The main server was very good at explaining how hot pot works. He was very friendly and welcoming. The support team was good at clearing the dishes in a timely basis and getting you more items.The hot pot unit is a burner placed in the middle of te table. The pot is split into two sides. One side was a mild chicken broth. The other side, which we selected, was a spicier broth. The spicy broth does have a bit of kick that will hit you after time.The broth comes with dumplings. The dumpings with shrimp and fish inside were tasty. The meal came with thin slices of lamb and beef. These cook in about 30 seconds and are a nice add to the meal.You can cook other items like noodles,mushrooms and other vegetables. These have less taste and appeal but they are part of the experience.The meal comes with two house made sauces. Both are very tasty. One is a lot more spicy than the other.I would encourage you to give hot pot dinning experience a try. It's not your usual Chinese food option."

Imperial Palace

★★★★☆ 4.3 (139) • $$

"When you walk in and hear Frank Sinatra singing and see photos of Marilyn Monroe, you'll know your in the right place. Imperial Palace is a locally owned family business featuring traditional Chinese cuisine. During our visit, the owner was working alone and the dining room was full. They have only seven tables and those can fill quickly with the lunch crowd. He worked quickly to bring beverages and take orders. I had the Kung Pao Chicken and my husband had the Beef with Broccoli lunches. The food came out in about 15 minutes. Everything is prepared fresh. The egg roll was delicious and light. The ingredients in the Kung Pao Chicken were super fresh and the spice level was on the mild side for me. I wish I had requested more spice. But the freshness of the food made up for the lack of spice. There were two generous portions of rice. The lunch was delicious. My husband loved his Beef with Broccoli as well. They open at 11:00 am and serve lunch and dinner. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall. He does a robust service carry out as well. I'll definitely be back and I recommend. It's a fun little place."

Asian Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (175) • $$

"Felt like I should update this since it's been four years. Asian Grill used to be one of my favorite restaurants, and it's definitely still good, but just not the same.They've completely redone the entire concept. No longer a sit-down, waiter-comes-to-the-table situation. Now you order at a counter, or even at a kiosk, and you go up to get it when your number is called. This has all sorts of ramifications...smaller menu (many of the best items slashed, like avocado soup, samosas, etc.), no ability to subsitute things or ask for things to be left out (they will tell you no). Theoretically this is supposed to make it all go faster, since one of the common complaints with the restaurant before was the slow wait time. My parents said they've been there a few times since the remodel and it was quick, but last night we went and it was not very fast, so makes me wonder whether the conceptual change accomplished what it was going for.Food is still good, I just don't feel strongly about it like I did back in the day. Partially because a lot of new, great restaurants have come into the area since the years when I frequented Asian Grill (~2013-2015ish)."

Huong Sizzling Wok

★★★★☆ 4.1 (132) • $$

"Wow!!! Yelp Fam! If y'all have not tried this beautiful small family owned business I HIGHLY n I mean HIGHLY recommend you to give this place a shot! Food is HOT, FAST, DELICIOUS, service is on POINT! The bubba teas are to die for! Without a doubt coming back!!!"

Sichuan Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (156) • $

"Very average Chinese cuisine that won't offend you but definitely won't leave you impressed. I ate in store from their dinner menu and I think that results in better quality food than takeout, so look at other reviews for takeout disappointment! I thought everything was pretty good, and not a bad deal either. The crab rangoon was frankly heavenly. I ate 6 of them and could have eaten twice that without a second thought. Staff were nice and quick, they aren't there to mess around! I was pretty sad to see they haven't gotten their buffet back up and running since COVID. Based on what I saw, it appears they don't have intentions of going back to a buffet for quite a while, or ever."

Golden Dragon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (100) • $$

"We've been doing carryout from this family owned and operated restaurant for a long time. Golden Dragon went through several changes during the pandemic from being closed entirely, to carryout within the restaurant to pick up through an outdoor window where you weren't allowed inside the restaurant. They are now back to carryout being picked up inside the restaurant at the counter. Golden Dragon is located next door to the Marathon Gas Station/Village Pantry on the corner of Country Club and Crawfordsville Road. A few parking spaces are in front of the restaurant and spaces are only full for a couple minutes since this is carryout only with no dine in or delivery.Golden Dragon offers a lunch menu 7 DAYS A Week from 11:00am - 3:00pm for $6.75. They offer 29 different lunch options served with Pork Fried Rice or White Rice and choice of Soup (Egg Drop, Wonton or Hot & Sour Soup) or Egg Roll. Several items on their menu is automatically made hot but you can select any heat you prefer per dish. Just let them know when ordering.My favorite Appetizers are the Veggie Spring Rolls (2 per order), Crab Rangoon (5 or 10 per order) and the Steamed Dumplings (8 per order). Often I'll order the Steamed Dumplings or Crab Rangoon with a Spring Roll as my dinner.All of the soups are good from the Wonton, Chicken Rice, Chicken Noodle, Egg Drop, Hot & Sour or the House Special Soup. We've ordered all of them and it just depends on what we're hungry for at the time. The Soup can be ordered by the Pint or Quart. We always get the Quart so I'll have leftovers.One option we enjoy is called the Daily Special on the menu. It is much easier to understand on the menu but here goes. It is 5 meat options that can be ordered separately (called plain) or with 3 different additional side items. The Meat options are Three Wings ($4.95), Six Fried Jumbo Shrimp ($6.95), Ten Chicken Nuggets ($4.75), Ten Fried Scallops ($4.75) or Boneless Spare Ribs ($7.25). You decide if you want plain (just meat) or add one of the following sides of FF/Fried Rice, Chicken or Pork Fried Rice, or Beef or Shrimp Fried Rice. Each side dish price varies with the type of meat ordered. We like the Ten Fried Scallops with Shrimp Fried Rice which is just $6.75. Fried Scallops with FF/Fried Rice $5.25, Chicken or Pork Fried Rice $5.75 or Beef/Shrimp Fried Rice is $6.75. You get the idea. It is a lot of food with Ten Scallops and Shrimp Fried Rice. Sometimes my husband eats the Scallops and I have the Shrimp Fried Rice for just $6.75. Deal!The regular menu offers the standard Chinese options most Chinese restaurants offer but with a few twists. Most of the entrees can be ordered by Pint or Quart from Chow Mein/Chop Suey, Lo Mein, Chowder Mei Fun, Egg Foo Young to Fried Rice. Poultry, Pork, Beef, Seafood or Vegetable options are available as well. My husband orders the Pork Lo Mein most often, my son the Orange Chicken or Beef with Broccoli Combination.The Combination Plates offer 28 different options plus served with Fried Rice and Egg Roll for $8.95. The Chef's Specialities offer twelve options ranging from $10.95 - $14.95 and served with Fried or White Rice. A few of my favorites are the Four Seasons ($10.95) with Sautéed Shrimp, Chicken, Pork and Beef. The Happy Family ($13.75) is one of my top favorites with Jumbo Shrimp, Slices of Chicken, Lobster, Beef and Pork with assorted vegetables in a delicious brown sauce. My first choice is the Hunan Triple Crown ($13.75) with Scallops, Lobster, Jumbo Shrimp, Chicken fried with assorted vegetables in a Spicy Brown Sauce. I love spicy brown sauce on almost anything but they do have a White Sauce on the Seafood Combo ($14.75) if brown sauce isn't your thing.The carryout orders are usually correct including the sauces and rices. We often order several different entrees with appetizers and soups and it has been a very long time since we've had an error. The order is always packaged well in sturdy containers. It is your responsibility to pick up your own soy, sweet and sour and hot mustard sauce.We enjoy the food, polite staff, well packaged to go items and the fast service which will continue to bring us back."

Rice Cooker

★★★★☆ 3.6 (131) • $

"I was promptly greeted and asked if dining in or carrying put. I decided to dine in. Mostly carryout restaurant but has a nice small dining area. It was a little busy at the time so it took a few minutes to place my order because there was only one waitress. I ordered hot tea, crab ragoon and Kung Pao Shrimp with white rice. The crab ragoons were huge the filling was not good at all and had no crab and were flavorless. I received my order with fried rice and it took two attempts to get the white rice. My meal was just okay. The entrée was bland. There was no Pao to my dish. I asked for spicy and definitely was not. Didn't taste authentic, more cooked from frozen. I had plenty of food leftover but left unfulfilled. Although I was the only one in the restaurant at the time, I didn't see her again during my meal. At the end she appeared and asked for a to go box. Once she gave it to me I started writing and finished this review and decided she wasn't coming back. I stood up and she was behind me watching something on her phone and eating! She was surprised to see me! Although lousy service I still tipped, less than normal!! Although I have a new place for mani/pedi, that's my first and last time at Rice Cooker!"

Long Thanh Chinese and Vietnamese Food

★★★★☆ 4 (106) • $

"Listen this place is a hole in the wall, however for authentic Vietnamese or Chinese cuisine look no further. + the price point is absolutely insane. The food is tasty & always prepared hot/fresh. The owner is very nice & accommodating. Anyone who loves pho this is where I will send them."

Asia Wok - Brownsburg

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (142) • $$

"This was my first visit to Asia Wok. I stopped in for lunch on a Friday while in town.I was ordering take out so I ordered at the counter. If you are eat in you can just have a seat and a waitress will come to your table. I did the lunch special. I ordered the beef and broccoli. It came with 2 side and I went with the egg roll and plain lo mein. The beef was pretty tender and the sauce had a great flavor to it. The broccoli was cooked just right and still had a bit of a crunch to it. The lo mein was a bit oily but tasted fine. And the egg roll... well it was tiny! I have never seen an egg roll that small. I would have liked to have a couple of them but portion control! Overall the food was good. It was about 30 minutes before I could eat and I will definitely go back."

China Wok

★★★★☆ 3.8 (112) • $

"We enjoy this Chinese take out restaurant! Excellent choices from appetizers through the entrees. So many great choices and they are very quick from the time you place the order to pickup! Our orders have never been incorrect! The people have a good process!"

Mr. Hibachi Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (167) • $$

"I've been coming into Mr Hibachi for years. Staff is all really helpful and attentive despite serving huge tables. I really like the buffet style for only around $15 for all you can eat lunch. My favorite things to get are the sushi, dumplings, and shrimps of all kind! It's awesome how much assortment they have, my entirely full plate didn't even have 1 of everything on it. Great variety of soups too! From egg drop, wonton, hot and sour + more. Didn't even have room for the dessert buffet!"

King Dragon

★★★★☆ 3.7 (116) • $

"I didn't expect this place to be this good! It's great, actually. And the "New York Style" claim on their menu is pretty damn accurate. Having visited New York City well over 100 separate times throughout my life (and eaten upwards of 1000 restaurant meals there, about half of those being some kind of Asian cuisine) - I will attest. This mom & pop Indianapolis wok kitchen has skills! Their food is always well-seasoned, hot, and generously-portioned which makes it an amazing value. And their homemade hot chili oil ($1) is really potent. It's beautiful. If you order your food 'extra spicy' they don't charge you $1. They only charge you if you ask for the oil on the side.The leading indicators on whether I deem a Chinese take-out restaurant worthy of even trying is the color of their fried rice (even though I don't typically order it). If it's yellow, I'm out. If it's light tan, I'm in. Same with the Lo Mein: if it's yellow, I'm out. If it's light tan, I'm in. Easy peasy. I trust my process. Both items at King Dragon are light tan. Check and check!Ridiculously reasonable lunch specials in the six-dollar range come with a can of soda. This is eat-here-every-day pricing. I haven't been, but then again I don't live here and I've been frequenting a bunch of different places (like K Town Hot Pot and Cafe Patachou).Literally everything I've ordered has been delicious and as I would receive from the average Canal Street Chinatown wok shop in NYC. Indianapolis shouldn't sleep on this fact. They very well might as there are some super country folks around these parts."

China Garden Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (88) • $

"What a friendly place! When we walked in the hostess was so cheery and helpful and welcomed us profusely. It was a fun start to our meal!There menu is rather extensive so if you don't know much about Chinese food I suggest a google search while perusing the menu, or asking the waitress. The room is small but has plenty of booths and tables and is tastefully decorated with Chinese lanterns and fans.A fried dough with sauce was brought out to us as a free appetizer which was nice. They have lunch specials for a good price but you can order anything off the menu all day.I got the vegetable delight lunch special which came with my choice of soup, an egg roll, rice and the veggies in a sweet sauce. Not knowing much about Chinese food I might try for something more 'exotic' next time but this was flavorful and filling. The egg drop soup was a bit thick for me, but it had nice flavors. The veggies were crisp and a variety which I loved. Others got beef moo shu and loved it. And now that I know what might be a good option I'll try veggie moo shu next time.All in all a very fun dining experience and very casual, with a lot of options! I'd go back and try something else next time just to expand my tastebuds!"

Happy Kitchen & Sushi bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (118) • $$

"We've dined at Happy Kitchen several times over the years, as well as gotten carryout, and all experiences have been positive. The first time we dined in, we thought it odd that a Japanese restaurant was playing country music. But the food was so good! Sushi presentation is on point and the staff is always friendly. This will remain one of our local sushi go-tos."

Dragon House Chinese Eatery

Food King

★★★★☆ 3.7 (100) • $

"I decided to treat myself to some Chinese food for dinner at Food King. This is a small Chinese takeout place in a strip mall off of E 86th street, but I ordered through Uber Eats. I have driven past the restaurant and looked inside, and does not appear to be much impressive ambiance wise from the outside. As far as the food is concerned, it is decent and tastes good. I ordered the crab ragoons since it was a buy one, get one free special through Uber Eats, and the sweet and sour chicken. The crab ragoons were delicious, but nothing to write home about to your parents. The sweet and sour chicken is the same, but tasted great. This was definitely comfort food and Food King delivered that to me with great expectations. If you are looking for simple Chinese food for a nice dinner, Food King is the place to go to for your needs and wants. If you are looking to have your mind blown away with an incredible meal, then I would advise you take your money elsewhere. You will not get that at Food King."

Tian Fu

★★★★☆ 4.1 (74) • $$

"We happened upon this place when looking for a place to eat for dinner. It is located in the old Bob Evans near 465 and Franklin Rd on E. Washington St. All the old seating is still in place inside. We were sat right away, with only a few other tables occupied. Our server was very friendly and attentive. He was able to explain things on the menu and came to check on us several times. The menu is pretty extensive, with lots of options. The portions are large and everything tastes great. The best part is the BellaBot that brings your food out to you. It is a talking robot kitty!The only dissapointment was the fortune cookies. While they tasted great, the "fortunes" inside were more like proverbs, not fortunes. They have seated tables and also a sushi bar at the front. They serve chinese dishes, soups, appetizers, sushi, and desserts. We all had plenty of food to take home as leftovers. We will definitely be back!"

Bamboo

"They serve delicious general Tso chicken with just enough spice. Personally I like a bit of zing to my meal although some family members find it too much. The food is prepared on time from when they say it will be ready and it's always fresh."

Daily Buffet & Grill

"Great selection of foods. Fast paced and everything for a nice, quick meal. Came here for Sunday brunch with family and the foods were very tasty and freshly made. Service was good. Our sever was attentive and kept our drinks refilled. Not a bad price for the foods you get. Sushi and grill are included in buffet price. Can order carry out if preferred"

China Wok

★★★★☆ 4.4 (53) • $

"Driving back to Indy I found myself on west hwy 40 and was starving. Chinese sounded good, and Yelp came to my rescue with China Wok in Plainfield. I called ahead for takeout and the gentleman who answered took my order quickly and efficiently. I was quoted 15 minutes for pick up, and it was ready timely. I arrived and a man behind plexiglas retrieved my order and cashed me out (pro tip: to go condiments are directly behind you as you're standing at the counter). It appeared to be a busy place, as I could see several people cooking in the back with large woks. The small restaurant was steamy! My bean curd with mixed vegetables and hot & sour soup both smelled great all the way home. Once I got in the door, I couldn't wait to try the soup. It was still hot, and as flavorful as any H&S I've had but there was just a hint of a different taste. Not bad, but almost a processed flavor, like soup that comes from a can. Not saying this is the case, but it's the best way I can describe the flavor. Nonetheless it was still good. My bean curd (tofu) dish was different that what I was used to as well. At other restaurants I've had the same dish with a clear sauce. This dish had a brown sauce...it was not unpleasant, but more oily that I was used to. Again, perhaps just a difference in interpretation. Nonetheless, the portions were large for the price and this meal easily made 2 servings. CW was worth trying and all in all a quick, decent take out meal."

Side Wok Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (79) • $

"In the strip center along with other nice lunch spots. This was my first time in and I am happy! Covid measures has them covering up the order window with plastic, but the dining area is open. It looks like most of the business here is carry out. I didn't call ahead and I didn't have to wait long. I could here him cooking everything as I was his only customer and he was alone too I think. The hot and sour soup is excellent! Lots of ingredients and a nice rich broth. My wife's favorite soup and they really do it up good. The crab ran-goons were on special today and they were devious. The fried vegetables and rice was really good too! Lots of options to explore next time, but I might just try the special of the day. Looks like they have one every day!"

Chen's Wok

★★★★☆ 3.8 (69) • $

"My sister and I decided to get Chen's Wok last week and it was such a great decision. We called ahead and ordered carry-out. We called and they said it would be about 20-25mins. We arrived 20 minutes later and it was ready to eat! Walking in they are still adhering to all COVID precautions which is great to see! I paid and walked right out with my food - took all of 3 minutes!My sister and I ordered quite the smorgasbord from here and we were not disappointed at all. We got an order of Vegetable Low Mein, Sesame Chicken, General Tso's Chicken which came with White Rice and an order of Crab Rangoons. We both shared everything and it was all very good. The food was warm, the noodles were soft and their was a distinct difference in taste between the two types of chicken -- I think sometimes at other places they can run too close together. I think that the amount of food that we got for the price we paid was pretty equal. ALSO 6 Crab Rangoons come in an order. I will definitely be going back here again as you get a lot of food, it's very good and fairly priced!"

Yamato Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (54) • $$

"Good food, good prices, pleasant service, dated setting. While dining here, I noticed most of the lunch crowd got their food to go. But since I had been in my car most of the day, I wanted to get out. So, I placed an order for gyoza (6 small pork dumplings) and the Teryaki Chicken Bento Box which comes with a choice of soup or salad (Egg drop soup for me).The soup was lighter in color and maybe a bit thinner than other soups I've had elsewhere, but the flavor was full of egg (and a bit of salt). The gyoza was next and came with a dipping sauce. The plate was colorfully presented with shredded carrot ribbons in the pinwheel center. Nice balance of crispy outside and tender inside. Good flavor!The bento box contained a single, but large, crabmeat rangoon, a 4-pc California roll, about a cup of mixed rice, and a decent lunch sized portion of chicken and veggies prepared in a thin Teryaki sauce. The chicken was a little bit overcooked, but not enough to ruin the meal. The veggies were also thoroughly cooked beyond al dente.The service was efficient and got my food out and check processed so that all too soon, I was back on the road.Review #2246"
