ABC Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (661) • $$

"The food is delicious. The service is prompt and the ambience is very simple. This is a place where you want to go and order good Chinese food we've been there twice in the last month and will return again."

The Wheel Barrel

★★★★★ 4.5 (305) • $$

"In addition to popping up in my research of Topeka, The Wheel Barrel was also recommended by a local shop owner. We walked in and chose a seat at the far end of the first dining area. A table with a booth on the side against the wall, and chairs on the other side. We started with an appetizer of the House seasoned kettle chips and craft beer queso. It was goooood. The chips were SO good, we actually took the ones we didn't finish with us to go. Next, we ordered our sammiches. My wife chose the Award Winning Monte Cristo, and I went with The Kansan. My wife loved her sammich. But mine... well, mine left me momentarily speechless. The cheese pull was insane! Every single ingredient combined for an incredible flavor explosion in my mouth. Without a doubt one of the best sammiches I've ever had. Our waitress was very friendly and the service was fast. We were visiting from California, but would absolutely return to The Wheel Barrel the next time we visited Topeka."

Oishi Japanese Cuisine & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (259) • $$

"I will be the first to admit that I am not the best when it comes to Sushi. I have specific things I like and some common flavours that I just don't. Mango for one. And it is in so many sushi options! Urg! But, here we go...This place is fun. The interior is nicely appointed and not crowded. The location has a separate room for large parties that doubles for secondary dining. The bar runs along one side and entertains guest by rolling in front of them and there are TVs usually with the game on if that is what you desire. The booths are high-backed and give decent privacy so you are eating with your group and not the entire restaurant.My standard here is to get one regular sushi roll (Dinosaur) and one fried roll (Godzilla). Though I have had many others and find them all delicious for what they are. I can also recommend the Hibachi here but this place is Sushi-forward and suggest you go with the roll first if you can. And if you get the big group of sharers together all the better... because then you can get rolls and hibachi! Also getting a large amount of rolls they present it on a wooden ship which is kind of a fantastic experience.Very good job on all the extras too! The apps are extremely good and the soups are amazingly delicious!I'll be here so if you see me say hi!"

Tuptim Thai

★★★★☆ 4.2 (183) • $$

"I enjoy going here as it's close to my office. I'm pretty simple and get the Thai fried rice with chicken. It is very filling and great taste. Yes I like Thai hot and always get the stare lol. Staff is very friendly and quick to ensure you have what you need. Always enjoy the orient decor"

China Wok

★★★★☆ 3.6 (161) • $

"I tried China Wok for the first time and enjoyed all the food. Everything tasted great. The only item that needed more flavor was the fried rice.The fried rice was pretty bland tasting. I would suggest adding egg to the rice and some teriyaki for flavor. I would go back and grab a meal again."

Lucky Dragon Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (112) • $

"When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by a tall man near the front door. There was a worker, mopping the floor, and I could see and smell how clean the place was. I let the greeter know I wanted to place a to-go order and he showed me to a menu and a place to sit down to be comfy while I reviewed my food options. Everyone was super friendly right off the bat. I placed my order and did not have to wait long for my food. The same man who greeted me was the one who gave me my food, and he wished me a fond farewell and told me to stay warm on this cold evening. The service alone is what will bring me back to this place. It smelled so good in the car that I wished I had a fork and someone else was driving so I could start tasting it on the way home. Finally, I was home and able to dish up. My daughter tasted hers first. "So good!', she proclaimed. After my first bite I agreed. Restaurant has plenty of seating in the dining area. If you're in Northtown during lunchtime, you should stop in and try the buffet. I could see that it's a very large buffet and there must be lots of options. They also offer delivery."

China House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (80) • $

"I previously lived in Lawrence (roughly 8 years ago) & this was my favorite Chinese place in all of Lawrence. Mostly because it was super tasty but also because they served large portions at a cheap price. Yummy & affordable, a broke college students dream.While visiting Lawrence this weekend, we decided to be lazy on Sunday night & order chinese. I was super excited to see that China House was still operating. But even more excited when we got our food & I discovered it tasted the exact same as it did 8 years ago. Hallelujah! The shop itself is unassuming. It's just your typical Chinese restaurant inside a strip mall. It's definitely not a place you go for a fancy dinner. But, if you're looking for a great tasting, affordable meal with a generous portion. This place is it!"

Penguin's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (69)

"Tried this restaurant based on positive reviews from a couple of friends.I we had crab wontons for an appetizer which were great and I ordered orange chicken for my entree. It was probably the best orange chicken I ever had and the portion was big enough that I had left overs for lunch the next day."

Top Soup Yunnan Noodle

★★★★☆ 4.2 (36)

"Top Soup Does NOT Play! So Happy We Came! My Husband And I Popped In On A Wednesday At Peak Dinner Time And To Our Surprise, We Were The Only Customers! The Ambience Looks Like It Would Be Alot If Fun! It Has A Bar, Open Grill And Lots Of Space For Seating And Hosting. I Know They Are New To The Area And Im Sure They Would Like More Traction. The Food Though SO SO SO GOOD! I Ordered The Top Soup Special With Spicy Soup And Goodnesssss! YES! The Spicy Added So Much Dimension Of Flavor And Really Kicked It Up A Notch! I LOVED IT! The Pork Buns Were Yummy Too! I Would Say 10/10 To Top Soup! I Can't Wait To Return And I Know Their Success Will Keep Growing!"

Wing Lee Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (42) • $

"This is a small family owned place that is dated inside and out. First impression might cause you to think it's a little sketchy. I have been multiple times, and every time the food on the buffet is really fresh and hot. The quality is surprisingly good.It does seem to have less flavoring and spice than some other Chinese places, but if you like less spice this may be your perfect spotThere are not a lot of options on the buffet, but when the food is prepared continually in small portions so it stays fresh it didn't bother me not having more choices.Since it's close and convenient I will continue to go. If I was not close, I probably would never go out of my way to eat here."

China Garden

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (121) • $$

"We were able to walk right in and we sat ourselves at our table. They had a nice variety of options fried & steamed rice. Different chicken, beef and shrimp options other things I just can't name it all. A hibachi Station and sushi. It was several families there but it was not even loud at all."

Taste of China

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (38) • $

"It's average Chinese food. Quick and friendly. We did take out and it is pretty good for the price. The egg rolls seemed to need a little more time in the fryer they were cold inside. The egg drop soup was excellent. The orange chicken was decent but the rice was a little crunchy. I think it was just an off night in the kitchen. We will try it again."

China 88

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (33) • $$

"My favorite non buffet Chinese takeout in the metro. I live in Olathe but anytime I am in Lees Summit I try to stop here. Love the General Taos Chicken and the Crab Rangoon. It's a small lobby, nothing fancy but the food is always fresh, hot, and my meal is never soggy, the chicken stays crisp for the duration of the meal."

Rae's Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (18)

"Delicious food for a great value. Staff was amazing, our waitress was in her 2nd day and if we asked something she didn't know she would go find the answer. Family friendly environment, many locals which we loved. Plan to return!"

Tequileros Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (15)

"Very impressed does not do it justice. From the welcoming greeting as we walked in to the chips and salsa (not salted - perfect for those of us with high blood pressure!) - my asada chimichanga was perfect. Good quality steak, cooked perfectly. My spouse had the steak platter and the steak again was top quality. We ended with flan. Perfect for my taste. Not overly sweet. Now the extras that nobody else notices: a disabled couple came in and was seated at a table near the front of the restaurant. So many tones we eat out and see a hostess put disabled people in the back of a restaurant. When they left, the manager opened the emergency exit so they could have a closer exit to the parking lot. I appreciate people caring for elderly and disabled people."
