The Most Scrumptious Chinese in Memphis

Pad Thai Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (493) • $$

"Wow, a hidden GEM! Amazing and authentic Thai/Laos cuisine. Drunken noodles and pad Thai noodles were some of the best I've ever had! They were so so flavorful and juicy and I was so impressed. Every bite was amazing. On the drunken noodles, they put fresh cucumbers on top and I really enjoyed that. If you like crab rangoons, you have to get them here! They're in a thin wrapper fried but the filling is so smooth and tasty. Also one of the best crab rangoons I've ever had! They do have bacon in them and thats probably the special ingredient. I also go the shrimp Tom yum soup and they give big pieces of shrimp. The Tom Yum was delicious, hot and a little sour, lots of lemongrass."

Sushi Train

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (434) • $$

"I love the concept! Truly the best way to do All You Can Eat style sushi out there, I wish it was more present in other areas of the country (especially in my hometown), but I really enjoyed having this experience while I was visiting Nashville.For the uninitiated, conveyor belt style eating is done by pulling small plates off a conveyor belt that is continuously moving throughout the dining room. Patrons usually sit around a circular or oval shaped bar, but sometimes you see the conveyor belt meandering all over the place. They can be covered or uncovered, I really appreciated that the conveyor belt at Sushi Train was covered! Much more sanitary. In non-AYCE situations, your plate color corresponds to a price, the staff simply total up your plates.At sushi train, it appears there is an option to go a la carte, but at 25 bucks, I don't understand why you wouldn't go for the all you can eat option unless you just want a snack. Also, the conveyor belt is massive, centrally located to the restaurant and diving in and out or rows of seats. It's a large place, great layout, and the staff works hard to keep it stocked.As much as I loved the format, I will say that most of the sushi I ate was just OK and there were a couple that I didn't like. I did like that not just rolled sushi was circulating, but also nigiri, appetizers, cold salads, and desserts. Your waitress would also take special requests from you for anything you saw on the menu but not on the belt, included in the price!All in all, even if the sushi itself was pretty average, this place gets a 5 from me for their superior style of service, and a format that allows me to try small portions of a great variety of foods, as opposed to committing to large rolls limiting what I can try. I would definitely come back and bring friends!"

China Cottage Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (227) • $$

"China Cottage is in a word "great." We had the General Tso chicken and fried rice. The ingredients are of high quality, and the preparation is done right. The General Tso breading was light, the chicken was a good quality white meat. Sauce was flavorful with a bit spice. Not thick and sugary and seems like it came directly out of can that you get at similar types of restaurants.Fried rice was plentiful and had a good flavor. As did the hot tea.Service was attentive, fast, and they seemed to actually enjoy being there, and helping. We were genuinely invited back and encouraged to try other items on the menu us because they are all good. And we believe them.Prices are reasonable, and they don't nickel and dime you. Entrees are around 12-14 on average. Hot Tea was $1.65. Menu selection has all classics you find in any Chinese restaurant which caters to a western customer.China Cottage just became our go to for Chinese food."

Mosa Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (237) • $$

"Dinner was amazing!!! We loved Mosa! The service was very attentive, dinner was delicious and the atmosphere was welcoming."

Sora

★★★★☆ 3.7 (197) • $$

"I can only say terrific things about this Asian fusion restaurant. We went for Thai and the waitress and staff were so nice and accommodating! My mom and I are vegan, so we enjoyed the Miso soup, Spring rolls, and the Thai basil vegetable rice dish with tofu. We had enough leftovers for lunch the next day! Go try Sora. They do not disappoint."

Asia Garden Chinese & Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (163) • $$

"WOWThe most amazing , fresh Chinese food you will find in Jackson , Absolutely perfect from the rice , vegetables and the pork."

East Meets West

★★★★☆ 4.3 (111) • $$

"Like others, this is our go-to Chinese restaurant in the area. I believe the owners are Taiwanese as there are a ton of Taiwanese style dishes on the menu. Speaking of which, we've never had any of the American style Chinese dishes on the menu so if that's your thing, I can't help with that. But their traditional ("authentic") dishes are all quite good... and not just Memphis good either. This food could stand up to any city in America.We've been there several times at this point. My favorites are the Taiwanese "snacks": fried pork chop or chicken over rice, pork over rice, etc. Also love their pork meatballs, pork and taro dish, pickled cabbage soup, singapore noodles, etc...I suspect there's not a bad dish on the menu. Service-wise... I'm not a fan. Same with the general ambiance (long waits while they service take-out, host watching tv while we eat, etc.)... It's unprofessional. But the food... you gotta love it."

King Mao

★★★★☆ 4 (109) • $

"Tried this based on reviews. Food was decent. The crab Rangoon was graciously filled, the sauce was more of an orange tasting sauce that we didn't care for. The house lo mein was saturated in soy sauce - super salty. General tso was way to sweet. Wings were ok- the breading was different than I'm used to. We ordered a lot of food & the guy chased us down in the parking lot because they left out the lo mein from our bag. They would've gotten 5 stars- but I had to deduct for the sweet tso sauce & saturated lo mein. Egg drop soup was really nice!"

New Asia Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (137) • $$

"We went for Dim sum. The steamed oyster were huge and delicious. Shrimp stuffed eggplant was delicious with a pepper sauce. You have to try the fried tofu with Yum Yum sauce. it's my new favorite. Fried shrimp balls were big and delicious. If you had ever gone to the old Asian Palace you will love this place."

Mulan Bistro

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (162) • $$

"Def the best Chinese food in the Collierville / Germantown area. Always voted one of the best every year. Ate here again tonight at the restaurant ( rather than take out). Had a great time , good food... everything is always fresh made even the wonton soup. Fast, friendly, clean and always a slightly better vibe than your average Chinese restaurant. Also, portions are large ! We took half of the food home for tomorrow These guys also do great sushi, Thai food and really great teas and fruit drinks."

Best Wok Chinese

★★★★☆ 3.5 (134)

"Well, it isn't perfect...but I think we found our local Chinese delivery spot! After an exhaustive and disappointing search as transplants, Best Wok has stepped into the top spot for us...at least on our end of town! We ordered recently and the whole process, delivery and food were all top notch. Our order consisted of wonton soup, sesame chicken and house lo mein...all absolutely delicious! Wonton soup is normally the item I judge a spot off of and I am super pumped that Best Wok has some great wonton soup! The broth is flavorful, the dumplings are in copious and packed full! The egg roll was a true egg roll and not a spring roll, which is great! Apparently mixing those two up is a thing for a few spots around here. Sesame Chicken was great, sauce was sticky, smooth and tangy and the rice was pork fried, which is a nice touch. And finally the Lo Mein was solid! Delivery, while expensive due to the fees, was quick...arrived 15 minutes ahead of schedule! I think next time we may try pick up to avoid the fees as our $22 order quickly became $38. Overall, super pumped to have found Best Wok! We will certainly be enjoying grub from here for as long as are in this area of Nashville!"

China Spring

★★★★☆ 4.2 (89) • $

"I love this spot. It's quick and right by the house. We always order the Chicken fried rice, Crab Rangoon and i recently got my bf the house lo mein and he devoured it. Kept calling it the "brown spaghetti" lol. If you haven't tried them. You should. The portions are plentiful and the food always tastes great."

A-Tan Chinese Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (135) • $$

"Good service, good food, and clean. Good lunch specials. Opens at 11. The place is kind of hidden in the back of a shopping center."

Phó Só 8

★★★★☆ 4 (96) • $

"This place is the epitome of a great small business that caters toward their customer. Authentic taste, Genuine care, and fantastic ambiance is just to name a few things that makes this place a hidden gem. BEST PHO IN MEMPHIS. Hands down. I will be back"

AM Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.7 (109)

"Still open, but for take out and delivery only. No dine-in available. We ordered a ton of food for only $35 with tip, nice. The food was flavorful, but nothing was amazing. The highlights we're the pork low mein and the Mongolian beef. The Mongolian beef had great flavor, but not enough beef! It was 50/50 onions to beef. The low mein was great, lots of textures and surprisingly light. Don't forget the veggie springs roll, always a must order! Only a couple of low lights to the meal. The fried rice seemed old and dried out and General Tso's chicken was basically orange chicken. Still had good flavor, but zero heat. AM Chinese Food is one-hundred percent worth another try, but next time we'll sample a few different menu items."

Red Fish Sushi Asian Bistro

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (153) • $$

"Food is always real good. Egg drop soup can't be beat. Sushi is fresh and proportionate to the roll. The boat seating is the best but booth and back area are nice as well. Our server Kendall was real nice and helped with menu suggestions and taste profiles. Would definitely come back (and ask for her)"

Royal Panda Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (113) • $$

"Went for lunch and enjoyed it. It is an older restaurant and has that feel. The food was good and well worth the price. The service was superb."

Chow Time Buffet & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (116) • $$

"Okay so first off- this is not my plate.....a colleague raves about this place having delicious food. So myself and two other colleagues placed an Uber eats order. I ordered a General Tso chicken- which was plentiful but not appetizing (to me) but I did give it to someone who enjoyed it and said it was delicious (I didn't get a chance to take a pic of it). The pieces of chicken were gmo huge. The spicy was too sweet for my liking.My colleague ordered a two-meat entree (I think that is what it is called) her order consists of Hog Maws (did I spell/say it right?) and pig feet... I'm not sure which is which in the photo but when I tell you she left nothing but BONEZ (not bones) that was all that was left along with the rice... apparently, they did not give her "rice & gravy" as she requested. She said the coleslaw was good but it doesn't look like it has any seasoning JMO.... I decided to post this review for those who considered eating here for pig feet/ hog maws....."

Wang's Mandarin House

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (121) • $$

"Excellent wonton soup and their specialties are worth checking out. The triple harvest and General Tso's chicken are our favorites"

Keriyaki Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4 (76) • $$

"Food was pretty good- sushi was better than our entrees or appetizers! Customer service was okay but they seemed busy in a Friday night! They also give you sugared donuts as a dessert which was a nice touch."

Petals of a Peony

★★★★★ 4.6 (57)

"All I can say is wowwwwwww! This was my first time eating sichuan Chinese food and I will say it did not disappoint. This is a great addition to the midtown area and I will def be back to try different items. I got the Spring rolls. They came out so fresh crispy and steaming hot! It lacked a little bit in flavor but still good. That cumin beef!! SHOW STOPPER! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. And it was spicy but not unbearable! I'm telling you get this! You won't be disappointed! It is very well decorated and the servers are so nice and helpful! Can't wait to be back."

Nine Dragons

"Our Christmas dinner was from here this year as we were celebrating family style the following day. My nephew went to do the pickup so I never saw the place. The food however was pretty good. We all kind of shared entrees and I think my favorite were the veggies and their crab Rangoon. Larger servings and you can actually choose from two different sized on their fried rice meals. Everything appeared fresh and tasty. My brother's family all had good things to say about this place and the family that runs it. Only down side is since we were celebrating the next day we never finished the left overs."

China Buffet & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (96) • $

"Hubby and I arrived at 11:00 for lunch, shortly after they opened. The buffet was completely stocked, everything looked very fresh and appetizing. I tried small bites of many different options, and 90% was just plain bland and under seasoned. Pepper steak, blah, spicy pork, ehh no, baked salmon, over cooked until it turned almost white, pork dumplings, tasted gummy and raw. The seafood surprise was good, it appeared to be seafood and I hope I don't get a surprise later! The kitchen area was very loud. We were seated all the way across the restaurant, in a booth by the farthest wall, and the yelling in the kitchen very audible. Not too sure I'll come back."

Yang's Deli

★★★★☆ 4 (64) • $

"From the outside, it doesn't look great and is kind of in a remote part of the city. But don't be fooled by outside appearances, this place is amazing.It's quick, cheap, good fast Chinese food. I've been going to Yang's for almost a decade, and it's always been consistently good with no frills or gimmicks. Most recently, I got three combo meals (lo mein, general tso's, and veggies) and they all came with rice and egg rolls. It totaled to less than $30. And we had plenty of left overs. They do have their own parking space and room to eat inside."

Formosa Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (74) • $$

"Great Chinese restaurant love the springs rolls they are the best in town, make sure you order the sweet and sour sauce on the side. Their chicken fried rice is also good and they give a generous portion. Friendly staff and if you order Togo your food will be packaged nicely and there is hardly any waiting time."

HK wok

★★★★☆ 4 (60) • $$

"Hands down the BEST Chinese food in town. First and foremost, understand that this is NOT a buffet. So, if you're looking for a Chinese food trough, look somewhere else! But really, please don't because you'll be passing up the best Chinese food around!Everything is made fresh to order, using real, fresh ingredients. You can taste the difference! I'm pretty sure that at this point, my family and I have tried everything on the menu and we've never encountered anything we didn't like. EVERYTHING is good. If lo mein is your thing, this is the best. If sweet and sour chicken is your thing, this is the best. Literally, everything on the menu is the best in town!The staff is so incredibly warm, inviting, and friendly. You are treated like family. There's absolutely nothing negative to be said about HK Wok! If you've never tried it, please do. Just call ahead because there are certain days they are closed."

New Dragon Phoenix

"Very good food today. Great selection of food, just not in the desserts (which I don't need anyway).Came here with my sister Donna who's here for a visit. We wanted a Chinese Buffet and it didn't disappoint."

Cafe India

★★★★★ 4.5 (45)

"I definitely recommend this place. The food was delicious. I really enjoyed it. You got to like Indian food and I love Indian food. This was all good quality. Hot food. The service was awesome for this to be a family-owned business. They helped me with what I would like to eat, and help me order and kept my water full. Hey made sure if I needed any dessert or anything I wanted they were there for me. And the ambience can be romantic. You come at the right time of the day is quiet. It's peaceful. You and your lady can sit there and have some wine they do look like a full bar to me. It's good I can't beat this place. The price is up okay for where they are in Niagara Falls."

Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (123)

"I always come to Hibachi Grill and get my order to-go because they charge you by the weight of the to go box which is super cheap! I always get the same thing (as pictured) and it is delicious every time I get it. During the week is the best time to go because the weekends are hectic and you have to wait for them to bring certain foods out."

Jiang Jun

★★★★☆ 3.7 (65) • $

"Got take out while traveling through Jackson. We tried a few things from the Chinese side of the menu, but they also have a pretty extensive Japanese menu. Overall we thought the food was just mediocre. Ok for a quick hotel dinner after a long day of travel, but nothing to specifically seek out. Veggie Delight: actual veggie portion was decent, but the sauce was a little too sweet for my liking. Came with fried rice, which was a little worse than average. Beef Udon: better than the chow mein. Chewy noodles. Pretty good! Beef Chow Mein: kind of artificial flavor and was extremely oily. Egg Drop & Wonton Soup: heavy MSG flavor and very thick. Be aware that the fried noodle bits seem to have some sort of nut (a member of our party had an allergic reaction)."

Hunan Express

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (75)

"We've lived here over four years and regret only now discovering HunanExpress. We ordered online and used the drive through so I didn't notice if they are seating inside. We got Hunan tofu over fried rice and LoMein with tofu. Both dishes were quite similar, the biggest difference being one was over rice and one over LoMein noodles. They both were full of vegetables and somewhat milder in spice than I anticipated so I was glad I'd asked for hot chili oil on the side. Each entree was enough for two meals and under $7 each. The small cup of hot sour soup was also mild, but flavorful. All dishes were piping hot so ready to eat when we got home. We'll definitely be picking up dinner here again, especially since eating out now during the pandemic is proving difficult."
