Chopstick House

The Kung Pao chicken and crab rangoon keep regulars driving 25 minutes out of their way to this Wyoming strip-mall staple. Lunch specials come in under $10, portions run generous, and the fried rice earns repeat mentions across basically every order. Staff reportedly remember your usual.

Gaslight Kitchen Asian Cuisine

★ 4.7(426)· $$

The egg drop soup draws serious praise, and the sizzling rice soup has its own following on Wealthy St SE. A family dinner for four runs around $70-100, which splits the crowd: some find the freshness worth it, others leave feeling the portions don't match the price. The crab rangoon comes up in almost every review, for better or worse.

Char

★ 4.6(345)· $$

The Asian Duo tacos with steak and the wonton nachos with shrimp are the dishes people keep coming back for at this downtown fusion counter. Sajiya bowls (the lamb version gets consistent praise) round out a menu that swings between comfort and creativity. Prices are reasonable and the owners are often on the floor.

Phở Ánh Trăng Restaurant

★ 4.5(846)· $

The beef noodle soup with egg noodles is the longstanding local pick at this Eastern Ave Vietnamese-Chinese spot. Egg rolls pull consistent praise as a side, and the kitchen can handle large groups, having hosted at least one wedding tea ceremony. Pho runs 50% off some days, making the value hard to argue with.

Mr. Dragon sushi & Chinese eat

★ 4.7(102)

The tempura rolls and the Grand Rapids roll draw the most attention at this small family-run spot in Grandville. Fish is fresh and the prices are fair. Mostly takeout, but there are seats if you want to stay. Ask them to hold the mayo drizzle if you prefer your sushi straight.

China Max Express

★ 4.4(140)

The orange chicken here has a following, and a three-combo platter with a large drink runs around $16. China Max moved from Rivertown Mall to its own spot on Division, and the regulars followed. Four or five booths to sit at, portions are generous, and the kung pao chicken and crab rangoon come up repeatedly from longtime fans.

Soho Sushi

★ 4.3(695)· $$

The MI sushi roll and basil Thai fried rice get consistent praise, and the lunch all-you-can-eat at $15.99 is a genuinely solid deal. Dinner on weekends can stretch wait times well past an hour, so a weekday visit is the smarter call. The sweet potato tempura is worth ordering.

Great Lakes Chinese Restaurant

★ 4.3(564)· $

Lunch specials here clock in under $12 and come with a jumbo egg roll and crispy cream cheese wontons. The portions run large across the board, and the sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, and mai fun all get repeat mentions. A popular takeout stop in Wyoming with consistent food and fast service.

Beijing Kitchen

★ 4.3(399)· $

Singapore Noodles and shrimp mei fun have loyal fans who keep coming back, and the General Tso's chicken draws enough repeat mentions to call it a signature. Portions run generous and prices stay reasonable for a downtown sit-down spot. Takeout orders have been a regular habit for some reviewers over several years.

Jia Yuan

★ 4.3(202)· $

Beef with broccoli and dumplings are the repeat-order staples at this family-run takeout spot on Remembrance Rd. The dumpling dipping sauce has its own fan base. Containers packed so full they won't close shut is the standard.

First Wok Chinese Restaurant

★ 4.2(1,267)· $$

The fried rice comes out with a proper smoky char, and the egg drop soup runs thick with vegetables and shrimp. Portions are generous and the hand-breaded items are a recurring draw. Takeout is available and reviewers note orders are accurate and packaged well, though the refund policy has frustrated at least one customer.

Golden 28

★ 4.2(294)· $

The pho draws repeat customers from as far as Kalamazoo, and the Vietnamese coffee, described as rich and herbal, is worth ordering alongside it. Located on 28th St SW in Wyoming, the decor is plain and the room runs quiet, but the kitchen turns out consistently seasoned bowls. Portions skew small for the price, so go in knowing that.

China City

★ 4.1(579)· $

The fresh-made fried dumplings are the headline here, hand-formed and not the frozen kind you get elsewhere. Takeout is the move, with fast turnaround and portions that reviewers consistently call generous. The tofu with broccoli is confirmed fully vegan, sauces included.

Fu Garden

★ 4.1(249)· $

The orange chicken runs genuinely spicy, and the portions are large enough to stretch into a second meal. Orders are ready in 5-10 minutes, and the prices are low enough that even a full spread of crab Rangoon and egg rolls stays cheap. Counter service only, a handful of tables, and an open kitchen you can see straight through to the back.

Chuy’s Chinese And American Restaurant

★ 4.1(238)· $$

The Mongolian beef and breaded almond chicken are the repeat-order picks at this Wyoming strip-mall Chinese spot. Complimentary tea hits the table without asking, the room is plain but clean, and the lunch specials are priced to match. Recent reviewers flag some portion and freshness inconsistencies, but regulars drive 45 minutes to get back here.

My Kitchen

★ 4.1(182)· $

My Kitchen runs a split menu: familiar American-Chinese standards on one side, an authentic side worth exploring. Reviewers single out the scallion pancakes, lamb with cumin, and a house-made sweet and sour sauce that skips the canned shortcut. The orange chicken draws mixed opinions, so lean toward the authentic half.

Hong Kong Express

★ 4(407)· $

The steamed dumplings at Hong Kong Express have a following, with regulars noting the soft wrapping and well-seasoned filling. Honey chicken and sesame chicken get repeat mentions, and the $8.99 lunch special comes with crab rangoon and fried rice. Portions run large. Call ahead for pickup orders in the evening, as they tend to run behind.

RED BOWL | Chinese

★ 4(285)

Counter-order setup on Lake Dr SE, with a menu running from Bourbon chicken to Mongolian beef and Honey shrimp. Reviews are sharply split: one table raved about all three entrees, while others found the sesame chicken mostly breading and the crab rangoon bland. The gluten-free options draw specific complaints about unseasoned, flavorless meat.

China Chef Chinese Restaurant

★ 4(512)· $

The shrimp lo mein comes in a portion big enough to stretch across multiple meals, and the shrimp hold up well on their own. Recent reviews, though, paint a rougher picture: recurring complaints about food tasting stale and a dining room that needs attention. Worth a look for takeout if you've had luck here before, less so if you haven't.

Chicken N Eggroll

★ 3.9(183)· $

Egg rolls are the draw at this Wyoming strip-mall standout, with multiple reviewers calling them the best in the area. The American-Chinese menu covers familiar ground: Mandarin chicken, curry chicken, BBQ pork fried rice. A meal for two runs well under $50, though the reviews are mixed enough to set expectations accordingly.

Wei Wei Palace

★ 3.8(464)· $$

Cantonese dim sum is the draw at Wei Wei Palace, with carts circulating and dishes like Red Dates Chicken Feet and Hong Suey Tofu drawing regulars down to Division Ave S. The food earns genuine praise, including a reviewer who ranked the chicken feet above Chicago's Chinatown. Service has been a consistent sore point, though, so come with patience and a plan.

China City

★ 4.3(325)· $$

The egg roll here got one reviewer thinking about it for weeks, and the sweet and sour soup is a standout that's hard to find done well elsewhere. The filled buns are worth asking about even though they're not on the menu. Lunch portions are generous and delivery runs hot and fast.

China Buffet & Grill

★ 3.8(1,383)· $

The taco bar sitting alongside sushi and hot entrees tells you what kind of buffet this is: wide-ranging and priced to move on 28th St SW in Wyoming. Reviewers are split, with some praising fresh, hot food and others flagging temperature issues with sushi and proteins. The selection is genuinely broad, but consistency is a gamble.

Far East Chinese Restaurant

★ 4.1(201)· $

The Mi Xao Gion gets ordered twice by at least one returning customer, and the Lemongrass Chicken with noodles draws praise alongside Szechwan Chicken and Crab Rangoons. Portions run generous and prices come in lower than comparable spots in the area. The spice levels on marked dishes run mild, so ask for heat upfront if you want it.

Asian Garden Chinese Restaurant

★ 3.8(288)· $

The crispy shrimp at this Grandville Chinese takeout spot has at least one regular eating it "like popcorn." Fried dumplings and crab rangoons get consistent praise, and they were filling orders past 9 PM on a recent visit. Orange chicken and beef and broccoli round out a menu that hits more often than it misses.

China One Buffet

★ 3(720)· $$

China One Buffet in Grandville runs the full spread: meats, fish, vegetables, and a separate dessert station with cake, pudding, and self-serve ice cream. Recent reviews are rough, flagging cold food, empty buffet trays, and a "pay before you eat, no refunds" sign at the door. Worth knowing before you go.
