10 Best Chinese Restaurants in Anaheim
I lived in Anaheim for 8 years and there were so many cold, rainy days (especially in January and February) when Chinese food would just hit the spot.
It’s also a go-to for us whenever we’re sick.
These first 2 recommendations were our regular spots we’d go to 99% of the time that we’d want Chinese food.
The rest are popular spots for locals and visitors, especially the ones in the local food halls like the Anaheim Packing District.
1. Mayflower Dumpling Express
Location: 401 S Magnolia Ave, Anaheim, CA 92804
Mayflower Dumpling Express is my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant in Anaheim.
One of my favorite dishes is the XLB, which is an 8 piece pork soup dumpling.
Another favorite is the Mini Buns.
These are 6 piece pork buns that you can get pan-fried or steamed.
2. Ma’s Dumpling House
Location: 627 N Euclid St, Anaheim, CA 92801
Ma’s Dumpling House has a massive menu of pretty much every type of Chinese dish you could think of.
Of course they’re known for their homemade dumplings and I highly recommend their Juicy Pork Dumplings.
They have a variety of other dumpling options here too like Chinese Leek and Pork, Lamb and Onion, Shrimp and Pork, Fish, and Vegetable Dumplings.
I also highly recommend their Orange Chicken with a side of rice.
3. Jo Won Noodle House
Location: 928 N Euclid St, Anaheim, CA 92801
Jo Won Noodle House has a lot of Szechuan style dishes like cabbage soup, eggplant, shredded pork, beef, chicken, scallops, and fish fillet.
If you like wings, you can get a 12, 16, 25, or 50 piece order of fried wings.
4. 18 Folds
Location: 430 S Anaheim Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92805
18 Folds is a modern, Chinese fusion restaurant.
The restaurant setting is beautiful with its lantern lights .
Boba cocktails are a popular menu option, and there are alcohol-free mocktail options as well.
Hot Honey Fried Chicken is a popular dish served with steamed buns where you build your dish yourself.
So you can add whichever sauces, glazes, garlic, pickles, etc to perfect your fried chicken steamed bun.
Lastly, Spicy Shrimp Wontons are the perfect appetizer for those who enjoy spicy food.
5. Ho-Toy’s Chinese Food
Location: 734 S State College Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92806
Ho-Toy’s is an Asian Fusion restaurant in Anaheim.
They offer all the classic Chinese dishes you would expect to see.
An interesting menu item I’m looking forward to trying on my next visit is the Egg Flower Soup.
What’s nice about their menu is you can create your own quick plate with 1, 2, or 3 item combos.
So you don’t have to try to choose just one thing!
6. China Kitchen
Location: 1830 W Lincoln Ave, Anaheim, CA 92801
China Kitchen serves fresh Chinese food using locally sourced ingredients.
Their menu offers classic Chinese dishes, plus the Americanized dishes.
They have over 50 locations around the US, including 5 in California.
We don’t normally highlight chain restaurants that you can “get anywhere”, but these locations are so spread out and in smaller areas, that we feel this place still has a local feel to it.
7. Lantern Garden
Location: 170 W Lincoln Ave, Anaheim, CA 92805
Lantern Garden offers all the classic Chinese dishes, plus combo meals so you don’t have to choose just one.
Their most popular menu items include Orange Chicken, Chicken Wings, Chicken Chow Mein, and Vegetable Egg Rolls.
8. China Wall
Location: 2241 W Ball Road, Anaheim, CA 92804
China Wall is actually our neighborhood classic Chinese restaurant.
You get very generous portions at a very reasonable price.
Some reviews even claim that this is THE best Chinese food in all of Orange County.
9. China King
Location: 3456 W Lincoln Ave, Anaheim, CA 92801
China King serves fresh Chinese food daily.
They are one of the few Chinese restaurants I’ve come across that also provide nutritional info on their dishes, which can be quite important for some, especially those with health issues.
They have a large menu with pretty much everything you could think of – soup, fried rice, lo mein, chow mein, mei fun, egg foo young, combination plates, and chef specialties.
10. Rolling Boil
Location: 440 S Anaheim Blvd, Unit 103, Anaheim, CA 92805
Rolling Boil is a Chinese restaurant at the Anaheim Packing District, which is a popular local food hall.
Rolling Boil is a hot pot restaurant with a twist.
If you love spicy food, ask for their ghost pepper extract drops.
For beer lovers, they also have Asian craft beers.
