China Town

Great atmosphere, food is pretty good. Got the Hot and Sour Soup and was awesome. The BBQ pork bao had way too much dough, very little meat. But the Honey Glazed Chicken with Orange Zest was a hit. Definitely loved.

Hands down the best Chinese restaurant in El Paso. I’ve often felt disappointed by some of the other highly recommended spots (like Noodles and Dumplings), but this place is truly a gem. Our server, Kitzia, was incredibly friendly and gave us excellent recommendations. We had a small hiccup with one dish taking a little longer than expected, but honestly, it wasn’t an issue at all since it gave us time to slow down and enjoy everything else we ordered! The rest of the food came out quickly :) Don’t leave without trying the Singaporean street noodles. 10/10!

We came on a whim!! Well worth it! Family style servings!! So make sure if you order a lot be prepared to eat!! Our server bri!! Was awesome and very knowledgeable of the menu and gave great recommendations!! We have found a new spot to come eat!

Updated 01 February 2026: Sam, the manager, and Angel, our waitress, continued the awesome tradition of China Town excellence in their food and service. It was pretty awesome for Sam to point out the new chef special menu, and we were very pleasantly surprised by the sumptuousness of the Hong Kong Pork Chops. Wow, what a delicious bite every time! The Kung Pao Chicken remains ever reliable as a truly delicious main, accompanied beforehand by the Smashed Cucumber and Pork & Shrimp Dumpling appetizers and followed by the magnificent Fried Bananas with Vanilla Ice Cream. The Hugo Spritz was also amazing. Once again, thank you to Sam, Angel, and whole the China Town team for a truly delightful dinner experience. China Town is the best Chinese food experience in the Sun City by far. Happy Lunar New Year!! Updated 07 December 2025: Briana, our waitress, and Cecilia, our food runner, provided exemplary customer service with their recommendations and absolutely wonderful and caring mindset towards our dining experience. We ordered the honey chicken with orange zest and kung-pao chicken as our mains (forgot to take pictures because we were so hungry), and they were absolutely delicious. The fried bananas, Kinsen plum wine, and dragon tea were nothing to sleep on either, as they were fantastic for a Sunday night meal. Thank you to Briana, Cecilia, and the China Town team for a consistently excellent Chinese food experience here in the Sun City. Long may y’all flourish! Older review: China Town seriously upgraded their management, menu, customer service, and the quality of the cuisine is absolutely on point with the authentic vibes.

Great first time here. Atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. Our server Jasmine was great. She recommend some great mixed drinks that did not disappoint. We ordered an appetizer thinking it would be awhile till we got our main course but the service was so fast our food came out fast, hot and fresh. It was all delicious and we will definitely be back. We from the far east side of town and it was worth the trip.

Good food and atmosphere. We had the Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Vegan Spicy Wontons, Lo Mein, Chicken Fried Rice, Honey Glazed Chicken with Orange Zest, and Taiwan Oolong Hot Tea. The lo mein and the spicy wontons were great, excellent flavor.

I have procrastinated reviewing this place mightily. I do it now, begrudgingly, knowing this fine business deserves the accolades I'm about to give them. My hesitation is selfish. I don't want it to get more crowded than it is. The food, the service, and the atmosphere are phenomenal. I don't think you can get better Asian cuisine anywhere in El Paso. We went there for Christmas Eve and I've been there half a dozen times since. The curry is off the chain good. The spicy pork soup is amazing. The soup dumplings are to die for. I literally have not had a single bad dish from this restaurant. They're great. Writing this makes me hungry for more.

We absolutely love this place. The service is always amazing. When we walk in and and see either Ashley or Sujey as hostess we know we will be getting top notch service. We ask for Maria as our server everytime. She is phenomenal . She is knowledgeable and very friendly. She always has a smile on her face. The food is so delicious. The noodles are incredible. They are made in a true traditional method. The soup dumplings are divine. They are heavenly, in fact. The orange chicken is always a crowd favorite when we bring in guests from out of town. I highly recommend this place.

Okay, so this one was not planned -- we were actually out looking for an authentic tea house and accidentally stumbled upon Chinatown, and wow... what a find. I thought "Chinatown" was just the name of the plaza at first, but nope -- it's an actual restaurant, and a stunning one at that. This place sits in a gorgeous new plaza that's honestly a whole vibe on its own -- fitness studios, cute shops, great energy all around. Then you walk into Chinatown and it's like stepping into another world. Every room inside has its own experience. They've got an ambient, moody space that's perfect for date night, a lively family-style room with a big round table (you know, the kind that spins so everyone can share the dishes), and even a sleek bar area with a bold Bruce Lee mural that totally gives city-night energy. The decor is next level -- elegant but fun, elevated without feeling stuffy. You can tell they put thought into every detail, from lighting to layout. The staff? Impeccable. Everyone is polished, professional, and genuinely welcoming. You feel taken care of the second you walk in. We started with traditional tea served in a beautiful, heavy teapot -- exactly what we'd been searching for. It was rich, aromatic, and came out piping hot (the way I like it ). Their menu is full of vegan and vegetarian options that are clearly labeled -- love that -- and the food was so well done. The soup came out hot and perfectly seasoned, not overly salty or oily, and the bok choy was hands down some of the best I've ever had -- tender but still crisp. The cucumber salad? Absolute perfection. Cool, crunchy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was balanced, thoughtful, and fresh. It's Chinese food with a refined, slightly Sichuan-inspired edge -- familiar comfort with a more upscale twist. No greasy spoons here -- this is a true sit-down dining experience. There didn't seem to be outdoor seating, but honestly, with how gorgeous the interior is, I didn't miss it one bit. It's the kind of place you could bring anyone -- date night, family dinner, friend group outing -- and everyone would leave happy. Can't believe we found this spot by accident, but I'm so glad we did. Chinatown is officially one of the hidden gems of El Paso.

Another great visit to China Town. The kids picked this place to surprise their mother on her birth anniversary. It being a Monday early evening, we were seated quickly, which doesn't always happen at this popular West side spot. Liz started her meal with a delicious Blood Orange Margarita. The kids got their drinks and I went with the hot jasmine tea pot. Liz was gracious to allow all of us our choices on her special day. She ordered the spicy wontons. The kids ordered chicken and pork soup dumplings (1 each). I was impressed that the dumplings came out pretty quick, another perk of being a Monday night maybe? To eat we got a good mix of staples and new things. The kids love and ordered the honey glazed chicken with orange zest. I went with the Singapore noodles. The former was delicious. The Singapore noodles were good, but not the best I've had. Noah also ordered the pan fried dumplings - also tasty. Let's just say we left filled. Stephanie L was a fantastic server. She was quick and caring. She noticed Liz's birthday tiara and made sure to give the birthday girl all her due. We were in and out. We had a another great experience and we are looking forward to our return. Recommend.

We've now been to Chinatown twice together (I've been here a couple of more times than my friend Yoshi), and our experiences have been mixed. On our first visit, the vibe was fun--decor like Hong Kong alleyways with 70s Kung Fu touches, great for groups with big Lazy Susan tables and a lively bar. Service was friendly, and the bartender even let us sample a new cocktail. Some dishes were solid (fresh dumplings and noodles you could watch being made), but others fell flat. The salt & pepper pork chops were mostly bone, the dumplings bland, and the Peking duck had chewy skin with stray feathers. The saving grace was the duck-bone soup--flavorful, veggie-packed, and comforting. Prices were steep, about $150 for two people, plus odd extra fees. We decided to give them another shot, especially the Peking duck, and they comped it this time. It was an improvement: skin crispier, scallions and cucumbers neatly cut, and wraps done well. But it came with hoisin sauce and... sugar. The chef explained it's a South China style, but I've never seen sugar with duck. Their house-made chili sauce would've been a much better pairing. The duck meat was moist, though the cuts were still chunky. Sadly, the duck-bone soup that we loved before was ruined with hoisin and soy sauce--so salty it was almost inedible. Other dishes made up for it: juicy dumplings, the crispy eggplant clay pot (still my favorite), sticky rice dessert (very nostalgic), and strong drinks (though the lychee syrup was bitter). Prices have gone up--duck is now $85, and with other dishes and drinks our bill was over $150 (not counting the comped duck). Service remains a strong point--they even safeguarded my friend's forgotten credit card until he came back. Overall: Chinatown is a beautiful, lively spot in El Paso and worth trying for something different, but it's hit-or-miss. Some dishes stand out (eggplant pork, beef chow fun), others fall flat. If you find a favorite, stick with it. Just be ready for high prices and some inconsistency.

Best Chinese food in the area. It's upscale and impeccable service with large and clean dining room. We ordered some of our usual suspects. The XLB was excellent. The string beans were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Our favorite was the Shanghai rice cake with chicken dish. China Town will be our first choice eating out in El Paso area whenever we're in town. Highly recommend!!

Very awesome exterior decorations as we walked in! The interior was even better! It felt very fancy yet oriental. The service was great! Our server was awesome and informative and recommended great drinks and food options. We ended up getting the Singapore noodles and Black pepper beef tenderloin. The beef tenderloin in fact melted in my mouth like butter. 10000/10 recommend. Getting chills just thinking about it.

Very tasty authentic Chines food. Their hot & spicy soup was very good. We ordered delivered so we did not go inside the restaurant. OK part 2 I took a group of friends to lunch here today. Wow! Very impressed with the Chinese restaurant Our waitress Janette was awesome!

The food was Bomb!! Great ambience, decor was on point, bar area has great artwork on the walls, outside seating in shaded area with even more nostalgia China Town vibes in a cool part of the neighborhood! Staff was on point with the entirety of service, from the moment you walk into the door, being seated, recommendations, treatment through service, and amiable conversation with our waitress and staff! We had a blast, ate everything, drinks were cold, delicious, and great recommendations! Absolutely recommend.

The place is amazing!! If you love to try a little bit of everything, I suggest coming with a big group! Service was wonderful and food was delicious! My faves were most definitely the soup dumplings (xialongbao), and the wor wonton soup with chicken! We left no plate empty! There were 5 of us and we enjoyed every bit of everything! Everything on the table was a fave, but from the table, the faves were definitely the walnut shrimp and the fried chicken! All in all, if your le looking for authentic Chinese in Texas, look no further!

Food was awful. Stale like. Not crunchy veggie rolls. Orange chicken was gooier than other places where it has a crunch. Also had a strange taste. Green beans were ok. Rice ok too.

I didn't know what to expect but was very pleased with lunch. Lee provided great service as our waiter. The restaurant is very nice and the owner spent some money on the design and features. You need to try this place. This could be the best Chinese restaurant in town.

Ok where to start if you like Chinese food and you enjoy amazing flavors and a great atmosphere you need to go to China Town now! They did an absolute amazing job decorating and giving it a great vibe and the food is amazing and they serve it family style!!!! The staff is also incredible I was served by Savana and she was amazing extremely attentive. Now I'm f you looking for food recommendations I do t think you can go wrong with anything my party tried two appetizers, two soup dumplings, and four main courses and it was all spectacular. Side note their happy hour is kick ass if you are able to get there for it!!!

Asthetics, decor, service, portions, authenticity (especially for El Paso)...10 Drink selection, tasty factor...9 It was steadily busy, food is hot and fresh; on the table in like 4-6mins! A must try people;)

ChinaTown has become one of my favorite restaurants in El Paso. Service, food and drinks have always been great. Every dish I've tried is great.

I stopped by Chinatown in West El Paso for lunch today and was really impressed! The atmosphere is stylish, decorated like a modern version of what being in China town would look like. Super cool and inviting vibe. They have full bar with a unique cocktail selection, which we really enjoyed--both drinks we tried were excellent. The menu features Chinese cuisine, including dumplings and bao buns, which were a great addition. However, there's no kids' menu, so keep that in mind if you have picky eaters. Service was another highlight...our waiter was fantastic...super attentive, and helpful throughout the meal. Overall, if you're looking for a stylish spot with great drinks and a solid menu, Chinatown is worth checking out! Will be coming back for date night!

This is definitely the best Chinese restaurant in El Paso with authentic dumplings and Xiao long bao, or "Little Dragon Buns". These are very popular Shanghainese steamed dumpling. Known for their delicate pleated dough and delicious broth filling. Love the crab filling xiao long boa. The service was pleasant and attentive. I enjoyed the atmosphere of China town which brings you back to the little Chinese alleys of downtown Shanghai full of energy and activities. The food is as authentic as it can be!

This place is beautiful, so convenient to hangout grab a drink and eat with family/friends. Food is delicious by the way every dish.

Was surprised to find a good Asian restaurant in the area finally. Yes it's pricey, but the food is great from the in-house dumplings to the myriad of meat and vegetable options. Will probably return with a larger group to be able to try more of the menu or maybe the peking duck.

After a takeout order, I decided I needed to visit this place for the dine in experience. The restaurant is beautifully designed, and I appreciate that even with high ceilings I could still make and hear conversation comfortably. Service with Celeste was exceptional from start to finish, even offering to accommodate a meal for a toddler in the absence of a kid's menu. All of the food we ordered came out promptly. The black pepper tenderloin is outrageously delicious--tender meat and a great portion not overpowered by onion and pepper. The combo lo mein was also very tasty. The cocktails, while a bit pricey, were 100% excellent. They have nice happy hour offerings before 6 pm. Loved the experience all around and will return soon to try other menu items. Do not skip dessert!

Chinatown is a beautiful establishment, staff is friendly, and their menu is pretty varied. We ordered the calamari, lo mein, another noodle dish, and honey chicken with orange zest. Our calamari was extremely salty and chewy (very overcooked). We noticed the waiter and all he said was sorry he didn't offer to bring us anything else or take the calamari from the table. Our meals were good, we did enjoy the noodles and chicken dishes. Meals are definitely shareable as they're fairly. Large portions.

We had the pan fried flounder fish and the Mongolian beef, both were good! The fish had a lot of breading than we liked, the Mongolian beef was very spicy however both were very good. The ambiance is great, feels authentic, and it was very clean. The service was good, waiter was attentive as well as the manager or owner, not sure what he was but he was seen walking around and asking how things were. Overall, great experience.

The food is some of the best Chinese food in the area. Love the duck. It seems to be very busy every yine we have eaten there but the service has been right on each time.

Kung Pao Chicken and Mongolian Beef. Nice amount of heat, but otherwise flavorless. That's all I can say. The food was overpriced, and underseasoned. The chicken seemed boiled and was still wet and soggy from the water. This also watered down the sauce, which absolutely had no flavor. Just blah. Very disappointed.

Nice fancy little spot to eat dinner with the family. Authentic Chinese cuisine. A little expensive but the portions are for 4 people, so keep that in mind. Highly recommend. They were out a few things but nothing to big. Decor and service fantastic had a reservation and they took us in 45 minutes early.

Ok guys, pay attention, this is a great date night spot that won't break the bank. The ambiance is cozy and intimate but not heavy- just tastefully chic. The service is on point and the owners are on site to make sure their newest venture gets off to the perfect start- and they are well on their way. They oversee the dishes as they come out and everything not only looks great but smells and tastes amazing as well. Came here this afternoon to catch up with a pal the just returned from Samoa and we had lots to talk about. We just kept talking and ordering different dishes to try- I had the tenderloin and it was like butter- just so tender and delicious- if you are a steak eater, you will love this dish. All the bao were flavorful and well filled in little pockets that were not so thick- this helped the flavors shine- just great. So after about three hours, we left with lots of leftovers and a very relaxed feeling. This is a great new spot for Rl Paso and I wish these folks the best of luck here.

China Town The best authentic traditional chinese food in El Paso and I dont think there is anyone that compete on this one anytime soon. Everything that you would expect from a chinese restaurant is here. Noodles, dumpling, bao are all in house handmade, We came around 2:30pm so its not busy but they said it can get very busy and food can take 15 mins to arrive to your table as they are made to order. We are a group of 5 so we all order 1 dish each and we all share it so we can sample them Ambiance: you're greeted by a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. Recommended dishes: Kung Pao Chicken, Hongkong Beef Chao Fen, Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Beef Bao Final Thoughts: China Town is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience. Whether you're a dim sum aficionado or a curious foodie, this place won't disappoint. Just be prepared to leave craving more! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Love this restaurant. Like being in the big city. Authentic fine Asian Cuisine. Glad you are in EP.

Was excited to go there to check it out. El Paso is sorely in need of an authentic Chinese restaurant. Exiting choices are either overly Americanized or "gourmet" priced and more fusion than Chinese. Made the long drive from downtown only to sit in an uncomfortable booth for 25 minutes without a server (they may not like singles. . . ) Got up and left as my lunch break did not include the whole afternoon.

I have no picture for the food since it was never given to me. I came with a large party, reserved two days in advance, and even ordered duck in advance. To get to the restaurant and had to sit separately from each other because our table was given and were told if we could wait for them to leave. My order never came in and had to cancel. When my kid refuses to eat his food I will tell him to clean his plate because there are hungry people in the China Town restaurant.

Pay attention owners and managers. We have been pleased with our many visits and have been recommending China Town to lots of people. Rice cakes and dishes not found often in El Paso. But.... service and overall cleanliness is dropping off. Our table was sticky and had to be wiped down, my menu was covered in hot chili oil, inside and out and a description of a dish was "it is fried fish with seasoning"???? A drop off in service and cleanliness should not be happening this soon.

The food is amazing. We recently went with a large group and were able to order several plates. We all shared and enjoyed every plate brought out. They were very attentive and accommodating for such a large group.

We are from Las Cruces and I have been searching for a good place to get shrimp fried rice. Chinatown was an excellent choice and my shrimp fried rice as well as my wife's dish were both excellent. The service was very good and I really liked the decor. I would definitely recommend the shrimp fried rice; it had plenty of large shrimp and the serving was quite ample . We will be back!

Excellent food service and ambience also great staff. Best in El Paso! Try it out it's worth it.

Food was very good and freshly made. we ordered the bokchoy, lomein and sweet and sour pork. The service by Nathanial was great he was attentive and knowledgeable. The ambience was family friendly and clean. We will be returning.

So impressive! I am amazed with the food and the interior design of the restaurant. Highly recommend and I am coming back a million times! Yummyy

The food is good, I really liked the place. It's hip and new. The only thing negative to say is the waitress didn't know the menu AT ALL, and what bothered me more is I believe the owner was there, and maybe because I've worked at restaurants before I'm biased but I'd be there helping if I have new staff that hasn't learned the menu.

Great authentic Chinese food, great friendly staff and atmosphere. Prices are also very competitive and reasonable A+

The place is really nice. We went last weekend, I think probably because it hasn't been open for too long, but the service was terrible. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The food is not bad but overpriced. We were charged $14 for a dish that is basically boiled cabbage.

Went to China Town last night for dinner with the family. We order some appetizers which came out pretty quick. Ate too quick to snap photos. Our meals were brought out as we were finishing up our appetizers. Service was great, drink refills were either brought or asked if needed. The staff were all very cordial and attentive. The food was all very delicious. The flavors felt more attentic in comparison to other places we've tried. We definitely enjoyed our evening and will be returning.

This restaurant was very good! The ambience did feel like authentic Chinatown right here in El Paso! Not only that, but the service was good. The food was great and the prices were pretty good. I will say the portions are very large so bring your family because it'll take a couple people to eat each thing, but that's good - Moore value for the price! Overall, I would recommend this restaurant very much: the food is great, the prices are good, the service is good and the place is cute. Try it out if you're looking for some good Chinese food!!

Had called to make a reservation and to order the duck special since it is recommended to order an hour before sitting down. We ordered and paid it a few hours ahead to make sure we were going to get the duck and still waited over thirty minutes when sat down to get the meal. Overall good roasted duck and duck soup if you are willing to try it out.

I thought this place was a neat find. Very nice Chinese dining experience, that feels like an original concept to El Paso. I personally liked the food, but for people with huge appetites, it might not be as satisfying. My family complained of the meat dishes of having too little meat and more filled up with onions.

My wife and I were craving Chinese and Cruces Chinese is lacking so I found the China Town website (El Paso). The short trip was well worth it. We started out with the hot and sour soup. A very large bowl that we shared and it was amazing!!!! We also ordered the spicy schezuan wings, chicken bao, schezuan chicken and kung pao chicken. All were perfectly done and delicious. I especially enjoyed the wings and kung pao chicken...exceptional! The service was incredible and the atmosphere was perfect. This is clearly a five star restaurant and we will return many times. Tom S

Very good food. Stands out among the rest of the El Paso Chinese restaurants. The service from our waiter Santiago was great! Never skipped a beat. The ambiance was fantastic. Good vibes all around! Highly recommend !

This is got to be one of the most annoyingest places to order the Peking duck from at one point they were saying you got to order it early in the morning pay for it and then you can pick it up now when I speak with them today they're saying you got to order 24 hours in advance I mean my God for me I'm done with this place and then on top of that they want to charge a credit card fee for everything this place is ridiculous

China Town is a great spot for some delicious Chinese food. We have had a great experience here multiple times now. Ky provided excellent service us to tonight, and she was patient, thorough, and knowledgeable. This restaurant also has great ambiance and beautiful decor with homage paid to films and Chinatowns all over the world.

Had the most amazing time last night! Had the pleasure of dining at this new hot spot and from the decore to the staff my experience was amazing. The manager took the time to come to my table and introduce himself to my husband and I but he didn't stop there! He went as far as to not only give us a completely unrequested discount on our meal but also complimentary drinks! We will be visiting location again soon!

Food is nothing compelling. Wait staff only knows how to say "of course", and "I apologize but there is nothing I can do." We asked what beers they had because the menu clearly reads All Beers 1/2 Price (during specific time) we were clearly good to go. Afterwards the full price was charged on the check. We were told that we should of said that we wanted the special price. We replied " of course."

If I could give this place more stars for the food I would. Honey Chicken was outstanding, some of the best I've had. Wish I lived in El Paso because I would order takeout all the time. Now for the negative, I would take stars away for the greeting we received waking in. Rude, rude, rude!!!! Bathrooms were not the cleanest.

The service was excellent by Kyle who kept our refills without asking. Kyle's recommendation on our order was on target. The food was great and I would recommend the Singapore Rice noodles combo. The restaurant itself was a great atmosphere and the music was enjoyable.
