Best Chinese Restaurants in the Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Popular among both Westerners and the mainland Chinese community, this Weddington destination is worth the drive for a full dim sum menu (soup dumplings, radish turnip cakes, and pork and shrimp shu mai, between $8 to $13 each) and other specialty dishes like hearty clay pot options, thick and saucy mapo tofu, lobster covered in ginger and scallion, and cold-cut chicken. Traditional dishes like sesame chicken are also on the menu, with many under $20 for dinner and $14 for lunch. A casual, comfortable, bright dining room with a full bar is inviting enough for a friend or work group dinner or the whole family." - Shindy Chen

Lam’s Kitchen is a hidden gem in Matthews! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Their General Tso’s chicken is crispy and delicious, and the lo mein is some of the best I’ve had. The staff is friendly, quick, and always gets the order right, whether dining in or taking out. Great portion sizes and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend if you’re craving quality Chinese food in the area!

If your looking for delicious food in a family oriented environment this is definitely the spot. We had 9 people and were seated in the private room where we can share amongst each other. Loved this idea especially with kids. The staff from start to finish was excellent, attended to all our needs and questions. We decided to do a few different types of dishes to have the full experience and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, juicy and had a bunch of flavor. Highly recommend trying this place out.

The food is amazing. Really well done menu! Large but it offers everything you’d want. And the portions are shareable. Nothing was overcooked and the flavors were better than expected. The service was a bit slow and chaotic at times. Most dishes didn’t come at the same time for everyone. Reservations are welcome. Overall, I’ll choose here again for Chines food.

You know, when you get food that makes you dance. This is that food. Delicious! I ordered Singapore Rice Noodles and my husband ordered General Tso's Chicken. To say they give you generous portions is an understatement. There was so much food. I will be back. I can't wait to work my way through the menu. Not only was the food excellent, the service was excellent as well.

They made a mushroom dish vegan for me. It was awesome! The brown rice was really good! Warm staff and clean. Just a great place to stop and grab a bite. They also have authentic dim sum, intestines, pork belly. Lost of clean plates! Yum! No annoying elevator music! Great to converse!

I went here with my husband and daughter this evening for dinner. Great tasting, fresh food and generous portions. The staff is very friendly and our service was great. Reasonably priced as well. It was an all around good experience and we will definitely be back.

Went here on Easter Sunday and they had a line out the door at opening time. This restaurant is insanely busy so I highly recommend making reservations in advance. They have a full bar and a private room for bigger parties that require a $100 deposit and spending a minimum of $400. Our waitress was the sweetest lady and provided us with the best service. The food was delicious, and they also had dim sum which was a bonus for us. I recommend this restaurant for a great dining experience.
