Best Chinese Restaurants in Uptown

A longtime Uptown destination for Hong Kong–style BBQ where the duck program is the main event and the rest of the menu rewards group ordering. Go with a plan—lock in the duck dinner, add one noodle or rice dish, and let the roast meats do the heavy lifting.

A Sichuan-heavy menu built for bold flavors and big-table ordering, where dry-chili heat and peppercorn tingle are the point. It’s strongest when you mix textures—one crispy spicy dish, one tofu or veg plate, and a soup or noodle bowl to reset the palate.

Stylish pan-Asian restaurant with mod white decor and outdoor patio that's been a Lakeview fixture for over 14 years. The pot stickers rival Chinatown versions, and the cocktail program complements dishes ranging from Sichuan to Thai influences.

A big Uptown dining room known for all-day dim sum and classic Cantonese staples, best approached like a cart-driven tasting. Keep it disciplined: pick a handful of dumplings, add one fried or baked item, and finish with one comforting noodle or rice plate.

An Asia on Argyle staple for Cantonese BBQ and rice plates where roast meats are the reliable move. Treat it like a build-your-own combo: pick one roast, add one second meat for contrast, and round it out with something brothy or seafood-forward.

A Buena Park takeout counter that’s all about old-school comfort and fast turnaround, especially if you treat it like a fried-starter-and-rice play. The signature move is to build the meal around egg rolls plus one simple entrée so nothing gets lost in a sprawling order.

A classic Chinatown-to-Argyle style bakery stop where the pastry case and steamed buns are the draw, not table service. The move is to go early, grab a mixed box, and prioritize the items that travel well—buns, egg tarts, and a couple of sweet breads.

A smaller Uptown dining option that leans toward a calmer sit-down experience than the typical takeout counter. It’s best when you keep the order classic: one standout protein, one vegetable dish, and rice—don’t overcomplicate the table with too many sauces.

A true neighborhood takeout counter where fried-rice plates and quick classics are the repeat-order comfort lane. Don’t try to sample the whole menu—pick one fried rice, add one simple side, and treat it as a reliable weeknight fuel stop.

A Montrose corridor takeout option that’s best used for straightforward, sauce-and-rice comfort when you keep the order focused. Stick to one classic stir-fry plus one side so it stays in its most consistent lane and arrives hot.
