Compiling Coral Springs’ finest Chinese restaurants sparked immediate debate. Is a takeout spot with perfect kung pao chicken a ‘restaurant’? Does the dim sum cart make it authentic? When does fusion cross the line? We wrestled with these questions to bring you this definitive 2026 guide.
China One
$ | (954) 752-1620 | WEBSITE
China One is a classic Chinese takeout spot with a reliably familiar menu. You’ll find dishes like consistently good fried rice and Honey Garlic Chicken, alongside less predictable options like the sometimes-mushy sweet and sour chicken. Though there are a few standard items that can be hit or miss, China One’s shrimp toast—an uncommon find—is a definite highlight. The friendly service and reasonable prices (most entrees hover around $12–$15) make this a local favorite.
The modest dining area is mostly geared for quick meals or takeout, with just a handful of simple tables, but before you head out with your order, be sure to glance at the counter for a fortune cookie or two. Whether it’s the classic fried rice or that standout shrimp toast, don’t leave China One without trying something from their reliable side of the menu.
China town
$ | (954) 752-1183 | WEBSITE
China Town isn’t the first Chinese restaurant tucked away in Coral Springs—they’re not even the first one to occupy the space they’re in. But tucked away or not, this is one of our favorite places to get a meal in the neighborhood. If you’re really hungry, get the Tonkotsu Ramen—thick slices of pork, fresh vegetables, and what’s basically a rich, savory broth—or the Poke Bowl, which is a fresh fish bowl that involves perfectly seasoned rice, crisp vegetables, and a tangy dressing.
Order a side of the crispy, savory egg roll to balance everything all out.
Spikey Ty
$$ | (954) 753-5489 | WEBSITE
Coral Springs is flooded with sushi spots. But it only takes one bite of the Masaman curry at Spikey Ty to know this small restaurant is doing something special. This clean glass box of a Thai-sushi hybrid serves its rolls daily, blending the fresh, generous cuts of sushi and a crackly wasabi paste that hits like a polished penny. If you’ve been a loyal customer for years, you know these portions are roughly the size of a dinner plate and not strictly traditional.
Get the Red curry with a coconut milk mattress and aromatic spice blend, or the vegetarian sushi roll with creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and ginger spread, and an order of soy sauce “dipping bowls” for good measure.
China Sea
$ | (954) 346-8885 | WEBSITE
China Sea is a classic Chinese spot where things feel straightforward. It’s like finally finding a place that doesn’t give you heartburn or realizing you can skip the delivery apps and just eat in. Dishes here are uncomplicated and clean, with fresh oil and quality ingredients as king. Our go-to order is the Fried Shrimp with tartar sauce, described as ‘FIRE!!’, but the Hunan Beef is also a great option.
It’s served with rice and an eggroll—the perfect addition to any weeknight dinner, or meal to celebrate finding a Chinese restaurant that actually feels clean.
Asian Chao
$ | (954) 840-8806 | WEBSITE
This Chinese food counter in Coral Square Mall serves reliable, mildly inconsistent combos centered around saucy proteins and fluffy rice. The bourbon chicken combo comes with tender chunks in a sweet glaze, the Mongolian chicken is loaded with crisp vegetables and savory sauce, and the orange or sesame chicken options—like the classic orange chicken—are just as familiar.
You might leave paying around $12 for a meal, but the smiling staff and its convenient mall location make Asian Chao one of the most accessible lunches and decent Asian spots in Coral Springs.
China Star
$ | (954) 341-0088 | WEBSITE
China Star is a lunchtime-favorite Chinese spot inside a large strip mall in Coral Springs that makes classic takeout dishes. That’s the word for reliable American-Chinese food, or as we like to call it, another solid option in South Florida. The incredible wok flavor comes through in dishes like the Mongolian beef and house special fried rice—rich and savory on the inside, with that perfect seared texture on the outside.
The kitchen brings the classics to the party, and the results are satisfying: general tsos chicken with that sweet-spicy glaze, boneless ribs with a sticky barbecue sauce, and vegetarian broccoli with a punch of garlic. While pickup is preferred over delivery, and you might occasionally find lukewarm food or a missing item, the orange chicken and krab ragoon are highlights worth returning for—especially during the lunch specials.
Red Pepper Chinese Restaurant
$ | (954) 753-1111 | WEBSITE
This family-friendly Chinese spot is the only restaurant in Coral Springs we don’t mind ordering from over and over again. The kitchen turns out absolutely amazing food that’s fresh, tasty, and made with clean ingredients, and you can choose from great options like the highly-recommended Honey Garlic Chicken or Pan Fried Noodles with seafood while enjoying their friendly service.
The piping hot meals are reasonably priced ($14-$18 for entrees), but the flavors feel as satisfying as everything else in this reliable neighborhood spot. Get the sweet-savory Honey Garlic Chicken with its crispy coating, or the Pan Fried Noodles with plump seafood for a hit of umami. We usually enjoy our delivery at home with the family.
Crazy Wok
$ | (954) 255-1866 | WEBSITE
Coral Springs has its share of solid Chinese spots (looking at you, Golden Dragon, what’s up, Panda Express), but let’s get one thing straight: Crazy Wok is the best. This takeout and delivery favorite has been dishing out consistently fresh, flavorful food with huge portions that satisfy any appetite. The menu offers a variety of options, like the popular poo poo platter and ginger scallion fish. However, you’re here for the takeout experience.
It’s the Crazy Wok signature of honoring special requests, delivering promptly, and serving everything with friendly, welcoming staff who even engage in conversations. It is convenient, it is satisfying, and if we could vote this restaurant for most reliable weeknight dinner, we would.
Sun Sun Chinese Take-Out
$ | (954) 340-2566 | WEBSITE
Whenever we’re in Coral Springs, there are two things on our minds. The first is finding parking, and the second is the sesame chicken from Sun Sun Chinese Take-Out. Is Sun Sun a traditional sit-down restaurant? Maybe not, considering it’s primarily take-out and delivery with occasional slow service on weekends. But Sun Sun excels in the Chinese food department. The food is always fresh, and the flavors hit that sweet spot of not being overly salty while providing good value.
The sesame chicken is our old faithful because of how the crispy coating, savory sauce, and tender meat come together perfectly. But we also work the General Tso’s chicken, broccoli with garlic sauce, and fried wontons into the rotation.
Mainland China Bistro
$$ | (954) 526-8888 | WEBSITE
Tell anyone in Coral Springs that you’re craving Chinese food and they’ll be like, ‘Please bring me some peking duck.’ And unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that they’re not asking you for a pet, they’re asking you for Mainland China Bistro’s most famous dish: crispy-skinned duck with tender meat served with pancakes and hoisin sauce.
This popular Chinese restaurant makes plenty of good dishes besides the peking duck, too—like their flavorful egg rolls and customizable fried rice—but if we’re picking one, it’s going to be the Mongolian beef.
Red Ginger Asian Bistro
$$ | (954) 752-1850 | WEBSITE
This cozy bistro has been serving Coral Springs for years and continues to make some of the best Asian food you’ll find in South Florida. The operation specializes in a variety of dishes with highlights like chicken and shrimp pad thai, fresh sushi, and soft shell crab. Red Ginger has expanded its offerings over the years though, and provides vegetarian options, too, like Pad Thai with Tofu and Vegetarian Spring Rolls.
If you want a heartier meal, go for the soft shell crab—it’s a generous portion with perfectly crispy texture and rich flavor. All of these savory, fresh, and balanced tastes play nicely with the restaurant’s inviting atmosphere: friendly service, quick takeout, and a good selection of sake on tap for a casual meal or happy hour.
