Do you crave authentic Chinese food? Of course you do, because it’s wonderfully diverse – perfect for a celebratory feast, a casual weeknight when you’re just ordering takeout, or a spontaneous craving, paired with whatever mood you’re in. So here are 13 spots to savor genuine Chinese cuisine in Yonkers, one of Westchester’s most vibrant dining scenes.
Family Kitchen
$ | (914) 969-1988 | WEBSITE
Right in the middle of a bustling Yonkers neighborhood is Family Kitchen, a reliable Chinese spot with delivery so fast you’ll wonder what their scooter fleet looks like. The broccoli with garlic sauce arrives fresh and crunchy every time, served in generous portions that make you feel like you’re getting more than you paid for.
Their combination platters are packed with proteins instead of just being filled with rice, and the vegetarian options are decent enough to keep everyone at the table happy. While some delivery drivers can be forgetful or a bit rude, the friendly staff inside always gets orders correct and shows genuine care for dietary preferences.
It’s the kind of place that builds loyalty—some customers have been coming since their teenage years—and despite occasional delivery hiccups, the authentic flavors and consistent quality make Family Kitchen a go-to choice in the area.
Golden Dragon
$ | (914) 423-8766 | WEBSITE
If you’re craving the best Chinese takeout in Yonkers (or need to feed a family that’s been dreaming of it) Golden Dragon is the spot to hit. This hidden gem serves all kinds of crispy sesame chicken and expertly prepared chicken and broccoli to enjoy with their famous fried rice and egg rolls. The combos with shrimp and wings are what keep people coming back, and the owner makes sure every order is fresh, fast, and handled with a smile.
Panda
$ | (914) 237-1859 | WEBSITE
That take-out menu they hand you when you order at Panda is the only option, and, fortunately, you don’t really need to study it. Because all you have to do is tell this Yonkers spot’s attentive cook what you’re craving, and they’ll be able to whip up something fresh and flavorful for you.
Tasty House Chinese / Hungry Crab Cajun Seafood
$ | (914) 968-0388 | WEBSITE
Yonkers’ cozy Chinese spot Tasty House is one of the first places we’ll visit when we’re craving comfort food again. Ironically, we’ll be heading there to share a table while we devour an incredibly satisfying sesame chicken with brown rice, and split a seafood special that’s absolutely worth the trip.
Lucky Way Kitchen
$ | (914) 968-5935 | WEBSITE
There’s no question that your order from Lucky Way Kitchen is one of the most satisfying you can have in Yonkers. The generous use of fresh, crunchy vegetables is going to be a big part of that experience – along with some damn good Shrimp with Mixed Veg and Shrimp Mei Fun.
En lai Chinese restaurant
$ | (914) 476-0647 | WEBSITE
The Yonkers location of En Lai is just as reliable as any other Chinese spot when it comes to grabbing some takeout and a whole lot of flavor. Know that if you’re hungry and you don’t order the General Tso’s chicken, you’ll never forgive yourself.
Hao Chi Kitchen
$ | (914) 496-4834 | WEBSITE
If you’re looking for Chinese food in Yonkers, there are a few things you should know. First, don’t settle for soggy takeout when there are so many fresh options. Second, just because a place has fast delivery, doesn’t mean the food is cooked to order. And third, if you need General Tso’s chicken that’s actually crispy and flavorful, Hao Chi Kitchen is the best spot in the area to get it.
New Golden Fountain
$ | (914) 237-8899 | WEBSITE
Yonkers spot New Golden Fountain operates in a fast-paced cash-only setup, and, unlike any takeout joint we’ve ever tried, they serve authentic Chinese food with exceptional friendly service. The ambience is nice and the food is especially delicious on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, with favorites including the chicken and broccoli, fried chicken, rib tips, chicken fried rice, pork fried rice, and steamed or fried dumplings. It’s the best Chinese takeout around, closed only on Mondays.
China King
$ | (914) 964-9888 | WEBSITE
Most Chinese restaurants have a section of their menu dedicated to chicken – but China King has entire sections of their menu devoted to every preparation for chicken, from fried, to pad thai, to Thai basil. The whole, white-meat pieces even in the fried bits show impressive craftsmanship, and the tasty sauces make the perfectly cooked rice shine without needing extra soy sauce.
While the space may look somewhat worn, the friendly service from the kind lady boss adds a personal touch that makes takeout worth it, even with sparse parking that sends you to the nearby municipal lot. A couple of flies from the open door don’t deter the loyal customers who’ve enjoyed this place for years.
First Wok
$ | (914) 376-3644 | WEBSITE
One of Yonkers’ most popular Chinese spots, First Wok has an extensive menu that covers all the classics. Meaning – and we mean this literally – you can find any kind of fried rice you’re looking for here.
No. 1 Kitchen
$ | (914) 968-0288 | WEBSITE
You know No. 1 Kitchen as the incredible Chinese spot your friend in Yonkers will never shut up about. And somewhere along the way, that friend has also probably mentioned how good the value here is. Which makes sense – because the prices are excellent, and really know how to put together a meal that feels generous.
East Harbor
$ | (914) 961-0100 | WEBSITE
We’re not sure why Yonkers’ East Harbor flies so far under the radar: It’s a cozy spot in a bustling area, and they’ve got excellent service for enjoying avocado salad, house special lo mein, and general tso chicken.
