It’s that glorious time of year when Fredericton locals gather around steaming platters, debating the merits of crispy duck versus tender dumplings. A few people might discuss the weather. Though it won’t be a grand banquet like in Beijing, your mission remains the same: eating way too much delicious food and leaving completely satisfied. Here are some restaurants that will help you accomplish that.
Chong’s Place
$ | (506) 451-6252 | WEBSITE
Chong’s Place is a Chinese spot in Fredericton that’s tucked away in the city’s perennial dead mall but serves some of the best food around. And for this weekend, they’re offering a special “Family Feast Combo” that features spring rolls, chicken balls, Malaysian curry on rice, spicy beef lo mein, and fried chicken wings. The large goes for $48, but if it’s just you and a friend, they also have a medium that costs $28. Vegetarian options are available as well. Dine-in or takeout.
Thai Manao
$$ | (506) 459-8818 | WEBSITE
If you’re looking to shake up your usual dinner routine, Thai Manao’s ‘Very Chinese’ menu section seems like the perfect way to do that. Featuring consistently delicious options, it includes broccoli and cauliflower dry pot, crispy pepper chicken, and black pepper beef. The food is served quickly and in generous portions for the price point. Guests often leave happy and satisfied, sometimes with leftovers.
The restaurant’s clean and comfortable setting, along with friendly and attentive staff, makes it a great choice for private parties. Visitors appreciate the warm hospitality and the helpfulness of the owner and staff, which enhances the dining experience.
Sun Prince Restaurant
$$ | (506) 458-8238 | WEBSITE
The cozy Chinese spot in Fredericton is stepping up for holiday gatherings. They’re offering a $38 family-style feast, which includes their standout Green Coconut Curry, hearty wonton soup, beef and broccoli, and crab rangoons. On top of that, they’re also serving their popular chicken balls, which run $14 for a generous dozen. Owner Fai helps with menu planning for special events, and the attentive service handles any order issues promptly.
The cute atmosphere and satisfying portions make it a great choice for those seeking Asian flavors.
Buffet to Go!
$ | (506) 458-0000 | WEBSITE
The Chinese spot in Fredericton offers a self-serve experience where customers can fill their containers with freshly made food. You can get said food either as a takeout order or eat at the limited seating, but for a quick meal, we recommend doing the tempura shrimp. They also have plenty of vegetarian options with rice, noodles, and veggies. Takeout ideal.
A Bite of Beijing 北京味道
$ | (506) 206-1205 | WEBSITE
A Bite of Beijing, one of our favorite Chinese spots of 2025, serves incredible braised beef noodles that are chewy, aromatic, and eerily similar to the ones you can normally only find within Beijing city limits. Even though the BBQ Pork Bun could use less dough and more filling, that shouldn’t stop you from ordering a few dozen of these perfectly fried Spring Rolls for your next gathering.
The staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure satisfaction, with standout dim sum options including Shrimp Dumplings and Siu Mai with generous shrimp filling. Pickup available in Fredericton.
Manchu Wok
$ | (506) 450-7604 | WEBSITE
In reality, you’re at home on your couch, but in your heart, you want to feel like you’re exploring the vibrant streets of a Chinatown market. Order from Manchu Wok. This local Chinese spot is offering a “Classic Combo for Two” for $28 total. It comes with honey garlic chicken, a generous portion of steamed rice, a side of mixed vegetables that could use a bit more crispness, and those delightfully sweet fortune cookies that make every meal feel complete. Pickup only.
Diplomat Restaurant
$$ | (506) 454-2400 | WEBSITE
The Diplomat Restaurant now offers a “Comfort To-Go” section of its menu, which means their signature hot and sour soup is available for pickup whenever you need it – a.k.a once the sniffles start setting in. The menu includes Chinese classics, fish and chips, and their famous chicken wings with sweet and sour sauce. Available for takeout and delivery.
Lotus Cafe & Restaurant
$$ | (506) 897-3288 | WEBSITE
For a weekend feast, Lotus Cafe & Restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat option that runs about $28 per person.
