Choosing where to get Chinese takeout on a Friday night is tricky enough. Add Quincy’s staggering array of authentic regional options—from fiery Sichuan to delicate Cantonese—and the decision becomes downright overwhelming. If you’re trying to find the *right* spot, where flavors transport you from Flushing to Foshan, let us guide you. We’ve methodically worked through Quincy’s vast culinary landscape to bring you the definitive 2025 list.
Wei Shu Wu Hot Pot 味蜀吾火锅
$$$ | (617) 481-5829 | WEBSITE
If you need spicy broth and generous portions, Wei Shu Wu Hot Pot will deliver. The cozy, modern spot in Quincy is predictable in that way. But the predictability goes a little too far with a hotpot experience that sticks to a familiar game plan. We’re talking flavorful broths with options like chili, pork, and seafood served in a cute, upscale atmosphere.
The immaculate sauce bar, in one form or another, is incorporated into most of the meal, which adds a fun twist, but there isn’t much here to get your heart racing. That said, you’re guaranteed to enjoy your free dessert.
Ming Seafood Restaurant
$$ | (617) 202-5118 | WEBSITE
Inside Ming Seafood Restaurant in Quincy, the kitchen rises to the challenge of delivering authentic dim sum without relying on the traditional cart service. It’s easy to get drawn in by the menu’s vivid photographs of dozens of earnestly prepared dishes. The first bite of steamed shrimp rice roll reveals plump, perfectly cooked shrimp wrapped in silky rice noodle—a classic executed with care.
Despite a few glimmers of greatness, though, the magic wavers with items like the chicken feet and shrimp hagow that receive mixed reactions. For dim sum enthusiasts seeking generous portions in a lively, spacious setting—and don’t forget your appetite for adventure with dishes like the surprisingly delightful crispy pig intestines.
The China
$$ | (617) 786-8890 | WEBSITE
Are you a fan of Chinese food? Do you like it when servers anticipate your every need as if they’ve been shadowing you since birth? If you answered yes to both of those questions, or even if you have a mild interest in Asian cuisine, plan a special meal at The China. Their menu consists almost exclusively of impeccably prepared Pu Pu Platters, chicken wings with duck sauce, and other classic items swimming in flavorful sauces.
The drinks are strong, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect for watching games. Some dishes like the rice and egg rolls might lack punch, but others like the chicken teriyaki are absolutely fantastic. An unexpected item, the Boneless Spare Rib Pizza, was surprisingly tasty though very sweet, with a dough that resembled fried dough more than traditional pizza. Overall, the experience is amazing, with top-notch service and a great vibe that leaves you eager to return.
Shi Miao Dao
$ | (617) 481-5888 | WEBSITE
Golden Phoenix, Peach Farm, Winsor Dim Sum House—there are so many Chinese restaurant options in Quincy nowadays. But Shi Miao Dao exists in a category of its own. This quick-service spot right by the Wollaston T stop is essentially a soup specialist, with staff who will cheerfully walk you through the topping options.
Featuring around a dozen standard ingredients already included, the food is more comforting than it is fancy, with bowls like the ultra-savory golden hot and sour beef offal noodle soup, and the original flavor beef brisket noodle soup served piping hot with a tangle of soft noodles. It’s well-priced, the service is fast and friendly, and it’s perfect for a satisfying, steaming takeout meal on the go.
big fun cafe
$ | (617) 689-8866 | WEBSITE
This tiny Cantonese spot in Quincy puts a premium on flavor. For the most part, the kitchen’s homemade dishes will only elevate your experience—but sometimes, it gets a little cramped. For one thing, the show-stopping signature rice rolls with liver has its own devoted following. The clay pot rice here costs just seven dollars.
Dagu Rice Noodle 大鼓米线
$ | (617) 302-2435 | WEBSITE
Yes, this is the Quincy Chinese restaurant litmus test. To figure out if you’ll like this noodle spot, ask yourself this question: How much do I like generous portions? If the answer is a lot, there’s some serious eating going on here. Consider the A1 dish—a huge bowl of rice noodles in a spicy broth that’s not too spicy, served with perfectly cooked veggies that complement the noodles well, and crispy chicken breast with delicious seasoning that even picky eaters enjoy.
Fairy Cafe – Hotpot Buffet
$$ | (617) 773-8880 | WEBSITE
At this point, Fairy Cafe – Hotpot Buffet has become a reliable neighborhood staple. Does it deliver on the promise of a satisfying hot pot experience? Absolutely. The place seems to have perfected the formula through repetition. But the Tom Yum Seafood soup is only a notch or two above standard takeout fare, and the cozy atmosphere would feel like a generic chain restaurant if it weren’t for the friendly staff who remember regular customers and their usual orders.
South Garden
$$ | (617) 328-6628 | WEBSITE
It’s not every day that dinner begins with stir-fry clams in black bean sauce in a cozy spot just outside Quincy Center, convincingly retrofitted into a traditional Cantonese eatery. South Garden also stands out for its generously portioned dishes with comforting flourishes, like twin lobster in egg yolk crossed with fried rice, then served hot and quickly.
This intimate dining room, which keeps prices reasonable for their 5-lb Lobster Mountain, is a great choice for a relaxed, pleasant meal: like a weeknight when your mood calls not for fancy decor, but maybe for empress chicken or seafood pot with vermicelli.
Wealth Seafood Restaurant
$$ | (617) 302-2528 | WEBSITE
The seven generous, authentically Chinese dishes served at this Quincy restaurant are completely distinctive—they wouldn’t appear on any other menu. You can expect quality at Wealth Seafood, sure, but you can also expect comfort: beef chow fun with tender slices that melt in your mouth, spicy green beans that snap with freshness without being overly greasy, and salted egg yolk pork chop that crackles with savory richness.
The sizzling plate beef with black pepper sauce arrives steaming and fragrant, the crab with sticky rice feels like a celebratory feast, and steamed oysters with black bean sauce taste like the ocean distilled. In the cozy, well-lit space filled with six big tables and three smaller ones, loud conversations bounce off the walls as families and regulars dig into large portions of juicy chicken, tender pork, and pricier seafood items like twin lobster.
Service is fast and solid even when the place is packed until 1am, and though parking can be tricky, the location near the Redline T Wollaston station makes it worth the trip. It’s small but perfect for family-style dinners where every bite—from vermicelli noodles with surf clams in garlic scallion oil to salt pepper calamari—feels like a highlight.
Chili Square
$ | (617) 472-8888 | WEBSITE
Years after establishing itself in Quincy, Chili Square makes a compelling case for authentic Chinese dining done right. Aside from its cash-only policy and cozy interior with few tables, little has changed—and that’s exactly why regulars keep returning. The incredibly flavorful cumin lamb biang biang noodles, tender Lanzhou beef brisket noodle soup, and juicy Cold Cut Chicken topped with chili crisps are well worth the modest prices.
While service is generally prompt, you might need to approach staff directly for assistance, but the spicy, oily dishes packed with authentic taste more than make up for it.
Cathay Pacific
$$ | (617) 328-1115 | WEBSITE
Keep your appetite ready at Cathay Pacific, because the portions at this Quincy restaurant demand to be shared—like when you open a takeout container and discover enough food for another full meal inside. At this family-friendly Chinese spot, you won’t find any tiny plates or delicate tasting menus among the generous offerings. Instead, expect classic favorites and some exceptional flavors that’ll satisfy longer than the leftovers filling up your refrigerator.
Here’s a menu where the inclusion of lobster egg foo yung and sweet and sour chicken feels perfectly justified; we’re never upset to be served pork fried rice, but Cathay Pacific’s friendly staff is the more memorable ingredient.
Peking Kitchen of Quincy
$ | (617) 328-8860 | WEBSITE
When Peking Kitchen opened in Quincy, it quickly became the go-to spot for Chinese takeout. If you’ve made it this far down our guide, you know it’s no longer the only option, but this friendly neighborhood spot still has something special. More similar in spirit to a reliable local diner than a trendy fusion spot, Peking Kitchen has staff who know regulars by name, and orders that arrive warm and ready.
The cooking is straightforward and satisfying (we overall prefer the bolder flavors at more adventurous spots), but you can’t deny the deliciousness of those crab Rangoon filled with cream cheese, or the General Gao chicken that delivers all the sweet and tangy satisfaction you expect from classic takeout at very reasonable prices.
十秒到云南过桥米綫 Ten Seconds Shimiaodao Yunnan Rice Noodles
$ | (617) 481-5888 | WEBSITE
Welcome to the Yunnan noodle haven in Quincy. Ten Seconds Shimiaodao first opened in the local dining scene, when every Chinese restaurant wanted to serve the most comforting bowls. Despite the small, clean space and consistent noodle texture though, there’s nothing rushed or impersonal about it. Sit back, relax, and watch some golden hot and sour beef offal noodle soup arrive with generous toppings and tender meat.
The original flavor beef brisket version comes with standard sides that add good texture, while cold milk tea with boba or Mango Sago provide sweet relief. Friendly service and quick preparation make this quiet location a favorite spot many love to return to for tasty offerings, whether dining in or ordering delivery.
Saigon Corner
$ | (617) 770-9333 | WEBSITE
Sort of Chinese, sort of Vietnamese, Saigon Corner is an antidote for lunchtime monotony. The Quincy dining room with cozy seating and local charm is intimate without being cramped, and the menu feels familiar yet satisfying, with standout items like dumpling noodle soup resting under a drizzle of house-made hot chili oil.
Portions aren’t small to come by, so if you’re looking for a reliable option for a quick weekday meal or casual lunch with friends, pop in for some shrimp wontons and baked tomato sauce pork chop rice.
Fuzhou Gourmet
$ | (617) 328-1631 | WEBSITE
Tucked in a Quincy strip mall—the restaurant originally opened in 2015—Fuzhou Gourmet still serves some authentic, satisfying food, but the no-frills experience gets a little repetitive, because the flavors don’t really explore uncharted territory. And the use of budget-friendly ingredients like noodles and dumplings is generous, but sometimes perfunctory, like a straightforward shortcut to affordability.
For diners whose budget or tolerance for basic settings allows them to treat this guide as a checklist, go ahead and visit Fuzhou Gourmet—for a quick weekday lunch, or to satisfy the kind of craving that reminds you of home cooking. But if the atmosphere would make this a special occasion meal for you, have that meal elsewhere.
China Chopsticks Inc.
$ | (617) 471-9277 | WEBSITE
This reliable Quincy Chinese delivery spot gives you just about everything you want from affordable, hearty takeout—with consistently good portions to sweeten the deal. The menu features a range of satisfying favorites like the spicy and flavorful Kung Pao Chicken. The generous portion sizes are a highlight, but not because of the quantity alone. That’s just a vehicle for the overall good value and consistent quality that keeps customers coming back.
The pleasant staff and quick delivery are nice little touches.
China Jade
$ | (617) 328-0999 | WEBSITE
In Quincy, China Jade has become a local favorite. We appreciate the family-owned restaurant’s consistency, but, when all you’re getting is solid (and occasionally exceptional) plates of fried rice and wontons, a twenty-dollar check sure does feel justified. The kind staff, spacious dining room, and clean atmosphere are all nice touches, and they’re enough to make this place a reliable choice.
Oriental Gourmet 有明軒
$ | (617) 302-2898 | WEBSITE
Peking Garden is for classic elegance. Peach Farm is for reliable staples. Tucked away in a Quincy side street with a humble interior and take-out focus, this Hong Kong-style restaurant serves food that’s authentic and flavorful without feeling pretentious or overproduced. Every dish—such as beef noodle soup with rich broth, or crispy chicken cutlet over steaming rice—comes with generous portions, and, if you need extra napkins, the extremely friendly staff will bring them with a warm smile.
This restaurant provides a level of value that makes other spots look overpriced.
