What this is
ChineseRestaurantAtlas is a free directory of Chinese restaurants in the United States, organised by state and city. Every listing has an address; most have a phone number, and where a business publishes its hours or services we show those too. Listings come from open data and from the businesses themselves, who can correct their card at any time — about the directory. Nothing on the lists is paid placement.
Pick a state above, or use the “near me” button to jump to the Chinese restaurants closest to you. City pages show the full list with a map; state pages collect smaller towns that have a single Chinese restaurant.

Common questions
What counts as a Chinese restaurant?
A Chinese restaurant serves dishes from one or more of China's regional cuisines, or the Chinese-American dishes that grew from them, either as takeout or in a dining room. Here the label also covers dim sum halls, hot pot and dumpling houses and Chinese buffets.
What is the difference between Chinese-American and regional Chinese food?
Chinese-American dishes such as General Tso's chicken, beef and broccoli and fried rice were adapted for American tastes. Regional Chinese cooking, such as Szechuan, Cantonese and Hunan, varies widely, and many restaurants offer both on one menu.
What are the main regional styles of Chinese food?
Cantonese cooking is mild and focuses on fresh ingredients and dim sum, Szechuan (also spelled Sichuan) is bold and spicy with chili and numbing peppercorns, and Hunan is hot and sour with fresh chiles. Other regions have their own noodle, dumpling and barbecue traditions.
Do Chinese restaurants take reservations?
Sit-down and banquet-style restaurants often do, especially for groups and weekend dim sum, while takeout spots are walk-in or phone orders. Call ahead to confirm.
Are there vegetarian options at Chinese restaurants?
Usually. Tofu, vegetable dishes, noodles and rice are common, and some places have a separate vegetarian menu. Sauces and broths may contain meat or seafood products, so confirm ingredients with the staff.
Which places are not listed here?
Asian grocery stores, Chinese medicine clinics, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese restaurants and catering-only kitchens are not listed. The directory is for Chinese restaurants that serve meals.
