Ranking Chinese Restaurant Chains From Worst To Best
BY EMILY HUNT
13. Asian Chao
There are many Chinese restaurant chains to choose from, but if quality and flavor are what you're seeking, Asian Chao might not be your first choice.
Located in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Ohio, the chain is generally overpriced, while the food wavers between bland and overly salty. It's best avoided.
12. Manchu Wok
As a common food court offering, Manchu Wok is a Canadian-born Chinese restaurant that has somehow expanded to the U.S. despite having low-quality food.
Don't be reeled in by the reasonable prices, as some customers have complained of dry, hard chicken and horrible aftertastes that are better left behind.
11. Gourmet Express
Another food court option is Chinese Gourmet Express, which is known for its excellent orange chicken, but the rest of the menu is less than tasty.
Although reviews tend toward positive, it seems like experiences vary greatly depending on location, so while it's okay in a pinch, check the reviews before you go.
10. Chowking
Founded in the Philippines in 1985, Chowking now has locations in California, Nevada, New Jersey, and Washington, and stands out for its unexpected offerings.
With menu items like dim sum, popcorn chicken, and siopao buns, the chain is good in a pinch and even great when it comes to items like the Halo-Halo shaved ice.
9. Leeann Chin
Founded in Minneapolis in 1980, Leann Chin spread throughout the Midwest thanks to its reasonable prices, but the quality has seemingly decreased in recent years.
Formerly the chain was known for a more sophisticated, high-end ambiance and food, but it has since transformed into a fast-food chain serving just decent food.
