Savannah may be best known for Southern food, seafood and Lowcountry cooking, but the city has a Chinese food scene that deserves a lot more attention. From handmade soup dumplings and dim sum to Sichuan-inspired dishes and classic Chinese-American takeout, there are plenty of places around town worth knowing about.


Finding the best Chinese food in Savannah isn't always easy. Online ratings can tell you how popular a restaurant is, but they don't always tell you what makes it worth trying—or which restaurants are truly worth your time. That's where Dine•A•Might comes in.


We've looked beyond a single review score to consider local reputation, customer reviews, Savannah food publications, restaurant history, specialties and what people actually love about these restaurants. We also look at the practical information diners need before they go, including locations, menus, ordering options and current restaurant information.


Whether you're craving soup dumplings downtown, General Tso's chicken, a steaming bowl of noodles or a dependable neighborhood takeout dinner, this list gives you 20 Chinese restaurants in Savannah worth putting on your radar.

How We Chose the 20 Best Chinese Restaurants in Savannah


There isn't one magic number that tells you which restaurant is best.For Dine•A•Might, the goal is to give readers a more complete picture.


We considered:


Google ratings and review volume — because a restaurant with hundreds of reviews gives us a much larger sample of customer experience than one with only a handful.


Grubhub ratings and reviews — particularly useful for takeout restaurants because the platform reflects actual ordering customers. For example, Star Kitchen currently has 4.5/5 from 1.3K Grubhub ratings, a significant body of customer feedback.


Restaurantji — useful for comparing restaurants within Savannah's Chinese-food category.


TripAdvisor and Wanderlog — helpful for understanding visitor experiences and comparing review information across platforms.


Savannah Magazine — particularly important because its Best of Savannah results are based on reader voting. E-TANG has won the Chinese category in 2024, 2025 and 2026, while Flock to the Wok has been the runner-up during those years


.Local food coverage and reputation — including Savannah's food publications and recommendations from local chefs and diners.


Menu and specialty — because there's a big difference between a restaurant specializing in handmade dumplings and one specializing in traditional Chinese-American takeout.


Consistency and usefulness — because sometimes the best restaurant for you isn't the one with the highest number. It may be the closest neighborhood restaurant, the best takeout option, the best place for dumplings or the restaurant that can feed a family without breaking the bank.


The Bottom Line: Finding the Best Chinese Food in Savannah


Savannah's Chinese food scene has something for just about every craving—from handmade soup dumplings and dim sum to Sichuan-inspired dishes, wok-fired specialties and the classic Chinese-American takeout many of us grew up loving.


What makes this list different is that we're not simply counting stars or copying another “best of” list. We looked at the restaurants themselves, local food coverage, customer feedback, reputation and what Savannah diners are actually looking for when deciding where to eat.


At the top of the list, E-TANG stands out for good reason. Being named Savannah Magazine's Best Chinese restaurant three years in a row is a pretty compelling endorsement.


But Savannah has plenty of other worthwhile choices, whether you're looking for an affordable neighborhood takeout spot, a downtown dinner, dumplings, dim sum or a restaurant that has become a local favorite.


And that's ultimately what Dine•A•Might is about: helping you find the places worth eating at without having to dig through dozens of outdated lists and reviews to figure it out.


Bookmark this list, try a few of these restaurants for yourself and let us know which one you think deserves the title of Savannah's Best Chinese Food.
