Best Chinese Restaurants in Niagara Falls

From Cantonese dim sum in Fallsview to Sichuan noodles on Lundy's Lane and classic American-Chinese near State Park, here are the highest-rated Chinese restaurants on both sides of the falls.

Niagara Falls has a small but strong Chinese food scene. The Canadian sideis the standout: Mandarin Restaurant (the famous Canadian all-you-can-eat buffet) sits near Lundy's Lane with 27,000+ Google reviews and a 4.9 rating, while dim sum specialists like Hot Lobster Dim Sum on Main St and Sichuan specialty spot Chengdu Noodles offer more regional flavors.

The American side clusters around Rainbow Boulevard and downtown Niagara Falls NY: The Mami House does Asian-fusion with high ratings, Royal Dragon Noodle Bar & Grill and Chinatown Restaurant cover the comfort-food classics. Most are walking distance from the State Park.

Styles to know: Mandarin Restaurant is a Canadian chain with a massive buffet (dim sum, hot wok, North American); Chengdu Noodles is authentic spicy Sichuan (hand-pulled noodles, mapo tofu, dan dan); Hot Lobster Dim Sum does Cantonese small plates and BBQ pork buns.

Tip: weekday lunch is dramatically quieter than weekend dinner anywhere on either side. Mandarin has a 2-hour wait at dinner on Saturdays — go at 5 pm or use their online reservation.
