Craving Chinese food?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable Chinese restaurants around New Orleans, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to venture next time you're on the hunt.
1. Dragon King
Topping the list is Dragon King, located at 6221 S. Claiborne Ave. in Marlyville-Fontaineblea. The Chinese spot is the highest-rated low-priced Chinese restaurant in New Orleans, boasting four stars out of 93 reviews on Yelp.
Yelper Alex N., who reviewed Dragon King on Sept. 7, wrote, "This just became my new favorite Chinese take-out in NOLA. Unassuming exterior and interior, but all of the food is super fresh and reasonably priced."
William L. noted, "After a couple of decades living in this neighborhood, I never got around to trying Dragon King. What a shame. The food here is first rate American-Chinese, ticking off most or all of the traditional offerings."
2. Rampart Food Store
Next up is Marigny's Rampart Food Store, situated at 1700 N. Rampart St. With four stars out of 33 reviews on Yelp, the grocery store, convenience store and Chinese spot has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an affordable option.
Yelper Lauren F., who reviewed Rampart Food Store on Sept. 5, wrote, "My husband loves holes in the wall with delicious food, so when I told him we were staying near a place that people called 'the orange place,' that sealed the deal."
Yelper Kenny C. wrote, "It's a convenience store that looks like a house from the outside, but has a kitchen in the back and a window where you can order food. Some random guys at a bar overheard us looking for po'boys and they recommended this place."
3. Hunan Wok
Seventh Ward's Hunan Wok, located at 2201 St. Bernard Ave., is another top choice. Yelpers give the inexpensive Chinese spot four stars out of 30 reviews.
Ryan M. noted, "Man, this is some solid Chinese food in the 7th Ward. Nothing ultra special about the place itself, but it's some good food coming outta there."
4. T & T Seafood
T & T Seafood, a Cajun/Creole and Chinese spot that offers seafood and more in St. Thomas, is another much-loved, budget-friendly go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 15 Yelp reviews. Head over to 548 Jackson Ave. to see for yourself.
Yelper C.S D., who reviewed T & T Seafood on April 8, wrote, "I only tried the crawfish but they were delicious! It was definitely a hole in the wall joint, which is proving to be where the good food is."
Yelper mark g. wrote, "You're not going to believe how good the food is in this bizarre, little bodega. I almost turned around walked out. I'm really glad I stayed. By far the best fried catfish sandwich in the entire world."
5. China House
Over in Little Woods, check out China House, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 15 reviews on Yelp. Dig in at the Chinese spot by heading over to 7040 Bullard Ave.
