Nestled in Broward County, where palm trees sway and horses graze in quiet pastures, Davie’s Chinese restaurants are less about big city crowds and more about the joys of comfort, consistency, and friendly faces.
In Davie, dinner means platters of steaming dumplings, meals that feed whole blocks, and kitchens that know how to balance old-school butter-fried rice with dietary needs for a range of modern families.
1. China Hollywood
The beating heart of Davie’s Chinese scene, China Hollywood is an institution for both takeout and big family dine-ins.
Décor is classic and cheerful, and nothing on the menu disappoints: thick shrimp fried rice, sesame chicken glazed but never sticky, fluffy egg drop soup, and perfectly crisp spring rolls filled to bursting.
Longtime servers swap updates on local sports teams and know who likes their food “not too spicy” or “extra veggie.”
Orders always come out hot, neatly packed, and hearty enough to leave leftovers.
2. Chinatown Chinese Restaurant
Just off University Drive, Chinatown works magic with “all the hits”—crispy General Tso’s, Cantonese-style pan-fried noodles, beef & broccoli so tender it practically melts, and a house special hot and sour soup that regulars swear by for colds.
The kitchen caters effortlessly to gluten-free and vegetarian eaters, and the vibe is all local, all the time—groups of seniors filling the quieter booths at lunch, teenagers running in after swim practice, and families with babies in high chairs.
3. Lucky Express
This fast casual gem delivers quickly whether you order pad Thai (yes, there’s some Thai on the menu), sizzling spicy orange chicken, or extra-crispy egg foo young.
The kitchen deals in affordable innovation: if you want your beef extra spicy or your chicken sans sauce, it’s never a problem.
Lucky Express is especially loved for delivery—the drivers are fast and the food always hot, a favorite for late-night study sessions or impromptu get-togethers.
4. Egg Roll House
Egg Roll House is the best “hole in the wall” comfort food spot in west Davie—fans rave about their namesake dish (crunchy on the outside, generously filled), pork lo mein with that perfect smoky wok flavor, ginger shrimp, and combo platters that satisfy any hunger level.
Staff go above and beyond in friendliness, and the cozy, well-lived-in dining room is full of families on regular rotation.
5. Panda Express
Davie’s Panda is the weeknight hero, keeping the drive-thru line moving and the orange chicken, teriyaki steak, and chow mein at just the right temperature.
Parents love the kids’ meals, seniors appreciate the value, and staff have perfected the art of making every customer feel like their order is the most important of the night.
