Deltona’s blend of young families, retirees, and commuters from both Orlando and Daytona means its best Chinese restaurants cater to all appetites and routines.
These local favorites are filled with both tradition and cheerful hospitality, feeding generations and making weeknight meals easy as pie.
1. China City
China City has claimed the crown as Deltona’s top takeout spot thanks to lightning-fast service, generous portions, and always-fresh classics.
Try lo mein heaped with crisp veggies, perfectly-seasoned hot and sour soup, and the signature “special fried rice” packed with pork, chicken, and shrimp.
The staff doesn’t blink at “extra spicy” notes or dietary needs, and regulars appreciate how the kitchen personalizes every order.
2. Bamboo Wok
Bamboo Wok’s open kitchen and counter are always bustling, with chefs stir-frying sesame beef, sweet and sour chicken, and spicy Szechuan tofu to order.
Dine-in is basic but pleasant and the staff know the menu inside out. Coupons and family meal bundles keep customers coming back, especially on Friday nights when whole families gather for a low-key feast.
3. Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant
Hong Kong is an old-school favorite that shines for egg foo young, Mongolian beef, and a peppery curry chicken that’s unique for the area.
The cozy booths fill at dinner, and takeout is always neatly packaged and ready on time.
The value can’t be beat—and neither can the kitchen’s attention to detail or the counter staff’s cheerful greetings.
4. Dragon City
Dragon City caters to big appetites with combo platters that dwarf the to-go boxes—orange chicken, beef with garlic sauce, pork fried rice in mountains, and always a bonus egg roll or two.
Service is quick and the kitchen has a loyal following, especially for their hot mustard and house-made sauces.
5. Panda Express
Right off the main drag, Panda Express keeps drivers and families fueled up. The crowd is diverse (nurses on break, kids in swim gear, grandparents making a quick dinner run), service is always friendly, and the small dining room is lively at any hour.
Stick with the classics or branch out with new menu additions.
