El Paso, TX is a town nestled on the border of the United States and Mexico and has its fair share of delicious restaurants located throughout. If you’re in the mood for some Chinese cuisine, look no further because here is a list of five of our favorite Chinese restaurants to satisfy that craving!
1: Sun Garden Chinese Bistro
Searching for a traditional Chinese restaurant for dinner with the family or maybe a date? Then look no further: Sun Garden Chinese Bistro has everything you could want! They serve family-style traditional dishes to please the whole family or even share amongst friends. Don’t be fooled by the fact it’s located in a strip mall: you’ll find some of the best food with friendly staff and a quaint atmosphere here!
2: China Wok
Similar to the previous suggestion, China Wok is also located in a strip mall. The biggest difference between the two is that China Wok is a quick counter service-style restaurant. You can grab a menu, decide what you want, and order directly from the counter before taking your seat to enjoy your meal or carrying it out.
3: Red Lantern
Another great choice is Red Lantern: here you can find your classic dishes such as Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Chicken, and more! One thing that you won’t find often with other Chinese restaurants in El Paso is a beer and wine selection. At Red Lantern, you can enjoy a cold beer or glass of wine with your meal – if you’re of legal drinking age. Remember, if you are consuming alcohol, please drink responsibly and don’t drink and drive.
4: Paco Wong’s Chinese Restaurant & Bar
If you’re looking for a restaurant with deep roots, this is the place for you. Mr. Francisco Wong, also known as Paco, was a pioneer within the Chinese food community in El Paso. He established his first restaurant in 1960. Although he has long passed, his legacy lives on through his food. Serving up all the traditional dishes you could think of within an atmosphere decorated with traditional Chinese culture in mind, this is a place where you’ll experience not only amazing food but a sense of history.
5: Quik Wok
Setting itself apart from other similar restaurants in town is Quik Wok. While most are sit-down or counter services restaurants, you’ll experience all-you-can-eat-style cuisine. Find all your favorites included in the buffet, but if a buffet isn’t something you’re interested in that day, they do offer a la carte service.
Whether you are looking for a quick meal or a nice sit-down experience, you have plenty of options in El Paso. When those cravings hit, try one of our suggestions – who knows, you may find a new favorite!
