Where to eat Chinese food in Kansas City.

Five operators publish Kansas City, Kansas addresses on Minnesota Avenue, North 38th Street, Parallel Parkway, Rainbow Boulevard and Shawnee Drive. The other two meals are explicitly neighboring Kansas selections: China Star in Roeland Park and China King in Shawnee. This guide keeps those addresses separate from Kansas City, Missouri and the existing Overland Park selections. Tao Tao's menu explicitly names Springfield Cashew Chicken; the remaining meals cover half duck, moo shu, Ma-La fried rice, seafood, vegetarian-section tofu and Hunan beef.

Ways to make a meal.

Springfield-named chicken and steamed dumplings

Pair the chicken-entree Springfield Cashew Chicken with Steam Dumplings, adding a named dish from Vegetarian Options if needed. The chicken card carries a starting-price mark. Use Tuesday–Saturday business hours and confirm lunch availability because the two lunch statements disagree with each other and with Monday closure.

Tao Tao

Half duck and pork-and-vegetable potstickers

Use the plain Duck 1/2 label and the potsticker description without assigning a duck preparation or an unstated dumpling quantity. The checked ordering channel lists carryout and marks delivery unavailable. Carryout ends fifteen minutes before the Monday–Saturday business close; confirm rice accompaniments because the lunch and dinner headings have inverted times.

Panda King

A vegetarian-section meal in neighboring Roeland Park

Choose Bean Curd with Mixed Vegetables and Fresh Broccoli with Garlic Sauce from Vegetarian Dishes, served with white rice. Both cards display starting amounts. This meal is at 4988 Roe Avenue in Roeland Park; Tuesday is closed, and delivery ends thirty minutes before business hours on open days.

China Star — Roeland Park

Different kitchens, different meals.

Tao Tao

Springfield Cashew Chicken with steamed dumplings

Minnesota Avenue at 13th Street

1300 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, KS 66102913-342-1331

Tao Tao's operator identifies Kansas City, Kansas and links directly to its own Menufy menu. That menu names Springfield Cashew Chicken in its chicken-entree section, with steamed rice included by the section heading. It also separates ordinary dumplings, several rangoon flavors and an explicit Vegetarian Options section. The Springfield name is source-backed; the menu does not describe that chicken's recipe.

Build an order. Choose Springfield Cashew Chicken $13.99+ with Steam Dumplings (6) $6.99. Kung Pao Vegetables with Peanuts $13.99+ is a separately named dish under Vegetarian Options, whose heading includes steamed rice. These are the chicken-entree and vegetarian cards, rather than the separate lunch or combination cards. The two + marks are starting amounts; the dumplings are ordinary steamed dumplings, with no soup-filled or dim sum format stated.

Before you go. Business, carryout and delivery hours are Tuesday–Saturday 11:45 AM–8:00 PM; Monday and Sunday are closed. The homepage's everyday 11:00 AM–3:00 PM lunch statement differs from the menu's Monday–Saturday noon–3:00 PM lunch heading and the posted Monday closure. Use the business schedule and confirm lunch availability before planning around either lunch statement.

Delivery: direct The operator publishes delivery hours Tuesday–Saturday 11:45 AM–8:00 PM, with Monday and Sunday closed. Fees, delivery radius and address-level eligibility were not tested.

Panda King

A menu-labelled half duck with pork-and-vegetable potstickers

Parallel Parkway near 49 Street

4840 Parallel Pkwy, Kansas City, KS 66104913-287-5066

Panda King's operator publishes the Parallel Parkway address and links to its branch's Menufy menu. The menu lists a half-duck item in both entree sections and describes its potstickers as pork-and-vegetable dumplings. Those two dishes supply the duck meal here. The selected duck card does not specify a cooking method, sauce or regional preparation, so the guide keeps its plain menu wording.

Build an order. Pair 25/ Duck 1/2 $26.99 with 2/ Potstickers $5.99, described as Pork and Vegetables Dumpling. General Tso Chicken $12.49 is another named main in House Specials. The menu also names 23/ Mixed Vegetable. No potsticker piece count is printed in its selected label, and the half-duck label does not establish Peking duck or a barbecue preparation.

Before you go. Business hours are Monday–Saturday 10:30 AM–10:00 PM, with Sunday closed; carryout ends at 9:45 PM. The menu's Dinner Entrees heading says fried rice from 10:30 AM–2:00 PM, while Lunch Entrees says steamed rice from 2:00–10:00 PM. Those headings are inverted relative to their printed times; confirm accompaniments rather than correcting them by assumption.

China Feast — 38th Street

Moo shu with a choice of meat, pancakes and rice or noodles

North 38th Street

1317 N 38 St, Kansas City, KS 66102913-573-2300

China Feast's 38th Street operator menu is tied to a Kansas address and phone, distinct from the Missouri China Feast menus. Its moo shu card describes a choice of chicken, pork, beef or shrimp with rice or noodles, a crab rangoon, moo shu sauce and pancakes. Use that described meal here; the appetizer dumplings have a pork filling and a steamed-or-fried choice.

Build an order. Choose 69. Moo Shu $13.49+, whose description includes a choice of chicken, pork, beef or shrimp, rice or noodles, one crab rangoon, one cup of moo shu sauce and three pancakes. Add 4. Dumplings $5.99, described as Steamed or fried. Contain pork Comes with the dumpling sauce. The Vegetarian Entrees section names 77.

Aloha Chopstix

Ma-La fried rice with chicken, beef and shrimp

Rainbow Boulevard

4316 Rainbow Boulevard, Kansas City, KS 66103913-677-6789

Aloha Chopstix's operator publishes the Rainbow Boulevard Kansas address and links to its own Menufy menu. Its fried-rice section describes Ma-La Fried Rice as chicken, beef and shrimp with a brown sweet-and-spicy sauce. That source description supplies a separate fried-rice meal, alongside ordinary steamed dumplings and named vegetable dishes. The menu also contains similarly named dishes in multiple sections with different prices.

Build an order. Share Ma-La Fried Rice 麻辣炒饭 $11.45+ with Steamed Dumplings (8) 水饺 $8.45. Vegetable Fried Rice 菜炒饭 $9.45+ is a separate named vegetable option. These prices use the Fried Rice and Appetizers sections, rather than the lunch or special-combo cards. The Ma-La description names chicken, beef and shrimp; the steamed-dumpling label names ordinary 水饺 without a soup-filled or dim sum identity.

Before you go. Business, carryout and delivery hours are Tuesday–Thursday 11:00 AM–9:15 PM, Friday–Saturday 11:00 AM–10:00 PM and Sunday 11:00 AM–9:20 PM; Monday is closed.

Sunny China

Seafood combination with shrimp, crabmeat and scallop

Shawnee Drive

4633 Shawnee Dr, Kansas City, KS 66106913-236-5333

Sunny China's operator links to a public ordering menu with the matching Shawnee Drive address and phone. Its Seafood Combination description names shrimp, crabmeat and scallop with Chinese vegetables in white sauce. Use that seafood dish and the separately named seafood soup here. The menu also has a Vegetable Delight section and ordinary dumplings; item options were not selected.

Build an order. Choose Seafood Combination $13.99 with Seafood Soup (For 2) $8.29, or add Steamed Dumpling $7.49. The seafood combination's description names shrimp, crabmeat and scallop with Chinese vegetables in white sauce. General Tso's Tofu is also named in Vegetable Delight. The dumpling card shows a separate 6pcs description, but its selected title has no count; no quantity is added to that title or treated as an indexed dim sum format.

China Star — Roeland Park

Vegetarian-section bean curd and garlic broccoli with rice

Roe Avenue in neighboring Roeland Park

4988 Roe Avenue, Roeland Park, KS 66205913-432-8882

China Star's operator identifies a Roeland Park Kansas address, separate from the Missouri China Star branch already covered elsewhere. Its current menu has an explicit Vegetarian Dishes section served with white rice, including bean curd with mixed vegetables and broccoli with garlic sauce. Use that section for the tofu-and-vegetable meal, with ordinary steamed dumplings as a separate appetizer.

Build an order. Choose 107. Bean Curd with Mixed Vegetables $10.95+ and 108. Fresh Broccoli with Garlic Sauce $10.95+ from Vegetarian Dishes, whose heading includes white rice. Add 7. Steamed Dumplings (8) $8.75 from Appetizers if desired. The two vegetable cards retain their starting-price marks; confirm ingredients and sauces for requirements beyond the operator's vegetarian section label.

Before you go. Business and carryout hours are Monday and Wednesday–Thursday 10:30 AM–10:00 PM, Friday–Saturday 10:30 AM–10:30 PM and Sunday 11:00 AM–10:00 PM; Tuesday is closed.

China King — Shawnee

Hunan beef with fried-or-steamed dumplings

West 66th Street in neighboring Shawnee

22068 W 66th St, Shawnee, KS 66226913-422-8855

China King's operator explicitly describes Hunan and Szechuan styles and publishes a Shawnee Kansas address in Monticello Center. Its current menu separates Hunan and Szechuan Special Dishes from lunch, combination and ordinary beef sections. Choose the named Hunan beef meal from that special-dishes section. The same menu describes several vegetable dishes without requiring a regional identity for every item.

Build an order. Choose 10. Hunan Beef 湖南牛 $13.49+ or 11. Hunan Chicken 湖南鸡 $11.99+ from Hunan & Szechuan Special Dishes. Pair either with 7. Fried or Steamed Dumplings (6) 锅贴或水饺 $8.19. Sauteed Triple Jade is separately described as snow peas, broccoli and zucchini. The two Hunan cards retain +; the dumplings are ordinary fried-or-steamed dumplings. That specials heading does not state an accompaniment, so confirm it rather than borrowing another section's rice heading.

Before you go. Business hours are Monday and Wednesday–Saturday 10:30 AM–9:00 PM and Sunday 11:00 AM–9:00 PM; Tuesday is closed. Delivery runs 11:00 AM–8:15 PM on each open day. Carryout normally ends at 8:30 PM, but Wednesday also lists a separate 8:31–8:45 PM window; confirm that unusual split rather than treating it as a continuous later close.

Delivery: direct The operator publishes delivery Monday and Wednesday–Sunday 11:00 AM–8:15 PM, with Tuesday closed. Those hours are shorter than business hours. No fee, radius or address-level eligibility was tested.

A little more clarity.

Does this guide cover Kansas City, Kansas or Kansas City, Missouri?

This is the Kansas-side guide. Five operators publish Kansas City, KS addresses; China Star publishes Roeland Park, KS and China King publishes Shawnee, KS. Those two neighbors are explicitly labelled throughout. The existing Kansas City guide uses six Missouri branches, and the separate Overland Park guide has different Kansas branches. No Missouri or Overland Park meal is reused here.

Which regional dishes are explicitly named by the operators?

Tao Tao's chicken-entree menu names Springfield Cashew Chicken, served with steamed rice. Its menu gives no recipe for that item. China King's Shawnee operator describes Hunan and Szechuan styles, and its Hunan & Szechuan Special Dishes section names Hunan Beef and Hunan Chicken. Those are source labels, not a regional identity assigned to every dish or restaurant.

Where can I order dumplings, and are soup dumplings or dim sum verified?

Tao Tao lists Steam Dumplings (6), Panda King describes pork-and-vegetable potstickers, China Feast offers steamed or fried pork dumplings, and Aloha Chopstix, Sunny China, China Star and China King also name ordinary dumplings. The seven checked menus did not establish a soup dumpling, har gow or siu mai price observation. This source limit does not establish that those dishes are unavailable elsewhere.

Which meals are relevant to vegetarian diners?

China Star Roeland Park has an explicit Vegetarian Dishes section with bean curd and garlic broccoli, served with white rice. Tao Tao also has Vegetarian Options, and the other menus name vegetable or tofu dishes. China Feast's Vegetarian Entrees heading includes a crab rangoon or an egg roll with an upcharge, so its section name does not guarantee a wholly vegetarian meal. Confirm sauces, stock and accompaniments for your needs.

What price channels, delivery options and hours were checked?

The amounts come from each specified operator or operator-linked public online menu, read 2026-10-09. Starting marks with + are retained. Sunny China's initial cards show options that were not selected. Tao Tao, Aloha Chopstix, China Star Roeland Park and China King Shawnee publish delivery; Panda King and China Feast's checked dialogs mark delivery unavailable, and Sunny China's delivery remains unverified. Business, carryout and delivery windows can differ, and the conflicting meal headings are kept in the restaurant records.
