Where to eat Chinese food in Tallahassee.

Seven exact Tallahassee branches make different meals: Azu's Saturday dim sum on Apalachee Parkway, Happy Wok's moo shu on North Monroe Street, Great Wall's named Shanghai-style noodles on West Tennessee Street, and four more kitchens for vegetable plates, egg foo young, honey-garlic chicken and Hunan dishes. The picks use dated operator menus, with separate service windows, starting amounts and delivery limits.

Ways to make a meal.

Saturday dim sum

Plan for the operator's Saturday 11 AM–3 PM dim sum window. Choose the named Crystal Shrimp Dumpling and Pork Seafood Shumai or Shrimp Shumai from the posted image menu, and confirm dish availability by phone. Sunday buffet brunch has a separate service window.

Azu Lucy Ho's

Shanghai-style noodles

Use 3. Golden Noodles, whose operator description names Shanghai-style shrimp, beef, chicken and vegetables. Add the separately described Buddha's Delight if useful, check sauces and accompaniments, and call before relying on delivery because its published delivery page and pickup public selector differ.

Great Wall

Vegetable plate with sauce choice

Choose A. Long Life Vegetarian or E. Steamed Mixed Vegetables from Health Diet Menu, with its stated white rice and White, Brown or Garlic sauce on the side. Confirm sauce ingredients, Sunday closure and any address-specific delivery quote before planning the meal.

Chopstix Chinese

Different kitchens, different meals.

Azu Lucy Ho's

Saturday dim sum, with a separate Taiwanese-style noodle option

Apalachee Parkway

3220 Apalachee Pkwy Unit #13, Tallahassee, FL 32311850-893-4112

Azu's operator website gives a Saturday-only dim sum window and links a photographed menu with crystal shrimp dumplings, pork-seafood shumai and crab-and-pork xiaolongbao. Its separate Dinner Menu names Taiwanese Style Rice Noodles and vegetable dishes, so the regular menu remains useful outside dim sum hours.

Build an order. Crab & Pork Meat Xiaolongbao $7.00 is labelled 蟹肉小籠包 on the operator's Dim Sum image menu; the literal xiaolongbao type is stated, but a broth recipe is not. Pork Seafood Shumai $5.95 and Shrimp Shumai $6.50 are separate named items. Crystal Shrimp Dumpling $5.95 is labelled 水晶蝦餃, with an operator image showing translucent wrappers in a steamer. The image's counts are on separate price/count lines, not in these item titles. Separately, the posted Dinner Menu lists Taiwanese Style Rice Noodles $20, described with shrimp, pork and vegetables, and Two Mushroom Braised Tofu $14, described with mushrooms, basil and vegetables in tangy brown sauce; confirm dietary ingredients.

Before you go. The operator lists Monday–Thursday 11 AM–9 PM, Friday/Saturday 11 AM–10 PM and Sunday 10:30 AM–9 PM. Dim sum is only Saturday 11 AM–3 PM; Sunday buffet brunch 10:30 AM–2:30 PM is a different service, with no admission price verified here. The photographed Dim Sum menu is a dated observation, not an availability guarantee. Call the Tallahassee number 850-893-4112 before relying on a particular dish or window.

Dishes to know. Siu mai

Delivery: via apps The operator Menu page says it partners with DoorDash and Uber Eats as of 2026-10-09 and links both services. Current address eligibility, fees, minimums and whether Saturday dim sum is available through either platform were not tested; confirm before ordering.

Menu snapshot

Crab & Pork Meat Xiaolongbao $7.00 · Pork Seafood Shumai $5.95 · Crystal Shrimp Dumpling $5.95 · Shrimp Shumai $6.50

Operator posted Saturday Dim Sum image menu, read 2026-10-09. The four amounts are fixed posted prices; counts appear separately on price/count lines and are not supplied as title-based index counts. The operator says menu items and prices are subject to change. Dinner-menu amounts quoted separately in order use the operator's posted Dinner Menu, not the Saturday image channel. The crab item is outside the plain soup-dumpling standard comparison; no broth ingredients, stock or dine-in/online-price equivalence is inferred. Checked ; before tax, tip and fees. Prices can change, and delivery-app prices are often higher than the restaurant’s own.

Happy Wok

Moo shu with five pancakes, plus a named vegetable plate

North Monroe Street

3813-18 North Monroe St, Tallahassee, FL 32303850-514-3632

Happy Wok's bilingual operator menu gives its moo shu section five pancakes and white rice, with pork, chicken, beef, shrimp and vegetable choices. Its vegetable section separately names Buddha's Delight and General Tso's Bean Curd; the same site identifies Chinese food and Thai food as distinct parts of its menu.

Build an order. Choose Moo Shu Pork $12.95+ or Moo Shu Vegetable $12.95+ from the operator's Moo Shu section, which says 5 Pancakes & White Rice. The plus signs are literal starting amounts, so confirm the configured total. Buddha's Delight $11.50 is a fixed named option in Vegetables, a section served with white rice; ask about sauces and dietary ingredients. Steamed Dumplings (8) $8.95 are labelled 水饺8个, a generic dumpling format rather than a verified soup-dumpling, har-gow or siu-mai item.

Before you go. The ordering homepage lists Tuesday–Thursday 11 AM–8:30 PM, Friday/Saturday 11 AM–9 PM, Sunday 11:30 AM–8:30 PM and Monday closed. It explicitly shows pickup and dine-in enabled, delivery disabled. The posted menu's lunch window is 11:30 AM–3:30 PM; these regular moo-shu prices are separate. A yearless notice says closed August 9–12; do not infer a present October closure from that undated notice. The page also prints 850-514-1825 as a second phone.

Pickup only The operator ordering homepage shows pickup enabled and delivery disabled as of 2026-10-09, while dine-in is also enabled. This checked ordering service supports pickup; confirm current availability and total directly.

Great Wall

The menu's Shanghai-style Golden Noodles

West Tennessee Street

4220 W Tennessee St, Tallahassee, FL 32304850-576-4884

Great Wall's Chef's Specials explicitly describes Golden Noodles as Shanghai style with shrimp, beef, chicken and vegetables. That named noodle plate provides a different meal from the dim sum, moo shu and egg foo young picks, while the Vegetables section offers a separately described mixed-vegetable dish.

Build an order. Choose 3. Golden Noodles $20.95, described as Shanghai style shrimp, beef, chicken & vegs. 2. Four Seasons $20.45 is instead described with shrimp, lobster, chicken, roast pork and fresh vegetables in brown sauce. The Chef's Specials heading says with White Rice; confirm the accompaniment for the selected noodle plate. 62. Buddha's Delight $15.25 is described as Special Mixed Veg. in Vegetables, which also says white rice. Ask about sauces rather than assuming a fully vegetarian preparation.

Before you go. The operator location page lists Monday–Thursday 10:30 AM–10:30 PM, Friday/Saturday 10:30 AM–11 PM and Sunday closed. Its separately fetched Delivery Info publishes a 5-mile radius, $15 minimum and $7.98 fee, but the current public ordering view only showed Pick up. Call 850-576-4884 to confirm whether delivery is available for the address. The lunch section says 11 AM–3 PM and hides its items outside that window.

Delivery: direct The operator Delivery Info page publishes delivery within 5 miles, a $15 minimum and a $7.98 fee as of 2026-10-09. Its public menu selector only showed Pick up, so confirm current delivery availability and address eligibility by phone. The fulfillment provider is not identified and checkout was not tested.

Chopstix Chinese

A named vegetable-and-bean-curd plate, with optional seafood

Apalachee Parkway

3539 Apalachee Pkwy, Tallahassee, FL 32311850-219-3680

Chopstix's operator Health Diet Menu describes Long Life Vegetarian with snow peas, string beans, baby corn, broccoli, carrots and bean curd. That section supplies white rice and a sauce choice on the side; the separate Chef's Special menu offers salt-and-pepper shrimp for a seafood meal.

Build an order. A. Long Life Vegetarian $12.95 names snow peas, string beans, baby corn, broccoli, carrots & bean curd. E. Steamed Mixed Vegetables $12.95 is another named choice in Health Diet Menu, whose heading says white rice and a choice of White, Brown or Garlic sauce on the side. Confirm those sauces' ingredients for dietary needs. H15. Salt & Pepper Shrimp $17.99 belongs to the separate Chef's Special section, also headed white rice; it is not the vegetable dish or a cheaper combination product.

Before you go. The operator location page lists Monday–Thursday 11 AM–10 PM, Friday/Saturday 11 AM–10:30 PM and Sunday closed. Delivery Info states a 5-mile radius, $15 minimum and $7.98 fee, and explicitly says fulfillment is by third-party delivery services. These are published terms, not an address-tested quote; checkout and stock were not tested. The lunch section has an 11 AM–3 PM window, separate from these fixed regular dishes.

Delivery: via apps The operator-linked Delivery Info explicitly says orders are fulfilled by third-party delivery services as of 2026-10-09, with published 5-mile radius, $15 minimum and $7.98 fee. Address eligibility and final charges were not tested; confirm the current quote.

Empire Chinese

Egg foo young with a separately described vegetable-and-tofu plate

North Monroe Street

1700 N Monroe St #12, Tallahassee, FL 32303850-222-5550

Empire's operator menu separates egg foo young from combination platters, and its Vegetables section describes Buddha's Delight as mixed vegetables with tofu. Its bilingual appetizer names identify steamed dumplings as 水饺 and fried dumplings as 锅贴, without claiming a soup-filled or dim-sum-specific format.

Build an order. Choose 25. Vegetable Egg Foo Young $13.95 or 26. Roast Pork Egg Foo Young $14.75; the Egg Foo Young section says white rice. 51. Buddha's Delight $14.95 is described as Special mixed vegetables with tofu and belongs to a separate white-rice Vegetables section; confirm sauces and dietary ingredients. 1. Steamed Dumplings (8) $9.25 is labelled 水饺 and 1. Fried Dumplings (8) $9.25 is labelled 锅贴. Those generic dumplings are not assigned soup, har-gow or siu-mai format.

Before you go. The operator location page lists Monday and Wednesday–Saturday 11 AM–10:30 PM, Sunday 11:30 AM–10 PM, Tuesday closed. The checked online menu only offers Pick up and states a $10 minimum for pickup. It also says an account is required to checkout; no login, account creation or order was attempted. The menu prints lunch 11 AM–3 PM with no lunch on Sundays or holidays; that generic window does not override Tuesday's business closure.

No delivery listed No delivery listed on the operator's ordering page as of 2026-10-09; confirm by phone. The checked selector offered Pick up with a $10 minimum; generic hidden delivery dialogs do not establish a delivery service.

1000 W Tharpe St, Tallahassee, FL 32303850-385-5445

New China's regular Chef's Special menu describes Honey Garlic Chicken as deep-fried chicken in honey sauce with steamed broccoli. Its Dragon & Phoenix pairs jumbo shrimp and mixed vegetables with General Tso's chicken, while a separate Vegetable section names Home Style Tofu for a different choice.

Build an order. H 6. Honey Garlic Chicken $16.69 is described as chunks of chicken deep fried in special honey sauce, surrounded by steam broccoli. H 1.

New Stars

A Hunan-style chicken, beef or shrimp plate

Capital Circle Southwest

5032 Capital Cir SW #8, Tallahassee, FL 32305850-656-3311

New Stars' public KwickPOS menu names Hunan chicken, beef and shrimp in its Szechuan / Cantonese Special section, with each described as hot and spicy and served with white rice. Its exact Capital Circle Southwest branch, phone and weekly hours are printed on the same menu, whose public service view showed pickup.

Where can I plan a dim sum meal in Tallahassee?

Azu Lucy Ho's at 3220 Apalachee Pkwy Unit #13 lists dim sum only Saturday 11 AM–3 PM. Its posted Dim Sum image menu names crystal shrimp dumplings, pork-seafood shumai, shrimp shumai and crab-and-pork xiaolongbao. Sunday buffet brunch is a different service; call 850-893-4112 to confirm the chosen dishes.

Which menus name vegetable dishes?

Chopstix names Long Life Vegetarian with snow peas, string beans, baby corn, broccoli, carrots and bean curd. Happy Wok has Moo Shu Vegetable and Buddha's Delight; Empire describes its Buddha's Delight as mixed vegetables with tofu. Azu names Two Mushroom Braised Tofu. These named dishes support vegetarian-relevant planning, but sauces, broth and other dietary ingredients require confirmation.

Which regional dish labels are supported by the menus?

Great Wall describes 3. Golden Noodles as Shanghai style with shrimp, beef, chicken and vegetables. Azu's separate Dinner Menu names Taiwanese Style Rice Noodles. New Stars names Hunan chicken, beef and shrimp. These are literal dish/menu claims rather than restaurant-wide regional specializations or rankings.

Which checked branches list delivery?

Azu explicitly partners with DoorDash and Uber Eats. Chopstix's operator Delivery Info explicitly identifies third-party fulfillment, with 5-mile radius, $15 minimum and $7.98 fee. New China publishes 2.5 miles, $25 minimum and $5.99 fee. Great Wall publishes 5 miles, $15 minimum and $7.98 fee, but its public menu selector only showed pickup, so confirm delivery availability. Happy Wok disables delivery; none is listed in the checked Empire or New Stars ordering views.

What do the quoted prices and starting marks mean?

Amounts are operator-menu observations read 2026-10-09. Azu's four dim sum prices come from its posted Saturday image menu; Happy Wok's Moo Shu Pork and Moo Shu Vegetable explicitly show $12.95+ starting amounts. The other selected prices use the specified operator ordering menus. Lunch, dinner combinations, sizes, extras and delivery checkout totals are separate; no completed order or current stock is implied.
