Where to eat Chinese food in Waco.

King Noodle’s operator page identifies a Chinese fast-food menu at this exact Valley Mills Drive suite. The linked Chowbus menu offers Hometown Shaxian Noodles with scallion peanut butter sauce, alongside beef noodle soup and a separate Dumplings/Buns section. The Shaxian wording describes the dish; no wider regional restaurant identity is inferred.

Build an order. Start with N3. Hometown Shaxian Noodles $9.99, described as noodles with scallion peanut butter sauce. D1. Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings (5) $8.99 appears beside the Chinese name 汤包 in Dumplings/Buns. S1. Beef Noodle Soup $14.49⁺ lists bok choy, cilantro, green onion, sliced beef and a tea egg. The superscript ⁺ is retained as a starting marker. D4. Shrimp Steamed Dumplings (6) $8.99 is labelled 虾饺 (har gow) on the same menu; its label states six, without a wrapper-recipe description.

Before you go. The operator lists Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 11 AM-9:30 PM, Friday and Saturday 11 AM-10 PM, Sunday 11 AM-9 PM, and Tuesday closed. Chowbus instead lists Friday ordering until 9:45 PM. Its checked screen is headed Pickup; delivery, fees and an address-specific service area were not verified. Confirm the relevant closing time before a late order.

Cathay House’s operator page directly links a MealKeyway menu matching 825 Wooded Acres Drive and its first listed phone. The menu separates Dim Sum from Traditional Chinese Dish, Vietnamese Pho and Japanese Dishes. This meal focuses on the explicitly named Dim Sum section rather than treating every part of the mixed menu as Chinese.

Build an order. Consider 17.Steam Soup dumplings(8) $8.95, 19.Big Pork Bun(2) $4.75 and 15.Scallion Pancakes(4) $3.25 from Dim Sum. The soup-dumpling label states eight; it has no ingredient description. 13.Steam Soimai(6) $5.50 is another literal section label, with no Chinese name or filling/wrapper description on the checked page. It is kept separate rather than assigned an unstated dumpling format. The Traditional Chinese Dish section also lists 3.Cumin Lamb $14.99+ with a separate starting-price plus.

Before you go. The home page gives Tuesday-Sunday 11 AM-9 PM and two phones: 254-776-1072 and 254-776-1025. It prints no Monday hours, while the ordering menu’s lunch section says Monday-Saturday 11 AM-3 PM; confirm Monday service. The operator-linked page offers pickup or delivery, without a verified courier, radius or fee. A separate merchant embed returned a server-error message; the direct customer link was readable.

Cha Community explicitly describes its food as Taiwanese and Chinese-inspired. The Downtown Waco branch lists food daily from 11 AM, separate from earlier weekday tea and coffee service. Its operator-linked Square menu was selected to Pickup from 1001 Franklin Ave and shows Waco Menu; the Temple shop and 8th Street drinks location are separate branches.

Build an order. Consider Braised Pork Rice Box (滷肉飯) $12.50, described as Chinese braised pork with rice, cucumber salad, slaw and two pork dumplings. Spring Onion Pancake 蔥油餅 $5.25 comes with soy and green-onion sauce. Pork Gua Bao 刈包 (set of 2) $8.00 is described as a Taiwanese pork-belly bao with cucumber and peanut sauce. Soup Dumplings Xiao Long Bao 小笼包 (NEW RECIPE) $10.50 - $14.50 explicitly contains pork and savory broth, but the displayed range is not a fixed price and its title states no count.

Before you go. Downtown Waco’s operator hours are Monday-Friday 9:30 AM-8 PM and Saturday-Sunday 11 AM-8 PM, with food daily 11 AM-8 PM. The selected Square screen instead says Food Menu W available 11:25 AM-7:29 PM. Its footer still displays Temple’s address, phone and hours despite the Waco pickup header; those footer details are not used for this branch. The locations page names DoorDash delivery via Square.

Delivery: via apps The operator locations page explicitly lists DoorDash delivery via Square for Downtown Waco. Fees, delivery radius, address acceptance and current checkout availability were not verified.

Ocean Buffet’s own Waco page explicitly describes Chinese food alongside sushi, seafood and American dishes. Its menu publishes separate lunch, weekday dinner, Friday crab-leg and weekend buffet amounts, plus carryout by weight. This is a buffet meal with a Chinese selection; the source does not identify which individual dishes will be stocked on a particular visit.

Build an order. The Lunch Buffet section lists Adult $14.59 for Monday-Friday 11 AM-3:30 PM. The Dinner Buffet section lists Adult $18.59 for Monday-Thursday 3:30-9:30 PM, and Adult (w. Crab Legs) $19.99 for Friday 3:30-10 PM. Weekend Adult is also $18.59, a separate section rather than a different dish label. Carryout is charged by weight and requires choosing at least three items; do not treat the buffet amount as the price of a named entree.

Before you go. The own website lists Monday-Thursday 11 AM-9:30 PM, Friday-Saturday 11 AM-10 PM and Sunday 11 AM-9 PM. It uses 505 Westview Vlg; its WoiEat-branded provider page instead uses 505 N Valley Mills Drive with the same phone. The own About paragraph mistakenly names King Buffet in Pottstown. Confirm the address; neither discrepancy is treated as a second restaurant. The advertised pickup ordering hostname failed DNS resolution.

No delivery listed No delivery verified from the checked operator pages as of 2026-10-09; confirm by phone. The operator describes pickup, but its advertised ordering hostname did not resolve. No delivery provider, fee or address eligibility was verified.

Summer Palace’s current operator website identifies a Chinese menu at 1201 Hewitt Drive with a matching phone. Its Vegetables section offers string beans, bean curd and moo shu vegetable, while other sections cover poultry, beef, pork and seafood. The operator uses a Waco postal address; no municipal-boundary finding is made from the Hewitt road name.

Build an order. Consider 93. Dried Sauteed String Beans $10.19, 97. Bean Curd Home Style $9.99 and 91. Moo Shu Vegetable $10.19. Bean Curd Home Style is described as bean curd stir-fried with vegetables in a light sauce. Moo Shu Vegetable explicitly includes scrambled eggs wrapped with vegetables in a thin pancake. These are named vegetable dishes, not a vegan or allergen guarantee. The selected operator menu lists 9. Wonton Soup $2.99 as a fixed amount; the separate BeyondMenu listing prints 9 Wonton Soup $2.99+.

Before you go. The current website lists takeout Monday-Saturday 11 AM-3 PM and 4-8:30 PM, Sunday closed. Its Store Information panel gives the same pickup and delivery hours. The operator offers delivery, but no courier, fee or service area was verified. A former-looking domain returns unrelated gambling content and is excluded. The separate BeyondMenu listing matches this branch but carries plus markers absent from some current website entries.

The P.F. Chang’s operator page identifies its Legends Crossing branch on Crosslake Parkway and directly links the matching Waco Olo menu. The branch describes Chinese food within a broader Asian-inspired selection. Its Ma Po Tofu is a distinct tofu-and-broccoli meal, with the menu’s own vegetarian marker rather than an inferred dietary label.

Build an order. Consider Ma Po Tofu $16.50, described as crispy tofu, sweet-spicy red chili sauce and steamed broccoli. Mongolian Beef $23.50 lists sweet soy glaze, flank steak, garlic and green onion; Chili-Garlic Green Beans $8.89 lists fiery red chili sauce, fresh garlic and Sichuan preserves. The selected menu marks Ma Po Tofu vegetarian, a definition that can include dairy or eggs.
