Best Chinese Food in Scottsdale
Scottsdale, Arizona — updated August 22, 2026
Three Scottsdale Chinese restaurants, ranked by how settled their ratings are, from a north Scottsdale room with more than 800 reviews to a small Via de Ventura spot still building its record.
Listings verified
Scottsdale's Chinese restaurants are spread across the city's strip-mall corridors rather than clustered in one district, which means the choice usually comes down to which side of town you are on: Shea Boulevard, north Scottsdale Road, or the Via de Ventura pocket near the 101. The three below are the ones with real review histories behind them. We ranked them by how settled each rating looks, not just how high it is.
1. Liz Modern Asian
This is the most thoroughly reviewed Chinese restaurant on the list, holding a 4.6 rating across 831 reviews, which is a rating with enough weight behind it to trust on a first visit. It sits in a suite at 15323 N Scottsdale Rd, in the north Scottsdale stretch near the Kierland and Scottsdale Quarter shopping, so parking is shared with the rest of the center and fills up around the usual dinner hours. The kitchen's own site, lizmodernasianrestaurant.com, is the place to confirm current hours before driving up.
2. Jade Palace Restaurant
Jade Palace has the second-largest body of evidence here, 676 reviews at a 4.4 average, and that combination usually means a long-running neighborhood kitchen rather than a recent opening. It is at 9160 E Shea Blvd, which puts it in reach of the Shea corridor neighborhoods and a short drive from the 101. The rating sits slightly below Liz Modern Asian, but across nearly 700 reviews a 4.4 is a steadier signal than a higher score from a smaller sample. There is no listed website in our research, so call ahead if you want to check hours.
3. Hao Hao chinese restaurant
Hao Hao rates a shade higher than Jade Palace at 4.5, but on 123 reviews, so the number is promising rather than proven. It is tucked into a suite at 9210 East Via de Ventura, in the office-and-retail cluster north of the 101, which tends to mean a busy weekday lunch and a quieter evening. Menu and hours are posted at haohaoaz.com. Worth a try if you are already in that part of town and want something smaller than the two larger rooms above.
What we left off
A previous version of this guide included Great Wall Chinese Medicine Acupuncture on 75th Street. It rates well, 4.9 from 88 reviews, but it is a wellness clinic offering acupuncture, herbal medicine and cupping, not a restaurant, so it does not belong in a guide to Chinese food.
