Chinese restaurants
Wok-based dining establishments
Chinese restaurants are eating establishments serving Chinese cuisine, or dishes adapted from it.
In Western countries, the term often evokes a particular style—buffets, takeout containers, fortune cookies, and dishes like General Tso's chicken that were invented for American palates.
We ordered from the Chinese restaurant down the street.
The phrase sometimes carries nostalgic or cultural associations with family dinners and late-night delivery.
