Our “Best Restaurants in Guelph” blog is one of the top-ranked results for local dining, but we’ve had a lot of requests for more cuisine-specific guides. So here it is: our top 6 picks for the best Chinese food in Guelph. These are long-standing local favourites we’ve personally ordered from many times, along with hidden gems worth discovering.

Woks Taste
📍 10 Carden St, Downtown Guelph (across from City Hall)
Woks Taste has been a downtown staple for decades, and any restaurant that’s lasted this long is clearly doing something right. Their menu is split into Canadian-style and Chinese-style dishes — so you can choose your comfort level.
Prices are fair compared to other cuisines in the city, and they’re known for being accurate and on time.

Ray’s Chinese
📍 35 Harvard Rd (Campus Estates Plaza)
A small but loyal following keeps Ray’s busy, especially with University of Guelph students. It’s located in a plaza that’s become a multicultural food hub, and Ray’s fits right in.
Their website is simple but includes both the menu and online ordering, which is a big plus.

Royal City Chinese
