China Mountain Restaurant — Restaurant in Chelmsford

Been driving past this place for years and decided to give it a try since the reviews were high. Prices are comparable to other Chinese spots within 10-15 minutes. Ordering online was easy and order was done within 15 minutes.

The food was surprisingly good. I ordered a large ragoon, daily special of the chicken lo mein, chicken fingers, wings and more ragoon and a choice combo of fried rice, shrimp in lobster sauce and spare ribs. I hate bean sprouts in my dishes and always put it in the request. No bean sprouts to be seen here (not sure if they normally have either). I found the fingers to have moist and plentiful meat. Wasn’t too much breading but also wasn’t too little. Lo mein was also good, lots of onions though. Wings were crispy and average sized. Separated which I appreciate as some give you whole pieces. The rice was fresh but a little dry for me. Small chunks to rice ratio was about 1:5. Quantity of pieces of pork is what is offered in the description, which is six pieces. The other reviewer must not have read this if they’re complaining about the portion. Can’t remember how many large pieces of shrimp was in the lobster sauce but it had to be at least four. The lobster sauce was very good even though the pork pieces were small. The flavor was there and it wasn’t too soupy. The ragoons were also good but not the best I’ve had. I also appreciate not huge chunks of onion in there as some places do that. Overall the experience and food was above average. Would I drive 20 minutes to grab it again? Probably not since I have three places by me, but if I was in the area, I would!

Family that owns this place was very nice and friendly. She appreciated the tip and the little girl in the store front called her mom when she realized I didn’t see the bell on the counter...

I work locally and we get lunch here at least twice a month, I've eaten a lot of their food over the years (probably close to 20 years now). I've never actually dined in, the place is VERY small, only like 4 small tables. But they do a TON of takeout. We've never rally had a bad meal here. I've had a fair amount of the non-seafood on the menu and it's always been good. Generous portions for a fair price. Service is always friendly and the food is ready FAST. My only complaint is the pork fried rice, it has no onions or bean sprouts in it. If you want those, you have to order one of the other fried rice options and on the combo meals it's a $3 adder. A lot of local places put that stuff in the fried rice with no up charge. But overall, always a good experience here. If you're a chicken wing fan, give those a try, some of the best Chinese chicken...

Update Nov 2025:

Still great food, portions and service. Will be back for the holidays- the family loves it too.

Fire chinese food. It’s hard to find chinese food that is fresh, not overly greasy, and where you can tell without question quality ingredients are used. From the fried rice, egg foo young, lobster sauce, crab rangoon (SO good). I tried them out a month ago and can’t wait to go back.

Atmosphere: Place is small, and I assume not many people choose to sit-in to eat, however would be nice to have more space for seating for those eating in and for folks waiting on takeout orders

Service: Can be slower, it took about 15 mins longer than expected for my food. However, given the freshness and taste- I’d say this was worth the wait.

Coming from Lowell, I am SO glad to have found a quality chinese...
