Holy Mrs Molly! This place did not disappoint. I drove 38 mins from home just because of the reviews. The Vegetable Lo Mein and House special Mai Fun were so unique to most I've eaten. They have specific smokey flavors that leave you craving your next bite. Also their Broccoli and Garlic sauce was the best I've ever had! You can tell they make their own sauce! Comes with white rice which you strain the garlic sauce on to. That alone is so simple but gold due to the house made sauce. Much love was put into the food as expected! I'd drive an hour for this food! lol I'll be back.

This is my go to Chinese place in town. Their food is extremely hot, fresh, and when you order spicy it’s ACTUALLY spicy. The people here are always so kind and friendly. Whenever I’m craving a guilty pleasure I go here. They are open later than most Chinese places too. It’s a no brainer. I love getting the General Tso’s Tofu, Extra Spicy, with mixed vegetables added. They charge more but it’s like a hot and sweet crispy tofu dish with rice. Can’t beat it.

Nice place. Fairly small... 3 booths and 6 four-topper tables. Food is excellent. Was told buy one patron that this is the best Chinese food in nashville, but no one knows about it. It does appear small and unassuming, but the interior is well maintained and the food is very very good

I've known the folks at China Spring since we moved to this area in 1998 or soon after. And I have had Asian food all over Nashville. China Spring is the best. The BEST. They are so friendly, so personable, the food is absolutely awesome. We order at least every 2 weeks. The spring rolls, the soups, everything. You won't be disappointed unless you're just a grouch. lol

Best Chinese food I have found in my area! (Antioch) It was really good and good quality and quantity for the price! I got chicken Mei fun and chicken lo mein and grilled chicken and fries for the kids and fried dumplings which btw were the best and the sauce that comes with them is soooo good! All of it was 40 and that's not a bad price at all!

We've been ordering from China Springs for years! The food is consistently excellent, and the orders are always accurate. They pay attention to detail, and it shows. I always order the Mongolian beef, and I love that it has extra veggies and isn't swimming in sauce. An order isn't complete without crab rangoon, and theirs is always delivered hot and crispy. The portions are generous, which is why it's in a bowl. We immediately split the order between two people, which is more than enough. We've tried many other places before finding China Spring, and now it is the only place we order from! I highly recommend and thank the restaurant for consistently producing fantastic food and caring about the food you are putting out!

We ordered through UberEats, but I had to share how good this food was. Everything was a 10/10—completely exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for great Chinese food, this is the spot. I would’ve added pictures, but we ate it too fast!
