We love Single Fin. It's primarily a Sushi & Thai place that also has classic Chinese takeout dishes (general tsos, sesame chicken, lo mein). While not traditional Chinese takeout, this place is my go to when I get that craving https://www.singlefinobx.com/

It’s crazy to me that random small towns in rural areas will have Chinese restaurants that slap and OBX basically has nothing. I never even really noticed it until the other week when I was craving Chinese and did a google search. Yea there are Asian style options but none of those crispy general tso hole in the wall type place

There is a really interesting podcast by Gastropod, The United States of Chinese Food that discusses the history of why we have so many Chinese restaurants, especially in small towns.

Shun Xing is trash. Sanya in kitty hawk is the best I’ve had…but not great.

The Thai Room! You should definitely try the Spicy Shrimp Cakes... So good

New china in nags head. Hole in the wall atmosphere they put all the money in the food

best imo is the one in Manteo near Piggly Wiggly, but Shun Xing in Southern Shores is a solid mall chinese place, their slogan is practically “ready in 15 minutes”

Low to mid-tier American style is China King. That's the "best" you'll find.

Gone last year. They had issues with the landlord in terms of safety and improvements. Replaced by a pretzel place.
