I come here almost every week and used to go when I was in school at Meredith all the time! So this place is on of the highest recommended places I tell people about! You definitely have to try the Singapore noodles and the sesame chicken combination with white rice! It's absolutely amazing! The owners are so nice which makes the service great and the ambiance is great as well but their food is spectacular read more

The food was tasteful, and the prices were reasonable. My food was hot, and there was not a long wait time for food. The restaurant was clean, and the location was not difficult to find. Be careful driving up the steep area of the parking lot on the side of the building (coming off of HWY 40 down Hillsborough St towards the restaurant). If you're not careful, you will scrape the bottom of your vehicle. read more

I ordered take out and the service was pretty fast, took only about 10 minutes. I got the sesame chicken and crab rangoons and both were very good! Very classic and just what i was looking for. It was a little pricey but one dish can be split between 2. read more

This place is the best! I've been coming here for years and it always hits the spot. Everything is great but my number one rec is the general tso's chicken and I love their hot and sour soup as well. The staff is super nice and accommodating. It's a nice chill spot to dine in as well while you do work or read a book etc. great portions as well. Definitely what I needed on a rainy day. read more

Beansprout Chinese Restaurant - General Tso's Chicken with hot and sour soup - Chinese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This is what you expect when you come to a fast food Chinese restaurant. Simple food, reasonable price, and decent taste. The restaurant itself is really rundown with very minimal seating. Services decent, and you can get your food pretty quick. Taste wise, it's really average. I've had much better, fast food, Chinese food, but also much worse. My one complaint is that their fried rice and their noodles mostly just salty rather than having other nice flavors in it. I will give them credit because I asked for it to be spicy, and they gave a delicious chili oil on the side. read more

I love this place! Wonderful service, wonderful food, everything's great. Can't recommend highly enough

Had the Hunan beef -- it was overly salty, overcooked, and low quality. I had an upset stomach and bad diarrhea the next day. Can't believe this place is rated 4.3 -- this was the worst Chinese food I've ever had. It tasted cheap, prepackaged, and reused -- like they cut corners everywhere. Nothing felt freshly prepared. Food was bland it seemed like they didn't know how to cook and added msg and salt slapped it in and called it Chinese Cuisine. Do better. read more

Quintessential mom and pop chinese food. He cooks, she takes orders. Daily lunch specials listed on the board are amazingly inexpensive and great. Give this spot a try. You will be happy you found it. read more

Over all good experience and value. Cashew chicken was very light on protein and very heavy on celery.

Consistently tasty Chinese restaurant near Meredith. I always pass this joint driving along Hillsborough. It's an unassuming stand alone building along the road with a slim parking lot. When I saw the reviews, I decided on a whim to stop by and haven't been disappointed since. It's mostly a take out place, although they do have tables inside of you want eat fresh. Since the pandemic they have placed some protection in front of the cashier stand. The owners have a thick accent and can be curt, but they're nice people and busy since it's popular with the students. This recent order was for the Hunan chicken dinner combo. Egg roll not pictured. Standard veggies with chicken in a brown sauce. A "healthier" option for American Chinese food since there's some vitamins instead of just fried chicken ;) The sauce has a nice kick with the pepper flakes and it's not overly greasy like some other places I've visited. I ordered the fried rice with egg: classic taste. The egg roll has a hint of mustard. read more

The food was delicious and the employees were very friendly. Will definitely be returning soon. My favorites were the orange chicken, crab rangoon, and the egg rolls. read more

The number of positive Yelp reviews brought me to this restaurant on a Saturday evening. This is a takeout restaurant that has a few tables that you can eat at, but there is no waitress or waiter service. We were excited to see that they had moo shu chicken on the menu, so two of us ordered the combination dinner that included an egg roll fried rice and two pancakes. It was less than one minute from having our name called to eating. The egg rolls were already lukewarm and soggy. The main meal was hot, but the dish was skimpy on the chicken. Overall, I rate this as a good place but would not go out of my way to return. read more

Love this place. Consistently good food & service. I look forward to my Chinese takeout nights

Unfortunately I devoured all of my food before remembering to take a picture. I guess that's a sign it was good? Their website is a little vague on lunch combos so I called my order in for a sesame chicken combo (rice and egg roll) which was ready in 10 minutes. The parking lot is a bit small, but you can always park along the road right beside it. The employee greets me upon walking in and had everything ready. I was in and out in probably two minutes. My dinner was good except there was one funky piece of chicken that was cooked too much and tasted like shrimp (before I realized it and spit it out). Overall, it's one of the good Chinese places in the area (yet still not as good as Red Pepper Asian). read more

If you're looking for simple cheap Chinese food...this is the place. It's right near NC state and Meredith so it's pretty popular for college kids. They have great lunch deals and good dinner combinations. You can get an entree, rice, and an egg roll for right around $8. I also judge a place by their crab Rangoons and these ones are great! I have had their sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, broccoli with beef, general Tsos chicken, all good options. Do not be discouraged by the looks of this place, good quality cheap Chinese food. read more

I actually was really upset coming a while ago when their system on Christmas was out. But they always deliver delicious food and are very kind and timely! Very clean restaurant. The service is always professional and friendly. I eat here very often and they have an extensive and tasty menu! read more

For was not fresh. It tasted as though it had just been sitting on the counter for a few hours, and then they just gave it to me. I ordered the orange chicken and it was very tough. The rice was cold. Although the staff was friendly I will not be returning. read more

A friend just told me about this place and I'm so surprised I never stopped by after always driving down Hillsborough. They have a very large and extensive menu and everything is super cheap. It is a hole in the wall spot and a small family business. The price is so good for the portions and they really have everything. I got chicken wings and chicken fried rice for my first time because I wasn't too hungry and wanted a quick bite but it was super delicious! I loved their crab Rangoon as well- I love places who actually fill up the roll because many places crab Rangoon's always have a large amount of crust with little filling. My friend got the pork dumplings (I don't eat pork) and said she always gets them because they're so good. If they offered a different filling I would've tried but they don't. When scrolling on yelp I see that everyone gets and loves the sesame tofu so my mind has been set on going back to try it so I can see what the hype is about. Will update! read more

Placed a lunch order online and picked up earlier than they estimated. My first time at a Chinese place, I always get Hunan Chicken, steamed rice. And an egg roll. It's always a good sign when the hot sauce is that hot crispy oil in the small plastic container. It smelled so good in the car, I ate it in the parking lot. Man the broccoli and veggies were cooked perfectly and the chicken was decadent and quite flavorful. Given the "hole in the wall" nature of this place, I was not expecting food THIS good. The egg roll was flaky and flavorful as well. As I sat eating in the parking lot, there was a steady stream of patron entering and exiting. Great job Beansprout! I'll definitely be back. read more

1st thing I wanna say is i appreciate this place being the only Chinese restaurant open near my house at 10pm on a Sunday! Interior: the inside of the restaurant isn't much. I wouldn't recommend dining in, the inside has a stench that smells like sewer It makes me sick to my stomach, I almost canceled my order. Also the glass door which is the entrance is shattered and doesn't look safe. Process: I ordered online using their website, I placed my order at 9:30, It was confirmed at 9:31 with a estimated finish time of 9:49. So I showed up at 10pm expecting my food to had been ready but I had to wait an additional 20 minutes. So It took my food an hour to be ready. Which is fine! But don't send me a text at 9:50 saying my order is ready when It in fact isn't and won't be ready for another 30 minutes. That's an issue. Food: I ordered sesame chicken, orange chicken, white rice, egg rolls and fried wontons. The fried wontons and egg rolls didn't have much flavor they just tasted like the oil they were fried in. But everything else was amazing. read more

I haven't been back to Beansprout in almost 2 years. Not sure if the owners changed but it wasn't the 5-star like I had remembered. I walked in and it didn't seem like the lady at the cash register didn't want to take my order. I was not greeted at all. I went with my usual "light" orange tofu. As I sat and waited for my order, a Caucasian man walks in and he gets greeted right away. What the heck? When I received my food, the fried rice was cold like it's been sitting for a while. I had to ask for some wonton chips for my soup and the lady gave me an attitude like she didn't want to give it to me. Overall, I was disappointed today; especially as a loyal customer who's always been advocating and promoting this restaurant. This may be my last time here. Peace read more

Decent Chinese food, yummy enough to eat there twice, restaurant is kind of gross and the lady will argue with you about what you're ordering lol read more

I was impressed with how busy this restaurant was on a Saturday afternoon, especially considering how bad the interior of building looks. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed the moo shu chicken, and my husband liked the cashew chicken. The egg rolls were mushy and flavorless. The fried rice was good. I read Yelp reviews prior to arrival, and I understand why this restaurant is popular among college kids. It is inexpensive and there are not many decent Chinese restaurants in the area. My lasting impression, though, is concern for the safety of the kitchen given the dismal state of the customer facing parts of the restaurant. read more

Sesame tofu, lo mein and spring roll is my go to order for straight-up 5 years. It's amazing, portion is aways enough for two meals for me. Service is 5/5, fast and efficient Ambiance is 5/5, one of those rundown looking restaurants that you would fully expect the food to be read more

This is one of my favorite places when I was in college. We would go here all the time because of the cost and the amount of food you would you. To be honest, it is still the same as it was then. This is one of those that places that you go for quick, unhealthy, Chinese food. If you are looking for the new trendy healthy food, this ain't the place. This is the place where the college kids can go and get a good meal for their money. This visit we got: fried Tofu with General Tso sauce, fried rice, spring roll and chicken wings Everything was hot and fresh. The order was correct as ordered and nothing was a miss. I would recommend awaiting a few mins before eating the tofu, at first it is somewhat really hard because of the frying process. After a few mins, once it cooled down - it was soft and tasty. Now, they have a "shield" up to meet the COVID protocol. The man at the register didn't have a mask on, but again he was behind the "shield". They would pass the bag to you once your food was completed via a "door" within the "shield" . read more

Chicken was good very hot when I got it the service was good as well my only concern was the smell of the restaurant it kinda smelled like old chicken in there but when I got my food the chicken smelled like chicken it didn't smell old so I thought maybe it's a plumbing problem but food was delicious read more

Great food, good portions, extensive menu, fast service with friendly communication! My go-to spot for Chinese food.

Loved this place, if we lived closer to NCSU it would be my default take out! They make everything fresh when you order and the Szechuan actually tastes like Szechuan! Nice tofu vegan dishes and the chicken was awesome! They prepared orders so fast while we waited, just better for take out than dine in! Interior is kind of dated, but the food more than makes up for it! read more

Wanted to update and say the general tso's tofu is SO good!! It's an awesome vegan option, super crispy and sauce-y. Get it with a spring roll instead of egg roll! The food is good! Didn't feel too heavy or greasy as some Chinese food can. Fast service and large portions. The ambience leaves something to be desired, but overall good experience. read more

I drive past multiple Chinese restaurants to come here. Traditional style and quality food. Great prices. Been going here for 20 years

So glad I found this little gem! Great food, friendly service, generous portions, fair pricing! I ate in - they also have takeout - and 2 customers nearby greeted me & predicted I'd be happy here...they knew because they have been coming for 30 years! And they were so right! I ordered the sesame chicken lunch special, with white rice, egg roll, and egg roll. Everything was so tasty! And for me, enough food for leftovers to enjoy later! Will definitely come back if in the area again! read more

Good for the price. I ordered the honey chicken with fried rice and broccoli. Overall it was good, just nothing special! It was a big enough portion for me to have leftovers for the next day. read more

Might look dicey but its definitely good. It's affordable and the food tastes real good even as leftovers. I had the general Tso' tofu dinner combo and I picked a spring roll over an egg roll (cause why not I guess). The sauce is good, there is more batter to tofu ratio but I like the crunch so don't care. The rice was cooked really well! Next time you want Chinese food or take out go for it. They use microwaveable containers so that's like even more awesome. read more
