“I have been going here every other Saturday for about 3 years. Love their food. It never disappoints. Everyone we take there loves it. We are treated very well. Love the staff. Love the food!

Vegetarian options: They will customize to meet your needs“

“Best Chinese food in Contra Costa County. Totally Authentic Sezchuan style. A must try for anyone who loves great flavors.“

“Lanzhou is an ancient, desert city on the old Silk Road so its culinary heritage is as wide as it is deep. While I’ve not been there I would like to think the food here is pretty authentic Gansu province cuisine. It’s always a good sign when a restaurant is popular, but it’s a better sign when an Asian restaurant is full of Asian patrons. Everything we had here was good. The chili crunch oil condiment (which is mild and has smoky, earthy flavor) made everything even better. Guaranteed I’m going back.“

“NO LONGER A MALATANG SPOT

food was good, ordered the mapo tofu(it was spicy but not numbing spicy), beef and broccoli, and pork and seaweed soup. we enjoyed the soup the most.

overall had a good experience.“

“Tried their spicy hot pot (Mao Cai) today and it was amazing! Generous portions, super fresh ingredients, and the broth was flavorful without being too greasy. You can adjust the spice level to your taste, which I really liked. The staff were friendly and even offered me a free drink — nice touch! Definitely a go-to spot if you’re craving something authentic and satisfying.“

“Excellent! Tonight was one of the best meals we’ve had here and are so happy to be able to continue to support the restaurant. So thank you for some of the most fresh best tasting Chinese food in Walnut Creek!“

“Very tasty food, and super friendly stuff!!“

“I love Chowking! The meaty Beef Wonton Soup and their Chinese Style Fried Chicken are one of my favorites. The atmosphere at Chowking is always so great as well. The staff are kind and helpful. I would love to have a closer location near my home, though! I live in Lathrop, California, and with our large Filipino community, a Chowking would serve so many people here! Thank you Chowking for your delicious food, great service and kind hospitality!“

“Great Asian delicacies in warm hospitable atmosphere.

Foods are homy and they have variety of choices such as different meat, vegetarian and seafoods.

The meals are priced reasonably low and their tea pots are yummy.“

“Their food is so good. They are quick, efficient and extremely nice. I get lunch there at least once a week. Their specials are great and affordable. The egg rolls I got today were the best I’ve ever tasted and their chow mein was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“Very homie type of comfort food. Food always tastes great have been going here for years ! Salt and pepper chicken is my go to favorite. Small interior so best for takeout. The cooks are great, host is always nice. Be warned it can get crazy busy on weekends especially evenings, its better to order in person and just grocery shop nearby while you wait.“

“Been going here for 20 years. Never a bad meal!“

“My wife and I went here with a couple who live in Pleasant Hills. Can’t remember what everyone had but I had sesame chicken, fried rice and an egg roll. We all had hot tea. I often order sesame chicken when trying a new (to me) Chinese restaurant as I have this often (or Hunan beef, Kung Pao beef/shrimp) and this gives me a basis for comparison. The sesame chicken was good. Service was good. I will probably go back when I am in the area.“

“My wife was raving about the place so we tried it out. The food came out super fast. The service was prompt and responsive. Ambience was a little loud for me as we had to almost yell in order to hear each other. Food tasted fresh and tasty. My fav was the New Zealand Lamb.“

“Great Wall Restaurant serves fresh, flavorful Chinese food with generous portions. The sweet and sour chicken was crispy and tangy, while the broccoli beef was tender and savory. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made for a great dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“Free parking, clean place, safe neighborhood. The food was ok. Portions were not really big, but adequate. My issue was with the chili peppers in the kung Pao chicken. As the picture shows, there was way too many - and this is not chewable, you need to set them aside. There were so many chili peppers , it occupied 1/3 of the tiny individual serving plate.“

“Wonderful restaurant. Tried the lunch special on our way to Santa Cruz.

As soon as they served the soup I could tell this place was a cut above. I'm not a fan of hot and sour soup, but this was the best I've ever had. The chicken with broccoli and cashews should be considered a must order. The egg roll was perfect.
Lovely tranquil ambience on the outdoor patio with the giant trees lining the back.“

“Nice atmosphere but the best part is the food. Great selection with some hard to find items. They definitely know how to spice the food - can’t be beat“

“The best service ever. Delicious food. 💯 recommend“

“My daughter and I found this little gem while staying in Concord. We now try to get to Concord early every time we come so we can stop here. The food is amazing. The staff is friendly enough, but they have things to do so they wont be hovering. But, if you need something, its easy to get someone's attention. Each seat has a little wooden decoration with a QR code on it. You scan it and order from your phone. The food arrives quickly. Its hot and delicious! I highly recommend this place.“

“The food and experience where fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. The food came out fast and tasty enough. There are better places to eat Chinese food at, but the food here is typically of an average Chinese restaurant. The restaurant could do with an interior upgrade. The interior is out dated. The staff is friendly and helpful. I have do not have problems with returning to the restaurant in the future.“

“Excellent service and the food was delicious.“

“Excellent house-made noodles!“

“Had occasion to have lunch here recently. Good news, they offer luncheon-specials even on weekends. Food itself is good. I had the mongolian chicken luncheon/$l3.00. The pork fried rice had very few pieces of pork in it but it was tasty. The chicken was hot/taste but the sauce was a bit sweet [a little different than I'm used to for any mongolian creation]. Portions were large, I didn't finish. My only real negative was, the whole dish was luke warm, not hot/temperature. As I was the only [early] diner in the place, I suspect the food was pre-cooked/made and just warmed to serve or wasn't wok'd long enough. The appetizer/fried wonton/2 pcs, was also warm, as was the sweet sauce over it. The food would have tasted SO much 'better' if it was cooked just a bit more [I even some raw onions in the chicken]. I'll return, just to see if the food is normally served hot.......“

“Spectacular food. I mean Spectacular. And I love the small restaurant ambiance of simplicity on Clayton Rd. Authentic and creative food, with modern American style too. If you're looking for great Chinese food and a great menu too choose from this is the place!!“

“I LOVE this restaurant. The food just gets better and better. Every time we add something new to our order, we fall in love with more dishes. I love Chinese food and am super picky. So to have been able to find this gem has made me and myFamily super happy! Sunday movie nights are filled with yummyChinese food and a good show/movie!“

“Always such good food with so many choices. Always very friendly staff as well. Love eating here“

“They have good food here and they still open“

“We Dine In and order Take Out from this restaurant and have for many years. Our favorites are Egg Rolls, Won Ton Soup, Sweet and Sour Pork, Broccoli Beef, Cashew Nut Chicken, Mu Shu Chicken, And Combination Chow Mein. The portions are large; we usually take some food home. Service is excellent. The restaurant is very clean and bright.

Parking: Park in front of restaurant and in free parking lot.“

“Solid dim sum up in walnut creek area

Lots of asians here so must be a good sign haha

It has solid cheung fun and har gao which are the staples

Service was not bad for dim sum

Parking may be hard but down the lot frees up a bit“

“The chow mein and fried rice is good, i really liked the fried rice but it also might be because im pregnant lol we also ordered the sweet and sour chicken, i honestly dont recommend. The chicken was mushy and the sauce was to sweet. Couldnt finish that dish.

Other then that, they are pretty good. As most restaurants, obviously youll get the pos and the neg but i also think it depends on the day and time you go . Would i order from here again? Yes“

“As a family we’ve ordered superior Chinese food from Nanking even before it was NanKing when it was Uncle Wu’s. Never disappointed until tonight. All food we received was cold even the rice. Little flavor as well. Very cold making the special evening not enjoyable and we live one mile from them.“

“My personal favorite dish is their House special pan fried noodles. The portion of this was insane, this itself can feed 4 people. Love the vegetables, squid, shrimp,…. on top of the noodles. The toppings are cooked with this slightly thick sauce which drenches the fried noodle making it some parts of it crunchy and some of it soft/soggy. I grew up eating this dish and so I’m almost always ordering this dish.

My second favorite dish is their honey walnut shrimp. This is always a hit at every family dinner I have and so I just had to order it. Their shrimp had a bite to it and a bouncy texture. It was cooked perfectly.

Everything we ordered:
- $20.95 Honey Walnut Shrimps
- $25.95 Beef cubes and scallop with teriyaki sauce
- $24.95 Pickled dried vegetables/Braised pork belly with sweet potato leaves
- $20.95 House special pan fried noodles
- $19.95 Salt and pepper pork chops
- $9.95 Marinated tofu“

“I had their General Tso's chicken with a side of steamed rice, and it was super good! The amount was enough to fill up up and I still have about a lunch portion left.

Definitely plan on coming back. You know a place is good when you're willing to drive 30 minutes to eat there.“

“My new favorite spot! Everything we ordered was excellent and super fresh, fast and friendly service too!“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Pho or Yunnan? Yunnan for me. I think it’s healthier. Nothing like a bowl of numbing soup in the winter. The rice noodles go down so nice and the toppings are more elegant in taste and texture. The soup base really takes it. Can’t go wrong with the fish fillets.“

“Don't be fool by it's appearance. It used to be you can dine in before pandemic. However,they offer to go only. Food is very tasty ,and you get a good portion for a decent price. Lunch rice plate is around $9:00,is served until 3:00pm. Credit card accepted. Let's support this tiny place with good food ,good price by a good family always with a smile.??❤️

Parking: Parking ar rear with limited space,but you always can find street parking.“

“Excellent place to meet up with friends and family to have a great time with yummy food“

“I absolutely love this place! The food is authentic and flavor is on point! The workers are friendly. I highly recommend this Chinese Restaurant!“

“Been going to this restaurant for years! Our favorite by the way. Friendly owners, service and home delivery.🥡🥢“

“Ok, if you have never had amazing mapo tofu or laziji (fried chicken pieces in dried chilis), two of my favorite Sichuan cuisine dishes, you HAVE to order these two dishes from this place, plus a bowl of rice. Phenomenal flavor, they hit it spot on with the best that we have had in Beijing, the only other place that can compare is Tasty Szechuan in Hayward, so of course we are happy there is a closer place to us in Dublin. Need to have it made spicy, or the tofu lacks the right flavor. The pain is worth the flavor! Their green onion pancakes are not good, but their gan bian sijidou (stir fried green beans) are super good, as well as their eggplant dish (if you like a slightly sweet flavor). Just thinking about those 2 dishes gets me salivating! Oh and then if you want the best milk tea, get it from nearby Feng Cha - regular black tea mill tea, don’t add any toppings, no ice, 75% sweetness (or 50% if you like it with just a touch of sweetness), sooo good, better than most places we tried in Taiwan. For $6, so much more worth it than all the mediocre ice cream places I have tried around here (still have not found an amazing local creamery). Enjoy!“

“We drove up from Oakland and found this place on the way to WinCo. We will definitely be back if we can!

I disagree with Latoya Robbins' review, my husband and I thought the food was pretty tasty. It was a good selection of food. Loved the steamed fish, pork bao, fried prawns and egg drop soup. I was delighted they had some dimsum in steam baskets. Many Asian buffets kinda taste like this anyway. The only small compliant is that there was a tad overuse of oil in some of the dishes.

To be honest, we were kind of shocked at the price of $14.99 per person for lunch on a Saturday. That's the price of 1 burrito from a food truck 30 mins away in Oakland, much less a all-you-can-eat buffet.

The staff were nice and topped up waters fast. Golden Corral staff were never this attentive. The place was decently clean and neat, and of course, this isn't a 5 star buffet at the Wynn, and we've been to shadier and more crowded places with less choice + paid more, so we're happy with this find. 5 stars, great value for money.“

“Very authentic cantonese and other chinese food. There is only one woman working at the counter doing table service and making drinks, which was very impressive and she did excellent service. The yogurt drinks with purple rice were my favorite. We got the crispy noodle with chicken, which was great and not too oily. Everyone seemed to be getting the clay pot and the hand shredded chicken so we have to go back to try that. They also do a fun nine dessert sampler that let us try a lot of things. Great experience, will be back again!“

“Thank you Evie and all the staff for making our boys grad night dinner so special!! If you have not tried this place out you need too!! Amazing suchi and yummy Tao Tacos!!“

“This is my favorite restaurant of all time. The best service and best food of all time.

I had never come here until I met my wife who is Chinese and she took me here. The Li Wan Style congee is excellent and Hong Kong milk tea is sooooo good. Must also try the dough stick rice noodle roll!!!“

“The food is quite authentic. I've went there multiple times and the dishes are very consistent. Decent taste, not too much flavor. Just right. Price is relatively affordable too if you are eating with multiple people. I would recommend this place to others.“

“We really enjoyed the variety of the food on the menu! The ambiance was very nice and clean, not too noisy!
We had the Pork Xiao Long Bao (so good as everyone says) Sweet and Sour Cucumber, Pan Fried Chive Dumplings, Onion Pancake, Pan Fried Vegetable Pot Stickers and the Romaine Lettuce Salad with Sesame dressing.
All dishes were delicious and the prices were very reasonable!“

“Been going here for years. This is a staple in San Ramon and I have great memories of this friendly and delicious restaurant!“
