“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.“

“FYI: Not a Malatang spot anymore. Google gotta fix that.

Really really good food.

Orange chicken was nice and crispy, good cuts and well trimmed.

Cumin beef was tasty, well spiced, and had a good amount of fresh ingredients.

Chow Mein was really nice as well. I think it was chicken and minced pork belly. Pork belly was well spiced and the noodles werent too oily. Cabbage had some nice browning on it.

Steamed dumplings were good. I cant think of anything specific to say but definitely tasty and fresh.

Cute place. Definitely a family run place, nice and cozy. Will be my go to when I want Chinese. Highly recommend you give it a try.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Highly recommend their beef noodle. Freshly pulled noodle and consistent high quality with the broth and beef. Always have a better experience here than they sister shop in Fremont, and I'd prioritize a stop here every time I come to Concord. Other dishes are decent too. Can get crowdy especially during peak hours, so expect a queue!“

“I'm here on vacation every winter. Lulu's is one of our favorite stops and we patronize it on a consistent basis. Unfortunately (for me) last night I deviated from my norm and ordered the London broil. It was over cooked (I requested medium) and I struggled through it. My appetizer was fine and my friends were delighted with their selections. Sometimes things simply don't meet expectations- I'm good and will plan to continue patronizing Lulu's“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“This food spot is really good. Ordered on a whim while attending an event at Retro Junkie. We ordered it on DoorDash for a pickup. It was ready on time, very flavorful and so delicious. It was enough for two to share and for leftovers the next day.

We ordered the General Tso chicken and House special fried rice...I just wish they gave a bit more meat on the rice... it seemed like it was more rice than anything“

“Looking for Valentine's dinner with family and came here as the places we wanted to go were packed. But so glad we did as the food was beyond expectation. We started out with the corn chowder soup ..excellent and best we've had anywhere. Ordered Salt and Pepper Fish with slices of onions and peppers, Orange Chicken with a tangy sweet unique flavor, honey walnut prawns, and shrimp fried rice. All were excellent and we'll definitely be back. I'd drive across town just for the corn chowder.“

“Peony Garden is one of the best spots for delicious Chinese food, especially if you love dim sum and seafood dishes. The service is friendly, fast, and attentive, making the dining experience even better.

Their dim sum is fresh, flavorful, and served hot—perfect for sharing with family and friends. The claypot seafood dishes are a must-try, packed with rich flavors and quality ingredients. You can really taste the freshness in every bite.

Whether you’re stopping in for weekend dim sum or a relaxing dinner, Peony Garden offers great food, warm hospitality, and an authentic taste of Chinese cuisine. Highly recommended—support this wonderful local restaurant!“

“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.“

“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 food was good as usual. It was not very busy for a Sunday but the staff looked tired and not very enthusiastic. They should enforce dress codes for servers. The floors were sticky when you walk into the restaurant. The water glassed were plastic instead of glass. The restaurant needs deep cleaning and freshen up the atmospher. You can see all the storage freezers when sitting in the dining room when they can be hidden with a decor curtain or a trifold divider. They don't bring the bill to the table or accept payment at the table only at the cashier which is weird for a sit down facility“

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

“Highlights of the experience:
- Servers very courteous and responsive
- Poured our egg flower soup with a smile
- Refilled our yes and water many times despite a busy-ish body count

Memorable food:
- Green beans (10/10) - Probably best stir fried green beans I've had
- Egg flower soup - Nostalgic flavors & warmed my soul“

“You can never go wrong with Ming's!

I've been here for their lunch special a half-dozen times over the past year, and it's been consistently excellent. Great price for the amount of food, and every entree I have ordered has been great, especially the spicy eggplant with tofu. The portions are very generous too - my wife and I always end up bringing home leftovers.

My family and I often order takeout for dinner here as well, and again, have never been disappointed. Everything is exceptionally fresh - the veggie and seafood options are my favorites.“

“Excellent house-made noodles!“

“Excellent service and the food was delicious.“

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

“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!!“

“This place is hands down one of the best Chinese food I’ve had in CA. Taste and flavor is there and food is very fresh. I don’t understand why there’s bad reviews because it doesn’t reflect what I’ve had here. There’s just one guy serving tables here, so service can take a bit when they’re busy. But it’s worth it. Don’t miss out because you see a few bad reviews. In the Bay Area over all, most Chinese food tastes so watered down and lacks flavor. This place is great.“

“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.“

“They have good food here and they still open“

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

“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!“

“We went for lunch after hearing they were closing in June because their lease is not being renewed. The lunch menu was extensive compared to other Chinese lunch menus I've seen. All three of us ordered different things. 2 were pork and one was beef. All were nicely prepared. Lunch included fried or steamed rice, wonton, egg roll, hot and sour soup and one entree. We asked for tea and one person got apple juice.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you are ever feeling under the weather and want to get something soupy/noodly- this is the spot to be. Ten Seconds will satisfy your soupy/noodly cravings. I love how their signature and simple R1: The Original Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles come in such a cute hot little pot along with little plates of side dishes that you can either opt in or out (also they have corn which is amazing). The pot is very hot so please proceed with caution* The pricing here is very affordable to their portion size and they have variety of choices for you to choose from. I have always enjoy the authentic chicken broth soup because it is very comforting and makes me feel like home. I recommend coming here if you are tired of eating pho because this place have good hot noods“

“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.“

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

“Treat yourself to a fantastic Chinese meal. The food is top-notch, with delicious handmade dim sum and excellent entrées. The owners are meticulous about quality, and I feel fortunate to have this restaurant nearby. As someone who considers herself a good judge of Asian food, this is truly my favorite.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Came for lunch. The congee and rice noodles were very good. The chow fun was just meh. The service was good but the plastic dishes and bowls and paper cups for tea really cheapen the experience. I’ll come back to try the dim sum next time. We come to the shopping center a lot to eat at the other places and was surprised to have just noticed this place. It’s on the backside of the mall. They have been open for 2 years but their sign is now up and more visible.“

“I ordered the Mu Shu Pork on Christmas. It was the, dare I say, the best Mu Shu Pork I’ve had in several years. It was fresh, tasty and fulfilling. It was take out where the food sometimes loses its taste and freshness. This was not the case.
I gave 5 stars on atmosphere even though I realize it does not apply in this instance, but, when I’ve been in there, the atmosphere was good.
I’ve yet to have a bad meal here.“

“Went her last night with my family. Second time I had it. First time I had it delivered to my house this time we ate there. It was DELICIOUS 🤤 both times. So happy I live walking distance to my new favorite Chinese restaurant ❗️“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Delicious food! We had the soup dumplings, fried potstickers, cucumber salad and Dan Dan noodles. Everything was wonderfully flavored and a joy to eat! Great service, a cozy laid back ambiance - I look forward to coming back and trying more dishes!“

“I love the food here. The chowmein isn't as saucy as others I've had, but everything else is great. I still get chowmein, lol. The spicy orange chicken is so good!!!! And after 7pm, you buy 2 plates and get 1 free. Best deal out. The whole family eats with $24 and still have leftovers“
