50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Bonita

“Hello world, I want to shout Elizabeth a 5 star server. She greeted everyone at the door with a warm smile. Additionally she offered a sample of an item that I had asked about and explained the reward program. The food was above average B+ the orange chicken and shrimp. The store was clean and inviting.“

“So today my family wanted pick up stix and I didn't want to get pickup stix due to the odd interaction I had last time I went in. I have been going to this location for years and have never had any issue besides the last visit. There is a cashier that is an older gentleman who refuses to give extra sauce and will literally go back and forth over a couple sauce packets. I am buying for 3 people and the 2 siracha that he said is already in the bag is not enough. I decided oh well it probably will not be a thing today, but unfortunately the same guy today did it again. I asked him what the issue was and he stated that the sauce is in the bag already. I asked do I need to pay for extra sauce and if so I will, he stated no I don't need to then finally agreed to give me sauce. I have never ran into this situation ever at any restraunt where when I am paying for the meal I have to argue and ask several times for a couple extra packets of sauce. It's wild and unprofessional to think you need to argue with a customer over 4 siracha packets.“

“I would have loved to cogratulate the chef. Sweet and sour soup was perfect, ehe lettuce wraps were delicious, and the main dishes were tasty to perfection. I would recommend it and love to go back. Service was great too. We sat at the bar area.“

“The Chinese food was good!“

“On arrival there was no wait except the host had difficulty finding us a table, even though there were multiple empty tables. Food came out very quick, fresh, hot. Waitress was helpful - if you are a member online you get free refillable edamame. It was a little expensive but totally worth it!“

“Came on a whim with my wife and son for lunch. So glad we did! We got the soup dumplings, pork buns, fried dumplings, and scallion pancakes, all of which were excellent. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back!“

“My 2nd time dining in, (3rd if you count a delivery). Skewers are great not only in price but in quality and amount of meat. I didn't know they have a special on Saturday lamb skewer for $1.50 each! My friend her first time here she said 12/10 and she wants to come back. The scenery is beautiful and yes I said scenery, the vibes are great and staff is awesome!“

“So this is like a ghost kitchen. Sort of. It’s a place you can get food, and there’s people behind the scenes, but there’s no a person in sight. Everything is done on Grubhub/UberEats/Doordash.
First time in person is wild for me. Just show your details from your phone to a camera and the door opens with your food when the app says your food is ready.

But as far as a “classic cheeseburgers” go, it’s a smash burger. No edits allowed (as least from what I saw)
That is what I got. And I gotta be honest. It’s one of the best smashed burgers I’ve ever had. The burgers are THIN and have that crispy laced edges. The sauce is insane, and the bread is perfect. Onions and pickles as well. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. And it’s a local place too. Which I love. Since it’s not a giant chain.“

“Great service always! they are very attentive even when calling in an order, they answer all questions and take note to any special request. Nothing has changed her in all the years they have been in business. I will continue to come here for the best chicken in the city!! Highly recommend this location!“

“Great attention and service, they give us a refill every time our glasses barely reached half. We got the house special rice, gyosas and house special beef, it was fresh and well done food, very good and calm environment to go with your family and affordable prices.“

“Golden Mandarin in Chula Vista is open on the start of this ratings it says it's closed. But it's open i know cuz I'm here right now! Lol! Golden Mandarin is the BEST!! GREAT FOOD I LOVE THE HOUSE NOODLES AND THE LUMPIAS.“

“Bomb food 🥘 clean dining area good service“

“The salads are great, salmon is yummy❣🚀👍👍“

“Soooo good! I love that I can get either salt and pepper tofu or tofu in orange sauce here so I can eat along with my family. My family loves their salt and pepper wings (they were delicious when I had them years ago). Always friendly service. Have dined in and done take out as well, always very quick too. A gem in Eastlake!“

“I moved away from San Diego in 2017 and their salt and pepper tofu is the one meal I miss the most 😂 Sooo good“

“The food is really good and its cooked to perfection in my opinion. Its not super greasy and everything is made fresh nothing sitting under a light or on a warmer. Its a little pricey but its all worth it for really good well-seasoned food.“

“Hole in the wall Chinese food. Nuff said.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and it still feels the same today as it did back then. It's a small, cramped Chinese/ Vietnamese restaurant with a lousy parking lot. Service is minimal but the new staff friendly enough. There was auntie in the corner speaking loudly on her FaceTime call while making dumplings. Felt just like home.

There are about 10 tables inside and the menu has a variety of Chinese inspired dishes.

The must get here is definitely the egg noodles with wonton and char sui.

We tried the specialty honey walnut shrimp and it was a let down. Soggy shrimp with very little sauce.

The fried chicken leg was crispy and savory and the fried rice was very yummy. Definitely recommend these 2 dishes and the egg noodles!

Overall this place offers a lot of value, but I would stick with the fried rice or noodles dishes. Good lucking finding parking!“

“Believe it or not a restaurant with three different cuisines that works. Felt like. A good old country breakfast and found this nearby. When I got there I changed my mind and ordered machaca and eggs with flour tortillas.Saw some delicious looking sausage and eggs go by. I am excited to try this place for lunch or dinner.“

“I’ve had the pork fried rice, the sweet & sour chicken and the salt and pepper wings and they were all fantastic! The food is well cooked. It’s well seasoned and they give you large portions for a reasonable price. Definitely my new favorite place for Chinese food.“

“The food was amazing! Its like another world experience being there. The service is super attentive and the portions are huge! We got vegetable fried rice and chow mean plus the orange chicken AND egg flower soup. EVERYTHING was delicious 😋“

“Best sushi in San Diego at reasonable prices! Delicioso!!!“

“Been good things about this place so decided to give it a shot. Interior was very nice and clean. My wife mentioned it was great for a date place. Food was fresh and reasonable prices. We had dinner ala cart. There is an option for lunch menu for dinner for 2 dollars more which is a good deal or5 dollars more you can get soup egg roll and shrimp appetizers with al cart. Service was fast and pleasant. I would recommend giving it a try if like Chinese food.“

“' ' ' ' We Love The House Special Fried Rice. Yum Yum Yum 😋🤤🤤🤤. Great Staff Very Great Nice People. ' ' ' '“

“The moo shu wraps were already filled when the food was served. They were torn, soggy, and messy. I have never been served pre-filled moo shu wraps.

I could not put the plum sauce into the wrap as I have always done. I had to smear it on top, making the dish even messier.

When I fill my wraps, I put a lot of vegetables into them, including filling them end to end. Instead, my wraps were not full and had empty wrap at the ends, so my first and last bites were just flour wrap.

Receiving the vegetables inside the wraps also meant that there was less to the entree. I normally have a pile of vegetables to take home, but not in this case. My photo shows four wraps, but there were five.

The quality of the vegetables was very good, but I was not happy with the dish because of the aforementioned.

All of the other food that my guests and I had was otherwise good. Service was good if slightly inattentive, but staff was easily found when needed.

The complimentary crispy noodles and dipping sauce before the meal and the fortune cookies and almond cookies after the meal added positively to the experience.“

“My parents, little brother and I were originally going to go to the pho next door, but we waited almost 10 min and no menu or drink offers, so we got up and went here, and WOW what a difference! They greeted us right away with menus and drinks, customer service was great and the food was even better. 10/10“

“love it, place and food are good.. servers sre friendly.“

“Chinese food TO-DIE-FOR! fresh, flavorful, cooked to perfection crunchy vegetables, tender juicy cuts of meat, fresh tasting sea food, courteous service, reasonably priced. Lunch, dinner & to-go, they can deliver reasonable distances. You must discover this deliciousness if you have discriminate Chinese food taste. I absolutely love them, and they're in Lemon Grove... WooHoo!“

“Nostalgia, hits in the childhood
The food, ambience and price is perfect. This place actually cares about taste, texture and heigeine.the food sits right with me and doesnt hurt my stomach like other small chinese food places. As long as they continue to operate the way they do I WILL NEVER stop giving them my business. 10/10 the independently owned corner chinese food place ive been looking for.“

“The Best Ever Chinese Restaurant I Have Ever Been To. My Tita's Loved It So Mucho!!!! 5 star Rating“

“Been coming here since I was a little kid and will forever go“

“CASH ONLY. The link to the online menu is compromised, it will give your device malware if you aren’t careful.

Great food, great people. The comments suggested the salt n pepa wings and Singapore noodles are good so I tried thems, both are great.

The dine in experience is admittedly mid, BUT they do have a small shrine in a corner to San Shin, the mountain god deity worshipped in the times since before Mahayana Buddhism spread throughout China and Korea. San Shin has its roots in ancient shamanism. If you want some extra luck, bow to it and say “San Wang Dae San Shin” 9 times. You may even need to prostrate yourself, based on your Luck stat.“

“This place has been open for decades & is one of the best! Great lunch specials & always fresh food. Their wonton soup is a hit or miss, sometimes there’s not that many wontons, more broth than anything but it’s so delicious! Definitely recommend it!“

“Fried chicken was delicious and fried noodles.“

“Went to Bistro City to try their Salt-n-Pepper Wings. Unlike most places, they heavily spice the batter the wings are fried in. It was too spicy for my liking. I left the wings for my co-workers and they said the wings were really good. So if you like spicy, you will love the wings.
I also got some orange chicken. It was good, but nothing I would make a special trip to get.“

“Food is so good and fresh . Pricey but all Chinese food in San Diego is around the same price .

They make everything fresh . The orange chicken beats out the surrounding Chinese food orange chicken around the area . Been looking for a good Chinese spot and so glad I found them .“

“Ying Li is an absolute gem! I can't get enough of their incredible Chinese food—it's simply delightful! The gizzard soup is a must-try, and the pineapple chicken in sweet-and-sour sauce is a flavor explosion. My partner is obsessed with the salt and pepper spicy shrimp—so good! The service is fantastic too; the friendly Chinese staff speaks fluent Spanish, which adds a unique touch. Plus, the restaurant is conveniently located by the border with plenty of parking. With such amazing food and prices that make you smile, I can’t wait to come back for more!“

“After eating here I can't help but ask, " where have you been all my life?"
The Oriental Cafe offers generous portions for generous prices and unless you've fasted the whole day you will be bringing home Leftovers.
The staff is friendly and efficient as they tend to the constant flow of customers that filled the humble establishment.
Some may take mark down this Cafe for its simplistic decor; but others, like myself, find it charming. And after trying their dishes, it only adds delight to find a nice whole in the wall that let's their dishes speak for themselves.
I recommend dining in because you will get a serving of their egg drop soup and it is absolutely worth trying. It's hearty flavor reminds you of the soup you wish you had on a cold day or when you're feeling under the weather.
This is an establishment that deserves its business and I am already planning on coming back and bringing more family to experience it themselves.“

“Lunchtime specials are where it’s at! There is no place in Hillcrest with this portion, quality, and variety for under $10. You’ve gotta try the chicken teriyaki!“

“Great food and cooked at the moment!! I came here to SD for short vacations with my family, and we wanted something for dinner at the hotel, so drove here and great service and surprised that when I ordered food was cooked in that moment, great taste and portions for a very good price! Highly recommended!“

“Says Chinese food but also has Thai food but a bunch of Vietnamese writing. Red curry is spicy. They included tail on for shrimp in the curry. Kung pao chicken was crispy and had a nice amount of heat. Pork and Chinese broccoli was good. Thai noodles with beef needs improvement and more beef. They didn’t include rice with my curry and wanted to charge $2.75 for some which is absurd. Parking lot in back“

“5 stars
I used to come to Imperial Express all the time after college, and after all these years, it’s still just as amazing—if not even better. The orange chicken is next level—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The service is always friendly and fast, just like I remembered. It’s a true hidden gem that stands the test of time. Bring cash, eat well, and leave happy. Highly recommend! Muy rico 🤘🏻🙏🏻gracias!“

“I love this place! I was having a real hard time finding decent Chinese food here in SD until I discovered City Dragon. OMG! So good! And they are so nice every time I call for delivery which is free! The food is so delicious and so fresh tasting!“

“Good "Chinese" food here. I had the BBQ pork but I think I was expecting a different type of bbq flavor. The rice was good but somehow reminded me of stove-top- stuffing. The service was very friendly. If you're nearby, Great Happiness, is definitely worth the stop.P.S. Great Happiness only accepts cash.“

“Needed a hole in the wall Chinese spot and I found it. Tracked them down from their second location in Grossmont Mall. Food is actually good. For San Diego, this is as good as you can get off Convoy. Classic family owned restaurant, looks like it’s been in business a while. Very kind and attentive with awesome food.“

“The food was delicious. The music and the vibe of the place was amazing. The staff was attentive and on point!“

“This restaurant used to be Zen Asian Bistro. Some of the items, such as the Taiwanese Beef noodle soup, is still on the new menu. We don't know if it's the same cooks.
The portions are on the small side. They were a little bland but that might be because we ordered unbreaded chicken and vegetables as our proteins. Seems like quality and fresh ingredients were used.

Service from the older gentleman was good. He was very nice and attentive to our group.“

“The Sesamed honey chicken is delicious I even started eating before taking the photo. The staff was super nice and the service was quick. This is going to be my new spot. If you’re in the area I really recommend coming out and giving it a look. Thank you guys and I will be back.“

“Love this place for a quick bite. Chow mein is tasty, lots of veggies and the noodles have a nice chew to them. Love the veggie egg rolls. They have curry flavor to them. I've tried orange chicken, mushroom chicken, chicken curry, BBQ pork, and sweet and sour chicken. All were pretty good. I like that they don't overcook the chicken. It's always nice and moist and tender. The boba drinks are on my "to try" list.“

“What a true hidden gem in the heart of San Ysidro near the border. Hands down one of the best Chinese food restaurants I ever had in the area and in town.YuJing Chinese Restaurant is the real deal when it comes to authentic Chinese food.

I have been here several times now and I never had one bad meal. The staff is very caring and polite to help you with any questions on the menu.

I highly recommend the salt and pepper chicken wings that also comes with fried rice. Also the Mongolian beef and fried rice lunch combo is a must to try.

If you are a vegetarian, meat lover or seafood lover you are in for a real treat. The food portions are very generous. No matter what you are craving you can't go wrong with your food selections.

You have a large private parking lot for easy access for parking. I look forward to coming back again soon.“

“Christmas Eve just called to see a time they closed and they were closing but still offered to make me a dinner. I really appreciated her kindness but I insisted they enjoy the holiday and didn’t have to stay longer just for me. I will call again to try there food when opened. Kindness matters“
