50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Colma

“Though I don't gamble and live like 40-45mins away from this place, we tend to drive up to lucky chances from time to time to get tapsilog, they do have a variety of tapsilog combinations and not to mention large portions too. I love how they serve you the whole fried bangus with the head and tail still attached ??, The bangus sisig is also good. We usually try and take it to go since this place gets packed at times, but end up eating it there and somehow finding a table for our group. The servers are not the best at times. They could come out rude at times when it's busy and tend to forget about your table after the food is served you often have to flag them for water refills or for napkins and when one or two of your orders are still missing. Other than that, it's always good food and a decent spot to get some good Filipino eats.“

“I first started coming to suily’s in the 8th grade. My friends and I would walk there to get food after bowling league at the old Serra bowl.
I don’t think it’s changed a bit and yet to have a bad experience.
Go to orders for myself are:
-scrambled eggs with beef over rice(a little extra sauce on the side)
-salt & pepper pork chop
-shrimp fried rice
A place like suilys has survived at all and they wouldn’t be open this long if the food didn’t pretty much speak for itself. If you in Daly City lookin for great food with even greater prices pull up! Pure awesomeness!

Parking: Parking can be a challenge all depending on what time you visit. Around lunch found plenty spaces.

Kid-friendliness: There are some options here for the kids, appetizers as well as basic meal choices

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible and welcomed“

“🐼✨ I have been to a lot of Pandas in the entire Bay Area down to south San Jose and this one has the most flavorful authentic and eclectic flavor. I am so glad I came here!! 🥰😇🥰😇🥰😇🥰 The orange chicken is FAR better than McDonald’s. 🍗“

“Wow. This place is delicious. The food was incredible and the service was amazing. If you are in San Fran you must come here to eat. Green beans. Are the bomb. Pork buns. Fabulous. All the food was amazing.
This is just one of the best little spots. Everyone recommended and we are so glad we came here. We had a group of 8. Reservations recommended.“

“I'm not breaking new ground here—the Peking Duck is incredible. But what's even better is the duck carcass: deep-fried, then sautéed with spices and Sichuan peppercorns. Absolutely off-the-charts delicious. That said, charging $15 extra for it feels a bit much.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“This place is such a hidden gem. The food was amazing, comparable / better than other “dumpling X” restaurants in the city. Highly recommend!

We got:
- XLB: dough was really great and very soupy
- chili wontons: so good, loved the sauce
- steamed shrimp / chive / pork dumplings: really good, very soupy
- green beans: a classic
- chocolate and banana XLB: loved this, imo on par with Ding Tai Fung
- big plate chicken: this was the weakest dish but this is a very difficult dish to make

Service was great also, and very affordable prices“

“This is a hole in the wall type restaurant with old school Chinese service and food. For those that don’t know what that means don’t expect five star service and atmosphere. You aren’t paying high prices here at all. You come here for the food if it’s to your taste which it is for me. Beef roll pancakes and green beans are my favorites. Cash only.“

“We were just walking around and looking for a good place to eat. Stumbled upon this spot. Don't be fooled by the handful of people eating during the mid afternoon time this place was fire! Their food was really good. Bit pricey compared to your regular Chinese food spot. But man it was worth it.

Kid-friendliness: Their staff was very patient with our toddler.“

“We stumbled upon this dumpling place and it exceeded our expectations. The menu is focused on small apps, lots of dumplings (boiled, pan fried, soup, XLB) options. We ordered cucumbers, crab puffs, boiled dumplings, XLB, pot stickers, beef noodle soup. Everything was fresh, well seasoned…it reminded us of my mom’s cooking. We didn’t finish some of our dumplings, brought them home and they tasted great even heated with a microwave.

The atmosphere was easy, unpretentious, family friendly, clean. Service was courteous and prompt. We loved our first visit and will definitely be back to try many more dishes.

They also sell frozen dumplings to cook at home!

Kid-friendliness: Casual environment, clean restaurant, clean restrooms. Kids can watch chefs make dumplings.“

“Delicious dim sum combo platter and house special fried noodles!! Chino was so lovely to talk to and made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend if you're looking for a small business/family run restaurant. He also has a musical career and recommend looking into his work too. Chino Yang on YouTube or Spotify.“

“great dishes. They tasted authentic Shanghai cuisines to me. The only issue was that the restaurant was highly understaffed for some reason. I could see the lady just rushing all through to get bills, place orders, and even get take-out boxes for us. Watching her at work was like watching a highly skilled “overcook” gameplay.“

“Everything is just great!!! From your time waiting till you’re served, is wonderful.“

“This place is a gem. The owners are sweet, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is unique and cozy.

The rice is also yummy here. Big portions, fair price.

10/10 recommend the General Tso Tofu. It’s on the sweet side comparatively, but they can make it spicier on request.“

“WenChang is a winner. I was staying a couple blocks away and stumbled upon this nondescript neighborhood eatery, and I’m so glad I did. The food and prices were great. The crispy honey sesame chicken was a treat. I’m not a big fan of sweet dishes, but this plate was loaded with nice pieces of chicken, fried to perfection with the perfect mixture of sweetness and sesame. The soup dumplings are another must-try dish—savory and juicy. The vegetable chow mein was
fresh and not overly cooked. They have two prices for many entrees: cash and credit card. So make sure to bring cash for the best prices.“

“Love this place the wait and drive is worth it“

“California-style Cantonese cuisine! I really like the decoration style here, which always makes me feel better when dining here. The golden lotus chandelier and the gold and silver wire lamp are definitely the best decoration! 👍The pastries here are also worth mentioning! Pineapple buns, wife cakes, black sesame banana cakes with miso sugar!“

“Street parking or residential parking.
Cleanness is not bad. Seats are limited.
The price is average.
Ordered beef noodles, both have good flavor soup base. Noodles are not thin or thick, and I like the texture. The beef is flavorful with garlic dipping sauce.“

“Great place with a lovely patio, it's expensive of course but they give you value for the money too in the form of delicious dumplings and related delicious food. They are okay for vegetarian options. I ate at this place a lot when it was Savour and never ate outside once. The Patio is much better integrated, covered and fun with the current restaurant.“

“Great dim sum. Friendly service. Great location in the fisherman’s wharf area where locals and tourists can enjoy the food and the scenary“

“Called this location because the Mill Valley location’s phone was jot working. The worker was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with helping us ensure that we wouldn’t run into any celiac- related food issues. Have not gotten food from this location but the MV location is good. Blown away by the service - wish I had gotten the workers name.“

“Very good truffle beef fried rice. That was a long time. This time I received an ad on my mail and decided to try the honey prawns and beef fried rice and apparently they have changed the menu and it is much better than before. Also they gave us free egg rolls.

Parking: Few parking spaces only“

“食物美味，环境优美，服务很棒，下次再来“

“Lovely place to celebrate the Chinese New Year!“

“Crowded for a reason ! Take an Uber to this place as the parking and human habitat is troublesome. Food is delicious choice of wet or dry noodles.

Parking: Near by Side walks and street cleaning are needed if you know what I mean.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access available“

“Very good vegetarian options and reasonable prices as well. I got the veg bao buns and the fried rice. The fried rice is really good and the bao buns are good with sauce.

Vegetarian options: There are a couple of vegetarian options on the menu.“

“Best Xiao Long Bao i’ve ever had in my life. The soup is flavourful without being heavy, or oily. The pork inside is generous and tender. The wrapper is clearly fresh and handmade with care. I got delivery so my expectations were low, i’ll be honest but holy… these were spectacular. 5/5. I’ve had all sorts of XLB through the city of SF all the way back to the east coast, i’ve had Din Tai Fung… and this place beats them all. I’ll be ordering again this weekend for sure.“

“Vegetable fried dumplings, soy sauce noodles, and green onion pancakes were all incredibly good. Staff was supremely helpful, kind, and personable. Highly recommend!“

“This restaurant deserves 10 stars! It is the best Chinese restaurant in the Bay area.“

“Rice cakes were our favorite and I’d come back for that. It’s served with a smoky thinly sliced chinese bacon, bitter melon which was a great touch, inari tofu skin and peppers, and was spicy ??

We didn’t really like the cumin lamb ribs, it was fatty and had a lot of powder cumin piled on top ?

Chongqing chicken wings were ok nothing too special. Wasn’t that spicy but was a bit numbing.

The Singaporean Mule cocktail was really bad and green ? don’t get it

Cod fried rice - I didn’t really taste the cod.

The taiwanese eggplant wasn’t there for me, I love the ones they make at Taiwan porridge and these weren’t like that. I think it needed some more garlic and flavor, and crispiness from a hotter wok.

We also got the peanuts which were a good opening snack. It was interesting as it’s like the traditional crunchy peanuts but also sits in a bunch of the Gold Plum dumpling vinegar. It was confusing to me ?

I’d still try other things next time as I have good memories here.“

“This is a nice addition to Clemente Street for spicy hot pot of various varieties. Malatang the numbing Chinese flavor was our draw in to the store, but they have many other versions of soups such as laksa and tom yum. The beef broth was a little weak, but the numbing flavor was quite strong. You pick all of your ingredients and we enjoyed all except we found we didn't like the yam noodles. The staff was really nice and helpful and the interior was modern yet with a little bit of classic Chinese art. Really looking forward to trying this place again and trying the other flavors and ingredients. We are omnivores but we would like to come back and try it with totally vegan soup and ingredients option.“

“Dined here on 1-22-25! Recommend by my wife who ate here with a Postal Staff party. Food portions were outstanding and very tasty! All the staff were friendly and very accommodating. Will definitely come back, as it's hard to find good Chinese food with such generous portions!! Looking at the customers , they seemed to be all regulars returning to such a good place to eat! I definitely found a little gold mine, and almost want to be secretive about this place!!
Thanks,
Paul C“

“My husband and I came across your Chestnut location this past weekend! What a wonderful find. The VERY nice gentleman that served us, the best dumplings - I highly recommend the Spicy Sichuan Wontons in Red Oil. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Great Food and Service will always come back when visiting San Francisco“

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

“We passed through on our way back to the airport for a quick dinner. Lily is the nicest person and she gave us plates and chopsticks and silverware. I wish we could move back but I’m glad I could grab some food from her. I can’t wait for our next visit.“

“Usually these kind of shops are usually very not organized and not sanitized well. When checked the place the food stalls were nice and clean and there were no cross contamination.
Can be bit pricey than you expect because the food is weighed but other than that I am very pleased with the organization and sanitization. The taste of the food is good and very filling, if you want to a hot meal I totally recommend this place.“

“First time here, Christmas Eve lunch. We were there 1st customers @ 12:30 for lunch. The place is pretty austere and cold in appearance and in temperature. We asked the server if they could turn on the heat and it was met with a silly little grin. Maybe he didn't understand. Needless to say we all ate w/our jackets on. He brought out the plates for our meal and they too were ice cold. So we all sat on our plates to warm them up, not kidding. They do have a very extensive menu of items to choose from. Overall the meal was really good, food HOT and plentiful. I wouldn't bother with the friend shrimp, only 8 on a plate and they looked like they came out of a package. All items pretty reasonably priced. However, I won't return until summer when the weather and the plates are warmer.“

“Have you ever had Fujian cuisine before? Now you can at Taste of Shaxian in San Mateo! All of the dishes were very simple, but surprised us with a lot of flavor! Whether you're a fan of dumplings or not, this place has good ones and a bunch of other must-try dishes all priced very reasonably. For 2 people, we ordered just enough to be comfortably full.

* Shaxian Wonton Soup
* Soup Dumplings Combo
* Spicy Cold Noodles (highly recommend!)
* Braised Chicken (bone in) Clay Pot w/ Rice (highly recommend!)“

“The food was great, I liked it very much, I will go again next time“

“Bowl of beef brisket and wonton noodles is delicious
Flat, beautiful, upright, recommended by Hong Kong people! ??

The bowl of beef brisket wonton noodles is so delicious! Cheap, tasty, and quality – highly recommended by Hongkongers! ??“

“One of my go-to delivery spots. My favorite dishes have to be the Broccoli Chicken and the Sesame Chicken, both of which have super crisp vegetables and a good portion of meat.

They also make a pretty good (and spicy) Kung Pao Chicken and General Tso’s Chicken, and a fairly soupy Kung Pao Three Combo.“

“The choices of vegan ingredients for the dish are great and you will definitely find something you like - veggies, mushrooms, tofu or dumplings! You pay for the weight and therefore are able to create your own dish as you wish, considering the ingredients as well as the volume. There are three vegan soups available and a great variety of toppings that can be refilled as wished. Really nice concept and definitely a recommendation!“

“We walked in and were warmly greeted by the staff. Our waitress was particularly friendly and chatty.

We ate the Fish Cakes, Pork Kidney w/ Ginger & Onion, and Shrimp w/ 3 Kinds of Mushroom. The pork kidney dish was unique and really good. We liked everything.“

“Metro Milk Tea is a must-visit for authentic Chinese cuisine and outstanding boba tea. The menu features delicious chicken noodles and flavorful orange chicken, alongside classic dishes like Kung Pao Chicken. Their boba tea selection, with perfectly brewed flavors and chewy tapioca pearls, is exceptional. The friendly staff and inviting ambiance make for a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Such a cozy atmosphere with a wide array of dishes. Our food came out hot and fresh. It was us 3 so we ordered pork and Nappa cabbage dumplings, broccoli beef w/rice and general tso’s. Plenty to eat to your hearts delight. We would definitely come back. I wish I ordered the noodles because apparently they’re really good too.
10/10 would recommend“

“Travelling from HK to san francisco for the first time, this place is near my hotel and i was missing home food. The milk tea is even better than a lot of char charn tengs in HK. 10/10 for the milk tea. The staff said they use three types of tea to make it, i am very impressed and would recommend to everyone who knows how HK real milk tea taste like. Also it has no sugar and you can add your own which i love, as i like to drink it sugarless to feel the real taste. It is suitable for people who dont like sweet at all and can taste the tea flavor. 100% authentic. Im so glad i found the lovely little place!“

“The restaurant is located inside a plaza and there are a lot of parking spaces. We arrived there right after 6:00pm, and there were a few people waiting inside. After I put my name on the waitlist, we were able to get our table very quickly. We ordered the Sliced Beef & Ox Tripe in Chili Oil, Cucumber Salad, Chicken & Corn Dumpling in Chili Oil, Napa Cabbage & Pork Potstickers, Pork Xiao Long Bao, and Iced Assam Milk Tea. They served the food pretty quickly and all the staff were friendly. Those dumplings were freshly made by the chef because you could see the back with an open kitchen and watch them making all the dumplings. Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao tasted pretty good except the sliced beef and ox tripe and the drink was just ok. Highly recommended for the dumplings and Xiao Long Bao :)“

“Decent Chinese skewer place with very reasonable price. I like that each skewer is smaller but there are 5 skewers in each order, so it’s easier to share and try many different things. We tried lamb, beef, chicken thigh, squid and tofu that are all good.

Chicken wing could use more seasoning inside to get rid of the meat flavor.

Highly recommend the bbq eggplant! Crispy and well seasoned with cumin, garlic and other spices. The noodle texture was really good too and felt very fresh.“
