50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Coronado

“Like most Panda Express restaurants. Food is good and fresh, However, depending on the hour you go, they maybe out of certain items and you may need to wait. Servers try hard but employees can be overwhelmed with rush hour traffic.

Vegetarian options: Many tasty choices

Kid-friendliness: My great grandaughter (4 yr old) loves Panda. She loves the noodles and vegetables.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty. Easy in and out“

“Our server Cam was awesome and food was great! Got to try it. Great dumplings!!!“

“Taiwanese hot pot, you choose the ingredients and the broth, they promptly cook it for you. If you appreciate deep soup flavors, and love meat, you can eat here for $15-20 per person. Simple atmosphere, basic service. 5 stars because it’s delicious.“

“Meet dumpling is the absolute best restaurant in all of Point Loma.

The food is delicious.

The family who owns & operates this restaurant are great people who deserve community support.

They offer great food and great service.“

“The food was amazing! Tons of options for the soup and honestly, amazing flavor.
A little pricey, granted I threw in a lot of stuff on my bowl. 100% worth it though!

Nice quiet environment, very nice atmosphere, great service with friendly staff. Definitely will go back !“

“Love your food but today Sunday April 14, 2024 I ordered by the online menu and my surprised was when I picked up my order the prices increased. UPDATE YOUR SITE PLEASE THAT IS CALLED FAKE ADVERTISEMENT. 😉“

“Came to try the viral salt and pepper chicken wings.

Came for lunch and got the egg drop soup and it was yummy.

Got the bbq pork and it came with rice and a spring roll and I chicken wing. The rice was okay. The bbq pork was so good. The chicken wing is a good wing but nothing really special. The orange chicken wasn’t good. Maybe it was over cooked.“

“The Chinese food was good!“

“The noodles for Beef brisket noodles soup and cold noodle soup were fabulous. Mild spicy for the noodle soup was enough spice for a kick without being overwhelming. Beef was very tender. The cold noodles was a favorite. The noodles were chewy and paired with a sesame sauce. The lamb stir fry (not pictured) was ok. Lamb meat was tender but did not expect the greens to be all cilantro.“

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

“I took my two boys and mom to eat here. My children and I don't get to go out to eat often because of celiac disease and my one son has severe allergy to wheat/gluten and has an epi-pen. I heard p.f changs is very careful with cross contamination so I decided we would give it a shot.
The manager Scott was wonderful! He personally came over to explain everything and was very attentive. I felt very comfortable. Then we met our waitress Kiara who was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond. Her energy and attention to detail was outstanding. She was personable and made sure we had fresh plates that she wiped down herself, she was professional, and made the experience so much better. Everything tasted great. We will definitely be returning!
Even the host came over and sat next to my boys and asked them what their favorite animal was and went to get them special stickers, which made them so excited.
But Scott and Kiara really made the whole experience great!!“

“My sister and I were shopping in the area and needed a quick spot to eat and we found this place on google. As soon as we walked in we could smell all kinds of delicious stuff going on. The food was great and the service was amazing and the prices were pretty decent. I would definitely come back!“

“This was one of the best meals I ever had. The cumin beef noodles were AMAZING and the cabbage and beef pancakes. The music was good, service was friendly and funny, and overall an amazing experience!! Would definitely come back if I didn’t live out of town“

“I loved 🥰 best place more more“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tried Aztec Smash Burger for the first time and was genuinely impressed.

The burgers were excellent~crispy smash patties, fresh buns, and great flavor. I added lettuce, tomato, and pickles to the Jalapeño Smash Burger and it was delicious. Burger was Slightly too salty, but still fantastic.

The coolest part was experiencing a ghost kitchen / virtual food hall for the first time. You order, get a text when your food is ready, enter your code at the lockers, and your food pops right out. Super easy & efficiency.

For the quality and amount of food we received, the value is great. In a world where burgers keep getting more expensive, this concept just makes sense: great food, lower overhead, and better prices for customers.“

“Ok, my daughter wanted Chinese and we stumbled across the Corner Cafe. What a happy surprise. Not fancy and they do a brisk take out business... But worth dining in. Portions were huge and delicious. Everything is home cooked and amazing. They do wings and were able to do mine gluten free. They were maybe some of the best wings I have ever eaten. Worth it just for that. The pork with Chinese broccoli was also a hig as well as the from scratch hot and sour soup. One of my favorites and out did Din Tai Fung HANDS DOWN. Highly recommend! The owners were awesome too and took the time to make sure our order was perfect“

“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“

“We don’t live locally, but we come to San Diego every once in a while. Because we really like the restaurant next door, Spicy City, so we usually head straight there. But one time, someone in our group said they wanted Cantonese food, so we decided to give Easter Dynasty a try. To our surprise, we completely fell in love with the flavors. The dishes are very distinctive, each one has its own character, and the prices are very reasonable. After that meal, we decided this would also become one of those places we come back to every once in a while.“

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

“Wah Shing Chinese Food offers delicious food, generous portions, and amazing service! Everything is made fresh to order, and they are impressively fast at getting your food ready. The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly committed to providing excellent customer service. It’s a great spot for a quick, delicious, and satisfying meal. Highly recommended!“

“The food was really good, and the bartender was super nice and welcoming. Unfortunately, it was really, really hot inside, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the food and the overall vibe. I think the experience would have been so much better if the temperature had been more comfortable. Other than that, I enjoyed the food and appreciated the great service.“

“This restaurant came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. I tried the Roast Duck Noodle Soup and Walnut Shrimp. The duck was really delicious with a very nice broth. Every bite was a delight. I enjoyed the shrimp - plump and juicy with a lightly citrus white sauce and roasted walnuts. I would order it again, but there are a lot of items on their extensive menu that I would also like to try. Very nice, low key service. Clean and pleasant dining room.“

“This place is one of those old time gems you want to find. Great people, good food, and just down to earth honest people. Owners are always present and always will to help. The staff is friendly. We enjoy eating here and the prices are reasonable.“

“I’ve been going to Ying Li Restaurant since 2020, and every visit has been a joy. The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions, and the staff treats you like family every time. The value is fantastic, and I really appreciate the warm, welcoming service. I can’t recommend them enough!“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Every dish exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly perfect meal. Will definitely return soon with friends and family. Five stars!“

“Fried chicken was delicious and fried noodles.“

“A San Diego Cantonese institution, here’s where you should go for traditional favorites. Steamed fish, lobster noodles (Yee mee), honey shrimp and Peking duck are just some of their best dishes. Generous portions and helpful staff make this a popular choice. It’s a great place for groups and they have several good value banquet menus (for 10 or more). Reservations are recommended for dinner as it gets busy.“

“EVERYTIME my family and I visit, the staff are friendly and the food is exceptional! I've tried many Chinese restaurants, not a more! Seriously, if you haven't tried them out give them a try. Also they serve hard to find Moo Shu Pork try it you'll absolutely love it. I turned my family on to this meal and now they order it! Thank you Panda Imperial!!!“

“可以吃到上海的生煎包，很Nice.味道很正宗.非常值得推薦“

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

“The food is great and this place is an institution. I’m mainly leaving a review here because someone left a review saying they found “cartilage” in their noodle dish… those pieces in the picture are clearly squid. The person who ordered must never have seen squid before.“

“My friends and I drove down from LA to eat at Ying Li and it was amazing!

This was my second time and I had a wonderful experience on both occasions.

The staff are so welcoming and friendly! The food is amazing and portions are generous.

My favorite dish was the salt and pepper chicken wings. They had a superb crunch and savory flavor.

I can’t wait to come back for another great meal!“

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

“For noodle purists and seekers of authentic regional comfort, finding a bowl that truly transports you can be a lifelong pursuit. Having traversed the bustling noodle alleys of Shanghai and sampled celebrated destinations like Magic Noodle in Las Vegas, my standards for handmade noodles are exacting. Yet, nestled right here in the heart of San Diego, Noodle and Bun has effortlessly claimed a spot among the very best in the country.
The Star of the Menu: Spicy Beef Brisket Noodle
The crown jewel of the meal was undoubtedly the Spicy Beef Brisket Noodle paired with house-made knife-cut noodles. The texture of the noodles is a testament to true artisanal craftsmanship—chewy, robust, and possessing that ideal rustic variance that only skilled hand-cutting can achieve.
What truly elevates the dish, however, is the masterclass in spice balance. Too often, stateside Sichuan-inspired noodle houses lean too heavily on Sichuan peppercorns, rendering your palate completely numb after just a few bites. Here, the kitchen demonstrates remarkable restraint and precision: the peppercorn profile is aromatic and vibrant, enhancing the rich, tender beef brisket without overwhelming the senses. It is a masterclass in flavor equilibrium.
A Minor Misstep: The Xiao Bao
No dining experience is entirely without flaw. The Xiao Bao arrived slightly overcooked—likely a casualty of a bustling, high-volume evening service. However, even with the structural compromise from a bit too much time in the heat, the quality of the ingredients could not be masked. The filling tasted undeniably fresh, and each bite remained impressively juicy, hinting at a very capable kitchen even when running under pressure.
Service and Practicalities
* Service: Attentive, welcoming, and efficient. The front-of-house team manages the rush with grace, keeping the energy upbeat.
* Parking: As expected for the vibrant Fourth Avenue corridor in downtown San Diego, parking is a formidable challenge. Be prepared to circle for street parking or utilize nearby paid garages.
The Verdict
Noodle and Bun delivers where it matters most: extraordinary, authentic noodle-making that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with international heavyweights. Minor kitchen hiccups aside, this is an essential destination for anyone who appreciates the soul of hand-crafted pasta.“

“Good fun but a $10 cover charge“

“One of the best meals Ive had in SD! The fish came out perfectly crispy and tender on the inside. The veggies on the side was generous. Skewers were delicious as well especially the chicken cartilage (MUST!!). There are also unlimited side dishes/fruits free self serve. And ice cream like black sesame flavored.

The service was very friendly! I called ahead and they offered to help me put my name on the waitlist which was nice.“

“Absolutely the most of the most! The veggies are abundant fresh and crispy. the pork is tender and flavorful and the tiny rice noodles are hot and well cooked. they serve it with large lettuce leaves that you wrap all the goodies up as a Vietnamese burrito. and dip it into a flavorful sauce called fish sauce but it is not fishy and does not taste like fish. Tops! Every dish is tops. and the soups are also fun to try. A fun meal pretty much describes the Saigon Restaurant. Thank you, Victor. He's the top cheese there. I'm so happy this restaurant survived the pandemic.“

“My wife and I order the salt and pepper wings here to take to family parties all the time. The wings taste great, they complete the order fast and the prices are great. They are quite friendly as well. Highly recommend you order your salt and pepper wings here.“

“WOW, talk about value for your money!! My to-go container was packed to the brim and HEAVY. And the food was GOOD - I got orange chicken, Kung Pao chicken, and Chow Mein noodles. I’ll definitely be back here. Pleasantly surprised.“

“The best place in San Diego for tasty, authentic dim sum from push-carts!🥰😀“

“My mom has been taking me and my siblings to this place since I was like a toddler I think and even before I was born probably. I’m now 20 and I still enjoy coming here. It’s one of my favorite spots and depending on who you bring. They might also like it. I have so many good memories at this place and even if it was just ordering takeout this place has been a big part of my family just for dinner, parties, or just because we’re hungry I definitely recommend this place even though it’s under new ownership. It still reminds me of the place that I used to go to when I was younger and I love that. This place will always be close to my heart and to my family“

“AMAZING AMAZING Place! Hi quality food. Huge shrimps, squids, salad, meats - all delicious. We got the prime menu. Plenty time to eat, absolutely no rush and can order any time. Great service. We have a blast! One of the best AYCE BBQ
Were busy eating and forgot to take pictures ☺“

“Been eating here since I was about 5, now at 40 I could finish their bowl on my own thank goodness ?, thank goodness the flavor is still the same. Same owners/cook since i was 5,. Tried other restaurants in LA china town and still not as good as this one. Even though i live farther away mow, i still drive there to get their special noodle soup (been eating since i was 5), eveyone i introduced this restuarant too now loves it. People who loves pho, once they try there noodles soup they can't do pho anymore. Fried egg noodles soup also to die for, including their thick fried noodles, i can go on forever with all their different dishes that will show you what asain/homemade style food is. I've tasted many different chinese food from here to Seattle/Mexicali and this to me is still the restaurant that others try to match up too. ??????“

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

“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!“

“Came here recently with a large group and was very impressed. All the food was delicious and came out very quickly. Excellent dim sum options and dinner dishes. Will come again when I visit again!“

“this place always hits the spot whenever youre hungry. the owners are very nice and welcoming and so is the server that is always working on a tuesday. ive been coming to this spot for so long now. every meal comes with a free soup so you get your moneys worth“

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