50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Del Mar

“Eating a lot of their food past four months through Grub Hub due to being unable to walk. It’s always excellent. Tonight’s was super excellent, chop suey with beef extra snow peas and Napa cabbage. Been cooking for over 60 years and this is one of the best and healthiest things I have ever eaten.
Also a bargain…one order is enough for three meals!!!
Thank you Chins!!!💥“

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

“First time here, was pretty good. You get assigned a table; then you go up and grab your bowl to make your hotpot (at least a pound) . You can get a second bowl for skewers and hand it to the counter , I would recommend getting all your hotpot stuff first then going back for the skewers so its easier on your hands. Would go back again.“

“delicious food! all of it“

“The best Chinese restaurant on campus, and it was an incredible experience! The food was delicious, with a great variety of authentic dishes. The customer service was outstanding; the staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome. The service was impressively fast, making it perfect for a quick, satisfying meal between classes. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and a pleasant dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“we've been 3 times in the past few months and every time was great. we went the day after my wife's birthday, the same day our pet passed, and the staff made it a very special experience and distraction from our loss. absolutely recommend 110%. great food, great people, great experience overall.“

“Phenomenal soup! Loved the amount of spice and the flavor was top notch. Good amount of beef. Very tender. I got the Braised Beef bowl and was only sad that my giant spoon couldn’t get the last drop of broth at the bottom ;)
Might want to keep your napkin tucked into your shirt, splashing might show on ur shirt.“

“Deliciously flavorful. I ordered hand torned noodles with beef in mild spicy. Has the kick of spice without the stress. I was curious about the pork burger with the white bang - that was good too!

Noodles are soft, fresh, and chewy. Must come again.“

“Best Chinese and Mai Tai's in San Diego or maybe the US“

“We came for my husband’s Birthday dinner & everything was so delicious. Andy and his team were super attentive. Not our first time here and definitely not our last.
If you’re looking for great authentic Cantonese food - this is a must - you won’t be disappointed!!!
We came from north county - soooo worth the drive“

“The server was the only one working but she got our order out fast and was so nice. The food was absolutely delicious.“

“La verdad aparte de q yo trabaje aqui esta muy rica la comida todo echo al instante“

“The place I like to go for authentic Shanghai style soupy dumplings. They also have really amazing red oil won tons in the evening, and the fish and chive boiled dumplings are amazingly tasty. They're always fast to get our order and fast to the table, and the lady we had was very knowledgeable and asked us what we needed continuously. It was really good. They also have an amazing beef noodle soup that has thick, chewy noodles, tender, fall apart beef, and spicy soup.“

“Hands down best Chinese food available in San Diego, and arguably some of the best I’ve ever had. Dine-in is a must. 10/10 recommend.

Top picks:
• Salt & pepper chicken wings
• Crispy wontons
• Spicy honey & sesame (“orange”) chicken - or better yet the double delight with chicken & shrimp
• Shanghai crispy pork
• House special lo mein (chicken, beef, & shrimp)“

“Very nice restaurant with a big menu. The tea had chrysanthemum and goji berries and was delicious. Shanghai rice cakes are always a good option and the dessert sesame balls were tasty. Highly recommend. There's also plenty of parking in this small shopping district.“

“The food was really good! Bursting with flavor. I marked it down to 4-stars because I felt that their prices are too high. Maybe if the portions were bigger they could justify the high prices, but their dinner meal portions are standard 16oz takeout cartons with a small white rice.“

“Via Uber Eats -

Ordered Lettuce Wraps. Would have given 5 of 5 stars, but the LETTUCE in my LETTUCE WRAPS was ICEBERG LETTUCE.
Am I being a snob? I don't think so. The chicken mixture was delicious! Better than P.F. Changs (which iI give a 5/10 because i couldn't tell what i was eating and almost broke a tooth on something extremely hard which was sprinkled throughout). But you should, at the very least, spend an extra dime and use a small, sturdier leaf, even romaine.
There's my 2 cents.“

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

“This place serves the most delicious and authentic Southwestern China style noodles. The broth is umami, noodles are chewy, and the seasoning is perfectly balanced with savory and spicy. Every friends I know who tried this restaurant fall in love with it.“

“Loved all the fresh vegetables in my hot pot! Some were new to me. Delicious food and great variety. Friendly place and clean.“

“It was my first time trying Hot Pot, the food was excellent. The experience was also great. Lots of options and everything was fresh.“

“(Lunch on 2025/07/03)
- Garlic Beef was really good
- Honey BBQ pork was above average: pork was consistently cooked and easy to chew
- Roast duck was pretty good but it takes a bit of work to chew the meat off each piece
- Seafood claypot was okay. I'd like a bit more texture and flavor.“

“super nice place, the food is delicious!!! the attention's nice !!! 👍👍“

“We just celebrated our daughter's birthday and the service was really great!!! Our Server Nicolas R. made extra sure that we had everything and even went above and beyond with getting the food out hot and fast. This establishment needs more hard workers like Mr. Nicolas and the hostess that seated us Alicia. Thank you PF Chang for ensuring that our daughter's birthday celebration was a major success.“

“We went here for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty empty. The girl who worked there was really nice and seems to be the only person there who speaks English.

We ordered the skewer combo and added a few vegetable skewers too. I like how we could choose the flavors and spiciness level on each item. It's made to order so there was a little wait. We really enjoyed the food!“

“What a bargain for lunch! I was in the mood for lo mein and came upon this restaurant in my search in the area.
I didn't know how much their lunch special were until I sat down and looked at their menu. Wow! You cannot beat $11 for lunch these days and the food was served on a huge platter! I almost laughed when the waitress brought it out to the table.

This is a small restaurant with a few small patio tables in front. It was a weekday and it wasn't busy. The cashier/waitress was really friendly and nice. She had a ready smile for everyone who came in.

I wanted shrimp lo mein for lunch but only chicken or pork lo mein were on the lunch menu. I paid $2 more for shrimp and there were a lot in my dish. It was really good.
The side salad was plain and just mainly iceberg lettuce but the egg roll was good.“

“Fried garlic pork with steamed rice 😍“

“To go buffet review only: I’ve been here several times and swap between the 99 Ranch buffet. Ultimately, Woo quality, portion size is better than 99 even though it’s $2-3 more. Had the beef with broccoli, chicken with mixed veggies. Both very good and tender meat. Rice was good also. So, today not bad as it’s been less satisfying other visits.“

“One of the best and cleanest China hot pot spot in the universe. Promise you won’t get the runs afterwards. Great food selection and a ton of soup base to choose from. Oh and they have the best selection of dipping sauce as well. Must try if you’re visiting the San Diego area. I drove nearly an hour and half in traffic for dinner.“

“TOO GOOD ! It's been way too long since we have eaten here...close to 21 months. Even though there are heaps of Asian eateries around Irvine where we moved to in Nov, 2022 no one serves authentic Chinese food like this place. Forget about the cheesy ambience inside an old movie theater that is mostly an Asian supermarket...it's all about the incredible food. WEEKEND GETAWAY ! My wife and I hit the road at 10.30am on Friday to kick off our fun packed weekend down in San Diego. We hit heavy traffic as expected but better earlier than later. FIRST STOP ! We arrived here for lunch around 12.30pm. While my wife parked our car I headed inside to the restaurant....to my surprise Joe the long time manager recognized me straight off and showed me to a vacant table in the corner. TOO EASY ! When Joe popped over to say hi I gave him our lunch order. We knew exactly what we wanted...1 x Kung Pao Shrimp and 1 x Honey Walnut Shrimp. Joe came back with a pot of Jasmine tea and 2 tall iced waters. IT WAS PACKED ! Before too long Joe brought out my wife's huge serve of Honey Walnut Shrimp. Within 2 or 3 minutes my delectable looking Kung Pao Shrimp hit the table. MOUTHSATIONAL ! Trust me no one serves authentic Chinese food as good as here. My Kung Pao Shrimp tasted amazing...no tails on the shrimp and it was kicked up just enough. My wife was in gourmet food heaven enjoying her Honey Walnut Shrimp but I did have to pinch a few of her juicy shrimp with walnuts. THE BEST ANYWHERE !“

“A friend and I decided to try this place for lunch.
The server was Excellent. I think her name was Jenny. My friend had Orange Chicken.
It was a large portion and the lunch came with either Egg Flower soup or Hot & Sour.
Both were very good.
It also came with delicious Egg Rolls, crispy Won Tons as well as steamed or fried rice.
I had Pork Egg Foo Young and it was Excellent.
Hard to find Egg Foo Young on menus.
Extremely clean and pleasant atmosphere.
I can hardly wait to go back and try other items on their large lunch menu.“

“When we entered there wasn’t anyone, and tbh the restaurant’s design looked a little bare… it almost looked like it wasn’t doing well. When the food came, my entire family (with three kids) loved it. We were here for lunch and ordered noodles, and I could just say it’s comfort in my belly. Tho they took our order wrongly and served us an extra bowl of noodle (and we paid for it), we took it bcos we wanted to try something else from the menu.

A senior lady (I suppose she’s the one who cooked the dishes) came out and asked if everything was alright, and even gave us a free bottle of drink. Oh, there was also a small crowd also flowed in during our meal as well.

Would recommend!“

“My friend and I really enjoyed this restaurant. Both of us ordered the pulled noodles, which a good amount of raw garlic (good for your health!). I personally did not like the food as much as my friend, who vouched it was better than other places. Nevertheless I thought it was all worth it and would recommend it, as they have a style that feels home-made.

Parking: Absolutely no issues.

Kid-friendliness: Almost certainly kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Almost certainty no issues with wheelchair, as there are no stairs or interferences with the entrance of the supermarket“

“Love this place and the food is all good 😘“

“We were a party of 11 for lunch and Yummy House worked out great with their large table and lazy Susan.

The food’s amazing and some of the best stir fry I’ve had in San Diego. They aren’t crazy busy for lunch unlike a lot of other restaurants.

The meals are priced reasonably and you get a lot of food.

Definitely recommend Yummy House and can’t wait to go back.“

“I really do appreciate good customer service, but the young woman behind the counter went above and beyond. She not only suggested I add their app to my iPhone to get a 20% discount, but patiently helped me do it when I was fumbling with the process. She saw as sweet as can be, and unfortunately I did not catch her name. I return to that’s spot at least once a month for a lunch break while at work in the La Jolla area. With excellent customer service and food, why wouldn’t I?“

“To be honest, this isn’t the first place we planned to go to, but I’m really happy that they have a karaoke spot with good food! There are 10 of us, and the only room available was the Large one, which costs $60 per hour with a 2-hour minimum, so we paid $120.

The place is spacious with a lot of food options to try. Unfortunately, most of the karaoke songs are in Chinese or other Asian languages. I’m Filipino, and I noticed they don’t have Filipino songs and only a limited selection of American songs. I don’t mean to sound negative, I just want to have a good time with good friends and great karaoke. The staff are very nice though, and I hope they can upgrade the song selection soon. Hehehe“

“Just keep in mind I came here on a Monday at 6 PM so we didn't have to wait for a table or battle for parking. This parking lot was not turned into a paid lot try. It's where Chorus and Hive are. It's still fairly new so the menu is slightly limited. We saw photos of dishes on the wall but were told they were not available until next year. The jjajangmyeon was slightly watery. I got the "meat" one so there were strips of grilled pork. My husband got the "spicy" one which was green chili on top. It was not crazy spicy according to him but it was not that painful spicy. We got the chili shrimp and I really liked that. It was crispy, fried jumbo shrimp over with sweet chili sauce on a bed of cabbage. It had enough heat making your lips feel some heat. I liked it even though it's not a fancy dish. If I don't have to come on a busy weekend night I'm down to come back.

Oh just be ready to order on really slow tablets but your order gets through as long you're patient with the tablets. The tables are far enough where you feel like you're not on top of each other like at other restaurants in Convoy.“

“Best BBQ Pork and the Lomein is great. Been coming since they opened and never disappointed.“

“It was so good! I had to go get a second round of baos ❤️ My kids loved it too!“

“It's Funny. It's Easter and Everyone is Starved. And all my housemates are like, "Let's go have some China Quik Wok!" This place is THAT good!!!“

“It’s in a supermarket food court, if you know what to order you’ll be pleasantly surprised, we had the scallion lamb and we ordered it a little bit spicy, they can customize their dishes to your taste!! Steamed shrimp dumplings were excellent!! We loved the stir fried string beans!! We’ll definitely be coming back!!“

“Plenty of parking
Friendly staff with quick service
QR code to view and order online
Food was delicious and large portion sizes
The buns were were soft and fluffy, paired great with the braised pork belly
Beef noodles were delicious!“

“Wonderful dummpling place all freshly hand make. We cannot wait to bring them home, so we order one juicy pork xioa lang bao to eat there and one to go along with 2 pork bun to go. The place is mainly for take home but there are few tables for eat it also. You want to eat the xiao lang bao nice and hot, so be careful because there is hot soup in the bao. I put the bao on the soup spoon bite the tip of the bao to make a small hole on top so I can suck the soup first before eating the bao. 😋“

“Overall: The food was good, very authentic, and it took 20 minutes for the food to come out.Fish with sour soup: The flavor is strong! But it was the perfect mixture of spicy and sour. I would highly recommend it pouring over and eating over the rice.Spicy Noodle Soup: Again, more spicy than sour. However, it was the perfect Mala spicy-nessLocation: Its in a plaza lose to the Qualcomm work place with a lot of the other places to eat. The parking might be limited if it is a busy day.Service: Food came out fast. You know its authentic when you see a lot of Asian people eating there too. The ambiance was nice too, clean and minimally decorated.Price: It's a little pricy for my taste. However, the quality is good.“

“The best chinese food in San Diego...“

“Just had an amazing dinner. We ordered Navratan Korma, hummus & naan, 2 chai teas, and two deserts. All of it was so full of flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were perfect.
The servers were very helpful with their dessert recommendation. The Ras Malai was better than I expected. Smooth milk cakes in sweet cream with coconut shavings. That was a great finish to a great dinner.
I will definitely be returning soon.“

“I wish I had the time to try each and every dish…what devoured was absolutely amazingly delicious“

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

“The food was good & they have a great selection of lunch combos that come with soup & salad for a reasonable price! There was actually a lot of food, the plates were very large, which made the pic look like less food. It was so much that I couldn't finish the shrimp.“
