Chinese Restaurants near East Palo Alto

“There is a sweet girl not sure about her name (probably Jade) she is very friendly and her service is fantastic. She is always smiling and she ask me always if I am in need of sauces or if everything was OK with the other I love that kind of attention which is not usual in this kind of restaurants“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible! A Must-Visit Hidden Gem

​I came here with a friend today and was completely blown away. The dishes look amazing, the portions are generous, and the flavors are absolutely spot-on!“

“Super chill lunch spot and unbelievably fast service. Huge menu options and still comes out flavorful. Lunch vibes are peaceful and layout allows to chill vibes while enjoying good food. If there Chinese dish you want, they will have it. Order at the table style so super easy for larger groups. Parking is in the middle of a shopping complex and Sunnyvale so when it gets busy hard to find parking but there are spaces available around the area. Overall a really nice Chinese food spot that would definitely visit again.“

“We came to here to celebrate Mother's Day, and it wasn't too crowded. We ordered quite a few different skewers, including chicken gizzard, beef, lamb, and veggies. One thing I really like about this place was the seasoning was flavorful without being too salty that you could actually tasted the meats flavor. Highly recommended!“

“Food is wounderful and not that expensive… worth it….😃“

“Very unusual and delicious dumplings. I don’t live in the bay so I was strangely close to the two tables on either side. The service was OK, but they seemed to lose track of us for a short time.
But the flavours were very good and the portions large.“

“We stopped by to get some soup on a cold Friday night and I'm so glad that we did. The soup was absolutely delicious. The noodles brought up childhood memories of my grandma's homemade noodles. The broth was very tasty and there were plenty of vegetables. My boyfriend had steamed buns with pork, he like them a lot. Very reasonably priced. We'll be back.“

“Hands down some of the best Sichuan Roasted Fish I’ve had. The fish is perfectly tender, soaked in a rich, numbing broth that packs a serious punch. I loved the variety of toppings—the cauliflower and bamboo shoots are flavor sponges. Large portions make it perfect for sharing.“

“We had the kung pao VG chicken and orange peel VG steak. Both items were great - special mention for the latter! Been here a few times over the years and been generally happy with the food. The service was the fastest I can remember in a long time. The interiors were quite cozy without being fancy, and the soft music in the background made for a friendly, easygoing vibe that you'd hope for from a business in your neighborhood.“

“I truly appreciate the authenticity of Chinese cuisine, and the exceptional culinary skills showcased. The special tea duck, in particular, captivates my taste buds with its exquisite flavor. Each bite is a delightful experience, making it a standout dish for me.“

“No frills steam table layout for take out. Generous servings, food is flavorful. Continuous flow of customers that help ensure dishes are freshly prepared and replenished. Compared to Panda Express, servings are at least double, more flavorful, and about 10% cheaper.“

“My second visit at this restaurant. First visit was during pandemic when they just opened for to go order. This time I came for dinner while waiting for my tires get fixed. It was not busy when I arrived. You can check the menu with QR code but you have to order with the server.
As there are plenty authentic chinese dishes on the menu I couldn't decide which one to order, I finally ordered Changsa noodle and chili fried chicken.
The food was ready pretty quickly. One thing I didn't pay attention while ordering was the chili fried Chicken. I expected to be dark meat and it was white meat whichbis very uncommon on this type of dish as I had this dish at many restaurants and all served with dark meat. I didn't pay attention to the description of the dish. It was good but I prefer dark meat.
The Changsa noodle is unique as it is cooked with a lot of egg, jalapeno and black bean. It was yummy but I feel the egg overpowering the noodle.
At last about gratuity. It mentions we don't need to tip but 18% is included which is a tip. It is very misleading information. If customer doesn't need to tip then 18% mandatory charge should not be enforced. Service was just ok.
When we about to leave the restaurant was almost full which is a good sign.
Overall food is good as it 4 stars but 18% mandatory gratuity will make me reconsider if I will be back for eat in.“

“It is really tasty food. The broth I think is eapeciallly tasty.

To start I think it’s pretty quick to get a seat, even though the restaurant seems quite busy. The service also seems quite quick and you order quite fast. Seems like there is also a lot of customization available on the menu for the noodle. Once we ordered it wasn’t too long till we got the food.

Overall the food is really good. Texture of the noodle is good, flavouring is good, and spice level is good as well. I didn’t think it was too spicy which was nice.

Pleasant experience“

“The best Chinese food my daughter and I have had in a long time. She’s says it’s the best she’s EVER had, and she loves Chinese food. I recommend this place 💯“

“Came here for a casual date night on a Friday. Place was pretty empty for a Friday which meant we got seated right away, and staff was friendly throughout. Portions run small so plan to order more than you think you need. Still a great value. For the food itself:

The Dan Dan noodles are the move. Oily, salty, spicy, and the Sichuan peppercorns actually numb your face and stick around. Makes sense they're the most popular thing on the menu.

Chicken xiao long bao were good but the broth inside was weak compared to other places I've had them. Still good though.

Chicken potstickers were well executed, good crisp on the bottom, but nothing standout about them.

Sweet and sour cucumber was a solid starter and looked nice, but the slices were too thick to actually be able to rip out.

The egg fried rice is really good. Oilier than most but that's exactly why it works.“

“A good Chinese restaurant with above average food. We tried the cabbage and pork boiled dumplings, the steamed pork soup dumplings, and the pan fried pork soup dumplings. The pan fried soup dumplings were the best – good flavor, crispy bottoms, and juicy soup inside. The boiled dumplings were only okay. I thought the pork filling for the boiled dumplings was a bit musky, and I found a piece of gristle in one dumpling. The steamed pork soup dumplings could have used more soup but were otherwise fine. We also ordered a side of cucumber salad, which was decent overall but a bit salty and garlicky. The service was brisk and professional. They brought us rice for no extra charge – a nice touch. We thought the atmosphere was pleasant overall, with warm lights and plants.“

“My favorite Chinese-American casual restaurant. Their house specials I’ve tried have all been great, the Super Savory fried chicken sandwich is outstanding (eat your heart out, Popeye’s), and the beer and cider are interesting, very good, and only $5 each. This is one of the fast casual projects that share the same owner as the Michelin-starred Mister Jiu’s in SF’s Chinatown, and the food quality reflects this.“

“A lovely white tablecloth setting. Great service and delicious food. A lot like Wings in San Jose which is out of business now😭. So yes I love that we found King Chuan Restaurant 😍“

“We had a wonderful dinner here, with boiling beef and pumpkin cake. We also got the beef bun. All were delicious. We love the atmosphere and deco inside. There’s also free ice cream! Highly recommended for anyone with young children, or those who enjoy a good atmosphere - it feels like a real restaurant in China. Highly recommended!“

“SUPER-delicious food, but waitstaff is clearly overwhelmed.

My friend and | shared four plates (hey, we were hungry!)
- String Beans with Garlic: cooked and seasoned perfectly!
- Pork Xiao Long Bao: also delicious!
- Shrimp, Pork w.Chives Dumpling
- and Shanghai Style Pan Fried Juice Pork Buns, probably our
favorite given the varied texture and - as with everything else-
awesome flavor l

We arrived at 5:30pm before the place was too busy, but it was soon hopping! And we didn't see very much of our server, so it was sometimes difficult to get her attention to order more or bring us the check. So I do feel it'd be lovely to have a bit more attentive and friendly service. That aside, I'm sure I'll be back to get more of this deliciousness!“

“The picture says it all. 😋“

“The amount of love my family, I, and all the customers receive whenever we walk into P.F. Chang’s in Sunnyvale is truly unbelievable.

The management and staff are incredibly professional and welcoming, and they always treat you as if you’re the only table in the restaurant—even when they're busy and the restaurant is packed.

Their genuine kindness means the world to us and always makes our day.

I’d also like to recognize a few team members who have made our visits especially memorable. I apologize in advance if I’ve forgotten to mention everyone by name, but please know that we truly appreciate the entire team and everything they do!!

Big shout out of appreciation to: Neby, Julia, Randy, Felipe, Kristen, Sergio and everyone else!“

“House of Dumplings is an absolute treasure! Their dumplings are incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly handmade with care. Every bite is a delight, whether steamed or pan-fried. Beyond the dumplings, their other Chinese dishes are also excellent. This place is a must-visit for authentic and delicious food. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Went with a group of 10+ people for a weekday lunch in this restaurant. As a start, we ordered the popular Chinese tea smoked duck and the honey walnut shrimp among others (spicy dishes were mostly avoided as most of us are not comfortable with eating spicy stuff). Service provided was impeccable and the restaurant atmosphere was also nice and quiet. However, the quality of the dishes did not quite match the other two areas mentioned above. Besides the smoked duck dish that was great, the consensus among some of us at my table was that the dishes were a bit too salty and oily. Also, the portion sizes that came with the meat dishes being served were barely sufficient for our table of 8-9 people (did not get feedback from the other table occupants). Nevertheless, the manager prepared a special fish dish that was not found on the menu along with some cultural explanation associated with eating this fish dish which left a favorable impression among the group of us. Thus, this helped to bump up the rating for the standard of the food being served.“

“Grand opening with free meals! Delicious!!!“

“My favorite & go to hotpot!! The meat options are amazing, especially the recommended beef (三筋). They also offer different combos thats reasonably priced with variety of food. It’s perfect for dining by yourself or with a group! My favorite soup broth bases are the tomato one and the spicy one! The beef skewer is also amazing.“

“I was literally blown away by the flavors!!

We had beef pancakes (little sweet, smooth flavors, so good!!)

Beef and cabbage broth - so much goodness and earthy flavors, truly!

Last but not least, Mongolian chicken was spicy, so tender, and juicy!

Everything tastes really delicious. Definitely plan on coming again next week!

It was so unexpectedly delicious, I forgot to take pictures :))“

“It's a Lil hole in th wall, but th food is good. Good selection of Dumplings. Stir fry grn beans a must hv. My good to for dumplings

Vegetarian options: Veggie dumplings, fried rice n chow mein

Parking: Parkin lot is in th back so u'll hv to walk around th block, which is helpful aft ur done eating“

“Was looking for dim sum in Mountain View so this Castro Street location fit the bill.

Pros: Ample free parking behind the restaurant and plenty of seating for our 11 am arrival today (Saturday). Was fun to have the traditional cart service for dim sum again. Service was friendly and efficient. Good variety of dishes.

Cons: Most of the food was cold! That was disappointing. I guess it’s one of the trade offs of cart service.“

“Having enjoyed their dishes many times for months, It’s beyond “Very Satisfying”! Excellent, delicious food! Quality well maintained although it is a hard time under C-19. Hygiene suggestions n requests well followed! Thanks 🙏 Customer Service outstanding! Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“IMO the best chinese food place in downtown San Carlos - their sizzling rice soup, and sizzling eggplant vegetables are 😋. You can also do a Bubble tea takeout - do try their Mango yakult (no caffeine) and Thai iced tea. Staff is friendly.“

“We ordered Li’s Watermelon Soup with Lamb, Stir-Fried Pork, and Beef Tripe in Chili. The soup was the highlight — perfectly seasoned, generous with lamb, and even included goji berries. The other two dishes were quite good as well. Service was excellent; the staff were warm and welcoming. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and inviting.“

“Best Tao Tao beef, and Chinese chicken salad, anywhere. I've had it shipped to me in Texas, as the owner was so kind. Now I'm in Mexico, probably can't happen. I did get the recipe for the chicken salad once from my great grandma, friends of the Tao family. I just need to find it. it's there! But much better in person.“

“I had lunch here for my 1st time. I will be back for many more lunches. Thank you folks very much and I’m looking forward to scarfing my left overs for dinner.“

“Stumbled upon this place last weekend. It’s a hidden gem when it comes to Chinese food. Price is reasonable with large portions and many choices. Had to go back again on Tuesday for fried rice and spicy orange chicken. Highly recommend!!!“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“服務好 速度也快 食物很好吃 會一吃還想再吃的串烤店“

“Great good! Clean friendly“

“great food. good service“

“As someone from Chengdu who has lived in the U.S. for over 20 years, I was pleasantly surprised by the authentic flavors at Jade Xiang Yue. The sour long bean stir-fried chicken giblets tasted just like home—clean, flavorful, and well-balanced. The stir-fried beef was tender and spicy, with great meat quality. Their roast duck was fresh and juicy, made on the spot, and definitely one of the better ones I’ve had in the Bay Area. The restaurant is clean and tidy, with a comfortable atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive. I heard they offer a lunch set for four at $58, and the portions are generous. I’ll definitely be back with friends😍“

“とても美味しくて，良かったです“

“Highly recommend this meat shop. Everything is fresh, well-cut, and the selection is impressively complete. From BBQ cuts to hot pot slices, you can find everything you need in one place. Big portions, fair prices — great quality for the value.“

“So freakin awesome. Tasty and spicy noodles with so much flavor.“

“Very authentic Cantonese clay pot dishes. Everything came out piping hot. The flavors are spot on. The place is clean and not crowded. Service is fast. The only negative is that the ribs in the pot we ordered were very chewy and the sliced meats in the porridge were also chewy. However all the cured meats and sausages were perfect so we still enjoyed the dishes. Will definitely come back to try another time.“

“Kirin is our go to place for Chinese food! Very delicious, with fresh seafood and great service. The restaurant is bright and clean and great for larger parties also. Plenty parking in the back. Favorites are the crab, lobster, honey walnut prawns, and the variety of vegetables such as pea sprouts and green beans. Looking forward to coming back again and again!“

“Edit (additions) May 27, 2026.

After my initial review I have come back again and again. This restaurant never failed my expectation. It is getting better with time. In this day and age for a restaurantuer to persist in their belief in delivering quality foods at reasonable price, while maintaining the customer-centered focus it takes genuine deterimination and honesty. I recommend this place without any reservation.

(Original review below)

Authentic Chinese cuisine at better than affordable prices. For the quality in the selection of material and preparation you really can't beat this place. The service is responsive, personal, and fast. Clean, bright, and spacious feeling. Open space kitchen allows you easy glance at the dedication of the culinary staff in action. Easy to get to, and plenty of parking space.“

“Been disappointed to many times trying American Chinese food in Bay area (some hyped up ones) - but have to say this place was so satisfying. Reasonable price (lunch special applies even during the weekends) great portion, full of flavor. We got beef with broccoli and Kung Pao Chicken and both dishes were amazing.“

“The private room experience was great—comfortable, clean, and perfect for a group dinner. It felt relaxed and private, which made the whole meal more enjoyable.

The service was smooth and attentive without being too much. Everything came out at a good pace and the staff were friendly.

The highlight was definitely the food—the Peking duck and grilled fish were so good. The duck was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. The grilled fish was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and super satisfying.

Overall, really solid spot. Would definitely come back, especially for those two dishes!“

“The food is so so delicious, I regularly order takeout on the phone and they recognize me easily. I absolutely recommend people in the area try this restaurant whether you dine in or take out because they are very welcoming and friendly and their food is amazing. I hope they are here to stay for a long long time! They are my go-to Chinese food!“

“Great experience here. Absolutely 5 stars the food and the service. Shout out to our server ELLIOTT very nice, he took really good care of us. He made sure we are taking good care and very attentive. I celebrate my birthday here. They came to sing me a happy birthday. Great place to celebrate a birthday with a group or family . I hope the manager is reading. Elliott was AWESOME!“
