11 Best Chinese Restaurants in El Cajon

“We have lived in RSD for 10 years and love all the options near us. One of our favorite go to restaurants is Pick Up Stix mainly this location in RSD. The food is delicious and the service is always given with a smile and genuine, personal care for quality and a desire to give the customer what they expect when their order is made. My family and I always enjoy walking in and being greeted with sincerity. This RSD location has always been consistent in taste and quality. Thank you!“

“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. ' ' ' '“

“I recently researched a good Chinese restaurant for takeout, and it was a great experience! I called the restaurant, and the person who answered was so patient and helpful, answering every single question I had. It was really nice. I gave them a pickup time, and it was totally worth it.

We tried the Beef Lo Mein ($15.99), Shrimp House Special Fried Rice ($14.99), Salt & Pepper Shrimp ($19.99), and Homestyle Tofu ($14.99). Everything was delicious, flavorful, and perfectly salty. The portions were generous, enough for the two of us, which was amazing.

Just a heads-up: since it’s a restaurant, if you’re sensitive to salt, you might want to ask them to go easy on it. Otherwise, just drink plenty of water. Personally, I loved it! We’ll definitely be returning.“

“A must, for great Chinese food. This place gives great service and always plenty of food with your order. They go the extra mile to make you smile. Everything is so tasty. We usually order to go, orders have always been made correctly.“

“I have eaten Vietnamese cuisine throughout California, and Grandpa Tao ranks among the best. In addition to the amazing tastes, the casual restaurant is friendly and comfortable. Ingredients are fresh, the environment clean and relaxing. I particularly recommend the Pho, the Rice Vermicelli (try it!) and the Shaking beef. You'll like it.“

“I love love love this place!!! My WIFE introduced me to them...the food is so yummy!!“

“They have delicious food. Everytime I have the opportunity to go there, I do!!👍🏿“

“After trying the dan dan noodles at a vegan pop-up market today, I can not stop thinking about them! The noodles, the OmniPork, the crisp veggies. Amazing. My boyfriend had the spring rolls and really liked them. I am looking forward to trying the rest of the menu because the whole menu looks fantastic! The staff was super friendly, and the portions were generous. Who can complain about vegan Chinese food? I can not, as it is challenging to find and is one of my favorite cuisines. I will continue to support this local restaurant and recommend giving it a try!“

“We got 2 combo plates (B) and i single (A) and man they load up the food! We got chow mein and rice as sides and beef & broccoli 🥦 Coconut 🥥 Shrimp 🍤 and Orange 🍊 Chicken 🐔. Honestly, it's enough food to split. I got an extra plate, which I probably didn't need. We took a lot home. The chow main was delicious, but the rice was pretty bland. The main dishes were good too. The service was fine. The place itself isn't much for atmosphere or decoration, it's pretty plain. Also to note, a few doors down there is an over 18 only pub or bar, and lots of guys were standing outside smoking.“

“Quick and easy, good food, great rewards program and easy parking. Sometimes, feel a bit rushed through and area to eat is small but clean. The tea and Lychee drinks are fantastic.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options but if you're picky about oil used, just ask.

Parking: The location in Rancho San Diego can be tricky to park close but there's a huge parking lot nearby if you don't mind crossing the little parking lot road. There are other businesses nearby if multiple options are needed and there's a Soapy Joe's car wash if you need a car wash. Otger locations are available all over the city with a drive through in south bay near Notth Island Credit Union Amphitheater and Sesame place water park.“
