16 Best Chinese Restaurants in El Cajon

“It's been forever since ive had pick up stix. I wish you could have items a la carta if you want more than one item but the portion size makes up for it. I got the hot honey chicken and it was delivhtful! I forgot about how yummy their fried rice is too it's not dry and it's really flavorful 😋“

“Tried this for the first time a few months ago. Went back again tonight because we enjoyed it so much. The house fried rice that has chicken, beef, and shrimp is amazing!!! Enjoyed it so much we decided to come monthly now. Great value and we get the 20% off coupon which make it a very good value. Good portions sized too.“

“' ' ' ' We Love The House Special Fried Rice. Yum Yum Yum 😋🤤🤤🤤. Great Staff Very Great Nice People. ' ' ' '“

“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.“

“This is my favorite! The egg rolls are the best I have ever had in my life! They’re huge and packed with veggies! I usually order the house noodles as well. So much flavor. The ladies are so sweet. If ordering for pick up make sure to call it in. Ordering on apps like door dash cost more.“

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

“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.“

“Clean restaurant, very positive and helpful staff, and clean restrooms. Food was hot and ready. This was the third place that we stopped at when we were looking for a place to use the restroom and eat.

They won our business by having a restroom. I guess that's a short supply in El Cajon.“

“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!“

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

“Hands down the best Panda Express experience I’ve had. Being a standalone location, they really have their operations dialed in. The food is always fresh and completely on point, but what really sets this spot apart is the team. The crew here is consistently super friendly and welcoming, and they manage to keep the line moving fast even during peak hours. Top-notch service every single time!“

“Came in super last minute they were so busy yet 1 guy did really well commanding his team by the name of Marco. Hegot everybody served, and was fixing everybody’s mistakes and got the rush out, he was helping out serving,charging at the register and even cooking“

“We had a wonderful celebration at New Century Buffet in El Cajon and everything was excellent!
The food was delicious and our guests really enjoyed the variety. The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and always available to help. They were very accessible and accommodating, which I truly appreciated.
I made the decorations myself and they allowed me to set up and decorate the space with plenty of time and flexibility. That meant a lot to me and made our party extra special.
Great food, beautiful setup, and outstanding service. Highly recommended for birthdays and special events! 5 stars - Thank you New Century Buffet!“

“My brother who i miss very much—informed me that Panda Express...Is his favourite shop to eat at.

I went to this shop today, and the parking lot was full! There was literally only three open spaces left. This tells me this shop does a good job, making the clientele come back.

I came at the right time, I got the fresh noodles from the wok! I also got the bigger plate—three orange chicken as well!

For the food and price, I can't complain. Everyone did a wonderful job from the front end, too the prep chef's.

Nice! Good.

I also got the 🍊FANTA😋“

“Came here for dinner around 8 during my stay at Sycuan Casino. After looking at the menu at the front, we decided what we wanted and ordered at the counter. We ordered the Shumai, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Mongolian Beef. The food was good; had better elsewhere. The rice was a little dry. The staff was friendly during our interactions at the counter and when we got out food. No table service. The atmosphere is a little loud given the location in the casino, but we were still able to have a conversation. I wouldn't mind coming back if staying at Sycuan Casino.“
