50 Best Chinese Restaurants near El Sobrante

“Very delicious! I got the chicken and mixed vegetables with steamed rice. Their lunch special came with a corn soup, which was also tasty and a nice way to start the meal. I liked the sauce on the chicken and vegetables a lot. Rice just needed soy sauce. Nice and large portions. Also came with fried wontons and sweet and sour sauce. My husband liked the spicy orange chicken but didn’t find it spicy. We shared the Chinese chicken salad as well. Even their tea was good! Would happily come back.

Parking: Shared lot with laundromat and liquor store, felt safe too.

Kid-friendliness: Noticed a high chair.“

“A little hole in the wall Chinese food shop.
CASH ONLY
This has been here forever. Like 20+ years at least. I hadn’t been in a long time but I was driving by and thought I’d stop. Same good Chinese food ready to go as I’d remembered. Would definitely go again. I’d rather give my business to them than the panda.“

“I enjoy this restaurant very much. The food is excellent and fresh. it’s served hot every time. The servers can speed up with taking orders but otherwise, they are o.k. The restaurant is ok. The seating is too close for me but I get it. There’s No parking. It’s excellent.“

“Great hot pot spot next to Uc Berkeley. They serve alcohol and it’s perfect for those who are freezing and need some nice soup. There is plenty of parking with a parking lot right next door. Can’t miss it. I’d recommend the seafood. Don’t know what the other reviews are talking about but it smells amazing! Would come back again!“

“I ordered three orders of chow mein for my kid’s birthday party. They served them all in one big aluminum tray and it was enough for about 9 small servings.

I was really thrilled. The quality of the chow mein is outstanding, and they really made it easy for me to order the day before and serve it hot. I will definitely be ordering here again.“

“I agree with the last review~ the food here is so good! My husband got take out and ordered orange chicken, an eggplant dish in really delicious garlicky sauce, and a fried noodle dish with combo veggies and meat+shrimp. Will definitely go here again! Thanks, Happy Garden!“

“The vegetarian food was great! Love the potatoes from Szechuan!“

“i been to this restaurant many times al the people who work there make you feel like home the food always delicious always . they very fast with everything and they clean and they always serving the food more than enough. i love this restaurant i highly recommended them for anybody’s looking to have a great Chinese food“

“Food was great, really liked that it is served hot and fresh. Portions are good for 2 people.
I ordered: Vegetable Fried Rice, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Pork Soup Dumpling. Plus Tip Total was $70
Soup Dumpling has excellent flavors but the meat inside was a bit small compare to other places I've been.
Honey Walnut Shrimp was great! Not the usual flavors I am used to when it comes to HWS but I like it. I think they may have added sesame oil. There was so much shrimp so this was a very good surprise for me since in most restaurant I can count the amount of shrimp they put in just by looking.
Vegetable Fried Rice was good, just your normal average fried rice. Nothing stood out from how it tasted or presented.

Service was good for there was barely any people in the restaurant, it seems that the locals do prefer to order out than eat in. They are very attentive and quick to serve.
When you enter you are greeted and once seated you are handed a tablet to place your order. If you have questions you can easily flag them down. I am unsure but I don't think they have any normal size spoon because when I asked for a spoon to eat my fried rice, the choice I have was either a soup spoon, which I already have. Or a giant serving spoon. I should have just asked for a fork lol

Atmosphere, It's good. It is very bright in the restaurant and they play some music in the background. I think that it's just too bright and they need to lessen the lights.“

“traveling and yelped this .. just go..“

“We’ve been to Szechuan restaurant several times, both dine in and take out. The food is always great and the staff is very friendly. Last night’s meal was particularly good. We ordered a couple of new dishes which were yesterday‘s specials. One had eggplant and chicken and the other was some fish dish. We had it as take out for a dozen guests at home. All of our guests were complimenting the food and asking where we got it from. Thank you Szechwan Restaurant.“

“I get my lunch takeaways from here. Had a craving for eggplant in garlic sauce. Note: their lunch specials include soup and salad only if you EAT IN. I got an egg roll with my special, so I was happy. Food was hot and yummy, enough left for a light bite at dinner.“

“Iv dined here since the early 1990's and always have a pleasant experience. It's changed owners within their family and the interior has been updated but the core still stays the same. Attentive staff, good food, and always bustling!“

“If you’re looking for a great spot to grab Chinese food in Richmond, V8 Kitchen on Macdonald Ave is definitely worth checking out. My wife and I found this place on Google Maps while looking for something new to try—and we’re glad we did! The photos and menu looked promising, and we were in the mood for a good lunch date.

As soon as we walked in, the lady who took our order greeted us with a warm welcome and helped us feel right at home. She was quick, polite, and made the whole experience feel personal. The place had a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, perfect for a casual and relaxing couple’s lunch.

The food? Excellent. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. You can tell they put care into their dishes, and it shows in the taste. The prices were also really fair for the quality and portion size.

All around, this was a great little food adventure for us. If you're local or just passing through Richmond and want good Chinese food with kind service and a calm vibe, V8 Kitchen is a nice choice.“

“23 years a customer, only great meals! Looking forward to stopping by on my next visit to the area.“

“Everything here is 5/5. Very tasty food which is well prepared, but portions are still large. They serve up authentic Hunanese food and Chinese favorites, but also have a section of the menu of Chinese-American classics. Great atmosphere in a unique and airy buidling. Service is very friendly and attentive. Will definitely back.“

“Visiting from out of state. Went here for Father’s Day celebration . Excellent food and service.“

“My family and I LOVE THEM!! The food is SMACKIN not slappin!! The portion sizes are HUGE, the prices are PHENOMENAL and their customer service is EXCEPTIONAL!!
We have been faithful customers for over ten years now and we will forever support these Amazing Hardworking folks!!
THE BEST IN VALLEJO OFF TOP!!“

“I have come to eat in three times, and many for eat out in the two years since I have found this place. China Village always meets or exceeds my expectations. This is NOT a greasy American Chinese food. This is tasty China Food place that I hope you give a chance. It is not fast food prices because it is real food. We had delicious garlic chicken, chicken chao mein, Mongolian beef, fried prawns and a dessert of Sesame Balls. These are all must try items.
Definitely have the hot tea. Take your time and let it soak before you enjoy it.
The variety of food is phenomenal and consistently fresh.
The staff is pleasant, quick and embody the spirit of this classy place. I can definitely see this clean and tidy place being a venue for special parties of class and elegance for the evey person.
If you are looking for a new Chinese place to try out, please come here.“

“I love the food here. Anytime I go, there's never a lot of people in there and I usually order ahead and pick it up. The Salt and Pepper fish, Shrimp Chow Mein-Skinny and Honey Walnut prawns are what I usually order.

The area has changed a lot, Longs, the Dive Bar and Wheel works are all closed. Safeway is still there and CD is to the right of it.

Parking: Plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking is not a problem.“

“I've recently both eaten in and picked up frozen dumplings and chive pancakes to make at home. My gut tells me they really want to be take out only based on the interior of late. Which I fine, the food is super easy to make at home and really, really good!“

“The service is very good and the taste of the food is delicious, 100% recommended“

“The owner is super sweet! Did you know they've been here 20 years? I know what their secret is. It's authentically yummy Vietnamese street style food! Everything from banh mi, fresh spring rolls, boba tea, to crepes. This is my favorite quick stop when I'm in the neighborhood.“

“They have great Tso's and had the best pork fried rice a year ago, this visit it had less flavor but whatever seed oil they use to fry has good character. I'll be back, maybe it was just a bad batch. And it wasn't bad, just lacking.“

“Old-fashioned Chinese restaurant with a homey feel. it's probably been around a long time judging from the decor. The food is decent and the service is good. Affordable prices. It appears lots of customers are regulars, so that's saying something.“

“I'm telling you right now if you like fried rice and chow fun this is the place to come to. It's like six dollars cheaper than most Chinese restaurants. At $10.75 that is a deal these days. It's not super greasy like all the cheap Chinese food out there. This is what Chinese food is supposed to taste like. The rest of the stuff on their menu was great as well but if you're not Chinese, you're not going to know about that food. But I encourage you to try it. It's not super crazy. Basically meat vegetables and rice in a clay pot with a light sauce. and their noodle soups are good too, at like $8.75 a bowl. A lot of Chinese restaurants charge double for that these days.
This is some good quality Chinese food. I know that because I see a lot of old Chinese folks eating here.“

“When we were looking for dinner on College, on a MONDAY night, past 8pm, we found this gem! Becky's has a great relaxing environment, super friendly lady staff and great Chinese food. We ordered the King Pao tofu and also broccoli 🥦 dish, both were excellent. Would highly recommend Becky's.“

“First time. Great find! The food was delicious and well prepared. Didn't have that "all day in the steam tray" look and feel that now seems standard at other similar places. Vegies looked and tasted like they were made from fresh. The meats were tender and generous. Sauces light and not overly sweet or heavy. Will be our new go-to Chinese takeout!“

“Sean Paul and the team are incredible. This is without a doubt the best restaurant in Oakland. Every dish was 11/10. Perfect service aside - the balance of each dish was outstanding- get the tempura Cesar- the wagyu bo Ssam- the hand roll dish!!!!! Literally everything was delicious- will be going back and bringing each and every one of our friends. Michelin star ⭐️ 100% without a doubt.“

“Decided to try a new spot. This place is good. The guy working was super cool too. Did not go light on the shrimps either (I already ate a bunch before I took the pic lol) didn’t look like there was anywhere to sit so assuming take out only.“

“During our recent visit, we decided to try the sichuan noodles, fried chicken wings, chicken and mushroom dumplings along with the XBL variety, and we were absolutely blown away by how freshly made and scrumptious they were! The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, making each bite a delightful experience. The dumplings were cooked to perfection, with a tender, flavorful filling and juiciness.

Adding to our wonderful dining experience was our waiter, Tony. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. His warm demeanor and excellent service truly enhanced our meal.

The restaurant had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The menu offered a great variety, catering to different tastes, and the food presentation was both appealing and appetizing.

I highly recommend this place for lunch, whether you're looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal with friends and family. The combination of delicious food and outstanding service makes it a spot worth visiting again and again.“

“This is my new go-to dim sum restaurant in the east bay! The dining room is spacious with tall ceilings, natural light, and simply elegant decor. All of my favorite dishes were on the menu and the hot, fresh food arrived quickly. The whole restaurant smelled delicious! I left feeling so lucky to have found this place, and hope to return soon!“

“Great Chinese food with authentic taste. They have a hotel next door which is connected to the restaurant and they are open till midnight. If you want great Chinese kebab, noodles, rice dishes, seafood, and dumplings. This is the place to be! Food is cooked fast and they accept card and cash. Will be coming back for the authentic and delicious Chinese spot next to Berkeley!“

“Very good. I'm not really a fan of Chinese food but my son asked it was his birthday and the place we usually order from was closed. I have to admit it was really good. I ordered chicken chow mein, fried rice, beef broccoli, sweet sour pork, sesame chicken, and gyoza. Everything was delicious hot fresh flavorful and quick. Keep n mind this was the 4th of July, they were open and the guy who took my order was really nice and attentive. This will be my new spot“

“This is my most favorite restaurant. Not only delicious, but also healthy! No deep frying, no greesy dishes, most dishes are steamed, stewed or boiling.
My favorite buns are:
Shepherd Purse with Pork buns
Special Osmanthus fragrance Red Bean Bun
My favorite wonton:
Korean cabbage pork wonton soup
My favourite specialties:
Preserved Egg Shrimp Sausage
Marinated Beef Shank
House Soecial Smoked Chicken Leg

The restaurant staff are super friendly, they make me feel at home.“

“I lived in Berkeley in the 80’s & early 90’s. To this day, I miss their veggie pot stickers & Kung Pao Chicken. I love the Long Life Vegi House 💚💚💚“

“Been going here since early high school and they still hit! Fresh and great portion sizes! This I got a 3 item plate and was able to split it for me, my mom and nephew! Plus a medium order of the fried battered fish!! Very good chowmein and rice too! All the ladies are nice!“

“Amazing food with outstanding service!!“

“My goto for late night (9am-11:45pm 7 days a week). Always good selection and too much food for me (doggy bags to go a must) in one setting. Also, holidays when everyone else is closed.

Vegetarian options: Always ask the waiter. They know best.

Dietary restrictions: L

Parking: Has a 17 or 18 stall Tesla Superchargers just off the I80 Central Street off-ramp in Richmond/Albany area. During the day, the parking lot gets very crowded, but mornings and evenings are fine.

Kid-friendliness: Ok, but children needs supervision.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ok. Wheelchair ramps outside with handicapped parking in-front. Several times, full with handicapped customers inside.“

“Came here for an impromptu dinner with my boyfriend!

Good:
- Super nice staff and they checked in us a ton despite this place being fairly casual
- Loved the Himalayan burrito - the paratha wrap and the paneer inside was so delicious
- The noodle soup was pretty good too - sweet and savory
- Portion sizes were great - super full at the end of it

Bad:
- The wait time was a bit long for our two entrees
- A bit more casual and self-service

Overall this was a good find after a long day of walking around and was the perfect thing to get us energized for a long night.“

“SO GOOD, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, Good pricing, Great flavor for everything.“

“Uncle Chungs is the best. My family has been coming here since before I was born. Princess chicken and honey walnut prawns are a must. And if you like crispy noodles try your chow mein Hong Kong style.

Uncle Chungs is family owned and a staple if you are anywhere close.“

“I've been coming to Uncle Wong's for 3+ years after taking a job in Oakland. Being born and raised in San Francisco, I've had great Chinese food. Uncle Wong's is the best! May the owner is so attentive and sweet. Turn off your phone and get to Uncle Wong's right now! Note:Take Out only for now.“

“Don’t have my photos for my food because it’s obviously gone but been coming to this place since I was a kid now in my 30s and the food is still the same. Lots of flavor. Huge quantity heavy plates good service every time I go this is one of Vallejo’s original mom and pop Chinese staples“

“Delicious and explosive flavor vegan hot pot. We got the spicy Sichuan Spicy and Mushroom broths. For the veggies, we bought Fried Beancurd Rolls, Fried Tofu Pods, Pumpkin, Broccoli, Bamboo Shoots. For noodles we had Udon and House Ramen which were both quite tasty. They have a self service sauce bar as well where you get whatever add ins you may need for your broth or extras.

The atmosphere was definitely busy as there were lots of guests but everyone seemed to be getting their food quickly.

Pricing is a bit more on the higher side so be expecting that, but it's definitely worth it!

My top recommendation would be the Sichuan Spicy broth, it is soooo good.“
