5 Best Chinese Restaurants near Foster City

“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.“

“May 2026:
I used to work in Foster City twenty years ago. Used to come here often for lunch.

Came here on a Sunday and had a very good lunch. Tomato beef chow mein was excellent. Singaporean noodles were also delicious 😋.

Would definitely come back again.“

“Some of the best hot pot I have had and the customer service was great“

“Dumpling Factory report: 10/10 in terms of food!

Dumpling we're all handmade and wrappers were too. These are Beijing style dumplings which means they're overstuffed with tons of filling. It tastes as good as the ones my mom makes, which is super high praise. Their spicy dadan noodles were also homemade and super springy with an awesome sauce. Their pork belly sandwiches and scallion pancakes were also top.

Basically, everything tastes exactly as they would if I bought them in Beijing and it's legit good. Also portions for noodles were HUGE and enough to split between two people

Would highly recommend it for the food! Service was ok and there's not much space to eat so I advise doing takeout and walking across the street to eat by the beach.“
