50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Hercules

“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!“

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

“Here's my one millionth review. I freaking love this place. I can cook my own dan dan noodles, but I can't get my soup buns as delicious as theirs. So I come here and get both. With a side of their chili garlic sauce and szechuan sauce. It's my go to meal. I've been trying new restuarants lately but I always regret not going here for my tried and true good meal. Don't want Dan Dan....get their smoked bamboo and cured pork belly noodle dish. These folks flavors are the best. Eat inside for a chill experience and watch the fantastic cooking on the TV screen, or take to go and get impeccable service everytime. I've wasted some money this week on subpar food, but four hours later, I'm still thinking about these hands down, no contest, delicious dishes. And EVERYTIME someone is visiting me, I get them an order of the soup buns (best once you've let them cool down) and I've never had a single person disappointed by the delicious and often hot experience. THE BEST. The new dumpling place around the corner has a good chengdu noodle if you want vegetarian and they also have soup buns, but Special Noodle is still my fave.“

“Most slept on noodle soups in Berkeley, not sure how this spot hasn’t blown up.. and arguably better than most of the other hype noodle spots around town. But hey, there’s a reason this spot has been around for decades.

I recommend the beef noodle soup, medium spice ⛽️“

“The name is 3 star ⭐️ but it’s definitely a 5 star especially when it comes to the food , very fresh made with care. Service and staff are nice and attentive, and the restaurant is very clean. To start I have the hot tea ,then garlic chicken, I prefer it crispy crunchy, or fried hard, chicken and shrimp noodle, and my fav green spicy green bean.“

“Great new place for special dimsum fare! They even offer pork xialongbao! Highly recommended ?. Besides the dimsum, they even have different noodle dishes as well as fire fried rice. You guys gotta try their grilled squid. We've already been here twice, and the food is always fire ?. We'll be coming back again to try the rest of their menu.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food✓ Flavor✓ Portion Size✓ Reasonable Price✓ Worth Every Penny✓ Very Friendly✓ Very Polite✓ Very Patient in explaining the Menu✓
My family and I new fav go-to spot ✓
Will order from here, from now on ✓ \⁠(⁠๑⁠╹⁠◡⁠╹⁠๑⁠)⁠ﾉ“

“The food was great. I ordered the szechwan shrimp. It was so tasty and really filling. Portions were enough at good prices. Great atmosphere and nice hometown setting. The service was non-intrusive but they always knew when I would need something like a water refill. I will definitely come back when in the area.

Parking: One hour limit parking in back of restaurant.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food in a clean, comfortable, casual setting.y go to place for comfort food close to home. I recommend it to my friends and colleagues.love the Dragon Beef 🥩“

“That’s the best looking place, but the price was right and the food was good not great but good. The price was very very good for the portions which really gives it a five star rating. If the price would’ve been a little high I would’ve given them like a 3 1/2.
But it was generally clean spacious and and I recommend the lunch specials which you’re very generous“

“China Village is a must-try!
If you’re craving real Chinese food, this place has it all. Their Spicy Boiled Fish blew my mind — spicy, flavorful, and addictive. The Sesame Chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork were both crispy and packed with flavor.

I’m also obsessed with their shrimp dumplings and handmade noodles — fresh, tasty, and super satisfying.

And guess what? They have dim sum all day! That’s a game-changer.
Super clean, super tasty, and super friendly staff. Go check it out!“

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

“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 love this little hole in the wall! Everything I've ever gotten here is great, and it's one of the only places I've found that my mom approves of their tofu pudding / tofu "flower".

I can't believe some folks are giving low ratings for rising prices... It's the bay area! Everything's expensive and I'm sure his rent has been going up too. Have some empathy for independent shops! No, I've never thought this place was cheap but boba/bubble waffles aren't cheap anywhere else, especially at the large chain boba places.

Go here. The owner(s) are awesome (I think it's run by a couple - it's the same guy everytime I go) and the food and drinks are great. And the vibe is always right. Last time I went they were playing Cantonese Bon Jovi. Support local businesses!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“The food here is pretty tasty, and the soup lives up to my expectations, boasting an authentic Chinese Yunnan style that I absolutely love. I opted for takeout, and while the flavors were on point, my only concern was the slightly high prices for a noodle restaurant. However, considering the delightful taste and the unique Yunnan-style flair, it's definitely worth a try.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“A Taste of Peru That Feels Like Home 🇵🇪✨ From the very first bite, this restaurant transports you straight to the heart of Peru. The flavors are bold, authentic, and crafted with love by Peruvian hands that know how to honor tradition. Start with the ceviche, fresh, zesty, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. Then the iconic lomo saltado, where juicy strips of beef are sautéed to perfection with onions, tomatoes, and that unmistakable touch of soy sauce and spices. The arroz chaufa is a savory fusion masterpiece, while the tallarines saltado brings a mouthwatering twist on stir-fry pasta that’s packed with flavor. Don’t miss the anticuchos, tender skewers of marinated beef heart that melt in your mouth, or the golden picarones, a sweet finish made with squash and sweet potato, drizzled in chancaca syrup. Pure Peruvian joy! To wash it all down, sip on a cold Inka Kola, a tangy glass of maracuyá (passion fruit) juice, or the deep, spiced flavors of chicha morada. Each drink is a memory, a story, a sip of home. And for a truly special treat, they’re bringing out the Pachamanca (tres sabores) this Father’s Day, a traditional Andean feast slow-cooked underground with marinated meats, herbs, and native potatoes. It’s more than a meal, it’s a celebration of culture, family, and roots. You will also appreciate the warm, attentive service from the owners and chefs. Whether you’re Peruvian or just discovering its rich culinary heritage, this place will have you coming back for more. ¡Buen provecho!“

“good speedy service, large menu to choose from and delicious food“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food with outstanding service!!“

“Great food and reall6 great service“

“It’s a hole in wall chinese spot in da hood. ITS MY GO TO ALWAYs! My favorite Chow mien, chicken wings, pot stickers, fried fish(not served often), BEEF WITH BROCCOLI ?! Listen, these places are best when the food is just made but worth it. I always get enough for 3 days. The prices are great! The customer service is well…you get over it. It’s like in the city in China town.“

“My favorite Chinese food in this area ?? me and my family love to get the Hunan Prawns and Veggie Chow Mein. I personally prefer the beef chow mein with extra veggies to have it more balanced and pay a bit extra ? but everything I've had from here is soooo good definitely recommend“

“I ordered the salt and pepper prawns. The food was hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. The prawns were served with sautéed onions, jalapeno peppers, garlic and chili peppers.The customer service was warm and inviting from the moment I walked in the door. I was given plenty of sauce but cocktail was not an option. Good thing I keep a bottle in the car! My food experience was like having a date with my taste buds for the first time.“

“I’ve been going here since 2007. It’s my go to Chinese fast food. It’s cheap and they are generous with the servings. Depending on my cravings, I can finish 2/3 of the plate but most of the time I can eat the left overs at later meal.I ALWAYS order their Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs, half fried rice and half soy sauce chow mein, with garlic chili oil. The taste was the same since 2007, except, I have not seen green chili on it anymore.When my husband wants some, I’ll order: fried shrimp, beef chow fun, beef broccoli, orange chicken, yunan chicken, and/or veggie mix. It really varies depending on what he wanted that they have when we arrive.To summarize, I will always go back to this place. I travel across California for work. Trying different Chinese fast food in other cities, other than Panda Express, this is my number one place that I will always go back to. I said Chinese fast food, yes? ✌?“

“They have great asian food, I’m chinese-american and find it very comforting. I got the mapo tofu this time but I also like their eggplant tofu. The service is great, they are super friendly and even gave me a free tea egg today. You can join their wechat group chat to receive updates on daily specials, etc.“

“Muy deliciosa la comida la recomiendo“

“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.“

“Idk why people have so much hate for this place. Ive ordered from here a few times and every single time im impressed with how much depth and the flavor has for each dish AS WELL as the size portions of the food. I spent approx 100 bucks for 4 people (thats pretty average these days) for dinner and everyone loved what they got. 3/4 of us were able to order 2 entrees and managed to keep it around 25-30 dollars each and then still had enough food for leftovers later. Tsing Tao (love ya, Tsing Tao) is second to this place imo and ive been going to Tsing Tao since I was a kid. Give it a shot.“

“Rickshaw Chinese Restaurant is a take out only There is no option of sitting down. Henceforth it is take out only. That's a plus you won't have to take out a loan to get good healthy food.There are some benches out sde if you can't wait to get home. It is popular with locals and those in the know. Food is displayed to see sells quickly so it always fresh . Never dried out from sitting at a steam table. Some nights a hour before closing at 8pm they maybe sold out of pork fried rice or barbecue pork loin or sweet and sour pork with vegetable The sauce is not too sweet not too sour. It's like Goldilock's porridge at the home of the three bears just right. Portions are big I can barely finish a pork fried rice with a sweet and sour pork entree. $12.50 includes tax.
The Chef takes pride in making good tasting food a simple menu with something for almost everyone. Yes I am a big fan of Chinese style cooking. Sometimes a simple dish made with care is just as good as a fancy complex food at 3 times the price. Highly recommend for the days you are just too tired to cook or just because you want to to enjoy their food. I only like to post positive reviews of well made foods.
This is definitely positively good food enjoy“

“I originally ordered Mountain Mike's pizza next-door but when I got there they said that they never got my order. The place was empty, they were kind of rude and didn't offer to make my order in a hurry or even help me in anyway. I just left and went to panda express who were awesome! The food was also killer!“

“I wish I could give it 5 stars like I would have in the past, at least the food anyways but the male cousin and his family always had decent customer service but the female cousin was rude, impatient & our order was incorrect by 2 items. It just wasn't the same sadly, I've been going there for over 20 years off & on even as I moved out of state it was always a must stop, I may not visit anymore unless I see the former familiar face. Food wasn't bad though.“

“Mongolian Beef ain’t that great alright if anything mostly onions beef is not soft. No crispy white noodles not like others I’ve had from Marin County. Thanks though I was craving some but it was worth a shot. I used to really like getting their Singapore noodles with pork. Chinese in Vallejo is probably better at the fast food style options.“

“If you want to get a mound of yummy food for a reasonable price, then I suggest you check this place out! They have trays of food you can choose from and the food is freshly made. You can choose a la carte off their menu or from 1 , 2 or 3 item combo's. It's the El Cerrito Plaza so there is often plenty of parking and the prices are very reasonable for combos which I highly recommend!!“

“Great food and we will definitely visit again“

“I was to here with my sister to have lunch. The food was absolutely delicious ,my sister had the sweet and sour chicken,and I had the lemon chicken. It was so delicious, and fresh. I recommend this place highly the food great, the atmosphere wonderful, and the server ,great customer service!!. Will definitely be back!!!.“

“The food was amazing and the service was excellent. I came here with party of 10 and we were accommodated within 15 minutes. The staff was very friendly and welcoming“

“I recently discovered this place back a few months. I saw a line stemming from outside while delivering something at the nearby UPS. Staff were quick and clearly experienced. They wasted no time and got your order quickly. Got the fried wings and sesame chicken with noodles and fried rice. I was pleasantly surprised at the price. The food was quality and the portions were more than enough. I'm still going there to this day and I can't get enough. The fact that they rival other Chinese places in terms of food quality, food price, and food portions is a clear indication that owner and staff are experts in the business acumen.“

“great food and service! the Szechuan chicken is my go to here“
