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.“

“Amazing noodles! I ordered the special noodle with extra spicy red soup, and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy—not just heat, but real depth. The noodles were chewy and cooked just right, and the portions were very generous. Super satisfying and authentic. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommend for spicy food lovers!“

“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!“

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

“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 had dinner here tonight. I ordered pea shoots and spicy fish fillets.
The pea shoots were fresh and full of garlic flavor. They are my favorite vegetable—healthy and delicious.
The spicy fish was really tasty. It’s the best I’ve had in the past one or two years.
The restaurant provided tea and side dishes. The environment is comfortable, and the service was nice and thoughtful.
Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“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 🥩“

“I was so happy to have this restaurant open up a location in Berkeley. I've been to the original in Bellevue Seattle as well as their other locations in Seattle and here in the Bay Area since I enjoy their food so much. However, I think the Berkeley restaurant needs to work on the consistency of their dishes as compared to their other locations. I ordered the Mala Spicy Noodles last night and it was half lettuce instead of noodles with lettuce garnish. Fortunately, I asked and they graciously re-fired another order for me with less lettuce but when it arrived, they had the lettuce correct but now it also had less mala spice. I'll check again in a few weeks and will gladly change this review to a 5 star rating if they have the consistency fixed.“

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

“This is a Chinese fast food takeout only. You can order from the menu or get ready made food from the steam table. They have different individual or family specials. I got the green beans chicken and eggplant tofu with steamed rice. The food was delicious and the portions are huge. The price is reasonable for what you get. The atmosphere and decor are substandard and basic but that is the type of place it is.“

“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 their food I typically order to go I've never eaten inside the restaurant but it seems cool and quaint not too loud. Our favorite is the salt and pepper chicken wings and we love the beef chow fun I recently tried the dried fried green beans which were delicious.“

“Delicious dishes and excellent“

“We’ve been coming to Little Hong Kong for as long as we can remember and our family even longer. This is our go to Chinese spot in the Berkeley area and for good reason, it is fantastic food for a very good price. We frequently order for takeout but there is a dine in option in a spacious inside room. Parking is pretty quick and accessible to find for pickup as well and the food was ready much quicker than we expected. We ordered a bunch of food from stuffed tofu to salt and pepper spare ribs, pork fried rice, chicken and green beans, beef chow fun, and so on…

The food is flat out great. Not a single dish was average, all were far above it. The standouts to us were the beef chow fun, just popping with flavor and texture with a very nice sauce layering the noodles bringing it together; and the Singaporean noodle, unreal with bold flavors and the nice chew of the very fine noodles. Again, the food is so good but the price really brings the value to a point where it feels like a must go to recommendation. Dining in is also a great experience with friendly and knowledgeable waiters. Absolutely a great spot for family dinners and with Chinese New Year around the corner it’s a great option for anyone looking for a spot to spend it!“

“Self-serve. No hassle. Great food at awesome price. Definitely will try their dim sum dishes next time at an earlier time. They actually use ceramic/actual bowls and dishes and not disposable/single-user like many other places of similar food.
Would love to see maybe next time they will have their own home made chili oil!

Update: visited two more times after initial review a month ago. Seems like the secret is out so it's getting crowded here. If you arrive after 1:30ish they only offer to-go because they close at 2 and it takes 20 minutes to freshly cook the food.

This place is run by a small team with only one person at the counter who is also responsible for 26 other tasks so please be patient and understanding. They probably don't mind losing business from potential customers who are in a hurry or turning away due to long and slow line; this place is probably not for you and try again next time when you are not in a hurry.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“My boyfriend and I had a great time at this dumpling restaurant. We ordered a few dishes to share family-style, and everything was amazing. The fried xiao long bao was delicious and crispy, and the pork face was rich and perfectly cooked—the seasoning was very authentic- like what you would get in China.

The staff were very homey and kind as well. A good spot for anyone who loves authentic dumplings!“

“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.“

“My dad was craving shrimp fried rice so I was searching in a place in Vallejo for take out and thought I’d try 88 baobao’s. I called in and it was easy to place an order. I ordered shrimp fried rice, sauteed green beans, popcorn chicken, and a side of cucumbers. My order was ready in 10-15 mins for pick up. Service was quick. This was my first time ordering from this location, I didn’t even order any baos sio mai or dumplings but I tried them at other locations. They have indoor seating and the food has huge portions to serve lots of people and last for multiple meals. Located in the Gateway Plaza across from Vallejo Costco, so there’s plenty of parking. Located next to Ulta and quickly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Muy deliciosa la comida la recomiendo“

“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'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.“

“Small Place but the FRIED RICE AND LO MEIN I just ordered was Big Time AWESOME 👍 plus I ordered walking in an hour before close and I was out in ten minutes 👍👌I've been looking for something less expensive and these 2 entrees cost me a nice $33 and the portions are generous. 🔥👌“

“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“

“Great food and reall6 great service“

“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? ✌?“

“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 place to get Chinese food. I’ve tried a lot of spots in Richmond and this place is by far my favorite. The food is freshly made and you can taste the quality of their ingredients. My go to is beef and broccoli with fried rice. I’m from the East Coast and Chinese food out there tastes way different than over here (and better in my opinion). Frannie’s is the closest I’ve gotten to back home <3 So good. My partner loves their Mongolian beef. The staff is friendly and it’s not a long wait. I HIGHLY recommend you try them out!“

“Great food and we will definitely visit again“

“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“

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

“Best Chinese Food in Vallejo and surrounding area!!!! Food is always made to order very quickly using only the freshest meat and vegetables and sauces prepared daily. The portions are generous, reasonably priced and flavors are on point no matter what you order.Some of my favorite entrees are honey walnut prawns, salt and pepper pork chops, sweet and sour pork, broccoli or Mongolian beef and ALL of the chicken dishes… lemon, Kung Pao, string bean, or sesame chicken! They are all the absolutely delicious!!!The fried rice and chow mein are always a staple when we order and the beef chow fun is amazing!!! They have a number of soups to choose from as well, my favorite being the war won ton! Delicious!My favorite appetizers are the crab puffs, dumplings and the chicken wings with their homemade sweet and sour sauce! It’s out of this world!!!If you haven’t eaten at the China Barn, you are missing out and must try it!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian dishes or they can make anything to order

Parking: Street parking as well as parking lot behind restaurant/building“

“Fast and convenient restaurant with a simple menu. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. I usually always get the salt and pepper fish. Parking is limited in front of the store so best to park up hill near the other stores. Take out only.“

“I want to let you know that maricela that works in the front around 9 pm on Saturday is an amazing person and that she deserves to be employee of month she was kind and nice and hard worker always smiling pls let her know that I hope god blesses her and to have an amazing day.thank you“

“Not bad for a quick Chinese food fix reasonably priced. Location has ample parking and has a loyal frequent diners.

Hot and Sour Soup is a good starter, but I prefer a bit more heat. The fried appetizer sampler is something I would skip. The BBQ Pork Chow Fun was full of flavor and the Salty Fish Fried Rice was fragrant. The clay pot was a miss. I was hoping they would actually cook the food in the clay pot for that taste, but it appears the food was cooked and served in a clay pot. The Iron Platter was just what you expect, burning hot served.“

“The luncheon meal served to me was catered and was delivered promptly to our dinning location with a group of twenty people celebrating two birthdays. The order was still hot from its preparation and arrived with all necessary flatware along with a celebratory and festive attitude. The catered food was roasted chicken thigh and leg served with tender cabbage and perfectly steamed fluffy white rice. The chicken had an appealing medium roasted brown color prepared with what I could taste as soy based seasoning, slight sweetness and other enhancing aromatic flavors. The chicken was roasted to an ideal doneness and was tender and juicy, flavorful, easy to cut and of a sizable quantity. The gracious lady appearing with the catered order was courteous and kind, prompt as I mentioned and made sure the delivery was as exactly requested. The entire experience was positive, the roasted chicken was delicious, it all went smoothly and I would definitely suggested Camille Restaurant to others.“
