50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Irwindale

“I’ve visited this restaurant eight times in the past two months and have tried both their lunch and dinner menus. I’ve also brought friends along to sample different dishes. The food quality is consistently five-star. Most menu items require a two-day advance notice for preparation, but it’s absolutely worth it. I no longer need to travel all the way to Monterey Park for great Chinese food.

The restaurant is closed on Sundays. It’s a small, family-run establishment, so I recommend making a reservation in advance to ensure you get a table.

I attach good number of photos of the actual dishes. Very impressive in presentation and quality. Price is a bit on the high side but worth it!

清蒸盤龍鱈魚, 東坡肉, 酥炸生蠔, 金湯津菜卷, 通心菜, 荷葉飯, 拔絲地瓜, 疍白杏仁茶...“

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. If you're in Hacienda Heights, you have to check this place out; you won't regret it!“

“Was pretty good, lots of small bites! I’m used to more kbbq style, but the experience and the aesthetic made the dinner here really fun. You order from and iPad, and the selection options are bit overwhelming as a first timer. Got a variety of meats (beef and pork - both good) the cucumber was fresh and perfect to cut through the heaviness, and the arctic surf clams were my favorite!“

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour“

“Great selection! Very clean, tasted really good. So happy they are close by!“

“Had a great time having a late lunch here today. It was nice to not have a long wait! Didn’t know that they have an all you can eat option right now which is very reasonably priced considering how much comes with it.
We will definitely be back to this location!“

“Amazing refresh after it was remodeled. Loved the addition of sushi to the menu. The service was excellent and the food equally so. We had a little bit of everything. Definitely do the shrimp and lobster wontons, the hamachi tacos, and the panda beef. YUM! Additional parking in the lot was easy and convenient-validation for 3 hours was a bonus.“

“This is the place to go if you love hot pot. Good quality food, tasty, and flavorful broth. Good service and friendly staff.“

“Highly recommend the beef noodle soup! The meat was extremely tender and the broth was light and flavorful. The fried dumplings with beef and vermicelli were also equally delicious. Great that they provide complimentary egg drop soup. Excited to come back and try different dumpling flavors!“

“I've tried Hainan chicken all my life, and this one is special. Portions are very generous. The chicken is very tender and cooked to perfection. The rice is incredible even it's just rice. But they Cook the rice in a way that's not very greasy like other places. Kind of dry and tasty.
We also tried the potato noodles since it's highly rated with other reviews. We ended up taking to go since it was just too much food for 2 is us.
Be careful online shows Xin Wang restaurant but the actual sign in front says Ana Wang Hainan Chicken. But it is the same. Don't know why.
Not too many pictures here to take since they're all over online already. Anyhow, great food, simple dining experience. Nothing fancy. You definitely should give it a try.“

“First time here. They have ramen and hotpot too and everything was really good! Servers were friendly“

“I like this place. $13.99 per pound of food. You get to choose all your toppings. I recommend going heavy on the meats and light on the carbohydrates. That’ll be the best bang for the buck. They also have frog meat if that’s your lingo. I tried their beef bone broth and I like it a lot. I’d come back again.

**UPDATE**
Just a heads up. If you can’t eat mild this place won’t be for you. They can’t alter the broth. The only option is the tomato broth which is no spicy.“

“Very good food. Clean and fast service.“

Every single menus are so delicious.
Came here to more than 30 times so far and never let down once.
Make sure you go party of 4 or more so you can order many different menus to enjoy.
Lastly, manager Steve has the best customer service!!“

“Mixed bag. The fried pork (탕수육) was really good and came in a generous portion. But the jjajangmyeon (짜장면)—despite being pricier than other places—was no better, maybe even worse.

I would recommend this place for family event or meeting after golf or something“

“I Couldn't find a solid review to help me order but its so close to home i took a chance. Saw a Bulgogi beef on the menu which is a familiar Dish to me so i quickly ordered That and decided to sit down. A couple of minutes later, and i have a Nice Healthy bowl of Rice Topped with a heap of BEEF! It was delicious! Thank YOU!“

“I recently had a gathering with my friends, and we decided to try out a new local Chinese restaurant. The biggest impression this place left on us was how incredibly budget-friendly it is!

What truly sets this restaurant apart is their $9.99 Special Deal, which is available all day long, from Monday through Sunday! The special pricing runs for the entire week. This spot is worth checking out!“

“Despite the very long wait, me and my family thought the food was very good and I loved how some meals came with sets and desserts. The atmosphere looked fairly new and nice and despite the lack of service, I thought the workers were pretty nice. We should come back one day.“

“This is the first time I was able to try authentic northeastern Chinese breakfast in California, and it really satisfied my cravings. The food is just like it is back in China and very delicious. The menu is short and simple which is my favorite since that means they specialize in specific foods. Must try for some authentic and delicious Chinese breakfast! The staff are very friendly too.“

“Braised beef noodle soup with all the veg. Normal noodles and spicy. Imma gonna order that next visit. I ordered the above except medium spice level. See below.“

“The place was empty so we were initially a bit doubtful. I’m glad we made the decision to stay because ALL of their dishes were delicious, not just their Hainan chicken but also their beef, wings, and even their stir fried veggies tastes like it came from much bigger restaurants.“

“Soft opening right now.free drink and discount.“

“Awesome place , didn't expect it to be sooooo good. waiter/cashier was really cool and gave us ideas. cold apps real good tostart with“

“The chinese pop music playing in here is pretty loud. The drinks are very large in size so it's definitely worth the purchase at $5. The noodles are pretty pricey but for the flavor and noodle quality i would say it's worth it. The noodles are perfectly chewy and absorb the broth flavors well“

“We came here for dinner and really liked it! The 咸豆花 was amazing, smooth, warm, and tasted super authentic. The fried dough sticks were crispy and fragrant, perfect for dipping. The place feels like a cozy local spot, nothing fancy but just right.“

“Best pinoy fast food. Hot Taho!“

“Employees are nice and food is decent. Huge portions and you can order a combination of white rice, fried rice, or chow mein. I personally like the mushroom chicken the most.

Don't come here right at open like I did. They only had about 1/3 of the dishes ready. I recommend coming in half an hour after opening.“

“Good food, casual, great location and convenient.“

“Simple Taiwanese lunch bentos, generally $11 each (since March 2024 I believe), cash only. Check the Facebook page for the daily menu. There is one option each for chicken, pork, or fish. Additionally, I believe you can call in ahead of time to order a fried pork chop (no walk-in orders for that). Each bento comes with a small soup. Flavors are on the lighter side; if you prefer stronger flavors, you might not enjoy these bentos.“

“I'm giving them 5 stars for the quality and taste of their signature offering --- lobster! Ours was huge and expensive, but we allowed ourselves this luxury to satisfy our craving. Definitely worth our visit after a morning spent walking around Ikea. A friend of ours told us about this place a while back but we waited a long time to try them out. It was worth it. We had the lobster prepared their house special way! It came out of the kitchen quickly, perfectly seasoned and stir-fried. We ate it with some ong choy sauteed in garlic and some rice. The lobster proved too much for 2 people, but we didn't mind taking the rest home. Next time, we will definitely try their other dishes.“

“We ordered a ton of food, and every dish was seriously yummy! The staff hooked us up with some great recommendations too—the stir-fried beef was super tender, and the chow mein was packed with goodies. Loved it all! The mung bean soup? Perfect for beating the summer！ prices is friendly…“

“This place feels really warm and welcoming — you can tell the owner put a lot of heart into it. They start you off with milk tea and some small side dishes, the restaurant is very clean, and the service is super friendly. Definitely a 100/100 recommendation!“

“They make authentic Guilin rice noodles here. So you order the noodles through the QR code and you can get the condiments to add to the bowl. We had the Golden Broth Beef Brisket Rice Noodles and Premium Signature Noodles. Added a fried egg and Secret Recipe Braised Tofu. Quick service and would return.“

“Love their tofu skin dish.
Love their noddles, so original
The crispy pork is out of this world
Unlimited source and commentary are wonderfully satisfying
Can't speak more, try it yourself. I guarantee you have never tasted crispy pork like what they have. GUARANTEE!!!!“

“It is a good Chinese cuisine restaurant. I have visited this restaurant, once, in the middle of 2024, after leaving my work. So, after reading good reviews, about this establishment, I thought to have my dinner. Oh boy, I was not disappointed. The meals, that I have ordered, were delicious. Furthermore, they were well made. At the same time, the waitress, who attended my table, was helpful, and attentive. I forgot to add that there was ample of space, to sit down, and enjoy a meal. Still, I cannot vouch, about the ability of free space, on Fridays, or during weekend. Nevertheless, the tables, themselves, were neat. Of course, I cannot forget to mention, the prices were not on the expensive side. So, if anyone is in City of Industry or La Puente area, I would recommend to stop by this establishment. The deliciousness of meals is worth the visit.“

“Best place around my family has been going there for about 20 years“

“I order barbecue pork fried noodles, it was so tasty, definitely I will come back .thank you for the good food and the service .“

“Great food and new location!“

“Nestled in the heart of Arcadia, Phoenix Restaurant offers a delightful culinary journey through Southern Chinese desserts and Cantonese comfort food. As a frequent patron, it has become my go-to destination whenever cravings for authentic Cantonese flavors arise.One of the highlights of Phoenix Restaurant is their traditional approach to crafting dishes, exemplified by their exquisite red bean paste soup. Cooked using the time-honored method with dried orange peel and lotus seeds, this dessert embodies nostalgia with every spoonful. The texture of the red bean paste is impeccably balanced, meeting my discerning taste preferences perfectly.For those seeking a savory indulgence, the Yandchow fried rice stands out as a quintessential comfort dish. Bursting with flavor and expertly prepared, each bite offers a comforting embrace reminiscent of home-cooked meals. Whether enjoyed as a standalone delight or paired with other Cantonese classics, the Yandchow fried rice never fails to impress.Beyond the culinary delights, Phoenix Restaurant prides itself on exceptional service that adds to the overall dining experience. Attentive staff members ensure that every visit is met with warmth and efficiency, enhancing the ambiance of the restaurant.Moreover, the reasonable prices at Phoenix Restaurant make it an accessible option for both casual dining and special occasions. With quality cuisine at affordable rates, patrons can indulge in authentic Cantonese fare without breaking the bank.“

“I ordered on grubhub to try out a new place, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The food is fresh, tasty and they gave a very generous portion of food. I had the black pepper chicken, mushroom chicken and pineapple chicken (sat & sun only). Will definitely order again.“

“Pickled Fish: The fish is so tender that it melts in your mouth, the sauerkraut is crispy and appetizing, the soup base is sour and spicy but not choking at all, every bite is full of sincerity! I especially like the light numbing aroma, paired with hot rice, it is simply a healing tool in winter!

Guobao Pork: Under the golden and crispy skin is tender and juicy tenderloin. The ratio of sweet and sour sauce is just right. You can hear the "click" when you bite into it! The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is definitely a textbook interpretation of Northeastern cuisine!

Home-style tofu: The tofu is fried until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It absorbs the fragrance of the sauce and is smooth and tender in the mouth without losing the bean flavor. Paired with the crispness of fungus and green pepper, it is full of texture, simple but full of homey taste, and it is a perfect meal!

The three dishes in this restaurant each have their own merits. The taste is authentic and the portions are substantial. You will become a fan after eating it once! Highly recommended to friends who love food~“

“Wooo! Love me some good Panda Express! I’ve visited this location several times and love their food! With the dodgers wins! I was able to score some cheap meals! My favorite is really the eggplant and tofu and of course the orange chicken.“

“This place is super clean! Not that feeling of greasy oil over coating the entire restaurant. The tables were very very clean! And hand sanitizer everywhere!

We've been here many times over past two years most excellent service!

We ordered

MSG warning. I did not feel it then but about half hour after I started to get an MSG headache. I do have sensitivity—I should have asked but forgot bc many places I have eaten recently do not use.

Chef special Walnut chicken. Superb 5/5
The batter coating was light. No oily greasy feeling or oil absorbed into batter. The honey mayo dressing was also perfect light

Mongolian beef. My husband gave it 4, me 3 stars. Because it was not really Mongolian beef. The correct name would be black pepper beef. It did not taste like Mongolian beef

Kung pao chicken 3 stars was not as good. It was passable. The chicken seemed like it was lightly coated in cornstarch then fried. But it was fried a bit too long bc chi he was very dry. Also the sauce was not great. Tasted also a bit in the burnt side. I like smoky but burnt not great. See pic. I like tre chicken more lightly cooked so it’s still a bit soft and juicy. Sauce also too burnt

We had ordered sesame chicken on a bed orange slices do taste s little like orange chicken. Delicious 4.5/5 stars

Rice better this time (our 4th)“
