50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Larkspur

“I've been a loyal customer for decades (used to be CJs back in the day) and love this place dearly. The pink tablecloths, the hot tea, the charming back patio, the well priced lunch plate options, the classic Chinese American dishes, the jelly belly jellybean jar, the fish tank, everything is perfect. The mushu pork, DJ chow mein, mongolian beef, and string beans are some of my favorite dishes.“

“Wonderful restaurant, Absolutely outstanding experience! This Chinese roast duck restaurant delivers perfection in every detail. The duck is incredibly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and carved with impressive skill right at the table. The flavors are rich but never greasy, and the accompanying pancakes, scallions, and sauces are all beautifully balanced.

The service is warm, attentive, and efficient, and the staff make you feel truly welcome. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable—perfect for both family gatherings and special occasions.“

“Superb! The cooking show is very nice!“

Expected food to come out consistently together for group so that everyone could select their entrees and also eat the chow mein and/or rice with the meats and veggie options we selected. Would recommend the Mongolian beef and vegetable egg rolls!“

“California-style Cantonese cuisine! I really like the decoration style here, which always makes me feel better when dining here. The golden lotus chandelier and the gold and silver wire lamp are definitely the best decoration! 👍The pastries here are also worth mentioning! Pineapple buns, wife cakes, black sesame banana cakes with miso sugar!“

“The most authentic Hunan cuisine I've ever eaten!“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“How nice to finally have an excellent Chinese restaurant in San Rafael. Nicely decorated, friendly and efficient service and delicious cuisine! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Extremely fresh chinese food - top dishes for me are the Special Steak which is perfectly tender, the Tommy Fried rice, and the Steamed dim-sum. Always good - and quick.

Update:- years later, still a big fan. Super Chinese food that’s always consistently top notch and honestly as good as anything I’ve had in expensive Hong Kong or Beijing renowned eateries. Such a Sausalito gem and glad it’s a stones throw away!“

“In Chinatown classic! I had the pure Rice noodle combination. My husband had the curry chicken and we split the eggrolls. They give you complementary hot tea and they are awesome people not to mention they were playing the best 80s music!!“

“Great Food and Service will always come back when visiting San Francisco“

“Very good food“

“This is honestly the best place to satisfy my craving for great Chinese food. I have visited plenty of times and have never grown tired of eating there. The broccoli chicken with steamed rice is simply the best, and the ingredients are always cooked to perfection. I clean my plate every time, down to the last grain of rice, as the portion sizes are just right. The price can't be beat. Plus the owners are super friendly. I will happily visit again!“

“All I can say is wow. The restaurant place is a bit small but their food is amazing. We were so full leaving. I really liked the atmosphere. The host was very accommodating. My mom loves dimsung and everything was closed but we found this place that had a little bit of everything on the menu. The milk tea was incrediblely delicious.“

“loved it! duck was delicious!“

“Great Service! Delicious Dumplings! the Generals Shrimp! We Lived It!!!“

“Found this Chinese small restaurant on a side street of China town no tourists anywhere, the wonton beef noodles soup was ok. The beef curry rice was excellent! Very reasonably priced with free tea. Wish I lived across from this restaurant.“

“Yummy spring rolls, veggie fried rice & sesame chicken. I tried their mustard sauce & it was heavy on horseradish which I love.“

“I worked here before and when it first opened!!! Such happy memories and so happy to see it’s still thriving!“

“My husband and I came across your Chestnut location this past weekend! What a wonderful find. The VERY nice gentleman that served us, the best dumplings - I highly recommend the Spicy Sichuan Wontons in Red Oil. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“I went there to see if I could eat there, but it was a take-out restaurant.
However, I ordered delicious food and enjoyed it when I got home.
I was grateful that the friendly staff told me about nearby parks where I could eat and explained things well.
There is also a parking lot, so park comfortably.“

“Best dim sum in SF. Shark fin dumpling and deep fried pork puff are the best items. Low prices. No seating. To go only. Closes early, at 4 pm.“

“Every time we plan to go to San Francisco for a trip, my dad gets so excited about having a meal at this place because of some really good Chinese food in San Francisco. This is my dad’s cherry on top place in the city.“

“Delicious and served with a smile. Great food“

“just had a 1 person dinner combo and it was spot on what I was looking for. I had the sweet and sour chicken w/ egg fried rice, combo comes w/ 1 egg roll and small potion of soup of the day which today was my favorite soup ever egg flower soup! all for $20 bucks you better believe I'm coming back.“

“5 stars All the food there r very testing especially the pho and the wonton soups are excellent! They r locating in SF downtown. Very yummy and healthy Chinese and Vietnamese food😋😋😋“

“Loved everything there, especially my daughter. Will always come back!“

“This was my first visit to dine in here. I have gotten take away several times and it was always good. Today I went with a colleague we had pot stickers, Won Ton Soup and Shrimp and vegetables. Everything was delicious, the pot stickers were the largest I have ever had and tasted home made. The soup and shrimp dish were both very good. We will be back again. Service was quick, the staff was nice and the place was clean. They brought ice water and hot tea for us to enjoy.

Parking: Plenty of parking“

“The best Chinese take out in the area. Great food, great portions, owner has worked there a long time and always treats her customers well. It is a steam table restaurant, so not a fancy/sit down atmosphere, but the food is consistently delicious and the service is very fast. My personal favorites are the fried rice, sesame chicken, and BBQ pork, however everything I have tried on the menu has been good. I highly recommend them if you are visiting and need a quick bite, and if you are a local who has never been, you are missing out!“

“The spicy chicken wasn't as spicy as I would have liked - even with the additional hot sauce they provided - but then again, that might just be my high tolerance. The chicken itself was juicy and scrumptious and the garlic noodles had a great consistency to them. I didn't try the donuts, but the apple fritters were a great size and I definitely want to try one the next time I'm in the area. Employees were friendly and inviting, which is key for me as a return customer. And the prices are wonderful - currently 8 dollars for three items! While the selection isn't as wide as other Chinese joints (especially in Chinatown), it's great if you're craving Chinese food and want some some quick and cheap takeout.“

“Hidden Jewel!!“

“On a holiday retreat, and after so many big and expensive meals over the Christmas and Chanukkah holidays, we were thrilled to discover Ming's tucked away off the Main Street in Tiburon. Though GPS took us there, it was still somewhat hard to find. But we percevered Tiny and no frills, but bright and colorful. A birthday party was going on in the corner. A husband and wife and their little girl enjoying a feast across from us. Lots of people coming and going for takeout. But our server, took our order and delicious hot plates of food begam to appear. Potstickers, Wonton Soup, and Kung Pao Chicken plus a bowl of rice. It was all wonderful and enough to take home for dinner the next day. Likely, the best meal of our three-night stay. It's the simple things that matter most.“

“Great traditional snacks and baked goods! The staff were incredibly kind—especially the short-haired lady who gently let me know my dress was stained (period mishap) and kindly offered the restroom. So grateful for the warmth and hospitality!“

“Very tasty Kung Pao and Sesame chicken. The lady serving was also very kind and welcoming. Great service! The restaurant could do better with some decorations. I guess it’s true - the best Chinese food is usually served at the less well-looking places!“

“Here I brought the sticky rice buns & bbq beef filled buns they were really nice, the store gets busy and not a lot of room to move around so it’s hard to see what you would really like, service is good but could do with some improvement. But a busy bakery is a good bakery in my opinion. Will definitely visit again & recommend maybe try some more foods“

“Really great clay pots with plenty of delicious crispy rice. The ox tail was also very tasty. The eel clay pot was a little wormy for some of us but still tasty. Again, the star is the crispy rice.

Has gotten somewhat popular so we had to wait quite a while. Not much room for a stroller.“

“A selfish part of me wants to keep this place a secret, but another part wants others to experience it. We ordered the walnut shrimp, pig stomach in XO sauce, and the salted fish & chicken dish. The walnut shrimp was a let down, not because it was bad (it was tasty), but the other two dishes were more savory/tasty in comparison. 3 dishes for $33.99 (+extra for shrimp). Our meal came with tea and a complimentary soup (super tasty and comforting). Altogether $50 with tax/tip.

We paid with CASH. Idk if they accept card, but I’d recommend CASH for places like this. Wells Fargo is across the street, there’s a Chase in the area, and if you’re walking up Grant, there is also a CitiBank.

This place was a vibe. Open till midnight offering Chinese diner food in the outskirts of where Chinatown meets North Beach. You don’t come here for the service. You come here when it’s late, all places are closed, and you just want something comforting and savory to fill your stomach.“

“This place changed my life. Earlier in the day we walked by this restaurant (we had already eaten a full dinner), but the nicest man said he would stay open for us if we wanted to do some shopping before coming back. He was so enthusiastic that we picked up 3 other members from our group and came back just for the owner to convince us to get the “all you can eat” food service for a flat rate charge. Throughout the meal he kept bringing us dishes at a speedy rate. Some of the dishes we didn’t even order just so we could try them (at no additional cost). I don’t know if I have ever had such a great experience at a restaurant in San Francisco. Everyone should come here, even if it’s just for the experience“

“Stopped here for late lunch on way out of San Francisco. The place is small but the food is excellent!! We ordered entrees but they do offer a variety of lunch specials. If you can't eat in order take out, you won't be disappointed. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, Singapore Noodles. Easy to get to off the 101.“

“Excellent Asian food and super friendly. Almost an insider tip! I can only recommend it!“

“While staying in San Francisco for a medical procedure, my husband and I had a craving for Chinese. A quick Google search and we found our way to Sun Kwong. My husband had the Mongolian Beef while I had the Clay Pot. I ordered them to go.. Definitely worth it. Large portions for a good price. Definitely found our new favorite place.“

“The best place. We go there ever time we are in the city“

“This food is good. I wasn’t expecting it to be that good for some reason but I’m impressed. We had the veggie egg rolls (2 1/2), there was a funny spice added in there that wasn’t familiar nor was it necessary. Green onion pancakes (4.5) Long donut (4/5) it was so fresh, hot and crispy. Sweet chili wings (4), got happy when I seen the jalapeños but there was no kick at all, they were like a basic teriyaki. General tso chicken (4) no kick to them like normal general. Beef & broc (4) shrimp fried rice (4.5). The lady in front gets a little flustered and I thought she had an attitude with me but once the food came out, she gave us a free soda each and a free Long Donut. Def would return!“

“This place looks a little dingy, seems like it used to be restaurant, but now they just do takeaway. The dimsum is not premium restaurant stuff, but good hearty home style, presentation not so great, but tastes good. You could get a meal for under $10 here, but "splurge" a little and you'll be really full.“

“Great place for late-night snack! Made fresh!

It was late at night when I was struck with the feeling of hunger... this place was my savior!

I just wanted a snack so I ordered the fried pork puff, $6 for 3 scrumptious puffs! They made them fresh which took about 5 minutes and it was sooo yummy.... perfect amount of crispiness, chewiness, lightly sweet, with a sufficiently salty pork inside...

I am not familiar with chinese food but I can say that this will now be my go-to place for a late night snack!“
