16 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lathrop

“I was craving Chinese after another day driving a big rig, shutting down in town. I saw that this place was just down the road from the company terminal and gave it a shot. I ordered a three entree meal (beef and broccoli, orange and sweet and sour chicken with steamed rice) and found myself only paying not even $18 (tip included). After eating it all, I felt a bit stuffed, yet beyond content. I couldn't be any further impressed and will be sure to stop by again (aside from learning that I should order a bit less for the sake of my stomach's capacity. LOL!!!).“

“We stopped in after driving most of the day, and had a quick, lovely dinner. The four of us were all over the menu - noodle soup, beef and mixed veg combo plate, sesame and orange chicken and rice. All dishes were fresh and delicious and the service was amazing. Highly recommend the noodle soup!“

“This is a very nice location. It’s located just off the interstate. Staff is friendly, great selection of food, great service, plenty of seating and plenty of parking. I stopped in for lunch one day and the next and will definitely go back. I highly recommend.“

“5 stars for the price. I wanted soup, she wanted sushi, and we live eastside so we didn’t want to enter town to a place with $17 dishes and tip. so this is a nice local gem. it is worth noting though: the sushi rice is not seasoned with vinegar/mirin/sugar/salt like expected— just white rice. it’s understandably labor intensive though. still tasted good.“

“20+ years ago I departed the Bay Area to join the army and travel the world. I also departed with a set standard for how chinese food should taste! Imagine the tragedy of constant lack luster chinese food no matter the city, state or country! For over 20 years I was constantly disappointed in the so called chinese food wherever I traveled. It was truly an amazing surprise to finally come home and the very first chinese restaurant I try is a perfect example of my childhood memories filled with pork fried rice, Kung poa chicken and pot stickers! I can really feel as if I've returned home. I only wish I had a bigger stomach to try all my old favorites like foil wrapped chicken, hot and sour soup and many many more! A big thanks to this chinese hot spot that I will be claiming as my go to for excellent chinese cuisine!“

“This place is great! We have eaten here a few times and it has always been very good. They are always super quick with the order. This time I needed something soft to eat for certain reasons, and they made me an off the menu Mapo tofu dish that was perfect and delicious. Can’t say enough good about this place. FYI, when getting an order of white rice to go with the meal, a large is a full size container of rice.“

“Visited at opening 11:00a.m. on a weekday, and we were the first ones in. I was surprised to see that the business name was changed to M Kitchen Buffet. I tried to ask the worker about the name change, but I wasn't able toneffectively communicate with them.The cost for dine-in buffet is $9.95 per person. They have about 7 booth tables that can fit up to 4 people. The place is casual, and seems to cater a lot of people who work in the area, and are looking for good Chinese food at a wallet-friendly price. 1-item starts at $6.95, and a 2-item is $7.95. From what I recall, rice or noodles are considered 1 item, so be aware a protein and rice or noodles is a 2-item selection.The food was fresh and hot at opening. I prefer the fried chicken, orange chicken, mixed vegetables, chow mein, and fried rice.If you're in the area, give it a shot. I was expecting Sherman's Buffet, but it wasn't. My guess is that someone who worked at Sherman's Buffet wanted to own a store, bought it, and changed the name. It tastes pretty muvh the same, and the menu & concept is the same. I prefer the Sherman's off of Pershing, but this restaurant is a good place to dine in or get takeout. Ty ?“

“Lee's is hands down the best Chinese food in manteca! Sancha Lee is the best! You'll never be missing anything on your order! And unlike Hong Hong no roaches no tire muck all over your car!

Kid-friendliness: Every time my kids go they get candies so heck yes“

“Good food and a decent amount for each serving.“

“It has been a few months since ive been here but this place is great! When I tell you, the egg rolls are a MUST HAVE, that is not an overstatement. They are cheap yet huuugeee and soo tasteful!! the miso soup, I am not too much of a fan specifically just my taste it was very mushroomy and I don't like mushrooms. I did have the teriyaki plate and that was great. I wouldn't say it is authentic chinese food but it is pretty dang bomb for a fast food spot. I would definitely come back“

“If your looking for healthy hear is not it's a yummy flavor there chicken is so yummy the vegetables ? are so good the price is right this food is so yummy the area not a fan but is best during day time as they do keep open during the day not much to late but they very nice fast welcoming it's a family place the place in general is not as elegant place but is enough and safe to eat and enjoy“

“Is it good Chinese food? No, not really, it's just okay. But! For less than the price of an order of egg rolls anywhere else you can get as much okay Chinese food as you could ever want to eat, and that's worth a five star review on its own“

“We enjoyed the lunch specials. The price was very reasonable and the amount of food was very good too. Menu had a large range of choices. The only concern is the bathroom. It can use a look over. We do plan to visit again. Great service and pleasant waitress and owners.“

“It's a buffet so service is as expected. The food is good enough. Not exceptional. And the place is clean but older. No frills or attempt at ambiance. But it's the food not the decor you're there for. Order to go and the portions are generous. The soda fountain is notable. The right carbonation and syrup concentration to make an excellent drink. Not to heavy and not watered down.“

“They don't answer their phone and often close well before closing time. Not reliable in that regard.“

“Just passing through Manteca on my way out to French Camp and picked up a call from my pal Razor Cutterback, he asks me to stop at Luu's Chicken Bowl and snag a bunch of chicken, so I did.
It was Spectacular! I can't remember when I've had better chicken.
5 stars all the way! ☆☆☆☆☆“
