20 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lathrop

“Genuinely one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever visited. The food is very fresh, never oily, full of flavor. The family who owns and runs the restaurant are nice as well. Huge portions for cheap prices. I love coming here. I'm convinced that the few people who have left bad reviews, just had a bad day, lol. Also this place is mostly for take-out, but they do have a few spots where you could sit and eat. There's also some outdoor seating as well (for the whole plaza).“

“I came here with my parents and we arrived during closing hours. We didn’t realize this until we sat down and they were still extremely welcoming. They even offered to let us stay for an additional 40 minutes. This was plenty of time considering their food was very good and flavorful and we finished in about 15 minutes.

Very kind people and I 100% recommended this place to people who want amazing customer service and great authentic chinese food.“

“The place is casual, and the workers are very efficient with order-taking and filling. The staff was attentive when I went back to the counter for water cups and the code for the bathroom. He r3cognized that I was waiting, and even though he was in the middle of a task, he asked me if I needed assistance. Another worker was really helpful when she saw me trying to use the bathroom code that didn't work at first. I appreciated her attentiveness and genuine concern.

The store was clean, workers were helpful, and the food tasted good. The fried rice at some other locations would sometimes have hard rice, or undercooked. This location had well-cooked rice.

I felt that the team here was cohesive and they care for the customer's needs.“

“Always a rainy day backup….food is priced right and also good …. 30 yrs and counting“

“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.“

“Solid place. Got delivery from here as well and the cost is reasonable. The food is good; the value is great. Would recommend given most of the restaurants in the area have the habit of dropping quality given delivery service rush.

Combo D is what I got iirc.“

“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.“

“Do not let the construction site fool you, they are very open! Took my mom there for lunch midweek and was treated to excellent customer service by the owner. We got the Chefs Family meal for 2. Started with soup, broth was excellent. Cream cheese ragoons and shrimp tempura next, both excellent. Pork chow mein, pork fried rice and sweet and sour pork to round out our meal. All of it was fresh and hot and the pork at such great flavor.
We have been eating at Happy Dragon since the early 90s and it has changed ownership four times. The quality and freshness is still there. Large portions and fresh food. We both went home with had to go box for lunch the next day.
The owner took great care of us, can't wait to go back!“

“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“

“I really love this place , everyone is so nice and the food is always fresh . But one thing that really struck me was that they do not have high chairs for kids at any Sherman’s , it kind of gives no kids wanted here which I’m sure isn’t the case because they are so cool but I think they most definitely should get some high chairs and make it more family friendly .“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“The staff was helpful. The food was hot and very tasty too. I like the warm teriyaki to add on extra to your meals too. My beef was cut thin and tender. My wife loved the combo plate as well. We got the shrimp tempura for our son and he loved them to much.
They give a good portion of rice and veggies with the meals too.“

“To be honest i have always enjoyed the food from this exact location. Then years later after finding out they changed names and ownership i was a little worried that the food wouldn't taste the same but ol boy was i wrong. The food is amazing and always fresh. I mean either wake up or get hip people this is definitely an underrated eatery. Owner is super nice always keeps the place nice and clean and the food hot and fresh. I highly recommend lucky house express. Yes they are covid friendly with protection barrier to keep food safe. Whether it be a quick bite for lunch or a big catering experience come on and try them out. There is always going to be the good and the bad in every post i do so here's the bad. The parking lot is full of grocery shoppers so some times you have to walk a few stalls to get there no biggie right? I mean we all love to eat, and when we find out that there's a place that's serving huge portions and has been consistently good for years why not try it.Keep up the great work guys and once again thanks for the great food.“

“At Panda Express, it’s not just about Orange Chicken and Chow Mein—it’s about serving up good fortune beyond the plate. Through their Panda Cares initiative, they’ve raised funds to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. So next time you grab a bowl at the Manteca location, know you’re also feeding something bigger—hope, support, and a whole lot of heart.“

“I've been coming to Louie's since they were in their old location at Hammer Ranch. Always a great experience and the food is fresh and delicious!“

“I was hungry and ordered three things (dinner for 2, salmon nigiri, dragon roll). Waitress said I may not want to order so much because the portions were large. I thought it would be like other asian.places - small portions, so I kept my order the same. Yikes! She was right. Soooo much food! Everything was hot, fresh and exceptionally tastey. Steamed rice was served in a thermal serving container to keep it hot. I couldn't finish - had to take most of the food home. Great place! I highly recommend!“
