23 Best Chinese Restaurants near Marina

“Decem and QQ gave us the BEST service we have EVER received. No exaggeration. They provided our group with such a wonderful experience and ALL of our food was amazing. We had chow mein, wings, Mongolian beef, sweet & sour chicken, rice, wor wonton soup, ginger tea, and the sesame seed dessert balls (I don’t remember what they were called). Above all, they treated us like family. We will absolutely be having more family dinners here. If you are reading reviews to see where you should go to eat this is THE place to go. P.S. You must try the chicken wings!“

“New to the area and I give them 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I ordered a combination plate half fried rice half chow mein and salt and pepper chicken extra garlic add peppers…. Very very tasty. I’ve tried other restaurants in the area and this one is my favorite!!!“

“I enjoyed the food, the wait was a little long, but there was some language barriers, the waitress was nice but didn't quite understand some of our questions, the hostess was very helpful and answered our questions about the selections on the menu, and made sure our order was right. I loved the design, pictures, and overall atmosphere of the restaurant.“

“I've lived in Mtry most of my life & have NEVER been to Jim's. I've heard some mixed reviews, but today was the day my son & I ventured out & I'm soooo glad we did. It's a very small place & we were looking to get something to go (which we did), but the overall experience was incredible. Family inviting, interactive, "crazy," large portions (at least 2 days' worth of leftovers), the owner/chief greets you as well w/a little snack to chew on while you wait (friends won tons & something else..I think a seseme ball) so good. We even asked about their Boba....fresh, NO powders, so I had to try the Tia Tea...omg soooo delicious (I went back 2 days later for more). Won ton soup delicious the best I have ever tasted, orange chicken (where you can actually taste the orange zest) was a game changer ? chow main noodles ? cooked to perfection ? & lastly the shrimp ? fried rice was so good & lite (NOT oily like most places). Very filling all of it. With all of this good stuff & the Tia tea, we will be back again & this time, we will stay to enjoy the ambiance of it all.

Parking: If you're NOT able to get parking in the very front of the restaurant, then you have to park in the attached side lot that is closer to Broadway & then walk from there. Parking lot needs some work (lots of debris & potholes), but it's free & unlimited (NO time restrictions).“

“Super fresh creative Chinese food that is reasonably priced. Best in the area. Highly recommend“

“My family and I have been coming to The Orient for over 10 years. This place is the best. It's run by the same family and the deliciousness of their food hasn't changed either. The beef Pho is great, best around I think. I really like their fried rice, salt pepper squid and egg foo young. Pretty much everything here is good. Their lunch specials are deal too.“

“My first time here and I've been walking by it for years now. Li Yuen Chinese Restaurant located in Castroville is a small little place with a few tables. They have really good lunch and dinner specials. I got the sweet and sour chicken lunch plate and it came with fried rice, egg roll, soup, and sweet and sour chicken. The portions were generous and the food was delicious! I would recommend coming here for Chinese food. #LetsGuide“

“Lucky Bamboo is open for takeout during the Coronavirus shutdown. My wife and I got takeout last night. We had chicken chow mein, beef with asparagus, and chicken with black mushrooms. The food was delicious, fresh, and plentiful. The person who helped me was very friendly and appreciative to have the business.“

“Terrific Asian restaurant. My favorite is the chicken fried rice. The spring rolls and potstickers are also good. A cozy little family owned restaurant in downtown Monterey. Like ALL better restaurants, there is NO surcharge for using a credit card. Parking can sometimes be a small challenge, I found out when I was in there that they have more parking behind the building also. Only negative, you have to bring your own Cokes. They have some kind of a Coke substitute there. Pro tip, eat with chopsticks, not a fork. Highly recommended.“

“Best place ever. Super friendly staff and amazingly delicious food!“

“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. They have hands down the best special wonton soup, Hong Kong style chow mein, and mushu pork. Flavorful, fast, and just delicious. Whenever we visit from out of town we make it a point to stop here. The best!“

“REALLLLYY great food!! place is so packed though and really tiny. i can see why so many people were eating in though!

if you’re a party of 2 or more though they charge you 18% automatically, which i thought was silly, but oh well! great food, very friendly staff“

“Greatness 💯🔥. Very friendly. Good good food.“

“Called the night before to order the duck. We got there about 10 minutes earlier than we said we would pick it up and they were already cutting it up for us. They are very friendly there. The duck was perfect. Good to know I don't have to drive to San Jose or Oakland to get one now!“

“The patient's breast hearing sleep is off the hook. They got the best best Chinese food that any other Chinese restaurant has they're friendly. They're courteously. They're clean respectful. You know, anybody reads this R your knees to go there and find out themselves. You have to give you for $10 to give you a quality of food that is so good. You get filled up.You want more but you can't because you're too full“

“I love eating here. The honey walnut shrimp is my favorite! We've eaten here twice, and i can't wait to go back. The servings are great for the price! It's clean and kid friendly. The staff are friendly as well. It's right next to trader Joe's and across is Chipotle. The parking isn't that bad either.“

“It appears that many people get take out here. There were not many people dining in, but those who were, appeared to be regulars. The food was fresh, hot and cooked just right. The service was good, just not that personable. The atmosphere was not bad but didn't feel inviting either.“

“We have coming here since it changed hands. We really enjoyed the previous owners and the new owners are keeping up with expectations.We usually get takeout and they are always very happy to help us get everything in the car.The food very good, including the Mongolian beef, snow peas and bbq pork, wonton soup and the house fried rice to name a few.Give them a try. I think you’ll like this place.“

“They have great lunch specials. They are also very accommodating for people that are in a lunch break. In the past, I worked in the agriculture industry and we would call ahead and they would have the plates already on the table covered keeping warm. The staff they have had in place for many years and they do an amazing job.“

“Good food & service. Great for banquets. Lots of parking.“

“I was thoroughly impressed by my experience at Panda Express. From the moment I stepped in, the inviting aroma of freshly prepared dishes set the stage for a delightful meal. The staff was friendly and efficient, guiding me through the menu with helpful suggestions and a smile.

My order arrived quickly and was a perfect blend of savory flavors and satisfying textures. Every bite confirmed the commitment to quality and freshness that Panda Express is known for. The modern, clean ambiance added to the overall experience, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal.

I left feeling excited to return and explore more of the menu. As a new customer, I can confidently give Panda Express a 5-star rating for an outstanding dining experience!“
