50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Martinez

“Aberdeen Cafe in Martinez is a hidden gem. The food is authentic and full of flavor, with a great variety of traditional Chinese dim sum dishes.

The service was friendly and efficient, making the experience enjoyable. Pricing is affordable, and the portions are generous. Whether you’re craving dim sum or a full meal, Aberdeen Cafe is a must-visit in Martinez.“

“Very happy with the pork fried rice both the quality and generous portion. The sweet and sour pork is also really good. I sat in the bar next door and had a beer while I waited for my food. Not that I had to wait long. I will definitely be back if not for the food then to hang out at the bar.“

“We had the chow mein, sesame vegan chicken and tofu and veggies. All were delicious! There were many people in the waiting area ordering vegan options. Surprised there aren't any reviews here yet. They had lots of vegan options and we're knowledgeable.“

“The chef at this one was phenomenal. I’ve never tasted panda this good, I had to wait a little longer so I observed the chef taking his time adding all the seasonings and measuring stuff probably doing it the right way and you could taste the difference. Tofu and eggplant was cooked perfect.“

“Best Chinese food in Contra Costa County. Totally Authentic Sezchuan style. A must try for anyone who loves great flavors.“

“I love their beef noodles! And the meat is not too bad - not chewy/fatty. Could use extra veggies or add a little more but otherwise it's ok. The morning silog are great! My daughter loves bangus so she orders bangus silog. We can't order bangus anywhere else (main stream restaurant) so this a treat for her. Breakfast has limited time so make sure to get there before it ends. My daughter and I order sesame balls to take home and eats halohalo for dessert (summer time treat) afterwards. We also order taho for winter treat to finished off our visit. This store is like a fast food place - first you order and pay for your food at the counter. Then wait for your food to call in and enjoy your food either eat-in or take out. Just like any other fast food restaurants.

“Excellent! Tonight was one of the best meals we’ve had here and are so happy to be able to continue to support the restaurant. So thank you for some of the most fresh best tasting Chinese food in Walnut Creek!“

“Excellent restaurant. Had the braised beef noodle soup. GET IT! Staff friendly. Food tasty. Properly priced. I expected a “typical” Chinese restaurant experience. I expected a typical offering. Mostly soups with some rice dishes. Pleasantly surprised by the menu. Thank you.“

“If you're like me, and you are obsessed with Xiao Long Bao, you will LOVE this spot.

It can be tough to get solid Dim Sum in the East Bay, so this is a much needed spot in Walnut Creek.

Their Xiao Long Bao are perfection, especially the hot and spicy pork ones.

Their Siu Mai is solid too - highly recommend the shrimp and pork.

Their sautéed string beans with garlic salt are top notch, too. Perfectly seasoned.

This is a great lunch spot, with quick service. Will be back again soon!“

“Amazing! Great food, great portion sizes, great price! My boyfriend and I love to stop in here because the food is wayyyy better when we dine in. It’s so good though we love to order it as take out too. They’re also super knowledgeable and accommodating for my dairy allergy!“

“I had a craving for a good old fashioned Chinese lunch special. You know the ones that include maybe some soup if you're lucky rice and one entree. I saw this place when I had a few minutes to myself. I went in and ordered not expecting much but it was absolutely delicious! The soup was hot and sour soup which is one of my favorites. It was incredibly well done and then I had kung pao shrimp with stir fried rice. The rice was okay. Nothing special but my God the kung pao shrimp? The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the vegetables were crisp tender and the sauce was spicy enough to catch your attention without burning out your stomach or your throat“

“It's a very well known restaurant, with very tasty delicious dishes .
Loved the Garlic Pea Sprouts ($19.95.) Tender pea sprouts stir-fried with minced garlic, offering a fresh and savory leafy green dish. Over all ...their food is so delicious and authentic.
Also the the Spicy Stir-fried Cabbage and Garlic Baby Bock Choi are so delicious. 🔥“

“While the food was really good, the service was even better. The team was super attentive and quickly moved us outside to a chill, pretty patio when we asked.
Our server remembered our drinks, suggested a killer shareable, and everything arrived hot and perfectly timed. The outdoor vibe was relaxed with zero rush.
Ideal for date nights or casual catch-ups. We’ll be back!“

“Favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Food is fresh and delicious, seasoning is perfect, and I always really appreciate the kind service. We usually get takeout, but the restaurant itself is very nice. The MuShu Chicken is my personal favorite, my husband loves the Mongolian Beef. Every soup is delicious. You can't really go wrong here.“

“You can never go wrong with Ming's!

I've been here for their lunch special a half-dozen times over the past year, and it's been consistently excellent. Great price for the amount of food, and every entree I have ordered has been great, especially the spicy eggplant with tofu. The portions are very generous too - my wife and I always end up bringing home leftovers.

My family and I often order takeout for dinner here as well, and again, have never been disappointed. Everything is exceptionally fresh - the veggie and seafood options are my favorites.“

“Nice atmosphere but the best part is the food. Great selection with some hard to find items. They definitely know how to spice the food - can’t be beat“

“Been going here for 20 years. Never a bad meal!“

“Excellent house-made noodles!“

“Iv dined here since the early 1990's and always have a pleasant experience. It's changed owners within their family and the interior has been updated but the core still stays the same. Attentive staff, good food, and always bustling!“

“Lightning fast and consistently piping hot, this is our go-to for fresh and tasty Chinese takeout. The Mu Shu Chicken, BBQ Pork Fried Rice, and Mongolian Beef are family favorites, but we have honestly never been disappointed with anything else we've tried. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a delicious meal delivered in record time.“

“The food was good as usual. It was not very busy for a Sunday but the staff looked tired and not very enthusiastic. They should enforce dress codes for servers. The floors were sticky when you walk into the restaurant. The water glassed were plastic instead of glass. The restaurant needs deep cleaning and freshen up the atmospher. You can see all the storage freezers when sitting in the dining room when they can be hidden with a decor curtain or a trifold divider. They don't bring the bill to the table or accept payment at the table only at the cashier which is weird for a sit down facility“

“This place is hands down one of the best Chinese food I’ve had in CA. Taste and flavor is there and food is very fresh. I don’t understand why there’s bad reviews because it doesn’t reflect what I’ve had here. There’s just one guy serving tables here, so service can take a bit when they’re busy. But it’s worth it. Don’t miss out because you see a few bad reviews. In the Bay Area over all, most Chinese food tastes so watered down and lacks flavor. This place is great.“

“Excellent service and the food was delicious.“

“I can’t believe I have never written a review for this place. This Chinese restaurant is the spot to order from for family parties. Best know for their fried chicken with spicy salt trays which is so good and crunchy! Also their combination fried rice, people also order their fried fish, bbq chicken, and honey walnut prawns for parties. They’re only takeout and they are always busy. Best to order ahead and allow yourself time to pick up before large parties. I just call to make an order and you pay when you pick up. I wish I could see their prices online or in person for the small and large trays. For a small chicken and small fried rice tray it cost over $100. So large trays are probably about $100. Tastes good and feeds a lot of people. Located in the island pacific plaza, plenty of parking and don’t leave anything valuable in your car.“

“Delicious dishes and excellent“

“Chef Choy Chinese Food may never be the same after a group of 12 longtime friends get together and share over embellished stories that grow every year. What a great time, thank you to all of the staff at Chef Choy for enduring our bantor. Top it off with great service and amazing food!

“My name is Forest Yu from Fremont, California. I really like this restaurant.

Great food starts with great ingredients. I appreciate that they use high-quality beef and fresh vegetables, which makes the dishes taste fresh, healthy, and nutritious.“

“Always such good food with so many choices. Always very friendly staff as well. Love eating here“

“Treat yourself to a fantastic Chinese meal. The food is top-notch, with delicious handmade dim sum and excellent entrées. The owners are meticulous about quality, and I feel fortunate to have this restaurant nearby. As someone who considers herself a good judge of Asian food, this is truly my favorite.“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“First time. Great find! The food was delicious and well prepared. Didn't have that "all day in the steam tray" look and feel that now seems standard at other similar places. Vegies looked and tasted like they were made from fresh. The meats were tender and generous. Sauces light and not overly sweet or heavy. Will be our new go-to Chinese takeout!“

“Excellent place to meet up with friends and family to have a great time with yummy food“

“We stopped by China Wall Buffet recently and had a great experience. The service was friendly from the moment we walked in, and the atmosphere felt comfortable and welcoming. The buffet was well-stocked and the selection looked fresh and appetizing.

Everything we tried was enjoyable, and the staff kept the dining area clean and inviting throughout our visit. It’s definitely a spot worth coming back to, and we left feeling satisfied. Worth the trip.“

“Muy deliciosa la comida la recomiendo“

“My dad was craving shrimp fried rice so I was searching in a place in Vallejo for take out and thought I’d try 88 baobao’s. I called in and it was easy to place an order. I ordered shrimp fried rice, sauteed green beans, popcorn chicken, and a side of cucumbers. My order was ready in 10-15 mins for pick up. Service was quick. This was my first time ordering from this location, I didn’t even order any baos sio mai or dumplings but I tried them at other locations. They have indoor seating and the food has huge portions to serve lots of people and last for multiple meals. Located in the Gateway Plaza across from Vallejo Costco, so there’s plenty of parking. Located next to Ulta and quickly.“

“Been going here since early high school and they still hit! Fresh and great portion sizes! This I got a 3 item plate and was able to split it for me, my mom and nephew! Plus a medium order of the fried battered fish!! Very good chowmein and rice too! All the ladies are nice!“

“Small Place but the FRIED RICE AND LO MEIN I just ordered was Big Time AWESOME 👍 plus I ordered walking in an hour before close and I was out in ten minutes 👍👌I've been looking for something less expensive and these 2 entrees cost me a nice $33 and the portions are generous. 🔥👌“

“I ordered the Mu Shu Pork on Christmas. It was the, dare I say, the best Mu Shu Pork I’ve had in several years. It was fresh, tasty and fulfilling. It was take out where the food sometimes loses its taste and freshness. This was not the case.
I gave 5 stars on atmosphere even though I realize it does not apply in this instance, but, when I’ve been in there, the atmosphere was good.
I’ve yet to have a bad meal here.“

“Went her last night with my family. Second time I had it. First time I had it delivered to my house this time we ate there. It was DELICIOUS 🤤 both times. So happy I live walking distance to my new favorite Chinese restaurant ❗️“

“Came for lunch. The congee and rice noodles were very good. The chow fun was just meh. The service was good but the plastic dishes and bowls and paper cups for tea really cheapen the experience. I’ll come back to try the dim sum next time. We come to the shopping center a lot to eat at the other places and was surprised to have just noticed this place. It’s on the backside of the mall. They have been open for 2 years but their sign is now up and more visible.“

“good speedy service, large menu to choose from and delicious food“

“Delicious food! We had the soup dumplings, fried potstickers, cucumber salad and Dan Dan noodles. Everything was wonderfully flavored and a joy to eat! Great service, a cozy laid back ambiance - I look forward to coming back and trying more dishes!“

“SO GOOD, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, Good pricing, Great flavor for everything.“

“I’ve been coming to ChinaChef for over a year now, and it’s easily one of my favorite spots! The food is always delicious, everything has great quality, fresh ingredients, and amazing flavor. It’s also very affordable, which makes it even better.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and you can tell it’s a family-owned restaurant. The people here are always friendly and go out of their way to help. Whether it’s dine-in or takeout, the experience is always great.“

“Ordered from there tonight with DoorDash General Taos chicken 🐔. Thought all meals came with white rice , for 25 bucks I got a small plate of chicken an few stalks of broccoli. It was good just not for what I paid for ,“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
I’ve got to hand it to this Panda Express! — even though prices have gone up a bit, they haven’t shrunk the portions like so many other places have. The food still comes out fresh, hot, and consistent every time I stop by. The staff moves quick, the place stays clean, and you can tell they care about keeping quality up. Definitely one of the better Panda locations around.“

“I originally ordered Mountain Mike's pizza next-door but when I got there they said that they never got my order. The place was empty, they were kind of rude and didn't offer to make my order in a hurry or even help me in anyway. I just left and went to panda express who were awesome! The food was also killer!“

“FAT PANDA IN LAFAYETTE: A GLORIOUS FEAST, A SACRED FOOD DEBT JOURNEY

Step into Fat Panda in Lafayette, California, and you enter a world where food debt is not a burden, but an honor.
