50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Martinez

“Every time we go to Aberdeen Cafe, we always get a whole peking duck. The duck skin is crispy, and the meat is well seasoned. We also like to order a bunch of other dishes so that we would have some leftovers to take home. The sesame balls with red beans, shrimp dim sum, and lo mein noodles with bbq pork are also our favorite!“

“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.“

“1st time there. Went there with 4 others for lunch. Had the sweet&sour pork, fried rice, and hot&sour soup. The soup was good, but the fried rice was very plain, and the small chunks of pork were mostly surrounded by deep fried batter. The veggies in the dish were sparce, but good. Overall, not that bad, but not that impressed. impressed“

“The price goes up yet. Portions keep going down not worth it anymore 5/6 bites of chowmain two pieces of broccoli in the super greens 7 shrimp and maybe (teriyaki chicken) maybe 4/5 small chicken nuggets size just spen a extra 3/4 $ and go to good sit down restaurant“

I want to have my 40th birthday there what is the capacity! So i did host my 40th birthday here had about 50 of my friends join me. And the staff and the owner went above and beyond for me and my people! The owner got me balloons and a bottle of wine. They made a special tea just for me and they gave us so much food! It was the best experience ever!“

“The best Asian food we have had in a long time! We were expecting average, but our did was delicious. A nice surprise was the Asian slaw served as an appetizer. Spicy, tangy chopped cabbage. Spicy eggplant with chicken and the massive shrimp in a honey walnut sauce we amazing. Each entree would feed two along with rice. Beer and wine offered. JUST GO!“

“Big fan! The noodles are so tasty and pricing is reasonable! They are very accommodating with all needs with food pickiness
The food is really good our go to if the beef bone noodle sour and spicy numbing pork noodles
Definitely recommend as just like a good spot to get your Asian noodle fix!“

“Really solid dumpling spot in downtown Walnut Creek. Dumpling Hours has more of a casual, old-school local restaurant vibe, which I personally liked. It is not the kind of place that feels super fancy or overly polished, but that actually made it feel more authentic and comfortable to me.

The food was the best part. The xiao long bao were juicy and flavorful, and I really enjoyed the larger dumplings as well. They were filling without feeling too heavy, and they had that satisfying handmade dumpling texture. One dish that stood out more than I expected was the wood ear mushroom salad. It was fresh, light, and had a nice texture that balanced really well with the dumplings.

Service was pretty typical for a busy dim sum-style restaurant: straightforward, quick, and not overly chatty, but totally fine for the type of place it is. I actually don’t mind that when the food comes out hot and the meal moves smoothly.

Overall, I liked the local feel of the restaurant and would definitely come back when I’m in the mood for xiao long bao and dumplings. It is a nice option to have in Walnut Creek, especially if you want something casual, comforting, and different from the usual downtown restaurant choices.“

“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!“

“Just your normal Chinese takeaway done exceptionally well. HUUUUGE portions. A two-item with fried rice and chow mien would easily feed two average adults. Great tasing food. It's only takeaway, no seating. Expect a line at peak times.“

“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“

“Excellent house-made noodles!“

“Delicious dishes and excellent“

“Amazing food, the portions are worth the price, the outside area is beautiful and I will always sit outside. The service is pretty good with food taking a few minutes to arrive if the restaurant isn't too busy. The servers are amazing, especially Anthony. He is always very enthusiastic and kind. Best service out there.“

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

“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.“

“We always come here and have always been happy with the quality of the food. However, there is an older Chinese male server who always makes us feel rushed while we’re eating, and his attitude toward customers is not very friendly.

We really enjoy this restaurant, so we hope you can address this issue by improving the customer service training for this staff member. If the behavior continues, we hope appropriate action will be taken to ensure every customer has a pleasant dining experience.“

“My first time going here and they made a mistake with the order but they fixed it and the food was excellent. Just like how they made it at King Dong in Berkeley which is now closed. Hard to find good Chinese food these days, and this place is a good spot.“

“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!“

“Came in around 8:30am on a saturday, no problems with parking (free parking lot), immediately being able to order and getting a seat.

Food was great, had the chaofan honey walnut shrimp and chaofan siomai. Also had a dessert of ube taho and mais con yelo. Very nice.

Service was lovely, staff were friendly and helpful. Orders were smooth and the wait for the food to be ready was reasonable.

Atmosphere was great, the place was clean and no obtrusive music.“

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

“This place is not far from my house. I've been eating their food for years and I'm never disappointed. 8 can only talk about the dine in lunches. They are generous portions, and I always have enough left for another meal at home.“

“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.“

“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“

“Excellent service and the food was delicious.“

“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!“

“I was on my way to Concord and went past the Three Brothers from China Restaurant and planned on going there as soon as I'm finished with Ol Oshcotious Trotterdale out at his Haggis plant, where I'm to get a full view of what goes into producing authentic Haggis. Well, I don't have words to describe what I saw, and there aren't any words in the English language to describe what I smelled.All I can say is...there is something wrong with those people.I went Lickity Split all the way to the Three Brothers from China Restaurant and had Pork Pot Stickers and Char Siu Chicken it was Amazing! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“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!“

“Best authentic Cantonese dim sum in the CoCo county area! I grew up with dim sum in SF at least once a week with my grandpa and it reminds me of him every time we go. Creek House is family owned and the owners are still working every day, passing down the tradition to their daughter who runs most of the operations. Their baos are super soft and tops are perfectly toasted. Their dim sum and Cantonese dishes are cooked perfectly without being saturated in oil. The bbq pork baos are my absolute favorite and that's coming from the daughter of one of the most well known bakeries in SF (Red A Bakery, since sold when my parents retired). I love this spot because it reminds me of the good ole days :) oh and they serve dim sum at night!!!! BEST THING EVERRRRR“

“It’s been a while since my husband and I visited this restaurant, and it never fails to impress us. The food is absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend it to my friends and family. The dining area has undergone some changes, but it’s still a pleasant experience. I particularly enjoyed the Lego display. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is clean and well-maintained.“

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

“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 ❗️“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“By God’s own bleeding wounds, I am struck dumb and addled with frantic, feverish ecstasy!

My recent, fateful pilgrimage into this festering yet paradisiacal grotto of culinary debauchery—known unto the vulgar as the China Wall Buffet—doth beggar the very soul and reduce one’s intellectual faculties to a sputtering tallow-dip in a gale!

Upon darkening the threshold of this magnificent plague-pit, the presiding sibyl of the vestibule did hail mine visage with such harrowing, relentless familiarity—as though an entire epoch had dissolved into vapor since yesterday’s gluttonous routing—that my very marrow turned to warm treacle! For the paltry tribute of nineteen silver groats and sundry coppers, I was granted sovereign licence to plunge headlong into a subterranean sea of perpetual grease, wandering a grand hall of absolute abundance with trembling hands to plunder the mountainous, steaming viscera of the line myself!

Behold the victuals, ye wretched groundlings! Long, sinuous skeins of wheat-flesh writhing in unholy oils, and savory meat-pouches folded tighter than the state secrets of the Crown! And oh, the fowl!—doused in the blistering, phantom fury of New Spain's peppers, yet carrying no genuine malice to rend the constitution asunder!

Yet, I pray thee, hearken unto the madness that doth pass all human comprehension! They proffer cold, lifeless rectangles of briny marsh-rice, burdened with raw, un-hallowed fragments of the dark ocean’s abyss—presented utterly bereft of the purifying, holy grace of God’s own hearthfire!

To ingest such cold, slippery maritime blasphemy at a common trough is a game of Russian roulette played with the Almighty’s very bowels! Yet, by some unholy, necromantic alchemy, having partaken of a modest triad or quartet of morsels to tempt perdition, mine entrails yet hold their fortress against the void!

Absolute, mind-shattering perfection! A spectacle so bloody outrageous it doth make the angels weep and the devils dance a jig of pure, unadulterated triumph! Five stars out of five, and may a plague consume every other kitchen in Christendom!“

“Really liked this place the couple times I got to have it! It now says closed every day except mondays and they don't answer their phone, I hope they arent closed as I was just becoming a loyal customer!

Edit- I see below they said they will be closed until the 10th for the remodel. I feel like you should be more clear about that! I will be back once you reopen!“

“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.“

“Muy deliciosa la comida la recomiendo“

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

“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 ,“

“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. 🔥👌“

“The luncheon meal served to me was catered and was delivered promptly to our dinning location with a group of twenty people celebrating two birthdays. The order was still hot from its preparation and arrived with all necessary flatware along with a celebratory and festive attitude. The catered food was roasted chicken thigh and leg served with tender cabbage and perfectly steamed fluffy white rice. The chicken had an appealing medium roasted brown color prepared with what I could taste as soy based seasoning, slight sweetness and other enhancing aromatic flavors. The chicken was roasted to an ideal doneness and was tender and juicy, flavorful, easy to cut and of a sizable quantity. The gracious lady appearing with the catered order was courteous and kind, prompt as I mentioned and made sure the delivery was as exactly requested. The entire experience was positive, the roasted chicken was delicious, it all went smoothly and I would definitely suggested Camille Restaurant to others.“

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

“When you walk in the first thing you notice is how clean the restaurant is and how the chefs wear protected things over their hair and over their hands the hospitality at this place is over the top. They make sure that they help you and understand exactly what you need. You have a clear view of the kitchen. the hospitality at this place is 10/10 They make sure that they help you and understand exactly what you need. You have a clear view of the kitchen. You have a clear view of the food. Everything is freshly made. You cannot go wrong with super greens. That is something I add to my plate every time I go thank you for your service. Thank you for a clean restaurant thank you to the cooks that are in the kitchen. Making sure that the food taste flavorful always a good place to come to on my lunch break.“

“I've always been a fan of that mall with Charlotte russe jcpenney forever 21 and express. I miss that agaci there. it's a shame that justice permanently closed. it goes well at that mall same with limited too. I remember shopping at limbo lounge when I was a teenager getting my pictures taken at that jcpenney and that sears. My mom took me to that Victoria secrets ten years ago to buy lingerie after I had a breast reduction I spare time to walk around at that mall whenever I shop at that macys“
