7 Best Chinese Restaurants in Merced

“Ordered the C4 and C5, it took about 15 minutes to prep. It was ready, fresh and loaded! It was a huge plate for about $13.50 per plate and left us with plenty of leftovers. Customer service was kind and made us smile. Overall a 8.5/10, will be back for “

“This is a great place for cheap Chinese food. The qaulity is decent, and the service is very friendly. Edit: Updating to 5 stars, this is in my top two fav Chinese places in Merced. Can't beat the value for the price here.

“Love this place! My family always has a great time with great food. Friendly staff ALWAYS“

“This restaurant is in an old neighborhood and looks run down. The mens' room is dirty and smells bad.Now, the important stuff. Food is excellent and portions are large. All appetizers are meal-sized. Especially recommend the pot stickers, which come with a SPICY chili sweet and sour sauce, and the chicken and broccoli, which simply tasted good. Service is a bit slow but atmosphere is friendly enough. Recommended.“

“Wow. I’m super impressed w the change. I used to love Hong Kong but the prices got too high and the portions shrank. The next new owners changed the recipe of a lot of classics so I stopped eating there the past few years. Fast forward to today when I was walking by and noticed the Under New Management sign so I thought I’d give it another try. I ordered the combo plate for $11.95. Fried rice, s&s pork & chow mein noodles. (The chow mein noodles come w egg & pork but the single order of chow mein has more veggies, etc.) The pieces of pork are big and the sauce has a good taste. Let me tell you, the portions are HUGE. The plate was so heavy, I had to weight it. It was 3.25 lbs. That’s a lot of food. Nothing more could fit in the container. The prices are way lower too. The most expensive item is $14.95 (hong kong special for a minimum 2 people) but most are $7.95-$12.95 and you get plenty. I’d order one item for each person and share. My other family members saw my plate and had to try it the next day. They ordered the Mongolian beef (a lil spicy but tolerable for non spicy eaters like me) and chow mein. Both were heaping full plates of fresh, hot and delicious food cooked to order. If you prefer less spicy, just ask them to alter it. I can’t wait to try more of the many, many options available. I’m so excited to have a new place to eat right across the street from me that I can afford weekly. Remember, it’s under new management so give it a try! It’s worth it.

Edit: After trying this restaurant under the new owner a few times, I’d highly recommend skipping the cheaper combo plate ($11.95) and ordering individual dishes. The lower price combo is tempting and you get a lot but the extra few dollars for the special versions is way better. The reason is because the rice and chow mein noodles you get w the combo are their basic version. The rice has egg and pieces of pork, and the chow mein noodles have egg, bean sprouts and slices of pork on top. But when you order them individually off the menu, order the special rice so that you get all the extras like peas,, etc. Same w the chow mein. Order the special chow mein dish because it has a lot of vegetables that aren’t in the basic chow mein noodles included w the combo plate. If you look at the pictures, you’ll see what I mean about the combo plate rice & chow mein and the rice & chow mein ordered as individual dishes. This is most likely why there is such a discrepancy between reviews. Some people ordered the combo plates and were disappointed not knowing that some of the dishes were the basic versions. I’m wondering if they’d feel the same if they tried the special versions? Take my advice… Order off the menu and not the combo plate.“

“The times I ordered white rice I got old, hard, or undercooked rice. It's only at this Panda Express and I'm not sure if that issue has been addressed since then. And customer service feels slow and unenthusiastic. I'm being nice because it should be a 3-star review.“
