50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Mill Valley

“A cute little spot with family friendly service, and the service was just amazing! There was a male waiter from Fiji who greeted me and my elderly companion and we were swiftly seated and served without any issues. The Food didn't take long to arrive and it was delicious as expected from what I've heard about the place. Reccomend!!“

“I went there to see if I could eat there, but it was a take-out restaurant.
However, I ordered delicious food and enjoyed it when I got home.
I was grateful that the friendly staff told me about nearby parks where I could eat and explained things well.
There is also a parking lot, so park comfortably.“

“This food is good. I wasn’t expecting it to be that good for some reason but I’m impressed. We had the veggie egg rolls (2 1/2), there was a funny spice added in there that wasn’t familiar nor was it necessary. Green onion pancakes (4.5) Long donut (4/5) it was so fresh, hot and crispy. Sweet chili wings (4), got happy when I seen the jalapeños but there was no kick at all, they were like a basic teriyaki. General tso chicken (4) no kick to them like normal general. Beef & broc (4) shrimp fried rice (4.5). The lady in front gets a little flustered and I thought she had an attitude with me but once the food came out, she gave us a free soda each and a free Long Donut. Def would return!“

“I love dining at Harmony Restaurant in Strawberry Village. The space feels warm and inviting, perfect for family meals or a casual date night. The hand-crafted dim sum is consistently fresh, especially the shrimp gow and grilled turnip cakes. Service is friendly and attentive, and I appreciate the mix of traditional Cantonese flavors with modern touches. Pro tip: go around lunchtime for a quieter experience and try the veggie dim sum: I always leave satisfied and eager to return.“

“This restaurant was born out of Hong Kong Lounge II, which was one of our favorites. This met our expectation. So glad to see returning staff from the prior location providing the same amazing service. Food was outstanding. My next adventure will be chicken feet.“

“Our party of 4 pre-ordered a whole Peking duck. It did not disappoint. It was moist and tender. Not greasy as some I have had. It is served with crepes instead of the usual buns. We ate every piece! The miso sea bass was so moist and buttery! We totally agreed it was the best we've ever had! The garlic pea sprouts were cooked just right. For dessert we had the almond jello bunnies. So cute! Could have had more almond flavor but we all finished it anyways! Our server was pleasant and fun. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. Wish I could remember her name. Would definitely eat here again! Note: they have an 8% surcharge for employee whatever. Typical of SF restaurants.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“So good! They have many different combinations of dumpling fillings. We went with the three treasures, and the mushroom & chicken filling, one with soup and one without, they were both so good. The soup that it comes with is filled with seaweed, and a light savory broth. I highly suggest adding vinegar to the broth to bring out the flavor even more. And you make your own dipping sauce at the table for your dumplings as well.

Service was great, and the food came out quickly. Plenty of seating, with wall decorations.“

“My family and I absolutely LOVED the food. Place looks clean workers look neat and they were all very attentive and nice.
We enjoyed the pork dumpling soup, T burger and shrimp pot stickers.
Would definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“Very attentive and friendly staff. Atmosphere was quaint. Expected food to come out consistently together for group so that everyone could select their entrees and also eat the chow mein and/or rice with the meats and veggie options we selected. Would recommend the Mongolian beef and vegetable egg rolls!“

“Who knew pineapple bun could be used as a bun?! Love the sparkling teas too… and the spring rolls…. And the chrysanthemum salad… and the ice cream... Actually haven’t tried anything I didn’t like!! If there was one in Oakland, I’d have a serious problem. On that note there ARE a few vacancies on College Ave… just saying 🙏🏼💕😘“

“Silly name but this place has the perfect combination of quality, quantity of food, and price. I get several meals over a few days with the generous servings here without breaking the bank. I’m a vegetarian and there are many meatless options including meatless sesame chicken which tastes spot on with great sauce. The salt & pepper tofu is also well prepared, crispy and delicious. I also recommend the meatless chicken, broccoli with garlic sauce on the side, easily one of my favorites.
You simply can’t go wrong here.“

“Great dim sum. Friendly service. Great location in the fisherman’s wharf area where locals and tourists can enjoy the food and the scenary“

“Yummy dumpling place on Irving St and the prices are extremely affordable for what they offer! I got a beef noodle soup (non-spicy) and it soothed my soul, super delicious and it has that dark but also tender broth. I also tried the Pork and Napa Cabbage dumpling soup and it was light and filling (12 dumplings in the soup). This spot is great for solo-dining and the service is attentive and friendly.

Parking in the area is pretty hard so do plan ahead!“

“WenChang is a winner. I was staying a couple blocks away and stumbled upon this nondescript neighborhood eatery, and I’m so glad I did. The food and prices were great. The crispy honey sesame chicken was a treat. I’m not a big fan of sweet dishes, but this plate was loaded with nice pieces of chicken, fried to perfection with the perfect mixture of sweetness and sesame. The soup dumplings are another must-try dish—savory and juicy. The vegetable chow mein was
fresh and not overly cooked. They have two prices for many entrees: cash and credit card. So make sure to bring cash for the best prices.“

“Food is excellent here. I ordered the famous fried chicken and deep fried flounder with the same sauce and green beans. It was delicious. I was with a party of 3 so we do share tables. If you’re not into that I would recommend takeout instead.“

“We got the mushroom broth, instant noodles, handmade noodles, and an assortment of tofu and veggies.

First of all, the service was excellent. We came in closer to closing than we would have liked but were welcomed with open arms. We especially appreciated the complimentary desert.

Second of all, the sauce options were amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious, and we loved how spicy the chili oil was.

Third, all the ingredients were high quality. We especially loved the tofu skin and handmade noodles

We will be coming back! This definitely was the best hot pot we have had in San Francisco. Very grateful to have such a great option in the neighborhood.“

“Decent Chinese American fares, with really generous portions. The fog rolled in thick so their hot & sour soup hit the spot. Genuine chilli crisp on the table.

It seems they get their business mostly from takeout. Limited seating area only 3 small tables. Service is inattentive, though I did not come at a busy time. Missing utensils etc for my table.“

“I used to live in SF for a short while and been revisiting Hai Ky for 15 years. I think about the food here a lot - the craft is amazing. It's a regular topic in my group chat.
The broth is restrained but near perfect - the noodles are platonic ideal textures of gloss and chewiness. Glorious, bouncy and well dressed in whatever you get them in. The rice noodles are especially impressive- so fresh and well cooked . The main noodle dish is famous in south china (there's a Netflix china docu) and especially through Thailand Cambodia vietnam and they show the slight inflection of how we eat it in SE Asia. The condiments here are even perfect - just peer into the pristinely sliced chilis perfectly crisp in vinegar brine. Get the special w all the noodles and also the fried fish cake if they still have.
I'm sad to see how abandoned downtown SF and especially Tenderloin feels now on recent visits. A lot of restaurants are barely living anywhere let alone here. I hope selfishly they'll live on for many more years. Support them in all ways- and plz tip all the ppl well. Bless! 🥲“

“All I can say is wow. The restaurant place is a bit small but their food is amazing. We were so full leaving. I really liked the atmosphere. The host was very accommodating. My mom loves dimsung and everything was closed but we found this place that had a little bit of everything on the menu. The milk tea was incrediblely delicious.“

“This used to be my go to lunch spot when I was attending school nearby, nowadays I still make a visit when I am in the area where I am craving for some good Chinese food. Their menu consists of appetizers, soups, individual entrees, noodles, fried rice, lunch specials and much more. Everything is made to order here which is always a plus for me and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and understanding where I had never encountered an issue during any of my visits. Everything is authentic here and adjustments are upon request. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of a quick bite when in the area, if you are willing to try something new or if you just so happen to be in the area. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“食物美味，环境优美，服务很棒，下次再来“

“Someone mentioned before that the lady behind the counter is the nicest human being ever.

I 1000 % agree. I’ve been their regular customer and been ordering chicken xiao mein 95% of the time.

The portion the price and service everything is amazing“

“The food was great, I liked it very much, I will go again next time“

“Nouvelle Asian cuisine. We enjoyed the tasting menu, which offered many delicious and artistically presented courses including two desserts, all for a reasonable (by San Francisco standards) $120 per person + drinks + taxes + tips, bringing the actual total to $200 per person.
The Happy Crane cocktail made is a gimlet style drink, small yet so tasty that one of us ordered two of them!
Each course was presented promptly. Understandably, given the rapid rise in popularity of this new dining spot, some of the wait staff appeared to be still in training. That said, servers were eager to please and friendly.“

“Everything is just great!!! From your time waiting till you’re served, is wonderful.“

“Good dumplings. We got the spicy pork and chive dumplings. The chive was a little more than the meat in the dumplings but overall quite good. Also got the dan dan noodles, which I prefer with a little more sichuan peppers and spicier but this was quite good. The onion pancakes were crispy and less oily than other places so overall quite good.

The service was quick and efficient.“

“I love this place. They’re always so kind,
While it’s super simple it’s pretty decent clean and definitely don’t go for the atmosphere so I just didn’t want them to have less than five stars cause they always are so kind and their food is always so good.:-)“

“The most authentic Hunan cuisine I've ever eaten!“

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

“Great flavors come off the woks at Nan King Road Bistro. The whole menu is worth ordering.“

“At Empero Taste, one comes for the food (quality and quantity). It is best to come dine as a group to enjoy a more varied selection of dishes. There is a special set menu that can be customized to suit party size and add-on’s. One can see families with multi-generations enjoying dinners at a table-family style.
Among notable dishes, Live fish is a specialty that can be enjoyed 3 ways. The pork chops are a hit (the portion is huge).“

“Great Food and Service will always come back when visiting San Francisco“

“Excellent, all around. The food continues to be delicious and plentiful. The owners (5 brothers) and a sister are exceptional. Brother #5 takes the time to meet with his patrons in the midst of cooking! A special place to dine.“

“California-style Cantonese cuisine! I really like the decoration style here, which always makes me feel better when dining here. The golden lotus chandelier and the gold and silver wire lamp are definitely the best decoration! 👍The pastries here are also worth mentioning! Pineapple buns, wife cakes, black sesame banana cakes with miso sugar!“

“Love the Special Combo chow main ❤️👍🏼“

“We dined in for a late lunch as a family of three. The yelp waitlist indicated a 10-20 minute wait and we were surprised to receive a text 5 minutes later.

Food came out hot and fresh. We ordered the Juicy Pork Bao, Pork Xiao Long Bao, Zha Jiang House Special Bean Paste with Mince Pork, Boiled Pork and Chive Dumplings and Fried Tofu.

While there is no separate kids menu, our thirteen month old loved his food so much that he stayed in his high chair for the duration of the meal.

Would highly recommend!“

“Definitely a newer restaurant, but it's honestly amazing.

The dumplings were super tasty, the skewers were delicious, and I think the entire experience was very authentic.

Also has a great atmosphere and reasonable prices. Be sure to check it out!“

“Good cheap fast delivery FRESH chinese food“

“The noodles that me and my mom ordered was a 10/10 and was so delicious!! I really miss going to this restaurant since it has been quite a bit and I’m so glad that I was finally able to go with my mom. I would really recommend this place if you love noodles (especially rice noodles) and I would definitely come here again when I can!! :3“

“Very good food“

“Our daughter is obsessed with soup dumplings which we found at Fusion Dumpling. The traditional pork were great, but try the black truffle and wagyu soup dumplings. You won't be disappointed!“

“Huge menu, big portions, reasonable prices, and the food is great. I've found it hard to find good salt-and-pepper tofu in the Bay Area so it was great to find that this place makes it very well. The tea they served was also a good one, a jasmine oolong

The one flaw I'll point out is that the dishes came pretty far apart time-wise. The first two were pretty fast and then the last two came out way later, after we had finished the first two

Overall, the menu, portions, prices, and food quality warrant 5 stars“

“Extremely fresh chinese food - top dishes for me are the Special Steak which is perfectly tender, the Tommy Fried rice, and the Steamed dim-sum. Always good - and quick.

Update:- years later, still a big fan. Super Chinese food that’s always consistently top notch and honestly as good as anything I’ve had in expensive Hong Kong or Beijing renowned eateries. Such a Sausalito gem and glad it’s a stones throw away!“

“Chang’s Kitchen is a hidden gem in San Francisco! Delicious food at an insane value — I highly recommend bringing some friends and splitting the family style combos, which comes out to about $20 per person for an ENORMOUS amount of food.

We got the Cantonese Dinner which had classic fried rice and sweet and sour pork, along with honey walnut shrimp (sooooo good), spring rolls, soup, and more! The fried chicken wings were perfectly crispy too. And the workers are very kind ☺️ Will definitely be back!“

“How nice to finally have an excellent Chinese restaurant in San Rafael. Nicely decorated, friendly and efficient service and delicious cuisine! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Loved everything there, especially my daughter. Will always come back!“

“They have so many soup options but was not in the mood for that so we got the dry noodles which were delish paired w the beef skewers. Pretty affordable too!! Also the owner was soooooo sweet 🥹 he gave us free sesame balls and was so accommodating during our stay.“

“This is another one of those hole in the wall joints that will always make you come back for more.
The place is nothing to look at, but it is clean, and God the dumplings and the beef brisket noodle soup were unbelievable. It is THE definition of northern Chinese comfort food. The amount of beef brisket in that dark decadent and rich soup was more than you can imagine. Probably the only thing that I have had in the SF area that actually meets the money value. If you couldn't get enough of it and too full to eat more, take the frozen ones home on the way out. Don't order the funky dumplings like Beef and Carrots, stick with the old school Pork and Cabbage, maybe Chives, you can't go wrong there.
There is no alcohol here, the only down side!“

“Went here Monday night with my wife and daughter after seeing the sights at the california academy of sciences. i'm a new york chinatown person, grew up in a cantonese household and would go to seafood restaurants to eat foods that we didn't make at home.

This place rocks.

We ordered the crab and fish maw soup. the best that we've had.
we also had clams in black bean sauce which was delicious
the roast duck was served with an amazing duck sauce (perfectly balanced, sweet with spice and acid)
Beef chow fun was delicious
Greens were great.

Place was clean and the bathrooms were awesome“
