50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Mill Valley

“m speechless. I ordered takeout, and wow—I’ve always avoided Chinese food because I could never find something I actually liked. But this? Mamahuhu completely changed my mind. The sweet & sour cauliflower was incredible—crispy on the outside, and then it just melted in your mouth in the best way. I didn’t even know cauliflower could do that!

The presentation was surprisingly pretty for takeout, and you could tell the flavors were thoughtfully crafted. I never thought I’d enjoy Chinese-American cuisine, but Mamahuhu turned that around for me. Thanks for the amazing experience! :) :D =)

Vegetarian options: It’s a really good vegetarian menu however it’s not like the whole thing is vegetarian it’s a good 50 percent I would say“

“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.“

“All orders are pick only. Im very happy to have found this spot. Finding authentic food in the north bay is so hard. I've lived in Tiburon for 2 years now and it's been difficult to find quality, authentic ethnic food. It's tasty and super fast service. I ordered the Sweet & Spicy garlic chicken, green bean beef and garlic noodle. The noodles were pretty bland but the other dishes had a bit of sauce so I drizzled it over the noodles and all the flavors balanced out. The chicken was piping hot (which I love) there was lots of flavor and big chunky pieces of chicken. The green beans still had a nice crunch --soggy veggies are the worst.“

“Bbq pork buns were absolutely amazing 9.7/10 would 100% recommend only reason atmosphere is 4 stars is cause the sun was shining jn my eyes

Kid-friendliness: Food was very kid friendly with amazing simple flavors that were delicious“

“We had just read the top 100 BayArea restaurants and found the HK Lounge and decided to try it. I am so glad we did. It is one of the best dim sum I have eaten outside Hong Kong., Each item was freshly made, and tasted exactly like the ingredients that are. outlined. We loved the soft shell crab, the duck dumplings, outstanding, and the sticky rice in lotus leaf was beyond any one I have ever had, The restaurant is small but we had a reservation and it was honored in a timely fashion. It can be loud when it is full, we had a later time and it became quiter. The staff was kind and attentive. I can't see going anywhere else but HK Lounge.“

“Really enjoyed dinner at the Peking Duck, hard to get reservations but so worth wait, pre ordered half order of peking duck and absolutely worth the $48.00, ample serving for 2 people, next time we'll order the whole and take leftovers home,! with some sides all delicious! had a wonderful waitress Jenny who explained the food to us as it was served, how to eat the duck in wrappers, and some history behind the food. A great experience, delicious food, prices were on target, We're already planning on returning, will try during week as weekends are very busy. It looked like other diners ordered variety of foods to eat with the duck, which we did also, all complimented the duck. Very good value delicious food! Grandson dropped his ear pods and the young man cleaning our table ran after us to return! We are so impressed with Z&Y Peking Duck!“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“We were just walking around and looking for a good place to eat. Stumbled upon this spot. Don't be fooled by the handful of people eating during the mid afternoon time this place was fire! Their food was really good. Bit pricey compared to your regular Chinese food spot. But man it was worth it.

Kid-friendliness: Their staff was very patient with our toddler.“

“We stumbled upon this dumpling place and it exceeded our expectations. The menu is focused on small apps, lots of dumplings (boiled, pan fried, soup, XLB) options. We ordered cucumbers, crab puffs, boiled dumplings, XLB, pot stickers, beef noodle soup. Everything was fresh, well seasoned…it reminded us of my mom’s cooking. We didn’t finish some of our dumplings, brought them home and they tasted great even heated with a microwave.

The atmosphere was easy, unpretentious, family friendly, clean. Service was courteous and prompt. We loved our first visit and will definitely be back to try many more dishes.

They also sell frozen dumplings to cook at home!

Kid-friendliness: Casual environment, clean restaurant, clean restrooms. Kids can watch chefs make dumplings.“

“It was getting late and a Monday, not knowing the city very well we literally stumbled upon this place, I’m so happy we did. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food came out quicker than I ever expected, and it was hot and delicious. Probably some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had.. Next time I visit from Southern California this place is the top of my list.“

“My wife is Shanghainese, and this is her favorite restaurant. My daughter’s too!

We love especially their (these are some of the most famous dishes in Shanghai cuisine)
- Shanghai style stir-fried shrimps
- Soft tofu in crab sauce
- steamed rice with bacon and vegetable (comes in a clay pot)

The staff is kind and unfailingly sweet to our kids.“

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

“This place is a gem. The owners are sweet, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is unique and cozy.

The rice is also yummy here. Big portions, fair price.

10/10 recommend the General Tso Tofu. It’s on the sweet side comparatively, but they can make it spicier on request.“

“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.“

“This little unassuming restaurant is the real deal for good dumplings and beef noodles soup. Reminds me of comfort foods I can get in Taiwan. Expect a line at popular times.

I hate Google reviews overhyping restaurants when most reviewers wouldn’t know good Asian food if it kicked them in the butt. This place is better. I hope I’m not over hyped this place. 😊“

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

“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! 🥲“

“OMG THIS CHICKEN SANDWICH. MY GOD, THE CHICKEN SANDWICH. It might’ve been the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in my life, don’t walk, RUN to eat it. I got the umami version, it comes on a bolo bao which is lightly fried on the bottom, the chicken is deeply fried and perfectly crunchy and perfectly crispy and perfectly juicy and that mayo is the perfect amount and complement - have I used the word perfect enough? And putting it on a bolo bao is GENIUS. also got the potstickers sides (good, nothing to write home about) and the malted sundae (great and still not sure what it was - it had some chocolate on it - but it was tasty and I appreciate that it’s in lactose-free oat milk for Asian stomachs).

Service was amazing, they explained the menu and the differences between the sandwiches and entertained my questions about the name. Great vibes. Already trying to scheme how I can make it out there again“

“食物美味，环境优美，服务很棒，下次再来“

“Dined here on 1-22-25! Recommend by my wife who ate here with a Postal Staff party. Food portions were outstanding and very tasty! All the staff were friendly and very accommodating. Will definitely come back, as it's hard to find good Chinese food with such generous portions!! Looking at the customers , they seemed to be all regulars returning to such a good place to eat! I definitely found a little gold mine, and almost want to be secretive about this place!!
Thanks,
Paul C“

“Very good vegetarian options and reasonable prices as well. I got the veg bao buns and the fried rice. The fried rice is really good and the bao buns are good with sauce.

Vegetarian options: There are a couple of vegetarian options on the menu.“

“The dumplings are really tasty. The interior and overall atmosphere are great.

I felt that it was a bit overpriced, and they have only one toilet with a constant line(hence 4 stars).

I can recommend if you not planning to use their bathroom.“

“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!“

“This is a nice addition to Clemente Street for spicy hot pot of various varieties. Malatang the numbing Chinese flavor was our draw in to the store, but they have many other versions of soups such as laksa and tom yum. The beef broth was a little weak, but the numbing flavor was quite strong. You pick all of your ingredients and we enjoyed all except we found we didn't like the yam noodles. The staff was really nice and helpful and the interior was modern yet with a little bit of classic Chinese art. Really looking forward to trying this place again and trying the other flavors and ingredients. We are omnivores but we would like to come back and try it with totally vegan soup and ingredients option.“

“Came here for the Taiwanese popcorn chicken and it was incredible. Only giving it four out of five stars because it was missing the fried Thai basil that typically comes with it and also needed the chili powder. Otherwise it was a really delicious snack.“

“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.“

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

“We passed through on our way back to the airport for a quick dinner. Lily is the nicest person and she gave us plates and chopsticks and silverware. I wish we could move back but I’m glad I could grab some food from her. I can’t wait for our next visit.“

“Came here with my boyfriend and it was a great chill date spot!

Good:
- The value of the family dinner is insane - we got the Hong Kong style and it came with like 5 different dishes
- I liked the eggroll, very crispy and came with a super tasty sauce
- The fried rice was really good
- We ended up with so much food we had another meal to bring home - and for less than $20 each!
- Service was incredibly fast and also they were very nice

Bad:
- It's a bit hectic inside since it gets busy!

Overall, it was such a good deal and the staff were really efficient and nice and would come back!“

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

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

“One of my go-to delivery spots. My favorite dishes have to be the Broccoli Chicken and the Sesame Chicken, both of which have super crisp vegetables and a good portion of meat.

They also make a pretty good (and spicy) Kung Pao Chicken and General Tso’s Chicken, and a fairly soupy Kung Pao Three Combo.“

“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“

“Decent Chinese skewer place with very reasonable price. I like that each skewer is smaller but there are 5 skewers in each order, so it’s easier to share and try many different things. We tried lamb, beef, chicken thigh, squid and tofu that are all good.

Chicken wing could use more seasoning inside to get rid of the meat flavor.

Highly recommend the bbq eggplant! Crispy and well seasoned with cumin, garlic and other spices. The noodle texture was really good too and felt very fresh.“

“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“

“Good cheap fast delivery FRESH chinese food“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Love the Special Combo chow main ❤️👍🏼“

“The food is very tasty, depending on what u order. The dishes in the clay pot are very flavorful, but the dishes in the lotus leaves were lacking some flavor and sauce. Their veggies were cooked to perfection... Definitely worth a try! My favorite is #3.“

“Came in looking for dumplings and that’s exactly what we got. They reminded me of eating at grandmas house, always so good.

I was surprised to enjoy the shrimp dumplings (we got the ones with egg and chives) because I usually can’t stand the texture but both that and the flavor were spectacular, I’d say even better than the pork. It’s an outstanding hole in the wall, I don’t care what it looks like because it soothed my soul. Thank you for a delicious homestyle meal and kind service.“

“My husband and I came across your Chestnut location this past weekend! What a wonderful find. The VERY nice gentleman that served us, the best dumplings - I highly recommend the Spicy Sichuan Wontons in Red Oil. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Very good food“

“Yummy spring rolls, veggie fried rice & sesame chicken. I tried their mustard sauce & it was heavy on horseradish which I love.“

“A hidden gem, food was really good and arrived fast, really filling and budget friendly.Because the place is kinda hidden in a building, it was a little empty but the service and atmosphere was really nice.We ordered a beef chow fun, a garlic chicken dish (?) and assorted appetizers.The beef chow fun was so good we could have called it the best affordable in town, the beef is tender and tasty and the flat noodles are nicely sauced; the garlic chicken dish was our least favorite because of the amount of vegetables which we weren't a fan of, the assorted appetizers was a good sharing plate with a little of every appetizer, each tasty in their own way. The waitress was patient and really nice.The street it's located in has a bunch of stuff to do and more things a few streets away as well. We had a really nice time at the restaurant and afterwards as well.recommended.“

“The best hot pot ever this is my second time with my family and we love it. The only problem is the parking it take us 30 minutes looking for parking.“

“Such a great noodle spot! Noodles are comforting and hearty. Service was wonderful. Came here with a group and we were seated and food came so quickly.

I am vegetarian and there were a number of options on the menu for me, also loved the milk tea drink menu.“

“The salt and pepper fish was my favorite. We also got the sesame chicken, on the request of a 10 year old. It was sweet and good. The YH Chow mein was also great, and the veggie delight mix of veggies was also great. The best parts of the veggies was the sliced mushrooms, and the asparagus. The black buns with the salted egg custard were top notch as well. I enjoyed all of it. But seriously, the fish was perfectly fried, light and fluffy, the salt was on point, and the thinly sliced jalapenos were a perfect foil for the saltiness of the fried fish. If I went by myself, and could only get one thing, it would probably be the chow mein. But if I could get a lunch special, it would be the salt and pepper fish, some veggies, and some steamed rice. Done and dusted.“
