34 Best Chinese Restaurants in Milpitas

“I recently tried Mala Town 麻辣烫, and it was a fantastic experience. The best part is being able to customize your own bowl — you pick exactly what ingredients you want, from fresh vegetables and tofu to different meats and noodles. Everything tasted very fresh and the variety of options was great.

The broth was rich, aromatic, and perfectly spicy. It had that authentic Sichuan-style mala flavor — numbing, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. You can also adjust the spice level, which makes it great whether you prefer mild or extra spicy.

The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The restaurant was clean and well organized, making the whole experience very comfortable. It’s a great spot if you’re craving authentic Chinese comfort food.

Overall, Mala Town is a great place for flavorful, customizable mala tang. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Food are delicious. especially their soup. friendly staff and clean restaurant“

“The service was great, food was brought out quick and all of it was so delicious. Will be back again.“

“firts time to have chowking in california united states of america its like im back in my homeland phillipines sarap“

“Price is $15.99/lb with the many options for the broth. Malatang has gotten very popular recently and feels similar to hot pot. You get a decent amount of food if you only eat 1 lb of food.

The space in the restaurant is on the smaller side, but the wait time is short. You grab a bowl and go down the line while picking up the ingredients you want into your bowl. At the end, the cashier weighs the bowl to determine how much to pay.

Wait time for them to cook the food and bring it out to you is very quick, which helps bring down the wait time. I enjoyed the beef broth but spice level was high for me personally at the mild level.“

“Food is good and service is nice and warm. I will bring friends come again definitely!“

“My friend Bobby Yang brought me here to this Amazing place. The food was delicious, savory and tasty. The service was quick attentive, prompt even when it was busy. We had a couple different choices of skewers and above all, the star of the show was the bbq fish. If you're looking for authentic Chinese flavors, I recommend this place.“

“Such a great find! Jun Bistro delivers authentic Yunnan flavors with a modern touch. The dishes were flavorful without being overly spicy or greasy, which we really appreciated.

Perfect for a casual lunch and very friendly for families too. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the overall experience felt warm and welcoming. Highly recommend if you want something different from the usual Chinese fare!“

“We came with friends. Love their soup dumplings, all pan fried buns, chill beef and all vegetable dishes.Great food and service as usual. I have brought different groups of friends. They all love the place and keep coming back. I love the settings decoration and background music. Great places to bring families and friends.“

“The noodles are absolutely authentic, the broth used bought out the flavors of the dishes. The BBQ lamb stick is too lean (opportunity to improve, or have the customer to select fatty or lean lamb meats).
Overall surprisingly tasty, great services and excellent experience!“

“It's a very busy place on a Saturday night, so expect some waiting time. It's authentic and flavorful Xiang Chinese Hunan cuisine, not the typical oily American Chinese food. I would highly recommend this place. It's not too spicy and even my kids could eat all the different dishes that I ordered. So those who complained about the spiciness level definitely had zero tolerance towards spice. The food is very well flavored and appetizing. This place is for true foodies who are willing to try a cuisine which is different from their usual Chinese American food.“

“Food here tasted great at first but as you eat it, it just starts to not taste as good. In my opinion the flavors were too strong that it hits you in the face or leaves a strange after taste to it(could just be the spices or seasoning they use).

We got the beef spicy noodle soup, ground pork noodle, num pork ribs, soup dumplings both shrimp and pork. I will say that the shrimp&pork dumpling were amazing and what would make me to want to come back for which exceeded my expectations. There were some veggies in the num pork ribs, not sure what they were, maybe mushrooms that has a wrinkled sort of dried cabbage looking texture that was also very good. I just skipped the ribs and ate those. My cousin enjoyed the ribs a lot though, but the seasoning is a bit too strong for me considering I love strong sishuan peppercorns like from hot pot. Overall, food was ok, generous portions and if I came back, its for the soup dumplings and maybe to try other dishes. Definitely need more water though.“

“The service was quick and fast and we got our food in about less then 20 minutes. The food was delicious and the broth was perfect

(I would also like to put that the food aroma the first thing you enter the restaurant is absolutely amazing and the food plating is fantastic)“

“Fantastic spot for Shanghainese food. Went here for dinner a few days ago and got sauteed sliced pork with pepper and chili and sauteed eggplant with potato and green bell pepper. Both were very flavourful, fresh, and well portioned. The pork was especially good, being very tender and flavourful. I'll definitely be back.“

“nice people and good authentic taiwenese food“

“They offer a great variety of pastries, focusing on northern Chinese-style baked goods. Their prices are reasonable, especially for my favorite dumplings. They often have additional promotions.

Parking: It's at a huge plaza. There are plenty parking spaces.“

“It's still good as always, provided me witha basic noodle soup. Some saud it's bland, but to me that's the best part, since I can flavor my own soup the way I like it.

I am curious... The meatball flavor has always been very consistent, but it has been hit-miss the past few months.“

“This is arguably the most authentic Guangxi rice noodles in the Bay Area. Not only does the laoyou noodles come in both versions – with and without tomato (adding tomato is a very nostalgic, old-school Nanning style) – but they also offer classic Guangxi toppings such as fried egg.

Given that much of the Bay Area Chinese food scene tends to prioritize shortcuts and marketing over substance, genuinely serious places like this often struggle to survive. I hope more people will support this owner, who is clearly doing things the right way.“

“The free Suan cai yu on birthdays is such a great deal!! In addition to that, we ordered roasted duck and the chicken. All tasted really good. My expectation for the Suan cai yu was low cuz it was free but it turned out to be good as well!! Great place to spend and celebrate birthdays“

“Good food and very clean restaurant“

“Not surprisingly for a Bay Area spot that’s been around for 15 years, both the flavor and overall quality are really solid, and the value is genuinely great. This time I got to try several of their new dishes, and honestly they were all surprisingly good. The flavors felt very authentic — not the kind of “new dishes” that were added just for the sake of launching something new, but dishes you can tell were carefully developed. Overall, everything from the taste to the pricing felt really satisfying. It’s the kind of place you quietly remember after the meal and know you’ll come back to. And the owner is genuinely so nice!!!!“

“Awesome food with a great price!“

“You need to reserve the duck in advance. Roasted duck has no scents at all, very tasty and tender. They will cut duck slices in front of you. The left bones can be made as soup or pepper salt fried one based on your preference. Will visit again. The salad sauce contains too much mustard, I don’t like it personally. Will visit again.“

“A hidden gem in town that offers great food with good portions. We came here for the highly rated crispy pork, which is sweet and tangy, but we’re impressed with how good everything is. The spareribs, braised pork belly and pork feet were all amazing and flavorful. I love how they’re rich in flavor. Definitely a great place to come back to.“

“More interesting and better at night than boba.

Lots of mango jellies, yogurts, etc for $8. Something sure to please everyone with some options sweeter than others. Fairly quick and consisent. Never a long line but always busy.

Good spot after eating at a resturant in the plaza.“

“I would like to start by saying, this was some of the best Chinese food my family and I have ever had. The service was not the greatest. When I walked in, nobody helped me for about five minutes. Someone walked out from the kitchen to help me with my pick up order, it was scheduled for 5:25pm. The person that helped me said, “it’ll be right out.” I had to wait fifteen minutes for an order I placed online, ahead of time. The saving grace, was the food. Everything was packed with flavor!“

“I like the ambiance of this restaurant. The color scheme, furniture, and dishware are really pretty. It's a pleasant place to dine. Unfortunately, the food and prices make it not worth it to me. The flavors feel off, like lacking seasoning or not the right balance of flavors. The beijing It's hard to justify paying such high prices for dishes that don't hit the mark. It's a shame because the menu looked really good and I like the variety of dishes this place serves.“

“Good fried chicken wings. Salt pepper fish is also good but with a little too much batter. Hot and delicious made to order to go place. Cash only. Many party tray choices.

Parking: Maybe hard to find during dinner hours. Some spots are extremely narrow.“

“This is the best Buffet that I have visited. I used to love Sweet Tomatoes but once they no longer had locations in the Bay Area, I found this place and it's just an awesome place. Great food and they have a wide variety of food. They have BBQ chicken, chow mein, fried rice, fish, salad, crab, clams, soup (sweet and sour is my favorite), fruit, sushi, frozen yogurt and this is only some of the food that they have available. And the cost is very reasonable for all the food and variety that is made available to you. If you've never been here, I would highly recommend that you come here at least one time so that you can experience the atmosphere here and see all that's available to you! I'm pretty sure that you won't be disappointed!“

“My favorite authentic pot rice place in Bay Area. Clean and easy order via phone. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I've gone to this location multiple times and it usually is always decent. I am vegetarian so I take half noodles half rice, eggplant tofu, and the veggie spring rolls. Everything tastes good but sometimes the eggplant could be more tender and more flavor. The sauce is sometimes watery. Overall I am a big fan, I love Panda Express. The portions are decent, I think it matters on who is taking your order. Overall definitely to recommend as it is fast service and tasty!“

“Great food, definitely going back here to eat with my family!!! 🤙🏼 my kids always eat here!“

“This place brings back memories of Taiwan - Great food, reasonable price, friendly and down to earth service. It was busy when we visited, so it felt hectic and rushed. Overall good value

Parking: Parking can be tight during peak time. Need some patience and circle around“
