9 Best Chinese Restaurants near Montecito

“Very nice service and food. It was amazing and I really recommend the curry chicken of you like spicy food :). The restaurant is located right next to the highway and the door dash order screen kept beeping and it took them a long time to turn it off.“

“Six of us adults had fun selecting the food for the table. Everything was nicely prepared, clean tasting, easy on the tummy, and comfortably filling. We were well served, questions enthusiastically answered, and glasses were kept full. We met the new manager and easily give him five stars. If you haven't been there in a while, it is well worth a visit. Real Chinese food.“

“Best Chinese restaurant I've been to in a long time. The food is delicious, flavorful and the portions are huge. Our family loves going here when we are in town. The service is friendly and attentitive. We even made sure to go one last time before leaving town. Thank you for a great experience.“

“The sweet and sour pork at Shang Hai Restaurant is pure comfort food perfection—crispy, golden, and coated in that irresistible tangy-sweet sauce. One bite and you’ll understand why this place is a local favorite. Absolutely delicious! 🥢🍍“

“Best noodles I’ve ever had“

“China Pavilion is hands down one of my favorite restaurants ever, and absolutely my favorite place to get dim sum. The food and tea are always delicious and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Everything is delicious, but some of my favorites are the shrimp and chive pies, Szechuan wontons, baked bbq pork buns, and egg custard buns“

“I don’t know what’s better: the vibes, the food or the bartenders. We loved our experience here! Such a hidden gem off the beaten path. A local told us to try the Reuben egg rolls - I don’t even like corned beef - but we still got them, they were amazing. We got a second order and a cheese burger. Such a great spot and memory.“

“It’s just a regular Panda Express, though i would say some of my rice was a little bit dry but it didn’t bother me that much. Pretty cheap, good place to go if you’re a student like me. I paid $13 for a plate and a small drink, I could say that they could add more stuff to make the atmosphere less, plain?Staff was nice, another good thing is that this place is a lot less busy than the one in la cumbre since most people go all the way over there and forget there’s one in state but other than that, it’s just a normal Panda Express?“

“Great food, great service. Food comes out fast, hot and delish!“
