50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Moraga

“The best service ever. Delicious food. 💯 recommend“

“I had their General Tso's chicken with a side of steamed rice, and it was super good! The amount was enough to fill up up and I still have about a lunch portion left.

Definitely plan on coming back. You know a place is good when you're willing to drive 30 minutes to eat there.“

“We were visiting a friend in Moraga and stopped by for dinner. Based on the recommendations, we ordered seafood soup, salt and pepper fish, and asparagus chicken. We were very pleased and all the dishes were excellent. Service was wonderful and attentive. Highly recommended.“

“I enjoy this restaurant very much. The food is excellent and fresh. it’s served hot every time. The servers can speed up with taking orders but otherwise, they are o.k. The restaurant is ok. The seating is too close for me but I get it. There’s No parking. It’s excellent.“

“I real hole in the wall. No big sign so you have to know.

The best jianbing I've had outside of China. Crispy and not too salty. My wife said it's authentic Tianjin style.

The soy milk was amazing! Very smooth and slightly sweet even though it wasn't sweetened. No burnt taste.

Alas, he was out of tea eggs.

Friendly.“

“FYI: Not a Malatang spot anymore. Google gotta fix that.

Really really good food.

Orange chicken was nice and crispy, good cuts and well trimmed.

Cumin beef was tasty, well spiced, and had a good amount of fresh ingredients.

Chow Mein was really nice as well. I think it was chicken and minced pork belly. Pork belly was well spiced and the noodles werent too oily. Cabbage had some nice browning on it.

Steamed dumplings were good. I cant think of anything specific to say but definitely tasty and fresh.

Cute place. Definitely a family run place, nice and cozy. Will be my go to when I want Chinese. Highly recommend you give it a try.“

“Best Chinese food in Contra Costa County. Totally Authentic Sezchuan style. A must try for anyone who loves great flavors.“

“Such a special gem of a place! Perfect for group dinners too (make reservations!)- we celebrated the lunar new year with a vegan Chinese new year dinner here in their cozy dining room with such good vibes, and unique authentic dishes like lotus root and lychee in the sweet & sour seitan dish 🤯

It’s big enough to have a large group table (we had 12) and quiet enough to feel like you’re all celebrating together. This is very hard to find in the bay!

Grateful this place exists, bringing such good vibes and animal love to Oakland ♥️“

“This is one of my two favorite Chinese places in the Bay Area. I've been going there for like 15 years, miss them a lot when I'm in DC working. It's a very affordable place, the lunch deluxe deal is unbeatable. They can also do dishes that are not in the menu for the connoisseurs like pak chit kai, the traditional steamed half hen with a tangy and tasty ginger garlic scallion condiment. It's no frills, but we are not here for a Michelin experience but to eat really delish Chinese Cantonese plates. And the owners are always really nice and they speak Spanish (at least some, and they are funny)“

“Excellent! Tonight was one of the best meals we’ve had here and are so happy to be able to continue to support the restaurant. So thank you for some of the most fresh best tasting Chinese food in Walnut Creek!“

“The cook came out to chat with us! Yummy food!“

“I love their beef noodles! And the meat is not too bad - not chewy/fatty. Could use extra veggies or add a little more but otherwise it's ok. The morning silog are great! My daughter loves bangus so she orders bangus silog. We can't order bangus anywhere else (main stream restaurant) so this a treat for her. Breakfast has limited time so make sure to get there before it ends. My daughter and I order sesame balls to take home and eats halohalo for dessert (summer time treat) afterwards. We also order taho for winter treat to finished off our visit. This store is like a fast food place - first you order and pay for your food at the counter. Then wait for your food to call in and enjoy your food either eat-in or take out. Just like any other fast food restaurants.

I recommend for you to try it“

“Highly recommend their beef noodle. Freshly pulled noodle and consistent high quality with the broth and beef. Always have a better experience here than they sister shop in Fremont, and I'd prioritize a stop here every time I come to Concord. Other dishes are decent too. Can get crowdy especially during peak hours, so expect a queue!“

“This place is tucked away on Park Street and is definitely a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that serves no-frills Chinese food. The atmosphere is quiet and casual, making it a comfortable spot for a low-key meal.
One of the must-haves to order here is the cucumber salad. We also tried the zhajiangmian and the braised pork over rice bowl, both of which were very tasty with a lot of flavor. What I appreciated most was the portion sizes; they're satisfying without leaving you overly full.
The service was really good, with staff who are very helpful in guiding you through the menu. The restaurant recently changed ownership, which seems to have improved the overall experience.
The pricing is very affordable, especially given how expensive eating out has become these days – this place offers the best value. I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a tasty and affordable meal while craving Chinese food.
A few things to note: street parking is the easiest option in the neighborhood“

“The Dumplings are amazing!“

“At this location, the fried garlic is served separately—a detail I truly appreciate. I also really enjoy their thin egg noodles, which strike a perfect balance between chewy and tender without becoming overly soft. However, the dish tends to be quite oily, so if you prefer lighter meals, this might not be ideal for you.

My usual order is the Number 1 without kidney, with the soup served on the side. I also always add fish cake as an appetizer. The total cost for two regular dishes plus one appetizer comes to $53.75.

What I love about this restaurant is how it evokes the authentic flavors of Thailand’s street food, especially the dry yellow egg noodles. While it doesn’t include traditional Thai-style char siu or wontons, the taste remains quite close to home.

This well-established Chinese restaurant impresses me with its surprisingly clean restrooms, likely due to my morning visits. Parking can be difficult, as only metered street parking is available. The branch tends to be busy, so clear communication with staff is important. Although there may be a short wait, the service is attentive and friendly.“

“I’ve found my new favorite restaurant. The hand-pulled noodles are made right on-site and it completely changes the game—they have the perfect texture and bite. I started with the dumpling soup, which was full of flavor, and then went for the spicy chicken noodles. They had just the right kick of spice and that wonderful doughy chew you hope for in good noodles.

The Shan Dong chicken was another highlight. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the breading-to-chicken ratio is perfect—every bite has that satisfying crunch. The combination of fresh noodles, flavorful dumplings, and crispy chicken makes this place so worth it. It’s easy to see why it’s quickly become one of my favorites. Everything we tried hit the mark, and I can’t wait to go back and explore even more of the menu.“

“I enjoyed my Meal. I found the service excellent and Ti curry yum.“

“I ordered three orders of chow mein for my kid’s birthday party. They served them all in one big aluminum tray and it was enough for about 9 small servings.

I was really thrilled. The quality of the chow mein is outstanding, and they really made it easy for me to order the day before and serve it hot. I will definitely be ordering here again.“

“Great Asian delicacies in warm hospitable atmosphere.

Foods are homy and they have variety of choices such as different meat, vegetarian and seafoods.

The meals are priced reasonably low and their tea pots are yummy.“

“Reasonably priced tasty dinner of Shanghai Soup Dumplings, Sweet fried chicken wings, and beef stew noodle soup. Delicate XLB and juicy. Wings were crunchy, meaty, and lightly battered and fried. It’s one of our “go to places” for Chinese food in Alameda. Small local neighborhood place with nice service.“

“Stunning experience. It is elevated modern restaurant with Chinese cuisine offers short, creative menu of craft and delicious dishes. We’ve got chili wontons as appetizer, black bean chicken and mapo tofu as entrees. Everything were delicious, full of flavors, beautifully presented. Don’t forget their take on craft cocktails! Outstanding and friendly service was on point - checked us at very right moments. Will definitely visit again. Good for both family and romantic dinners!“

“Will miss the place“

“Very small restaurant, I only order to go.
Absolutely my favorite Chinese food in Walnut Creek and pleasant hill. No one else comes close.
The flavors from their wok are perfect, the sauces are spot on, and the portions are generous.“

“i been to this restaurant many times al the people who work there make you feel like home the food always delicious always . they very fast with everything and they clean and they always serving the food more than enough. i love this restaurant i highly recommended them for anybody’s looking to have a great Chinese food“

“I got the romano beans and the fried chicken. I didn't know the fried chicken was chicken wings--- which it doesn't say and I don't like, but I ate it anyway. Wanted to try the chocolate cake (which is on the online menu) but it wasn't on the menu anymore. Will come back to try other things another time. Good service and nice ambience.“

“Highly recommend this spot.

This is the style I grew up eating and I’m so glad I live walking distance. Prices are also very reasonable!

There is only one table so I would expect to just take out instead. This isn’t really a dine in place.“

“First time visit. We thought we'd give it a try after driving by a billion times. Your basic Chinese steam table with the added menu if you want to dine in, They have a whole bunch of dining tables for that purpose, although the food will be served to you as takeout on a tray. Not a problem. Staff is very courteous and friendly, I think they are the main asset.
The food. Lemon chicken was really lemon chicken. My God what a concept. Usually it's some horrible syrupy thing but very much lemony tasty and the chicken was tender. No chicken jerky.
Really good. Vegetable fried rice, fluffy and tasty with veggies.
String bean tofu isa little problematic. It did taste good but a third of the container was sauce. Other than that it was a nice experience. Plus a soda and a $3 tip, the whole thing came to about 42 bucks. They have four different combo plates ranging from the $9 range to $12 range, they also have two egg rolls for $1.99 If you're looking for a quick bite to grab, I would say do it.
Steam table also had some nice veggie dishes that I didn't get to, broccoli, beef and a veggie and shrimp. That'll be for next time. All in all pretty decent and we will probably return now and then. We don't usually eat much Chinese up in the San Leandro area, we're usually at Porky's or somewhere else. But this was good. Nice surprise“

“Looking for Valentine's dinner with family and came here as the places we wanted to go were packed. But so glad we did as the food was beyond expectation. We started out with the corn chowder soup ..excellent and best we've had anywhere. Ordered Salt and Pepper Fish with slices of onions and peppers, Orange Chicken with a tangy sweet unique flavor, honey walnut prawns, and shrimp fried rice. All were excellent and we'll definitely be back. I'd drive across town just for the corn chowder.“

“traveling and yelped this .. just go..“

“Peony Garden is one of the best spots for delicious Chinese food, especially if you love dim sum and seafood dishes. The service is friendly, fast, and attentive, making the dining experience even better.

Their dim sum is fresh, flavorful, and served hot—perfect for sharing with family and friends. The claypot seafood dishes are a must-try, packed with rich flavors and quality ingredients. You can really taste the freshness in every bite.

Whether you’re stopping in for weekend dim sum or a relaxing dinner, Peony Garden offers great food, warm hospitality, and an authentic taste of Chinese cuisine. Highly recommended—support this wonderful local restaurant!“

“Nice atmosphere but the best part is the food. Great selection with some hard to find items. They definitely know how to spice the food - can’t be beat“

“We’ve been to Szechuan restaurant several times, both dine in and take out. The food is always great and the staff is very friendly. Last night’s meal was particularly good. We ordered a couple of new dishes which were yesterday‘s specials. One had eggplant and chicken and the other was some fish dish. We had it as take out for a dozen guests at home. All of our guests were complimenting the food and asking where we got it from. Thank you Szechwan Restaurant.“

“Yummy Chinese food! Potstickers are made fresh

Vegetarian options: vegetarian options available

Dietary restrictions: vegetarian options available, but it is an asian restaurant so dont expect a whole bunch of options for dietary restrictions like Kosher, vegan, nut free etc

Parking: located on the corner of a street, a couple of parking spots available

Kid-friendliness: kid friendly but a lot of spicy dishes

Wheelchair accessibility: not wheelchair accessible, need to go up stairs“

“Finding an excellent Chinese food place has always been very difficult for me out here , but not these guys you can tell the food is curated with passion and love. Everyone from the girl who attended to the cooks did an amazing job, thanks for feeding me and these big portions, so delicious. God bless“

“The food was good as usual. It was not very busy for a Sunday but the staff looked tired and not very enthusiastic. They should enforce dress codes for servers. The floors were sticky when you walk into the restaurant. The water glassed were plastic instead of glass. The restaurant needs deep cleaning and freshen up the atmospher. You can see all the storage freezers when sitting in the dining room when they can be hidden with a decor curtain or a trifold divider. They don't bring the bill to the table or accept payment at the table only at the cashier which is weird for a sit down facility“

“Been going here for 20 years. Never a bad meal!“

“You can never go wrong with Ming's!

I've been here for their lunch special a half-dozen times over the past year, and it's been consistently excellent. Great price for the amount of food, and every entree I have ordered has been great, especially the spicy eggplant with tofu. The portions are very generous too - my wife and I always end up bringing home leftovers.

My family and I often order takeout for dinner here as well, and again, have never been disappointed. Everything is exceptionally fresh - the veggie and seafood options are my favorites.“

“Excellent service and the food was delicious.“

“Excellent house-made noodles!“

“A great spot for authentic Hong Kong-style food! The flavors really remind me of home — everything tasted fresh and comforting. The menu has a good variety, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size. Service was quick and friendly too. Definitely a go-to place if you’re craving Hong Kong-style dishes without breaking the bank.“

“目前最喜歡的螺絲粉😍😋“

“Spectacular food. I mean Spectacular. And I love the small restaurant ambiance of simplicity on Clayton Rd. Authentic and creative food, with modern American style too. If you're looking for great Chinese food and a great menu too choose from this is the place!!“

“This place is hands down one of the best Chinese food I’ve had in CA. Taste and flavor is there and food is very fresh. I don’t understand why there’s bad reviews because it doesn’t reflect what I’ve had here. There’s just one guy serving tables here, so service can take a bit when they’re busy. But it’s worth it. Don’t miss out because you see a few bad reviews. In the Bay Area over all, most Chinese food tastes so watered down and lacks flavor. This place is great.“

“Food is excellent! Easy to order and take out and glad they remained open during Pandemic period. It was our "go-to" place for good food.“

“Was looking for a place to eat on my birthday new years day, my stepbro picked it out, he said he ate there 20 yrs ago, I was reluctant as it looked outdated and empty,but I was surprised when the food came in quickly, the staff was friendly and the plates of food were huge! I kept asking my bro if he accidentally ordered family size, nope. We ordered egg rolls, 1 order must have had 10 pieces! Delicious spare ribs, wonton soup, honey walnut prawns (jumbo!) Mongolian beef, they gave us almond cookies instead of fortune, that was a nice change,there was so much food leftover to take home, I'll be going back, I don't know how they can afford to give so much for so little $, very reasonable.the only thing was the place was so cold, we were both freezing. no heat!“

“I was so happy to have this restaurant open up a location in Berkeley. I've been to the original in Bellevue Seattle as well as their other locations in Seattle and here in the Bay Area since I enjoy their food so much. However, I think the Berkeley restaurant needs to work on the consistency of their dishes as compared to their other locations. I ordered the Mala Spicy Noodles last night and it was half lettuce instead of noodles with lettuce garnish. Fortunately, I asked and they graciously re-fired another order for me with less lettuce but when it arrived, they had the lettuce correct but now it also had less mala spice. I'll check again in a few weeks and will gladly change this review to a 5 star rating if they have the consistency fixed.“

“Great food and we will definitely visit again“

“East Oakland hood staple for dry fried ribs, chow mein, sweet & sour, and everything Chinese food. It's an old school hole in the wall. Mom and Pops owned joint. Food is always good, affordable, and on point.
They have Combo meals for a nice and fair price.“

“I've been coming to Thanh Ky since forever. You'll always see OG's eating here. And yes, this is a hole in the wall spot.

The staff are nice and the owner is always friendly. The noodle soup always hit the spot when I'm craving for noodles! 😋

They accept cash only.“
