15 Best Chinese Restaurants in Mountain View

“The high reviews caught my eye. One thing to note is that the food though delicious was a bit too salty. We ordered like 7 dishes to share with 7 people family style but half of the dishes were just way too salty, even for my tastes when I personally enjoy heavily-salted foods. It could be a one-off but I also submitted this review for the free desserts (which is very nice and not too sweet).

Aside from that I would definitely give this restaurant a try again in the future if I hear that their salt levels were better balanced and accounted for.“

“We stopped by to get some soup on a cold Friday night and I'm so glad that we did. The soup was absolutely delicious. The noodles brought up childhood memories of my grandma's homemade noodles. The broth was very tasty and there were plenty of vegetables. My boyfriend had steamed buns with pork, he like them a lot. Very reasonably priced. We'll be back.“

“Vegan American Chinese cuisine in a strip mall. They make all the typical favorites using seitan to replace the meats and seafoods. They also have many vegetable and tofu based dishes.

The place is unimpressive looking, but the food was delicious. They also had a steady stream of customers both eating in the place and picking up food to take out. The service was good and the server was pleasant.

I had the corn and tofu soup and also the basil eggplant and tofu. The basil eggplant in particular was delicious and it came with plenty of tofu. The brown sauce was really tasty.

I would absolutely recommend this place and go again. Not fine dining but a good place to pick up a tasty meal, especially if you’re vegan or vegetarian! Recommended.“

“I had a great experience here! The rice noodles were delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with a rich, satisfying broth. The service was just as impressive: everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the meal. If you’re looking for tasty rice noodles and warm hospitality, I would definitely recommend this place. I’ll be coming back again!“

“A good Chinese restaurant with above average food. We tried the cabbage and pork boiled dumplings, the steamed pork soup dumplings, and the pan fried pork soup dumplings. The pan fried soup dumplings were the best – good flavor, crispy bottoms, and juicy soup inside. The boiled dumplings were only okay. I thought the pork filling for the boiled dumplings was a bit musky, and I found a piece of gristle in one dumpling. The steamed pork soup dumplings could have used more soup but were otherwise fine. We also ordered a side of cucumber salad, which was decent overall but a bit salty and garlicky. The service was brisk and professional. They brought us rice for no extra charge – a nice touch. We thought the atmosphere was pleasant overall, with warm lights and plants.“

“Understated hidden gem on Castro St. I often bring my friends and family here and they love the green beans, the XLBs, and the Shanghai pork fried dumplings. The temperature and skin of the dumplings are always fresh and hot. My favorite spot to go for dumplings, never disappoints.“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“Everything was delicious, especially the stinky tofu, pork intestine rice noodles, and lamb spine hot pot. The stinky tofu is the best I’ve had in the South Bay, and the seasoning on both the lamb spine hot pot and the rice noodles was just right. Highly recommend!“

“We have not been here in many years. What a pleasant surprise they still deliver the same great quality food and service. And now, they have outside seating too. They still have the traditional carts roaming around the dining room with delicious choices. We liked that the classic dimsum fare was still being served and they do not scrimp on portions, unlike many dimsum places in Millbrae and Daly City. The shu mai was juicy and large, as were the shiu bao. The tofu skin wrap had a lot of filling instead of several layers of tofu skin. The ham suy ko was plump and crisp on the outside but chewing on the inside with a good amount of filling. We came for a late lunch but they were still full. Their service was friendly but brisk and efficient. The place was clean and pleasant. We will be back!“

“This is our go to Chinese restaurant. We like it here because it is clean and food is great. The owner is very kind and welcoming. We can ask for our food to be adjusted to our taste which we appreciate as we don't like it too salty and must be without MSG. We always order here the fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and their soup. Parking is also no problem.“

“Came in at 3pm (very odd time) to have lunch with a friend. It was scrumptious as always and the best service I’ve had. Service can vary depending on group, it is a bit traditional regarding energy because they are never as quick with your order if you are an only women group as they are if you have a man or elder. Aka not a spot to go with the girls unless you’re coming when it’s slow!“

“We stopped here for a quick lunch and were very pleased with the chicken sizzler. Service was fast and the food was delicious without being oily.

The owners and staff are very friendly and polite, we would love to support this small business in the future.“

“Food was great - piping hot and super tasty. I'm a big fan of orange chicken. Sadly the ambience was terrible - one member of staff was on their break and was sat in the middle of the restaurant watching videos on their phone with the sound blasting. As there was also music playing in the restaurant it made for a horrendous noise.“

“The classic bone broth in the mildest option is not as delicious as YGF's beef broth, but of course it is still delicious.
But, Zhangliang offers a tom yum broth, so come if you're a tom yum lover.
Great variety of food to choose from, they have eggs and peeled shrimp and this chewy tofu.
1 pound limit, so come hungry!
Cashier/front table service was not the best; we stood there waiting for the dude to acknowledge us and measure our bowl. But the waiter service was good; they came frequently to refill our water.
Overall, still 5 stars because the food is too good“

“It's an older (almost hole in wall) type restaurant

I think it totally depends on what you order some things are solid (4 stars) and others are a bit lower

For example, I had kung pao, 3.5 before. Most of the dishes are 3-4 stars. Mongolian beef 3.5
Pork chop bento 3.75 stars

Today 10/2/25
We had beef stew and tendon 3.75 stars
The meat was really good but the broth, to me was ok. I have eaten at other Taiwanese beef noodle places. I just think their broth is better. It is very authentic but the flavor profile is not as tasty to me as other places

The general chicken was good solid 4 stars

Haven't had dim sum or weekend specials

Small place not too many tables 10 inside and 9 small two seaters patio outside“
