14 Best Chinese Restaurants in National City

“Amazing food, everything was brought in a timely manner. Our server Ellie was outstanding she was so sweet and her service was unmatched. The food came hot and fresh and it was beyond good. Would absolutely come back again and recommend to friends“

“Solid Chinese restaurant. The salt and pepper chicken wings were so good. The fry on the outside is just perfectly crunchy while the inside is piping, hot and juicy and perfect amount of salt and spice.
Definitely the star of the show here.
Service was quick and efficient the food came out really fast.“

“Gone here a few times, their lunch specials are really good
Pictures is the BBQ pork, Crean cheese Wontons, and honey walnut shrimp.
On another occasion I tried their Broccoli beef and orange chicken
All of their dishes thus far have been great.
Everything is affordable and proportional to the ammount of food you get.
They are Cash Only though, but there is an ATM in the liquor store next door.
Staff has always been friendly, bathroom was clean“

“The Best Ever Chinese Restaurant I Have Ever Been To. My Tita's Loved It So Mucho!!!! 5 star Rating“

“After eating here I can't help but ask, " where have you been all my life?"
The Oriental Cafe offers generous portions for generous prices and unless you've fasted the whole day you will be bringing home Leftovers.
The staff is friendly and efficient as they tend to the constant flow of customers that filled the humble establishment.
Some may take mark down this Cafe for its simplistic decor; but others, like myself, find it charming. And after trying their dishes, it only adds delight to find a nice whole in the wall that let's their dishes speak for themselves.
I recommend dining in because you will get a serving of their egg drop soup and it is absolutely worth trying. It's hearty flavor reminds you of the soup you wish you had on a cold day or when you're feeling under the weather.
This is an establishment that deserves its business and I am already planning on coming back and bringing more family to experience it themselves.“

“This place is a hidden gem right off the freeway very easily to get to service is always outstanding doesn't matter who you are staff treat you like VIP love this place food is just absolutely phenomenal great date night place to go to“

“Really dope… low key local spot to grab a humongous portion of food for the low… and it’s bomb! I come once a week and the service is always impeccable. Whenever I bring a friend they feel like we robbed the place the plates are so generous.“

“Decided to give this place a try because there were a bunch of buy-one-get-one's on UberEats. Got the spicy orange chicken, broccoli beef, lo mein, cream cheese rangoons, and sweet & sour chicken (just an FYI, the sweet & sour chicken comes with the sauce already on the chicken). I really wasn't expecting much since there were no reviews and so many BOGO deals but I gotta say, Kim's outperforms other Chinese restaurants that are in the same price range. Hopefully they won't get rid of the BOGO deals anytime soon, cause I'll keep ordering as long as they are offered. I'm impressed!“

“My childhood restaurant. I started coming here since 2014. I still come here in 2024. The food is still good. The price for the food is the only problem since it’s a bit higher than before. People that served the food are very nice and chill.“

“The good
Good cheap food
Take advantage of daily specials

I had the orange chicken and house taste chicken

The bad
Only 1 person working. 1 person was in front of me,took forever. She order 2 different plates
Then he had to work on mine

He does not multi task“

“Classic..................“

“Bang for your buck on sushi. I always get sashimi platter and salt and pepper tofu. Ginza house noodles, orange chicken, all of it amazing.

Wait staff could use some training on service and how to look for tables that may need assistance. They seem to lose their way when they have more than 4 of 5 tables.“

“Tables are cleaned for next customers. The food display is clean, hot and fresh. Great variety of food, from Chinese to American food. They will be opened for thanksgiving. Dinner prices will be all day. $19.99 👍 Seniors remember to ask for your $1 discount.“

“Not once but a couple of times that Ms. Tammy went over and beyond her knowledge of Chowking products and her excellent customer service! I already love the food but with a variety of new entree and different types of Chicken preparation (Chinese style, popcorn, garlic chicken, etc), she has described them well. She is also on-point in guiding other staff about taking orders and monitoring timely completion of food packages. I’ve met her one time rushing in the morning for work and another on a tiring end of work night and her energy was still the same. Great with manners too over telephone order. Thank You Ms. Tammy and management.“
