14 Best Chinese Restaurants in National City

“Food is pretty good. Love the classic broth and sauces. It’s like instant hotpot with foods you picked by your own. This is authentic Chinese food. The waitress Vee is very hospital. She gave me a pair of chopstick as gift and some spring rolls.“

“This restaurant is a National City favorite and mainstay of available Asian-themed eateries. In an area with similar and competing food offerings, coming here for take out or dine in is worth the time. The menu offers items for lunch, dinner, and party trays. Of note, the crispy chicken wings are a very popular item.“

“My wife and I order the salt and pepper wings here to take to family parties all the time. The wings taste great, they complete the order fast and the prices are great. They are quite friendly as well. Highly recommend you order your salt and pepper wings here.“

“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“

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

“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 siomai was delicious! It was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The texture was just right, and it paired really well with the chili sauce and soy sauce. I ordered about 16 pieces of siomai and I was surprised with the price being so cheap. Definitely one of my favorite items at Chowking I’ll be ordering it again! The service (Kat) there was also great they worked really quick and they are very respectful.“

“The cook is a great guy. My man been going alot of years and he introduced me to the place. Not really a sit and eat type but I love the vegetables they have. The pricing for the salt and pepper wings is great &he runs specials like 2 get 1 free. When I’m feeding a lot of people it’s my go to place.“

“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.“

“Classic..................“

“The foods are very good and have a lot of options. I like the fried crabs and fried chicken here. Their sushi bar is also good and fruits and salad bar. They also have soups and ice cream machine. So far so good for affordable price. 4 star because of their bathrooms needs a little attention and need some TLC“

“The place has a lot of steaming cooking food in the back. But when we sat down, in the restaurant, the food isn't even the slightest bit warm. I told my daughter it'll taste better when she eats leftovers at home where she can heat it up. This is a bad experience that I've never had before. And the place is very busy so the food isn't just sitting around.“
