8 Best Chinese Restaurants in National City

“On business and stayed in National City. The hotel recommended this restaurant. They were right as the service was friendly and helpful. The food was really delicious with generous portions! Had a relaxing meal and even some leftovers for the next day. You will not be disappointed if you stop by here! The restaurant is a little older, but clean and well laid out. Definitely recommend it!“

“I love the food here! It's a South Bay staple. The salt and pepper wings are the favorite, they never disappoint. We also ordered Mongolian beef, cream cheese wontons, and the orange chicken. Everything was on point. Also, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive and kept our water full. You won't leave hungry if you order a family meal. I can't wait to come back. Eat up!!!“

“I am literally eating as I am writing about how amazing the food is at this place, first time having food at this place and the ladies at the front desk were incredibly kind to us since I think I made a mistake with the order and they made our food again, I felt so bad but they were still super nice. When we got home I knew only because of the great customer service I had to write a review but then we started eating the food and it is probably one of the best Chinese food we've ever had. Try the spicy szechuan beef, low mein, and the orange chicken. The sweet lady also gave us a conplimentary dish that I don't know exactly what it is (I believe a tofu dish), and it was also delicious. We will definitely be back, amazing customer service, and amazing food 10/10“

“Excellent food and staff. A must go to when we are in San Diego.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Man, the food is delicious. Be ready to wait for your order. If you don't want to wait, call ahead. Yang fry rice is off the chain ⛓️ ? last dish I ordered was the Black Bean ? ?. Good stuff. The house beef was very flavorful. Order ahead if you don't want to wait.“
