49 Best Chinese Restaurants near Pacheco

“Omg my goodness I have loved Chinese food since i was a kid. I have spent the past 2 years looking for good fried rice. And this place hit the spot. Omg sooo good. I want to have my 40th birthday there what is the capacity! So i did host my 40th birthday here had about 50 of my friends join me. And the staff and the owner went above and beyond for me and my people! The owner got me balloons and a bottle of wine. They made a special tea just for me and they gave us so much food! It was the best experience ever!“

“Came in around 8:30am on a saturday, no problems with parking (free parking lot), immediately being able to order and getting a seat.

Food was great, had the chaofan honey walnut shrimp and chaofan siomai. Also had a dessert of ube taho and mais con yelo. Very nice.

Service was lovely, staff were friendly and helpful. Orders were smooth and the wait for the food to be ready was reasonable.

Atmosphere was great, the place was clean and no obtrusive music.“

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

“Big fan! The noodles are so tasty and pricing is reasonable! They are very accommodating with all needs with food pickiness
The food is really good our go to if the beef bone noodle sour and spicy numbing pork noodles
Definitely recommend as just like a good spot to get your Asian noodle fix!“

“Really solid dumpling spot in downtown Walnut Creek. Dumpling Hours has more of a casual, old-school local restaurant vibe, which I personally liked. It is not the kind of place that feels super fancy or overly polished, but that actually made it feel more authentic and comfortable to me.

The food was the best part. The xiao long bao were juicy and flavorful, and I really enjoyed the larger dumplings as well. They were filling without feeling too heavy, and they had that satisfying handmade dumpling texture. One dish that stood out more than I expected was the wood ear mushroom salad. It was fresh, light, and had a nice texture that balanced really well with the dumplings.

Service was pretty typical for a busy dim sum-style restaurant: straightforward, quick, and not overly chatty, but totally fine for the type of place it is. I actually don’t mind that when the food comes out hot and the meal moves smoothly.

Overall, I liked the local feel of the restaurant and would definitely come back when I’m in the mood for xiao long bao and dumplings. It is a nice option to have in Walnut Creek, especially if you want something casual, comforting, and different from the usual downtown restaurant choices.“

“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!“

“Every time we go to Aberdeen Cafe, we always get a whole peking duck. The duck skin is crispy, and the meat is well seasoned. We also like to order a bunch of other dishes so that we would have some leftovers to take home. The sesame balls with red beans, shrimp dim sum, and lo mein noodles with bbq pork are also our favorite!“

“This place has delicious food at reasonable prices and is reliable and consistent for over 20 years. I had the black bean chicken and the sauce is so flavorful and comforting with steamed rice. The hot and sour soup is super yummy. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent house-made noodles!“

“Amazing food, the portions are worth the price, the outside area is beautiful and I will always sit outside. The service is pretty good with food taking a few minutes to arrive if the restaurant isn't too busy. The servers are amazing, especially Anthony. He is always very enthusiastic and kind. Best service out there.“

“I had a craving for a good old fashioned Chinese lunch special. You know the ones that include maybe some soup if you're lucky rice and one entree. I saw this place when I had a few minutes to myself. I went in and ordered not expecting much but it was absolutely delicious! The soup was hot and sour soup which is one of my favorites. It was incredibly well done and then I had kung pao shrimp with stir fried rice. The rice was okay. Nothing special but my God the kung pao shrimp? The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the vegetables were crisp tender and the sauce was spicy enough to catch your attention without burning out your stomach or your throat“

“We always come here and have always been happy with the quality of the food. However, there is an older Chinese male server who always makes us feel rushed while we’re eating, and his attitude toward customers is not very friendly.

We really enjoy this restaurant, so we hope you can address this issue by improving the customer service training for this staff member. If the behavior continues, we hope appropriate action will be taken to ensure every customer has a pleasant dining experience.“

“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.“

“My first time going here and they made a mistake with the order but they fixed it and the food was excellent. Just like how they made it at King Dong in Berkeley which is now closed. Hard to find good Chinese food these days, and this place is a good spot.“

“This place is not far from my house. I've been eating their food for years and I'm never disappointed. 8 can only talk about the dine in lunches. They are generous portions, and I always have enough left for another meal at home.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I can’t believe I have never written a review for this place. This Chinese restaurant is the spot to order from for family parties. Best know for their fried chicken with spicy salt trays which is so good and crunchy! Also their combination fried rice, people also order their fried fish, bbq chicken, and honey walnut prawns for parties. They’re only takeout and they are always busy. Best to order ahead and allow yourself time to pick up before large parties. I just call to make an order and you pay when you pick up. I wish I could see their prices online or in person for the small and large trays. For a small chicken and small fried rice tray it cost over $100. So large trays are probably about $100. Tastes good and feeds a lot of people. Located in the island pacific plaza, plenty of parking and don’t leave anything valuable in your car.“

“Very happy with the pork fried rice both the quality and generous portion. The sweet and sour pork is also really good. I sat in the bar next door and had a beer while I waited for my food. Not that I had to wait long. I will definitely be back if not for the food then to hang out at the bar.“

“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“

“Excellent service and the food was delicious.“

“I was on my way to Concord and went past the Three Brothers from China Restaurant and planned on going there as soon as I'm finished with Ol Oshcotious Trotterdale out at his Haggis plant, where I'm to get a full view of what goes into producing authentic Haggis. Well, I don't have words to describe what I saw, and there aren't any words in the English language to describe what I smelled.All I can say is...there is something wrong with those people.I went Lickity Split all the way to the Three Brothers from China Restaurant and had Pork Pot Stickers and Char Siu Chicken it was Amazing! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Delicious food! We had the soup dumplings, fried potstickers, cucumber salad and Dan Dan noodles. Everything was wonderfully flavored and a joy to eat! Great service, a cozy laid back ambiance - I look forward to coming back and trying more dishes!“

“Alamo Palace has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for over 30 years. The food has always been consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the staff makes you feel like family every time you walk in.

What I love most is that it’s a small family-run business that truly cares about their customers and the local community. In a world full of chain restaurants, places like this are special and deserve support. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and that’s probably why they’ve had loyal customers like me for decades.

If you’re looking for authentic, consistently great Chinese food with friendly service and a hometown feel, this is the spot. Highly recommend supporting this local gem!“

“Excellent place to meet up with friends and family to have a great time with yummy food“

“Best authentic Cantonese dim sum in the CoCo county area! I grew up with dim sum in SF at least once a week with my grandpa and it reminds me of him every time we go. Creek House is family owned and the owners are still working every day, passing down the tradition to their daughter who runs most of the operations. Their baos are super soft and tops are perfectly toasted. Their dim sum and Cantonese dishes are cooked perfectly without being saturated in oil. The bbq pork baos are my absolute favorite and that's coming from the daughter of one of the most well known bakeries in SF (Red A Bakery, since sold when my parents retired). I love this spot because it reminds me of the good ole days :) oh and they serve dim sum at night!!!! BEST THING EVERRRRR“

“1st time there. Went there with 4 others for lunch. Had the sweet&sour pork, fried rice, and hot&sour soup. The soup was good, but the fried rice was very plain, and the small chunks of pork were mostly surrounded by deep fried batter. The veggies in the dish were sparce, but good. Overall, not that bad, but not that impressed. impressed“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Went her last night with my family. Second time I had it. First time I had it delivered to my house this time we ate there. It was DELICIOUS 🤤 both times. So happy I live walking distance to my new favorite Chinese restaurant ❗️“

“Always such good food with so many choices. Always very friendly staff as well. Love eating here“

“I absolutely love this place, and it's only gotten better since they just remodeled the entire restaurant. Everyone is so friendly. The food is amazing, both the Chinese and Japanese menus. Their lunch specials are awesome. Cannot say enough great things. I go here all the time for a reason.“

“I ordered the Mu Shu Pork on Christmas. It was the, dare I say, the best Mu Shu Pork I’ve had in several years. It was fresh, tasty and fulfilling. It was take out where the food sometimes loses its taste and freshness. This was not the case.
I gave 5 stars on atmosphere even though I realize it does not apply in this instance, but, when I’ve been in there, the atmosphere was good.
I’ve yet to have a bad meal here.“

“Really liked this place the couple times I got to have it! It now says closed every day except mondays and they don't answer their phone, I hope they arent closed as I was just becoming a loyal customer!

Edit- I see below they said they will be closed until the 10th for the remodel. I feel like you should be more clear about that! I will be back once you reopen!“

“By God’s own bleeding wounds, I am struck dumb and addled with frantic, feverish ecstasy!

My recent, fateful pilgrimage into this festering yet paradisiacal grotto of culinary debauchery—known unto the vulgar as the China Wall Buffet—doth beggar the very soul and reduce one’s intellectual faculties to a sputtering tallow-dip in a gale!

Upon darkening the threshold of this magnificent plague-pit, the presiding sibyl of the vestibule did hail mine visage with such harrowing, relentless familiarity—as though an entire epoch had dissolved into vapor since yesterday’s gluttonous routing—that my very marrow turned to warm treacle! For the paltry tribute of nineteen silver groats and sundry coppers, I was granted sovereign licence to plunge headlong into a subterranean sea of perpetual grease, wandering a grand hall of absolute abundance with trembling hands to plunder the mountainous, steaming viscera of the line myself!

Behold the victuals, ye wretched groundlings! Long, sinuous skeins of wheat-flesh writhing in unholy oils, and savory meat-pouches folded tighter than the state secrets of the Crown! And oh, the fowl!—doused in the blistering, phantom fury of New Spain's peppers, yet carrying no genuine malice to rend the constitution asunder!

Yet, I pray thee, hearken unto the madness that doth pass all human comprehension! They proffer cold, lifeless rectangles of briny marsh-rice, burdened with raw, un-hallowed fragments of the dark ocean’s abyss—presented utterly bereft of the purifying, holy grace of God’s own hearthfire!

To ingest such cold, slippery maritime blasphemy at a common trough is a game of Russian roulette played with the Almighty’s very bowels! Yet, by some unholy, necromantic alchemy, having partaken of a modest triad or quartet of morsels to tempt perdition, mine entrails yet hold their fortress against the void!

Absolute, mind-shattering perfection! A spectacle so bloody outrageous it doth make the angels weep and the devils dance a jig of pure, unadulterated triumph! Five stars out of five, and may a plague consume every other kitchen in Christendom!“

“Came for lunch. The congee and rice noodles were very good. The chow fun was just meh. The service was good but the plastic dishes and bowls and paper cups for tea really cheapen the experience. I’ll come back to try the dim sum next time. We come to the shopping center a lot to eat at the other places and was surprised to have just noticed this place. It’s on the backside of the mall. They have been open for 2 years but their sign is now up and more visible.“

“Ordered from there tonight with DoorDash General Taos chicken 🐔. Thought all meals came with white rice , for 25 bucks I got a small plate of chicken an few stalks of broccoli. It was good just not for what I paid for ,“

“I've always been a fan of that mall with Charlotte russe jcpenney forever 21 and express. I miss that agaci there. it's a shame that justice permanently closed. it goes well at that mall same with limited too. I remember shopping at limbo lounge when I was a teenager getting my pictures taken at that jcpenney and that sears. My mom took me to that Victoria secrets ten years ago to buy lingerie after I had a breast reduction I spare time to walk around at that mall whenever I shop at that macys“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
I’ve got to hand it to this Panda Express! — even though prices have gone up a bit, they haven’t shrunk the portions like so many other places have. The food still comes out fresh, hot, and consistent every time I stop by. The staff moves quick, the place stays clean, and you can tell they care about keeping quality up. Definitely one of the better Panda locations around.“

“This is a Mongolian BBQ eatery located at Sunvalley Shopping Center. This place is located by a nearby entrance/exit door and next to an accessible restroom.

The food is good however the portion for an almost $20 is not worth it. The experience is quite interesting seeing your food cooked in a different type of layout. Various sauces to choose from, and choose whatever you like in your small bowl. The experience is unique, the place is clean, plenty of seats and tables. Can get an extra plate and utensils if you want to share your food as well.“

“great food and service! the Szechuan chicken is my go to here“

“I finally tried Modern China, and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the garlic noodles and the orange chicken, and both were absolutely delicious. The portions were really generous, so I had plenty to take home. I actually reheated the leftovers today, and they still tasted just as good.

The service was excellent, everyone was super friendly, they had great music playing, and the whole place had a really fun, relaxed vibe. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back. I highly recommend checking it out!“

“Love this specialty pizza ! And not just the pizza The chicken wings Q'ed in the back and then finished off in the pizza oven are the best in town! Seriously, you won't find any tastier The salads are great too and you can even get cotton candy spun for dessert This place is great“

“AMAZING BUFFETT WOWWWW! So I was in a birthday party group of 22 people. Yeah 22. We did have a wait time of an hour for them to find 3 tables for us but that was expected. We also came at rush hour dinner time. But there was a shaded area by the mall to stay cool while waiting.

But once we got it they gave us a discount cause we had so many people and that was SO helpful on the final bill.

The food selection was amazing! Customer service is bomb and I love their fresh seafood and crab and assortment of sushi. If youre a seafood junkie, this buffett is for you.

AND... They have a chocolate sundae... enough said.“

“Great place to grab an easy dinner to bring home. Clean restaurant, wide variety of menu items, friendly helpful employees. One super nice incentive . . . They don't pressure you for a tip! So nice after so many places hit you up with putting you on the spot expecting a tip on take out. PLEASE TIP THEM ANYWAY. But do it on your terms, not theirs“

“The best Panda Express I've tasted. I don't know if I caught them on the right day or what. It was my first visit there. But I plan on going back. Everything was flavorful. I like the green beans n chicken. But generally the green beans are undercooked. These were decent, very decent. I recommend this particular Panda Express.“
