Cantonese Restaurants near Pacifica, CA

“The best place to eat Hot & sour soup in pacifica.“

“My family comes here or does take out once every month or so. Favorites are the char siu and duck which just hits the spot. Service is truly exceptional from being greeted at the door to attentive table service throughout. They are so welcoming to my child and that level of attention and care (consistently) is just so rare these days. Just a wonderful place all around.“

“Every person needs and craves connection everyday. Someone to talk about your favorite show with. Someone to notice your new favorite sweater you put on. At Do Eat, my friends and I walked in expecting to fill our stomachs. Little did we know that our hearts would be filled too. Though some of the staff spoke little English, their smiles and service broke through the language barrier. Our group of 5 was quickly and comfortably accommodated. The food was delicious and the portions so generous as to allow leftovers. The taste of the food is now a only memory, and soon all remnants will be gone from our stomachs. What will not leave is the everlasting connection we made with the beautiful people of Do Eat. Thank you.“

“Great place to eat dim sum“

“Street parking can be hard but we were lucky to find one not too far away.

It was busy on a Saturday evening with what seems like a lot of regulars. We were a party of 5 and they sat us at a table for 4 and added a chair on the end. Once we ordered, they moved us to a big table. We ordered way too much for 5 people. Ending up taking a lot home.

Everything was very good. Except the veggie was a little too tough/mature. And the mixed mushroom with egg tofu was not mixed mushroom but only one type of mushroom. The egg tofu was very good with the broccoli.

The bbq pork with chicken appetizer was good too. The bbq pork was so juicy and flavorful.

Portions here are very big and prices are reasonable.“

“Best dim sum in SF. Shark fin dumpling and deep fried pork puff are the best items. Low prices. No seating. To go only. Closes early, at 4 pm.“

“All over social media, people are saying this place has THE BEST roast duck in the country! So I had to check it out for myself.... I got half a duck and this was plenty for my boyfriend and I to share.If I'm being picky, the duck was on the salty side. However, it's very flavorful and savory. Not very sweet like other places. The duck pieces didn't have a ton of meat on them, but the pieces that had more meat were pretty juicy.Overall, not the best duck I've had - but definitely good quality! I'd recommend it to those visiting SF Chinatown.“

“I’ve been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times have been excellent.

I actually think this is my favorite Chinese restaurant in SF thus far. The seafood is live and fresh.

Their desserts are delicious.

The service is also very thoughtful and attentive here.“

“This is the best freaking Chinese food/dim sum with an amazing price point. MY FAVORITE SPOT!! I used to go to city college and their dim sum would let me get so much food for cheap, and keeping me fed throughout the whole day I would have at school. I love it there and they make everything authentic every morning it’s so bussin.“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“Great consistently tasty food. Good selection of both seafood and non seafood items. My family loves celebrating birthdays here.“

“What a fabulous time! Very well done!! Fresh seafood, meats, congee, dessert!!“

“Ordered the sweet and sour pork, the pork was moist and tender. Also ordered pork pot stickers were they were very tasty too. The two lady's that greeted me were very sweet and friendly.
I was staying at the Hampton Inn, across the street. It was nice to find great food so close by.🥰“

“We’ve been heading over to The Night Market for the past few years! The classics are all good, Hainan Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, minced Beef over rice. But if you want to try something unique to The Night Market try the Longan Crispy Pork over rice. I can’t imagine a dish that so uniquely represents the Asian American experience. Finish it off with a mango Sago!“

“Located near Luckys and Lowes, this is a neighborhood hole in the wall. It’s not an Ichi Ramen (shown in the front of the restaurant) as they just never spent the money to replace the sign. Being said this place gets packed fast especially on weekends. It’s a great spot for rice porridge and other Cantonese comfort food. Guess don’t judge the book by its cover 😉Tried the pork rice congee (hope I spelled that right) and the beef stew clay pot with both the regular and sweet Chinese doughnut. Enjoyed the tender pork and thick porridge. Beef stew was also very tender and savory 😋 I say check it out.“

“It’s really a to go place but surprisingly they offer a kitchen that will take orders and even customize your order. The staff is very nice and friendly. A few IYKYK things 1) It’s one of the rare places that still make mochi desert. They have a pineapple version and a peanut version. Both are really good. 2) Their bolo “pineapple” buns are also pretty good and they have it in a dedicated space with heat lamp. 3) they make soy milk from scratch. And it’s delicious.“

“We were a party of six, and all six of us found the food to be excellent. We ordered a 6-dish special meal that included a steamed fish fillet. I don't think it was a fresh fish, but it was large and plenty good. We were able to pick garlic noodles, which is one of my favorites, as one of our 6 dishes.“

“Play, it's a popular sport now. I often play with friends on Saturdays and weekends.“

“Recently renovated and updated, the new owners have done a wonderful job with this place. Quick, easy but delicious food ready to go. Pan Asian with a mix of Hawaii is what you’ll be treated to at this quaint spot tucked away in Vis Valley.

Definitely recommend giving them a visit if you’re in or around the neighborhood.“

“Food, service and prices were OK, you can relax with friends over lunch or dinner and not feel like you needed to pay and get out right after meal. There's always tables available (because the place is large) and no need to take a number and wait. Atmosphere is top notch with high ceiling and feel like you step in a 5 star place.“

“Nice place“

“This place is great for groups. Attended a wedding here that was not a full venue buyout (only half the dining room was used). The full catering menu was quite reasonably priced and the dishes were overall excellent. The lobster noodles, scallop shrimp snap peas, abalone were all definitely highlights.“

“Great food! Service was good. Theycould do a little better with the table cleaning and decor which would really elevate the experience. Seems like most folks were getting take out. The food was delicious and that's the most important thing to me.“

“The beef brisket, while basic and lacking in flavor, was surprisingly tender and meaty. The fried fish was just okay, nothing special. The restaurant serves authentic Chinese food, as evidenced by the predominantly Chinese patrons. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a fast-food Chinese restaurant, reminiscent of those found in Hong Kong.“

“點心新鮮熱辣👍👍👍 小菜價錢大衆化👍👍出品普遍色、香、味齊😋😋😋“

“My family and relatives came to this restaurant. Because we were a big group, we made a RSVP ahead of time and glad we did as this place gets packed quick! The dim sum was great, and the staff was friendly and responsive. I wouldn't mind coming back here in the future.“

“Found this little gem while on a layover at SFO and the food was amazing! I had the Curry Sliced Beef Ramen and it was probably the best I’ve had. The ordering technology threw me off but I got over it quickly, it is 2025. As far as atmosphere…..just a bunch of people quietly eating lunch. I only gave the service 2 stars because it is an online order and someone just deeply it off at the table. Would definitely recommend though.“

“Five of us came to try the $88 set menu for 4-6 people. (I initially thought it was $88 per person and was overly disappointed, but found out later it was $88 for all of us ?).We ended up ordering 3 other dishes, which brought our total closer to $200, but it was not bad. Everyone enjoyed the food.“

“I really loved eating their delicious food and desserts“

“I had a good experience at this restaurant. It offers a variety of Chinese dishes and cuisine. Decided to try the chow mein here and it was pretty nice, though the boneless chicken was not my favorite as it was cooked by boiling in water rather than grilling or baking (apologies if I’m wrong and the chicken has to be boiled in water in Chinese cuisine). Other than that though the food was nice.

The staff was also okay, though they didn’t quite speak English well but did understand most of the things that I wanted. The place was clean and organized though. Overall, this is a good Chinese restaurant.“

“If you’re looking for the ultimate comfort food in San Francisco, you have to try the Fried Sticky Rice (生炒糯米飯) at Golden Coast Restaurant (1540 Ocean Ave). It is perfectly chewy, savory, and loaded with the best toppings crunchy fried peanuts, fresh scallions, and thin ribbons of egg that make every bite a textural dream. It’s the kind of dish that feels like a hidden neighborhood secret where the quality is consistently delicious and the portion is incredibly satisfying for the price. They are open every day from 10:30 AM to around 8:30 PM (and as late as 9:30 PM some nights), so you can drop in for a late breakfast, a solid lunch, or a full dinner. I’m already planning my next trip back just to have this again, but it’s definitely a dish that’s even better when shared who’s coming with me to grab a table and dive into a massive bowl of this sticky rice?“

“Plan to come early or reserve a table at this bustling Cantonese mainstay. The venue is filled with the chatter of families gathered over good food. The portions are large and service is fast. My family especially enjoy stewed soup 燉湯 (limited availability), the fried squab 炸乳鴿, giant clam, and eggplant 海味茄子, among others. The menu is in Chinese and English with some captioned entree pictures. Hope to return for a long time to come.“

“A real hidden gem. As someone who has spent most of my life in Asia, I can confidently say the food here is incredibly authentic, fresh, and expertly prepared. I've been back twice already and brought different friends each time, every single one has been impressed. I daresay the food here is better than many restaurants in SF Chinatown!

Don't let the name fool you: they serve much more than just porridge (congee). That said, the porridge is so comforting and delicious it might just bring a tear to your eye. What to order: The sweet and sour pork, roast meats, claypot seafood tofu... are all outstanding and honestly rivals dishes I've had at restaurants mentioned in the Michelin Guides. They even serve complimentary Chinese tea, which is a lovely touch.

This isn't the place to come for a trendy atmosphere or over-the-top service. Come for the food, and you'll leave very happy.

(Helpful tip: Their sign says Cash Only, but they will take card for purchase over $30.)“

“Great to have a Chinese restaurant with such beautiful views in the South Bay. The food is great, the seafood is fresh, and the portions are generous. We recommend coming with a few people to try different dishes with a family style approach rather than ordering individually.

There is a parking lot and street parking on the larger side streets if it is fully. After your meal, there is a nice walk near the bay to help you digest and catch views of airplanes landing and taking off San Francisco Airport.“
