50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Pacifica

“My first time ordering door dash for this restaurant and it did not disappoint!! I ordered 6 dishes total and it was only a little over $100 subtotal, wow, can't get this amount of food anywhere else in the bay area!! All the dishes came piping hot (thanks to the door dash driver) and each container was filled to the brim! I felt like this $100 was well spent, I'm so glad I found this little gem. You guys just earned another loyal returning customers :) please stay in business so I don't have to cook as much!“

“Food was good. Staff was friendly and was always around when you need them. Will definitely come back and recommend“

“Really legit Chinese! Had Mongolian chicken and shredded pork with tofu lunch specials. Comes with rice and hot and sour soup (which needs a bit more vinegar). The mains were very good. Glad my wife found this place while Yelping!Only take out until September or October according to the owner.“

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

“My favorite Chinese restaurant. We eat there each time I visit my family at Daly City and they also do home delivery!“

“This place is wonderful! I've tried almost everything on the menu, standout items are xiaolongbao, fresh cucumber salad, zha-jiang noodles, and spicy wontons. All of the vegetable dishes are good, but the spicy green beans are my favorite. I live in the neighborhood so I go every week, one of the best places in linda mar.“

“They might close before 9? Walked in Friday night at 7:20pm and most of the lights were out (but their door was open). Asked if they were open and a older gentleman gestured for us to sit. (Update: Tried to go at 7:40pm another night and they were already shut down tighter than a drum. It's like they're allergic to money.)

Food was good but service was odd. Like if you didn't grow up with a surly, emotionally distant Asian mom like I did, you may feel uncomfortable. For instance, the first thing out of her mouth was not "welcome" or simply "hi," but "no more buffet." Not sure if they meant "today" or "*ever*," but I didn't ask...?

I think the woman was the chef and not only the waitress because she walked between the kitchen and the fridge (just out in the dining room) a lot as well as served us, while the man mostly just sat there.

Garlic chicken, mo hinga (fish soup), and pork curry were great. The mo hinga was not fishy and was topped with delicious fried lentils that were like a crunchier version of tempura flakes. The pork curry included hunks of soft, gelatinous tendon (not fat but you might get confused) and came with rice. The rice noodles were a bit thin and on the cusp of becoming too soft.

Tea leaf salad was good too but not as good as at Rangoon Ruby. You have to mix it a lot or the clumps of tea will be too salty.

I feel a little snubbed that another reviewer got homemade chili sauce but we got a bottle of Huy Fong sriracha, lol.

Portions and prices are reasonable. Two of us polished off 4 dishes.

Shan noodles are apparently the dish to get at Burmese, according to Eater San Francisco, but I didn't notice they had it until later.

The menu has no prices and the bill apparently includes tax and doesn't charge any B.S. fees. We tipped well and paid cash because I couldn't trust Maps saying they take card and communication was a bit difficult.“

“One of the few fast food options with real vegetables available and all at a reasonable price. The new app brings some much appreciated discounts for repeat customers. This particular location can be fairly generous with portions but once in a while you will get one of the smaller servers who also thinks smaller portions of food is acceptable but I would disagree. Service is fast and almost never out of any of the main dishes or available mostly fresh in a few minutes of ordering. Thank you to all staff for providing good service at one of the few options for health concerned people.“

“This was the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever had in my entire life, and that’s saying something cause I’ve eaten at a lot of different Chinese restaurants. My brothers came with me and they agree. Anytime I’m in San Francisco I will come here.“

“There are so many interesting reviews on this place, we decided to check it out ourselves. My personal favorite is their eggplant dish. Although my sister observed that it’s on the greasy side, which is probably accurate, I enjoyed the eggplant better here than at any previous restaurant.“

“Just found out Serramonte Center has Yang Guo Fu in the food court 😂 Perfect spot for a hot bowl of malatang on a foggy Daly City lunch break. $14.99/lb with fresh veggies, meats, and three soup bases (beef bone, tomato, spicy dry). Loved the beef & lamb rolls, mushrooms, lotus root, and konjac for a lighter option. Their red oil wontons ($5.99) are freshly made and so tasty—can’t wait to try the dim sum they’re adding soon!“

“I have been here since it first opened it’s doors, I usually make a visit when I am craving for a different style of Chinese food or when I am in the area. The restaurant is pretty compact where lines can build up. It is a two sided interior, where you can walk through the middle of the restaurant to either side of the dining area. Their menu consists of appetizers, dumplings, entrees, noodles, noodle soups, fried rice and much more. Everything is authentic, worth trying and made to order which is always a plus for me and I do not mind the wait since I am a very patient person. Their portion size is what I call more than enough, because most of the times I have food to take home. The service here is great thanks to their very welcoming, well trained and understanding staffs where I had never encountered an issue during any of my visits. You can either dine in, order for take out, phone in an order or order through a delivery app to have it delivered to you. I highly recommend this place to all Chinese food lovers, to anyone looking to try something new or if you just so happen to be in the area. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“Love this place the wait and drive is worth it“

“I found out about this gem because a coworker told me about it. I am so glad I came here after a work meeting for lunch. It was a delicious lunch. I got the spicy beef noodle soup with extra spice and beef and the beef,lamb and fish dumplings. It was out of this world. The service was friendly and super attentive highly recommend.“

“No matter where you’re from, if you like Chinese rice noodles and soup-based dishes, I highly recommend trying this traditional rice noodle soup from Guangxi Province at this restaurant in San Francisco. The flavor is quite authentic, and I think it’s worth it—even though I don’t live nearby.“

“The spicy seafood stew is the best! I loved it so much! Delicious and warming on a cold winter's night. Service is super nice and the restaurant was warm and bustling on a Friday night. Great vibes. Can't wait to come back and eat my way through the whole menu. 🤩“

“Mamahuhu delivers exactly what you want from fast-casual Chinese food: bright flavors, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and dishes that feel comforting without being heavy. The menu balances classics and updated takes, and everything I’ve tried, from the General Tso’s to the veggie dumplings, has been consistent and delicious.

That said, I really dislike that they make you order from a kiosk, even during slower times of the day. When the restaurant is nearly empty, it feels impersonal to tap through a screen instead of interacting with a staff member. In a neighborhood like Noe Valley, where part of the charm is the personal connection at small businesses, the kiosk experience feels out of place.

Still, the food is good enough that I keep coming back. I just wish they would rethink that ordering system, at least when things are slow.“

“Great food, good price, and quick service - my sisters and I look at it as an extension of our kitchen �“

“First time here, Christmas Eve lunch. We were there 1st customers @ 12:30 for lunch. The place is pretty austere and cold in appearance and in temperature. We asked the server if they could turn on the heat and it was met with a silly little grin. Maybe he didn't understand. Needless to say we all ate w/our jackets on. He brought out the plates for our meal and they too were ice cold. So we all sat on our plates to warm them up, not kidding. They do have a very extensive menu of items to choose from. Overall the meal was really good, food HOT and plentiful. I wouldn't bother with the friend shrimp, only 8 on a plate and they looked like they came out of a package. All items pretty reasonably priced. However, I won't return until summer when the weather and the plates are warmer.“

“Great Food Great Price with variety of choices on the menu. the Laksa soup is yummy 😋“

“Awesome! My family enjoyed it“

“The food is tasty and delicious the inside needs a update the service is good it’s not too noisy“

“Came for a dinner. Surprisingly this new one was much better than the old one. Foods were delicious, close to Hong Kong taste. Portions not small. Prices were a bit expensive compared with other cafes. Nice environment. Spacious. Clean. High ceiling. Friendly service. Definitely will be come back to try another foods.“

“Great food, very reasonable prices. Just be prepared to wait“

“Fantastic food with warm service provided by the charming owner herself. The menu is extensive and includes staples of Hubei province. Each dish, especially the fish and prawns, got seals of approval from a Human native who accompanied me there.“

“Great place with a lovely patio, it's expensive of course but they give you value for the money too in the form of delicious dumplings and related delicious food. They are okay for vegetarian options. I ate at this place a lot when it was Savour and never ate outside once. The Patio is much better integrated, covered and fun with the current restaurant.“

“No nonsense small restaurant catered mostly to takeout. Good pricing and friendly staff. Had a simple bowl of wonton noodle soup. Decent flavor. Fresh wontons amd scallions. Not a lot.of seating for party greater than 4, but otherwise meets expectations“

“I travelled from Riverside County to come eat at this restaurant and have heard such great reviews about it from my relatives and friends who live all the way in China! It was worth the drive and we will definitely be back again. Each dish is unique and they also have gluten free options as well as requested options. (My f5 year old is Gluten free).The bamboo and mushroom dish had a hint of sweetness with an undertone of spice, the Chong qing 🌶spicy chicken was mouth watering, along with the eggplant 🍆 dish, dry stir fried fish, and glass noodles with pork! I enjoyed every dish and my kids enjoyed their shrimp fried rice dish and greens as well. Our family is a foodie family and we love ❤️ traveling far and near to try dishes from around the world. The Chef came out and greeted us and was So kind. The staff was very attentive and friendly with our children. I would highly recommend this establishment. Thank you!! 🙏💕😁“

“The food is absolutely delicious! The staff is friendly and helpful. One of my favorite places to go when in town. Highly recommend.“

“A no-frills place for authentic comfort Chinese (and a few other non-Chinese but still Asian) dishes that is very convenient for those arriving late at SFO airport (they open past midnight). Walking distance to a few hotels or to a bus stop along El Camino Real, which passes several hotels in the area. I ordered the beef rib pho and fried oysters. I was satisfied with my meal and the beef rib was tender and flavorful. If ever I arrive in SF late at night on another trip, I won't hesitate to eat at this restaurant again.“

“My husband and I came across your Chestnut location this past weekend! What a wonderful find. The VERY nice gentleman that served us, the best dumplings - I highly recommend the Spicy Sichuan Wontons in Red Oil. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“This is a “hole in a wall” that makes some of the tastiest and least costly dim-sum anywhere. There is usually a short line waiting for service. Dim-Sum is freshly made daily. Great lunch specials: 2 steam table items plus fried rice or noodles or rice for less than $10. Also has a self serve freezer for customers to pick up extras for dinner at home.
Don’t expect a fancy ambience but good and inexpensive dim-sum. Worth the trip.“

“A neighborhood gem serving the usual Chinese takeout fares as well as more authentic dishes. There is something for everyone to enjoy. I personally really like the dan dan noodles, fried rice as well as a number of the chicken and beef entrees. Very reasonable price and generous portions that are great for sharing.“

“My daughter looked up BTSeveents and since we were going to be I SF, we decided to have a sweet treat there. I got the lemon dragon fruit with 25%sweetened and 75%ice and it was perfect on these rare warm SF day.“

“The food was excellent. Promot service too. Scallion (onion) pancakes are on point! Dumplings are steaming hot off the stove.“

“Muy delicioso todo soy cliente de años mis hermanos pequeños están ya adultos y ciempre seguimos visitando el lugar punjab“

“Love the food here! Best Chinese food you will ever get and for cheap too! Atmosphere could use a bit more work, decorated kinda plain and there's no music, just a TV we can't even hear. My biggest complaint is that they close at random times and often for long periods of time and I have no way of knowing unless I call in beforehand to know what time they close that day. If they don't pick up, they're closed.“

“Best Chinese style bbq in Bay Area. The north Korean style cold noodle is amazing - something you can’t really find in most Korean restaurants in the U.S. this our go to spot for late night cravings. Good value too for Bay Area. Family style service.“

“Had a lovely dinner here with my family—food and service were both great! Very solid dishes all around, but what really got me were the sweet and sour pork (which had a really good meat to batter ratio), taro sago (the best I’ve had in soo long!! Generous portions of taro in each bowl) and to my surprise the Chinese donuts (which I usually don’t like, but they were so soft, light and tasty).

I’m already looking forward to the next time my family gathers here for dinner :)“

“Such amazing food!!! My wife and I got the Beef Pan Fried Mixed Vegetable Noodles and Half a BBQ Roasted Duck and they were both excellent!

Carol and John treated us so well and we even received a complimentary Red Bean Soup for dessert that was so surprisingly sweet for a bean soup!!

It's a little bright in there but the lighting wasn't aggressive and the seating is in a beautiful space. Great date spot!“

“A gluten free haven! Most items are GF as-is (please know that the restaurantis not 100% gluten free). I've been here multiple times now; the food is always flavorful and piping hot. My favorite has been the orange chicken, and the sesame and General Tso's is delicious too. My non-GF guests did not know it was GF either! My new favorite spot in the city“

“This area has a lot of great little restaurants and this is one of them. Had the beef brisket soup and the broth was very hearty and the meat basically melted in my mouth. The fresh noodles just topped it all off *chef's kiss*. Service was fairly quick and no hassles. Prices were reasonable, especially for fresh hand made noodles.“

“I loved this place, food was great, very delicious and fast!!“

“The grandson continues to operate this famed Chinese restaurant as the best in the world. If you come to San Francisco, either as a local or visitor, you should visit this fantastic establishment at its newest address of 110 Natoma Street. You will be absolutely delighted.“

“Delicious food! Friendly service!

We walked over from our hotel at 9pm and were promptly and happily welcomed in.

Our food was delivered quickly after ordering which was great as we were tired from a long day of travel.

The kung pao chicken and garlic noodles were so good- just what we were looking for. Would absolutely order again!

We recommend this spot if you’re in the area and craving delicious Chinese food with friendly service.“

“This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. I ordered a green union pancake and it was incredible. Pork&shrimp dumplings were the best and beef chow fun was really good. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for chinese food.“

“Charming Chinese restaurant in Millbrae that focuses on the Sichuan cuisine. The Mapo tofu was delicious, and the cold spicy noodles were superb. Beef noodle soup was surprisingly good as well. Fast and efficient service. Interior is small, so not ideal for large parties. Parking can be challenging, as the free parking lot fills up fast and is shared with several other local businesses.“

“Dragon Garden is a small Chinese restaurant with delicious food at very affordable prices. The portions are generous, and it’s definitely a great value. It’s a family-friendly business with a welcoming vibe.

I picked up a lunch special to go, and it came with soup, rice, and my choice of dish. Everything was fresh and tasty!“

“Outstanding food at very good prices. The scallops with mixed vegetables had a great white sauce with broccoli, snap peas, sugar peas, mushrooms, bok choy, zucchini, cabbage, carrot, and celery. Delicious! Shrimp and asparagus with black bean sauce was also very tasty with plenty of shrimp and lots of fresh asparagus. Service was quick and courteous.“
