50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Pacifica

“Great food!
Super lovely owners.

I wish they would tent & put the sauce on the side of the prawns and squash when ordering togo.

Although delicious, soggy when the get home.

Dining in is pretty standard.

Brightly lit florescent lights with close seating.

If they have a home made jar of hot chili oil for sale, do yourself a favor and pick up a jar...
DELICIOUS!!!“

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

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

“Absolutely a hidden gem in Pacifica!! FRESH FOOD!!! Your order will take a little longer, so be patient!! This is not your ordinary Chinese Restaurant that the food is just sitting there a reheated. I don't go to any other Chinese Restaurant EVER!!! I moved and now I make the 4-5 hour drive to just come here!!“

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

“I was traveling from out of town and had never been to a dumpling shop. This place did not disappoint! Got the combo to try various styles. Was reasonably priced and the flavors were on point.
If you haven't been you really should go!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Checked out Dumpling Zone and really liked it. Their choice of dumplings was a lot to choose from and they came out hot, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot.

The place feels simple and laid-back, and the staff kept things moving quickly. Solid little spot for a casual meal“

“Very yummy experience - would recommend the beef noodle soup, onion and egg pancake, and cucumber salad. Noodle portions are huge and food comes out quickly. We went on a Saturday at noon and were seated immediately, ladies serving us were very sweet. Note that it’s cash only. Highly recommend, we will be back!“

“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!“

“We ordered this via Doordash on a whim because we were craving it.
The jajjangmyeon was one of the best that I had =)
The jjamppong was very unique with half a crab included. It was delicious, but a bit too spicy for me.
We can't give a comment on service/atmosphere but we were very satisfied with our meal. Definitely would visit again in store to try it fresh on the spot!!“

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

“My favorite hole in the wall Chinese food I crave for when it comes to dumplings. They do fried or boiled.

It’s about the wrapper… fresh made and ingredients inside that counts.

They do good Americanized Chinese food too… best tender kung pao chicken and Mongolian beef.“

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

“New Broadway Bistro never disappoints. The fried rice was packed with flavor—perfectly cooked, not greasy, and full of that classic wok aroma. You can tell they use quality ingredients and know exactly what they’re doing in the kitchen.

Service was fast, portions were generous, and the whole experience just felt easy and satisfying. Definitely one of those spots you can keep coming back to.

Highly recommend if you’re craving solid, no-fail comfort food. 🍽️🔥“

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

“5🌟 restaurant!! We often do take-out from Yuanbao and have tried all of their noodle dishes. The noodles and dumplings are always made fresh and come out piping hot. Food taste great with good & consistent portion! It truly deserves the high ratings.🥳 I also love their open kitchen and the staff are friendly.“

“Awesome! My family enjoyed it“

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

“We have been here multiple times and always walk away full and happy, it’s never a miss. The extensive vegan menu is really well done and the servers are always so kind and welcoming. Shout out to Carol for recommending a few limited time dishes to try and something special for my girlfriend’s birthday .“

“Yummy, table-clothed pre-fixe lunch, perfect for dining with grandma or parents under $20. All plate lunches come with complimentary soup to start and sliced oranges to close.

Chicken and String Beans met the San Francisco standard.

Chinese-American cooking at its core, Mandarin/Hunan style.

Friendly staff. Squeaky clean premises, with tasteful antiques.“

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

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

“Loved our experience hosting our son's 1st birthday at Dumpling Kitchen Noe - it was absolute perfection from start to finish!
We hosted his party on the back patio here, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. If you are looking for a venue that combines incredible food with flawless execution, this is it!
From our very first inquiry, Shari was an absolute dream to work with. Her professionalism and responsiveness made the planning process completely stress-free. She was incredibly accommodating, working closely with us to fit everything within our budget while completely catering to our specific vision for the day.
The back patio was the perfect setting--cozy, private, and beautiful--but the real star of the show was the food. The dumplings and dishes were absolutely spectacular and completely fresh and delicious. We received non-stop compliments from our guests all afternoon about how incredible the food was. My dad, who is a connoisseur of hot and sour soup, kept saying how this was one of the best ones he's had!
Thank you to the wonderful owner and staff for making our son's milestone celebration so incredibly special. We will be back for regular dinners and won't hesitate to host future events here!“

“Super yummy Chinese American classics made with actual real good for you ingredients (ie grass fed beef!) I love the funky, fun and relaxed, fast casual vibe. Mamahuhu is one of our favorite regulars.

Strongly recommend the mapo tofu w/ pork + jade fried rice🤤“

“What delicious food! The service was quick and options were authentic and delicious. We loved their hot and sour soup and the pan fried soup dumplings. We got sesame balls for dessert on the house. We even left with more food than originally ordered and some extra good fortune!“

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

“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.“

“Wong’s Cafe! so delicious. Authentic, classic food options😋 extremely flavorful, never too salty or sweet, always fresh and hot. I’ve been going here since i was a little girl, and my grandparents have as well since they were kids. Wong’s stands the test of time. Never skimp out on plate size. Full to the brim.
Chefs and staff are sooo sweet and understanding. Welcome you with a smile and send you off with one + a full satisfied belly. They are worth every bit of your time. Show them some love:3 💗💗💗 Thank you!“

“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!! 🙏💕😁“

“This was my first time being here at Hubei Restaurant. I was kind of struggling to find a Chinese Restaurant with great reviews and I stumbled upon this place with my parents that I persuaded them to try this place out. We've ordered a lot in this place to see if it was worth coming back, and to say the least it was worth it for my first time being here. It reminded me of a childhood memory I had in the Philippines and it was the closest thing I ever had that hits home-run for me. I guaranteed I will come back here if I ever feel like craving for Chinese cuisine that reminds me of the childhood days. The ambiance over there was very nice and their service is absolutely superb, worth it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

PS: I really got emotional being there. 🥹👍💯“

“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.“

“Very solid option to satisfy the Chinese takeout itch. Walnut prawns were excellent, as were the green beans. The dry braised chicken wings were decent but paled in comparison to San Tung. My only complaint is that it's a bit pricey for this style of food.“

“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 king crab meal is very special - they make it 3 different ways!! We did steamed with vermicelli, fried with salted duck yolk and sautéed with noodles. You can also do sautéed with rice or steamed with egg. Make sure to call ahead and pre-order. The servers were very friendly and hard working. Can’t wait to be back!“

“I honestly don’t understand why the rating is so low—it’s absolutely delicious and tastes just like back home in China. I ordered lamb skewers, grilled squid, cold noodles, and grilled cold noodles. Ever since I tried it once, I’ve been craving it every day.“

“This restaurant is amazing. The owner is nice and friendly. I’ve been there one time about 2 months ago, and after that every time that i want to treat my friends, i would take them to the spicy house, the flavor is well adjusted, for me as a Chinese, it would remind me of my hometown and for my friends, the flavor is also acceptable and they all love the food from spicy house. If you want try Chinese food, i would recommend this place as your first choice!!! And also thanks for the warm and kind service from spicy house. Wish all the best to this amazing place. 生意興隆，恭喜發財！“

“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.“

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

“One of the best places to get food late night in Millbrae. We've come here a couple times the night before our flight out of SFO and every time it's delicious and the bartender has always been super friendly and poured a great glass of wine.“

“Had braised beef noodle soup with their homemade flat noodles. Exceptional texture on both the beef and the noodles. The complimentary chili sauce added a lot to it, it was very fragrant and not too spicy. I finished all of the broth, which is something that I rarely do. That was really damn good broth.“

“It’s been a while since my family and I came here for lunch. The food is still very delicious and was craving these yummy dishes. The Shanghai noodles and the xiao long bao are a top favorite! The spicy wontons with chili oil were pretty good. It’s not that spicy at all. So if your spicy tolerance isn’t too high, it’s a good choice. The staff were very friendly and the food came pretty fast.“

“Love Henry's Hunan. Started coming here about 50 years ago when only one restaurant on Kearny. The smoked ham and Henry's special are amazing. It's a commute from Belmont, but I still find excuses to get here as often as possible.“

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

“I ordered a couple things today and they were all super good! definitely coming here again & the lady who attended us was super sweet🥰 Thank you for being open during these times 🙂“

“First time here, a coworker brought dim sum to work and said it was her favorite place.

The store is plain and service is strictly business. Cash only with a line that moves quickly.

4 stars for food because it’s very reasonable price-wise and the portions are very generous. They also have chow fun (I got a large container for $20, it’s about 6-7 pounds worth, not too oily and what you’d expect).
Lunch plates also offered all day.

4 pieces of har gow (steamed shrimp dumpling) or 4 pieces of Siu Mai (pork and shrimp dumpling) are $4.80 each-and again, the size of each dumpling is pretty big.

Also got a beef noodle roll which was also generously sized and filled with meat.

I will return for the fast service , big portions and variety. Lots of other things offered like steamed buns, fried taro puffs, and green beans that looked perfectly cooked.

While my favorite place for dim sum is HK Bistro on Folsom, Three Star is going to be my new go to for quick, tasty and well priced food. I’m glad I tried it and would recommend to friends and family.“

“味道好！價格合理！好吃！服務好！“

“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!“

“The flavors were just amazing. Fresh food for decent price. The restaurant needs a little attention. Once again, FOOD WAS AMAZING. We order dinner for two. Soup, egg rolls, and main dish for under twenty dollars. I am pretty sure that you won't be disappointed.“
