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“

“A place where, from the very first visit, you are welcomed and served as if you were already a regular customer; you can really sense that it’s a family-run business striving to offer quality at an affordable price. Everything was delicious, and I liked the complimentary nuts served as an appetizer. It’s the kind of food that feels truly comforting.“

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

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

“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!!“

“I stopped by while running errands out of town,cute homie atmosphere nice lady was there to great me,i may have arrived between hours only soup was available but it's all i wanted i settled on a fishball soup with noodles it hit as expected will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.“

“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.“

“I hesitate to leave a review lest this hidden gem of a place get discovered by too many people. I'm surprised there isn't a line out there door to get these dumplings - tasty little morsels of perfection. And the hand pulled noodles are chewy and so satisfying. While we thoroughly enjoyed the chicken chow mein, beef noodle soup and 2 different kinds of soup dumplings, we agreed that we'd need to come back and make our way down the menu. Many combinations of flavors to choose from.“

“The best Beef Roll Pancakes & Hand-Pulled Noodles! House of Pancakes on Taraval is an absolute staple in San Francisco for rich, authentic comfort food. The beef roll pancake is a complete masterpiece—flaky, perfectly crispy, and loaded with tender, savory beef. Combine that with a hot, comforting bowl of their fresh hand-pulled noodles and crisp green onion pancakes, and you have an unforgettable meal. Fast, generous portions, and deeply satisfying every single time. If you love authentic dumplings, noodles, and savory pancakes, this Sunset spot is a total must. make sure to bring cash!! $$$“

“Super good food and friendly staff, our group of 5 people each ordered our own thing and were surprised at the portions, if going in a group it may be helpful to figure out a few dishes the party wants to share and then order and divide, that's what we did and it was a great way to taste so many amazing and tasty dishes!“

“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.“

“Awesome! My family enjoyed it“

“I would love to come back here and try more of the menu! Everything was phenomenal and one of a kind. I’ve never seen a menu like this. Great experience having insanely good food and getting to try new things! We went in a group with a mix of vegans and omnivores ordering off the vegan menu and we all loved everything we got. The flavors of the vegan meat were incredible. I’d rate this 5 stars if I could! 11/10 might be one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-01“

“Dumpling Bites catered my client’s birthday party in San Francisco on Sunday, and they were absolutely amazing! They pulled off a last-minute miracle for us and were professional, reliable, and right on time. The food was delicious, and our guests loved everything.

A special shout-out to Jason, the manager—he is truly the best! He was incredibly helpful, responsive, and made the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend Dumpling Bites for any event and will definitely work with them again!“

“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!“

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

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

“This is a classic Hong Kong style cafe or “tea restaurant” (茶餐廳), a relative unique style of Chinese cuisine invented in Hong Kong by fusing western cafe and Chinese style cooking. If you ever want to find such an eatery in the San Francisco Bay Area without flying 8000 miles to Hong Kong, this is your place. The food, and especially the service are absolutely top notch. Perhaps even more precious is the community vibe the restaurant staff manage to create. From the moment you step into the restaurant to the moment you leave you will meet authentically courteous, efficient and caring service from Selena, Sunny, and others. The combination of a family restaurant and high quality cooking plus pleasant ambience will likely make this restaurant a highly desirable gathering place going forward for local residents, as well as visitors from afar, for the unique east-meet-west Hong Kong tea restaurant experience. A remarkable place for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner.“

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

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

“This place is interesting. I think the cooks here are great, but the menu and flavor profile are extremely white. All the sauces are sweet to all hell.

We ordered the spicy chicken basil, broccoli with garlic sauce, and also added house prawns. All 3 came out tasting like candied sauces. On the first bite you can taste each one has a bunch of sugar and or hoisin sauce plus whatever they threw in to soften the sweetness. The sauces that are prepped with the dishes are white washed sauces and taste terrible.

The saving factor for me giving 4 ⭐ instead of 1 is the host came after we explained our issue and he came back with proper Chinese dishes. I added the original dishes with the dark sauce, but the dishes in the pictures that aren’t drowned in dark sauce are the corrected dishes. The replacement dishes were leagues better than what the original target pallet of the neighborhood. The replacement dishes are the two in the same picture.“

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

“Yan gon is a family own Burmese restaurant on broadway Burlingame. The owner and the entire staff were extremely friendly , attentive , courteous . helpful, and welcoming . Their dishes are delicious . I have tried their Burmese Style Curry Lamb , Singapore Street noodles, Deep fried Chicken Wings , and Wor Wonton Soup. All four dishes were delicious, but my favorite is the won ton soup . This soup is perfect , it's so healthy and brothy. The broth is so rich that left a long lasting mouthwatering and coating sensation lingering in my tongue. The wontons are so tasty , juicy , and flavorful with the right amount of , I believe was pork , ginger , garlic ,chopped onions , sugar, salt , pepper , and shrimps . . The shrimps were very tastey and fresh . It didn't have that strange scent of ammonia or fishy smell like spoiled shrimps . The restaurant is simple , bright , clean , casual ambience with ample seatings. I have been here many times and got seated right away. No wait . This restaurant is a must try if you have the craving for Burmese food or just want to try something new.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Asked the server for recommendations, and he cordially recommended some dishes for us to try. Asked another server for an extra pair of chop sticks, and yet another one heard and brought the chopsticks over right away. The servers looked like they enjoyed working there, and the restaurant was spacious and comfortable.
The food was delicious! The recommended Napa cabbage pork dumplings were amazingly delicious, prompting us to buy some frozen dumplings home ($11.99/15pcs) at the end. The pickled cabbage beef noodle soup was delicious as well. The noodles were softer than al dented (as I like it), and the 2 types of beef were both tender. The soup was a little too salty to be drunk by itself though. Also got the mixed salad without spicy, which was very garlic forward. Unfortunately, the tofu sheets were a little harder than I would've liked, but the flavour was still good.
All in all, highly recommend this restaurant for their dumplings! I cooked the beef lamb fish frozen dumplings yesterday and as long as you're careful not to break the skin, it'll be moist and delicious. If you're close to the airport during meal time, definitely give this place a try!“

“I love this place! I come here all the time to do homework. The menu is well rounded, the noodle plates are bomb. They're always served fresh and hot. As a sago lover, their mixed fruit flavor is one of the best, you have to try it if you're a fan of boba vibes and want to try something new. The staff is always friendly and they're open late. I shared a bingsu for the first time and it was a fun experience all around. This is genuinely one of my favorite places in West Portal.“

“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!! 🙏💕😁“

“4.4
Excellent food. They prefer cash, venmo, or other tap payment options.
We ordered the Chinese Beef Vegetables, General Chicken, BBQ Rice, Crispy Chicken Wings, and Beef Chow Mein.
A very nice local atmosphere. My sense was that they prefer pick up orders.
Card payments seemed to be the 3rd preffered payment option, after cash and venmo.
The food made up for any inconvenience.
Definitely worth a visit!“

“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. 🥹👍💯“

“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.“

“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.“

“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🤤“

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

“The braised duck was absolutely delicious, the bone just falls off the meat. Egg noodles are al dente and a bit of alkaline and the soup is salty enough to be paired with a bite of noodles. Pickled veg was refreshing. The satay beef dish was ok, wouldn't recommend. Wontons were ok, would come back just for the duck!

Make sure you get here early.“

“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！“

“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 is a well kept hidden gem in the excelsior for cheap Filipino food. When I walked in, the place looked like a run down joint, but I saw the old lady serving as the cashier, and the chefs being elderly senior citizens. It breaks my heart to see elderly people still having to work, and I really urge people to support this place so they can afford more renovations and so one day the elderly staff can retire.

Besides that, the service was very friendly and straightforward. (Cash only!) Most of the meals are Filipino breakfast style silog meals, and they mostly serve Filipino proteins, but they also have fried chicken and popcorn chicken. The meals consist of garlic rice, egg, tomato chunks or pineapple chunks, and your choice of a protein. I got the spamsilog (6.50 as of 2026), (without any tomato or pineapple), and it came out delicious. It was simple, and so classic it just tasted right and comforting. A humble meal, with a generous portion, without lacking flavor. My only complaint about the food is the fried garlic pieces on top of the garlic fried rice. It usually comes out kind of burnt, and the burnt garlic pieces taste bitter and burnt. But you can easily just scoop out those garlic pieces on top, and throw it away. The garlic fried rice overall though is absolutely incredible, and even inspired me to make my own garlic rice at home.

I also ordered a side of popcorn chicken (16 pc), and it was a yummy filling snack. It does come in small pieces tho, as shown in the photo, with an adorable small to-go box. Each piece is roughly the size of a caramel popcorn piece, and the portion is a bit smaller, but it is 5 dollars after all, and I would recommend it as a snack, not necessarily a meal.

The service here was kindly and staightforwrd, and it only took me about 10ish minutes to get my order. Usually there is other customers here, but the wait time is never long. Unfortunately there is no indoor seating area (no dine in) so you just have to stand and wait for your order. The prices here are incredibly cheap, every order is less than 10 dollars, and I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a quick cheap filling meal or side order.

Please check this place out and support the people working here!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 🙂“

“I’ve been to pretty much all the big-name dumpling spots in SF, but Supreme Dumpling at Stonestown is my favorite.

The classic savory Xiao Long Bao is a 10/10. The skins are super thin but don't break when you pick them up, and the broth inside is incredibly rich and flavorful. But the real game-changer here is the chocolate XLB. A lot of places mess up dessert dumplings, but this is hands down the best version I've ever had. It’s the perfect way to end the meal.

The service is always quick and efficient. Since it's right in Stonestown, parking is a breeze compared to trying to find a spot on the street somewhere else, though the wait can get a little long during peak weekend hours. It's totally worth it, though.

Definitely a must-try if you're in the area!“

“Got a skinny hand-pulled noodle, a wide hand-pulled noodle, and a beef roll. The noodles were well made with great texture, and the soup/sauce had good flavor. Even ordering the highest spice level wasn't overly hot.
​The beef roll was just okay. I'd come back!
A staff member was making hand-pulled noodles in the kitchen area so check it out.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
