50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Pacifica

“This was our first time eating at Soul Rice. When we entered, we saw how many people were eating in and how many people were picking up their dinner orders. From the moment we went in, we were greeted by Angelo who took care of us while we dined in the restaurant. We ended up ordering the Kung Pao Tofu, Walnut Shrimp with Pumpkin as well as the Chicken Curry Rice. Everything tasted absolutely delicious. We were quite impressed with the food, and definitely plan on coming back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good place to get relatively affordable house made noodles and pancakes. Not too different from other hole in wall places. Great service and staff. I wanted to try their sesame pancake but they were out. Got their vegetable pancakes instead. Would come back again if i was in the area“

“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.“

“Solid Korean and Chinese food Restaurant. My husband and I favorite food is their spicy marinated raw crab so addicting and delicious. We usually order the crispy garlic scallops, HK noodles and crispy garlic string beans. So far majority of their food has been really good and tasty. All the staff are friendly and courteous. The owner is husband and wife they are so friendly and very welcoming so pleasant to talk to. Their portion is big“

“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.“

“Not a fan of their Mongolian Beef but the salt and pepper pork chop was solid. You can even taste the MSG 😋🫢

Not much people were dining in on a Sunday night but there were a lot of take out pick ups. I would likely come back for the pork chops and try other dishes next time.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“We stopped by for an early dinner after spending the afternoon at Golden Gate Park. The restaurant was very nice, clean, simply decorated. All the staff members were kind and helpful. The food was good, except for the tofu that I had. I asked them to make it non-spicy, however, I got a spicy tofu with veggies. My stomach doesn't do well with spicy food and after an hour I started having bad nausea and belching that lasted all evening, I couldn't go to bed till late because I didn't tolerate laying flat.
Please honor people's requests so they can have a nice experience.“

“this place This is hands down some of the most authentic noodle soup I've had in SF. The noodles, broth, toppings—everything tastes exactly like what I want when I'm craving a proper bowl of Asian noodles. Honestly better than any of the more hyped-up places in the city.

PLEASE start offering delivery!! I would genuinely order from here every day if I could.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“It was my first time visiting here, and I came with my friend. We both had the Wuhan noodles the lady working there recommended us, and it was so delicious! She was also very kind and helped us by explaining the way to eat it. The atmosphere was nice with a warm atmosphere and had mostly families dining in.“

“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.“

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

“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 came to Yuanbao mainly for the soup dumplings, and while I thought they were good, the beef noodle soup is where this place really shines. The noodles were incredibly fresh with the perfect texture, and the broth had so much depth and flavor. You can really tell that time and care went into cooking it. The beef was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the broth and noodles.

The atmosphere is another highlight. The restaurant has a cozy, authentic feel that genuinely makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a restaurant somewhere in Asia. It’s a cute and comfortable spot that would be great for bringing the family or enjoying a casual meal with friends.

Another big plus: parking is super easy! There’s a free parking lot right out front, which makes stopping by especially convenient.

Overall, I’d definitely come back — especially for that beef noodle soup! If you’re visiting Yuanbao, don’t overlook it. 🍜🥟“

“Been there twice and tried most of the vegetarian dishes, and LOVE all them! Great food, decor and service! Will go back with more friends! 😍“

“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!“

“This is probably the best roast duck you can get in the area. I went on Thanksgiving and there were about 60 people in line waiting to get some of their duck and other BBQ meats. The quality of the duck is great and it is super flavorful. Def go give it a try!!“

“First this is a great mom and pop restaurant, good portions, lot of variety. Second, reading reviews, don't you think it a bit suspicious when exact same review word for word with different people even months or a few years apart? Some of the review is ok but the one about being next door to the Hilton is not here.“

“The Lazi Chicken plate was so good! The fried spicy chicken with pickled carrots was just the right amount of spice. And the burgers with that same spicy fried chicken were equally as good. Staff was friendly, restaurant was kept clean including the bathroom. Nice spot!“

“It's a Hong Kong Tyler food according to the owner. Food was very good“

“My daughter and I were glad that we decided to try out this place with authentic rice noodles, and many delicacies such as marinated pig ear, beef tripe, and marinated pig intestines, that one usually does not find on the menus of everyday conventional Asian restaurants. The atmosphere is upbeat and casual, with many local parents and grandparents bringing their children for a solid Chinese meal.

Located in the Sunset District at the intersection of 19th Street and Travaval Street, the restaurant is easy to find, and street parking is generally available. The locals of the area seem to frequent this place.

My daughter and I found our entrees succulent and healthful. We each enjoyed the cucumber salad (pictured below).

The menu offers a wide variety of options, including many marinated beef and chicken options with rice noodles.“

“We had a wonderful experience the staff was friendly and the food was amazing. It was our first time having dumplings and they were so good we had the soup dumplings and the pork with Napa cabbage they were juicy inside and the outside was slightly chewy. We also had the chicken chow mein which my husband devoured the noodles were soft and chewy pretty sure they were hand made and you can taste it. I’m sad we don’t live closer we would be eating here often. We were in town for the weekend and wanted a new experience and we definitely had one at this family owned restaurant. It was a pretty busy place with many food delivery people coming in so it must be very popular on the apps too. 10/10 would recommend“

“We have been here several times now and the food is excellent. Great variety, good value, large portions, and speedy service. Everything is fresh and the owners are friendly. Street parking is usually fairly easy and there is rarely much of a wait. Will definitely return.“

“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.“

“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.“

“For a city with uncontrollable inflation and sky rocketing prices. This no frills chinese fast food restaurant gives you some of the best bang for your buck. Fried rice with 2 item combo is only $7.50. I got 4 pieces of fried chicken for only $2.50. These prices are insane. I’m not sure how they stay in business.“

“Holy crud this place is excellent! Fresh homemade dumplings and the food was clean, non greasy, simply delicious. Friendly staff and service. Will definitely eat here again when I fly back to the area. It’s a perfect stop to and from the airport.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best service, would recommend to come here.“

“Excellent cuisine and service“

“We were disappointed with our previous favorite Sichuan restaurant on our second visit there. We found this Michelin recommended restaurant as a replacement. We were very impressed. The quality was on par with the best restaurants in Asia, which is a rarity in the US. The beautifully photographed menu made item selection easy. The veggies even turned out better than the picture in the menu. They truly deserve all those awards on their wall. We will make it our regular chinese restaurant from now on.
My wife's干煸肥肠was the best she had ever had.“

“Awesome! My family enjoyed it“
