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“

“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.“

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

“Very good! Loved getting the peanuts and cabbage salad as we sat down.

The best:
- pork and chive dumplings
- spicy wontons

Good:
- ground pork and tofu golden soup
- bbq steam buns

Underwhelming:
- cucumber salad. Normally I love this dish, but the flavor of the sesame oil and garlic did not come through on the cucumber. It tasted like the cucumbers were plated immediately after being crushed and chopped instead of getting some salt and 5-10 minutes of rest.“

“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.“

“I just back from Taiwan and was craving red braised beef noodle soup. This was better than most of the ones I had in Taiwan! Flavorful broth, chewy noodles, and tender meat. Highly recommend. I’ve already ordered it for delivery a few times and recommended it to a few friends.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Awesome! My family enjoyed it“

“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.“

“The moment you bite into any dish here, you KNOW it's fresh. What I loved the most was that each dumpling had sooo much meat in it and lots of flavor! They even have an open kitchen layout so you can watch them make the dumplings! If dumplings aren't your thing, definitely try their House Special Beef Noodle Soup and be sure to get the Marinated Beef appetizer. The garlic sauce it comes with is so good.

If you're looking for authentic, handmade dumplings, this is your place!

What we ordered:
* Beef, Lamb & Fish Dumpling
* Marinated Beef
* Cucumber Salad
* House Special Beef Noodle Soup
* Beef XLB
* Crab Roe XLB
* Iced Lychee Black Tea“

“Food ranges for me between a 3.5-4.5 I typically like the Hunan Smoked Pork, Potstickers, and Sesame Beef. The Shanghai Chicken is also good. Those dishes rarely disappoint. This is mostly American style Chinese food with a Southern China focus.“

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

“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🤤“

“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. 🤩“

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

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

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

“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.“

“They are somehow fused with Sassy Vegan, and the food was incredible!! Very authentic and delicious. Any vegan in San Francisco should come here!! Get the Sesame Buns - you will not regret it! Also: ask the waitress about what they'd recommend, she pointed us to some amazing options and it was a 10/10.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 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.“

“Win Garden is the definition of comfort food done right. From the first bite, you can tell this is a place that puts care into every dish. The flavors are bold yet balanced, portions are generous, and the menu has all the classics you crave.

The standouts for me are the fresh, perfectly crisp vegetables in the stir-fries, the tender BBQ pork, and their consistently delicious fried rice. The dumplings are another must—light, savory, and full of flavor. Everything always comes out hot, well-seasoned, and satisfying.

Service is friendly, fast, and reliable whether you’re dining in or ordering takeout. The staff make you feel welcome and always remember regulars, which adds to the neighborhood charm. Prices are very fair for the quality and portions, making it easy to order a family-style spread without breaking the bank.

Win Garden isn’t just a spot for a quick meal—it’s the kind of place you keep in your rotation because it always hits the spot. Tasty, consistent, and comforting.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great value takeout dimsum, with good amount of variety. This is our go-to place when we want dimsum without paying yumcha prices. Sometimes a small line but moves very fast. Some smaller items are sold as an order (3x), so make sure to clarify if you want just 1 or one order (3x). They also have some hot foods but we have yet to try.“

“We ordered a few dishes. My favorite is the hot and sour soup, sour, spicy, flavorful, lots of tofu, shiitake mushrooms, golden needle. Beef noodle soup seems to have mala spice, not my typical beef noodle soup, didn’t enjoy it much, though I liked the hand pull noodle texture! Soup dumplings skin a bit thick and pork was not as tasty. No shredded ginger which I thought it’s a must for soup dumplings?“

“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.“

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

“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!! 🙏💕😁“

“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.“

“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!“

“Enjoyed the lunch there. Ordered some beef noodle soup, two lamb dishes, one cold salad , dumpling bao, pan fried green beans. All tasted excellent. Of course the stars are noodles and lamb. The damage is under 100 for 3 with some left over.“

“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.“

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

“I was in the area with a hungry stomach where I needed some breakfast. I passed by here so many times when it was the old place and when it is what it is now. Upon arrival, there was a line out the door, but that did not bother me since I am a very patient person. They offer many different delicious dim sum dishes such as siu mai, ha gow, steamed chicken feet, steamed spareribs and much more. Also they have a variety of steamed or bake buns like the famous pork bun. If you are really hungry they have a rice plate special where you can choose 3 entrees with steamed white rice for a fair cost. And next to their steamed table they have fried goods, eggrolls, fried shrimp puff, Chinese doughnut, etc. Lastly they have frozen foods where you can cook it at home. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and understanding where it made my visit a satisfying one. This place is cash and takeout only, so please plan accordingly and have some cash on you. I highly recommend this place to anyone on a limited time, to all Chinese food enthusiasts and if you just so happen to be in the area just like me. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 🙂“

“Comfort foods with a variety of specialty cuisines. Especially enjoy their Laksa, comparable to Singapore’s 😇. Helpful and friendly staff.“
