50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Pacoima

“09/20/2025

I was here often around the end of 2019.
I remember they used to have good chicken wings. I haven't been here since then untill today, and I won't be here maybe for years atleast since I eat almost everywhere.

By the way... if you're on a budget, this place is a good place to eat. Their portion is generous and the foods are good. The Chinese lady who take your orders, scoop the foods, and charge you on the register has been very nice everytime I visit this place, doesn't matter how long she hasn't seen me, she's always kind.“

“Shout out to Nancy for the info on the restaurant. I got two, 2 combo items and they packed them out. I got the orange and spicy chicken with half n half. They tasted fresh and great. I will definitely stop by there again family friendly environment.“

“The sweet lady at the counter told me everything on the menu was good after I asked. And once I ate my food I understood completely. I ordered some wonton soup. It’s the best I’ve had in LA 😋 but i definitely believe everything else on the menu is equally as fire. It was so yummy“

“My friend and I were stressed about needing a place to work with our laptop and grab a quick bite.

The team here (esp Jeff and Eneida) showed so much kindness and patience. And the food was so yum. Grateful for the group here - really solid team that made our stressful day a lot better. Very efficient, organized and kind.

12/10 experience and bigger Panda Express fan now“

“Had a fantastic dinner here last night, and a big part of that was our server, Ash. Ash was warm and genuine, gave great recommendations, and kept our drinks and plates taken care of all night without us ever having to flag anyone down. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed. Ash is the kind of server who makes you want to come back. Highly recommend asking for Ash's section.“

““Had a great experience at Chowking. The food came out fresh, hot, and flavorful, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the visit. The restaurant was clean, service was quick, and everything was well organized even during busy hours. The Halo-Halo and siopao were especially good, and the portions were satisfying. Definitely a solid spot for comfort Filipino-Chinese food in the area. Looking forward to coming back again soon!”“

“A Los Angeles tradition. been visiting since the 80s and they still have their mojo! delicious! Personal favorites noodles in peanut sauce and szechuan dumplings.“

“I really enjoyed the food and it was not very pricey at all. Most of the plates, even the favorites at that, we’re about $15… Everything on the menu is Vegan 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“In MY opinion the food is good but is pricey the place is ok I would just suggest for more tables but food is delicious I always go there and get the big soup and I have to order rice and flat noodles and its delicious but it depends on how people like it and money costs but this is a newer rating for the people who want it and this is not fake advertising.“

“was absolutely delectable that night kung pao chicken sweet and sour chicken Walnut glaze shrimp fried combo rice it was so good we ate everything. but mosquitoes inside a restaurant was intolerable I went out with five at least five bites. I don't know if you need insect spray there but that was a bad night it was 100 outside and inside there were plenty of mosquitoes Dr Phil“

“Excellent food, freshly cooked and really delicious . Top notch customer service, owners Leo and Claudia welcomes all guest like welcoming them to their house. The price is very reasonable, all the friends I brought to them enjoyed and loved the food. Highly recommended, it’s a hidden gem in Sun Valley…. 5 star overall….“

“Been coming here for as long as I can remember - I suppose as long as this iteration has existed. The H.Way Frontier is a place you’re introduced to early on if you’re below the line film crew in Burbank running with a rigging or art dept./set Dec crew. This storefront carries on the tradition as I’ll often bump into fellow industry crew here.
All that stuff is well and good but the real reason we congregate here is THE FOOD. There are other good Chinese restaurants in LA but this place to me is by far the best. Consistently wonderful, delicious, very good portion sizes and a nice menu variety. It’s quick (15 minutes or less) and the lunch specials are a great deal. I’m not usually this gushy about anything but Frontier Wok Too deserves every bit of praise I can throw at it. If my family is in the mood for Chinese Food there’s only one choice for us and that is right here. With no traffic it’s still a 20 minute drive one way but it’s worth every minute once we’re sitting down to eat it. You can’t go wrong at Frontier Wok Too. If you haven’t tried it you simply must and you can be the judge.“

“Nice quiet restaurant I found while waiting on my friend at a nearby store. Stephanie who served me was very nice and pleasant the entire time! The orange chicken was pretty good, battered moist and sweet, but because I was in a hurry I didn't get to fully check out the menu so next time I will definitely try something else.“

“Some of the best food I've had in my life. Our server was super friendly and helpful in serving our large family and a ton of fun. I love their round tables too that can seat 10 or more, great for conversation with large groups. Highly recommend!!“

“Yo.... Northern Cafe is so good. The beef fried rice was 🔥 the beef pancake was 🔥 the chicken soup dumplings was 🔥 the pork wontons in spicy was 🔥 and the house special beef soup was 🔥 the popcorn chicken was 🔥 and the cucumber salad was 🔥 10 out of 10“

“If you like Panda Express, this is the restaurant that started it all. Food is much better here, and there is a much larger selection than Express. Friendly staff, and great portions. You will not leave hungry.
From the wontons and paper chicken, to the orange chicken and Mongolian beef. We usually go with at least 5 of us, and 3 plates feeds us all. With a couple of apps, of course.
If you've never been, give them a try.“

“💯 % recommend go now and try“

“I had dinner at Gourmet Palace China Bistro on Saturday around 6:30 PM with my family and ordered the orange chicken, beef with broccoli, shrimp fried rice, and a basket of steamed dumplings to share. Everything came out fresh and hot in about 15 minutes. The orange chicken had a crispy coating with a flavorful sauce that wasn't overly sweet, and the beef was tender with plenty of fresh broccoli. The shrimp fried rice had generous pieces of shrimp and wasn't greasy, and the dumplings were soft with a tasty filling. Our server checked on us a couple of times, kept our drinks refilled, and made sure we had extra plates for sharing. The restaurant was clean, the portions were generous, and we even had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. It was a great family dinner, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.“

“I have been eating here for years.
This is the kind of place where the staff remembers your name.
Any dish you order here will be amazing.
I cannot say that there is a favorite for me here. I usually end up taking too much time deciding on my order, because, I can't make up my mind most of the time. There are however times when I have something in mind already.“

“Black bean fish was superb! It came out hot and fresh in the fish was so fluffy and flavorful in the sauce. It was delightful. I grew up ordering house special fried rice, but my husband prefers chicken fried rice. Most times I’m disappointed and longing for my childhood staple but this chicken fried rice was actually flavorful and delicious. The chicken was very fresh and tender. Now, unfortunately, I ordered the roast duck and roast pork plate and left most of it on the table. It may be because it was the end of the day, but it was very lackluster. It tasted stale. The skin was not crispy and we almost asked to have it taken off the bill, but I did eat a lot of the duck so we just know not to order it again. The duck was at least edible. The pork was not. It was just so dry and lacked flavor. The skin looked crispy, but it was not crispy at all. It was leathery.“

“we come here often for their lunch specials and yummy food“

“The stir-fried noodles with chicken and broccoli at this place were honestly the best part of my night after the Dodgers game. I am basically the whole package, so a smart, cute guy should reach out before someone else catches on. You know where to find me.“

“Dined here around 3:30pm and it was empty, so great time to come! We ordered sweet & sour chicken, orange chicken, chicken chow mein, and Mongolian beef and all dishes were delicious! Portions are big (we all got small but we all had lots of leftovers).

They also have boba milk tea which was one of the best we've ever had. It wasn't too sweet and tasted like they actually used real tea. Perfect for a hot day.

Prices were good and the employees were friendly. Def a good place to go for Chinese cuisine.“

“Nu Great Wok is one of those spots you’re really glad you found.

From the moment you walk in, it’s clean, quick, and friendly — the kind of neighborhood Chinese restaurant that actually cares if you enjoy your meal. The staff is always welcoming and the food comes out hot and fresh.

What really stands out is the lunch menu. They have a great selection — all the favorites like General Tso’s, orange chicken, beef with broccoli, sesame chicken, vegetable dishes, fried rice/lo mein options — and it’s all at very reasonable prices. You get a solid portion, not a skimpy one, so it’s perfect for a workday lunch or a quick bite without spending a lot.

Food quality is consistently good: sauces are flavorful, veggies are crisp, and the meat actually tastes fresh, not overcooked. Plus, they’re pretty fast, so you’re not waiting forever.

Overall, Nu Great Wok is exactly what a good local Chinese place should be: tasty food, plenty of choice, fair prices, and friendly service. Highly recommend, especially for lunch. 🥡✨“

“The food is delicious. :)“

“The absolute best place for dim sum in the SCV 🥟“

“I love this place my family has been coming here since I was a preschool and I’m 25 now and I was so devastated when the fire happened. I was having withdrawals from the food I missed it so much. I am grateful to the owners who kept it operating after the fire and the pandemic. The food is exactly how I remembered it! My favorite is the wonton soup and of course their chili oil! I come here once a month when I can.“

“My partner and I have come to consider this our spot in Burbank. It’s always nice to come here when I’m in town. Delicious, affordable, and comfortable. I’m a vegetarian, and I’ve been able to order something different every time I’ve gone. Nothing I didn’t like! I also enjoy getting to refill my metal water cup at the table or ordering hot tea and refilling that little cup with the teapot. It’s the little things.“

“We used to have a Paik Noodle’s in our area, and it sadly closed 😭😭. Excited to find one within driving distance. Very clean, good service, and the food was delicious!

We walked in really late but they were very hospitable and we were still able to eat in.

We ordered the jjajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, soy garlic wings, and sweet and spicy wings. Everything was delicious. You can’t go wrong.
They gave us some jjambong (soup only) as well. That was also delicious. We seriously ate it all.“

“MANDY is a WONDERFUL and EXCELLENT representative for Panda Express ! Mandy works at the Panda Express located at 25902 McBean Parkway, Santa Clarita CA 91355. Every time I've visited this restaurant, I've observed Mandy cheerfully and effectively responding to EVERY customer. She brightens the entire restaurant with her intelligence, energy, quick efficiency, and her genuinely friendly personality. All the customers love Mandy because she remembers each customer and their personal preferences, she very quickly and accurately fills orders, and she brightens everyone's day with her intelligent positive personality and with the genuine way that she makes EVERY customer feel welcome and deeply appreciated. Mandy is WONDERFUL and EXCELLENT !“

“Want to give a shout out to the wonderful staff and chefs. Felt like home. And wisdom came with the meal. That part is rare but was so appreciated. Great for an evening meal. Enjoy the wide variety of options, both traditional or healthy/modern.“

“Best Chinese food in town“

“Such an amazing hole-in-the-wall! It is what you expect for 'Express' Chinese-American food. The food is solid and the portions are, of course, enormous! This may not be your TOP Chinese spot, but if you're in the area and want to feel extra full, this is the spot to go. Definitely worth it if you live around here!“

“Not only do you get great fresh Chinese food, at very reasonable prices, but the service of the restaurant is top notch. Mary and Peter are the servers and they make sure that every customer is well taken care of. With how many people eat there you know the food is fresh and delicious. The portions are big, They have delicious healthy options as well. Check out their lunch specials. We eat at Rice Wok about 4 times a month, and Peter and Mary offer the hospitality and service that will spoil you.“

“The best pad Thai I’ve ever had. I drive 30 miles just to have it“

“Off menu item, they are REAL Chinese. Food is legit. I’m extremely critical of Asian food when it’s not legitimate. This one is legit. This is not the other A&W, they also don’t operate on uber eats or doordash, order in person or call their name card. Amazing legit Chinese food made by born and bred Chinese chef from China“

“I used to frequent this place circa 2001-2002. Does anyone know what happened to the people who owned it at that time?“

“Everything we ordered was 😋delicious. These guys are same as Roscoe and Topanga Szechuwan Garden!!! Yum Yum“

“I love the new location and the Dim Sum served all day and night!“

“I am highly critical and have a very high standard when it comes to Asian cuisine, but I can confidently say that Western Wok was fantastic. The lettuce wrap filling was incredibly flavorful—I devoured it all in a matter of five minutes. The fried rice was equally impressive, and I appreciated that the dumplings were perfectly cooked, rather than overcooked and mushy. They certainly don't skimp on the portions either; I have plenty of leftovers for a late-night snack (or breakfast tomorrow). I highly recommend Western Wok if you're craving delicious Asian cuisine, and I look forward to ordering from them again soon!“

“The best Chinese in L.A !!! Always fresh & made to order.. excellent service too!“

“We've been ordering from Golden Hunan for years. The food has always been great. Whenever we decide on Chinese food there's only one place our family will agree on. Golden Hunan has never disappointed. Fast delivery and the food is always hot and fresh.“

“Been here many times and never had a complaint. The food is always good and fresh, large portions and very reasonable price. The Japanese chicken is killer and cant be found elsewhere. Also there are two noodle options, chow mein or rice noodles and they're both good. Its always clean and they have a large selection of options. Chicken wings are made to order and always taste good. There are closer chinese food places to me but I will drive here over them, its worth it 10/10 will visit again (and again and again)“

“Great Chinese Food. Brought the whole family and everyone loved it. Highly recommend the spicy calamari!!“

“Great place. A cozy, family-friendly atmosphere and delicious food - the steamed peas served with the shrimp, lobster sauce, and steamed rice, podded peas were incredibly fresh. The Thai tea was amazing. The vibe is fantastic 👌

UPD: Visit this place once again, wu wonton soup is perfect with fried shrimp chips if you deep it inside is awesome, veggies inside steal fresh and steamed 🥦🫛🥬; Pineapple chicken 🍗 also cool with freshly sliced pineapple 🍍 😋

Coolest thing that everything sliced fresh and steamed 🔪💨

One thing that make me little bit sad (but this because of my knowledge of english, it's really bad because I'm not a native speaker. This is my second time at this establishment. I ordered food on the spot, but instead I got to-go, but they brought me plates later and I moved food by myself. No, it's really just me. I even pronounce soup incorrectly, as soap. And when I asked for a plate for soup, I asked for a bowl instead of a pot.“

“I had a satisfying visit at Chowking. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The staff were friendly, courteous, and attentive, and my order was prepared quickly. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, making the dining experience enjoyable. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the service and will definitely come back again.“

“Loved the pan fried chicken bao. The stuffing was delicious and the dough was filling but not heavy or too oily. Definitely would go back to try more of their bao and dumplings. The noodles were alright maybe I got them on an off day. They felt a bit overcooked and mushy but the flavor was nice for the stir fry shrimp garlic noodle.“

“I ordered here by accident, intending to make an order at a similarly named restaurant many miles away. I called and explained what happened while also expressing that it was my mistake. I was pleased to see a credit processed the next day. Based on customer service alone, I will try to visit when I’m in the area. Thank you!“

“Literally the best Chinese food for vegans in LA. Any bad reviews, you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. The woman who helped us was so nice and helpful and amazing five stars. We will definitely be eating here whenever we’re craving Chinese food thank you so much Good China!“
