50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Placentia

“This place is a hidden gem! Not fancy, but some special people work there! Helpful, sweet and the food?? To die for! My mom wanted an old fashion Chinese restaurant, like she enjoyed back in the 80's this place did not let her down. We loved everything about it and we are forever customers, thank you guys for a great dinner. We will be back. God bless you and keep you safe always.“

“They recently switched to a self-serve style where you can choose your own food and pay by the pound. It’s a great change — especially since seafood is included at the same price as everything else! Lots of variety, very reasonable pricing, and you get to try a little bit of everything.
If you prefer the old way, you can still order individual combo plates, so there’s something for everyone. Great value overall!“

“Good food but a little pricey for me, would go back but not to often.“

“Compared to a few years ago, a few of the menu classics from Kawasanja are still there!And then the surprise is that there are a lot of new dishes too!“

“I had an amazing experience at Happy Valley Village! Their iron-stew pot dishes are absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned and served piping hot! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. If you're in Hacienda Heights, you have to check this place out; you won't regret it!“

“the lady was so sweet and nice for me and bf first time there , the portions are true she gives good customer service she takes care of her customers i would recommend her restaurant. Food and vibes are good energy feeling homey and welcoming.“

“Was pretty good, lots of small bites! I’m used to more kbbq style, but the experience and the aesthetic made the dinner here really fun. You order from and iPad, and the selection options are bit overwhelming as a first timer. Got a variety of meats (beef and pork - both good) the cucumber was fresh and perfect to cut through the heaviness, and the arctic surf clams were my favorite!“

“The Hainan chicken was tender and juicy, and the skewers were wel-seasoned!
The restaurant's interior is very cozy, decorated with plants and Chinese-themed items.
Ordering is easy with the QR code on each table, which is convenient.
This spot specializes in potato noodles, skewers, and Hainan chicken.
Combo #1 comes with two bowls of rice and soup, a plate of chicken, cucumber salad, and fried peanut. The rice is very fragrant and the chicken was tasty with the sweet and spicy sauces.
The potato noodles is very tasty. I will say the best one in LA. If you want to add more protein to the soup that’s good. It is also good for the original recipe. I absolutely love the numbing, peppery flavor of Sichuan pepper in potato noodles.“

“Haidilao City of Industry is amazing. The service is outstanding and the staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. The food is fresh, flavorful, and fully customizable, and the restaurant is clean with a great atmosphere. Easily one of the best hot pot experiences—highly recommend.“

“I personally love their jajangmyeon. The best jajangmyeon I ever had was at Yong Moon Lu @ Rowland Heights (please try their gan-jajangmyeon/간짜장), but this one is pretty good too. The jjamppong is not bad either.

I will definitely come here again.“

“I came here for a meal and was really impressed! I ordered the Beef Fried Rice and the Hunan-Style Fried Pork Slices, and both dishes tasted very authentic. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and just what I was hoping for. The service was friendly and the atmosphere felt welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a good Chinese meal. I’d definitely come back again !“

“The food here is fresh and tasty with plenty of options to choose from. The broth is flavorful, and you can adjust the spice level to your preference. The place is clean, service is friendly, and the food comes out quickly. Prices are reasonable, making it a good spot for a casual and satisfying meal.“

“Yelp waitlist doesn’t work on the app only in person when you arrive.
The approx wait time was still 30-45min+ depending on the size of your party.

If you’re open to ordering “to-go” would recommend that for sure! Love their product food pictures online to get a better understanding of what you’re going to eat.

Every single menus are so delicious.

Make sure you go party of 4 or more so you can order many different menus to enjoy.
Lastly, manager Steve has the best customer service!!“

“I was trying to find an old restaurant I used to visit for great Jjajangmyeon, and although this wasn’t the exact place I remembered, I was very satisfied.
They served a small egg soup as a welcome dish — warm, light, and comforting on an empty stomach.
During lunch time, I tried the stir-fried vegetables, which were fresh and perfectly seasoned without being too salty.
I also liked that they offered small-size bowls of Jjajangmyeon — just right for a light meal.
Everything tasted great, and I definitely recommend visiting this place!“

“Been coming here since the 90s when my mom would bring us as kids. We moved a few times and still make the drive. The owner and staff are very friendly and the food is sooooo good. I will post pics next time I go. I always forget and we all dig in. Its my husband's and kids favorite spot too. We come here for birthdays and just because and make the 1 hr 30 minute (thats with no traffic) drive . I love that this is now a tradition for my lil family.
We always get the wor wonton house special soup, shrimp fried rice, house special chow main. Manderine chicken and beef and broccoli . I highly recommend“

“I usually take out/delivery and this place is really good. It's a small business so it makes me feel good to support the community. You cannot go wrong with the Chinese food here at all. I also appreciate the variety of Chinese food available here, its not just orange chicken, but they have shrimp, pork, and fish dishes. Even the boba is really good and nice and chewy. Don't skip the boba here either.“

“This is the first time I was able to try authentic northeastern Chinese breakfast in California, and it really satisfied my cravings. The food is just like it is back in China and very delicious. The menu is short and simple which is my favorite since that means they specialize in specific foods. Must try for some authentic and delicious Chinese breakfast! The staff are very friendly too.“

“OC Friends - looking for an amazing new Chinese food place or longing for a place to bring you food better than the long lost Yen Ching? Look no further than Royal Wok Orange. Ordered: Egg drop soup Cream cheese wontons Egg rolls Beef chew mein Honey walnut shrimp ORANGE CHICKEN❤️ Chicken fried Rice THEY KILLED IT!“

“The place was empty so we were initially a bit doubtful. I’m glad we made the decision to stay because ALL of their dishes were delicious, not just their Hainan chicken but also their beef, wings, and even their stir fried veggies tastes like it came from much bigger restaurants.“

“Mixed bag. The fried pork (탕수육) was really good and came in a generous portion. But the jjajangmyeon (짜장면)—despite being pricier than other places—was no better, maybe even worse.

I would recommend this place for family event or meeting after golf or something“

“The waitress was very friendly and helpful with selecting our dishes. We had chicken chow mein and shrimp chow mein and a side of spring rolls. The food was very flavorful and brought to the table nice and hot. I would definitely come back again.“

“I took my dad to try it this afternoon. The ordering system is very simple and straightforward; just scan the QR code to order online. The lamb shank was tender, and I loved the sweet and crispy onion salad. The staff was very friendly and helped my dad heat up his food. I'm so glad I came here to try the food, but my only regret is that I don't live here and can't come every day.“

“Soft opening right now.free drink and discount.“

“First time here and we loved everything about it. Service is great, food was delicious from sizzling soup , salt and pepper fish, scallops with black bean sauce to fried banana with ice cream.
Really enjoyed it.
Will come back soon“

“The chinese pop music playing in here is pretty loud. The drinks are very large in size so it's definitely worth the purchase at $5. The noodles are pretty pricey but for the flavor and noodle quality i would say it's worth it. The noodles are perfectly chewy and absorb the broth flavors well“

“Good food, casual, great location and convenient.“

“Simple Taiwanese lunch bentos, generally $11 each (since March 2024 I believe), cash only. Check the Facebook page for the daily menu. There is one option each for chicken, pork, or fish. Additionally, I believe you can call in ahead of time to order a fried pork chop (no walk-in orders for that). Each bento comes with a small soup. Flavors are on the lighter side; if you prefer stronger flavors, you might not enjoy these bentos.“

“We've been coming here more than 20 years, almost since they opened. Some of the best Chinese food in OC, and I've gotten to know Daniel quite well. It's fairly small, but either dine-in or takeout, its worth a visit. Everything we've ever tried had been good.“

“This place feels really warm and welcoming — you can tell the owner put a lot of heart into it. They start you off with milk tea and some small side dishes, the restaurant is very clean, and the service is super friendly. Definitely a 100/100 recommendation!“

“We ordered a ton of food, and every dish was seriously yummy! The staff hooked us up with some great recommendations too—the stir-fried beef was super tender, and the chow mein was packed with goodies. Loved it all! The mung bean soup? Perfect for beating the summer！ prices is friendly…“

“Love their tofu skin dish.
Love their noddles, so original
The crispy pork is out of this world
Unlimited source and commentary are wonderfully satisfying
Can't speak more, try it yourself. I guarantee you have never tasted crispy pork like what they have. GUARANTEE!!!!“

“The food was delicious and the service was great! The restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend!“

“They make authentic Guilin rice noodles here. So you order the noodles through the QR code and you can get the condiments to add to the bowl. We had the Golden Broth Beef Brisket Rice Noodles and Premium Signature Noodles. Added a fried egg and Secret Recipe Braised Tofu. Quick service and would return.“

“This place is AWESOME! wow we were surprised to find this hidden gem.“

“Good Chinese food with family or friends“

“This was my second time visiting, and I loved the food and service. I’ve been to many halal restaurants around LA, so I can say the quality, quantity, and prices are spot on. In fact, the environment was very quite for family lunch or dinner.
​We ordered the honey walnut shrimp, the special three-flavor dough-sliced chow mein, orange chicken, and three-flavor fried rice but The honey walnut shrimp stole the show—it’s a must-have for shrimp lovers! The food looked so good that I forgot to take better pictures Lol. They also have Salaam cola. And their parking lot was so big.
See you soon...“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants, I've been going there for years.The food is just super, from the appetizers to the main dishes nothing has ever disappointed. When I walk through the door they know what I want to start off with and will occasionally recommend a new dish.“

“It is a good Chinese cuisine restaurant. I have visited this restaurant, once, in the middle of 2024, after leaving my work. So, after reading good reviews, about this establishment, I thought to have my dinner. Oh boy, I was not disappointed. The meals, that I have ordered, were delicious. Furthermore, they were well made. At the same time, the waitress, who attended my table, was helpful, and attentive. I forgot to add that there was ample of space, to sit down, and enjoy a meal. Still, I cannot vouch, about the ability of free space, on Fridays, or during weekend. Nevertheless, the tables, themselves, were neat. Of course, I cannot forget to mention, the prices were not on the expensive side. So, if anyone is in City of Industry or La Puente area, I would recommend to stop by this establishment. The deliciousness of meals is worth the visit.“

“This is the best Chinese food you'll ever have. The ingredients are fresh, the service is great, and the good prices are not compromised by quality.
The chow mein is excellent, the kung pow and orange chicken, crisp and flavorful, but mostly importantly the house chicken is divine.

Do yourself a favor and steer clear from other Chinese places a few blocks from here and come to Baby Panda.“

“Wow. I finally found an authentic Chinese restaurant with flavorful dishes, good pricing, and good service.

We had the Shanghai Juicy Xiao Long Bao, Wonton with Red Chili Sauce, Beef Filet w/ Black Pepper, Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp and the Wok Fried Rice w/ Crab Meat. Everything was AMAZING!!!

10/10 spot, will definitely be back. For anyone in the area, it’s a must try!“

“A Culinary Gem in the Heart of Westminster - BAOS HOG Review Stepping into BAOS HOG, you're immediately welcomed by a fusion of contemporary decor and inviting ambiance. This small, yet noteworthy establishment stands out in Westminster for its innovative approach to bao buns, often known as "baos." Each bao is a masterpiece, with the Hog special possibly being the star of the show. The pork is succulent and flavorful, indicative of the care in preparation. Accompanied by crisp, fresh vegetables and a secret sauce that adds an unexpected but delightful kick, it's a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. Beyond the baos, the menu is an eclectic mix, suggesting influences from various cuisines, a bold move that seems to pay off. The drinks selection complements the food, with both traditional options and more unique offerings, indicating that the proprietors are aficionados seeking to provide a full culinary experience. Service is efficient and warm.“

“Pickled Fish: The fish is so tender that it melts in your mouth, the sauerkraut is crispy and appetizing, the soup base is sour and spicy but not choking at all, every bite is full of sincerity! I especially like the light numbing aroma, paired with hot rice, it is simply a healing tool in winter!

Guobao Pork: Under the golden and crispy skin is tender and juicy tenderloin. The ratio of sweet and sour sauce is just right. You can hear the "click" when you bite into it! The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is definitely a textbook interpretation of Northeastern cuisine!

Home-style tofu: The tofu is fried until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It absorbs the fragrance of the sauce and is smooth and tender in the mouth without losing the bean flavor. Paired with the crispness of fungus and green pepper, it is full of texture, simple but full of homey taste, and it is a perfect meal!

The three dishes in this restaurant each have their own merits. The taste is authentic and the portions are substantial. You will become a fan after eating it once! Highly recommended to friends who love food~“

“First visit with a friend who has been there multiple times and is one of her favorites. Ordered Walnut Shrimp, MaPo Tofu, Sautéed Eggplant, "A" Vegetable, Hot Chili Pepper Whole Fish. All dishes were delicious. My only disappointment was the amount of fish ratio to the price. Extensive menu and looking forward to returning to try other dishes.“

“Good taste, cheap price, great portions. What more can you ask for in a Chinese restaurant? Especially when you’re craving some take out for the family or for yourself. This is a go to spot for me and my family. I highly recommend this place to anyone, the staff are very kind and hard working. I always see the same people working here all the time, this small business deserves more love!“

“Our first time here. This place is a hidden gem! We were in the mood for some Chinese takeout out and this spot exceeded our expectations! We had the orange chicken and another chicken sorry I don't know what it is called but everything was delicious. We came close to closing and the food was still 🔥🔥. The Mings (Aunties) were super friendly. 🙏🏽 Orkun“

“was fresh & flavorful great service“

“Food: 4*
Service: 5*
Ambiance: 3*

Stopped by here for dinner and we were not disappointed. All the food was fresh, tasty, and ample. We were a party of 8, so we ordered and good amount of food. Everything was great. The orange chicken was not as sweet as others and was really good.

Food break down:
The hot and sour soup was delicious, tasty and hit the spot.
The sliced fish in Szechwan sauce was fantastic. The fish was perfectly cooked and the heat was the right amount of spice and flavor.
The pork and cabbage dumplings were juicy and tender. I wished I ordered two orders of this.
The combination sautéed noodles was great as well. A good mix of pork, chicken, and seafood with a nice light sauce. Very tasty.
The pan seared green beans were delicious. Tender crisp with “the breath” of the wok which was slightly smokey. Always a favorite.
The combination fried rice was tasty and a good balance of flavors. For the rice lovers.
The braised eggplant was a surprise hit. Eggplant can be bland but this wasn’t. It had a nice blend of spice and flavor, and was a hit.
The beef with broccoli was delicious as well. Tasty and packed with tender crisp broccoli.

The service was great. The owner lady was attentive, helpful and gave good recommendations (sliced fish, hot and sour soup). The ambience was dated, but clean. No A/C made it hot while eating. All in all a great meal.“
