6 Best Chinese Restaurants in Placerville

“We had an amazing experience at Golden Dragon! The food was absolutely delicious — the Mongolian beef was excellent, the honey walnut shrimp was fabulous, and the garlic string beans (which I normally don’t even like) were a hit with everyone else. The orange chicken was great, the veggie chow fun was awesome, and the egg drop soup was to die for. Highly recommend this place — everything we tried was full of flavor and cooked perfectly!“

“We had a birthday dinner at Wonderful Chinese last night. When the reservations were made, I mentioned we were celebrating 3 birthdays. I did this to see if it would be okay to bring in a birthday cake and they said no problem. Much to our surprise when it was time for cake they brought out one, they had bought to add to the celebration. It was very touching and even more fun to hear Happy Birthday sung in Chinese. Thank you to everyone at Wonderful Chinese for a scrumptious dinner and helping us to make some special memories!“

“Quick, fresh and friendly service. The rangoons were nice and crispy, honey walnut shrimp was perfectly cooked and delicious, hot and sour soup was pleasantly spicy, and the cashew chicken and General chicken we had were also very tasty! Large portions, even for the combo meals. So glad we stopped here for dinner!“

“Amazing food“

“Asian Pearl Cuisine in Placerville is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu is packed with authentic dishes, but I have to highlight a few standouts from my visit: the fried wontons, the duck, and the lettuce wraps.

The fried wontons were crispy, golden perfection with a filling that was seasoned just right—no need for any extra sauces, though their house dipping sauce was a great complement. The duck was absolutely succulent, with a crispy skin that gave way to tender, flavorful meat. It’s clear they put a lot of care into preparing this dish, as it’s easily one of the best I’ve had in the area. Lastly, the lettuce wraps were a refreshing balance to the richness of the duck, with fresh, crisp lettuce and a savory filling that was both light and satisfying.

The service was top-notch, with staff that were attentive without being overbearing, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. If you’re ever in Placerville and craving some high-quality Asian cuisine, Asian Pearl is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu!
