25 Best Chinese Restaurants in Riverside

“We’ve been coming to P.F. Chang’s in Riverside ever since this location opened, and over the years we’ve had plenty of good experiences—but Kyle is hands down the best server we’ve ever had.

Every time my family and I come in, we always look for Kyle and hope he’s working. He is consistently friendly, attentive, personable, and genuinely makes us feel welcome. He remembers us, takes great care of our family, and somehow manages to make every visit feel special.

Great service can completely change a dining experience, and Kyle is a huge reason we continue to enjoy coming back to this location. Employees like him are hard to find, and P.F. Chang’s Riverside is incredibly lucky to have him.

Kyle, thank you for always taking such great care of our family. You truly are the best!“

“We tried to call and make a delivery order and they asked us to hold and sent the phone down and never came back. We were very disappointed because we were very hungry after a hard day work and we waited and waited and waited and waited and then we hung up and tried to call back. I need to find out that voicemail or another line was not available. Should I post it?

😃👍 Thanks to the Owner and Staff! We didn’t wanna miss out. I’m trying Mr. You,
So my roommate drove over And picked up our order. We had Kung pow chicken, fried rice, eggrolls, wontons, chow mein, orange chicken. The service was great and I want to apologize for my impatience and change my rating. Thank you so much for the wonderful food. It was delicious.“

“Food was fresh and absolutely delicious! We had the Wor Wonton soup with extra wonton, the romantic shrimp (half order of honey walnut shrimp and half order sweet pungent shrimp), bbq pork, and Kung pao chicken lo mein. We will definitely be back! The service was quick, efficient and made is feel right at home.“

“Small, but MIGHTY restaurant! I came on a Friday during lent, so alot of the menu was limited for me:
Singapore noodles (w/ shrimp) 10/10
Salt and Pepper Squid (asked for extra spicy) 12/10 **unreal flavor, better than ANY salt&pepper calamari!**
Hong Kong style dry noodles, veggie 10/10 dry, almost chewy/crunchy texture with amazing veggies
Egg Drop Soup, phenomenal 10/10 added a little white pepper to it, but flavor was immense! Great amount of green onion!
7up w/ salted lemon 💪🏽
Literally 5 for 5 with greatness...can't go wrong here and the service was amazing and courteous as well. Will come up to Riv just for this“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve visited. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and everything was served fresh. The customer service was exceptional—everyone was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the meal.Highly recommended!“

“This place is in a congested parking lot that brings a lot of traffic. They have the trad A, B, and C plate options for 1, 2, or 3 entrees their fried rice and steamed rice are well made for the meals and bowls. They also make soups to order that are fairly exceptional. I'm not trying to judge Mr. You against Panda Express, which isn't fair, Panda is more commercialized. However, against China Doll or your local Asian food restaurant, they are outstanding. Their sweet and sour entrees, hot wings, and spicy orange chicken place them high on the return visit list. Sometimes, their servers are pushy and less than courteous. However, the food will bring in the customers, while customer service improves. I recommend Mr. You's Chinese Food highly.“

“It was a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The burgers and grilled meats were juicy and cooked perfectly, and the fries were crispy and delicious. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant had a clean, welcoming atmosphere. If you enjoy hearty meals and quality meat dishes, I would definitely recommend giving Meat Lover a try.“

“Great food and prices. nice people.“

“Awesome foods always fresh, peking duck is our fam favorite’s 😋👍“

“i’d been wanting to come visit this place ever since i visited the area and could smell the food from outside! came here with my girlfriend and i and we were both happily surprised with the portion sizes and the service. ordering through the website made everything so much easier and since we are both a bit shy, it helped lots! our drinks were refilled and the food was amazing. the noodles were so flavorful in both plates, but especially my biang biang noodles! the broth from my girlfriend’s dish was very spicy aswell, i found it refreshing. overall, it was a nice experience! it wasn’t very crowded in there either, the atmosphere was pleasant.“

“I’m impressed with the server Diana, she can remember orders without writing things down and made our experience at the restaurant really nice! The food is affordable and you get a drink with an entree at lunch times starting at 11 a.m. as an UCR alumni it feels great coming back!“

“Couldn't get our food today because you guys were closed for what reason do you get to be closed from June 28 to July 7th? Um not supposed to be closed as a business that long without an explanation and posted on door and online, it says open but it isnt. The food here is great and we come from Barstow when down here in Riverside for drs appointments and you weren't open on the day we were down here!!! Thats so wrong.“

“good food and good customer service“

“Under new ownership now the food is Great and so is the Service.“

“ALL YALL LISTEN UP
This is THE best chinese food I have ever tried in my whole life. This is real, authentic chinese cuisine. I been coming here for more than 10 years. I needed to write a review.

When Im in the mood for some chow mein and teriyaki chicken, I don't think of no boot leg panda or pf chang. NAH I think of THIS place right here!!! SO bomb, I wish them ongoing success in their business forever. They'll have my business for sure. Portions and prices are extremely reasonable too.“

“We stop here often since it sits on our route. Most visits deliver strong flavor and big portions for fast food Chinese. The funny part comes when the guys assemble the order. Portions shrink fast. When the women up front handle the boxes, the lid fights for its life. Timing matters. After dinner rush, trays look fresher and less dry. Still worth a stop if you accept a little portion roulette.“

“I ordered a Family Meal which is 3 entrees, soup, 6 egg rolls, 4 almond cookies, rice and chow mein. I added 5 cream cheese wonton and paid a total of $44.78, it's a great deal and the food is good! We got mushroom chicken, beef broccoli and shrimp chop suey. Liked them all.“

“Everyone was right, huge portions for a good price. If you are looking to stuff your gut you have come to the right place.

Only thing off-putting was the vegetable egg roll. The middle was cold. Not like luke-warm...actually refrigerator-cold.

Maybe they popped them out of the fridge, rolled the outside on the flat top, then stuck them under the heat lamp and hoped for the best.

As a holder of a food-handlers card... The food is in the danger-zone AF.

If you are one of those people who can leave pizza on the stove overnight, eat it in the morning, and not get sick, this place is for you.

I am, so I'll be back.“

“The Panda Express food I have had here was not as good as other Panda Express locations. However, I was able to use my dining dollars and eat here, so I did! I would highly recommend you check out the Panda Express when you have the chance to visit UC Riverside!“

“I like Hong Kong Express the walnut shrimp and Teriyaki chicken.“

“Perfection, without a doubt recommend. This is the quality food you deserve to it, not that burnt msg noodles and dried up orange chicken from panda express. Panda will have limits to scoops but here, oh you will eat good because those big scoops are actually worth the price.“

“I really like this place, although I have seen a change recently, I wouldn’t know how to explain it though. It’s like the servers have a different vibe.
My one, and only issue is that the chow mein could have a little more vegetables in it. Just today, I was able to find no more than 10 tiny pieces of cabbage.
Also, I got a normal size box lol like what?? lol We’re so used to the huge box! I’m not complaining, I know that is completely extra from them.“

“Hands down the best Chinese food place ever!“

“Pleasantly surprised. The chow mien was good. I came a little late and they made some fresh teriyaki chicken and was very good. The house chicken with vegetables was very good also. For those who need extra flavor, they have sauces for that. Teriyaki, soy sauce and sweet sauce. The owners were friendly even though I came late. I will return and recommend it to others.“
