36 Best Chinese Restaurants in Rowland Heights

“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!“

“My five star rating is for the House Special Dragon Hair, also known as Dragon Whiskers, Dragon Beard, or Chayote Vines.

Served as a cold dish, it was fresh and crisp, definitely something you will crave again! I wish more restaurants served this vegetable entree!

As you can see below (I added photos for the entire Eat Joy Food menu) they have a massive menu of Taiwanese banquet style food options. So many items that it was a bit overwhelming but luckily we had a Taiwanese friend do the ordering for us.

As for ambiance, it’s average but the stinky tofu smell in the air was a bit tough to deal with. Pricing is a bit on the high end compared to Java Cafe (another Taiwanese spot nearby).“

“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“

“Super yummy… family favorite! I love the string beans and the fried hunan spicy pork! The service might vary because we are frequent customers but they are always kind and welcoming! The interior is pretty standard, didn’t really notice anything glaring the many times i’ve been here.“

“Chinese restaurant, friendly service, speaking Chinese!
Fried rice is delicious
Fried dumplings are delicious
Hot and sour soup is delicious
Beef burrito is delicious
Add raw chili?️even better?“

“Let's get to the point: BEST LAMB SOUP EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. ? Don't get me wrong, the lamb dumplings and the meat pies are both freaking excellent, but the soup just takes it to a whole next level. It's amazingly savory and flavorful and you can really taste the quality lamb and all that lamb flavor in the broth itself. ?

There is a full sauce bar where you can make sauces for your soup or your dumplings. The sauce bar also has complimentary soup broth for you to have with your meal or refill your soup, (though this is a much watered down version of the real entree soup item.) They also give out complimentary milk tea, edamame, and snack jerky for the table. We also got complimentary milk tea while you wait, as the line can be long during peak hours, (though it does move fast.) So much free stuff! ?

My friend who is from Inner Mongolia was the one that took me here, and even she was impressed and said this is the closest thing to the food from her hometown. ?

This was such a great experience and the food was so freaking good that this has become a destination spot whenever I can make it out here to Rowland Heights! ?“

“Pilaf and yogurt are good. The noodles mixed with cucumber and oily pork are delicious! The noodles are as good as those eaten locally in Xinjiang. The vegetables are made with good ingredients and fried just right. The slivers are chewy and chewy. The portion is a bit too small and you have to pay for extra noodles. The mutton kebabs were just so-so. The service attitude is very good, I will come again. Overall, it is a very good Xinjiang style restaurant?

Kid-friendliness: kids friendly food options and services“

“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~“

“Great Taste and very large portions. Two thumbs up! 👍👍“

“I’ve come to this restaurant for over 20+ years. It was always a go to Chinese-Korean place. Recently the ownership changed and they remodeled but I was scared the food might taste different. Thank God the food still tastes delicious!
Now with better service and cleaner atmosphere, we still come here often!“

“Very good home style meal. Not the cheapest, but good valued meal.“

“MIAN is such a great spot! We got the pork rib noodle soup and pork dumplings, and both were really good. The ribs were super tender, the broth had great flavor without being too greasy, and I love that they pack the noodles and soup separately so the noodles don’t get soggy. The dumplings were juicy and the sweet/spicy dipping sauce was spot on—not too spicy for the kids either.

The place is clean and chill, and the service was quick and friendly. Prices are super reasonable, which is always a win when eating out with the family.

Overall, it’s an easy, tasty meal that everyone enjoyed. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommend it to friends and family.“

“Very modern indoor environment! Have big screen with karaok songs, super relax ! And authentic Chinese style bbq food. Definitely recommend !“

“This is definitely one of the best tasty vegan restaurants in Southern California, or even the whole California since I’ve also lived in Bayarea for a little over 20 years.

I’m not a vegetarian but I enjoyed the foods so much, very tasty and offer huge varieties from the menu. They are NOT those dry undercooked vegetables you have in your mind, they have eggplants, pumpkins, tofu, meat-like stuff dishes made from soybeans .

The atmosphere may not be the best but the food is simply awesome!“

“The food quality and portion size have both gone down over the years. However, they are still above average compared to other restaurants, because the taste has not changed much.

My family and I have been coming for years; and recently their prices have increased too...“

“We go here for a quick & simple breakfast. The pick your own combo is a good deal: porridge + choice: lo mai gai (sticky lotus rice) + drink. The BBQ pork cheung fun is smooth with the right amount of chew and you can see it made to order through the glass sometimes. The staff are friendly and attentive while it does get busy on weekends and lunch rush. Joe the manger will check in to see how’s things are going which is rare in HK style restaurants but appreciated in any setting.“

“(Translated by Google) You eat well in peace, it looks clean, they serve super fast... only that they neglect a bit the issue of service, being attentive to the tables and there is always new staff. The food was excellent and more than enough. They are dishes that two people can easily eat at a good price.(Original)Se come rico tranquilio, se observa limpio, sirven super rápido.. solo que descuidan un poco el tema del servicio el estar atentos a las mesas y siempre hay personal nuevo. La comida excelente y más q suficiente. Son platillos que fácil comen dos personas.. a buen costo.

Vegetarian options: Hay variedad.. creo q es opción de cada persona y si pides que te recomienden un plato sin carnes rojas.. o ninguna. No tienen problema en complacer hablan español

Kid-friendliness: Si. Un lugar limpio y tranquilo.

Parking: Es pequeño pero suficiente aún, poca demanda.

Wheelchair accessibility: Si.“

“This place is great! The food reminisces of not only Chinese food but close with the Korean food I grew up with. The interior is beautiful and there is alot of space for large gatherings.I totally recommend the black bean noodles, it's not as expensive as other dishes but simplicity is absolutely amazing, and to To-go it for home is a splendid idea.I also recommend the walnut shrimp-there is alot in the dish and you just cannot stop eating it.“

“We came late. Hour before closing so yes we had to rush to get what we wanted even tho it was our first time. And oh my gosh !!! Everything was toooo delicious 🤤 everything. And I need to go back and try more“

“It’s so delicious. It’s good quality and reasonably priced. I’ll repurchase the pork belly chicken endlessly. Thank you, boss. I hope the restaurant can keep going. There are so few restaurants in Los Angeles that I can keep coming back to. Most of them are blocked after I go there once. I have been eating here for more than three years and the taste remains the same.“

“Although there are so many authentic Chinese restaurants in the Rowland Heights area, This place is on the TOP. Beware of the huge portions though, don’t order too many entrees because you can’t finish them all! My favourites are clam soup and hot Chili pork, and the price is pretty reasonable too. I also like the fact they use portable wireless device for ordering and CC.“

“(Translated by Google) The old shop is newly opened, and the boss is very nice. Her roast duck is very delicious. The taste is really delicious, and the price is very affordable. I will continue to patronize in the future.(Original)老店新开，老板非常nice 她家的烤鸭特别特别好吃，好味道真是每道菜都好味道，而且价格也非常亲民，以后会一直光顾的。“

“I just just opened a bag of the ground pork original flavor and consumed the whole 12oz bag in two days! A tad sweet & sticky for me, texture was Great though! Ordered three more 12oz bags to try the other flavors?“

“TL;DR Would recommend this place if you are looking for a Chinese restaurant with delicious options and your party has people with various dietary choices. This place is AWESOME. Due note that I'm writing from a position that whenever I go out to eat, I have to keep in mind the vegetarian, vegan, and meat options. They said they can provide MORE vegetarian/vegan options if you call ahead and let them know. I haven't done this and each time I went in, they've been able to make at least 4-5 vegan dishes. So good, I always have to take leftovers home. They might not promote themselves as a vegan/vegetarian restaurant but the head chef used to work for a vegetarian restaurant for almost a decade so he has tons of experience.“

“So this place replaced the location for breadfish, and I heard of the name before. They have very similar menu items but a lot more variety. I got a chance to try their crispy chicken over rice. The chicken was really good wish it was just a little bit more crispy but since I had it ToGo it might be a factor of moisture. The tofu and the egg is really good here with marinated in Taiwanese spices. Overall the food is exactly what I expected and it more than enough for one person. Would definitely recommend trying!“

“(Translated by Google) I have been in Los Angeles for six years, and I have eaten all the duck and lo mei restaurants. This one makes me feel like eating. Everything is delicious and the price is fair.(Original)来洛杉矶六年 吃遍了所有鸭货卤味店 这家让我吃到了情怀 每个都很好吃 价格还公道“

“we got our rolls within about 5 minutes of ordering and they were great. even cold the roasted duck wrap smacked and are fairly filling. found out about this place through a friend of mine and now recommending it to everyone.

Vegetarian options: there's a veggie wrap“

“If you’re looking for a truly unique dining experience, East Town Yard Fried Chicken is a must-visit. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a nostalgic 70s-era China with the restaurant's quirky decor. The red brick walls and enamel plates evoke a sense of vintage charm, while the slogan wall adds a playful touch, making it a perfect blend of culture and creativity.

Now, let's talk about the food—this place is a game-changer. The northern-style stir-fried chicken is unlike anything you've had before. Tender chicken, packed with flavor, is stir-fried to perfection—not deep-fried—allowing the natural taste of the meat to shine through. The spices are perfectly balanced, offering a delightful kick without overwhelming the palate. Every dish here feels authentically Chinese, with rich flavors that are both comforting and exciting.

What truly sets this place apart is the attention to detail in every aspect—from the food to the ambiance. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Whether you're a fan of traditional Chinese cuisine or looking to try something new, East Town Yard Fried Chicken offers a memorable dining experience you won’t soon forget. Highly recommend!“

“Visited 3 times in 2 weeks, the quality is good, special lunch is available, very good. Dinner was all delicious, corn cubes, stir-fried beef river, golden sand shrimp, seafood tofu pot, stir-fried bean sprouts, bitter gourd beef, and stir-fried raw bones.“

“A friend from Nanjing brought it here to eat, and she thought it tasted very authentic! This is the first time for a non-local to eat Nanjing roast duck. It is very fragrant, the skin is crispy and tender, the duck meat is very tender, not dry or dry, and it is delicious when dipped in sweet soy sauce. The skin inside the belly noodles is pig skin, which is eye-catching. The boss lady said that the pork skin is fried and then soaked in water, so it has the texture of fried tiger skin and the swelling feeling after soaking in water. It is delicious, and the duck blood vermicelli soup is also delicious. The lady boss is super nice 🥹“

“I absolutely love getting takeout from Rolling Wok for their delicious and affordable Chinese food! The variety of choices they offer is impressive, making every visit a delightful culinary adventure. Whether it's the perfectly cooked entrees or the mouthwatering flavors, Rolling Wok never disappoints. It has become our go-to spot for satisfying our Chinese food cravings. Highly recommended!“

“Every dish is as authentic as the original, without the salty or spicy taste of MSG. It’s delicious and not expensive. I highly recommend it. Asking the waiter to heat up the soup, he sighed loudly and muttered, ruining the atmosphere of the delicious dish.“

“I stopped in on a Friday afternoon a few weeks ago and had to wait for a fresh batch of beef pies, but it was definitely worth the wait.

I ordered:
• beef pie
• pork pie
• vegetarian pie
• scallion pie

This is a *cash only* place, but thankfully they had Zelle so I could scan their code for payment.

My family enjoyed it and I look forward to coming back to try other menu items!“

“thank you for my extra sweet and sour. hubby is safe 🤣😂🤣😂 best customer service ever!!! lol“
