35 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!“

“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 !“

“It was our first time here. Wanted to try somewhere different. It’s more affordable than the places back in Garden Grove. When we first got sat, we were very confused on what to do. Tan came over and helped us out a lot. I observed other workers just pacing around but Tan was the only one hustling from table to table to assist. Food was great. Grill size is a bit limited which was my only complaint. But definitely recommend coming here“

“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 is the best lamb I had both in China and in the states. The owner is so nice and kind and treated us so well.

We ordered stew lamb, grilled lamb, Mongolian home made pie. They are so delicious!!! Not to mention the price, the quality with this quantity makes Mongolian Home Made Pie such a great choice!

I highly recommend.“

“​When we pulled up, the parking lot was completely packed, which we took as a great sign for the food! Luckily, we found a spot nearby. Since there were only two of us, we got seated right away, but bigger groups definitely had a bit of a wait.
​The black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon) were incredible, the noodles were so chewy and had the perfect texture. The sweet and sour pork was really good, too. Honestly, I’m just thrilled I don’t have to drive all the way to Koreantown for great Korean-Chinese food anymore! So happy to find a spot close by that completely hits the spot.“

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

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

“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~“

“Yu Ji Stone Mill Chinese Crepes was a complete surprise street food cart in Rowland Heights. This $10 treat can be shared between two people. It’s a Taiwanese breakfast crepe-style omelet using mung bean and three eggs with crunchy layers of fried chips and a sausage taste great 👍🏻 highly recommend you try at least once. It’s best to enjoy within 10 minutes for max taste and texture so we took ours to the food court across the street.“

“Mian is a great spot if you love Chinese noodles. They offer a wide variety of noodle dishes from different regions of China, so you can really taste several styles in one place. It feels unique, modern, and the restaurant stays open late, which is probably why so many young people come here.

If you’re a noodle lover, this is definitely a fun and unique place to try. The prices are affordable, and the overall quality is solid. If you live in the Rowland Heights area, it’s worth stopping by at least once to check it out.“

“KW is genuinely one of my all time favorite restaurants now. I go all the time with my boyfriend and I always am excited to try something new. The portion sizes for the prices are genuinely amazing. KW has fed me for 2 days once! I ate my dinner then I had enough leftovers still for two lunches at work. Their HK Style Lemon Tea and HK Style Milk Tea are genuinely the best I’ve ever tasted. I also highly recommend their Beef Wellington (I think it’s called KW Signature Filet Mignon) and any of their grilled category dishes. Their honey walnut shrimp is also DIVINE. Just know that this place is usually packed!!“

“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.“

“Surprisingly good! My picky friend also complimented this place. The veggies were really fresh and the kidney was processed well. Dishes were seasoned perfectly. Not too heavy like a lot of other restaurants. The experience was like dining at a high-end Taiwanese restaurant in Taiwan. Though the dishes were expensive, the price includes sales tax. I will still come back due to the quality and to support the business!“

“I’ve been here a few times for their stone-ground rice noodle rolls, and they never disappoint. The rice rolls are made fresh to order with a silky, delicate texture and a nice rice aroma. The beef is tender, and the sauce complements everything without being overly salty.

This time I also tried their beef hot pot, and it was a pleasant surprise. The beef was fresh and flavorful, the broth was rich without being too heavy, and the ingredients tasted high quality. It’s a great option if you’re dining with family or friends.

The service was friendly, and although the restaurant can get busy during peak hours, the food is worth the wait. If you’re looking for authentic Cantonese rice noodle rolls or a satisfying beef hot pot in Rowland Heights, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back to try more dishes!“

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

“We had a group of 11 people dining here today, and it was everyone’s first time visiting this restaurant. From the portion sizes to the flavors, every dish received unanimous praise.
A special shoutout to Roger, our server, who was incredibly attentive and fun. He noticed every detail, kept refilling our water glasses, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Even though we stayed and chatted for quite a while, he remained friendly and thoughtful the entire time. It’s rare to experience such excellent service in a Chinese restaurant!
The chef also did a fantastic job—every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared.
We’re so happy to have discovered New Garden as a wonderful new spot for gatherings with friends. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Grabbed a box of their sweet and spicy stuff and just stood there picking at the duck neck and lotus root, kind of addictive in a slow way. Heat creeps up after a few bites, not brutal, just steady. A bit messy on the fingers, tbh, but that’s part of it.“

“(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.“

“We stopped in for dinner the other night. There is ample parking available in the parking lot. The restaurant is located off the beaten path but worth the discovery.

We came in for hot pot. Please note this is not an AYCE place. But the quality here will make you come back.

We got the pork tripe chicken broth. I could drink this all day. We got an assortment of vegetables. We got corn, various mushrooms, bamboo shoots, tofu, greens and water chestnuts. All so good and so fresh.

For proteins we got ribeye, beef tongue, and lamb. Everything was so fatty and flavorful. Such great quality meat.

We also got a few appetizers. The popcorn mushrooms are my new favorite. The mashed garlic cucumbers were crispy and delicious. They also have skewers and we got chicken hearts, which is a personal favorite. And we also got a beef tongue plate. So good and the Chili's brought the heat.

Such friendly service and delicious comfort food will make this a place to come back to again and again.“

“Clean , good service , good food and I like the happy hour they have different free drinks everyday! ! I like Rowland Heights big way good 👍!!“

“First time browsing by this place, saw customers lining up, so decided to give it a try.
This is absolutely authentic Chinese cuisine. Though it's a bit spicy, the flavors really tickle your buds. The dishes came out quickly, very fresh, big portions, and the service was excellent and attentive.
I'll definitely come back again.
No photos of the dishes, just don't have the habit of taking pictures.“

“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!“

“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.“

“(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“

“Been coming here for awhile now. Skip the bougie GUI BBQ upstairs and the Mountain House next door if you want to eat some authentic Chinese Sichuan styled cooking that's not flamed by bullshit Xiao hong shu or tiktok.

Best of all skip the damn lines.

Here's the interesting part:
I have ordered the exact, and I mean exact dish combos for the past 10+ times I've been here. The flavor profile and consistency are the same across the board. I have not been disappointed once!

No need to mention just how difficult that is to achieve across the board within the restaurant industry. That's a feat in itself!

The lamb skewers are grilled over charcoal in the back kitchen just like at GUI upstairs. You just don't see it but you can def taste it. This is still better than the GUI Irvine location which doesn't have any charcoals taste.

Order exactly these:
Go for the basil clams, spicy black bean paste intestines, and the spicy crawfish. Add any veggie dish and you're set.

Thank me later.“

“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?“

“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.“

“Food was quite good. I enjoyed the lemon tea with passion fruit. We had lunch and ordered the beef noodle, the truffle chicken and stir fry spare ribs. Truffle chicken didnt taste good. The chicken is tender but there is no flavor at all. But the other dishes were good.“

“The service was very kind. I originally just wanted to buy a simple dinner to take home to share with my family, but the service staff warmly recommended and ordered a few more items, and the bill almost exceeded 100!



Parking: You can add as many parking spaces as possible! This allows guests who come to dine or take out to easily find a parking space, saving time!“

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

“Tucked inside a mall complex, this cozy spot specializes in Nanjing-style duck dishes, from noodle soups to traditional cold plates. We ordered the duck innards noodle soup, duck blood vermicelli, and salted duck—all deeply flavorful and true to their roots. The duck liver and gizzard added richness, though the intensity began to weigh a bit heavy toward the end.

Service was prompt and accommodating—the server even brought out a salty dipping sauce for the duck upon request. The only quibble was with the pricing: while costs everywhere have crept up, a simple soy sauce noodle soup at $13 felt a touch steep. Still, the cooking holds its ground with authenticity and care, making this a worthy stop for anyone craving the tastes of Nanjing.“
