18 Best Chinese Restaurants near San Clemente

“I had a random craving for curry and had recalled seeing Thai Dara 2 when I was in the area a while back. I gave it a shot and I was so pleased. I ordered the panang curry with unspecified spicyness and it was perfection. Great temperature, calming music and gracious hospitality from the host. I think I’ll be craving curry more often :) or I’ll try one of the noodle dishes next time! Thank you for the lovely meal! I felt nourished and cared for.“

“What happened? This was our go to place for Chinese food!
Our still large steamed dumplings were stuffed into a small container all stuck to each other and the pork was tasteless.
The Mongolian beef was usually served in large tray but now was half the size. Still tasty.
I suggest going back to the way things were or the customer base will disappear quickly.“

“Fast service, fresh ingredients, larger portion sizes than expected. Thought everything was overpriced when looking at the menu, but the portion sizes are considerate and they don’t skimp on meats. The $4.35 extra for chow mein seemed a little egregious but you get almost a meal’s worth of it. Delicious all around! will definitely be back“

“Well I'm a little worried on account of the soybean oil, which is used to cook their fare. It's by. Wing stop and Jersey Mike's. As a former Pap John worker, I can say they make great white rice. Very Good Service. Very Good Fortune: A surprise gift , will leave a lasting impression.“

“Great food and service. Eat there 1 time a week“

“We have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant for the past two years. After looking at Yelp, we decided to give them a try. Wow we found a great restaurant with fresh good tasting food. The atmosphere is a little different with the bar area being in the center. But with the awesome service and fantastic food who cares. You have to try it as soon as you can.“

“The service is 5 stars for sure. Ed and Logan provide extraordinary service with a great attitude. It's rare to get great service from start to finish in todays landscape. This place is lucky to have these guys. The food is good, but Ed & Logan just made it better.“

“The best service ever. Delicious food. 💯 recommend“

“I love this place! Service is friendly, food is plentiful in a clean pleasant environment. The wonton soup is perfection and my go to order. Veggies in the soup are crisp/tender and not mushy. Pot stickers are a must order. Prices are very reasonable.“

“Wow first 5 star reviews in a long time! Our server was wonderful; food delicious and with the lunch values affordable! Ribs appetizer was a standout, always is. It was my birthday and was I surprised with a "live" sparkly candle and banana wonton type dessert with ice cream and fresh fruit. My 2 daughters shared. Just a perfect time all the way around!!! The management is very pr oriented.“

“I really enjoy the food here and often get takeout, but the prices have become much higher. Just six months ago, I ordered the same dishes for $6 less. It's now June 2024, and I'm quite disappointed about the price hike. This will probably be my last visit since I can find similar dishes elsewhere for a better price. It's a shame, but I have to consider my budget.“

“THE BEST CHINESE FOOD WE’VE EVER HAD. Delivered piping hot, even though it was close to closing. Uber Eats doesn’t tell you that, so we didn't know :( Ordered the orange peel chicken, sizzling beef Cantonese, cream cheese wontons, BBQ pork lo mein, and mu shu pork. WOW! so hot and fresh and delicious. Portions are massive! I don’t usually order Chinese food but DANG this place has made me a fan. My husband, on the other hand: Chinese food is his favorite, so for him to say this was amazing, you know it was!“

“I have been dining at Peking Dragon for over 40 years and I can say without a doubt that the food quality has always been consistently very good every time! Love the lunch specials and the Sizzling Rice Soup! If you wish a change in the dish they have always tried to please. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Great service and the best food. One of our favorite places to go for many years.“

“Food we chose was from the vegetarian menu. We ordered the family meal for 3 people. They even made a substitute for egg roles. Very nice employees at the Dana Point restaurant. Will be going back again.

Vegetarian options: Check out the menu.“

“I've only tried a couple of dishes, but they were really good. There aren't many Asian restaurants in south OC with flavor like they have here. I got the pork soup dumplings and chicken fried noodles. The flavor on the soup dumplings was really good. The noodles were really good also. You could definitely taste the garlic and the hot wok flavor.

The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, it looks very modern. The staff were all friendly also. It's cool to be able to see into the kitchen. I look forward to coming back and trying some more of their dishes.“

“Our family had a wonderful meal delivered.
You know the saying, "Goodness comes from the Heart."
If you're feeling down, eat kaleyards delicious food.
It will lift your spirits and satiate you your taste buds.“
