6 Best Chinese Restaurants near San Marcos

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area the best in San Marcos.. my only disappointment is the wonton soup here on the west coast!! Back on the east coast the wonton noodles are large and very doughy here the are small and soft. Hard large wonton noodles in my soup. Still the best I have found other then Philadelphia and New York Chinese restaurants.“

“Just ate here for lunch today with a family of 5. We wanted a booth but they were just slightly too small so we had to sit at a regular table. Not a problem actually as all of the seats are padded.

We each ordered a lunch menu item, which all come with half-and-half rice and chow mien noodles, plus a small egg drop soup. Lunch items are right around $10 each, and each of us got a heaping plate of food. HIGHLY worth the $10.

We all liked our food. The orange chicken was not too sweet unlike other places (Panda). I got the Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce. Lots of sauce on this one. It ended up leaking out of the container after we got the rest to-go, so be sure to pack your leftovers well. The Beef with Broccoli was great.

We also got the Bunny character buns. They looked cute but I didn't think they had a lot of filling. Not too sweet either.

One thing to note: we noticed that some of the soy sauce bottles have a cracked lid. The one on our table wasn't screwed on tightly so we got soy sauce everywhere and had to exchange with another table. That one also had tape holding the lid together, so be aware.

Also, they only had plastic forks. No metal forks. It's a little tough to eat heavy noodles with plastic forks.

They don't have any beer options that I could see. We all chose water. Total came to $61.66 and we had a lot leftover so you have dinner covered if you eat lunch here.“

“I love this place. It is so affordable you get SO MUCH food it feeds me for 3 days. The chili sauce is so good and Smokey. I love the rice noodles as they take on any flavor of the main dish and are filling and light. I think the food always looks fresh and newly prepared. A few times I’ve stopped in a they only have a few options but I get it, the things that are there are fresh fresh. I add extra salt to everything but that’s just me. Things that are supposed to be spicy are kinda spicyyy. Writing this review I’m hungry and want their food rn 😂“

“I travel to this area for work and after working 14 hours or more, a bowl of pho is exactly what I need. I found this place on my first work trip and now I visit every time. I absolutely love the #10-rare steak and tripe pho. I also get shrimp only spring rolls. Everything is ready quickly, and tastes amazing. The restaurant itself is clean and relaxing. Service is fast and responsive. I'll always come back on my work trips!“

“I love coming here, chuie and Juan are the best. I live in Oceanside but when I'm here in San Marcos I'm always here because of her customer service and friendly service. The Food is fresh! And truly this is the best n only panda I truly recommend coming too. Thank you Chuy !!!“
