50 Best Chinese Restaurants near San Ramon

“Very tasty food, and super friendly stuff!!“

“3 sea food combo with rice and soup.
Food is good and nice small businesses. they are open 3-5 and not close during that time like other food places. Service was very good and nice atmosphere. Server was nice to give me a soup on the house.
Will come back.“

“Had occasion to have lunch here recently. Good news, they offer luncheon-specials even on weekends. Food itself is good. I had the mongolian chicken luncheon/$l3.00. The pork fried rice had very few pieces of pork in it but it was tasty. The chicken was hot/taste but the sauce was a bit sweet [a little different than I'm used to for any mongolian creation]. Portions were large, I didn't finish. My only real negative was, the whole dish was luke warm, not hot/temperature. As I was the only [early] diner in the place, I suspect the food was pre-cooked/made and just warmed to serve or wasn't wok'd long enough. The appetizer/fried wonton/2 pcs, was also warm, as was the sweet sauce over it. The food would have tasted SO much 'better' if it was cooked just a bit more [I even some raw onions in the chicken]. I'll return, just to see if the food is normally served hot.......“

“My new favorite spot! Everything we ordered was excellent and super fresh, fast and friendly service too!“

“We had a great family dining experience at King Palace Chinese Cuisine. The food was delicious and authentic, with the steamed chicken being a standout dish. The service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, although please do need some designer touch.
The prices were pretty affordable and the quality of the food made it worth it.
I would definitely recommend King Palace for a satisfying Chinese meal.“

“Ordered to go from here for the first time a week ago. Got some of the staples, and the food was definitely better than average as far as to go goes. The restaurant was very authentic and the staff were friendly, great ambiance and I regretted not just going there to dine.“

“Been going here for years. This is a staple in San Ramon and I have great memories of this friendly and delicious restaurant!“

“‘Ono grinds at a great price 🍹“

“The family deal offers so much value, and the food is on par, if not better than, the local Chinese restaurant nearby. The taste, portions and value is fantastic. $40 for two large sides and three large entrees. Easily feeds 5-6 people. The box they put the meals in is such a nice touch. It holds all the food stabally so the sauces do not tip out of the box. Management is fantastic here.“

“Lots of malatang in the area this is one of the chains

Solid choice has great options and good flavor

DIY sauce is in the corner and seating is quite limited here

Parking is ample

Service is easy and helpful. Pay at the end

We got the nonspicy soup and it was very flavorful and great fishballs“

“Excellent! Tonight was one of the best meals we’ve had here and are so happy to be able to continue to support the restaurant. So thank you for some of the most fresh best tasting Chinese food in Walnut Creek!“

“Showed up on a Sunday around lunchtime with the intent to dine in, but unfortunately (for us), the place was completely packed! We wanted a seat for five, but the place was clearly designed for tables of two and four: so probably would’ve needed to wait a while before we were seated.

We ended up ordering quite a few things: beef noodle soup, pork with dry noodle, lamb noodle soup, pig ears, Liang pi, and the rou jia mou. The food probably took about 30 minutes to cook (which felt quite long but likely was due to the dine-in situation being full). We took it home to eat (15 minute drive) and I’d say that the texture of the food (noodles, bread) were the highlights here - whereas the broth, flavors were just alright. The pig ears were also very good, but almost a little sweet with a good amount of chili oil. I will say, I appreciate the packaging here: always a plus when the noodles are separated from the broth and it doesn’t get soggy from the drive.

Overall, the food was good enough for a fix, but not something I’d go out of my way to get.“

“I was visitng from kansascity. Loved Large mithai options and paratha keema.“

“Overall Good & Reasonable Price“

“My son recommended this place, and I’m sorry I waited so long! We ordered so much food they had to move us from a 2-top to a 4-top just to accommodate! We took a lot of leftovers, but there’s not one dish I would have removed from our order. Everything was felt, you could taste the various flavors of dumplings, the noodles were amazing and not “too saucy”, you could really taste the noodle. I HIGHLY recommend- and, the prices are incredible.“

“Delicious! Absolutely delicious. My friends and I had the beef skewers, popcorn chicken, pork rolls, and fried buns. They were absolutely amazing and really delicious. The beef skewers and the popcorn chicken were seasoned really well. Though there is a bit of a language barrier with the staff all you need to do is order using the QR code on the tables. I hadn't practiced my mandarin in the longest and I got a chance to practice a bit and enjoy a great meal.“

“I absolutely love this place! The food is authentic and flavor is on point! The workers are friendly. I highly recommend this Chinese Restaurant!“

“Delicious sweet and sour tofu, S&S chicken, General Tso’s chicken, and beef with broccoli.“

“88 Bao Bao in Pleasanton is a standout for authentic eats—one of the best I’ve come across in my travels. The food is fresh, hot, and fairly priced, with a menu worth exploring. Friendly, attentive service adds to the experience. If you’re hungry, come ready to try it all. Wish this place existed nationwide!“

“Good food , great staff“

“Wow! Ok, it was a little expensive, but TOTALLY WORTH it. Dim sum all day! Their Dim Sum menu was so nice that I didn't want to write on it 😁 Food was amazing! Nice BIG pieces. Delicious. Perfect. Service was attentive. Private restrooms, not stalls - and very clean. They were using just one hall at lunch but they looks like they have seating for very large parties. Check out the pictures I took.“

“服務親切，充滿濃濃的台灣味，而且食物好好吃！推！“

“My wife and I have been dining at Gold Chopsticks for years and we love it. They have an extensive menu and I love trying all the amazing dishes. You could easily get hooked on their Pot Stickers with their homemade sauce, Wor Won Ton Soup, Sweet & Sour Prawns, Combination Fried Rice, Broccoli Beef, etc. And I really don't know how anybody can beat their Black Pepper Beef Sizzling Platter, it is awesome on so many levels!!!“

“Quick & delicious— Came here two days in a row for lunch!

This restaurant has been here since 1988 & is the definition of a hidden gem. They are tucked away in the hills of Hayward, but also close to Cal State East Bay.

I am a sucker for quick lunches. At China Best Restaurant, not only is it affordable, you get massive portions. Each meal is cooked to order so you’re getting steaming hot & homemade food. You should expect a ~15-20 minute wait for your food, but I promise it’s worth it!

Their menu is quite large, but very easy to read & makes sure that everyone has something to eat. I was excited to try their beef with bitter melon combo (comes with chow mein & steamed rice)! I chose the black bean sauce. The second day, I ordered the same combo, but asked them to sub the beef with chicken. They happily accommodated my request & quickly took my order over the phone.

I was not prepared for the amount of food that was piled into that takeout container— and for only $15 too! Each combo could easily be 2-2.5 meals.

Both days, the beef and the chicken were succulent but still had the right amount of chew. The bitter melon was cooked exactly how I like it, still had a nice crunch! The noodles were seasoned lightly, which was a nice change of flavor for typical Chinese restaurants where everything is overly salty!

They have plenty of seating if you’re looking to dine in rather than order takeout. The restaurant presents itself as a fairly standard place to eat because the food speaks for itself. No need for fancy decorations. I will say, the restaurant is very clean which I appreciate. Next time I’m around, I’ll dine in so I can try out a bowl of soup.

Make sure you ask for some chili oil, I’m not sure if it’s house made but it’s a nice Szechuan style chili oil and it goes so well with the chow mein!“

“I went here all the time when I was a kid in the early to mid 2000s

Every time we walked in the owner would greet us & ask us if we wanted Pot Stickers. He always remembered us

Now in my late 20s, me & a few childhood friends decided to drop by while we were back in the area for a bit

The food is sooooo good, just like it was all those years ago. The employees are super nice & made sure to keep checking on us. Our drinks always stayed full as well.“

“My go-to for Chinese food in Dublin!“

“Really good food great service great prices“

“first time there it's was nice tasty pot got my vote too come back again“

“We really enjoyed the variety of the food on the menu! The ambiance was very nice and clean, not too noisy!
We had the Pork Xiao Long Bao (so good as everyone says) Sweet and Sour Cucumber, Pan Fried Chive Dumplings, Onion Pancake, Pan Fried Vegetable Pot Stickers and the Romaine Lettuce Salad with Sesame dressing.
All dishes were delicious and the prices were very reasonable!“

“I and my husband took our sons, grandson, sister and brother-in-law to dinner, waiters were pleasant and helpful and the food just so delicious. A member in our group is a retired chef and said it was the best Chinese dinner he had had for a long time. Just clean Chinese cooking done the way it should be, We all agreed. Thank you for making the end of 2023 a delightful experience.“

“Wonderful restaurant. Tried the lunch special on our way to Santa Cruz.

As soon as they served the soup I could tell this place was a cut above. I'm not a fan of hot and sour soup, but this was the best I've ever had. The chicken with broccoli and cashews should be considered a must order. The egg roll was perfect.
Lovely tranquil ambience on the outdoor patio with the giant trees lining the back.“

“I travel a lot for work and love Chinese restaurants. This one one is superb.
Pros
Great location
Great atmosphere
Very authentic
Delicious kung pao chicken(definitely recommend)
Great sweet and sour soup and salad!
Great price for the lunch special.
Very clean and great interior.

I wish most mom and pop places followed this interior design, it’s beautiful

Cons
Can’t think of any!!!!!

Will come here again when in the area! I recommend you try it.“

“Backstory. My partner and I have been regular visitors or semi-regular visitors to the IHOP next door for over 20 years.
They must have been a lot of takeout because every time we went to IHOP there was hardly anybody in the Great River parking lot.
Well we decided this weekend to actually go and check it out and funny enough, quite a few cars in the parking lot.
We kept it simple because we really didn't feel like eating much. So we just got chicken and vegetables, and chop suey because it is pretty much all veggie, and a couple of bowls of rice.
Everything was nicely cooked, the chicken was tender. Very nice lady waiting on us Yes we will return because we always like to find a nice Chinese restaurant where we can just relax and chill out for a while. We used to have one of those in Fremont but it closed. Sad to say so. We've been on the hunt for a while. A good find.“

“We Dine In and order Take Out from this restaurant and have for many years. Our favorites are Egg Rolls, Won Ton Soup, Sweet and Sour Pork, Broccoli Beef, Cashew Nut Chicken, Mu Shu Chicken, And Combination Chow Mein. The portions are large; we usually take some food home. Service is excellent. The restaurant is very clean and bright.

Parking: Park in front of restaurant and in free parking lot.“

“I’ll keep coming back for those chicken katsu 💯“

“Delicious Mongolian Beef. Seems to be very authentic as the place was packed at lunch, mostly Asian folks enjoying lots of everything.... Service was superb! Amy was very friendly, professional and timely. I'll be back when in Pleasanton.“

“3.5 stars

We came here before 11am shortly after opening on a Sunday and there was no wait. We decided to try their entrees and skipped the dimsum.

The salted fish chicken eggplant claypot took a long time to come, it came at the end and the eggplants were burnt on the bottom and the skin was tough to chew. It was also submerged in a lot of oil but tastewise it was okay.

The satay beef chow fun was good, it was actually runny and not too salty. The pineapple was a nice touch, we just weren't a big fan of the red bellpeppers.

Japanese style beef cubes with fried silken tofu was really good, the sauce is slightly sweet and savory and not too salty. We really liked this one.

All 3 dishes were in the low $20s, and more than enough for 3 people. We had leftovers to go.

There is free dessert! Choice is mango pudding or grass jelly.“

“Great Wall Restaurant serves fresh, flavorful Chinese food with generous portions. The sweet and sour chicken was crispy and tangy, while the broccoli beef was tender and savory. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made for a great dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“They’re reliable! Been going here for about 8 years now. It seems to be ran by a Chinese couple there, very kind folk. Always a smile on their face when I see them. It’s a super no-frills hole-in-the-wall call—ahead type dealio. Our regular items are:

1. Beef chow mein
2. Beef or house chow fun
3. Fried Rice
4. Beef and Brocolli
5. Sweet and sour pork
6. Fried pork wontons
7. Shrimp egg foo young - recent pick-up

& some refrigerated Dr. Pepper cans! Call ahead about 15-20 minutes and they’re always pretty good about getting done by then. Sometimes I wait a little extra but it’s because they’re a bit busy for dinner time.“

“Just had a nice time with friends and family at this P.F. Chang's. One person even brought his small dog and was ok. We shared the ribs, green beans, rice and Korean chicken as well as the chicken lettuce wraps. It was a little hot yo be outside but we were fine. Service was good“

“Great food, Good serving size“

“Food is so good..Honey walnut prawns..“

“As a family we’ve ordered superior Chinese food from Nanking even before it was NanKing when it was Uncle Wu’s. Never disappointed until tonight. All food we received was cold even the rice. Little flavor as well. Very cold making the special evening not enjoyable and we live one mile from them.“

“Solid dim sum up in walnut creek area

Lots of asians here so must be a good sign haha

It has solid cheung fun and har gao which are the staples

Service was not bad for dim sum

Parking may be hard but down the lot frees up a bit“

“Their recent all you can eat with price of $29.99 is unbeatable deal! As a born and raised in Sichuan Chinese, I enjoyed their very authentic spicy pot very very much! There are many other flavors to choose from and so many varieties of sauces to add to your taste bud! Service is excellent! Food is fresh. I plan to go there at least once a month to satisfy my gravy craving for very authentic Chinese hot pot. On top of that, they also have authentic Sichuan dishes to enjoy!“

“This is the best Chinese takeout place in the East Bay. Hands down. The food is always fresh since there are so many people who come here. Whenever something is running low, the cooks already have the next batch ready. I personally like the barbecue chicken or pork, as well as the ribs in black bean sauce. You can't go wrong with the salt & pepper fried fish as well. The best part is that it's very affordable!“

“Whenever we miss hometown and crave for authentic rice noodles, this is the place to go. Love the small pot rice noodle. It even beat some of the local restaurant in Dali, Yunnan. Kids love the crossing bridge rice noodle and they usually finishes all the soup.“

“I LOVE this restaurant. The food just gets better and better. Every time we add something new to our order, we fall in love with more dishes. I love Chinese food and am super picky. So to have been able to find this gem has made me and myFamily super happy! Sunday movie nights are filled with yummyChinese food and a good show/movie!“

“I’ll keep coming back for those chicken katsu 💯“

“Went her last night with my family. Second time I had it. First time I had it delivered to my house this time we ate there. It was DELICIOUS 🤤 both times. So happy I live walking distance to my new favorite Chinese restaurant ❗️“
