50 Best Chinese Restaurants near San Ramon

“Tried their spicy hot pot (Mao Cai) today and it was amazing! Generous portions, super fresh ingredients, and the broth was flavorful without being too greasy. You can adjust the spice level to your taste, which I really liked. The staff were friendly and even offered me a free drink — nice touch! Definitely a go-to spot if you’re craving something authentic and satisfying.“

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

“My #1 favorit neighbor restaurant. Good food, good service and reasonable price
Perfect place for family and friends together without cooking stresses. The chefs are amazing and flexible. We 6 friends did our own special orders. The turnout was so delicious!!!
Highly recommend.“

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

“Everything on the menu is great. Friendly staff, they feel like family when you're there. Been here dozen times and consistently amazed. I didn't like Hot and Sour soup before I tried it here. I always make sure to get it when I'm here, as I try it at other places and nothing compares. Other favorites are honey walnut shrimp, chow main (combo but really any choice is good choice), and beef with black pepper sauce. My Grandpa would always get sweet sour fish fillet, which was tasty but not my first choice. Try this place next time you head out in search of a great Chinese Restaurant. I wish I could make it out there more often, so if you're nearby, you're in luck!“

“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 Kung Pao chicken was different, I did not like the chicken in it today. But I luckily got 2 items. The new sweet and sour dynamite chicken was excellent!! It was really spicy like I like. The girls at the front counter were not welcoming at all, they came off a bit rude. But I will be back for more Dynamite chicken. 😀“

“Best malatang in the Tri-Valley area.
The broth here is honestly the best I’ve ever had — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The Classic Mild is my absolute favorite.
The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming — every time I’m greeted, it genuinely feels like seeing an old friend.
This place has become my weekly go-to restaurant. Highly recommend if you love malatang.“

“Overall Good & Reasonable Price“

“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!“

“Warm, inviting hole in the wall kinda place. Their food always hits the spot. We’ve been here many times and never had a bad experience.

Personally I keep coming back for their broth based dishes. They’re so flavorful. Perfect for when you’re feeling under the weather or just want something light.

The guy at the counter is really nice but can have a bit of a problem communicating. Luckily they have a QR code menu that works well. Just don’t request modifications verbally without a translator.“

“If you're like me, and you are obsessed with Xiao Long Bao, you will LOVE this spot.

It can be tough to get solid Dim Sum in the East Bay, so this is a much needed spot in Walnut Creek.

Their Xiao Long Bao are perfection, especially the hot and spicy pork ones.

Their Siu Mai is solid too - highly recommend the shrimp and pork.

Their sautéed string beans with garlic salt are top notch, too. Perfectly seasoned.

This is a great lunch spot, with quick service. Will be back again soon!“

“I'm here on vacation every winter. Lulu's is one of our favorite stops and we patronize it on a consistent basis. Unfortunately (for me) last night I deviated from my norm and ordered the London broil. It was over cooked (I requested medium) and I struggled through it. My appetizer was fine and my friends were delighted with their selections. Sometimes things simply don't meet expectations- I'm good and will plan to continue patronizing Lulu's“

“I've always appreciated a restaurant that has the vibe of hard working people who puts quality and service first. This joint has that. It also has authentically tasty meat skewers that I've been trying to hunt down since I left China 30 years ago.

Pricing is reasonable for the quality and quantity you get.“

“Great food. Found this while on a work trip. Pork buns are amazing custard buns has to be one of the most amazing desserts I’ve ever eaten. WOW!!“

“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.“

“While the food was really good, the service was even better. The team was super attentive and quickly moved us outside to a chill, pretty patio when we asked.
Our server remembered our drinks, suggested a killer shareable, and everything arrived hot and perfectly timed. The outdoor vibe was relaxed with zero rush.
Ideal for date nights or casual catch-ups. We’ll be back!“

“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!!!“

“Stunning experience. It is elevated modern restaurant with Chinese cuisine offers short, creative menu of craft and delicious dishes. We’ve got chili wontons as appetizer, black bean chicken and mapo tofu as entrees. Everything were delicious, full of flavors, beautifully presented. Don’t forget their take on craft cocktails! Outstanding and friendly service was on point - checked us at very right moments. Will definitely visit again. Good for both family and romantic dinners!“

“Simply the best Chinese food in town! Jessica has been there for years, and it is a family! Her smile and friendliness meets you at the door EVERY TIME.

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

“WOW! Hunan Chef restaurant is remarkable!
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience I had at this restaurant recently. We were incredibly impressed by the delicious food and the exceptional cleanliness of the establishment. The customer service was very attentive, and I found the prices to be more than fair. The convenient location in the plaza across from Safeway and the ample parking are also great advantages.

It's clear that the restaurant is operating at a very high standard, and it truly shows. YUM I highly recommend this restaurant 10+ stars!“

“This place is hands down one of the best Chinese food I’ve had in CA. Taste and flavor is there and food is very fresh. I don’t understand why there’s bad reviews because it doesn’t reflect what I’ve had here. There’s just one guy serving tables here, so service can take a bit when they’re busy. But it’s worth it. Don’t miss out because you see a few bad reviews. In the Bay Area over all, most Chinese food tastes so watered down and lacks flavor. This place is great.“

“I dont like to give small businesses a hard time, the food was amazing the only issue i have is the consistency of their hot and hour soup, ITS EXTREMELY THICK, I've been to house of dumplings and hong Kong city restaurant in the area, this is thr first time encountering soup being served like this. I hope I can either get a refund on the item or an exchange. None the less everything else was great, just wish I didn't pay 11 bucks for this item“

“Awesome food.
PF Chang’s Chicken (General Tso’s) was tasty.
Honey chicken and honey shrimp was too.
Dynamite shrimp was also very good.
Kung pao chicken was too.
Would recommend this place anytime soon.“

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

“Very good food we got 3 plates. The place gets busy from my first time going there but the problem is when you go pay for the food i wish it was a bit faster it could also be a bit more clean or with more drink options other than that i’d recommend“

“We're here for a red egg and ginger party to welcome a new born.
We started with shrimp dumplings, pork and shrimp siu mai, fried sea bass with pepers and salt, assorted veggies , eggplant with soft tofu, roast pork, fried taro dumplings, shrimp and chive dumplings. I'm sure I left out a few things, but the food and service were good.“

“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.“

“Good food , great staff“

“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.

“Treat yourself to a fantastic Chinese meal. The food is top-notch, with delicious handmade dim sum and excellent entrées. The owners are meticulous about quality, and I feel fortunate to have this restaurant nearby. As someone who considers herself a good judge of Asian food, this is truly my favorite.“

“Alamo Palace has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for over 30 years. The food has always been consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the staff makes you feel like family every time you walk in.

What I love most is that it’s a small family-run business that truly cares about their customers and the local community. In a world full of chain restaurants, places like this are special and deserve support. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and that’s probably why they’ve had loyal customers like me for decades.

If you’re looking for authentic, consistently great Chinese food with friendly service and a hometown feel, this is the spot. Highly recommend supporting this local gem!“

“This is an amazing find in Castro Valley! We went there because we needed a place to have lunch. We were surprised with not only an amazing selection, but extremely welcoming, owner and servers, and the food! The food was incredible. They do not cater to American taste. This is the real thing. The vegetables with tofu sauce were incredible as was the pork and everything else we had the dessert of tofu with mantis or ginger is a must. Highly recommend!!“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“I love Tin’s Tea Pot! You get this quality food for this price point. I’ve been here a few times and was heartened to see it busier than usual. They totally deserve it!

We ordered their vegetable dumplings, a veggie lo mein dish and their rice soup which when combined with the plant was AMAZING!“

“Stopped in today for lunch. It had been a year or so since my last dine in visit. Had a wonderful experience. I had the curry chicken lunch special and was exactly what I wanted. My veggies were cooked perfectly and and my entree was so flavorful and a generous portion.“

“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.“
