Chinese Restaurants near San Ysidro

“It's probably the time of the year but it was really busy when I was there that was maybe a line of at least 10 people waiting to be handled by the people doing all the work but they managed to resolve everybody's order and I was really happy. The restaurant is conveniently located inside the plaza and there's plenty of parking room so you won't worry about that. Since they're always selling food that means that you're going to get a freshly prepared dish like I did with the chow mein and the chicken. Despite the large amount of people that place was cleaned by the people that were working. The pricings are fair for the location, food quality, and the proportions.“

“The best Chinese food I've ever had. For real. We ordered the family dinner # 2, it was $22 per person - there was only 2 of us. (I was hungry so no judgment lol). it came with wonton soup, cream cheese wontons, egg rolls, bbq pork for an appetizer. Orange chicken, beef and brocolli and rice (fried or steamed). We also added house noodles since we came with our toddler and also I was hungry. The family meal itself although it was meant for 2, would have fed 4. We took home enough leftovers to have another full meal and lunch for me :)The orange chicken was by far, best I've had. It was so crispy, I hate when places drench it in sauce and it's soggy... or worse they bread it so much there's a tiny chicken nugget in there. The flavor was also perfect, not too sweet or tangy. The brocolli and veggies in the beef and brocolli and noodles were so fresh and I like my brocolli still a little crunchy, which it was. My son is 2 and half, he LOVED the noodles and the wontons in the soup.The service was FAST, I mean we got our food super quick and they were really nice and kept checking in.Do not miss this this spot! It doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is better than anywhere I've had in a long time!“

“I've been a loyal customer of Mandarin Beijing for quite some time now, and I have to say, they never disappoint! The food quality is consistently excellent, which keeps me coming back time and time again. The customer service is top-notch as well. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food. The salt pepper wings are an absolute must-try! They're crispy, flavorful, and addictively delicious. It's my go-to appetizer every time I visit. Recently, I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and try the mabo tofu, and I'm so glad I did! It was out of this world--spicy, savory, and packed with flavor. I've decided that it's going to be a regular order for me from now on. And if that's not enough, my wife absolutely loves the eggplant dish here. It's cooked to perfection and always leaves her satisfied.“

“Fantastic fast service with comfortable seating for our group of 10. The food was delicious and fresh. We enjoyed walnut shrimp, wings, house noodles, fried rice, teriyaki chicken, cream cheese wontons, and boba teas—all were delightful. The only feedback regarding the food is that the portions are slightly smaller than what I'm accustomed to from a local restaurant I frequent. Initially concerned about having enough due to the portion sizes, we ordered several entrees, which turned out to be just right.“

“I visit Rising Dragon Restaurant many times. The dishes, especially the Orange Chicken and Beef Broccoli are delicious. What makes this place great is its affordability, making sure you get great value for your money. It’s the perfect takeout location for anyone. if you’re planning to shop at Ralphs or just exploring the area, I would recommend Rising Dragon Restaurant.“

“Panda Chef has Excellent Food, their Salt n Pepper wings are so good that l have been eating them for 20 years! When I was too ill to cook, I would just call and they would deliver to my home, delicious hot tasty food. They were delivering way before Door Dash or Uber even EXISTED! I would Recommend them to anyone who is looking for GREAT TASTING FOOD, with Generous Portions! The restaurant is always clean. I sometimes go there for lunch to try some of the other options, which are numerous. The staff is always friendly and will deliver Free of charge, l believe with a $15 purchase.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. I'm fact I would say it's my favorite place to eat in this entire town bar none. The entire staff is courteous and well managed. As you enter it's clear their goal is to get you seated as quickly as possible even if there is a waiting list. The bar will be more than happy serve you as well and the staff there is equally courteous and attentive. The food is always fresh and in my opinion very reasonably priced. I've eaten here about a dozen times and have always left happy. Highly recommended ++“

“Just an all around good Chinese Restaurant. Food portions were large and quite tasty. On the dishes that are spicy you can ask them to turn down the spiciness or shut it out completely, they were happy to do so. Friendly staff make the place a hidden gemVegetarian options: You can ask for no meat in your dish, no eggs in your fried rice and let's face it the meal is mostly vegetables anywaysParking: It's in a strip mall so you get what you find. Its never been an issue and there is handicap parking as well.“

“I love the service I spend 125.00 but let me tell you it is truly worth every cent. I remember when it use to be a buffet and I loved it then now it’s is still the same excellent service, food, and service.Parking: I have never had problems with my parking there.“

“My family has been going to Golden Chopsticks for at least over 20 years. Crazy thing is our ordering habits has stayed pretty much the same the whole time. We usually always get Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings, Honey Walnut Shrimp, House Special Noodles (beef, chicken, squid, shrimp), Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, Mongolian Beef and White Rice. Over the 20 years the food quality has always stayed the same and looking forward to coming here for another 20 years.“

“This Resturant has been here in Chula Visita for a long while. It's has adequate parking and a nice size dining room. With large booths and enough table for large groups. The food here has been good dining in or take-out. We have always enjoyed both visits here even our friends too. We had chow mein vegetable it comes real mushrooms which I enjoy and baby corn, cabbage, some broccoli. And more good noddles the flavor is so on point. We enjoyed it all here ribs, egg foo young! It so much and large meals here family style Come and try it here you won't be disappointed There so friendly and quick here too.“

“This place is a hidden gem for Chinese food! The food is always fast and freshly made. Everything is super flavorful, and very consistent. Whenever I'm craving Chinese food this is THE place I go to. They have a expansive menu, and prices are good for the portions you get! The inside is always clean and well kept. The service here is excellent, as everyone is really nice and attentive! My go tos are the Salt and Pepper Tofu, Veggie Lo Mein, and spicy eggplant! this time I tried out the Orange Chicken which was delicious! Next time you want authentic Chinese food, make sure you give them a try!“

“i like the food here. the salt and pepper chicken kinda reminds me of a mix between golden chopsticks (texture) and royal mandarin (taste). i also like how the fried rice that comes with your lunch special has a lot more flavor compared to other restaurants.“

“We were impressed by the friendliness and kindness of the delivery woman. The service given is exceptional and goes above and beyond what is currently available. It was a surprise how good the food was, given that most Chinese restaurants in these areas are subpar. The food was delivered fresh and hot. We ordered from this restaurant for the first time, and we will be ordering from them again. Thank you for being one of a kind!“

“The wife and I just had lunch here. We had two lunch specials. Salt & Pepper wings and Kung Pao Chicken. We were greeted and sat immediately. The owner/chefs all said hello and goodbye, and we even got a table touch from who I can only assume was the owner. Great to see that happening. Wings great, hot and crunchy, savory and salty. Kung pao chicken had great flavor, my wife was a little disappointed that it wasn't spicy, but nothing a little chili oil couldn't fix. Chili was awesome. Really spicy. The also bring you wontons and sweet and sour sauce as a small appetizer before your meal. The portions were amazing. You get rice, wonton, and an egg roll. I had to take two boxes homes. After two wings and a few bites of kung pao chicken and rice, i was done.The whole dining experience was awesome. We will be back.“

“Believe it or not a restaurant with three different cuisines that works. Felt like. A good old country breakfast and found this nearby. When I got there I changed my mind and ordered machaca and eggs with flour tortillas.Saw some delicious looking sausage and eggs go by. I am excited to try this place for lunch or dinner.“

“As someone from Hawaii where there is a large asian, esp chinese culture, this is by far the greatest tasting/quality chinese food i have ever had the pleasure of eating. Not only did i order takeout, but i had a massive order about 30 minutes before they closed. Usually this means bad quality, but here i am writing this review. I even tried calling them to tell them how phenominal this is, unfortunately it was 9 and they probably thought i was trying to order, so understandable.The garlic chicken reminded me of home, crispy, sweet savory. Fried rice, fantastic. The basics were all on point. I am honestly astonished at how good this place is. They deserve to be completely bombarded with customers. This placw should be full, always.I highly, highly recommend trying this restaurant out. The garlic fried chicken, orange peel chicken, mong. Beef, fried rice, EVERYTHING try it ALL.Also i usually only write reviews when a restaurant screws me over or has bad food, so the fact that im writing a good review you should take in account for.“

“We, a party of two, came around 10 minutes after the place had opened on a Friday. The interior is nice and spacious, and well lit. We were greeted by our friendly hostess, where we paid for our lunch and seated ourselves. The price included drinks. The bussers came every couple of minutes to clear the tables and sweep (when needed). The place was not busy, but there was a steady flow of customers coming in.I rated 4 stars because of the following:Coffee - community container, instant.Creamer - community container.Would be more appealing if there were single serving packets for both coffee and creamer.Bussers - dumping used dishes in their tub in front of customers who are eating.Would help if they could park their cart away from the eating area and carry the dirty dishes there to be dumped.Parking: Plenty of parking at the time of day we arrive. My only concern is that the parking stalls are narrow. Great for small cars, but for trucks and vans, good luck!Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to worry about.“

“Disclaimer: I am from the east coast and west coast Chinese food does not taste the same to me.I only had their version of the salt & pepper wings and fried rice. Both tasted great. The chicken tasted better and was crispier, to me, than the more popular restaurant frequented by the military. The fried rice was flavorful and a good size for two people to eat.The restaurant was clean but was definitely out dated. Luckily I was there for the food not for interior design.CON: they accept cash only, limited parkingPRO: Good food, seems like a "local secret" so not super busy“

“Love coming to this place for the past several years living in Chula Vista hidden gem great service, great flavors for a good value price. Love coming here after. The gym or Costco grocery shopping after a long day. The pho is wonderful but I always get wontons or orange “

“I love Pho. I base the majority of opinion on the strength of the flavor of their soup. The stronger the flavor the less they rushed it when cooking it earlier. The portion was exactly like I like, not too much but definitely not too little. Ingredients were all good except the mint leaves look like there were used. Leaves were ripped in half and looked like it was picked on. Not saying it was but it had that appearance and they should know better. I had mine to go and it was wrapped up so I didn’t look inside. They gave out packets of the hoisin sauce and a packet of fake sriracha 1 each…that equals a loss of a star or it’s 5 easy.“

“Going is always calm, timely and serviceable. I love coming to this restaurant, whether it be for takeout or for dine in. The fried noodles with the soup is always great, the pork and chicken is always consistent and good, the pineapple sauce is great, and the chun kuns are my favorite part of the Arizona experience. It's always been run by the same staff too—we've been coming here since I was a child and I'm now 26.“

“Hadn't been to this spot in years. Boyfriend and I decided to give it a try. We orders cheese Rangoons, chicken chow mein, and salt and pepper wings. The food came out steaming hot it was so delicious. It was fast service. The restaurant looked the same after not going for years. Would definitely recomment.“

“Good "Chinese" food here. I had the BBQ pork but I think I was expecting a different type of bbq flavor. The rice was good but somehow reminded me of stove-top- stuffing. The service was very friendly. If you're nearby, Great Happiness, is definitely worth the stop.P.S. Great Happiness only accepts cash.“

“Good food, great service. Nice big restaurant with lots of tables/seating. We stopped in after one of our morning soccer games at Southwestern College. I had the veggie pho as it was during lent. The broth was very flavorful. My daughter and husband said the garlic wings and regular pho were delicious as well. The menu is pretty extensive, so I'm sure there's something for everyone if you're not in the mood for soup. It's in a big plaza, so there's plenty of parking.“

“One of my go to spots when I'm back in San Diego. My family still lives right down the street from this place so we don't have to drive far to get some bomb food. Try the house special noodles or singapore noodles and you won't be disappointed.“

“Was in the mood for some hood Chinese food and being in National City this fit the bill.Location is in plaza, parking was decent.Clean and simple setup. Lady behind the counter was very nice, good service. Read some reviews and visually inspected the goods before picking.I went with one single item. Sweet and sour chicken. The flavor was on point but a lot of breading and hardly any chicken, point deducted.I'll be back to try some of the rest of the menu as it didn't look half bad.Price was fairly reasonable.“

“I love coconut girl! Heads up though, they are no longer in PB next to dirty birds. I went there and it is now a Thai restaurant. Go to the address yelp gives on Boston. Copy and paste it into gps because hitting get directions will direct you to the PB location“

“I can't believe I hadn't eaten here sooner, the food is amazing and made fresh daily!! I've eaten here twice now and had to write a review. The portions are definitely worth the price. This double meat combo is 8.99....what a deal. Not only is it a deal but the flavors are definitely better than Panda Express and only 3 min down the road. Please support local and stop by, you won't be disappointed.“

“This place is hided gem. We are visiting San Diego for a couple of days. Decided on Chinese food. Ma Noodle delivers so we took a chance. I’m glad we did. We ordered the Yang chow Rice, the salted chicken and the crispy shrimp. The food was great. The portions were big as well. It was enough for at least 3 people. I haven’t had Chinese food this good in very long time. Nothing overly or under seasoned. Great experience. Definitely recommend.“

“Love this this been my one of my favorite since for ever but honestly I miss the good old days they use to serve you super a lot the container plate was hard to close for so much they use to serve and the garlic shrimp was bigger ? but I understand everything is expensive now to bad is higher prices and less food but oh well I wish they could open again? and also there is one girl that is always rude and like in a bad mood should be more humble and nice to costumers!!!“
