Chinese Restaurants near San Ysidro

“Off to Southbay an a visit to panda express. Met a friend at panda express at las Americas mall for dinner. We had a mutual friend who passed away a year ago, which he told me about in a email. Took a while
But finally met at panda. He travels alot an comes to san diego now an then. Had a great time an talked about good friend, Alan. I had a 3 item dinner. An Josh had a 2 item.
The food is always fresh an tasty!
I took my leftovers home for lunch.
Josh ate his whole dinner. Panda has a couple spicy dishes, which I've had, but not a fan of hot/ spices food.
Give panda express a try- decent prices an good food that won't break the budget!! Enjoy!!“

“I was tired of pizza and hamburgers, so I happened to find it while passing by! A friendly female clerk gave me a chance to taste it. I ordered it right after tasting it, and it was the most delicious food I've had in days!!! I guess it tasted better because I had good timing and ate it right away with fried “

“Amazing food, everything was brought in a timely manner. Our server Ellie was outstanding she was so sweet and her service was unmatched. The food came hot and fresh and it was beyond good. Would absolutely come back again and recommend to friends“

“Count your wings , today I went and they gave me 10 instead of 12 of course I came back and I told her that they didn’t give me all the wings. She looked kind of mad, but she gave me another little box with the two missing wings ! So advise count your
Wings !!!!“

“Great overall experience. I also ordered the pork belly bao buns. If you don't mind a little fat, they were fantastic. The Asian ribs were great. Kung pao chicken not to spicy hot and of course had to start with lettuce wraps!😋“

“Love your food but today Sunday April 14, 2024 I ordered by the online menu and my surprised was when I picked up my order the prices increased. UPDATE YOUR SITE PLEASE THAT IS CALLED FAKE ADVERTISEMENT. 😉“

“Good food with great service“

“Golden Mandarin in Chula Vista is open on the start of this ratings it says it's closed. But it's open i know cuz I'm here right now! Lol! Golden Mandarin is the BEST!! GREAT FOOD I LOVE THE HOUSE NOODLES AND THE LUMPIAS.“

“The food is good as well as the service. I come here with my wife and bring my mom sometimes. This is one of our favorite places to eat. My wife orders pork fried rice every time. My mom orders chop suey, and I usually order soup for the table or a meat dish. The fried chiles are great! Thank you.“

“This place is one of those old time gems you want to find. Great people, good food, and just down to earth honest people. Owners are always present and always will to help. The staff is friendly. We enjoy eating here and the prices are reasonable.“

“This is a true diamond! I’m surprise this place isn’t packed all day long!!! Prices are fair food is so rich in taste you won’t want to go anywhere else. The waitress was kind of sour but the food and atmosphere was truly great! The manager comes around to check in you! This is my Chinese place go to now!“

“If you're concerned whether or not this place is a hit or miss, trust me IT'S A HIT. Wasn't really a fan of Chinese food until I came here. Kind staff, calming atmosphere, delicious food. Will come back when I crave Chinese again“

“I Wok Chinese kitchen offer selection and quality dishes.We enjoyed the salted pepper chicken wings and house chow fan. It had delicious sauce with great ingredients and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. The server was really welcoming and helpful! Definitely love this place for Chinese food.“

“love it, place and food are good.. servers sre friendly.“

“My friends and I drove down from LA to eat at Ying Li and it was amazing!

This was my second time and I had a wonderful experience on both occasions.

The staff are so welcoming and friendly! The food is amazing and portions are generous.

My favorite dish was the salt and pepper chicken wings. They had a superb crunch and savory flavor.

I can’t wait to come back for another great meal!“

“The Best Ever Chinese Restaurant I Have Ever Been To. My Tita's Loved It So Mucho!!!! 5 star Rating“

“Food is so good and fresh . Pricey but all Chinese food in San Diego is around the same price .

They make everything fresh . The orange chicken beats out the surrounding Chinese food orange chicken around the area . Been looking for a good Chinese spot and so glad I found them .“

“They have TOP TIER salt and Pepper chicken wings. Loved the value on their lunch menu. Great place for wings and Chinese food. Would highly recommend to everyone. Love supporting small owned businesses. Wishing them lots of continued success 💜“

“After eating here I can't help but ask, " where have you been all my life?"
The Oriental Cafe offers generous portions for generous prices and unless you've fasted the whole day you will be bringing home Leftovers.
The staff is friendly and efficient as they tend to the constant flow of customers that filled the humble establishment.
Some may take mark down this Cafe for its simplistic decor; but others, like myself, find it charming. And after trying their dishes, it only adds delight to find a nice whole in the wall that let's their dishes speak for themselves.
I recommend dining in because you will get a serving of their egg drop soup and it is absolutely worth trying. It's hearty flavor reminds you of the soup you wish you had on a cold day or when you're feeling under the weather.
This is an establishment that deserves its business and I am already planning on coming back and bringing more family to experience it themselves.“

“This place has been open for decades & is one of the best! Great lunch specials & always fresh food. Their wonton soup is a hit or miss, sometimes there’s not that many wontons, more broth than anything but it’s so delicious! Definitely recommend it!“

“Food was delicious! The lo mein is a must, and because we were vegetarian, we asked for sesame tofu and they made us a wonderful plate full of fried tofu cubes and sesame sauce. The sesame balls appetizer is amazing, and the Singapore noodles were delicious. Waiter was so kind and helpful, and the vibes were great despite being on a strip mall. 10/10!“

“This place is a hidden gem right off the freeway very easily to get to service is always outstanding doesn't matter who you are staff treat you like VIP love this place food is just absolutely phenomenal great date night place to go to“

“This place has been around for a few decades it is a unique Chinese food place .
Highly recommend the wonton soup
And the Chinese combination.
The interior of the place is not too eye appealing, the bathrooms should be better
but the owner doesn't want to invest in a nicer appealing bathroom.
As for prices they can be pricey but they have a lunch special if you are tight on a budget.
As for service depending on the day you go it could be anywhere from server to more servers on busier days.
As for parking it is free and there are plenty of spots to park. They are closed on Mondays..“

“What a true hidden gem in the heart of San Ysidro near the border. Hands down one of the best Chinese food restaurants I ever had in the area and in town.YuJing Chinese Restaurant is the real deal when it comes to authentic Chinese food.

I have been here several times now and I never had one bad meal. The staff is very caring and polite to help you with any questions on the menu.

I highly recommend the salt and pepper chicken wings that also comes with fried rice. Also the Mongolian beef and fried rice lunch combo is a must to try.

If you are a vegetarian, meat lover or seafood lover you are in for a real treat. The food portions are very generous. No matter what you are craving you can't go wrong with your food selections.

You have a large private parking lot for easy access for parking. I look forward to coming back again soon.“

“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.“

“Decided to give this place a try because there were a bunch of buy-one-get-one's on UberEats. Got the spicy orange chicken, broccoli beef, lo mein, cream cheese rangoons, and sweet & sour chicken (just an FYI, the sweet & sour chicken comes with the sauce already on the chicken). I really wasn't expecting much since there were no reviews and so many BOGO deals but I gotta say, Kim's outperforms other Chinese restaurants that are in the same price range. Hopefully they won't get rid of the BOGO deals anytime soon, cause I'll keep ordering as long as they are offered. I'm impressed!“

“I was hangry after a workout and was at the laundry.

I ordered beef and broccoli 🥦. The portion size is ample and generous. It was near closing time.

The sauce was meh and I believe a main ingredient was missing. I couldn't enjoy the meal because the beef was not tender and it became increasingly frustrating to sort through for chewable beef.
I also couldn't pick the beef and cook it at home. I tossed the meal because I live too far to return. And I sense it would be resistance to fix the meal.

I would say this restaurant is also overpriced. I essentially trashed $20 bucks. I will unlikely return.“

“My childhood restaurant. I started coming here since 2014. I still come here in 2024. The food is still good. The price for the food is the only problem since it’s a bit higher than before. People that served the food are very nice and chill.“

“bueno y limpio...el mejor PHO DE LA REGION“

“Great Wall Express is my go-to spot for quick and tasty Chinese food! The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and everything is always fresh and hot. I especially love their orange chicken and fried rice — so good! The staff are friendly and the service is fast, perfect for takeout or a casual dine-in meal. Highly recommend!“

“The good
Good cheap food
Take advantage of daily specials

I had the orange chicken and house taste chicken

The bad
Only 1 person working. 1 person was in front of me,took forever. She order 2 different plates
Then he had to work on mine

He does not multi task“

“Can I give 10 stars instead of 5? Please bring this store to NYC, last time we had a store was in NJ, but closed about 4 years ago. Worth the 20-25 min Uber/Lyft one way to/from our hotel or SDCC. I tagged with me my fellow Bulgarian-American colleague and tried it: she became more of a fan than I am. We had beef wanton mami, chowfan w/ siomai, beef brocolli and honey walnut shrimp toppings, taho (we prefer classic than ube more), and jelly drink (iced gulaman drink sans the sago). Chili sauce to mix is a must have! We were here for a 4 days conference, and ordered from here 3x. Our final order was an Ubereats delivery to hotel (+0.49 long distance surcharge) just to eat in the plane as our meal back from SAN to JFK. We'd eat these over inflight (boring) fruit platter, snacks, and/or sandwich anyday.“

“This place has been one of my go to lunch spots for work and will miss it in my retirement. It's not fancy but it's good food at a good price with the nicest owners and that's what makes the difference to me.
My favorite order is the spicy orange chicken and/or the chicken skewer with steamed rice. Always delicious.
The woman behind the counter is the nicest around and gives the best portions always making sure there's enough sauce added on top for extra flavor.“

“I left San Diego 6years ago. Just moved back, and couldn't wait to eat there. I was so bummed out that you're not able to go inside the restaurant anymore and sit down and eat. I always enjoyed and love going to this restaurant , especially the shrimp 🍤 I always enjoyed the buffet 😋 👌 ☺️“
