20 Best Chinese Restaurants in Santa Clara

“Have lunch with a friend at this restaurant based on a recommendation. The portions of the food are quite good but there is no Wow factor in the taste. Also, note that the mild spicy level of the food may still be a bit too strong for those who are not used to having spicy food. However, as the price of the food is reasonable, this restaurant is definitely worth coming again to explore the other dishes on its menu.“

“Absolutely love this Sichuan restaurant! Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The Guoba Sanxian (Crispy Rice with Seafood) was amazing — you can even choose the non-spicy version, which is great for people who don’t eat too much spice.

The Stir-Fried Pork Kidney was super fresh and flavorful — tender, a little spicy, and full of that signature Sichuan aroma. And the Spicy Bullfrog Pot was a must-try! So juicy, rich, and addictive that we couldn’t stop eating.

If you love authentic Sichuan food, this place is definitely worth a visit. Great taste, generous portions, and friendly service — 10/10 recommended!“

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“Love this place. Have loved Dim Sum for many years. Now I have my go to place.“

“Food here at Lee’s Kitchen is fresh, plentiful, and served piping hot. We have been here twice in a year and so far the food hasn’t disappointed. The staff are friendly. The dine in experience could use an update as there are faded pictures of the played food on the wall“

“Excellent food and service“

“This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in San Jose they have the best Mongolian beef in the Bay Area there chicken chow main is yummy and their lunch specials are great it’s a little pricey but it’s worth it.“

“There aren't too many Korean Chinese cuisine restaurants around the area, but this is one of them! The portions are huge. We ordered a sweet and sour pork and a salt and pepper squid, and we had so much leftovers. We also tried the hotteok on their dessert menu. Everything was delicious. The service was very attentive. Overall, a great experience and worth trying. Not sure if they have a parking lot, but we just parked on the street in front of the restaurant.“

“This location has changed several restaurants, but I haven't tried it since it changed to cooking Cooking .

The food was surprisingly good, and although the price was a bit high, it was well worth it. pork neck with bitter melon $22 , salt egg yolk with fish & pumpkin $24.50 , salty fish with pork clay pot $24.50 all good!
Especially the bitter melon, it is probably the best I have ever eaten, the cooking time is just right, the pork neck is very soft, but it is full of fragrance.

The service is very warm and friendly! The tables might be too close together and it's easy to hear other people's conversations.“

“I was misled by this restaurant’s name for a long time—I always thought it was a Chinese restaurant. But when I finally came here, I realized it’s actually a Korean one. My husband used to come here often before the pandemic.

Their black bean noodles are delicious, but that’s not really what I want to talk about. What truly stands out isn’t just the food, but the service. In today’s Bay Area, especially among Asian restaurants, it’s rare to encounter genuine service. You often end up tipping for people who simply drop off your food and disappear.

But at Beijing Restaurant, you’ll understand what real service feels like—and you’ll be happy to tip for it. Their servers focus on actually taking care of your needs during the meal, without being intrusive or using those overly scripted lines like, “How’s everything tasting so far?” that interrupt your dining experience. Their Mexican waiter is neat, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely comfortable. The female server, who has apparently been working here since before the pandemic, adds to that sense of familiarity and warmth.

Altogether, it gives the impression of a place with integrity and care—a restaurant that truly values its customers. I’m more than willing to pay for real service, and I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“New restaurant at Valley Fair. Very tasty and full of flavor. Generous portions.
We ordered fried calamari and fried shrimp along with the wagyu truffle fried rice. The fried rice did not disappoint. All come out piping hot. Will definitely try the other dishes.“

“Delicious food and incredibly kind service!

They close at 2 PM, and I called at 1:50 PM to order. Even though I arrived after closing, she still prepared my food. It was raining, and she kindly invited us inside to eat and even gave us water.

We were very touched and gave her a chocolate to say thank you. The food was amazing and the service was even better.

Highly recommend. I will definitely come back!“

“Great food! We will definitely be back!“

“If you're looking for a convenient spot to grab a quick bite without breaking the bank, Joe's Chinese food is a suitable option. While it might not be the most memorable dining experience, it will satisfy your craving for familiar Chinese dishes without leaving you disappointed.“

“This restaurant is perfect for a quick lunch, the price is reasonable, the size is just right, the egg noodles taste great, and there are plenty of toppings, making it a very rich bowl of noodles.

I ordered the tofu, shredded pork and egg noodles, and I really liked the texture of the noodles.

Their Lemon green tea also very special, I smell tea aroma , lemon or mint“

“Been coming here for years. I’ve ordered takeout and dined in as well. Our family loves this place. We have ordered almost everything on the menu but my favorites are in the photos below. The service is fast and the waiters are very nice. I love bringing my grandparents here. We recently tried their fish for CNY and it was delicious! Will continue coming here with the fam. Free parking in the square is plentiful“

“We got there late (8:07 PM with an 8:30 close!) and they still served us without hesitation you almost never see that kind of service these days. The portions are huge for the price, and the taste is actually insane. I'm not exaggerating when I say l've been eating my whole life, but I've never tasted food that has this kind of perfectly balanced, explosive flavor profile. I forgot the name of the guy who served us, but he gave us 3 FREE JAJANGMYEON SAUCE!“

“A small restaurant located inside the valley fair food court. While the food is great I think the online ordering pick up process is a little messy. There is no line or area for customer to pick up the order. When the in person line is busy the cashier sometimes ignore your request to pick up the food for the online order for 5-10 mins. I would not recommend ordering online to pick up at this location.“

“This is a nice street food you need to try. The menu has plenty of selections. I tried lamb skews, beef skews, bean skews, fried chicken bones, and the hot pot. I like everything, except the fried chicken bones. The food is mild. The owner is really friendly. I will come back to try others.“
