20 Best Chinese Restaurants in Santa Clara

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“Very much comfort food! I ordered the yellow braised chicken (bone-in) for lunch. It came with a bowl of rice. The chicken is very tender, and the bones were mostly easy to remove. I would love to try the spicy version next time since the fruit peppers weren’t spicy at all. I also loved the mushroom in the pot. Would love to come here again!“

“Omg the soup is sooooo good!!!!

It tastes different than the other malatang places, the soup tastes like real soup here, it’s so fresh and less MSG…

It also provides different kinds of spicy level!

And the meat and noodles are fresh i can tell… we will definitely come back a lot im sure“

“Not my first time here. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Bay Area, simply because food tastes so good and consistent in quality.

This time we had:
Shang hai crab roe noodles
Crab roe fried rice
Mongolian Wagyu beef
Crab roe & pork soup dumplings

The food was amazing, as always. Everything tasted fresh and absolutely delicious! My favorite dish is Shanghai crab roe noodles, rich, creamy, and always packed with flavor. I also fell in love with the crab roe fried rice, even though it was my first time trying it. The Mongolian Wagyu beef was tender and perfectly seasoned. The crab roe & pork soup dumplings arrived hot, comforting, and full of flavor as well.

The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food, and the service is always a 10/10. Our dishes started arriving less than 5 minutes after we placed our order, which was impressive.

This continues to be my forever favorite restaurant at Westfield Valley Fair, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“We wanted to try something we were extremely unfamiliar with, and not being Chinese speakers we were intimidated but the staff helped us out with some great suggestions and we couldn't be happier. We're definitely coming back and with more people!“

“Love, Love, Love this place! Lee's is authentic Chinese food. They've been in business for over 30 years and there's a reason for it. Delicious food, wonderful people that treat you like family. I love the walnut shrimp, pork chow mein, Mongolian beef, black mushroom chicken, and won ton soup. Hole in the wall, delicious food!! You've got to try it!“

“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.“

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

“My Korean friends always speaks highly of this restaurant. After trying it out myself, I agree this is a legit foodie finds in Santa Clara

Start with the Kan Pung Jumbo Prawn, crispy, tangy, sweet heat.
Then the Yu Rin Qi comes in with that golden crunchy chicken with aromatic sauce over fresh salad. Easily my favorite dish of the meal.
The Sizzling Rice Soup, crackling rice, savory broth.
Yang Jang Pi, cold noodles, seafood, veggies, mustard sauce.
Santung Fried Chicken Wing, the Eggplant Salt & Pepper, or the classic Tang Su Yuk that stays crispy even after soaking in sauce.
Finish with Jajang Noodle, glossy black bean richness and Jjampong, for the spicy seafood lover. .

I am convinced this is one of the best Chinese‑Korean in the Bay Area.

Service is quick and efficient.
It is a casual, family friendly place.
Parking can be difficult. Either on street parking or at the back of the restaurant.“

“The food here is unique and pretty amazing. They make their own noodles and portion sizes are generous. I ate here with my family and we got the abalone big chicken plate, along with the big beef plate. Both come with hand pulled noodles. We also tried the cold black fungus mushroom entree. Everything was delicious, but a big plate meal is sized for two people. We didn't know this going in, so we had plenty left over. Service was also really good. If you're in the mood for halal asian cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Crispy pork belly brought us to this restaurant. It didn’t disappointed us, so as another dish - house special pan fried noodles. The dishes were tasty and big portion. The Fried noodles was crispy and topped with mushrooms, fish, pork, chicken, squid, bok choy… it was a good dish! We highly recommend it for crispy noodles lover.😋 Tea and a dish of peanuts was on the house 😁😁

The staff were friendly and nice. Never push for order and check. Credit cards were accept but no Apple Pay.

The atmosphere was very Chinese style. We recognized many of its guests speak GuangDongnese. So we guessed this restaurant must serve good HK style food. We will come again!😊😊“

“Great food. So yummy. Fresh food“

“Excellent food and service“

“Pro: Food was actually very good! my mother in law, husband, kids, father in law all love it!
if you can eat spicy, I recommend the spicy seafood jiang jiang noodle.
Con: Music was very very loud, not suitable for kids or babies.“

“ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! The beef shank noodles here are the real deal. The beef is so tender it basically melts, and the broth is clearly the result of a lot of patience. But honestly, the lady boss is the secret ingredient, she’s so friendly that you feel like you’re eating at a friend’s house rather than a restaurant. It’s the kind of place that fills your stomach and ruins you for any other noodle shop. My diet officially starts tomorrow again :)“

“*USP: Korean and Chinese food. Black bean noodles and an expansive menu covering all the usual Chinese food favorites.

*AMBIANCE: large restaurant, eclectic and funky ambiance. Felt like it was some place in Hong Kong or China.

*Food: good if not great for the most part. The chef seems to be very careful or forgetful with the usage of salt though.
*corn soup: 2.5/5: sweet and bland. There was not salt at all. No amount of chilli powder, salt or soy sauce helped redeem this dish.
*chicken chow mein- 4/5- favorite dish on the table for all of us. Chicken was soft and didn’t have a funky smell or taste. Noodles felt fresh. Dish was greasy though.
*fried rice-3.5/5- came with mushrooms, eggs and some other veggies. Very nondescript and safe, felt more like a side dish rather than main.
*deep fried chicken in hot pepper sauce:3.5/5- I was expecting some fire in this dish but this was unfortunately on the sweeter side as well. The chicken had a very crispy coating per description.
*black bean noodles-3.5/5 after loving the version in Paiks noodle, it was difficult for me to like the version here. It was decent though, noodles seemed fresh and had a good bounce. But the sauce felt too soy saucy to me.“

“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.“

“Good service and reseñable 😊👍“

“The food was absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We especially loved how well-balanced all the flavors were. Definitely a great dining experience, and we would happily come back again!“

“Came here earlier after my kid’s ball game and got lucky — we arrived early on the weekend, so there was no line yet! Haven’t been to Friendship BBQ in a while, and I was happy to see they updated the menu with a few fresh seafood options. We ordered the crawfish that was on promotion — seriously, what can go wrong with $10 crawfish? 😂 My kid loved the sauce so much that we took the leftovers home, mixed it with instant noodles and a few extra ingredients, and boom… another meal done! Lmao. The BBQ skewers were great — the meat was cooked just right, tender and flavorful. The grilled oysters with garlic sauce were AMAZING. We liked them so much that we ordered a second round. And the black truffle fried rice is definitely a must-try if you haven’t had it before! Service was also really good. The waiters and manager were super nice and friendly. My kid accidentally spilled some food, and they came over right away to clean it up and made sure everyone was okay.

Overall, a great spot for Chinese BBQ skewers, seafood, or late-night snacks with friends. Good food, friendly service, relaxed vibe. Love it! ❤️“
