18 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.“

“Came with my gf for a cozy Sunday lunch. The place is not that crowded. We have the lamp hotpot and the duck. Waiters are friendly and the food is good. We didn't ask for any rice and they suggest to add less salt in the pot. Would definitely come back next time when around.“

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“Amazing food! Great service.

Got the lamb wrap and my partner got the mapo tofu combo with chow mein. Delicious and filling, served hot. Great alternative to waiting in long lines for the other restaurants around the corner.

Staff extremely kind and helpful!

Portions are huge, 1 dish per person more than enough for most.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food and service“

“All the food is delicious, especially the shrimp. I'm so surprised by how big the shrimp is, and the sauce is incredibly tasty! We even saved some sauce for the Tang Su Yuk. The service is great as well! I will definitely be back soon!“

“As far as food goes, definitely one of the best for HK type cuisine in south bay. Pecking Duck, Mongolian beef are definitely worth it here. Price can be a bit high but quality is nice and you get your food quick, unless you order clay pot rice which is also quite good.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food. So yummy. Fresh food“

“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 :)“

“Good service and reseñable 😊👍“

“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!“
