50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Santa Fe Springs

“The woman that took my order, I should have got her name, was very kind, helpful and informative. I will definitely be back again.“

“Solid casual spot for very fast quality pickup! This is a nice solid American Chinese restaurant that has ample seeding if you want to sit but is also very fast if you want to run in and grab a plate everything is ready made. I got the wonton soup with shrimp and a one item combo. All vegetables were fresh, shrimp was excellent, wontons were jumbo! Broth was seasoned very well, definitely will go back. Fast, affordable, fresh, tasty, I would skip Yoshinoya and come here.“

“Everything about this dining experience was perfect. I've never had that before, where literally every box is checked...

Every single item we ordered blew our minds with how tasty they were. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

We were traveling from Utah and were in that town accidentally. We wandered in to the closest restaurant nearby and were not at all prepared for how nice this was. Even though we were not looking our best from a long day on the road, we were treated kindly and even had nice conversation with the owner.

This is now on our must list EVERY time we come to California!“

“Came here for my Grandma’s 80th birthday. Was recommended this spot for Peking Duck by a friend and it did not disappoint. The duck meat was juicy and duck skin was crispy. The eggplant was flavorful while the soup was pretty refreshing. I thought the grilled eel was ok, not very strong in flavorful in comparison with the rest of the meal.

The staff were very friendly and food came out promptly (not much of a wait). I would come back again for the Peking Duck alone!“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“Had a yummy dinner with great service in a lovely setting. We love the hot and sour soup here and the lemon yuzu scallops are my absolute favorite! Love the beef rolls and the cauliflower dish too. Truffle xiao long bao are so fragrant and yummy! Everything is always delicious. The sticky rice drinks are so good too! One of my fav toppings anywhere! Always a delicious meal.“

“We had a great experience at P.F. Chang’s! The service was excellent, and our server was so kind, friendly, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was full of flavor. The drinks were also amazing—perfectly made, not too strong, just right. There was no wait when we arrived, and we were in and out within about an hour without ever feeling rushed. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Food is delicious! If you like spicy can try it. If not, you can order one for non-spicy. Many different choices!“

“Amazing food, excellent service, & huge portions with very reasonable prices. I ordered the 3-item combo and got the beef broccoli, orange chicken, & chow mein. I'm 6ft 2in and ~225 lbs and couldn't finish my plate and i have enough leftover for a meal tomorrow. The couple behind the counter were very kind and saw me and my gf eyeing the honey chicken and gave us samples. Very cute and sweet, the fruit tea drinks were amazing too. The portion size you get is so worth it, I'm only coming here now vs the big chain competition, they were super caring and sweet answering our questions and helping with our special requests. 10/10 I'll probably be back when my leftovers run out this weekend.“

“Great Dim Sum spot for classic dim sum food and not too long on wait for a table.“

“I've been craving skewers and this place hit the spot!! We got their early around 6pm and there was no wait. Got seated right away.

We ordered the beef, lamb, and chicken skewers along w some buns, golden soup and topped it off with dessert durian pizza.
I couldnt give it a 5 stars for the food because I felt like the lamb skewers could have been better. There was a lot of fat and being that the skewers are very small, each bite should be meat of lamb not fat. But overall the food was good and it tempt my craving.

The price overall was high. I managed to rack the bill over $150 n that's just with 3 of us. So be prepared. 😄“

“One of the BEST eating experiences I've ever had.
Not only had I never been here before,
But I had never tried Szechuan food.

I'm not local to this area, but my friends one day were raving about this place. We drove over 40 minutes to go here,
And honestly I didn't expect too much,
Just wanted to hang with the boys,
But once I took my first bite-
Wwwaaaaoooooowww. I was SO surprised at how unique and delicious this flavor was.

We ordered a lamb plate, where they served it with toothpicks, I'm uncertain of the name of the dish,
But my goodness. It was one of the best things I've eaten. I love spice, and this was spice in such a unique way that I had never had before. My lips were numb, not in an uncomfortable way, but in a truly exciting way as far as a food experience is.

We also got other plates,
But to me the clear stand out was the lamb dish with the toothpicks.

If this place was any closer,
I'd be paying rent there, eating there like 3 times a week 😂

The staff is friendly and extremely accommodating, attentive, and helpful.

Our dishes came with this lovely tea, and perfectly steamed rice.

It was such a satisfying experience all around that I had to write this review to support their business.

Now, I don't think I'll be able to eat Szechuan food anywhere else and honestly- I am not upset about that.

If you haven't tried this hidden gem,
It's with the trip out to experience it.

Parking is... Horrible honestly, the restaurant faces a busy street,
But even still,
It's absolutely worth going here.

Bring anyone who's like me and hasn't tried Szechuan before,
And they'll be just as happy with their experience as I was.

Look forward to coming back here in the future.“

“the restaurant is super clean. If you show up thinking you're going to order Orange chicken, Broccoli beef, kung pao chicken or any of that chinese fast food then this is not the place for you. BUT if you're looking for some delicious mouth watering dumplings cooked in various forms then you're at the CORRECT place. I brought my mom here and we tried the pork chive regular dumplings, the pan fried beef and cumin dumplings and the regular fried rice. All of it was delicious. Also they give you a complimentary bowl of egg drop corn soup. NOT a small bowl but a good size portion, it was GOOOOOD. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family and I want to try the beef noodle soup. DON'T fall asleep on the fried rice.“

“I really love Panda Inn in La Palma, California for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🥡🥢“

“I've been here a few times over the last couple of months, and it's been consistently great. It gets busy - come early during weekend!“

“I personally love their jajangmyeon. The best jajangmyeon I ever had was at Yong Moon Lu @ Rowland Heights (please try their gan-jajangmyeon/간짜장), but this one is pretty good too. The jjamppong is not bad either.

I will definitely come here again.“

“It's still the best restaurant for me and my family. Can't believe every time I eat their food, feel the same as the first time, when your first and last bite are equal of tasteful, you know you're hitting the right spot.

Thanks to this family for giving me the pleasure of being a diner at this place.“

“We ordered the sauerkraut fish and the portion size was huge. It was more than enough for two people, and we still had a lot of leftovers to take home. The flavor was really good--savory, tangy, and comforting without being overwhelming.

We also tried the quail eggs, which were battered and fried. They were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and honestly super tasty. Perfect little bite-sized snacks.

Overall, great portions, solid flavors, and definitely worth it if you're hungry or want leftovers for later. Would come back again!“

“Long Xing Ji is one of my favorite places for soup dumplings in LA!

The pork soup dumplings were juicy and full of rich broth, while the shrimp soup dumplings were fresh, flavorful, and packed with whole shrimp. Both are must-orders if it’s your first visit.

The giant crab roe soup dumpling was definitely the star of the meal. It came with a straw so you can sip the delicious soup first before enjoying the generous filling. Such a fun and satisfying experience!

We also ordered the cold pork kidney, which was surprisingly good. It was very fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned with no gamey taste at all. The sweet and sour pork ribs were a huge portion, incredibly tender, and coated in a delicious sweet-savory sauce. The scallion pancakes were crispy, flaky, and freshly made.“

“Delicious food . Not a long wait. I will return 🤗“

“Great food and new location!“

“I've been coming to this place for a very long time and never took the time to give them a review. The food is very good, it is cooked to order and it comes out quickly & hot. Their portions a very generous with very fair prices. The service is always wonderful and friendly. I highly recommend to check them out. Lunch specials are great also!“

“Excellent food and great service. Family owned and my favorite local eatery. Please try it.“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“Good restaurant I love the food“

“my family took me to celebrate father's day to this place . first let me tell you the food is better then din tai fung and cheaper. if you looking to explore another place to eat you must try coming here. the restaurant is small place to seat down we waited 45 minutes to seat but it worth it ..“

“We ordered a take out order for the first time. We've been wanting to try Silver Palace and we're so glad we did! We had walnut shrimp, Kung pao chicken, egg rolls, chicken chow mein and fried rice. All of it was so delicious and the servings were very generous. We'll be back!“

“Delish! Been coming here for years!“

“I love everything about Chowking . From Siopao, mami, wanton soup and desserts and drinks. Halo halo, buchi buchi, taho, and so much more. Feels like you’re in pinas.👍🥰“

“I googled "best Chinese in LA" and then this popped up as the #1 place. So we drove - and had a very good meal. However, if you expect the classic Chinese dishes, you will be disappointed. This is Shezuan, "a different animal". So no rice, no sweet-and-sour-this-and-that. So be prepared for very spicy Szechuan food. Noodles. No rice. Try the dumplings, they were delicious. We ordered mild (1 out of 5 spice degrees) and we were burning inside (we had two separate orders of dumplings - but spice grade 1. There is no consistency, so be careful). So if spicy is what you are "in" for, you'll love it. The ambiance is sort of authentic ;-) - the sign on how to use the toilet (outside the restaurant in the alley) says more than words. But then, it was $100 all-in for the four of us only. My advice: I could barely understand the service language. Better check the menu before you go. As we were first-timers, I wanted to share three starters and three mains among the four of us and leave it up to the waitress to make us explore - she did not understand. I asked if they served beer. The answer was "noodles or dumplings". :-)“

“This Chinese place is just too cute and adorable. They have great food, be it take out, delivery or dine in. We have done all three. It can get crowded and I don't think they take reservations. It is worth the wait.

The service is nice. The staff is wonderful and they know the menu well. You can call ahead and your food will be there for you to pick up. We often just have it delivered.

All of their food is super. We really love all their rice dishes and they are packed with flavor. Their shrimp dishes are really good and anything with crab will make you happy.

Parking is easy and yes, you will have to wait in line, but again, it is well worth it. So have fun and enjoy. It is also very clean, including the bathrooms.“

“I’ve been coming to Savoy Kitchen for a long time, and it’s still one of my go-to spots in the area. We ordered a spread of classics during our last visit, and while the food is still generally good, a few things felt a bit different this time around.

​The Hainan Chicken Rice is what put them on the map. The chicken itself remains incredibly tender and juicy, and the trio of sauces still hits the spot. However, the chicken-to-rice ratio was definitely off on this visit—there was a mountain of rice but a pretty small portion of chicken. More importantly, the rice lacked that incredibly rich, savory chicken broth flavor that used to make Savoy stand out from every other spot. It tasted a bit more muted than before.

​Luckily, the other dishes we tried held up their end of the bargain:

​The Bread: Served fresh and nicely seasoned, though it was on the denser side rather than being light and airy. Still good for snacking on or soaking up extra sauce, just heavier than expected.

​Chicken Pasta: A comforting, simple dish with plenty of tender chicken strips tossed in a light, savory broth.

​BBQ Chicken Pizza: Generously topped with thick slices of chicken, red onions, and plenty of melted cheese.

​Savoy is still a classic, and the meal overall was satisfying. I just really hope they bring back that signature richness to the chicken rice and balance out the portions again!“

“Service was fast, friendly and very helpfull....food was also great by the way. I came on a weekend and it was very busy and had to wait but still was well worth it.“

“If you're looking for a true authentic Peking duck in LA, Ji Rong in Rosemead is easily one of the best spots around. I came here with a group of friends ( 6 People) and the vibe is super casual, unpretentious, and perfect for a family dinner or a big feast with friends.
The Peking duck itself is incredible. The skin is shatteringly crispy and perfectly rendered so it isn’t greasy at all, and the meat stays seriously juicy. Wrapping it up in those thin, translucent pancakes with the fresh cucumbers, scallions, and that rich sweet bean sauce is easily the highlight of the night. Reminder to definitely pay the a little extra to have them turn the rest of the duck skeleton into the duck bone soup at the end. It's incredibly comforting and satisfying and it’s something you definitely want to try.
Aside from the duck, we ordered a few other dishes on the menu to share. The hand-grabbed pancake is a must-order—it's super flaky, layered, and delicious. We also tried their cold noodles with the sesame mustard sauce, which was a really refreshing contrast to the rich duck.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 comes down to the logistics. This isn't a place where you can just walk in on a whim and order a duck. Because of the traditional prep work, you absolutely have to call ahead to reserve your duck. (ideally a day in advance). We called two days in advance and it was prepared and reserved for us. Also, if you go during peak weekend hours, the service can get a bit frantic and chaotic because the place gets packed. But if you plan ahead, the food is completely worth the experience. The service was great. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. The ambiance is not the most modern but like I mentioned, it’s a casual place for families or small groups to go and enjoy.“

“All the food is cooked fresh. The veggie soup had a light, classic flavor that I know and love. The family style bean curd/tofu had a nice flavor and texture. Rice is included and there is chili sauce and chili oil to spice up your food. The service was good, the lady there is so nice and stays busy.“

“Fresh snakehead fish 𓆜 paired with tender frog legs 🐸, simmered in a flavorful spicy broth.

The restaurant’s signature secret dipping sauce 🫕 is the real game changer — packed with numbing, spicy, savory, and aromatic flavors that take every bite to the next level. 🤤🌶

The Sorrowful Jelly Noodles (Shangxin Liangfen) 🍜 were also delicious — refreshing, spicy, and incredibly addictive! 🔥✨“

“The three vegetarian dishes that we ordered (eggplant, Chinese broccoli, and home-style tofu) were delicious and the portions were very generous. The restaurant owner was kind and friendly, and he recommended the dishes according to our preferences. Highly recommend 💚💚“

“just ordered food from China Gourmet in Signal Hill, Ca.. upon entering the restaurant a young man greeted me with a hello. He was pleasent and welcoming. He took my order of mushroom chicken, mixed vegetables and rice with a two order combo. I had BBQ pork, half and half and jalapeño chicken, with two drinks. Returned home and started to dive in! WOW IT WAS AMAZING! The pork was cooked just right, the chicken was extremely delicious and chow mein was actual chow mein and not Top Ramen noodles substitute. my friend who ordered the mushroom chicken and vegetables couldn't stop eating. I've been to numerous fast Chinese food places and none of them have been as good as this place with the quality of food and the amount given. the price was moderate in today's society of price gouging it was $27 and well worth it. if you enjoy Chinese food and really want to get a bang for your buck as well as and enjoyment of flavors in your mouth go to China Gourmet!“

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.“

“The place was empty so we were initially a bit doubtful. I’m glad we made the decision to stay because ALL of their dishes were delicious, not just their Hainan chicken but also their beef, wings, and even their stir fried veggies tastes like it came from much bigger restaurants.“

“Food: Grabbed a modest amount of fixings (i.e., veggies, seafood, meats, etc.) for my soup, which totaled out to be ~$13. Not too shabby. Opted for the beef bone broth; however, there was a taste/smell to it, reminiscent of lamb (I only got beef), which was unexpected and a bit off-putting for me.

Service: Decent. While it isn't a standard sit-down restaurant, be prepared to be charged a gratuity for a party of six or more.

Ambiance: Casual. Pretty spacious and clean, including the ingredient + sauce bar.

Parking: Ample parking, but located in a relatively busy/ high-traffic plaza, so parking could take a minute, during peak hours.“

“Xiao Long Bao - so delicious compare to Dai Tai Fung“

“I really love eating the beef fried rice at Lucky Chopsticks Cypress for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🥡🥢“

“Love this place! Food is the bomb they sale breakfast lunch dinner and Chinese food!! If you haven’t tried this. You have to try it😍“

“Lee’s Barbecue is so good! The chow mein is very flavorful, but not salty, and everything tastes super fresh! From the meats to the veggies. Even the boba is bomb. Good prices and really friendly staff. Definitely one of the best spots! You guys have to try it!!“

“Tried Vege Valley Restaurant recently and honestly it was a good surprise. I’m not even strictly vegetarian but the food was really flavorful and fresh. Ordered noodles and a veggie dish both were well cooked and not too oily, which I liked.
The place is simple perfect for a relaxed meal. Service was quick and staff were polite. Pricing also feels reasonable for the portion size.
Only small issue was parking, took a bit of time to find a spot. But overall definitely worth visiting if you want healthy and tasty veg food.“

“I love the Egg Rolls!! I've been looking everywhere for these egg rolls since I was a kid. There was a restaurant in Alhambra called Nams, it was my Grandma & Grandpa's favorite Chinese restaurant. My wife got the Mushroom Chicked delicious!“

“Great food and kind service here. String beans are especially tasty. Chow mein and orange chicken also stand out. Reasonable prices in nice location just off the 5. The family who run it make you want to return. Better to eat here than at park when going to Angels game!“

“Yummy yummy food!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Tasty Goody in Norwalk is hands down the best Chinese food place this side of the Mississippi. I go there whenever I want some ? orange chicken, and it never disappoints. The portions are huge, and the prices are great for how much food you get. The orange chicken has the perfect amount of crunch and sauce, and the noodles are always fresh. I’ve tried a lot of places, but nothing really compares to Tasty Goody. Plus, the people there are super nice and quick with your order. Definitely my go-to spot for Chinese food.“
