7 Best Chinese Restaurants near Santa Monica

“Upscale southeast Asian-French fusion brasserie with a unique twist in culinary flavors. The Grilled Pig’s Tail with the house made fish sauce was simply sublime. Yum-o’licious!“

“Just pass the long queue in din tai fung and come to this restaurant. You won’t regret. Xiaolonngbao is good and at standard price. Beef fried noodles is superb. The spicy ox tail soup is a must try and basically it’s the broth of Taiwanese beef noodles. Service is excellent!“

“We love the food from Mandarin and the service from Ling Ling, the woman who works at the front. It’s been our go to place for Chinese food for quite some time. Consistently delicious and usually fast for takeout. Highly recommend! We love the lo mein, Orange chicken, eggplant tofu, mapo tofu, egg rolls, and beef with broccoli.“

“I’m a local food critic and I love this place from the customer service to the food. It’s all smiles here and great food. Not bad parking either. Come here to eat before our beach trip. My girlfriend loves the food here too. Great first time try.“

“Amazing experience. Pricey but you get what you pay for! XLB, especially the chocolate dessert was sooo good. Officially my favorite dessert.

Not to mention the customer service was spectacular. Manager Nathan and our server Sandra went above and beyond. Nathan accommodated our specific needs, while Sarah explained the menu and consistently made sure we were having a good time.

I would recommend this branch! Reserve ahead of time to avoid the wait and make sure to stop at the glass area where they show workers making the dough and dumplings!!!!

Definitely coming again“

“I’ve dined here with family and friends for decades. Good food, good hospitality, reasonable prices, and a pleasant room. Never a disappointment. Friendly too.“

“The ladies are amazing and they make the best veggies! ? YUM! So if you walk into the establishment and can’t decide if you should order the left or right, pick Panda. It won’t disappoint! Pandas food pics accurately portray what you will be served or better, can’t say the same abt their neighbor.“
