26 Best Chinese Restaurants near Solana Beach

“The food here is great, but I'm basing my review entirely on the service.This was my first time going for a rather large dinner order for my family.Lupe and Angie were extremely kind and helpful with my order. I've never used the app before, but they walked me through its features and reward program--all while readying my large order at the same time. They really went above and beyond to help me; the service was quick (not rushed) and friendly. I've never met them before, but they made me feel like we were good friends. You can just tell they're both caring and helpful people. Honestly, it was a a refrshing experience and far beyond the normal level of service you'd get anywhere else. They deserve a raise for sure!Like I said, the food is great; but I'd go back for their top tier service alone. Thanks again for your help and friendly service ladies!“

“delicious food! all of it“

“we've been 3 times in the past few months and every time was great. we went the day after my wife's birthday, the same day our pet passed, and the staff made it a very special experience and distraction from our loss. absolutely recommend 110%. great food, great people, great experience overall.“

“The best Chinese restaurant on campus, and it was an incredible experience! The food was delicious, with a great variety of authentic dishes. The customer service was outstanding; the staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome. The service was impressively fast, making it perfect for a quick, satisfying meal between classes. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and a pleasant dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“La verdad aparte de q yo trabaje aqui esta muy rica la comida todo echo al instante“

“Very nice restaurant with a big menu. The tea had chrysanthemum and goji berries and was delicious. Shanghai rice cakes are always a good option and the dessert sesame balls were tasty. Highly recommend. There's also plenty of parking in this small shopping district.“

“The Best Ever Chinese Restaurant I Have Ever Been To. My Tita's Loved It So Mucho!!!! 5 star Rating“

“Via Uber Eats -

Ordered Lettuce Wraps. Would have given 5 of 5 stars, but the LETTUCE in my LETTUCE WRAPS was ICEBERG LETTUCE.
Am I being a snob? I don't think so. The chicken mixture was delicious! Better than P.F. Changs (which iI give a 5/10 because i couldn't tell what i was eating and almost broke a tooth on something extremely hard which was sprinkled throughout). But you should, at the very least, spend an extra dime and use a small, sturdier leaf, even romaine.
There's my 2 cents.“

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area the best in San Marcos.. my only disappointment is the wonton soup here on the west coast!! Back on the east coast the wonton noodles are large and very doughy here the are small and soft. Hard large wonton noodles in my soup. Still the best I have found other then Philadelphia and New York Chinese restaurants.“

“super nice place, the food is delicious!!! the attention's nice !!! 👍👍“

“Fried garlic pork with steamed rice 😍“

“Chealsea and Cynthia were absolutely incredible and absolutely made my dining experience 10/10. Cynthia was our waitress and recommended some amazing food and chealsea made the best drinks!!!! Will be back for sure for dinner specials and chefs feast“

“What a bargain for lunch! I was in the mood for lo mein and came upon this restaurant in my search in the area.
I didn't know how much their lunch special were until I sat down and looked at their menu. Wow! You cannot beat $11 for lunch these days and the food was served on a huge platter! I almost laughed when the waitress brought it out to the table.

This is a small restaurant with a few small patio tables in front. It was a weekday and it wasn't busy. The cashier/waitress was really friendly and nice. She had a ready smile for everyone who came in.

I wanted shrimp lo mein for lunch but only chicken or pork lo mein were on the lunch menu. I paid $2 more for shrimp and there were a lot in my dish. It was really good.
The side salad was plain and just mainly iceberg lettuce but the egg roll was good.“

“TOO GOOD ! It's been way too long since we have eaten here...close to 21 months. Even though there are heaps of Asian eateries around Irvine where we moved to in Nov, 2022 no one serves authentic Chinese food like this place. Forget about the cheesy ambience inside an old movie theater that is mostly an Asian supermarket...it's all about the incredible food. WEEKEND GETAWAY ! My wife and I hit the road at 10.30am on Friday to kick off our fun packed weekend down in San Diego. We hit heavy traffic as expected but better earlier than later. FIRST STOP ! We arrived here for lunch around 12.30pm. While my wife parked our car I headed inside to the restaurant....to my surprise Joe the long time manager recognized me straight off and showed me to a vacant table in the corner. TOO EASY ! When Joe popped over to say hi I gave him our lunch order. We knew exactly what we wanted...1 x Kung Pao Shrimp and 1 x Honey Walnut Shrimp. Joe came back with a pot of Jasmine tea and 2 tall iced waters. IT WAS PACKED ! Before too long Joe brought out my wife's huge serve of Honey Walnut Shrimp. Within 2 or 3 minutes my delectable looking Kung Pao Shrimp hit the table. MOUTHSATIONAL ! Trust me no one serves authentic Chinese food as good as here. My Kung Pao Shrimp tasted amazing...no tails on the shrimp and it was kicked up just enough. My wife was in gourmet food heaven enjoying her Honey Walnut Shrimp but I did have to pinch a few of her juicy shrimp with walnuts. THE BEST ANYWHERE !“

“Eating a lot of their food past four months through Grub Hub due to being unable to walk. It’s always excellent. Tonight’s was super excellent, chop suey with beef extra snow peas and Napa cabbage. Been cooking for over 60 years and this is one of the best and healthiest things I have ever eaten.
Also a bargain…one order is enough for three meals!!!
Thank you Chins!!!💥“

“Love this place and the food is all good 😘“

“We just celebrated our daughter's birthday and the service was really great!!! Our Server Nicolas R. made extra sure that we had everything and even went above and beyond with getting the food out hot and fast. This establishment needs more hard workers like Mr. Nicolas and the hostess that seated us Alicia. Thank you PF Chang for ensuring that our daughter's birthday celebration was a major success.“

“Just had an amazing dinner. We ordered Navratan Korma, hummus & naan, 2 chai teas, and two deserts. All of it was so full of flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were perfect.
The servers were very helpful with their dessert recommendation. The Ras Malai was better than I expected. Smooth milk cakes in sweet cream with coconut shavings. That was a great finish to a great dinner.
I will definitely be returning soon.“

“Best BBQ Pork and the Lomein is great. Been coming since they opened and never disappointed.“

“I really do appreciate good customer service, but the young woman behind the counter went above and beyond. She not only suggested I add their app to my iPhone to get a 20% discount, but patiently helped me do it when I was fumbling with the process. She saw as sweet as can be, and unfortunately I did not catch her name. I return to that’s spot at least once a month for a lunch break while at work in the La Jolla area. With excellent customer service and food, why wouldn’t I?“

“Overall: The food was good, very authentic, and it took 20 minutes for the food to come out.Fish with sour soup: The flavor is strong! But it was the perfect mixture of spicy and sour. I would highly recommend it pouring over and eating over the rice.Spicy Noodle Soup: Again, more spicy than sour. However, it was the perfect Mala spicy-nessLocation: Its in a plaza lose to the Qualcomm work place with a lot of the other places to eat. The parking might be limited if it is a busy day.Service: Food came out fast. You know its authentic when you see a lot of Asian people eating there too. The ambiance was nice too, clean and minimally decorated.Price: It's a little pricy for my taste. However, the quality is good.“

“We have always loved Chin’s Gourmet but today’s service was extra special. Sharon went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed and even got us extra sauce without us asking. She is an absolute treasure. Also the food was impeccable as per usual. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Nomal, what I didn't like is that there is a specific person that you know speaks Spanish and when you speak to him in Spanish he says no, but he turns around and speaks Spanish to all the employees, different from the manager, he speaks to you. in English or Spanish, it's a shame they do that kind of thing“

“I wish I had the time to try each and every dish…what devoured was absolutely amazingly delicious“

“Good [Original] Good“

“It’s been a long time since we’ve ordered here, but the family was craving Chinese food, it’s part of our Nee Years Day tradition. I had work today and didn’t have time to drive and pick up from our usual restaurant. Placed an order for the family on New Years Day using the Panda Express App. It was super easy to navigate. Upon arrival, I added the vegetable spring rolls, they made them fresh to order. Staff was welcoming, they smiled, they greeted you and they were all super helpful. The food was half the price of our usual go to restaurant and Panda Express offered more flavor. Everyone was happy, the food was fresh, hot and filling. We spent less than $12 each for four adults. We will definitely be back! Thank you!“
