Chinese Restaurants near Stanford

“Blend knows how to prioritize customers. The food is balanced and flavorful, the people there are kind and courteous. The only problem is that there needs to be more Blend out there (longer open hours and locations), which I think justifies a 5 star rating.“

“My comfort food. Orange chicken, Beijing beef and fried rice. Vegetable roll was superb. The chicken roll was too strongly flavoured with Shao Xing wine. Would have preferred lighter taste. Service was good as staff was patient with me downloading app to get 15% discount. Portion generous.“

“Came and found parking around the block. Put our names on the Yelp waitlist and seated in about 15 minutes. Despite how busy it was, the tables did not feel crowded. After scanning the QR code and placing the order, food came out pretty quickly and stayed warm ish on the metal plate in the center of the table powered by 5 tea lights. The stinky tofu came out first and luckily the smell did not linger. We were surprised at how affordable it was. The food did end up over lapping but the flavor profile is more or less the same.“

“The earlier one star review from Summer... If you look at her profile all she gives are one star reviews...not sure if she is trying to extort free meals in exchange for taking down her reviews but it sure looks like it. It sucks people like that exist...“

“Just had a dish of soybean seedling and it was surprisingly good! They had a perfect little crunch on the outside but stayed tender inside. The seasoning was spot-on—a nice savory, garlicky flavor with a hint of spice. It's a great simple side dish, super healthy-tasting, and feels light even when ate lots meats.“

“We had the kung pao VG chicken and orange peel VG steak. Both items were great - special mention for the latter! Been here a few times over the years and been generally happy with the food. The service was the fastest I can remember in a long time. The interiors were quite cozy without being fancy, and the soft music in the background made for a friendly, easygoing vibe that you'd hope for from a business in your neighborhood.“

“Food is wounderful and not that expensive… worth it….😃“

“Very unusual and delicious dumplings. I don’t live in the bay so I was strangely close to the two tables on either side. The service was OK, but they seemed to lose track of us for a short time.
But the flavours were very good and the portions large.“

“Hands down some of the best Sichuan Roasted Fish I’ve had. The fish is perfectly tender, soaked in a rich, numbing broth that packs a serious punch. I loved the variety of toppings—the cauliflower and bamboo shoots are flavor sponges. Large portions make it perfect for sharing.“

“Unassuming shop that serves Excellent excellent food. Very tasty and quite busy. Had to wait for seating that day. They do not rush to have all dishes come at once. Right sequential timing allows savoring of us each fresh hot dish. And amazing pricing 👍🏼. Must try 🥰“

“No frills steam table layout for take out. Generous servings, food is flavorful. Continuous flow of customers that help ensure dishes are freshly prepared and replenished. Compared to Panda Express, servings are at least double, more flavorful, and about 10% cheaper.“

“My second visit at this restaurant. First visit was during pandemic when they just opened for to go order. This time I came for dinner while waiting for my tires get fixed. It was not busy when I arrived. You can check the menu with QR code but you have to order with the server.
As there are plenty authentic chinese dishes on the menu I couldn't decide which one to order, I finally ordered Changsa noodle and chili fried chicken.
The food was ready pretty quickly. One thing I didn't pay attention while ordering was the chili fried Chicken. I expected to be dark meat and it was white meat whichbis very uncommon on this type of dish as I had this dish at many restaurants and all served with dark meat. I didn't pay attention to the description of the dish. It was good but I prefer dark meat.
The Changsa noodle is unique as it is cooked with a lot of egg, jalapeno and black bean. It was yummy but I feel the egg overpowering the noodle.
At last about gratuity. It mentions we don't need to tip but 18% is included which is a tip. It is very misleading information. If customer doesn't need to tip then 18% mandatory charge should not be enforced. Service was just ok.
When we about to leave the restaurant was almost full which is a good sign.
Overall food is good as it 4 stars but 18% mandatory gratuity will make me reconsider if I will be back for eat in.“

“I tried Seasons Noodle and Dumpling Garden, and this place definitely surprised me in a good way.

I’m not usually a noodle person. What I know about noodles is either the wok style ones I used to eat back home in Egypt or simple instant noodles at home. That said, this spot changed my perspective. The noodles here are handmade right in front of you, and you can really taste the difference. Fresh, well-textured, and done properly.

The place is very busy, which is usually a good sign, and overall the service moves fast. If you order a broth based noodle dish, it comes out quickly and is served hot, which is great. The issue comes when one person orders broth noodles and the other orders a non broth dish. Those take noticeably longer, and by the time they arrive, the broth dish is already cooling down. That takes away from the experience when you’re eating together.

Because of that timing gap, I’m taking one star off. The food quality is strong, and the handmade noodles are the highlight, but better coordination between dishes would really improve the experience.

Still, if you’re into fresh, handmade noodles, this place is worth trying. Just keep the order timing in mind.“

“I truly appreciate the authenticity of Chinese cuisine, and the exceptional culinary skills showcased. The special tea duck, in particular, captivates my taste buds with its exquisite flavor. Each bite is a delightful experience, making it a standout dish for me.“

“Tried Ox 9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles and honestly… solid spot. The thin noodles surprised me super chewy with great strength even though they’re thin. Respect to the noodle puller because that texture was on point.

The soup was flavorful and came with that classic Lanzhou level grease, which sounds intense but actually keeps the broth hot and satisfying. Spice level was perfectly balanced not trying to end your day, but just enough to wake up your taste buds.

Also tried the thick noodles from the chili oil bowl strong, super chewy, and full of character. Basically the noodle equivalent of someone who works out legs every day.

Overall, this place is a legit hand-pulled noodle fix. Great texture, great flavor, great heat. Definitely coming back whenever that Lanzhou noodle craving hits.“

“It is really tasty food. The broth I think is eapeciallly tasty.

To start I think it’s pretty quick to get a seat, even though the restaurant seems quite busy. The service also seems quite quick and you order quite fast. Seems like there is also a lot of customization available on the menu for the noodle. Once we ordered it wasn’t too long till we got the food.

Overall the food is really good. Texture of the noodle is good, flavouring is good, and spice level is good as well. I didn’t think it was too spicy which was nice.

Pleasant experience“

“Great hole in the wall! Noodles, dumplings, cold apps. All hand made. Pix on wall to help order. They sell frozen dumplings too- great deal and cash only. Credit card ok for the meal. The gentleman there is kind and helpful. You can see them making it right there. Donut place right next to it! Easy parking- big lot.“

“The best Chinese food my daughter and I have had in a long time. She’s says it’s the best she’s EVER had, and she loves Chinese food. I recommend this place 💯“

“A good Chinese restaurant with above average food. We tried the cabbage and pork boiled dumplings, the steamed pork soup dumplings, and the pan fried pork soup dumplings. The pan fried soup dumplings were the best – good flavor, crispy bottoms, and juicy soup inside. The boiled dumplings were only okay. I thought the pork filling for the boiled dumplings was a bit musky, and I found a piece of gristle in one dumpling. The steamed pork soup dumplings could have used more soup but were otherwise fine. We also ordered a side of cucumber salad, which was decent overall but a bit salty and garlicky. The service was brisk and professional. They brought us rice for no extra charge – a nice touch. We thought the atmosphere was pleasant overall, with warm lights and plants.“

“My favorite Chinese-American casual restaurant. Their house specials I’ve tried have all been great, the Super Savory fried chicken sandwich is outstanding (eat your heart out, Popeye’s), and the beer and cider are interesting, very good, and only $5 each. This is one of the fast casual projects that share the same owner as the Michelin-starred Mister Jiu’s in SF’s Chinatown, and the food quality reflects this.“

“A lovely white tablecloth setting. Great service and delicious food. A lot like Wings in San Jose which is out of business now😭. So yes I love that we found King Chuan Restaurant 😍“

“This is one of my favorite places to go for a hearty braised meat meal. Every dish is cooked to perfection and the flavors are interesting and remain authentic. Today we got the braised pork rib which were tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the duck gizzard which was very tasty. Highly recommend this place!“

“We had a wonderful dinner here, with boiling beef and pumpkin cake. We also got the beef bun. All were delicious. We love the atmosphere and deco inside. There’s also free ice cream! Highly recommended for anyone with young children, or those who enjoy a good atmosphere - it feels like a real restaurant in China. Highly recommended!“

“SUPER-delicious food, but waitstaff is clearly overwhelmed.

My friend and | shared four plates (hey, we were hungry!)
- String Beans with Garlic: cooked and seasoned perfectly!
- Pork Xiao Long Bao: also delicious!
- Shrimp, Pork w.Chives Dumpling
- and Shanghai Style Pan Fried Juice Pork Buns, probably our
favorite given the varied texture and - as with everything else-
awesome flavor l

We arrived at 5:30pm before the place was too busy, but it was soon hopping! And we didn't see very much of our server, so it was sometimes difficult to get her attention to order more or bring us the check. So I do feel it'd be lovely to have a bit more attentive and friendly service. That aside, I'm sure I'll be back to get more of this deliciousness!“

“The amount of love my family, I, and all the customers receive whenever we walk into P.F. Chang’s in Sunnyvale is truly unbelievable.

The management and staff are incredibly professional and welcoming, and they always treat you as if you’re the only table in the restaurant—even when they're busy and the restaurant is packed.

Their genuine kindness means the world to us and always makes our day.

I’d also like to recognize a few team members who have made our visits especially memorable. I apologize in advance if I’ve forgotten to mention everyone by name, but please know that we truly appreciate the entire team and everything they do!!

Big shout out of appreciation to: Neby, Julia, Randy, Felipe, Kristen, Sergio and everyone else!“

“Went with a group of 10+ people for a weekday lunch in this restaurant. As a start, we ordered the popular Chinese tea smoked duck and the honey walnut shrimp among others (spicy dishes were mostly avoided as most of us are not comfortable with eating spicy stuff). Service provided was impeccable and the restaurant atmosphere was also nice and quiet. However, the quality of the dishes did not quite match the other two areas mentioned above. Besides the smoked duck dish that was great, the consensus among some of us at my table was that the dishes were a bit too salty and oily. Also, the portion sizes that came with the meat dishes being served were barely sufficient for our table of 8-9 people (did not get feedback from the other table occupants). Nevertheless, the manager prepared a special fish dish that was not found on the menu along with some cultural explanation associated with eating this fish dish which left a favorable impression among the group of us. Thus, this helped to bump up the rating for the standard of the food being served.“

“My favorite & go to hotpot!! The meat options are amazing, especially the recommended beef (三筋). They also offer different combos thats reasonably priced with variety of food. It’s perfect for dining by yourself or with a group! My favorite soup broth bases are the tomato one and the spicy one! The beef skewer is also amazing.“

“It's a Lil hole in th wall, but th food is good. Good selection of Dumplings. Stir fry grn beans a must hv. My good to for dumplings

Vegetarian options: Veggie dumplings, fried rice n chow mein

Parking: Parkin lot is in th back so u'll hv to walk around th block, which is helpful aft ur done eating“

“Was looking for dim sum in Mountain View so this Castro Street location fit the bill.

Pros: Ample free parking behind the restaurant and plenty of seating for our 11 am arrival today (Saturday). Was fun to have the traditional cart service for dim sum again. Service was friendly and efficient. Good variety of dishes.

Cons: Most of the food was cold! That was disappointing. I guess it’s one of the trade offs of cart service.“

“The soap was very tasty, it had a lot of flavor and wasn't too salty. The noodles were great as well, they were long and chewy. There was also a good amount of meat and vegs as well. One bowl of soap coated me around 20 dollars before tip and they only took cash.“

“Wei's Fish has delicious sauerkraut Fish soup at a good price. They have both spicy and non-spicy options. Steamed rice comes included for free when you dine-in. One large fish soup is plenty for a family of 3. It is also kid-friendly with kids meals that have hot dog and spaghetti and they give younger ones a colorful pinwheel souvenir.“

“This Place is so Good and Delicious!!! They have Chinese, Hawaiian and even Pho! Been coming here a lot!“

“Great good! Clean friendly“

“look for the 3 item specials but also the cho chow mein, Mongolian beef and beef noodle soup are all really good. fast service and friendly.“

“This is my second time eating here, and the experience has been great every time! The service is attentive and the food is delicious. I especially love their grilled fish — it’s a must-try! Just a heads-up: it can get very busy on weekends!“

“とても美味しくて，良かったです“

“Ok it won’t look like much from the outside on ECR and from the rear you park in the alleyway lot and walk past the restrooms and the kitchen but… this place is the bomb. And the chefs are top notch. I feel bad not having good photos except for one dish which came on mini wok with a burner and a dipping sauce. That’s a special lamb dish with vegetables mushrooms and goji berries. They made some unique and delicious food. The staff knows the menu very well and can recommend and they have chef specials on the back of the menu. One set for Chinese and one set for American palette. Both are good and you can’t go wrong. On the wall they post their specials also. For a IYKYK tip - if you bring in your catch they can make it the way you want and charge you “cook-your-catch” fees.“

“My single dish of gluten free beef and broccoli costs me $18. Plus fried rice and an appetizer I usually spend closer to $50. I don’t know why the average cost on here says 10-20 per person.

The people who work there are kind and helpful. The food is quick and scrumptious.“

“I had lunch here for my 1st time. I will be back for many more lunches. Thank you folks very much and I’m looking forward to scarfing my left overs for dinner.“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“This restaurant is located right next to the famous Little Sichuan—healthy competition is always welcome. The interior feels newly renovated with a pleasant ambience, something I wish Little Sichuan would consider as well.

We ordered three dishes: Chongqing Spicy Chicken, Flavor Kitchen Cage Frog, and Dry-Baked Green Beans. Both the spicy chicken and the cage frog were quite good. The green beans were just okay; they were a bit stringy, and I’ve definitely had more tender versions elsewhere.

Be prepared to wait a bit for your food. It took about 15–20 minutes for our first dishes to arrive. This might actually be a good sign, since many Chinese restaurants rely heavily on pre-prepped ingredients—here it seems they cook more from scratch, which takes longer but tastes fresher.

Overall, we had a positive experience and will be adding this restaurant to our list for future visits.“

“Have been living in San Carlos for a while and only just tried Yan’s Garden tonight. NOW MY NEE FAVORITE PLACE! Food was excellent. Everything was hot and fresh, flavors were so good, service was great! Our favorite was the dry pot pork ribs!“

“Managed to get a last-minute reservation and felt quite lucky! The restaurant even followed up to confirm our arrival. The service was excellent—they even poured the sake for us. I loved the heated tray on the table that kept our skewers warm; it’s such a thoughtful touch. The menu has plenty of options, and though the place is small, it feels very cozy and atmospheric. The upside-down umbrellas hanging from the ceiling are a unique touch. One thing to note: it’s quite dim inside, so it’s a bit hard to take photos. If you're taking a group shot, watch out for blurriness!“

“great food. good service“

“I’m quite shocked how much food they gave me after all of the Chinese takeouts I’ve been too! It’s no wonder that this place has received higher ratings. This plate I have can get you full in no time unless you share it or save up for dinner later. The food here is even tasty. That two-item combo costs around $13!

I heard that this restaurant also serves à la carte, but you can also go through fast-food style like what I had today. Place wasn’t really big but the seating area in a way stands out. You can probably wait there until your order is ready. Also, I was scrolling through the foods from the display. Seems that many people ate here during lunch while I came here for dinner. Doesn’t seem that they have plenty of options from the display for combo orders, but that’s alright.

Honestly, I thought that the Spicy Orange Chicken would be very spicy, but gladly, it isn’t. I was hoping that I don’t end up drinking too much water from severe spiciness. I have tried the regular Orange Chicken from a similar place, but didn’t like it.

This will be one of the favorite Chinese takeouts I will go to for now on. Looking forward for more!“

“So freakin awesome. Tasty and spicy noodles with so much flavor.“

“I've been coming to Tao Tao's since I was a teenager. I've recently retired and moved to Sacramento, but I still dream of the Chinese Chicken Salad. Every chance I get to visit family in the Bay Area, it always includes dinner at Tao Tao's.“

“We held a reception at Kirin for 50 people and everyone was very pleased with the food and the service was very attentive. The lobster, soup, fish and scallops dishes were all very good.

My friends and I will certainly be coming back.“

“The private room experience was great—comfortable, clean, and perfect for a group dinner. It felt relaxed and private, which made the whole meal more enjoyable.

The service was smooth and attentive without being too much. Everything came out at a good pace and the staff were friendly.

The highlight was definitely the food—the Peking duck and grilled fish were so good. The duck was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. The grilled fish was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and super satisfying.

Overall, really solid spot. Would definitely come back, especially for those two dishes!“

“Great experience here. Absolutely 5 stars the food and the service. Shout out to our server ELLIOTT very nice, he took really good care of us. He made sure we are taking good care and very attentive. I celebrate my birthday here. They came to sing me a happy birthday. Great place to celebrate a birthday with a group or family . I hope the manager is reading. Elliott was AWESOME!“
