25 Best Chinese Restaurants in Sunnyvale

“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.“

“Feels like home!

We ordered

- dan dan noodle
- the egg fried toona sinensis
- stir fried shradde cabbage
- seasoned beef shank
- pork spareribs with house special sauce

We really like the Dan Dan noodle, cabbage and egg fried; the appetizer beef shank and spareribs taste good too they rank below the other three 😘“

“3.5/5.

Average neighborhood Mongolian grill. If you want Mongolian grill food it would work for you. If you have shellfish allergies, or maybe any food allergy, I would avoid this place. They cook by dragging the food around the grill once per person instead of a space they clean like the larger grills will do. They just place the next bowl immediately after and drag it around across the previous persons stuff. I was eating shrimp and I eat spicy, so for me it wasn't an issue. Sucks for the person following me, and sucked for my son (9) as he followed a spice lover and his dish ended up too spicy for him to enjoy. He was pretty disappointed.“

“Great good! Clean friendly“

“Okay, so I checked out this place on West El Camino Real in Sunnyvale – it’s a pretty lively spot! Definitely seemed popular, lots of people. The food was a bit pricier than I expected, almost like a fancy version of panda Chinese. Portions were decent though. The staff were super friendly, especially our waiter, she was really attentive. Parking was a bit of a pain because it’s shared with other businesses. I got the extra spicy sauce – definitely needed it! Would go back with friends for a fun evening.“

“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.“

“This is kind of a hole in the wall place. The best item we had was the shrimp fried rice. Well cooked and tasted wonderful. The dumplings were good as well. The xiao long bao was alright. I would avoid the broccoli tofu dish. That was super salty.

Service was decent. You can order online via a WR code. Plenty of parking.“

“So good! my family and I shared a couple items. soup, cucumber salad, chicken sandwich and 2 types of dumplings. Everything was amazing! I'll definitely be back!“

“Come here early! Or else they sell out fast! Cam here on a 4pm afternoon, and all of the buns were sold out expect for the pickled veggies. The nice server told us that usually at 2pm is the best time in which they make their batches in house.“

“The ladies who work here are super sweet. I rarely have their steam table food as I feel like it looks a bit sad at times, but their banh-mis are AWESOME. They also have these refrigerated puddings, and other miscellaneous Vietnamese goodies which are all excellent. I also had good luck ordering freshly made food as well.“

“I tried several dishes from Darda Express, and everything was surprisingly delicious!
The Plum Sauce Flavored Peanut is the perfect starter — slightly sweet, fragrant, and super addictive.
The Golden Broth Lamb blew me away; the broth is rich and golden, the lamb is incredibly tender, and the flavor is comforting without being heavy.
The Plum Sauce Chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy inside, coated with a sweet-tangy plum glaze that makes it impossible to stop eating.
Portions are generous, food comes out fast, and everything tastes just as good as it looks in the photos.
Definitely a spot worth coming back to — highly recommended!“

“Omg I can't believe this restaurant is not raved about enough! I've been coming to King Wah since I've moved to the South Bay Area and it is truly a hidden gem. I come here with my family whenever we are craving Chinese food and they have everything you could think of on the menu. My favorite items are the Honey Walnut Prawns (they are BOMB!), the Dry Fried Chicken Chow Fun, Minced Pork with Green Bean, Salt and Pepper Fish Filet and Sing Chow Mai Fun. The staff is so friendly and they always remember my family's order since we tend to order the same items and almost come weekly. I find it so heartwarming that they remember their customers and treat you like family. I can't recommend this restaurant enough if you are craving delicious Chinese food!“

“一家以粤菜为主的中餐馆，咕咾肉，干烧明虾，叉烧烤肉味道都很不错“

“Best restaurant in town‼️ I usually order delivery and everytime the food shows up 45 minutes later piping hot and absolutely 💯 incredibly delicious.
I don't order Chinese food from any other place. I've been a customer of First Wok for many years and nothing in California can give you better food or service.
First Wok is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING❣️“

“This review is for Jiangbing served only on weekends at this location.

When I lived in Beijing in the late 80’s I would start my day with one. The kids who ran the street food cart made my crepe with 2 eggs, diced spring onion sesame seeds on top with Youtiao and hot sauce wrapped inside.

This restaurant nailed it for me. They spoke perfect English and made mine perfectly. There is no other dish or menu item similar to this in the world that combines these flavors textures and taste. A decent blend of protein carbs and spice to start the day or fill an empty belly.

Will definitely be back.“

“Soup base is msg added for sure. Well, I guess no restaurant nowadays doesn’t add msg(or other type of alternatives) I really like their stinky fried tofu. Service is good. Reason give 3 stars for atmosphere is there always homeless roaming around in that plaza. Make me don’t want to go back again.“

“Really good rice noodles and great service! 👍Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the staff were super friendly. My favorite is the pickled mustard beef rib rice noodle — the beef ribs are so tender and the flavor is amazing. Definitely coming back!💪💪“

“From the moment we walked in, the place felt very comfortable. The decor, tableware, and lighting all created a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Ordering was done via QR code, which was convenient.

There were quite a few standout dishes. The「stir-fried beef tongue with king oyster mushrooms」was my husband’s favorite. The mushrooms were sliced thin and had a really nice crisp texture, and the beef tongue was tender with a pleasant chew. The「Fresh Winter Bamboo Stir Fry With Kurobuta Pork」was fairly standard and didn’t stand out too much, but since I personally enjoy bamboo shoot dishes, I still liked it. The「Signature Home-braised East Sea Yellown Croaker Served With Handcrafted Pure Rice Cake」was very good. The fish was tender and flavorful, and the rice cakes were soft and chewy, soaking up the sauce beautifully. Mixing a bit of the sauce with rice was especially satisfying.
The「Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce」was bright green and looked very fresh when served. It tasted just as good—light, slightly sweet, and crisp. The「Marinated Coral Shrimp」was the only dish I didn’t really enjoy. The shrimp itself was fresh, but the flavor was a bit hard to describe—slightly sweet and spicy, but somehow lacking depth, which made it feel a bit off. For dessert, the「Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cake」was delicious. It had a lightly crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior, with a hint of peanut aroma. It was very satisfying, though slightly on the oily side, so it might not be for those who prefer lighter desserts.

There was one small service hiccup: before we had finished eating, the check was placed on our table. We thought it was a signal to pay, so we settled the bill. Right after that, the server asked if we wanted to pack leftovers and started boxing up the dishes we planned to take. In reality, we hadn’t quite finished eating yet, but felt a bit awkward saying so. That said, the service was still polite throughout.

The bill included a service charge, and for two people, the total came to around $260 with tip. It’s on the pricier side, but still reasonable for the overall experience.

Overall, this is a restaurant that feels clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully done—from the environment to the food. I really enjoyed it and would definitely come back again.“

“Food was better than I had expected. For about $18 you get enough for two meals or two people. Comes with soup ( I had egg drop) that was very tasty. Definitely will he going back often. Place is not much to look out, but it's all takeout anyway.“

“I love their beef noodle soup and Hong Kong style English tea with condensed milk!“

“Amazing customer service , friendly staff.“

“I was very surprised by the food quality and items they have on offer.

I live nearby but never came in because I thought the food here would be another one with offers of many heavy fried dishes.

I wished that I came by to try here earlier than now. The food is authentic and tasty.

All those times I'm looking for good casual Chinese places but have to settle for something below par? Well, no more, I will just come here instead.“

“We came here expecting a quick meal and accidentally found a comfort-food headquarters.
The beef stew noodle soup is unreal — rich broth, tender beef that basically surrenders the moment you look at it, and noodles with that perfect springy bite. My kids, who normally treat dinner like a negotiation, asked for seconds. That alone should earn this place a Michelin star in the Parent Olympics.
Everything tastes like the kind of cooking you get at a relative’s house… if that relative had decades of Cantonese kitchen experience and no patience for shortcuts. Warm flavors, clean broth, not greasy, and deeply satisfying.
If you grew up eating Cantonese food, this hits the nostalgia button.
If you didn’t, congratulations — you just unlocked a new comfort food.
We will absolutely be back… mostly because my kids have already decided we live here now.“
