Chinese Restaurants near Sylmar

“Continuing with the next latest comment, I need to reply: I am the lady with a ponytail. I work for Panda Wok and things are not like that at all. The fact is that they are homeless. Yesterday, one kind customers who bought a meal for them to eat, but they were too rudely and wanted to get a refund after eaten . I asked her who bought it. She said her uncle, and I explained that the refund needed to be made in person. Then she just casually said that she’s uncle was in the hospital and I said he could come over at any time. We can refund at any time… but she wants gets refund right now“

“They serve you fast and are very polite well at least the day I went. They give a lot of food for the price.“

“Food hot and fresh. Plenty of tables but gets crowded. Limited parking due to different businesses on-site. One restroom which requires a code. Friend had to ask for toilet paper. Trash can contents overflowing onto the floor. Right by the freeway. Busy street due to many nearby businesses. Handicap parking and wheelchair accessible but I would not choose this place due to limited space.“

“Good food and service. This was our first visit, and we will definitely be back. The only thing that was odd was that when we asked for sugar for the tea, they brought artificial sweetener. When we asked for real sugar they said they didn't have any. The waiter said he would check with the kitchen to see if he could get some of the sugar that they cook with. He then brought some to the table in a cup. Ultimately we got sugar but it was odd that they said we were the only ones that have ever asked for it. Overall it was a good experience.“

“Needed to edit my online order but couldn’t after placing it, so called the restaurant and luckily was able to get some quick, easy assistance from David! He was able to substitute the item for me without issue. When I arrived, he confirmed my whole order for me and visually showed me that everything was there. Portions and quality were great. My favorite was the Mongolian beef. Would definitely come back, especially for a good lunch special!“

“Always nice service and friendly service“

“A well-known Chinese restaurant with a good size menu. They also have a small Dim Sum selection. The restaurant is clean, the service is good and plenty of off-street parking. The food is well prepared and tasty. We had the pork fried rice and the orange chicken.

Parking: Approximately 20 spots of free off-street parking. Pull into the driveway and park behind the restaurant and you can enter the restaurant from the back door or the front door.“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“We went here for the first time on New Years Eve. . . I noticed the atmosphere is not your typical chinese restaurant. . . we ordered the assorted app plate, tofu with black bean sauce, seafood plate and egg fu yung. . .
The apps were good. . and served as a pu pu platter setup. . I'm not sure if they know what that is out here, but it's very popular on the east coast. . .
The main dishes arrived. I was expecting something different, but was quite pleased with the food after all. The ingredients used are fresh veggies, broccoli, bok choi, etc. . . we ordered alot and ate alot. Me and my wife agreed it was a very healthy meal really. . . surprisingly so. . . I was a little let down by the tofu and black bean plate, but my wife was happy with it. . . a few veggies or something in there wouldn't go amiss. . anyway, we will return at a later date. I do suggest this place as a healthier option to the normal chinese food you might get elsewhere. . The service was very good as well. Friendly. I noticed many of the people who came in were regulars. . . this restaurant also has a family type feel to it. . we'll return in the future. . .“

“We walked up and weren't sure if the place was open, but luckily some other patrons walked up at the same time so we followed them in. So glad we did! This is one of those Chinese places that opened when Adam was a lad and hasn't changed its approach since. The carpet looked original (and therefore quite worn, but that is literally the only thing I would change if I bought the place. I'd pay the chef whatever they wanted to stay, keep the service staff, keep the decor, and above all else, keep the menu. Traditional Chinese-American restaurant menu (quite long but mostly just variations on the same dozen recipes, swapping out proteins), but extremely well executed. We are new residents of the Valley and we will be regulars here.“

“My new favorite Chinese food!\nWe had the food delivered last night. I saw a recommendation for the restaurant on line and was it ever a great discovery! We had sweet and sour soup, mu shu pork, sweet and pungent shrimp, sesame beef and Buddha’ delight vegetables. Every bite was pure delight! I’ve been looking for a new Chinese place since my old favorite went out of business. I will look no further!“

“This is my first time ordering from Golden City Chinese food.
I don't normally post about food establishments. I could not help myself due to the quality of the food amongst other things listed below 👇🏽.
1. I placed my phone order and the customer service is TOP TIER
2. My delivery order was very smooth and the young man that delivered my food was very kind!
My food was FRESH AND PREPARED TO PERFECTION! I WILL ORDER MY CHINESE FOOD FROM Golden City Chinese ONLY from now on!
EVERYTHING I ORDERED IS A 10/10.
Thank you Golden City Chinese..The BEST HIDDEN SECRET IN THE ENTIRE VALLEY!
🤗🫠💯“

“If you like Panda Express, this is the restaurant that started it all. Food is much better here, and there is a much larger selection than Express. Friendly staff, and great portions. You will not leave hungry.
From the wontons and paper chicken, to the orange chicken and Mongolian beef. We usually go with at least 5 of us, and 3 plates feeds us all. With a couple of apps, of course.
If you've never been, give them a try.“

“we come here often for their lunch specials and yummy food“

“Was planning to get tacos nearby but decided to try this spot instead.
Surprised by how big the portions were—definitely worth the price. Orange chicken had good flavor, but the breading wasn’t as fresh as I’d like. Chow mein was a little too soft for my taste, but still had decent flavor.

Staff was polite and service was fast. Place looked clean and food came out hot.
Not perfect, but not bad either. I’ll come back again to try other dishes. 🙏“

“My gal and I have been frequenting China Wok for over twenty years and, frankly, the food is always good. This level of service, and excellence, is a rarity--- the consistency of which is remarkable. For a real "old school" Chinese atmosphere, China Wok is it; as well, the prices are still reasonable. You won't find a better restaurant serving this cuisine in Santa Clarita, period.“

“Great chinese restaurant, the noodles are very fresh and the meat tasty. The beef roll appetizer is a good size. Everyone liked the soup as well. My only wish would be a way to make the dish spicy without chili oil as it makes the dish even more oily.“

“I was a bit skeptical at thinking it is another restaurant serving s*ty soy sauce drenched noodles, but it was such a pleasant revelation how good the dishes were.

The Super Wok Special Beef is the one to order! It is incredibly tender, slight sweetness to it and buttery. It it served on top of a bed of sliced oranges. It is guaranteed to make you keep coming back for more. The dish is $19+ and serving is generous.

I went back another day to try out the lunch special. This time it was the crispy salt pepper shrimp selected. For $13.75, it came with a soup of the day, rice and the entree. Serving was very generous, maybe even 2 people can share one. It was excellent!

I regret ordering the prawn crispy noodles. Tasted terrible and too salty. Kind of like an overdone soy sauce noodles.“

“The food is delicious. :)“

“Chowking is one of the best Filipino small restaurants here in California. Their halo halo is one of my favorite especially summer time. Beef noodles and pork asado siopao is also really good. Employees are very nice and friendly and the parking is good too.“

“$8 combo with decent sized portion--chow mein, fried rice and a meat! Can't beat that! No frills restaurants. They don't soak their rice in oil like many Chinese restaurants. Good orange chicken, also saw they have jalapeño chicken and fried banana.

Parking might be tough in this neighborhood but it's free.

They take cash and card“

“This is my go-to spot for food after a trip. The last thing you want to do when you come home from traveling is cook and this restaurant always hits the spot! Lots of vegetables, large portions, fresh hot green tea and soup with each meal when you eat in. They have lunch and dinner combos, but honestly everything on their menu is awesome. My favorites include orange chicken, szechwan sliced bbq pork, mongolian beef, honey walnut shrimp and the dish I order every single time I go: buddha’s delight. It’s packed with various vegetables in a slightly sweet sauce that delivers the nutrients your body is craving.

They offer take out, but I suggest dining in to get the full experience. The walls are decorated with a mix of artwork and images of their food while a pop station plays in the background. You’ll sometimes find the kids doing homework at one of the tables during the week. They’re sustainability friendly too, so if you’d like them to package something up in your own container, they’re happy to do so. So grateful to have a traditional chinese restaurant that’s run by a family like this in the area.“

“Food is really good and fast service. All the service staffs are courteous and proactive. They'll even pack the left overs for you to go. Sodas are all canned (no fountain). The place is kind of old but they still manage to keep it clean and neat. You need to sign to queue (dont wait for someone to reserve your table). Overall this is our go-to for Chinese food cravings.“

“Saw this place on IG a while ago, but subconsciously just scrolled through the post not remembering the name. I just happened to stumble upon it while getting my car serviced, and realized it was the place when I saw they were serving people fat portions of food.

Hyped I found the place. Great price, portions. Can easily feed 2-3 people. Quality is what you would get from a fast food Chinese place which is also great.“

“I really enjoyed the food and it was not very pricey at all. Most of the plates, even the favorites at that, we’re about $15… Everything on the menu is Vegan 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“I used to frequent this place circa 2001-2002. Does anyone know what happened to the people who owned it at that time?“

“I tried the vegetable chow fun and really enjoyed it. The noodles weren’t the wide, flat style I was expecting — they were more like fettuccine in size — but the flavor was excellent and the vegetables tasted fresh. Portions are large and generous, so you definitely leave satisfied. The service was fast and friendly; my server, who I think might be one of the owners, was very professional and welcoming.

What stood out to me is how much the restaurant feels like a true family-run spot. I saw several Chinese families dining in, as well as plenty of local families hanging out and enjoying their meals together. That’s always a great sign that the food is authentic and the atmosphere is comfortable. Overall, the chow fun was delicious, the service was outstanding, and it’s the kind of place I’ll be coming back to often.“

“It's always nice when mom-and-pop businesses, especially restaurants do well against corporate rivals. Many small Chinese restaurants have succeeded by following the trailblazer (i.e. Panda Express) and offering similar fare (e.g. Orange Chicken).

JJWok is the exception. This hole-in-the-wall grew it's base of loyal patrons from offering a menu full of excellent dishes, many of them not served at Panda restaurants (try the Jalapeno Chicken).“

“The best Chinese food around! It’s mom n pop owned by this very kind Asian couple for almost two decades. Not only is the food delicious but always fresh! My favourite is their stir fried vegetables but I’ve tried half of their menu and all is quite delicious! It is very delicious everything they offer and affordable too especially in this economy. Easier to have them cook than me buy ingredients and clean up.“

“I've been to Asian food restaurants from Monterey Park.. L A. ... West L.A. So I was pleasantly surprised at North West valley of Porter Ranch. Golden Hunan food was excellent and service made for a lovely experience. Now I have a reason to visit Porter Ranch...“

“Went to the area as a tourist from Canada and decided to check this place out. Very friendly family ran restaurant with one of the best Chinese food i’ve ever had in the LA area. Extremely clean and friendly staff with generous portions. Would definitely come back when i’m in the LA area for a visit.“

“Great Chinese Food. Brought the whole family and everyone loved it. Highly recommend the spicy calamari!!“

“09/20/2025

I was here often around the end of 2019.
I remember they used to have good chicken wings. I haven't been here since then untill today, and I won't be here maybe for years atleast since I eat almost everywhere.

By the way... if you're on a budget, this place is a good place to eat. Their portion is generous and the foods are good. The Chinese lady who take your orders, scoop the foods, and charge you on the register has been very nice everytime I visit this place, doesn't matter how long she hasn't seen me, she's always kind.“

“I love coming back here for the Pad see ew and the pad Thai! Their food is always piping hot and so full of flavor. I know my photo doesn't do much justice, but it's so delicious.
100% recommend anyone to come and try this place out.“

“Well priced, authentic Thai food! Lams looks like a small hole in the wall, but the food is extraordinarily delicious. I ordered 9 meals for a group of friends and on pick up it was ready on time, packaged beautifully and still very warm. Every meal was perfectly cooked and so tasty. Just an incredible, friendly, quality Thai restaurant. I've been ordering from Lams since before Covid and it never seizes to impress. Do yourself a favor.“

“Looks to be newly remodeled inside. The Pad Thai is my favorite, but there really are so many delicious options to choose from. The staff is so sweet!
I have ordered online and went in before, but this time I called it in. They made it super easy! My order was accurate and so delicious!“

“Unfortunately, they got my order wrong last time I stopped by. Hey, mistakes happen. Called to let them know and Jonathan (Mgr) assured me they would take care of it. Went in last week and Jonathan remembered me, and went out of his way to make everything right. Thank you for you great customer service.“

“Everything we ordered was 😋delicious. These guys are same as Roscoe and Topanga Szechuwan Garden!!! Yum Yum“

“I love this place... ribbs, hire soup, fried and white rice, egg rolls, lots to choose from LUNCH MENU 11AM-3PM AWESOME 😋“

“Great food, fast service, and the price for a combo plate is amazing considering the amount of food they give you.They really Jam Pack your plate until it can barely close!11$ for Combo A comes with 2 items plus rice, chow main or 1/2 and 1/2 and 13$ for a combo B which comes 3 items plus what I listed above.I always come to this place (at least 1x a week) and it’s always been the same great quality for years! ???“

“No dine in so I won’t review service and atmosphere. Crab Rangoon was good. Orange chicken was fairly good but some pieces had more orange flavor than others. Black pepper beef had lots of vegetables and would have preferred more beef, flavor was good but could have been more peppery. Xo sauce string beans didn’t have much flavor, but I tasted the sauce in the bottom of the container and it was good so maybe the beans need to marinate more. I’ll try it again tomorrow and see if it tastes better. So, all in all, I’d say the food is kind of average.“

“Great food, prices are incredibly affordable, and they have plenty of parking on site. The employees are always friendly and quick to assist so they keep the line moving. Best thing so far about this spot though? They have Char Siu, it's one of my favorite dishes and I've been struggling to find it here. The portions are incredibly large too, probably could split it between 2-3 meals depending on how much you eat.“

“I LOVE this place!! The bbq pork is so good. So is the bbq chicken. So is the Jalapeño chicken. The fried fish is bomb af!! Basically everything is ridiculously good here. And they pack it up!! Only thing I wish was better is the fried rice. It's mid at best. But everything else is absolutely on point.“

“This spot is fire. We arrived 5 min before they closed like idiots and the trays were already out of food but instead of turning us away they asked what we would like and made it for is FRESH on the spot. They were super friendly and charged us close to nothing for 2 very full plates of absolutely delicious food. If you’re looking to try a new spot don’t 2nd guess it needs to be here. There was even more people coming in after which they also helped out AMAZING SPOT DEF COMING BACK THANK YOU!“

“I've never been here before but I ordered from doordash on a whim.

We had the wor wonton soup, pupu platter, and the veggie egg rolls. They also sent us pork ribs! I'm guessing the pork ribs were a bonus. Either way, the food was absolutely delicious! Next time I'm in the area, I plan on ordering from them again because the food was so good! 5/5“

“From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was going to be special. The cozy ambiance set the mood, and the staff greeted me with genuine smiles.

I ordered the Asado siopao and beef wonton, and wow both were bursting with flavor. The siopao was fluffy with a delicious filling, and the beef wontons were rich, tender, and comforting. I was so excited to try them, I didn’t even stop to take a photo!

Great food, great service, great vibes. What more can you ask for?!“

“Worst food I've ever had. We walked in. There was tables in front of the dining area. Asked if we could dine in she said oh yeah for you no problems. Ordered. The scallop roll and spicy yellow tail was the slimiest and most disgusting fish I've ever eaten. Where's food!! Would recommend only using the bathroom there which was unkempt and poorly maintained!!“

“Probably the best teriyaki chicken in the whole valley! But.. don't let it sit too long because the teriyaki sauce will end up at the bottom of the food and your girlfriend will get mad at you and accuse you of forgetting to have them put on that delicious teriyaki sauce ?“

“The lunch special here is amazing and for the price, it's totally worth it. I came here yesterday to grab lunch when my wife was getting her face treatment nearby. I saw this place before on Google Map and looked at it so I knew it was an option to get food from here if I was hungry. So when I was walking around the plaza this place is in, I saw that they had a lunch special and I thought it was a deal. The lunch special is the Combo B where you get 2 entree, 2 side, egg rolls and a can soda. So when I walked inside, they were already kind of busy. When it was my turn, I asked for the chow Mein, kung Pao chicken and orange chicken for my combo. They were out of orange chicken so they asked if I mind waiting which I didnt and it didn't take long for them to bring out the new batch. I ate my food inside of this place, they have limited seating here so be aware. They give you like 2 chili sauce packets, 2 soy sauce packets, 1 sweet and sour sauce and 2 fortune cookies. If you want more sauces then they will charge you for it. The portion of food they give here is great, bigger than other popular places. I like the Chow Mein and Kung Pao chicken, the orange chicken is a different taste to me but it's not that bad. They were getting good business when I was here and everyone else was taking advantage of their lunch special too.

Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options

Parking: There many parking spots in the plaza this place is in.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible but it will be tight once you're inside because it's not that big.“

“The absolute best place for dim sum in the SCV 🥟“
