50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Whittier

“The food is amazing, but staff can be rude at times. I went here to eat while carrying some grocery bags and they were very judgemental. Nothing rude was said, but staff gave judgemental looks and clearly wanted me out of there as quickly as possible. This did mean I got my food and check quicker than any restaurant I've been too before. I don't know if it's some sort of taboo to bring groceries into a restaurant, but it was only a couple bags and I don't have a car so I couldn't put them anywhere.“

“I love this place. Great portions and great taste. I love the fact that they always have fresh food. They will ask if you want fresh food. Do not underestimate the drinks. They are delicious and at a great price. Love love this place. Best Chinese food around the area. Hands down.

And they have this fried chicken bites that is 😘chefs kiss. Ask for taste. They will let you sample the food.“

The food though I gotta say is not that bad. Definitely better than any other Chinese food spot near by.“

“I am really impressed with this visit for this location! Customer service above and beyond! Everyone greeted the customers, although we had to wait for teriyaki chicken, when it was ready they brought it to us! The team that was there tonight definitely worked as a team to get the lone down as quick as possible. The food was so fresh and so flavorful. They didnt skimp out on servings like some pandas do. Some pandas are hit or miss and this is Def a hit here. I will Def be back to support this location. Keep up the great service and quality of food here!“

“Walked in today and bought a teriyaki bowl half and half and the food was so bomb everything was made perfectly it’s been a while since I had good panda and today was ? the cook and the kitchen help in charge of the rice and noodles followed recipes to the T
Thank you very very good today 10/23“

“Compared to a few years ago, a few of the menu classics from Kawasanja are still there!And then the surprise is that there are a lot of new dishes too!“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“The best Vietnamese Style Lobster and seafood! Always a long queue to be seated. Get here early for best parking and best seating.“

“Great Dim Sum spot for classic dim sum food and not too long on wait for a table.“

“Absolutely authentic Guizhou cuisine and well worth making a special trip for.
While we were eating, a salesperson happened to come in trying to sell the restaurant pre-made seasoning packets. The owner firmly turned them down and explained that they ferment and make their own seasonings in-house. That little moment said everything about how seriously they take their food—and you can really taste the difference.
The flavors are bold, complex, and genuinely Guizhou: sour, spicy, aromatic, and incredibly well balanced. Honestly, even in Shanghai, it’s not always easy to find Guizhou food this authentic.
The lady who took care of us was also incredibly warm, gentle, and attentive throughout the meal.
If you love Guizhou cuisine—or simply want to experience what authentic Guizhou food should taste like—Hengry is absolutely worth planning your itinerary around. I would definitely come back.“

“My Chinese buddies took me out to eat here and it was spectacular. Every dish was amazing, from the vegetable dishes to the dumplings to the side dishes. I don't frequently go out toward the Rosemead or San Gabriel Valley area, but starting to think I should. The interior is clean and very modern. They're also known for their special tea drinks, which was also delicious. My wife really enjoyed their smashed lemon tea drink. Service was very fast with no frills whatsoever. They really do mean business here, and in a good way! I heard that this place can get quite packed on the weekends, but we went on a week night with minimal wait times. Would recommend this place highly if you're in town and just want something solid at a very good price.“

“We had a wonderful family birthday dinner at Duck House! The 3-course Beijing duck was absolutely fantastic, and the combination fried rice and crab soup were delicious too.

Thanks to Catherine and the friendly, attentive staff. The inside dining area had such a warm and cozy atmosphere, which made our celebration even more special.

Highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time for ordering Beijing Duck. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This was actually my first time finding out that Haidilao has an all-you-can-eat option! We tried the $32.99 per person package, and the beef and lamb were both right up my alley—nicely marbled, with slices that were just the right thickness. Even though it’s a buffet, the portions definitely didn’t feel skimpy. I’m also a big fan of quail eggs and egg dumplings when I have hot pot, so with those added in, I was already more than satisfied.

It’s also a pretty stress-free option when dining with kids. The service was, as always, thoughtful and attentive. They prepared a kids’ meal, a magic wand, and a little balloon for my daughter . When I handed my phone to my kid to watch something, the server even brought over a phone stand without me asking.“

“Authentic, delicious flavors. Good portion size. If you want the spice. They have it and delivery it amazingly. Service was fast, and incredible. A heads up, it is a smaller establishment and it will get filled up quickly during dinner. There is parking in the front, though it is limited.“

“This place has everything you're looking for it's extremely hospitable, the owners of the ones making and serving the food and their heart and their incredible generosity come through in their food and their service. The prices are super fair and the food is so fresh and tasty. Do not be off put . By the way the place looks in the shopping center. This is one of those gem places that you've been looking for the spring rolls were amazing crispy lots of veggies inside all the veggies and meats were fresh but what really makes this place shine is Joanna and her family they truly get joy out of you having a good meal here“

“The best Chinese food I had in a long long time. We have been with six, sharing different dishes - a blast. Share the soup! Highly recommended.Thanks for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who has traveled the world with the world's greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, and Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "Where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say, and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked at how people use their "power of the word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all-time favorite​ restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French​ place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers​ boxed to take home? As a dog owner,​ I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "You give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea...​ I hope you agree.So If I had a say on this portal, I would offer just to see the ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this does not correspond to "The Ritz". At first,​ I assume that a restaurant is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceed my expectations. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again. Thank you for reading this.“

“I recently visited Happy Valley Village and I was blown away by the authentic flavors and fresh ingredients in their iron-stew pot dishes! The portions are generous, and the cozy atmosphere made it feel like a perfect family-friendly spot. Plus, the staff was super friendly and accommodating, even with my allergies. With great service and prices, it's definitely a place I'll be coming back to!“

“If you enjoy Asian food: sushi, ramen, and Chinese food, this place will never disappoint you. Bring your friends and family here!“

“Alejandra was my waitress Omg everything on time made suggestive items on the items beautiful popping personality great smile she has excellent skills on public relations and pretty smile. very helpful in my time i dined in the restaurant! Great job keeping being an example to your peers!!“

“I’m back at this xiao long bao spot in Baldwin Park again! The restaurant has that super down-to-earth, old-school Chinese restaurant feel that instantly feels familiar. The main point is — they’ve been making xiao long bao in LA for years, and everything is still handmade by the aunties, not pre-made. If you want a giant crab roe soup dumpling, this is the place I think of!

The giant crab roe soup dumpling comes out steaming hot and is seriously huge — it almost fills the whole steamer 🤣. I like to slowly sip the soup through a straw first, then open it up and eat the rest. The crab roe flavor is rich and fragrant, and it’s so satisfying while it’s still hot. Even editing the video made me crave it again!

We also ordered crab roe xiao long bao and sweet-style pork xiao long bao. The wrappers are thin and there’s plenty of soup inside. The slightly sweet pork filling feels very Jiangnan-style, and I personally really like that little touch of sweetness.

The Wuxi-style pork ribs looked so appetizing too — tender meat with a sweet, savory sauce that goes perfectly with rice. The Liangxi crispy eel was another specialty I really liked. It’s crispy, fragrant, and super snackable — not something you see at every restaurant.

For something warm and comforting, we also had a bowl of five-spice beef rice noodles, with your choice of spicy or non-spicy, plus a plate of garlic pea shoots to round out the meal.

I also noticed they have these cute little training chopsticks 🥢, which are perfect for kids or anyone who’s still learning how to use chopsticks. Such a thoughtful touch haha.

Whenever I suddenly crave crab roe in LA, this is honestly one of the first places that comes to mind 🥹“

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味“

“The food is well seasoned, but the skewers are cold on our table. We are disappointed, because the barbecue it’s hot taste is different. After that, my husband and I ordered two skewers of Australian mutton kebabs. These two skewers were hot when they were comed. Was it because of the cheap price that we ate cold skewers?“

“I always enjoy coming to Chef Chen, but the bean curd is definitely one of my favorites. It’s always fresh, full of flavor, and cooked just right. You can really taste the care that goes into the food. Every time I order it, it hits the spot. If you haven’t tried the bean curd yet, I definitely recommend it! Good Vegetarian dish“

“Food is delicious! If you like spicy can try it. If not, you can order one for non-spicy. Many different choices!“

“Great food and new location!“

“Great selection! Very clean, tasted really good. So happy they are close by!“

“I really love Panda Inn in La Palma, California for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🥡🥢“

“We had a really enjoyable dining experience at Bao.Z and were impressed with the meal overall. The dumplings were one of the highlights of our meal. One thing that stood out during the meal was that everything felt thoughtfully seasoned and well prepared. Amazing service and great food There are plenty of other dishes we would like to try, so we are looking forward to another visit.“

“Such a cute hidden gem in Walnut! We came for their famous Hainan chicken rice and potato noodles, and both were so good. The Hainan chicken was super tender and juicy, and the chicken rice was fragrant without being too heavy. I loved having both the ginger scallion sauce and chili sauce on the side too.

The potato noodles were probably my favorite! They are really chewy, comforting, and packed with flavor. We also ordered a bunch of their fried skewers, which were crispy, well-seasoned, and perfect for sharing.

Portions were generous, prices were reasonable.“

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour“

“the restaurant is super clean. If you show up thinking you're going to order Orange chicken, Broccoli beef, kung pao chicken or any of that chinese fast food then this is not the place for you. BUT if you're looking for some delicious mouth watering dumplings cooked in various forms then you're at the CORRECT place. I brought my mom here and we tried the pork chive regular dumplings, the pan fried beef and cumin dumplings and the regular fried rice. All of it was delicious. Also they give you a complimentary bowl of egg drop corn soup. NOT a small bowl but a good size portion, it was GOOOOOD. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family and I want to try the beef noodle soup. DON'T fall asleep on the fried rice.“

“The service was COMPLETELY unacceptable. An employee was rude, speaking in a language I can’t recognize and started yelling at me simply because I didn't understand what she was trying to say. Why get angry and keep screaming when customers don't understand? This business is located in LA—if an obvious communication barrier happens, staff should try to bridge it instead of continuing to yell in the same language at a confused customer. I can't believe I was treated this way. Do we now need to learn EVERY LANGUAGE ON EARTH just to get basic service?“

“I've been here a few times over the last couple of months, and it's been consistently great. It gets busy - come early during weekend!“

“As a table of six we ordered family style. Tasting a little of a variety of dishes is my favorite way to eat and everything was delicious! Servings are generous so it's best to share with friends, but they'll box anything you can't finish to take home for later. I also bought some of their scrumptious baklava to take home and enjoy later.“

“I have been to a lot of places with similar food as this location. I was taking my mom out to eat and it was our first time there. The lady who was the server was very friendly when I told her my mom was looking for wonton soup and she said that they did have some. It was delicious and very fresh. I got a plate with chow mein and 2 items of choice which were good in portion size. Hands down one of the best orange chicken I have had. I also had bbq pork which was also good. The thing that blew my mind from taste was there smoked porked ribs and their squash with green beans. The ribs were amazing almost like if they specialize in BBQ. Location was clean. I will definitely be returning.“

“Really enjoyed the Shunde-style hot pot here! The broth was flavorful but not too oily, and all the ingredients tasted very fresh. The fish was especially good. Service was nice and the restaurant had a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely worth trying if you like Cantonese-style hot pot.“

“I tried this place years ago and didn't like it. I tried it again a while back and it's now one of my favorite places to eat. I love their low mein and sweet and sour (this is better than orange chicken... trust). Their bbq pork is really good too.“

“Jin Hai / Beijing Pie House has gotten better over the years. The lamb and leeek meat pies arrived nice and crispy with ample soup inside. The lamb flavor was subtle and clean with a satisfying smattering of yellow leek.

The three ingredient dumplings (leek, pork, shrimp) were supple and balanced. The thick looking wrappers were deceptively supple with a bit of bite and flavor of the fillings sang a song of freshness.

Glad we came back and will put this back in our rotation.“

“Xiao Long Bao - so delicious compare to Dai Tai Fung“

“I googled "best Chinese in LA" and then this popped up as the #1 place. So we drove - and had a very good meal. However, if you expect the classic Chinese dishes, you will be disappointed. This is Shezuan, "a different animal". So no rice, no sweet-and-sour-this-and-that. So be prepared for very spicy Szechuan food. Noodles. No rice. Try the dumplings, they were delicious. We ordered mild (1 out of 5 spice degrees) and we were burning inside (we had two separate orders of dumplings - but spice grade 1. There is no consistency, so be careful). So if spicy is what you are "in" for, you'll love it. The ambiance is sort of authentic ;-) - the sign on how to use the toilet (outside the restaurant in the alley) says more than words. But then, it was $100 all-in for the four of us only. My advice: I could barely understand the service language. Better check the menu before you go. As we were first-timers, I wanted to share three starters and three mains among the four of us and leave it up to the waitress to make us explore - she did not understand. I asked if they served beer. The answer was "noodles or dumplings". :-)“

“Gave me hope to dine again.
Came for lunch special, walked out with enough for two people. Salt and pepper pork chop was all things right, generous, fresh out the kitchen, a blend of garlic, peppers, onions, and a side of chili oil to top off. Stone cold stunner“

“Food was delicious, and service was great and friendly. Ordered scallion pancake, short ribs and soup dumplings it was plenty of food.“

“We ordered the sauerkraut fish and the portion size was huge. It was more than enough for two people, and we still had a lot of leftovers to take home. The flavor was really good--savory, tangy, and comforting without being overwhelming.

We also tried the quail eggs, which were battered and fried. They were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and honestly super tasty. Perfect little bite-sized snacks.

Overall, great portions, solid flavors, and definitely worth it if you're hungry or want leftovers for later. Would come back again!“

“Wonton soup with the bread is perfect for this chilly morning.“

“Hiding spot is next door to Smart & Final, in front of Jiffy lube.
First time, we 3 specials with 2 drinks. Food is delicious, very tasty, great portions!
Drinks: Mango green tea and Thai tea
Mango taste like an agua fresca, very refreshing.
Thai tea can never go wrong.
Will be coming back. Thank you for the great friendly service“

“Defacto Peking (Beijing) Duck restaurant. Large selection of different dishes from different regions of China (including Sichuan dishes). Decent beer and wine selection.

For large party, 6 or more, the set meals are a good deal with wide selection of dishes.“
