Chinese Restaurants near Benicia

“Our "go to" restaurant when we're in Benicia, food and service is always great. For Ash Wednesday, and Lent in general, we get the Walnut Prawns, Prawns with Mixed Vegetables, Tofu Chow Fun, and Fried Rice. We got some free tea while we waited for our Take Out order. For Lunar New Year gifts, we got some free extra fortune cookies, lucky candies, and Lucky Red Envelopes for our grandkids! Thank you Cindy.Parking: There's always free parking in the street nearby. If there is an event and street parking is full, there is also a large free public parking lot one block behind the restaurant. There is also a 15 minute zone in front of the restaurant for picking up Take Out Order.“

“I come to this Panda Express My favorite is the Sesame Chicken I also like the green beans and pepper( it is sweet much like the orange chicken but it doesn't have that strong flavor that kinda makes you stop breathing for second-lol I know everyone or pretty much everyone I know has had this happen. Don't get me wrong it is a fan favorite and if sesame chicken wasn't available it would be my go to dishI wish they would keep the beyond chicken Also miss when the first had sweet n sour pork“

“The tastiest noodle soup I have ever had. I love ramen, pho, Thai soups and this place is the best. I can’t wait to go back. I’ll definitely be a regular. I got a front row seat, watching the chefs pull the noodles, while I ate my delicious spicy wontons and beef bone broth soup. There are 5 noodle sizes to choose from, to customize your soup, from angel hair to wide. Delicious.“

“Excellent house-made noodles!“

“Xia long baos aka XLBs aka soup dumplings are perfection! Noodles tasted fresh. The flavors are authentic schichuan style so if you order a spicy dish expect to have that numb, tingly feeling in your mouth bc they use that kind of pepper. Come for the food not the service. This is a no frills place. You scan the menu, you place your order online, and someone brings it to you.“

“Got takeout. Food was so so good. After Sunflower Garden self-detonated with new owners we were depressed we couldn’t find amazing Chinese food in MTZ. Thank you Aberdeen. Will absolutely be ordering again. King Pow Chicken should have been a lot spicier though.“

“Been going here for 20 years. Never a bad meal!“

“Went there today for the first time for takeout and everything was so delicious and fresh. I've been looking for a new place since my place closed down during covid and I have tried 3 other places and the food was not good at all . I will gladly drive over the bridge from Benicia for this place. I ordered broccoli and chicken tons of chicken and the broccoli was perfectly cooked not all mushy, chow mein and sizzling rice soup which was the best I've had in a long time. Can you tell I'm happy I found this place? Lol“

“The name is 3 star ⭐️ but it’s definitely a 5 star especially when it comes to the food , very fresh made with care. Service and staff are nice and attentive, and the restaurant is very clean. To start I have the hot tea ,then garlic chicken, I prefer it crispy crunchy, or fried hard, chicken and shrimp noodle, and my fav green spicy green bean.“

“So glad they opened one out here in Vallejo to try out :) it is located in one of the busier plazas of Vallejo so traffic can be a bit of a concern around the parking lot. The inside is super small, the biggest table only has 4 seats, could possibly seat five. There isn't a lot of room inside really and it does get busy but not impossible to find a table to dine in! I would suggest possibly calling or checking in with a slight waiting time expectation! Otherwise, you could probably grab the food to go and eat outside or at a park nearby. Warm and busy vibes inside, perfect for an active lunch or dinner! The service was decent, food came out fast. The tables weren't really cleaned up too well so we had to wipe it down a little bit, and the staff usually is more casual so they probably will drop the food and leave you to your meal. I think the food always tastes pretty good across the multiple locations nearby. Personally my favorites include the soup dumplings and the molten lava buns! Their other common order foods are still really yummy though! Otherwise, would drop by if you're looking for good shareable food!“

“Excellent service and the food was delicious.“

“This is great place to enjoy a very good lunch special. I have only been here for lunch, so this review is based on my experiences during lunch time. Food: 5/5 Every time I have been here the food has been excellent. The portions are huge, everything is hot and fresh tasting, the sauces are great and I love the flavor and spice of the hot and sour soup. During the lunch special, it includes a good amount of food for a very reasonable price. I usually get the Kung Pao Chicken. It includes one entreé, rice (white or fried is included, or brown for $2 extra) 2 wonton chip, as well as hot and sour soup or wonton soup. The chicken is always very good and the veggies are always perfectly cooked. All that food for only 12 dollars! Service: 5/5 Every time we have been here we are seated quickly. In fact everything is very fast. Our food came out about 5 minutes after ordering and our server was ready to take our order within 2-5 minutes of sitting down. (But, they don't rush you. You have as much time as you need to look at the menu.) Ambiance/Space: 4/5 The ambiance is good, it's not anything extremely special, but it's comfortable. The restaurant is actually a pretty good size as well. They have 2 dining room areas, one of which has a bar (The room with the bar is usually closed during lunch). They also have a couple small tables on a small patio outside for nice days. Parking: 4/5 There is ample parking right in front of the restaurant. The only reason it is 4/5 is because this is a city parking lot and you have to pay to get a parking permit. Although it is very cheap. We paid like $1.50 for almost 2.5 hours! I'm sure it's very good for dinner as well. This is definitely a great little gem if you're wanting to explore the antique shops and the surrounding area in the nice little downtown of Martinez. After we eat here we usually like to check out the antique shop called Antique Corner right across the street. I will posting a review about them as well.“

“The food and service were good. However, we were greatly disappointed that the waiter didn't bring us our change and let us decide how much of a tip to leave. More and more restaurants are just assuming you don't want change. So it is best to have a bunch of small bills with you or use your credit card.“

“Fast Chinese food. Big plate, great value. Food is usually pretty decent but look before you choose. If it looks like it's been the all day maybe it has. There are always fresh options and they churn out the popular dishes all day long. That's your best choice. Egg rolls are HUGE, eat them hot.“

“I feel like this review is going to be unfair, because last time we had an out of this world experience. First visit. The restaurant was completely empty. An older gentleman suggested an amazing slow braised meat in curry. It was so tender and tasteful beyond description. We waited a while for that dish. Others in my party praised the food as amazing as well. Second visit. We tried to get that meat braised in curry and received a beef version of curry chicken. Now it wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. The food us still pretty good, but after that first visit, it's really hard to compare anything to the flavors we tasted. So, I am going to still give it a 4 stars eventhough I feel that there has definitely been a change in taste and flavor.“

“My review is based on a to go order only. First of all, I have lived in Hercules for 13 years and am embarrassed to say I had never eaten at this restaurant! I really don't know why... anyway so yesterday m daughter and I wanted a late lunch, we saw that this restaurant closes between 3pm and 4pm. It was 2:50pm but we thought we would take a chance and am so happy we did! We were greet immediately and the staff gave us no indication that they were about to close. They were very nice and accommodating. There were at least 3 other groups of people still dining at that time. Our orders were ready in record time. I had the Egg plant fried tofu and green bean dish which was very very good! Along with a small hot and sour soup, no pics to share, but I was very happy with my food and will be back soon!“

“Went out for lunch with 3/10/24 Sichuan is located in a quiet area. Outside, no wannabe macho men making vehicular racket. Inside, no misbehaving parents training their children to be noisy neighbors. My not so clean daughter had Some Nerve to complain about smudge in her teacup. The waiter explained that "the cups are clay and the tea stain is impossible to remove". I'm thinking of calling it tea patina maybe? The service and presentation was Fine, Almost Everything tasted delicious. That interesting Szechuan spice yummy umm. Moist pork shoulder with crunchy and chewy skin oh yes.. Lip numbing tofu squares pressing sweetly on my tongue! Save me! Take me back for more! Ok I'm getting carried away but it was a very good meal and worth 60 miles on the odometer. Almost all the dishes were perfect. The only complaints? The potsticker wrapper was a bit chewy. Also the Walnut Prawns were conspicuously short on walnuts and one son wanted more sweet sauce on them. I found them refreshingly not too sweet. Check out the pics. And visit my new gem in Pleasant Hill.“

“So I tried going to a restaurant with a hotpot called shabuya WORST place ever I couldn't get a seat the process to get seated is ridiculous. So bam I google HOTPOT restaurant and boom steamboat I call the young lady is so sweet she says No reservations needed I get there it's my first time me and my family party of 6 they explained the process and they had all the sauces and paste to go with the food unlike shabuya per my daughter no seasoning what so ever.. so boom we're eating it's nice and family friendly this is a tea good authentic place and the staff is so respectful sweet and helpful I don't usually tip but man I gave them a 20$ tip and went back 3 days later just myself and husband and 2 daughters just to make sure in the kids of the day and again service was impeccable.. my new fav spot.. good food good ambience..“

“We were seated very fast! Was very busy at lunchtime. I think we only waited 10 minutes. Very friendly and accommodating wait staff as well. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I love dim sum and they didn't disappoint! The ambience was fine. I like that they are family friendly. Lots of children and elderly people enjoying the experience. I'll be going back!“

“Very lovely owners who cook and clean themselves and make DELICIOUS food. Please, if you're looking for a nice change of pace, come try this restaurant out. Such friendly staff ( all family) and very quiet, nicely lit atmosphere. Quick to come out with food and very gentle attitudes toward customers. Will definitely be coming back here again.“

“BEST CHINESE IN THE EAST BAY HANDS DOWN !! There's a reason they've been around for 30+ years ! Never once been disappointed and our family's been going here for decades. The owners & waiters are an absolute delight as well and are always so fun to speak with. Genuinely cannot recommend this place enough, their lunch specials are such a good deal so if you want to try here and leave stuffed for under $15 swing by! The ginger scallion beef is stupid fire and their kung Pao is the best I've had. Hope they continue to be in business for another 30 years :) love you guys !“

“Grabbed food to go during the holidays for family that was visiting, and everyone loved it! The pot stickers are huge and delish,lemon chicken good, chow main was excellent, a spicy beef dish, broccoli stir fry, etc. everything tasted really good, and leftovers the next day were even better“

“Very tasty food and huge portions. And Ruby is very nice and patient with customers who can't make up their mind.“

“Staff is very friendly when you arrive and find you a booth or table convenient for you and your party. They have plenty of different options for food entrees and desserts. They have a great sushi bar and those are delicious plus made regularly. Good place for families or a quick bite. Does get busy there but don't worry if someone grabs the last egg roll or your favorite food they are good at refilling it back up so it's a good experience for everyone.“

“it has a good selection of different types of rice rolls and congee. The rice noodle was very light and smooth. The pork in ours was very tender and it came with lettuce in it which was different from other places. The congee was very smooth and had lots of meat in it. All the food came out very hot.“

“This is our go-to Chinese restaurant in Pleasant Hill - we've only done dine-in and service is fast and friendly, while the food is always delicious. I'm a big fan of their salt and pepper options, as well as their kung pao chicken. Their crispy glazed chicken is tasty too. Great lunch specials too - you get your entree and rice, along with a cup of soup and your choice of salad or spring roll.“

“This is my go to spot for dim sum and Chinese food in town. We love the BBQ pork buns, salt and pepper fish, the roasted duck, and chow mein.The restaurant is located in an old bank in downtown Pinole. The room is large with plenty of seating inside, and plenty of parking outside.It can get loud when they are busy, and dim sum is always a full room.“

“Happy wok is amazing. Been coming here since I was young. (Side note) I recommend the “Drums of heaven”. Besides that. They’re a small family business owned restaurant. They’re always on time and made top quality Chinese food. Check them out, folks. No cap.“

“Kung Fu Kitchen in Walnut Creek exceeded my expectations with their exceptional service and genuine hospitality. Despite arriving near closing time, the staff warmly accommodated us and took our order with a friendly attitude. They even offered to let us pay next time when we realized we didn't have cash. The flavors and quality of the food were outstanding, showcasing their attention to detail and authentic taste. The cozy ambiance and tasteful decor added to the overall welcoming atmosphere. Kung Fu Kitchen is a hidden gem that deserves recognition for their remarkable service, delicious cuisine, and unforgettable dining experience.“

“I have been coming here for as long as i can remember (and I think my family has been going for even longer! The staff knows us all by now Yolanda and Perry are the best!). The staff here is incredible and will always ensure you enjoy your meal. The prices have had to go up since covid and inflation but that doesn't stop my family from coming in every now and then to enjoy a meal together here. Nothing here ever disappoints us.“

“We Ordered take out from here. We like the egg rolls and peking spare ribs. We like the option of combination plates to try different dishes for a reasonable price. 1,2or 3 dishes to try . Sweet and sour pork and string bean chicken and lo mein was a good choice. The lo mein noodles are really good different from most other restaurants! Thicker and el dente! Full of flavor! Love that it has delivery from Pinole!“

“Food is good . Customer service can be better. Like that they give a lot of food . I share 1 of the 3 item with my mom . Cause it’s a lot . So I say it’s good ..Vegetarian options: Un there’s some choices for vegetarians.Parking: It’s a shopping center . So there’s plenty of parking around.“

“I walked in to order and they GIVE PRIORITY TO PHONE ORDERS! I ordered pot stickers, chow mein and fried wonton...it's been 45 minutes!!! wtf!? on top of it they didn't give me any utensils“
