50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Hawaiian Gardens

“Ordered the chowmein, and it was fire. Good flavor, noodles were not soggy yummy all around. We also got the beef broccoli, and it was very tasty and well seasoned. Love how the broccoli kept its crunch and not overly soft. Would definitely recommend place based on those 2 dishes alone since it's simple. Can't wait to go back and try other stuff on the menu.“

“It was love at first bite, went to try this spot cuz the other spot closed down. Ordered Chow Mein with Veggies, Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Broccoli Beef, Walnut Shrimp, and some fried rice. Everything was so bomb, each food had its own flavor yet could feel it's fresh. Place kinda threw me off with how empty it was but people bought their food to go. Would come back here to recommend family and friends.“

“This restaurant is a gem! Super friendly and helpful service and great choices. We enjoyed catching up with our family while sharing a large room with others surrounded by tasteful decorations. If there were 6 stars, I would have given them!“

“Went here upon reading the reviews. It's not bad, but I was craving more flavor from the dishes. Perhaps I'm used to MSG in my Chinese food and am okay with it.I ordered the salt and pepper pork chops, shrimp with black bean sauce, Mongolian beef, and house fried rice.Overall, not bad, but I am used to stronger flavors.“

“My family visited this restaurant over vacation and had our best meal of the trip here. We met the owner, Nancy, who was so incredibly sweet, was helpful in explaining menu items-- even pointing out that we had ordered two soups and perhaps to take one item off unless we felt we needed more soup after. My boyfriend also really enjoys learning new languages and she gladly taught him mandarin words during dinner :).“

“my bf love spicy beef noodles, we went to a few places already but this place tasted the best so far. the texture of the noodles were good and the flavor of the broth wasn't too overwhelming. the golden chicken noodle soup was also very good and light. we got chili oil dumplings and those were amazing.“

“Matt & the team at Paracel Seafood went above and beyond to ensure my celebration was everything I hoped it would be. From the tasting, decor, food to music, everything exceeded my expectations. I received the highest level of feedback from my guests regarding the food (lobster noodles and crab soup was delicious) and the drinks (specialty cocktails). Matt's incredible MC and DJ's skills also did not go unnoticed. Several guests noted his positive energy and warm personality really added to the event. I can't imagine him not being part of our event. I would look no further and book your next event at Paracel Seafood. Thank you again so much for everything!“

“Great dining experience. The interior is large, and clean. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Plenty of menu selection varying from typical Chinese menu offerings; veggies, seafood, chicken, beef, etc. Menu is very easy to read. Excellent spot for Chinese/Korean dine-in experience. Definitely recommend!“

“So first of all the pork chops are a must soft tender but well crusted and well seasoned outside with jalapeño and garlic just yummy. Another favorite is the mangolian beef cooked to perfection the goes perfect with white rice . I've dined in and the service is ok what i really liked is that all food comes out together and the restaurant feels warm inviting and very family like.“

“Ordered the non-spicy beef noodle soup (hand-cut) and added my own level of heat. Nice broth. Wish I had seen their cold drinks lineup before getting my green tea order from the bakery. Will try their milk green tea next time along with some other dishes (lamb, cold noodles).Nice sitting area shared with the hot deli. Reasonable prices and solid portions. The lady that took my order is nice & served the food to my table. Unexpected and much appreciated!“

“Came here got free egg rolls. great portions of food. Have very but very nice employees. But wait time is not the best but very good. I recommend coming here.Parking: Around 10 or more if not 7Kid-friendliness: I brought my kid with me and gave me kid extra food if he was still hungry“

“It's difficult to find good vegan and gluten food so when there are options, I'm curious to taste and see if it is any good. I had the beef brócoli substitute the beef for ham and it was good, I enjoyed it. My husband had the shaking beef and he liked it too, he wished it had more of the marinade/sauce. Great customer service!“

“Let me first start off by saying I was quite hesitant about trying this location because of the area. Not that it's a bad area, it's just that it's not a typical area you would go for dumplings. But, my curiosity got the best out of me. I walked in and it's a small location, clean, staff is friendly. She asked if I been there before I said no, and she proceeded to talk to me about the menu which I appreciate it. I end up ordering beef dumpling combo. Found out all noodles are made there which makes it way better. The flavors of the dumpling are very flavorful. I have been to several restaurants that the dumplings are decent, but have not much flavor. But, this one is loads of flavor. I can't wait to go back and try more!“

“Honey walnut shrimp delicious, hot and freshly fried veggie egg roll yummy, half and half fried rice and noodles on point- all were very good. The portions were generous on the rice and noodles. Friendly and prompt Small space with a few tables to sit and eat. Weather was nice outside, so sat on patio.“

“That place was good and food is best. Customers service is best. I wish most place followed their way. The manager only control and seat people take money. He tell the other worker take the order in side. Some place the manger is worker, sometimes he is chief. This place they know their role.“

“It's always the places tucked away in a corner that are the best. You would never see this place from the main road unless you go into the business park. I've only been once and tried the orange peel chicken with fried rice. They forgot my fried rice and gave me white rice but I live near by and they were quick to fix it when I came back. The quality and taste of the food keeps this a 5 star. The chicken didn't taste cheap or full of salt and didn't upset my stomach after like other places. I would surely come back!“

“I have been going here for as long as I remember. Korean style Chinese food usually doesn’t taste the same in the US compared to Korea, but this place tastes the same or even better. Our family enjoys the classic dishes which include Jjajangmyeon, Jjampong, and Tangsuyuk. I highly recommend eating here. You will not regret it.“

“We came to celebrate my son's birthday and our server Marvin was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, friendly and all around a great guy. His attention to anticipation our needs every moment of our dinner - Thank you Marvin for making this celebration very enjoyable“

“Our server was very nice and friendly. Great customer service. We ordered the shrimp with pepper and garlic, shrimp fried rice, egg drop soup, and the Chinese broccoli sautéed in garlic. They were all excellent and were more than enough for the two of us. The place was clean and well organized. The price was commensurate for the portions.“

“Came here to celebrate the birthday of my mom’s friend. The staff were nice, the place was cozy, and the food was delicious! I personally really enjoyed the honey walnut shrimp, lemon chicken, and Lo-mein! Definitely recommend to come try out the food!“

“I love everything about this business. A small crowded space of a restaurant but the food is top notch. I usually will get my food taken out especially on the weekends since there's usually a line to get a seat. The ambiance is typical Chinese 70- 80 style inside but the menu is excellent and extensive. If they don't have your dish on the menu just tell them what you want and they'll probably prepare it for you. These days all restaurant prices are going up and here is no exception. I like the typical dishes, Kung Pao Chicken, broccoli beef and I love vegetables so any of the three meat Chop Suey (chicken,beef,shrimp). I also like their popcorn shrimp and their egg foo young. Give this Whittier institution a try. You won't be disappointed!“

“Pick-up stix is always considered as a repeat meal for me and the family.My favorite location is lakewood off candlewood. THE food is made delicious AND has a great tasting & satisfying meal at a reasonable price. They have an app that accumulates points for discounts or freebies. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND #CUSTARD310 “

“I love this place! Great priced chinese food and they give you so much! The boxes are loaded up heavy and you will be satisfied! Tried 'egg foo young' for the first time & it was so yummy! Comes with a side of hot gravy and yum! It's vegetarian. Cant go wrong with choosing Lucky for cheap, filling, flavorful chinese food!“

“Americanized Chinese food. It’s honestly pretty good but of course rather expensive for the type of food you’re getting. I also don’t understand why they open up at 11 when they serve dim sum…dim sum is a breakfast food and should be served around breakfast time. So I wish they opened up earlier since this is the only decent soup dumpling place in Long Beach. Overall good place to eat. I take all my friends here“

“Amazing customer service! I made a mistake with my ordering. Totally my fault. But Eric and his manager was so understanding and accommodating. Even at a lost of revenue to them, they were willing and able to fix my problem. Thank you so much! I will be sure to visit if I'm ever in the area!“

“Always a friendly hello upon arrival. The Manager's Special is my Go to favorite. 2 entrees your choice, rice or noodles or I take half and half. Your choice soup hot and sour or egg roll and a can of soda or a. bottle of water.We are talking generous portions. $12 and change. It is easy to split between 2 people or save half for later.The food is delicious. I highly recommend this place for lunch.There is plenty of seating and the place is neat and clean.They open at 10:30 AM Monday to Saturday.If you are in the neighborhood of Cherry and Willow this place is a find. It is in a small strip mall between Starbucks and Black Bear Cafe.Parking: There is parking right in front but also lots of parking behind the Starbucks Food 4 Less adjacent lotWheelchair accessibility: I use a walker and I had a grocery bag hanging on the handle. The door was wide enough for me to enter with no problem.“

“I met my friend here for lunch as it is one of his go-to places for Tawainese/Chinese homestyle food. He ordered us a good amount of things to try - including the Three Cups Chicken, Stinky Tofu, pork spare ribs, Tawainese sausage and buns, and veggies. We had plenty to eat and everything was delicious. I don't think you can go wrong with the food here.“

“This review is for the KUNG PAO CHICKEN and the nice employee. I've lived in the area for over 40 years and... um NEVER been here before! Not exactly sure how long it's been here. There were two Chinese restaurants I frequent and one has gone a little down hill AND is further away from my house and the other closed, so it's time to check out a replacement. I ordered Kung Pao cuz it's one of my husband's favorites and since we don't eat much anymore, we only needed one entree to share. IT WAS DELICIOUS AND HONESTLY THE BEST KING PAO I'VE EVER HAD!! It had the right amount of seasoning and was NOT overly salty. Like some, I'm fine with MSG, so I don't notice it. Also at $17 for one entree, which included enough rice for both of us, we ended up with THREE servings! We both ate it for dinner and I had enough to eat it again for lunch! The kid who helped me was in an exceptionally good mood cuz he had just got his driver's license. LOL I'll be back to try another entree soon!“

“I’ve came here 4 times in a row and the food is consistent. The orange chicken is amazing especially because they give you big chunks of chicken unlike other Chinese restaurants where it’s more breading than chicken.If you are in a rush call ahead or else you’ll be waiting awhile. The kitchen makes as it is order. Good food takes time!“

“I usually avoid Americanized Chinese Foods counters like these because they're always greasy and all you can taste is oil but all the positive reviews got me curious. For this type of fare this is probably one of the best you'll ever have. Everything tasted great and was well seasoned. I was even impressed by the chow mein that you can choose to go with your bowl or combo plate. Delicious enough to eat on its own! When I do go to places like these I will 100% avoid the orange chicken, in fact there are only few Chinese restaurants that I will order it from. But the very sweet lady behind the counter insisted I sample it and I'm so glad she did. It was still delectably crispy and saucy at the same time. Most places don't get that right. I also had the pepper beef and was also blown away at the quality and how well they incorporate that nice peppery bite. Another thing most chinese places don't get right! On top of that the prices are sooo cheap and the portions are hefty. I gotta two item combo and couldn't even finish it so I had a nice snack for later. The lady there is super friendly and enthusiastic about the food. The place is clean and well kept. Awesome food at a great value!“

“My late father's favorite spot to eat, I cant help but miss his presence every single time we come here. Great food and great service pricing.reasonable everything made fresh and so tasty. The waiters are very attentive and make sure that you have a great time. Go try it out!“

“Upon walking in, you'll most likely get a whiff of the hot butter from the sizzling plates from diners. If they have their doors open, it's most likely due to the dining room being smokey from the plates. They offer a variety of meal options but I think they're mostly known for their sizzling plates and beef dishes.Our group had the com bo luc lac (shaken beef with rice), com suon cuu nuong sot bo toi (lamb chops with garlic butter sauce and rice), and com ribeye sot bo toi (ribeye with garlic butter sauce and rice). Even though we ordered all dishes with the red rice, there were other options to choose such as white rice, fries or bread. I'm not exactly sure what's in the red rice to even describe it. I wasn't a big fan of the red rice but to all their own.The lamb chops and ribeye were presented on a sizzling plate with a side salad with vinegarette dressing. Lamb chops were tender and ribeye lacked flavor. The star of the meal was the bo luc lac. It was also tender, shaken with plenty of sauce, and had chunks of garlic. It was absolutely delicious! The plate also had a side of watercress and onions that complimented the dish well. It was so good, our table had to order another. Portion-wise, I'd say it's a single serving. You may not want to share it with how delicious it is.Service was great, too. Now, I saw another reviewer mention this, so I will too. Just FYI, their drinks are served in small styrofoam cups. They do charge $0.50 for water. It's not a deal breaker but I guess some people may not like it. I'm assuming it's the charge for the cup itself.“

“Finally tried this new dumpling spot on second street. I had to call and check if they were safe for me due to my peanut allergy and luckily they were very accommodating and able to remove peanuts from any items that had the warning. I really appreciate them accommodating to the allergy since I have noticed a lot of places now don't want to take responsibility and just suggest you not eat there. I am so happy I got to try the food, as we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered and had leftovers since they were generous portions. Happy to have this new addition in Belmont shore!“

“Came here for dinner and this place satisfied my jjajangmyeon craving! Definitely one of the better places to eat jjajangmyeon from! Their tangsuyuk was solid and their stir fried jjajangmyeon was appetizing. However, it seemed like their jjajang sauce got too salty towards the bottom. It started to remind me of soy sauce rather than jjajang. But it can be a one time thing! Great relaxing place to eat for this kind of food and service was friendly!“

“Loved the food and atmosphere was really good. I think they serve chinese/korean food here. It was my first time visiting so we had some recommendations from sean ( our waiter) and ordered sweet and sour pork, spicy lamb kebob, beef kebob , and assorted vegetable with glass noodle. Our server came back frequently to check on our table. It was great experience overall. But only downside is that price is little bit too high. Other than that , food and service was excellent.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants, I've been going there for years.The food is just super, from the appetizers to the main dishes nothing has ever disappointed. When I walk through the door they know what I want to start off with and will occasionally recommend a new dish.“

“Never been to an All-You-Can-Eat Mongolian place before, but I'm glad I went because I wanted to do multiple rounds!I met the owner, Jeff, and he was a sweet guy giving me a personal breakdown of how it worked and where everything was. So for customer service and friendliness, that was a good start.And as someone who keeps ingredients very simple (ex: not too much sauce or too many different items at once), it still tasted great, and the multiple servings justified the price imo.It's a cozy interior where I think it's great to bring together a small party of possibly 4 - 6 without feeling cramped - which is great for me because any more people would make it hard to have a decent conversation without everyone.They also got ample free parking right in front so it's extremely convenient.Definitely will be back.“

“Food and service were excellent. We've been here many times and came again tonight for my daughter's birthday. I wish now I'd taken photos of the plates to share but we couldn't wait to eat. The owner/manager/waitress is Vivian and I recommend this restaurant, especially if you plan to dine in.“

“Absolutely blown away by the delicious flavors and lightning-fast service at this Asian fast food gem! From the moment I stepped in, the aroma of fresh ingredients tantalized my senses. Each bite of their dishes was an explosion of authentic Asian flavors, perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. The staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring my order was prepared promptly. With reasonable prices and generous portions, this place is an absolute winner in my book. Can't wait to come back for more!“

“I was in the area viewing apartments, so I decided to locate a new pho place. This place is spacious, pretty quiet so I enjoyed that. I ordered the steak and brisket pho, I have to start by saying this was the BEST brisket I’ve had in a pho. It was not fatty at all, and super tender but not dry!If you follow me on here, you know the type of pho I like. This one was clean and packed a little flavor. I wouldn’t say it’s the best I’ve had, but the brisket was unmatched. The noodles were fresh and intact too. — On the downside, I ordered the salt & pepper shrimp, but I didn’t like it. I ate one, and they still charged me for it. Not the best customer service I’d prefer, and they asked me about it. So I just thought they’d take care of me. Anyway, I’d go back for the pho if I’m in the area. Also, I want to try the fried rice based off the pics.“

“We got there during Busy Busy lunch time on Sat. We barely sat at the table at the entrance. I was not feeling comfy. The customers passed right our table at the door. No relax this time. We got the menu for special lunch. Small portion w less expensive. We ordered fried dumplings, chicken w lobster sauce, and chicken kungpao. The foods were delivered so fast even thou they had lots of Take out orders. I liked the fried dumplings, Juicy and crunchy. For the chicken kungpao, I give 3 stars, missing something. Spicy but not really flavorful. The chicken pieces are too small, I couldn't taste the chicken. We both liked chicken w lobster sauce, mild, so creamy, soft shrimps w lots of veggies. I give 4 stars. Overall, I was not relaxed due to the corner of the entrance. People and the staff bothered me. However, I want more fried Dumplings. Today's best was fried dumplings.“

“Great portions, taste, and service. Very affordable for what you get.Parking: Located in large shopping center with plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to maneuver a wheelchair inside. Most difficult thing would be opening the door but it is not particularly heavy.“

“Fantastic orange peel chicken, vegetable egg rolls, and mushu chicken! The curry was ok, but I'll try something different next time. Portion sizes are great. My one suggestion to the restaurant is that the mushu should include 4 wraps and not just 2. I definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“First visit with a friend who has been there multiple times and is one of her favorites. Ordered Walnut Shrimp, MaPo Tofu, Sautéed Eggplant, "A" Vegetable, Hot Chili Pepper Whole Fish. All dishes were delicious. My only disappointment was the amount of fish ratio to the price. Extensive menu and looking forward to returning to try other dishes.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this spacious Dim Sum restaurant. With its ample seating and numerous tables, it's perfect for gatherings of any size. Good variety of Dim Sum selections as well as regular menu options, each plate bursting with flavor and priced reasonably between $5 to $8. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast or lunch, the service is quick, allowing you to savor your meal without rushing. The parking lot in front of the restaurant is huge, it looked pretty busy all the time. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and would highly recommend it for a satisfying meal any time of day.“

“I was surprised to see a Sichuan restaurant in Garden Grove of all places. Heck, it might even be the only one in the city. Food was very good and the service was even better. The waiter/cashier definitely deserves a mention for how attentive he was. Overall, it's comparable to Rowland Heights/Irvine places.“

“The place has a very calming vibe to it upon entering. It's peaceful but not oddly quiet. We were waited on right away to take our drink order, which gave us time to decide on the dinner. General tasks for hubby. Very flavorful. I had the chowmein with crispy noodles. Again so flavorful! We'll be back for sure!“

“We've been going her since the 80's. Best Chinese food in town. Going to miss the place when they close all the business in that center for some new construction. I hope they re-open somewhere else. We love all the staff, food & simple ambiance ?“

“This place never fails to amaze us! We discovered this place after living in the area for about 2 years and have never gone to another Chinese food place since! The owners are amazing, professional and always so nice! They run a very nice business here and the food is absolutely delicious ?“

“I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a child. Kimtar was one of my Grandmother's favorite restaurants.The bbq pork alone is worth the trip. Throw in some duck and it's an amazing meal. And don't get me started on their orange chicken! Gosh, it's wonderful.When I'm craving good meat, Kimtar is my go to place!“
