50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Menlo Park

“This Place is so Good and Delicious!!! They have Chinese, Hawaiian and even Pho! Been coming here a lot!“

“First time here and it won't be my last. This restaurant had great service with delicious, wonderfully presented Asian dishes. Vast selection of menu items. Beautiful upstairs and downstairs dining room. Great for small or large parties. Bar seating with an extensive collection of wines and some beer.
A little pricey, but that goes without saying if you're located in Menlo Park /Palo Alto Bay Area.
Honestly, the food and service is worth the price though.“

“My husband and I decided to try this restaurant as it was close to our hotel, and neither one of us had ever had Uyghur food before. I can honestly say it was some of the most delicious food we've ever had. The flavors are incredible. Highly recommend this little gem with its absolutely wonderful food and lovely staff.“

“Chef Kwan’s is a true Bay Area gem and landmark! I grew up with it as Su Hong To-go but it’s retained most if not all of its menu through the rebrand. Accuracy of orders can be spotty (I.e. missing Chinese chicken salad dressing, dressing tasting off, providing chicken version of a dish instead of beef). But, staff are kind and they’ve figured out how to run everything quite efficiently.

Parking: Free street parking and municipal lot located next to Chef Kwan’s. Parking availability can be spotty depending on day/time and downtown traffic.“

“The soup dumplings rock! Love the orange chicken and Mongolian need as well“

“I had an amazing experience at this Mongolian restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel like family, offering friendly service with a smile. The food was outstanding; the grilled meats were tender and flavorful, complemented by fresh vegetables and savory sauces. I especially loved the build-your-own stir fry, where you pick your ingredients and watch them cooked right in front of you. The ambiance was cozy and warm, with Mongolian-inspired decor that added to the experience. A truly memorable meal!“

“The food is delicious. I have been coming to this spot since 2008. Same flavor I love it. My son loves the broccoli beef and teriyaki chicken. I just love the 5 flavor chicken, kung pao chicken, sesame chicken, and of course the egg rolls.“

“Great food, if you’re from Singapore and Malaysia and missing food from home, great place to eat at. Recommend the Hokkien Mee, Chicken Rice and oyster Omlette. Crazy good! 👍🏽“

“On a Tuesday night 7pm, there is still 15 minute wait. This place is popular. You order off a QR code and the system supports multi user ordering for the same table. The skewers are tasty. I wish the skewers are spicier so next time I will put in an extra request. You get a birthday gift bag if you show your ID on the day of your birthday!“

“Nothing too special - it’s authentic and tastes great but I wasn’t overly impressed and wouldn’t come out of my way to come here again.

I think my favorite was the beef pancake, it was stuffed with beef and the dough was fresh.“

“I truly appreciate the authenticity of Chinese cuisine, and the exceptional culinary skills showcased. The special tea duck, in particular, captivates my taste buds with its exquisite flavor. Each bite is a delightful experience, making it a standout dish for me.“

“Vegetable fried dumplings, soy sauce noodles, and green onion pancakes were all incredibly good. Staff was supremely helpful, kind, and personable. Highly recommend!“

“The picture says it all. 😋“

“Vast menu of vegan Chinese food. Sweet & sour pork had great sauce but meh fake meat, basil eggplant and tofu was excellent, scallion pancakes were crisp and tasty, pot stickers and spring rolls were good, and the vegetable fried rice was truly outstanding. Service was prompt and efficient. Atmosphere very informal with soothing soft music in the background. I’ll definitely go back again.“

“Have you ever had Fujian cuisine before? Now you can at Taste of Shaxian in San Mateo! All of the dishes were very simple, but surprised us with a lot of flavor! Whether you're a fan of dumplings or not, this place has good ones and a bunch of other must-try dishes all priced very reasonably. For 2 people, we ordered just enough to be comfortably full.

* Shaxian Wonton Soup
* Soup Dumplings Combo
* Spicy Cold Noodles (highly recommend!)
* Braised Chicken (bone in) Clay Pot w/ Rice (highly recommend!)“

“There is a chicken with saliva that is a bit weird, but the other side dishes and noodles are good, and the service attitude is also good. My good friend and I ate for less than 100, two noodles and four dishes, which was great. Support store“

“The choices of vegan ingredients for the dish are great and you will definitely find something you like - veggies, mushrooms, tofu or dumplings! You pay for the weight and therefore are able to create your own dish as you wish, considering the ingredients as well as the volume. There are three vegan soups available and a great variety of toppings that can be refilled as wished. Really nice concept and definitely a recommendation!“

“Food is wounderful and not that expensive… worth it….😃“

“First time visiting. Delighted to find a hand-pulled noodle soup place in DT MV.

Noodle portion is good. Would love the width of the flat noodles be half of its current size.

The on-the-house cabbage appetizer could serve w/o jalapeños as my mouth was burning even after I took them out & put the cabbage into my Chef’s Beef noodle soup.

Friendly staff. Glad to see fe/male restrooms.

Frozen dumplings made-to-go.

Will be back to taste other items!“

“The best Chinese food my daughter and I have had in a long time. She’s says it’s the best she’s EVER had, and she loves Chinese food. I recommend this place 💯“

“No extra fees or surcharges. Thank you Yan’s Garden for the honest, inclusive menu pricing and please stay fee-free.

We enjoyed the food. Lunch special is a decent deal with a filling portion size. We ordered the Tofu and Black Mushroom a la carte and it was huge, enough for two and a half meals. Salt and Pepper Eggplant appetizer size was also substantial, tasty but somewhat on the salty side.

Outdoor seating: There are a handful of four-top tables outside the storefront, shaded by an awning.“

“This family owned restaurant is a gem. Food is delicious, I highly recommend their handmade pork with Napa cabbage dumplings. They are so good that I buy the frozen ones to enjoy at home. While dining, I can always hear others coming in to purchase them too. Also try the soup dumplings! Authentic Chinese food with great service. The restaurant owner Allen makes you feel right at home.“

“Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. The food was overall very flavorful, and spicy! We got the cauliflower dry pot, Fuqi Feipian, Dan dan noodles, and a lamb skewer.

One thing we appreciated was that the dry pots were smaller than most other restaurants we have been too (also cheaper) so you're able to order more dishes in one sitting, instead of the dry pot being enough for two people. The Dan dan noodles were technically not on the menu, but the owner/employee let us order it still.

Overall, highly recommend, a great restaurant with reasonable prices.“

“I had the shrimp, cod and chicken fried rice. First time I had shrimp w heads on, and it was very good. My favorite was the cod with tofu. The chicken fried rice was a little burnt so after tasting it I was sad I wasn’t able to enjoy this one. Over all I was happy with the service and fresh food.

Vegetarian options: Tried the green beans. They were fresh.“

“The price is low, the food is tasty and the portion is large. We ordered a few and none is very spicy. The whole fish, black bass is very fresh and cooked with flavor. Smoked pork has strong smoke flavor. The husband-wife team is from Sichuan. The chef cooks slowly with care. Our cold beef mixture dish came out last after 40 minutes.“

“I came here with two friends and it was mostly empty at 7:10 pm on a Tuesday night!

Good:
- Food came out fast and it's as good as I remember!
- The egg tofu was so chewy and soft, and savory!
- The veggies here are tasty and healthy
- The fried rice was flavorful and well salted

Bad:
- It was hard to flag down a waiter
- Not a big fan of the salted egg yolk dish in the clay pot - just had a bit too strong of an aftertaste for me

Overall it's a casual place with good Asian food and predictable quality!“

“My girlfriend and I visited this restaurant on Thursday night, and it was a fantastic experience. During dinner, there were only about five tables occupied, making for a relaxed atmosphere. The decor is authentically Japanese, while the playlist had a chill vibe with American pop hits.

We ordered one sake and a few skewers, and I highly recommend trying the Beef Tongue—it’s incredibly tender and flavorful. The other BBQ skewers were also delicious.

Another highlight is the happy hour from 9:30pm to 11:30pm, where you can get buy-one-get-one-free beer.

Overall, I’d rate the food 5/5, drinks 4/5 (the sake was a bit strong for us), and the restaurant itself 5/5 for the ambiance and experience.“

“A lovely white tablecloth setting. Great service and delicious food. A lot like Wings in San Jose which is out of business now😭. So yes I love that we found King Chuan Restaurant 😍“

“We've been coming to Kirin since the 1990s when we first moved to the area and were introduced to the restaurant. The comfort food they have is familiar, like shrimp & eggs over rice, Congee, dim sum dishes, steamed fish.

Wheelchair accessibility: Single story building“

“look for the 3 item specials but also the cho chow mein, Mongolian beef and beef noodle soup are all really good. fast service and friendly.“

“When the food first came out, it was quick, warm and tasty! However, the next day I ate the leftover for dinner I am quite shock from the amounts of cooking oil. I know that good Chinese food doesn’t need a lot of cooking oil for it to taste good, so I am disappointed by that. I had to throw away the rest of eggplant dish because I am pregnant and isn’t good for me. Although the service and setting/environment was great. I might try again but I will request to limit on the oil. To me it’s more of a Chinese-American food, almost like Panda Express.
The 3 dishes plus 18% tips, appx $75.“

“I had lunch here for my 1st time. I will be back for many more lunches. Thank you folks very much and I’m looking forward to scarfing my left overs for dinner.“

“Very kind staff they are very patient and they go over menu they answer your questions and they recommend what’s popular for first timers and for kids ?? good food recommendations my son loved it his a very picky eater im impressed that he finished everything totally recommend this place“

“If you want delicious Chinese food from a place that’s been in business for decades, this is the place you go.

It’s not fancy and some of the employees aren’t super friendly but some are, and the prices are affordable and the food tasty.

You’ll be happy you came!“

“great food. good service“

“It is one of the best place to purchase to go Chinese food in Foster City. They always have eight different type of dishes to choose from. Most importantly they are price very reasonably and they always stuff as much as possible into the box.
The flavor of the dishes are your typical authentic American style Chinese food. If you're looking for gourmet Chinese dishes, this is not the place.“

“非常好吃，超愛煉乳銀絲卷“

“I feel cold little bit, so I needed GOOD CHICKEN SOUP to warm up. Their hotpot soup is made of chicken that has been cooked over 15-20 hours (based on their Manager). Best Soup ever!!

Moreover, the owner came to me personally and warmly asked about the service, as well as their upcoming holiday dish for Mid-Autumn Festival!! Highly Recommend to my friends and ppl here“

“One the best, higher-end Chinese restaurants in Palo Alto. They serve Chinese dishes from all over China, but impressively every dish tastes authentic and delicious. We had Peking duck and pork served with tissue paper thin crepes, cucumber slices and scallions (from China’s capital city), juicy pan fried pork buns and sweet and sour squirrel fish (from the east of China), spicy cabbage stir fry, pig intestines in spicy sauce and beef stir fry (from Sichuan and central China). They carved the duck in front of you and then used the duck carcass to make a very tasty tofu and Napa cabbage soup. The sweet mochi cake dessert was also some of the best I have had in the Bay Area. It’s a very popular restaurant and reservations are recommended. They have a couple of private dining rooms for large parties (at least 10 people). The prices on the higher end for Chinese food, but the taste and the quality of the food absolutely makes up for it.

Parking: Free street or garage parking on the next street

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly and kids usually love the buns and Peking duck“

“Superb Shanghainese cuisine with modern twist. For instance, chilled cucumber with chili oil. Tang Yuan in micro size. All very good, reasonable portions, and not salty or greasy. Went there for dinner on Wed and returned for lunch the next day!“

“The beef noodle soup was absolutely amazing! The flavor was so refreshing, and the beef was incredibly tender. The 5-grain noodles had the perfect chew, adding a great texture, and the broth was thick and full of rich flavor. Highly recommend this dish!
Free appetizers- peanuts and radish, hot tea is a plus.“

“quite good and competitive price. Missing Taiwan a lot!!“

“Ordered Shrimp & Chives (turned out to have pork) dumplings, Chicken & Spinach dumplings, and Beef Roll (there's a Beef Pancake also, so make sure of your order). Took out Mapo Tofu.

Loved the chicken spinach dumplings, which had a dab of sweet sauce and with the table hot sauce (go easy - it's quite spicy), with cucumbers cut thin. They are really great: 5 stars. These guys know how to make dumplings skins!

Beef Rolls were a tad greasy, and the dough was a bit thick. They're a 4 star.

TBD on the Mapo Tofu, but this dish was said to be good by other reviewers.

Kinda hole in the wall and simple strip mall locale. If you're down for a casual atmosphere, it serves.“

“菜很好吃。服務態度很好“

“Been going here since I was 17 years old. Watched the kids that help out grow through out the years. Everything in there including the decors has been the same. It’s like a Time Machine. Loved the beef fried rice and the garlic fried chicken.“

“I have tried many Chinese restaurants and this by far is one of my favorites. Not only do they give you huge portions unlike other Chinese restaurants. Their dishes are delicious they have so much flavor and I've never been let down once. For their spicy dishes I'd order extra spicy because they're regular spicy dishes aren't that spicy to me but I also love spicy food and I'm very tolerant to it. If you've never tried this place you have to try it literally it's one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Bay areanow next on my list is the Mongolian beef chowmane which I'm sure I won't be disappointed.“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“Having enjoyed their dishes many times for months, It’s beyond “Very Satisfying”! Excellent, delicious food! Quality well maintained although it is a hard time under C-19. Hygiene suggestions n requests well followed! Thanks 🙏 Customer Service outstanding! Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“This place is delicious. Every meal I've gotten here has just been so flavorful. Authentic delicious Chinese food. Panda Express doesn't even come close in taste and quality.
Super fast in and out in about 5 minutes with hot Delicious Chinese food. I've been coming here for years and finally decided to leave a review. All around great spot delicious food super nice family run business.“

“Ordered the Wonton soup and the Egg Flower soup over the phone, and arrived at the restaurant in a couple of minutes, and the order was ready for pickup in non-spill recyclable plastic containers. That was fast. The soups tasted pretty good.“
