11 Best Chinese Restaurants near Palm Springs

“This place is good, nothing major to complain about. Solid place for basic takeout food. Service is friendly and they are accommodating. Prices a bit higher than average but it is in Palm Springs. Service was fast and food as advertised.

I'd eat here again.“

“all pandas are pretty much equal because they are chains and pretty consistent across the board. but sometimes you get a particular server who is beyond helpful and friendly and tonight i have to say that alexiia was that server.

she had service with a smile, offered me a drink because i had to wait a mere two minutes for some fresh orange chicken, and then made sure my food was packed up quickly and efficiently.

just had to point out that she was great.“

“11/5/24 - I just visited this panda express for the very first time, and I'm highly impressed with the customer service, food, and atmosphere. I ordered orange chic, fried rice, chow mein. It was packed and during lunch, but the handsome manager and entire staff were super fast and efficient. I agreed to wait for fresh fried rice, and I'm glad I did. It didn't take long and everything tasted delicious. The young man who bagged the takeout was very kind as well. Even the restroom was clean.

Thanks guys!

“Food was kind of Sweet, tart and some spicy. Not too impressed by the place. Prices were kind of high for the type of Service that we had. I guess because of the name we expected more. Also the waiter would get lost most of the time that we were there.“

“We recently moved to Cathedral City from New Jersey and have been making it a point to try as many local restaurants as possible. China 8 was our latest stop, and overall we had a pleasant experience.

The service was friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. We started with the fried potstickers, which were crispy and enjoyable. The egg drop soup wasn't our favorite, as it included corn, which was a little different from what we're used to, but it was still a nice start to the meal.

For our entrées, we had the Chicken with Snow Peas and the Chicken & Broccoli in Garlic Sauce. The snow peas were fresh and crisp, and the chicken was tender. The garlic sauce dish was packed with flavor and definitely had some heat to it—more than we expected—but it was well prepared and made with fresh ingredients.

While China 8 hasn't quite replaced our longtime favorite Chinese restaurant back in New Jersey, it was a solid meal and one we enjoyed. We would definitely come back and explore more of the menu, especially now that we know to ask for milder spice levels on some dishes.

If you're looking for a dependable neighborhood Chinese restaurant with friendly service and generous portions, China 8 is worth a visit.“

“Wasn't a huge fan of the pho or the sweet and sour chicken compared to other restaurants but the orange chicken and chow mein were pretty good and the amount of food and quality that you get for the price is definitely worth it. The girl up front was nice and checked on our table for refills etc.“

“It appeared that half of the Coachella Valley ordered from Wang's on Christmas Day. Understandably the wait was long and the staff a bit stressed. Despite this, the quality and taste of the food was FIRST RATE. Wang's Chinese food rivals what we used to have in NY.“

“I've been eating here for years! This place is the only place in the valley that really reminds me of my family from China/Vietnam. I haven't had better Chinese noodles anywhere around here. The vibe and decoration in the restaurant makes me feel like I'm in my family's houses. Plus everyone in the restaurant is super friendly. Wait times are super short. And the food is awesome. If you haven't tried it you definitely should.“

“I've been to several panda expresses here in the desert. This place is closest to our home. The food is pretty good but they are out of what we order most of the time and have to wait to get new batch. Usually about maybe 10 minute wait. The portions are always different depending on who serves the food. Alec doesn't give you much where as Dayna gives you much more...We know now who is serving to know what and when to order. Some give larger portions than others. But there's normally no wait and service is pretty quick. The restaurant is fairly clean and plenty of parking. Good for fast food!“

“The person taking my order was having a bad shift. I understand anyone can have a long day but it is not okay to be rude towards a customer who was being polite. Going anywhere to pay for things while looking forward for leaving a tip is crazy when someone’s attitude makes you not want to eat what they served.“

“I had passed by this buffet several times a day but finally decided to stop in and I'm glad I did. This was my first visit, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Our group of five was seated right away, which made a great first impression.
The food selection was impressive:

everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. I especially recommend the baked mussels, white steamed fish, and dumplings-they stood out the most. The service was also great, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit.

Overall, a fantastic dining experience, and I will definitely be coming back.“
