27 Best Chinese Restaurants near Solana Beach

“The food here is great, but I'm basing my review entirely on the service.This was my first time going for a rather large dinner order for my family.Lupe and Angie were extremely kind and helpful with my order. I've never used the app before, but they walked me through its features and reward program--all while readying my large order at the same time. They really went above and beyond to help me; the service was quick (not rushed) and friendly. I've never met them before, but they made me feel like we were good friends. You can just tell they're both caring and helpful people. Honestly, it was a a refrshing experience and far beyond the normal level of service you'd get anywhere else. They deserve a raise for sure!Like I said, the food is great; but I'd go back for their top tier service alone. Thanks again for your help and friendly service ladies!“

“We went to visit my grandma in Texas recently and we decided to try Haidilao in Frisco. How about 10 stars!! Soup was amazing and friendly staffs. Employee Mei was amazing! She made us felt at home and really took care of my daughter Maylee. Highly recommend Mei.“

“Great, authentic food. If you like Panda Express, maybe don't go here but I personally think this is much better than Panda. They also sell milk tea boba! I was finally able to try this place after the students finished their finals and I've got to say I can see why this place is always busy. My only issue is that it's really expensive to eat here. They sell food by weight but it's easy to get over $15 for a plate. However, they hold happy hours during the week, so you get a slight discount there. Anyway, definitely recommended if you feel like splurging on a good meal!“

“We used to eat at the Chins in San Marcos back in the mid to late nineties. It was our all time favorite Chinese Restaurant. We are staying here in Del Mar and ordered "to go" at Chins just down the street. Food is still delicious as we ordered Honey Sesame Duo, Beef Chop Suey, and Pork Pot stickers. Pot stickers are still the best anywhere!“

“Man it's really gone down in quality and quantity since the last time I visited. I got the spicy chicken which was salty and tasted different then I remember. My so got the new orange chicken. We switched plates. The Orange chicken had a nice orange flavor. I remember when they'd give you enough to share. The lettuce wraps were still good, but they no longer offer the 3 chilies you can mix to you're liking of heat level. I won't be going back anytime soon.“

“Had a yummy lunch at Chinese Korean fusion restaurant CHIKO. We sat on the dog friendly patio where you order through QR codes on the table. We ordered the XO shrimp, spicy kumin lamb stir fry, and pork belly bao. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food comes out quick. Recommend, not many Asian fusion restaurants in the area.“

“Really great noodle restaurant in Los Angeles! I love Chinese Bamboo Spicy Noodle Soup. Oh my god! It hit me home whenever I tried it! would highly recommend the restaurant! They really have authentic Chinese noodle soup which you cannot find anywhere else. I always go there when I am in LA.“

“Just authentic top notch Shanghainese cuisine.We appreciate the dedication and effort of the restaurant, allowing us to enjoy genuine hometown dishes.The service has improved significantly since the soft opening. The speed of serving has also increased considerably.H1. Shanghai Pan Fried Noodle, G5. Shanghai Pork with Bamboo Shoot Soup, B2. Duck Seasoned with Soy Sauce, E4. Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables are our favorite dishes.Thank you Chef Zhu for your exquisite craftsmanship!“

“Solid place for a variety of Chinese food. We've had delicious meals here, twice cooked pork, chow mein, baby bok choy, sautéed pea shoots, pork and shrimp dumplings, salt and pepper fish, hot and sour soup. There is something for everyone. Everything has always been really good... considering everything is going up, they've kept their prices fair and reasonable. It is in our regular rotation.“

“China Fusion was excellent! The food was delicious with generous portions at a really agreeable price! The cream cheese wontons and Szechwan Beef were my personal favorites. The Beef with Broccoli was tasty but didn’t seem as flavorful when up against the Szechwan Beef.The restaurant was spotless and had peaceful classical music playing. China Fusion deserves all the stars from service alone. I’ve never been somewhere where the staff was so thoughtful, so considerate. We were greeted and seated and brought bowls of egg drop soup while we were looking over the menu. They were quick to take our orders, get us food, fill our drinks. One server even pulled out a chair for me to put my bag when he saw me trying to get open it while holding an infant. They packaged our leftovers for us and gave us an extra fortune cookie. Just small, thoughtful acts that really impressed us. We absolutely plan on coming here again and again.“

“My wife and I go to Thai Pasta for lunch at least once a week. The food is great and the people there are friendly. They do a lot of take-out and Doordash orders, but not a lot of dine-in, so it is normally a nice, quiet place for lunch. The food arrives quickly if you need a quick lunch, but there is never a rush to leave.“

“This is definitely not my first time here and I really don't know why it took me so long to write a review. So lazy! Anyways.. the service here is always amazing. They have a huge craft beer selection and wines I believe. I only come here for the food! We had the chow mein with beef, spring rolls, fried tofu, combination noodle soup with flat rice noodles and roasted duck noodle soup with thin rice noodles. Al were delicious. The roasted duck was flavorful and not oily. Love the clean taste of the broth. Can't ever go wrong with spring rolls. The tofu might have been a tad bit over fried but it's not gonna hinder this review. The chow men was delicious. The noodles were deep fried and it held the gravy well. When ever we are in the area we always stop by.“

“Great Chinese food and service , the only thing to at I have to complain is these two couple who are picky on food, and boss the waitress around and staring at other people but overall the restaurant is good for food depending what you make out of it.“

“This place has really good dishes and some really bad one. Most reviews here mention their Salted pepper Chicken wings, and there's a reason for that. They are the best dish in the entire menu in my opinion, maybe even Mira mesa. 5 stars for sure. Their salted pepper squid, walnut shrimp, cream cheese wontons are also really good. But where they lost me was anytime, I ordered something crunchy that is coated in a sauce, such as orange chicken. There's just so much batter that just absorbs the sauce and it becomes a soggy unappetizing mess. Anything that is served in a broth/soup is completely bland and flavorless. This place has some really great food but also really bottom of the barrel dishes. Figure out what you like, and just stick to that. Other than that, Restaurant was clean, servers were nice and attentive.“

“Food was good: came out fast enough (10 minutes) and is great chinese american fare. Service is great: smiles on everyone's faces. Ambiance is classical. You'll feel comfortable. Toilet slightly dimly lit, but not dirty at all. Don't really understand the bad reviews. Been there a few times, always a good time, so go and see the place for yourself.“

“A nice place with a calming atmosphere. I like the food a lot, occasionally on the edge of too much salt/msg but never crossing the line.Their menu is a little less inspiring than their competitive siblings at Chin's Szechwan, but both Chin's are better than so many other Chinese restaurants.“

“Been here for so many years and it's been my all time favorite Chinese restaurant. They have the best quality food and great service compared to any Chinese restaurants I've been too. Definitely recommended as my number 1 Chinese cuisine“

The ladies always have a smile on their faces.Delicious food:salt and pepper chicken wings - loved it! Crispy outside, juicy and tender inside, not dried.Orange peeled chicken: not over fried like many restaurants. It has hinted taste of orange.Spring rolls as appetizer: has 8 pieces in an order. Crispy and the temperature is just right when brought out! Tasty.Salted fish and chicken fried rice: an authentic Cantonese fried rice dish. Good portion of salted fish in the fried rice. It satisfied wify's craving.Will definitely return for more.=================4 years ago:Came here to buy some roasted pork for the Lunar NewYear. We ended upp with 2+ pounds of roast pork, 1/2 of a chicken, and 2 orders of fa gao (a light sponge cake).Service: good. Server was nice to tell me about the choicess of chicken. Knowing that I was buying food to celebrate the lunar new year, she told me about a celebration in the nearby public library. Was smiling all the time when we carried a conversation.Food: surprisingly good quality!!! The skin of the roasted pork was crispy. The meat was seasoned with the right amount of salt and spices. Each piece was cut perfectly and assembled nicely in the box, see picture. I sometimes get my roasted pork from a store in Clairemont Mesa. This place has better service and quality! The sponge cake has good texture and not so sweet.Like this place and will visit again for bbq takeouts.“

“My parents and I were so excited to come here because we love PF Changs and they happened to be in town visiting. When we walked in we were immediately impressed with the location and the lovely outside views and bright windows. When we placed our order with our server who was incredible and so hospitable, we were so sad to learn they were out of green beans. My Dad & I are vegetarians so we always look forward to the crispy green beans or chili garlic green beans whenever we come. We ordered the mapo tofu, the vegetarian spring rolls, and the pan fried noodles with vegetables. The noodles and the spring rolls were super tasty.Vegetarian options: Lots of options, crispy green beans, mapo tofu, wraps, etc.“

“Generous portions and good, fresh food! They make to order, not like the other place that lets their food sit in metal trays for hours on end! This place is always fresh and the people are friendly! Sign up for their frequent diner club and get special offers such as their weekly two-for-one coupon!“

“It’s like kinda improved version of Panda Express. $10.75 pretax for any combination with more than 10 choices. These two dishes are freshly stir-fried, rather than prepared and left there to keep warm. Chow mein and fried rice are much more delicious than “

“Prices increased $1 since last visit. They added salmon skin and this jalapeno sushi roll which both were yummy. Everything else seemed the same except there wasn't chicken feet but pig feet today. Service was good, I love how they don't waste food by making large portions of items but constantly have fresh, hot food coming out. The inside was well kept and neat.“

“Stopped at their booth in Balboa Park during the Lunar New Year festival. Their prices were very reasonable with a 3-for-$10 on steamed buns. We got chicken and mushroom and cabbage and mushroom. So good! The fillings were plentiful and flavorful and the buns were tasty and perfectly steamed! Will def buy from them again next time we see them!“

“Food was good, we ordered the Mongolian Beef, Crab Rangoon, and Tofu Chow Mein. Would have loved to have tasted more crab in my Crab Rangoon, but other than that, food tasted good. Service was good too, took about ten minutes to get our food which was average. Atmosphere at the Wind Mill Food Hall is great, a must see for first timers as there are many places to choose from!Vegetarian options: Some egg products in a few dishes, make sure you ask!“

“I enjoy the food very much. Its not P.F. Chang, but I wasn't looking to spend $100. I enjoy everything on the menu, and usually order a large side of rice for the next day. I hate the fact that they discontinued their fried shrimp, there is no reason they could give me that I would accept. The beef side is a dollar extra but worth it. And the orange chicken is as good as you will get anywhere. Their sides are really good, spring roles are my favorite. They also have a great variety of drinks and boxes of fortune cookies. The services is fast and accurate, and friendly. The quality of the meat and vegetables is very high, and the vegetables are crisp and moist. I have no complaints, I'm usually happy with my meal even when I order something wishing I had ordered something else. It's all part of a good healthy meal. And I don't see me not continuing my patronage. Try them, you won't be sorry.“

“Amazing food for the prices!! Best orange chicken I’ve ever had. The walnut shrimp is over the top. They’re rices are as amazing as they’re chicken. The portions are great for the prices. In every meal they include fortune cookies as a little dessert. 10/10 great fast “

“Authentic and had my taste buds dancing. They changed their name of the restaurant however still seemed as though it was operated by same people. The Dan Dan noodles were enough spice for me and I couldn't get enough. We also ordered about 10 other dishes and shared family style. The place easily accommodated for our party of 12.“
