Cute and charming little building in the corner of the parking lot. Me and my family got: Combo plate #2 Sweet & Sour Chicken, BBQ pork fried rice & an egg roll. Chicken was nice a soft on the inside and crunchy when you bit into it. Rice was a chef's kiss. Egg roll, was well an egg roll. Combo plate #3 Garlic Chicken, BBQ pork fried rice & foil wrapped chicken. Chicken was nice and seasoned. Garlic wasn't overpowering and chicken had a nice crunch when bit into it. Rice was also a chef's kiss. The wrapped chicken was nice and soft with a bit of a chewy texture when eating. Combo plate #4 Beef and broccoli, chicken chow mein and two crab ragoon's. Beef and broccoli was nice and soft, chow mein had a good texture and the ragoon's were nibbled and eaten by my sibling. Overall, def a hidden gem if you're in town. read more

Friends and I stop by this place for lunch after looking at a muscle car for sale. When visiting Manteca, we always stop by New China Kitchen. When having a craving for Asian food. The folks who ran New China Kitchen, had retired in December of 2025, we had discovered. So we tried China Bowl, located in a strip mall and visible from the neighboring streets along with parking being tight. We ordered the shrimp wonton soup, fried prawns and egg rolls for starters.The soup and fried prawns were very good and tasty.The egg rolls weren't to my liking and were on the doughy side. We later ordered Broccoli and beef, orange chicken, the house fried rice along with Mongolian beef. The main dishes were on point along with being eye catchy. This place hits the spot and has great service if you like chiness food. All the dishes were very tasty and at a great price. read more

Service was wonderful. Young gentleman waited on us and he was very friendly. He was attentive and noticed when our drinks were less than half full and immediately filled them without us asking. Ambiance was typical of what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. I posted a video of the dining room. Seems to be a tad outdated but definitely well kept up and clean. The food portions were good and price was reasonable. My walnut chicken and his sweet n sour chicken appeared to be the same chicken tossed in different sauces. Our food was served within minutes but was not hot more of room temperature. To be fair this is a good place to eat for cheap and good portions. Food was three stars with a good price for what it was. This place is absolutely equally as good as the Big name Chinese fast food competitor. Wish we could do half stars because I would easily go three and a half stars for the food. There was plenty of parking in the lot and some additional parking on the street along side of the business. This is obviously a local small business and I will always recommend supporting them! read more

China Bowl is one of those places that if you blink, you'll miss it. It's a tiny little place nestled in between medical and business offices on the main strip in Ripon. But, it's been there forever and, if you know, you know! I've seen this place for at least 20 years with every intention to stop by, but never did until last Saturday. I took my Mom for lunch and we were greeted right away by a really nice lady (the owner?) who seated us and took our drink orders as we sat down. The place is small, but extremely clean. There were only 2 other tables occupied besides us, but that changed within the next 20 minutes as more people came to dine-in. We ordered the seafood combination lunch plates which were $10.95 each. It came with a cup of the egg flower soup (very tasty), white rice, and a delightful sauteed blend of shrimp, calamari, carrots, zucchini, and broccoli in a light sauce perfectly seasoned. The portion of each lunch plate was so big that Mom and I could have easily shared and still been full, but it was nice to have leftovers for later. I wish I would have taken more pictures... We also tried an order of the fresh, homemade potstickers which were some of the best we've ever had. China Bowl has a nice selection of menu items to choose from, the food is made fresh, and the restaurant is very clean. The staff is friendly and attentive - we are definitely coming back! read more

China Bowl - Homemade potstickers! These are a must try! - Chinese Near Me - Ripon, California

We have been here and got take-out many time over the years. The service and wait times are always slow, but the food is fresh and hot. Our favorite is War Won Ton Soup, especially on cool nights. We have tried many things on the menu and always been happy. Ambiance is typical of many Chinese restaurants and has not been updated in years. We recommend for good Chinese food and a good value. read more

Called for take out . Told it would be ready in a half hour . Got there in 25 minutes and my order had just been done . Ordered Teriyaki Chicken it was a very good sized portion and tasted wonderful. Also ordered the sweet and sour prawns and good portion again and they were great too . Lots of room and it looked very clean . The hosts were excellent and friendly, on the phone and in person . Only drawback was they didn't have a menu I could take with me . I definitely recommend and will return . read more

Really enjoyed our meal here tonight. Small quiet little restaurant. Clean and friendly staff. Good was made quickly. We ordered: wor wonton soup, honey walnut shrimp, broccoli beef, house chow mein, house fried rice, and veggie egg rolls. The wor wonton soup was great. Wonton were big, and full of meat. I haven't had a wonton that full or big in a soup before. Flavor was good and lots of veggies. Honey walnut shrimp was definitely our favorite. The double fry on it gave it such a great crunch to it, and the shrimp still remained soft and flavorful. And the shrimp were big, bigger than ice ever had at any other Chinese restaurant. Everything we had was just great! Haven't had good Chinese food since we've moved out here to the valley and this definitely has changed our minds. We definitely will be making the drive over here to have Chinese food! My youngest loved the chow mein soup much she asked for the whole plate to eat the remaining noodles. Overall, this place is our new favorite Chinese restaurant. Also, to top it all of, we were wonderfully blessed by an older gentleman who paid for our meal today, I wish I could thank him. It was definitely a memorable meal today. read more

Solid Chinese American food that satisfies your greasy spoon Chop Suey House cravings. Taste is good, serving sizes are huge and the price is cheap. Lots of plate combo options that will get you out the door with enough food for 2 for $10. If your idea of yummers is large servings of deep fried crunchy sweet meat in the form of orange chicken, lemon chicken, sweet & sour pork etc you will love this place. read more

The customer service was great, but the food lacked a little flavor but I would go back for sure. The egg drop soup was delicious it warms you up on a cold day and it'll make ask for seconds read more

Was in town for work and called in my order for lunch and just fyi during lunch time can take some time a little hole in the wall if you will but the service was good and the food was good too good amount for a lunch special order chow mein with sweet and sour pork and prawns just fyi the sauce can be too much that it kills the crunch to the sweet and sour pork and spills into the taste chow mein maybe the sauce on the side for me next time gives me that back in the day feeling but you can't beat it, I would Definitely come back again and try their other choices, if your craving for some Chinese food in town probably one and only one in town didn't see the cook but I will be dinning in next time. read more

Prices are old in the pictures. Combo Garlic chicken, chow mein, 1-egg roll is 10.50 Chow mein noodles are like spaghetti. Not much veggies or chicken. Garlic chicken was good, tho. read more

People are very friendly. But the food was just average. Did not care for the Mongolian beef at all. It had a weird brown gravy and the chow mein had large chunks of meat that should be cut up. read more

Ordered $75.00 of food, when the order was ready it was bag and tied so I couldn't check it. When I got home I was shorted my garlic chicken order. Call the restaurant and all they wanted to do is argue with me. I would never go there again!! read more

Great Chinese food! Ordered Kung Pao Chicken and Chow mein which was delicious and a nice big portion. The lady at the counter was very nice and cordial. I will definitely return soon to get some more delicious food. read more

Choimen noodles was over cooked and sauce was sweet for a diabetes person that is a flagged. Also ordered orange chicken that too was too sweet and fried rice not good either. I'm going to give them one last try will be ordering the same and if it doesn't improve I will not come back. read more

Food flavor was ok. They give you a lot and I guess that's where to reviews come from. They serve their togo food in styrofoam containers which would be ok if they didn't add the food so hot that it melts the foam into your food. The bottoms of all containers were melted. I guess if you eat there it's ok, but for togo it's a no to toxic plastic in my food. read more

Finally!! A good Chinese place around here. I live in Manteca this is about 8 min from me. You have no idea how impossible and disappointing it is to try and find a decent Chinese place around here. I'm from the bay and used to having good Asian food nearby. This satisfied my Chinese craving. The potstickers are huge, fried and filling, comes with amazing sauce. BBQ pork fried rice was delicious and so was the chow menu. The garlic chicken was perfectly fried and had a great flavor. We will definitely be coming back here. They provided great service and I saw people coming in and out for takeout during late lunch hour which was a good sign. read more

The best Chinese in Ripon I really like this place!! If you're in the area try it out.

Food was so great. And the service was fast and to the point definitely will be returning again and again

common occurrence : I ordered to go/pick up and they said it would be ready in 30 minutes. I waited 40 minutes and the order wasn't ready. they took my money, I'm waiting for my order to be cooked. it has been 55 and I'm still waiting. I think they only wait until you pay. Really frustrating since I a in a time crunch- need to clean for overnight guests. This has happened too many times. this will be the last time as I will no longer order from here. read more

food was great as a great richness flavor to it. my kid loved it! Service was great. Ambiance was good and soothing. cozy vibes
