It was amazing! We really love the food here. Chinese food you can afford every once in awhile, and have a tasty meal. We have enjoyed delivery, but have never seen the ambience or experienced the service. Food is great, no complaints. Our go-to Chinese!! read more

Lunch special for price is great deal. Food and service excellent. Can eat a quality lunch for mech less than Fastfood options

We tried China Bros for Lunar New Year. I was looking for a place in San Marcos with egg drop soup, and China Bros popped up in Yelp. We ordered take out with two meals, an appetizer, and soup. Our total with tip was $50. My husband picked up the order, said the restaurant was very clean and nice inside. We tried the Sesame Chicken and Orange Chicken meals with white rice. Both were delicious! Best Sesame Chicken, with a light sweet sauce! Orange Chicken was sweet, not spicy at all. For an appetizer we tried the Crab Rangoon, my husband loved them! The Egg Drop soup has corn in it, soup was amazing! Overall the service and food were outstanding, thank you! This will become one of our new regular spots for Chinese food! read more

This is a little Chinese food restaurant in a strip mall. If you can imagine what you think Chinese food from a strip ball taste like ... you are spot on. Not bad, not great. The fried rice was a little bit dry for me and the noodles had too much fish sauce flavor (for my taste, anyways). The general chicken was not very spicy and did have a good flavor to it although I would have preferred it more garlicky. Overall -- it's checked the box of an easy Chinese food lunch. The price was very good and great value for the amount of food (about $11 for this lunch special). Lastly, the service here is extremely friendly and pretty quick. If only rating service, I would give a four or five stars. read more

China Bros - L15. General Chicken Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - San Marcos, California

Just ate here for lunch today with a family of 5. We wanted a booth but they were just slightly too small so we had to sit at a regular table. Not a problem actually as all of the seats are padded. We each ordered a lunch menu item, which all come with half-and-half rice and chow mien noodles, plus a small egg drop soup. Lunch items are right around $10 each, and each of us got a heaping plate of food. HIGHLY worth the $10. We all liked our food. The orange chicken was not too sweet unlike other places (Panda). I got the Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce. Lots of sauce on this one. It ended up leaking out of the container after we got the rest to-go, so be sure to pack your leftovers well. The Beef with Broccoli was great. We also got the Bunny character buns. They looked cute but I didn't think they had a lot of filling. Not too sweet either. One thing to note: we noticed that some of the soy sauce bottles have a cracked lid. The one on our table wasn't screwed on tightly so we got soy sauce everywhere and had to exchange with another table. That one also had tape holding the lid together, so be aware. Also, they only had plastic forks. No metal forks. It's a little tough to eat heavy noodles with plastic forks. They don't have any beer options that I could see. We all chose water. Total came to $61.66 and we had a lot leftover so you have dinner covered if you eat lunch here. read more

Food is so awesome, service was great for the third time I went I love their house special chow mean.. I keep going just for that , they do have a lunch menu but I rather get my favorites even.if they are not on special i like that it's on the corner to avoid noise level.of shopping center read more

I ordered the combo platter, which consist of the eggroll, butterfly shrimp, crab Rangoon, pot stickers, and BBQ pork. It was standard, but I couldn't eat the eggroll because it was a bit salty. The service is good. They give you a bowl off egg drop soup while you wait for your food. The ambience is casual. read more

Clean establishment and prompt service. The lunch special is affordable (a little under $11 including tax at the time of this review) and they give generous portions. I couldn't finish it all in one sitting, and even when I transferred the leftovers to the to-go box, it looked like a whole meal still! I would give the orange chicken and fried rice 4/5, while I give the noodles 5/5. Will definitely come back to try different dishes. read more

Ordered lunch on Monday and spent $45.00. The food was old, reheated and tasted like dirty oil. The veggies were limp, the foo young was burnt and the other lunch was greasy and reheated. We have eaten here before once and it was good. Never again. read more

Great food! Delicious, good amount for the price. Called in half hour prior to closing and was able to pick up order before close. Very nice staff. read more

We ordered through door dash and went to pick up. The Chinese food here is actually pretty good, we thought it was better than Panda Garden. We got the general chicken, a beef dish (came with veggies), beef chow fun and combo chow mein. The food had flavors and wasn't too salty. Plenty of meats in the chow mein and chow fun too. We'll order again! read more

Sometimes you got to live a little and try something aside from Panda Express. With less of a line, this is a good option for a quick meal. It's clean and parking is simple. Prices are reasonable and their food is tasty. Their noodles were lacking protein - that's what I noticed not flavor. I didn't have to use any additional soy sauce or Sriracha. Their honey walnut shrimp, though large and filling seemed to be lacking in terms of mayo and honey. My family usually finishes this item from other spots but I this time around over half of it was left over. read more

Best Chinese Food spot in North County! I have sat down in the restaurant for lunch once before, the staff is very welcoming and are quick to take your order. Tables and seats were clean! The menu is great. I would need multiple trips a month to try everything on the menu! The TASTE & QUALITY of the food is where this place really shines! It's what keeps me coming back! Today, I ordered 2 Lunch Specials, General Tso's Chicken, Beef with Broccoli, 4 BBQ Pork Baos & Sesame Balls to be delivered. Food got here hot and tasty! The chicken was still crispy! Definitely eat there for the full taste experience, you won't regret it. read more

I ordered for pick up. They always tell you 10 to 15 minutes but it's usually ready in 5. I really like their chow mein. The Kung Pao Shrimp is spicy, but they put a ton of zucchini. I like getting my dose of vegetables, but this can be overwhelming. There was also sauce dripping out the container and into the bag. They have sauces out near the drink bar, like spicy chili and egg roll. I like coming for the lunch specials. read more

China Bros - Lunch Kung Pao Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - San Marcos, California

Not impressed. First order from them. No crispy chips. No fortune cookies. Hot happy. I requested the 2 crab rangoon be replaced with 2 more dumplings since I can't eat dairy. They gave me 4 crab Rangoons and no dumplings. The Beef was really poor quality, the pea pods were overcooked, but it's the beef that made it bad. China Fusion is a few bucks more but better quality. read more

I like it. Been here quite a few times for pick up and the food isn't extremely salty nor is it like eating pure sugar. The name doesn't help, but the food is a lot better than some of the other places in San Marcos. It scratches the itch and then some. It's our go to Chinese for now. We like the house chow mein, beef chow fun, general Tsao chicken, moo goo chicken, and beef and brocolli. All really solid and fun. Decent parking read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE or lack thereof shall I say, The young man at the front who took my order never asked if I wanted a drink, which I did, he also did not ask if I was dining in or taking out. I assumed you just seat yourself if you are dining in so that's what I did, as it was my first time here and I wanted to get my egg drop soup which is only included in your meal if you dine in, and to my surprise my food was brought to me in a to go container sat on the table tied in a bag, no egg drop soup, the boy was silent. I thought that maybe this was just how they prepared every order maybe due to covid or something, but i looked left and the what I did notice was that he did the same thing to a Hispanic woman dining in with her children and another few women, but each man that left out He spoke to them thanked them and was respectful by calling them sir. read more

We always go to China Bros in Escondido, but was surprise to find out they have one in San Marcos. Nice and friendly staff. I had the lunch special Mongolian Beef and hubby -sweet and sour chicken.

Ordered the pad thai and it was a plate of Mush. The worst looking and tasting food I have ever had.

This location is absolutely delicious! Only this location though, the Escondido one is inedible. We ordered the orange chicken, beef and broccoli, combination chow fun and mapo tofu. Everything was wonderful. You could even taste the wok hei on the noodles, I was very impressed. Definitely 5 stars. read more

I love Chinese food, Chinese buffets, cheap Chinese places. Anything but panda express. Even when places have poor reviews, I usually end up liking them. Not sure if I just ordered the wrong thing, but, this food was terrible. I ordered sweet-and-sour pork and it had no flavor. I was really looking forward to it and was so disappointed. Maybe I'll try them again and order something different but I can't imagine it being very good. read more

We are so happy, FINALLY!!! an actual chinese food in North county that is not Panda Express or like panda.. Food is good! Price is great! Quantity is just right!!! Finally we don't have to drive down south to Mira mesa or Convoy!!!!!!! China Bros, listen bros, keep the price low and quàlity high.....and you will always be this family's spot!!! read more

This is a great place for Chinese takeout! All entrees are made to order. You are in and out in about 15 minutes. Their Shrimp with Snow Peas is fantastic! Their Kung Pao Chicken is great. Their Cashew Chicken is great as well. I really like their Mu Shu Pork too! This is my favorite local Chinese restaurant. read more

This place sucks. Inconsistent food (depending on the cook, it's a hit or miss). I ordered egg drop soup in the early evening and they serve me lukewarm soup from their lunch service instead of making me a fresh batch. Not coming back. read more

The food here is amazing and fresh. Service is fast and if you order over the phone it will be ready when you get there. The dining area is small but efficient, kind of coffee shop style. The Orange chicken is my go to. Fried rice is great too. read more

We did take out here recently and got one of the family packages with egg rolls, orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, chow mein and rice. Everything was INCREDIBLE! It fed our family of 4 with plenty of leftovers. Our picky kids even enjoyed all of the food which was a huge win for us parents. We will definitely be going back. And the price to value is just awesome. read more

This place is awesome for their tasty food, friendly service, and unbeatable price! My boyfriend and I love coming here for their lunch special because they give generous portions and their food is flavor packed. The lunch special is available till 4pm daily (EVEN ON THE WEEKENDS)! You get to choose your choice of entree and it comes with rice or fried rice, chow mein, and egg drop soup our favorites are Mongolian beef or anything chicken! This is a small lowkey restaurant so any support goes a long way read more

China Bros is a casual sit down casual Chinese restaurant that serves dishes similar to Panda Express or even some larger Chinese restaurants that hold large banquets. You can either order take out, fry a family meal pack or get a solid $8-9 lunch special and dine in. The lunch special was the best option, served all the way to the late afternoon. This costs less than Panda Express. You get half fried rice half chow mein with a protein like orange chicken or Mongolian beef. You also get a soup. They make each dish to order, you aren't eating out of a large vat. The service was good, meal comes out within 10 minutes or so. Outside of lunch special you can order from their expansive menu. read more

We had been ordering from China bros at Escondido for about 2 years now and my husband and I were so excited when we found out they are opening up a location in San Marcos! They're now finally open and of course we're gonna get some Chinese food! The taste and quality of food was the same - delicious flavorful wings (could be cooked for a little shorter) and yummy orange chicken. The chow mein and fried rice were flavorful too. And don't forget their Taiwanese noodles! It's my favorite dish there! Speaking from a Chinese, I can't say their Chinese food was the best around, but definitely good, but for the portion and price, it's really amazing. You can find dishes for under $8. Nowadays you can't find food at this price point unless it's fast food. China Bros food is definitely way better than fast food! With reasonable expectations, this place is a 5 star. But if I want more elaborate Chinese food and more authentic Cantonese flavor, I would go elsewhere. I'm definitely a regular! read more

Went there for the first time....never again. I have never seen Chinese veggies diced,,they are always thinly sliced. The utensils are such cheap plastic, they bend. It is impossible to eat the food with them. I needed a spoon to eat my entree. Volumes of food, but quality is not there. This is definitely Chinese food for the American masses, nothing like in China. I do not recommend. read more

Very solid Chinese food, we had the sweet and sour pork, beef chow fun, sweet and sour soup, and all were very tasty. Food was delivered and it was still hot and tasty. This will be my go to for Chinese food in the area. read more

Accessibility: there is no disabled/accessible parking directly in front of this restaurant but a few doors down they do and the ramp to get from the parking lot up to the sidewalk is also there. The doors to enter are two pull doors. Inside the seating is booths without moveable chairs. Experience: Ordered fried rice and it was fresh! I got it to go and they put it in a nice Tupperware type of container that kept it hot all the way until I was able to eat it at home an hour later. Delicious too! I do recommend. Good size portion for one person, maybe two if they eat small amounts. read more
