We were visiting from out of town and stopped by for some Cantonese-style seafood. My wife loves fresh steamed fish and lobster, so we ordered the steamed turbot and typhoon shelter lobster. Both were delicious! The fish was fresh and tender, and the lobster was loaded with crispy garlic and plenty of flavor. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly. We had a great meal and really enjoyed finding a place that serves some of our favorite Cantonese dishes. read more

We had a reservation we came at opening. They made reservation u see the impression we would be one table. The woman on the phone said it would be fine. And they spilt us into two tables. Each table ordered separately and only one table got food. And ate. The other table waited an hour and got no food. We are one large party and yet the staff messed up big. And they claimed the manager isn't in. They have good food when it arrives but it's not orderly or friendly. Lacking communication with kitchen and staff. They used to be better read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, the quality of ingredients is unmatched. Every single dish I had was an explosion of flavors in my mouth. Intoxicating, mouth watering aromas from the kitchen, I am impatient and cannot wait for the dishes to arrive at my table. This is my fifth time coming here alone and with friends. I've never had an issue with the wait or the service. Everything is tip notch and I just absolutely love this restaurant. Today I ordered, the green beans and it's simply the best I've ever had. Just the right amount of salt and garlic, and what a crunch. The hot and sour soup, authentic and better than Chinatown. It's salty, spicy, vinegary, bamboo shoots was crushy too. The roasted duck was spectacular, crunchy skin and flavorful meat. Perfect seasoning. The orange chicken is a must. Crunchy and so so tasty. Every chicken pieces were crunchy and no bad pieces in this batch. This is not your panda Express orange chicken or Panda Inn, this is your Mr Chows Beverly hills orange chicken. The quality is un-matched. I don't know what these noodles are but they are crunch and delicious. I am so satisfied, and I also love the prices too, very good for this quality. I'm getting such a great deal. read more

We wanted so much to have a wonderful experience here as we took these photos to share but as we sat at the bar to order a cocktail and food sadly we waited not one minute, not five but about 20 minutes with more then two employees that we knew had seen us there. If you want to come in and observe the place with no good service that knowledges your presence this is the place to come in to waste your time. Oh well. Some places are not meant to be. On to the next to spend our money at that wants customers and we are more then happy to give our money to and x out the bad. Goodbye China Republic- Farewell. You unfortunately lost customers read more

So I went back to China Republic again I do enjoy their food. It is so fresh authentic unfortunately, the service was not as good. Our waiter seemed very disoriented. He kept forgetting some of our dishes. He took a long time to get his refills. That's one thing that does bother me we're paying and tipping for Service and it should be done with the upmost care and consideration we ordered the packing duck the Mushu, which was suggested by the waiter, which was very delicious and the beef with the mushrooms Beef with the mushrooms was seasoned and flavored so deliciously texturally with the variety of different mushrooms that were in this dish was such a delight to eat The Peking duck is always one of my favorite the skin is extra crispy than meat is very moist. It comes with a nice light sweet-and-sour and then a darker duck sauce to pair with fluffy soft boas And the appetizer the mushu was a very delicious that came with like a Wong tortillas to pair with it and it was a very good recommend 10/10 But like I said, give it a try and you decide read more

Had my doubts about this spot but my parents said if was hella good so gave it a shot. The dishes are all dishes I've seen before. They don't have any "new" or dishes out of the ordinary. BUT where they lack in creativity or modernity they make up in EXECUTION/QUALITY. All the dishes were so good. They also have dim sum on the dinner menu! The crab was fried to perfection. You could easily bite in to get the meat. We had two crabs dishes... The house signature black pepper and the fried crab. The French beef dish was so tender I was surprised they could do it that well. The macau pork belly had the perfect amount of crisp and not too much fat. The Beijing duck comes with the duck like shredded so I'd be aware of that. I still found it to be really good tho and to have a ton of meat. The scallop and shrimp dumplings from the dim sum menu were solid. Nothing special but they were good. Overall, if you're in the area looking for good sir down banquet style Chinese restaurant I'd def recommend. read more

The restaurant is very nice and clean inside. It's a very nice restaurant to enjoy with family and/or close friends. It has a warm feeling to it. Our waitress was very friendly. I should've taken more pics of the menu but the menu was the nicest menu I'd ever seen in a restaurant. I had the Chow Fun and it was very good! I asked for low salt on all items. The food way hot and made with fresh ingredients. It was amazing, to me. The meat, chicken and shrimp were cooked just right. My wife tasted the Chow Fun and she also said it was very good. My wife had the eggplant cooked with medium spice. She enjoyed it saying it was the best one she has had. The low salt made a big difference. It was also fresh and hot and it smelled really good! I'm not a fan of eggplant. We shared the egg fried rice. We assumed the rice would have mixed vegetables but it was exactly as it said in the menus. Egg and rice . With only those 2 ingredients it was also very good. The food was delicious and I loved the interior of the restaurant. A classier Chinese restaurant. We will be back. read more

My family has been spreading the word about China Republic for some time now. We have a favorite aunt in Rancho, so my wife will often go to China Republic with her and sometimes our kids. I haven't had a chance to go until recently, so here I am with a review! Food: I was a bit worried about China Republic. Don't get me wrong. The reviews are great, and even my family seemed to think it was great. My reservations were strictly a "me" problem; nevertheless, no matter whose fault it is, I want to be able to eat, and I am on a really strict pescatarian Mediterranean diet. Fortunately for me and my picky ways, China Republic had my back! China Republic has a large menu, and even though most people seem to come for the dim sum and traditional Chinese fare, there is no shortage of delicious healthy options for people such as myself. The steamed fish was big and tender, and because the rest of our party of ten was eating the usual goodies, I had the whole dish to myself. It was most satisfying. Besides the fish, I had black mushrooms in a vinegar sauce and a variety of other vegetable offerings. Everything was delicious. Ambiance: The ambiance is very nice. It's a little on the formal side, with nice tea service, chopsticks, clean tablecloths, and bone China, but it isn't overly so. I saw people adorned in a wide range of outfits, from hoodies and jeans to polos and Oxfords, and nice blouses and skirts or even dresses. Nobody seemed or was made to feel out of place. Service: The service was excellent. Food came out promptly, and the wait staff kept our water glasses and other drinks filled. They were also quick about removing empty plates from our table's carousel. We felt well taken care of and appreciated. Overall: Overall, I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend. This place checks all the boxes for a nice Chinese restaurant for a family gathering, and while it's not super budget friendly, it's not outrageously expensive either. I feel it was a good value for the price. and I can say confidently that I will be back. read more

We came here for a pre-selected menu with a large party. The staff was quite attentive and always ready to clear out empty dishes and make room on our table, but sometimes a little too soon before we could even clear the plate! Everything was really satisfying and delicious, but my favorites would have to be the eggplant and walnut shrimp. There was also a duck dish which I enjoyed all of the sauces on, and I'm not normally a fan of duck! read more

Came to pick up lunch today, everything was ready in 20 minutes. Arrived at my brother's house to find out the shu mai was missing. Called it in and was able to grab it after coming back to the restaurant. The manager gave us a free dim sum which was nice. Food was delicious! Enjoyed every dish we ordered from the snap shoots, eggplant, fish fillet, duck, pork chop, beef and mushrooms. Next time we're in Fontana again would love to dine in. Their space is huge and clean. read more

My family and I were craving some dim sum and China Republic seems to be the only restaurant in the IE area that offers it! One thing I will note is that they are quite expensive compared to other dim sum restaurants we've tried. I believe their dishes range from $5+ per plate which is pretty pricey but if you don't want to drive out to Rowland heights, OC or LA - this is your only option. Their food is good though! We tried all the standard dim sum dishes: Steam char sui bal, custard tarts, Custard buns, sesame buns etc. everything tasted great! Unfortunately they were out of the baked char sui buns, which are my favorite. But all the food we did try was delicious! Just expensive. read more

This is a very beautiful restaurant inside and the service was outstanding. They changed our plates a couple times as we ate different entrées. The dim sum was good. Got siu mai and xiao long bao. The prices are about 15 to 20% higher than any other restaurant with the same menu, but they make up for it with great customer service and vibrant atmosphere read more

China Republic - Dim Sum Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Service, food quality and ambiance -- China Republic checks all of my boxes and is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Inland Empire. Living in the South Bay, I always make sure to swing by when in the area. My favorites are the French-Style Beef Steak, Chicken with Spicy Garlic Sauce, Green Beans, Chow Mein and Lobster. Their family-style plates make it so easy to fall in love with new favorites, knowing each dish will be of caliber! I also enjoy their large spirits and wine selection as well -- a welcomed addition. Highly recommend! read more

I still love this place even if it's greasy on the fried dishes. The dim sum always tastes freshly steamed. The veggies blanched and garlicky. Service fast with water, dishes come out hot, as prepared. Ambiance is familiar style eating. This time and last time, I got the Peking duck - it's cold but it's good. Steamed buns instead of the pancakes, to roll the duck skin, meat, scallions. Rice not that succulent or fragrant- but that's okay- I can make my own rice when I reheat the leftovers. I've eaten here with just two people and also with 10 people. Good for families. Loud and a dish for everyone. Plenty of parking and clean bathrooms. read more

Finally tried this place as i've been looking for a dim sum spot in rancho! Loved the interior and how it's ancient chinese style, very fancy and clean The dim sum dishes were yummy, i wished they had more options tho! we tried the chive and shrimp pancake which is not on the menu and i loved the flavor. The french style beef steak was also tender, the portion size was just okay tho, it's just a layer on top and it's all onions on the bottom. The service can definitely be improved. They didn't really check in on us, we needed a refill on the tea and had to wait a while and call the servers ourselves. read more

Me and my boyfriend celebrated our first year anniversary here! We had made reservations but arrived at non-peak dinner time so we were seated right away. The service was smooth and everybody was very attentive to us! We order 4 items, everything was big enough to share between 2-3 people. We had the string beans, soy sauce chow mein, Mongolian beef & pork dumpling. Everything tasted amazing. Parking was accessible and there was plenty. Inside the restaurant was clean, fancy, and nicely spaced out tables I'd definitely come here again and try the king pao chicken and beef chow mein next time! read more

This is one of my go-to places for comfort food. Good Dim Sun selection. They have all the classics. Har Gow is overstuffed with shrimp, Sui Mei is large and flavorful, Beef Balls have a pleasant hint of lemon grass, Rice Noodles come with choice of several meats. Portions overall are pretty large and high quality, which justifies the elevated price. The Peking Duck is one of my favorites, super flavorful and large enough for four people. Service is prompt and mangers help out when needed. The decoration is more reminiscent of Japan with a blue/dark wood combination than classic Chinese colors. read more

Just right. Good place to go to eat Iam recommend this restaurant to someone to like enjoy Chinese food

I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. From the moment we walked in until we left, we were treated like royalty. The place is immaculately clean and they have a massive staff to keep all patrons happy and attended to. This would be a great place for a group ... you can order a plate of something and share. Hint: they also offer a Dim Sum menu that i would love to try some time. If you want excellent service, fantastic authentic Chinese cuisine, and a chill ambience, you have to try this place. read more

This place can be considered one of the fancy Chinese Restaurant in Local area here, it's beautiful vibes and they have bar also serve alcohol, I came here many times whenever with a friend or family gathering. Tbh, I am not sure about Dim Sum I only ordered some based on my kids and family reference but we ordered more on Family platter size. It's always a waiting line but wasn't bad, we got seats quickly. We loved the environment there, isn't loud as when you went for Dim Sum In SGV or Santa Ana. We definitely coming back. If you are around the area and prefer a calm place for Dim Sum, here is the place you a must visit. read more

The dim sum here is not as good as what would find in SGV, but it's not bad considering its location. The shrimp in the har gow was minced and didn't have much flavor. The pork and shrimp mixture used in the xiu mai was dry and a bit too firm. The xlb came out cool and you can see dark spots on the wrapper where the juice had burst during cooking, leaving the xlb very dry when eaten. I did enjoy the French style beef and the pepper shrimp egg rolls. read more

I placed a pick up order for 2pm and came in to get it at 230. Order was not ready. Several employees saw me at the counter when I walked in but did not ask if I needed help. The Xiao Long Bao is quality stuff. Delicious w/ a good amount of broth in it. It was also packaged well for a to go order. The lunch prices for dimsum are good. I got the XO seafood fried rice as well. The ingredients were fresh and shrimp was thick, but the dish lacked flavor in general. Overall: Poor service Good prices for dim sum (lunch only) Would have given this place 4 stars had it not been for the lack of attention to customers read more

Food is great. Service was HORRIBLE. We made a reservation for 14 people. When we called, they said they would be able to accommodate us on one table. When we arrived, they said they could only put us on two tables. Each table ordered separately and then only one table got food. It took over an hour for the other table to get their food. After multiple complaints, the server laughed at us and said it's on the way. It proceeded to take another 15 min for the rest of the food to come. They said the manager is not here and they did nothing to try to resolve the issue. They used to be so good. They also said they ran out of some dishes when we arrived at opening. read more

China Republic: Where Green Beans and Walnut Shrimp Rule the Empire Let me tell you, China Republic is not just a restaurant--it's a whole experience. I showed up here on the strong recommendation of some friends who clearly have excellent taste in food (and friends, if I may say so). From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like royalty. Honestly, I half-expected someone to roll out a red carpet or start fanning us with palm fronds. They were poised, respectful, and threw in some pro tips on which type of Chow Mein would blow our minds. Spoiler alert: they were spot on. But let me cut to the chase--the stars of the show. First, the Green Beans. I don't know what kind of wizardry they're using back there, but those beans deserve their own fan club. Then there's the Walnut Shrimp, which might just be the eighth wonder of the culinary world. Sweet, savory, crunchy--it's basically a perfect bite every time. I'm already plotting my return to explore more of the menu, but if you go, do yourself a favor and order those two dishes. You'll thank me later. 10/10 would chow down again. Long live the Republic! read more

Poor customer service. We were waiting in the front and no one there to assist us for a long time. I literally need to go at the kitchen to get their attention to be seated. I also waited more than 15mins just to find someone to get my bill and pay. They are not very attentive and not accommodating. For a high end restaurant that's very pricey, i was expecting more. And they are not even busy when i went. There were only 5 other tables with customers. Food is ok but service is frustrating. read more

Food is great, portions are a bit smaller, and the price is high. Overall: good food but pricey!

Overall, a great experience. We started with the hot jasmine green tea, which was fragrant and soothing--perfect for setting the tone of the meal. For appetizers we ordered the egg rolls, which were crispy and perfectly filled flavorful veggies. Moving on to the mains, we sampled a variety of dishes, and everything arrived hot and fresh. The Orange Peel Chicken was a standout for me. The sweet and tangy orange glaze perfectly complemented the crispy chicken. I don't eat beef, but my parents loved the Mongolian Beef which they said was tender, and perfectly seasoned. The Kung Pao Chicken was packed with a lovely crunch from the peanuts and a very mild kick of heat. The Chow Mein was lacking a bit of flavor, but I would still order again. The Garlic Broccoli was a simple, but tasty side. Service was quick, and our waiter was incredibly attentive and kind. The prices were also reasonable--our entire meal came in under $130, which felt like a great value considering the quality and portion sizes. The only downside was the state of the bathroom, which was unfortunately not as clean as the rest of the restaurant, with sticky floors. It stood in contrast to the otherwise lovely dining space. I would definitely be back for the value and flavor. read more

Before the pandemic, this was the place to go for dim sum. Parking is never an issue. There is hardly a wait or a line to get in at opening time, too. Always clean, excellent service and waitstaff. I really like how they made the dim sum experience an elevated one. The music here is not so loud like other places. You can actually hear a conversation in front of you. While the selection of dim sum may not be as varied as other spots but the al cart menu is vast and can fill your needs. My favorite are the traditional dim sum dishes, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, shrimp har gow, steamed gailan, braised pork ribs, pan fried turnip, steamed rice noodle and egg tarts. Really can't go wrong with any of the dishes. I especially enjoy the oolong tea. Overall, if you're looking for a quiet, high quality dim sum, this place is your spot. read more

Food is authentic Cantonese and flavors are spot on. The restaurant is nice and space with the upscale pricing.

We had a large party to celebrate Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day and two birthdays at China Republic. The restaurant was vey helpful in organizing the pre-ordered selections and the staff were super gracious and attentive. China Republic serves Cantonese style cuisine at its best.

The restaurant opens at 11 AM. I called at 11:10 to place it to go order for 1 pm and they said they weren't doing to go orders in advance so I just said I would place the order right now to go. They said that they were no longer taking orders for pick up and that I couldn't go in person either to place a to go order. The food is good but honestly, the service is terrible to say that you're not taking anymore pick up orders for the day when they just opened 10 minutes ago is actually ridiculous.

China Republic is a solid spot if you're craving dim sum in a stylish, clean setting. The interior is surprisingly sleek--modern with nice touches of traditional decor, and the service is attentive and quick even during peak hours. That said, the food itself is just okay. Dishes come out fast and portions are generous, but the flavors didn't quite hit the mark for me. Not bad, just not memorable. Still, if you're here more for the experience and a chill dim sum outing with friends or family, it does the job. It does get very busy though, so if you're super hungry, you might get a bit impatient. Once seated, though, things move at a good pace. All in all, a nice place for casual dim sum in a clean and buzzy atmosphere. read more

China Republic is one of our go-to spots and easily deserves five stars. The food selection is excellent, with so many great options to choose from. It is a bit on the pricier side, but you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients. They're fresh, well-prepared, and worth it. We come here about twice a month, usually once for a dim sum day and once for a dinner date night, which says a lot about how much we enjoy it. The ambiance is another big plus: the music isn't too loud, the vibe is relaxed and pleasant, and it's easy to have a conversation without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and consistently a place we're happy to return to. Highly recommend! read more

I would definitely recommend China Republic. My family and I celebrated my mom's retirement and they were very accommodating to our group of 6 people. The plates are family style so we shared everything. The best part is their lovely spinning table which makes it easy to share food with the entire table. Everything we ordered was tasty. My favorite was the orange chicken and vegetable lo mein. The baby bok choy were delicious as well. My least favorite were the cream cheese wontons because they didn't have much flavor. Overall, everyone was happy with the food and the service was great too. I will def be back next time I'm in town. read more
