Had an amazing time, quiet but the service is so attentive , the food I asked for a bit more spice on one of my dishes.. I love it when my lips have a bit of a burn.. Thank you Chinatown! read more

It was chaotic and raining outside but it was so quiet, charming , traditional, and warm inside the restaurant. I was greeted right away, seated right away, and brought my tea right away. It was my lunch break and I ordered *Mongolian beef* and it came out quickly. I thought it was really good, a little spicy - just how I like it. Since I was in a hurry I didn't try anything else. I really appreciate fast service. read more

Chinatown Restaurant - Mongolian beef - Chinese Near Me - Petaluma, California

What a little gem in downtown Petaluma! Ordering Chinese take-out can not be any easier on their website. Ordered 1 chicken fried rice, 1 prawns with mixed vegetables, 1 eggplant with garlic sauce. The flavors are all there but not overly salty or overly oily like some chinese take-out can be. It tasted more like a chinese home cooked meal. I enjoyed it a lot and would not hesitate to dine in one day or order my Friday night take out again! read more

This place is fantastic. Im a huge fan! We were looking for a great local place that served egg foo yung and we found Chinatown Restaurant on Kentucky street. Incredible food (egg foo yung, pot stickers, won tons, so many dishes. This has become a weekly visit and we love it! read more

First time at this restaurant, the service was excellent, the food was so-so, I'd give it a 7, But what I didn't like was the dirtiness of the restaurant, dust everywhere and the carpet is super dirty. If they make these changes I would definitely return to this restaurant. read more

Absolutely love this place. It has soul. The food is really good, the potstickers obviously homemade and delicious, the best egg foo young I've had. I'm addicted. A week doesn't go by without a visit. Highly recommend. read more

My new go to for Chinese food! Hands down the best Chinese cuisine me and my partner have ever had. We ordered the egg rolls, chow fun, sesame chicken, and mu shu all of which were fantastic! The flavors were excellent, especially in the mu shu which blew both of us away. Plus, the dining atmosphere was very cozy and relaxed with gorgeous decor and light fixtures. The server was very kind and attentive making the whole experience absolutely perfect! read more

Ordered takeout on Saturday afternoon. The older man who was working there was very unfriendly. When I asked for napkins he gave us one each and only one package of soya sauce for the fried chicken rice which is the worst fried rice I ever had, it was mostly just plain rice. Spring rolls were soggy and drenched in oil. We spent $55 there and got treated so badly. We are not going back there. The place was empty and we know why. read more

I used to be loyal to City Chopsticks but this charming, old-school Chinese restaurant on Kentucky Street is just as good! The Beef with Broccoli and Chicken with Cashew Nuts is Absolutely Delicious! I ordered called in the order and it was ready, piping hot. The young man behind the counter was relaxed and friendly. City Chopsticks already gets a lot of love, so I'm going to go to Chinatown from now on. read more

The ambience could use some updating here. I was the only person there until, perhaps a half hour later, another single woman came in and sat by the window. The service is good and the food is good as well. I ordered a lunch special, almond chicken. It was exactly what you would expect from any Chinese restaurant. I would love to see this place flourish with a bit more pizzazz or freshening up somehow. The vibe feels tired. So if you're tired, maybe this is a good place to go! Conveniently located on Kentucky Street where there is abundant free parking. read more

This is like tough leather. Doesn't taste like shrimp - doesn't taste like acting but bread crumbs. Fried rice is just white rice with salt, 4 green peas, and about 1/2 teaspoon of egg. Awful. read more

A hidden gem in Petaluma.... would go back again. Excellent service as well. Located on a very walkable street in Petaluma.

We've ordered takeout or delivery for about 10 years and have never been disappointed. Our ALWAYS dish is the Wor Won Ton Soup which is a huge step-up from ordinary Won Ton -- with dumplings, shrimp, chicken, and vegetables -- perfect for a cold, wet night. And their Combination Chow Fun is excellent (try it, you'll like it). Taylor is our usual delivery lady (we can only assume that Taylor Swift is her favorite singer) :-) We went there once with a friend from England who raved about it. The service was excellent but it was kinda lonely -- we were the only three at a table -- while customers were coming in and out for pickup which turns out to be their made business read more

The food is average. It is not bad but it is not great either. I would eat here again to try some different dishes. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, Egg Roll, and a soup dish. The Kung Pao Chicken was ok. I thought the chicken could've had thicker pieces. The egg roll was really good, I enjoyed that a lot. The soup was ok from what I remember. The service is great and the employees were friendly. read more

Wow! I never have too high of expectations for Chinese food in Sonoma County, but this place was 10/10! I loved that it's a hole in the wall kind of place. I went on a Sunday night and it was slow, every dish we ordered was so fresh and delicious. We had the crab ragoons, mushu pork, general's chicken, and chow fun. Yummmm, I've been thinking about this place since I went and I need to go back ASAP! The young man that served us was very friendly and we didn't feel rushed at all. read more

That Mongolian Beef is fire!!!!! I love the service and portions here from their vegetarian plate to the Mongolian beef it's delicious. read more

I have been enjoying the food from Chinatown Restaurant for a few years now. Really delicious with generous portions and served piping hot. I have greatly enjoyed the chow mein, shrimp and chicken with mixed vegetables and Mongolian chicken and shrimp. This is a family run restaurant with excellent service which is icing on the cake. I highly recommend this under the radar local restaurant. You won't be disappointed. read more

An unforgettable culinary experience! A hidden gem in the classic old town Petaluma. Immersed me in the old town feeling of stress free dining. read more

The food: Salt and pepper fish was well seasoned, not greasy, and presented satisfactorily. The vegetable fried rice could have used more seasoning but a little soy sauce fixed it right up. The place: Ambiance was nice, pleasant lighting and spotlessly clean. The service: Friendly enough but not really attentive. Water glasses didn't get refilled and she didn't check in at all until we were obviously done. The price: The fish was reasonably priced but over $8 for rice with maybe a dozen little veggies is a bit much. In conclusion: Not going to be our first choice next time we're hungry but I also wouldn't hesitate to go back. read more

I ended up going here because it is new years and all the other places were closed. BEST DECISION EVER. The food is fresh unlike many other Chinese restaurants. The service was great, the workers were professional and polite! I instantly liked and respected them. Lastly the ambience was great. It had traditional "Chinese" music (I believe it was Chinese) and was clean and calm! I love it! read more

Food was amazing, priced right and Serving size was perfect for lunch and very nice staff. I would recommend this place and will return in the future. read more

Chinatown Restaurant - Restaurant. - Chinese Near Me - Petaluma, California

Best price for taste Chinese food that has delivery nearby Penngrove. The lunch specials are such a good deal! The quality is better than most of the Chinese places I've ordered from nearby. There's a crab Rangoon w each one and it taste SOOOO good. Sweet and Sour chicken has the perfect taste. The jumbo shrimp wasn't what I was expecting and it needs a bit of black pepper but still taste good and nice crunch. Hot and Sour soup has soy sauce in it which is weird but still taste good. I would 1000000% order from here again and plan to! read more

Spent $300 for takeout on Xmas eve. It was not good at all. Lacked flavor. Orange chicken was very dry. The Chow Mein had very little chicken and what chicken was there seemed like it was boiled. Haven't been here for about 10 years but wanted to give it a try. If you want "great" Chinese food take a trip to San Francisco. You'll be amazed at the difference!! read more

Food wasn't up to the expectations. Lacking the authentic Chinese flavors. Bald and no flavor read more

Chinese food is my comfort food. I've tried most of the Chinese places in this area and this one comes out on top. Authentic home made not previously frozen egg rolls, nice and crispy. The price for their lunch special is like stepping back in time before Covid and inflation. Straight up the best deal around. I had the kung pao chicken and it was great! With just enough spice to make the flavor pop. The carpet could definitely use a replacement, the owner is a no nonsense down to business type but efficient and effective. So go on and support this long time establishment right in the heart of Petaluma. read more

If you love old-fashioned egg foo young, this is the place to get it. The egg foo young comes in a variety of meats such as shrimp pork chicken or a combination of all. Not many Chinese restaurants make egg foo young anymore so don't miss out. I will be back to try other dishes. read more

Very good food. We picked up, so did not dine in, but ambiance seemed nice. The service was very fast and friendly. Would go again! Also, the prices are very reasonable. We fed 4 people for $60. read more

Always delicious. Best Chinese in Petaluma! Clean, great service, and never misses. 10/10

Ordered Wor Wonton Soup with Shrimp this evening. It arrived with no Shrimp or seafood of any kind and it was flavorless. I called and spoke with a very rude young lady who told me that's the way they make it and told me to call Door Dash. I tried to explain to her that DD didn't make the soup her kitchen did. Got absolutely nowhere with her. I'll never eat there or order from there again. Management needs to train their employees in customer service!!! read more

My boyfriend and I are regulars here, and even though we've moved to Sacramento we STILL make time for a visit to this restaraunt because we love it so much. My grandfather is Chinese so I am very picky about chinese food.... This is the best you'll find anywhere. The food is traditional and delicious. The hot and sour soup is mind-blowingly good. Even if the food wasn't as good as it is, I would give 5 stars alone for the people. The lady and her husband are so kind and sweet. I feel like I'm at my grandpa's every time I'm at this restaraunt. The nicest people and the best food- this is a true 5 star dining experience. read more

Picked up takeout at 5PM, orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, chow mein, and crab cream cheese wontons. The pork and chicken was so dry it was inedible, was definitely not cooked today (my guess would be 2-3 days ago). The crab wontons were bomb, light and crunchy, and delicious. Chow mein was decent. The lady was super very friendly when I picked up, no issues ordering. Unfortunately I doubt I'll go back because of the old chicken/pork - only had one bite of each. read more

Chinatown Restaurant - Orange Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork - Chinese Near Me - Petaluma, California

Best Chinese food in sonoma county. Family run, really sweet and nice people. I go there whenever I get the chance.

I decided to give this restaurant another try and was very pleasantly surprised. The hot and sour soup was very good, the best hot and sour I've had in Petaluma. I ordered the monogloin beef with fried rice and loved that as well! The beef was tender and the flavor was great. My Dad ordered the Szechuan chicken and the flavor on that was also really good. You can also ask them to make the fried dishes crunchier or less crunchy. My family will return as we all enjoyed are food very much and are pleasantly surprised with its improvement after going under new ownership. Say hi to Beier, she is very sweet. read more

Chinatown Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Petaluma, California

Consistently great food! I always get chicken fried rice and Chicken chow mein... I've had veggie pot stickers, orange chicken, honey walnut prawns, cashew chicken, and war won ton soup and it's all fantastic! I highly recommend it all! read more

Chinatown is more than a place to sit and enjoy a delicious Chinese meal, it's a place where you come to get treated like family. A girlfriend of mine lived a few blocks from Chinatown and came here at least once a week for over 2 years. That says a lot since she gets out a lot and for her to dedicate one night a week to this place it's just got to be good! Getting greeted by your first name and served a Tsingtao as you sit down doesn't hurt either. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food but we all came here for a friends Birthday last week and had a grand old time. I can't stress enough how friendly and attentive the staff is; we received our first order within 5 minutes and our drink order within 3. The sesame chicken was by far the best dish but I looooved the cashew chicken as well. Their pot stickers when dipped in the hot sauce is to die for. They're perfectly cooked with a huge burst of flavor in every bite, not too chewy or filled with mystery meat like some other places. Their prices are pretty reasonable for the quality and taste of their food. Win! read more

Delicious. The orange chicken was great, although spicier than I expected, not that that's a bad thing. Pork fried rice was good, but pretty average. The fried wontons filled with cream cheese were THE BEST. I wish there were more than six per order. The place was cheap, the food was made fast and hot, and it was pretty darn good. I look forward to trying more things on the menu. Or, you know, just sticking to the cream cheese wontons. read more

Perhaps my favorite Petaluma restaurant it's cheap taste good the guy at the counter is nice it's like how restaurants used to be, makes me happy 5 stars read more

Worst Chinese food I have ever eaten in California . An insult to Chinese food !! I will never eat food from there again and I suggest don't waste your time or money . Rotten !!! read more

Not a fan at all. I ordered from here yesterday and it was not good. As we opened the box two things immediately caught my eye; the chow mein noodles were white which means they were not fried and had no soy sauce or anything on them, 2-we opened the fried rice and it is NOT fried rice. It is steamed rice mixed with the veggies!!! Tasted fine but that's not what I paid for. It's not terrible food but it's more like mall food read more

Oh Chinatown restaurant. A quick new favorite. Affordable and lightening quick service. Truly fast, fast, fast service. I mean, I came in for lunch one day and was literally done within about 20 minutes. But I tend to savoir my food when I go out so that's not the only impressive thing about this place. Yes, Mongolian beef is nummy. I like the Mu Shu Pork as well. The hot and sour soup is wonderful too. It's got small shrimp, mushrooms, and the other usuals. What I really loved was the house made hot sauces. OMG, look at my pics. Essentially one is a typical rooster style pulpy red chili garlic kind and the other is a thinly shaved sarrano and garlic pickle that I couldn't stop eating ... and yes, it promptly went into my hot and sour soup. So much so, that my Mongolian beef tasted pleasantly sweet. Lol. If you want it just ask for "hot sauce" not just "hot mustard". The sweet and sour sauce is house made too. I tried asking how it was made but the waiter just said he didn't know so I'm guessing the cook didn't want to share the recipe. My last trip I also ordered the pot stickers. They are the thick doughy kind that are typical authentic Chinese. They were good and I liked the ginger, garlic, sweet sauce that came with them but I tend to prefer thinner dough like gyoza. Not sure if I'll get them again as they were really filling. I may if I just order something like soup, but if I got an entree, unless there were a lot of people with me - not so much. The service is wonderful and the price point is affordable with a nice portion size. The thing I loved most? You can order any entree and add something like $3.50 to it and make it a meal. Wonton strip, soup, salad, rice/chow mein, and a slice of orange and a fortune cookie to round it out. A lot for only something like $10 to $12. I usually have leftovers and have lunch for the next day too. Yup, found a another nice solid standby spot in Petaluma. Can't wait to try more dishes. read more
