Honestly I was not sure what to expect based on good reviews because with Chinese restaurants especially it seems like there is an unreliable narrator issue. We sat down in this homey restaurant that felt like we'd been transported back in time to 1997 or so which I liked for a change. Nestled in an unassuming strip mall by some martial arts studio and a few other restaurants and stores. We ordered way too much food and the plates were huge. Highlights were the fried shredded pork with jalapenos, hot and sour soup, and orange chicken though everything was great. Best hot and sour soup I've ever had, great spice level and depth of flavor. The fried shredded pork was seasoned perfectly and went great with everything. We also had bbq pork chow mein and I was pleasantly surprised by the bbq pork being obviously house made fresh and not dried out bright red 40 like most places. Service and value were both great with a huge amount of leftovers and very accomadating but not suffocating service. We had about 7 dishes and it was about a hundred. Probably my second favorite chinese restaurant I've ever been to in my life. read more

Quick update -- still loving this wonderful place after all these years which, imho, is the best Chinese restaurant in Pacifica. Besides the items I mentioned in earlier reviews, want to shout out the excellent Hot & Sour Soup, full of so many different delicious ingredients, it has become one of my favorite H&S soups of all time. I also love their Black Bean Sauce, with any protein you choose (although I love it with chicken breast) -- it is truly delicious. String Bean Chicken is another favorite. The chefs are two brothers, and the terrific Ricardo, at the front, is one of the chef's sons. They are a wonderful family. If you've bypassed this place but never stopped in, or if you're from the North Pacifica or Montara, Moss Beach or El Granada, it is definitely worth the trip -- it'll become one of your favorite (if not THE favorite) Chinese restaurant on the coast. read more

The food was served very hot which I love. The flavors were a bit different than all the other Chinese restaurants but I loved it!! SO Good!! Prices are fair and service is exceptional. Don't miss this hidden gem. read more

Ju Fu serves classic American Chinese food. The restaurant was freezing. Be sure to bring a parka jacket if you are dining indoors. My seafood crispy noodles $18.45 was readying in about 10 minutes. This was good. Their gravy was a lighter color with hints of garlic, chicken stock and cornstarch. The seafood part consisted of shrimps, little scallops and squid. Service was fine as there weren't many people dining indoors. They did have a lot of to-go orders. read more

So I thought I'd give them another chance, called the order in, and it was ready in three minutes, I ordered Mongolian beef. What a load of garbage all the meat was just fat undigestible. It looked like it had been eaten, and spat out and put on my plate,, Unbelievable, so if you want good Chinese food stay clear of this crap hole and I only gave it one star because I couldn't give it any less read more

Delicious and great service! Our fav is their fried rice and bitter melon. Easy parking and fast service.

Great service and great food, definitely would recommend! Lots of seating and a nice family environment

Having lived here for over 15 years, we've found Ju Fu to be reliable and excellent -- consistently so. Even when we order right as they open or minutes before closing, the take away orders are hot, fresh and tasty. Thanks for being our family's go-to solution when we don't feel like cooking or have leftovers! Their Mu-shu chicken, fried rice, and sizzling rice soup are always our go-to's. Very glad to see they re-opened their dining room lately! read more

Quite good. Surprised by how good the food was. Didn't expect too much in Pacifica, but this is the place for good Chinese food.

Always fresh and delicious food! Reasonable prices and Great service too! They have take out or sit in tables or booths. A Nice experience.

The BEST soups around and get something crunchy to go along with it. Take home or just sit in the comfy booths and enjoy. Everybody is so friendly. read more

Great and friendly service. My favorite dish is the kung pow chicken...always consistently good.

Terrible food. I don't write reviews but I wanted to dissuade people from eating at this awful place. Worst Chinese food ever. Calamari went straight to the dog. Even he gave up on it. Awful food. Don't waste your money. read more

After a day of moving my family took me here for a meal. Definitely a good restaurant & it's right across the street from me. Orange Chicken, Egg Foo Yung & one of the fried rice dishes. read more

Really legit Chinese! Had Mongolian chicken and shredded pork with tofu lunch specials. Comes with rice and hot and sour soup (which needs a bit more vinegar). The mains were very good.

OK, I know we live very close to SF and Millbrae with a million great Chinese food places and while I am not saying JuFu is better than all of them, it is definitely better than alot of them though and being located in the BOV near us, we LOVE this place. Always solid, always friendly and we are so very happy that they survived the pandemic. Long live JuFu! read more

I cannot say too much about this Chinese restaurant as I have only been there a few times and both times were for Togo. They are only offering pick up and Togo due to covid. I had the lunch special. First I had string bean chicken with fried rice and the second time I had chicken in black bean sauce with fried rice. I like how you get to choose between fried rice or steamed rice. When given the Choice I always choose fried rice. The string bean Chicken was just string beans and chicken and the black bean sauce chicken was chicken, zucchini, and carrots. Both plates had pretty good flavor though they could use a little more chicken. read more

Okay so I had no clue that this place existed but since we used to go to the little place in Strawflower that closed a year ago we had no good take-out Chinese. I saw recommendation on Yelp so decided to give this a try even though this is not around the corner for me. Great place and worth the 30+ minutes in my car to get there and back. First off the do not appear to have their menu on-line and I ordered off the pictures that people uploaded on Yelp. So I was able to pick my dishes but the prices were not current by any stretch. So we got Wor Wonton, EXCELLENT! Then for 2 of us I got 2 dishes (Kung Pao Chicken and Monglian Beef both good) and house fried rice, price $72. I didn't ask for the listing but it was about $20 more than I had added up from the pictures. But let's say that this was 2 dinners for us and we both love Chinese and can eat our share. This could have easily been dinner for 4 so if we go back I would order less. Their portions are large, not as much protein in the dishes as I would have liked but man I would go back for the Wor Wonton. Recommended, keep in mind prices on Yelp are old... read more

I really like the food here and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I like their chicken chow mein and their won tons. Their dinning room is quite large and open. It also looks like they are open for in person dinning again which is great to see! read more

Food: The food is great. Even when I have ordered dishes whose names I don't recognize, I have always been happy. I love Sizzling Rice Soup (tried for the first time today), Jor Jiang Mein (love the cucumber that it comes with), and BBQ Pork Chow Fun. Service: - Always very friendly. - Food is ready when they say it will be when doing take out. - Today, I just said I felt like soup and the lady at the front suggested Sizzling Rice Soup. I went out to my car to wait with my dog because they said it would be 10 minutes, with the intention of coming back in. But she actually came out to my car to hand it to me when it was ready earlier. So kind. - The guy who answers the phone in the evening doesn't even ask for my name anymore. I don't order from there that often (every couple months), so that's kind of cool. read more

Craving walnut prawns and this is not the place for them. Tiny cocktail type shrimp surrounded by a thick layer of batter that tasted like it was deep fried twice- and still a bit soft. Green beans were ok. Probably will not come again. Service was good! read more

We were super excited to try a Yelp-5-Star restaurant -- buuttt we discovered it's probably 5 star because it's the best in Pacifica. But pretty okay for Chinese food in general (and definitely like a 2 star compared to the best of the best.) That being said, it's a nice joint in the Bay - and especially convenient if you live in Pacifica. But probably not worth driving here for. To be fair, we did order really really white-washed dishes like General Tso's chicken (it's my standard) as well as more authentic dishes to get a gauge of which food Ju Fu specializes in. We're not really sure in the end, but it's definitely not bad. Honestly, if I owned this restaurant, I'd probably cook it the way they do since it'll be popular with the locals. Maybe they're doing it this way and cook it really differently for themselves (really common actually!). Since it's way off course for us though, we probably won't be coming back - but we would return if one of our crew moved to Pacifica (just kidding, that person would just low-key disappear from our lives haha). read more

Ju Fu Restaurant - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Pacifica, California

I don't know why this place doesn't have more reviews, they are always so busy every time I pick up my food. This has become our go to Chinese restaurant when looking for yummy take out in the neighborhood! My favorite items: General Tso's chicken, orange chicken, hot and sour soup is delicious every time and one of my favorite menu items, Mongolian beef, braised, green beans. Honestly, I could probably go on, but you get the gist. I wasn't crazy about the noodles, that might be my only con. But there's so many other yummy items on the menu that I've figured out exactly what to order so it hits the spot every time. read more

Wanted so badly to like this place. First off, the man working here was so nice! We wanted to dine in but they only do take out. The good: We ordered pork buns. Delicious. We also ordered potstickers and those were yummy too. General Tso's chicken was good but some pieces were really chewy. Chicken fried rice was decent. It had corn inside which I first thought was weird but it wasn't bad. The not so good: Ordered pork chow Mein. Pork had a lot of gristly pieces of fat. Beef with snow peas, snow peas were overcooked to the point of being mushy, beef had a weird unpleasant texture. Overall, I'd come back for the potstickers and pork buns. Prices here are incredibly cheap which is great but remember sometimes you get what you pay for. read more

Food is still as good as my last review, and they have reopened seating indoors. Yay! I love the hot and sour soup here. And the salted fish fried rice. And the garlic tofu with pork. read more

4.5 stars? Oh hell no! Who are you people giving this place 4.0 reviews? Immediately after my meal today, my wife and I had the shit$$! Bad food, rotten, spoiled or something is wrong with this place. Be careful people, be careful. This place is dirty and not safe. read more

Local restaurant serving up consistent Chinese cuisine. Owners are friendly and always accommodating. Not the place for a first date but that's not what brings you here anyway. read more

Ju Fu Restaurant - Spicy pork with stir fried vermicelli - Chinese Near Me - Pacifica, California

My family ordered chow mein, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and honey walnut shrimp. The honey walnut shrimp had a lot of breading on the outside and the shrimp on the inside was small but the honey walnut sauce was tasty. The chow mein and fried rice was a little bland but they were still delicious. Perfect balance of meat and vegetables in the fried rice. I loved the flavoring in the sweet and sour pork. Portions for everything were pretty big so you can definitely share with others. Great place if you're craving chinese food! read more

I had noticed the high rating of this Pacifica restaurant and recently had a chance to try it while working nearby. I ordered from the reasonably priced lunch specials and was immediately impressed by the great taste and quality of the food. It was fresh tasting and not oily or greasy. The hot and sour soup that accompanied the meal was delicious. (I did add a few drops of vinegar to taylor it to my particular taste.) The service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere was relaxing. The cook appeared to really enjoy making great food. I enjoyed it so much that I went again the following two days. Definitely recommended! read more

I love their Mushu Vegetables entree. Service is friendly and courteous. Ambience is relaxing and we enjoyed dining in.

That was the worst Chinese food I've ever had. It was over cooked and under flavored. I won't be back.

Best local chinese take out joint. Always good and a staple of the BoV. Get yourself some double mushroom chicken and make your life a little bit better. read more
