Seems this spot only does to-go. Had one of their family dinner options to try a few things. Pot stickers were delicious, hot and sour soup as was good. It also came with a spicy chicken and a spicy shrimp entree. Don't recall the names but they were family meal B. Shrimp was good, the chicken was fried in too much breading. I'd give it another try and choose items a la carte. read more

Ginger beef won ton soup (off menu item) is so comforting. Friendly staff. Appears to be to go only.

There out family restaurant for years. Thank you for the great customer service and amazing service and food

Been going here for years for the fried chicken skin. So good and good prices. Very friendly owners. Open everyday except Monday. No more buffet. It's take out only since Covid. read more

Pacific Restaurant - Menu 11/17/24 - Chinese Near Me - Daly City, California

I love their food!! The service is excellent!! Been a customer for years. Wish they were still open for sit in !!!

Food is okay- sometimes it's not as tasty and other times it's Great! They only get it to go- but it's worth it

I don't know why this place only has 3 stars. I live in the area and I've tried every Chinese food place in the area and this is the best place for American style Chinese food. Hands don't the best Chinese food in in the top of the hill area!!! read more

I have tried quite a few dishes over the years and all of them were great. Small hole in the wall with tasty food provided in hearty portions. Customer service is always great. There are always customers in and out throughout the day every day. The wait is not long at all. They take cash, card and Apple Pay. Very convenient. The lunch buffet was small yet effective. They do not offer lunch buffet at this time (not sure yet about the future), but I hope they bring it back. I feel as though the quality of food has gotten better. More flavorful and less salty. It would be nice to eat inside as well. I like the traditional decor. It's nostalgic. read more

I came here for the first time on Lunar Chinese New Year while walking my dog and this place saved my family dinner! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, the wait was quick, and the lady was so sweet and delightful! I wish I knew about this place sooner but I'll be coming back very often from here on out! So happy and lucky that I found my neighborhood Chinese to go spot read more

Pacific Restaurant - Delicious! - Chinese Near Me - Daly City, California

My family has gone here since my mom ate here with me. I am now a adult and my children eat here. BEFORE COVID their food was really good. The service is also really good. AFTER COVID the food was less seasoned but still really good. My children like eating here. 4 stars. read more

Best Chinese food! Longtime customers and I can't wait till they open for dine in. Their buffet was so delicious. We always get the pan fried noodles, won ton soup, potstickers n fried rice. The best and I've tried lots of Chinese places. read more

Family dinner and we wanted an assortment of Americanized Cantonese dishes for five adults and three toddlers. One of the kids as a food allergy to shrimp so no shrimp tonight! The restaurant is clean, the servers wear uniforms and are friendly. We ordered more food than we needed and almost managed to finish it. There certainly wasn't enough to take anything home. Deep Fried Chicken Wings - 4 - Served hot out of the fryer. Didn't look like much but good flavor. Potstickers - 3 - Pretty much run of the mill. Not bad, not great. Mu Shu Vegetables - 4 - The filling was fresh and flavorful. The wrappers could have been warmer but they worked. Sweet & Sour Pork - 5 - Breaded Cubes of Pork deep fried served with a sweet & sour sauce, bell peppers, onions and carrots. Very yum. Catfish on Sizzling Platter - 5 - a nice variation from beef cubes or prawns on sizzling platter. Pork Egg Foo Young - 5 - I'm not sure that I've ever ordered Egg Foo Young as an adult. We always make fun of people who order it but this version was actually very good! It wasn't loaded with bean sprouts and the flavors were quite good. Tomato Beef Chow Mein - 3 - I really miss Chinese restaurants that have super hot burners under their woks. You need that heat so you can properly stir-fry foods without steaming them. When I was a kid, I remember the noodles, tomatoes, bell peppers and onions all had some char marks on them. No, they weren't burn't, just slightly charred, which changes the flavor slightly and adds texture. Oysters in Clay Pot - 4 - Lots of ginger and onions and I believe there was some daikon on the bottom. Very flavorful. Ma Po Tofu with Pork - 4 - Chinese Soul Food! All you need is a bowl of hot rice. Everyone was satisfied with our food. Even mom had few complaints and she's a professional! read more

Don't be fooled like us!! Says "Grand Opening", but they're just re-opening after ripping out carpets or something else worse maybe like cleaning up after getting shut down? The moment we walked in, there seemed to be an awkward vibe. We walked in and got weird stares from everyone. Seems like only non-Asians eat here. We were the only Asians the entire time. We only came here because we live super close & thought they finally changed owners. When we first moved here we already tried their place & thought it was gross. Don't expect a smile from the waitresses, a mug face is what you'd get. (Maybe because we're Asians though). The one that serves us seems confused. The only recommendation she made, was a Fail. We were recommended walnuts prawns which is a popular dish in Chinese restaurants. How can something so simple be messed up? Stale walnuts and not so fresh prawns. Why would any decent restaurant serve stale walnuts? It's not like the place was cheap either. That dish was $14. Rice was $6 for 4 people. Usually Chinese restaurants that charge would be $1/person. At one point I was taking photos for yelp & she came out & ask if the food is good. We said the walnuts are stale and the prawns aren't fresh. She said "Oh".. and walked away. LOL. Why do you bother even asking if you don't plan to do anything about it when it's bad? If you can't do anything to fix the dish, at least discount us or something... or maybe from that moment she just realize or decided that we're not gonna be their customers ever again. Didn't even bother asking my parents if they want the food to be packed. We paid for it, we'd like to take something back even if we're not gonna eat it. It's just regular manners to ask. Most places just ask us themselves if we want anything packed, but not here. They cancelled one of our orders that she recommended which was a fish dish that never came. My dad asked for the bill, and that was that. They didn't even bother telling us that she cancelled the fish or ask us if maybe we still wanted it. Just billed us. So, I guess she didn't even have fish. Too bad this place has let us down, because we really do live so close and we always drive past this place when we go out to eat somewhere else. Love to eat close, but it's just THAT bad the vibe, the emptiness, the awkwardness, the strange service. Owners at this place, if you're reading my review... don't hold a grudge for my honesty, but think about what you can CHANGE to make it better, to get more customers, to gain more popularity. It's not about the cost, because people still go to expensive places, but you just have to be worth that price. I know it's tough owning a restaurant and all, just try to look at the successful places. To be fair, the egglant dish was decent but it's suppose to be "Spicy Eggplant". It's not spicy at all. We also requested less oil but it seems to be oilier than the Eggplant of other reviewers. The fish fried in lumps & the oyster pot dish is ok too. I went home to eat instant noodles. True story. read more

it's been a long time since i last ordered food from this restaurant and it was just alright back then. Since my fave go-to chinese restaurant was closed on sundays, i thought of giving it another shot. This review is for the food I ordered, a tray of shrimp fried rice. Aside from the fact that it looked like it was done in a haste, it was a bit too salty, shrimps were so scarce, and the rice was sort of sticky, some clamped together. I always thought of a traditional delicious tasty chinese fried rice. But to be fair, I have not tried other items from their long menu and i hope they do have good ones to maybe try in the future. read more

This has been our family's go to ever since they were in their old location near the Daly City DMV. I recommend the chicken skins!!

It goes to show you, "Never judge a book by it's cover!" This place looks rather questionable from the outside, but once you get inside, you even say to yourself, should I even sit down... but once you actually taste their food, everything else that you had thought off, erased, gone, history!! I was here for a private party. While I was skeptical with each guest served on a buffet style, by the time I got back to my table and took my first bite of their homemade Pot Stickers, it was legit y'all..... it was "freakin" delicious! And take it from someone who have traveled to China many times especially, to the Southern Province of Guangzhou where each restaurants battle for the best pot stickers of their life!! I was also surprised to taste that their Seafood Fried Rice was really, really good!! It was so flavorful that I had to have seconds. I'm not even a fried rice guy either!! All in all, I love Pacific Restaurant's flavorful taste, and down to earth hole-in-the-wall ambiance. It reminded me of places I've eaten in Taisan, China, where regardless which restaurant I went to, everything was flavorful! Until then, be kind to one another and Cheers! ~ :p read more

Ok. Tried the buffet again and it's new owners. I have to say that this is the best Chinese lunch buffet in the area!!! Everything is pretty fresh and can't beat the price. They have lunch buffet everyday for about $11. Fyi. There's not much of a selection but definitely worth the try!!! read more

Food is excellent but most of the portions are small! I ordered the sweet and sour pork, and the ginger beef, and it was enough for one person. I only ordered the Prawn Fried Rice and the BBQ Pork Chow Mein and those two were more that enough for two, but there was not very many Prawns in the rice. The Fried Prawns tasted great. Suggestion: ask for the condiments if you want them. I only received 1 soy sauce packet in my take out bags! read more

I've been here once before and it...was... horrendous. Fast forward 8 years? And many reopenings I gave it a second shot after 2, count 2 separate people tell me that it's actually good after the most recent reopening. We went for lunch for their $9.50 buffet. Sounds scary....being under $10 but it really was decent! As a Chinese American, I've never had an eggfooyoung? But my brother schooled me on what that was and I had my very first one at Pacific restaurant. Not bad. They had about 12-15 items, not a lot but well worth the $9.50 that we spent with the great service. Something as simple as giving us more napkins or refilling our tea without asking makes me feel valued and happy. read more

The buffet is what you'd find at most Chinese-American steam table shops. But instead of a box of rice and a couple of entrees, you've got AYCE for $9.50. The servers were friendly and efficient, taking away used dishes and refilling the teapot. And they didn't mind that we "hung out" for about an hour, while most customers were in and out in less than half that time. read more

Pacific Restaurant - AYCE lunch buffet is now $9.50. - Chinese Near Me - Daly City, California

Visited during the lunch buffet. They have good essentials if you're craving Chinese food and it's only $10.78. Their buffet included: soup (egg drop?), chow mein, chow fun, mixed vegetables, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, string beans and tofu, egg foo yung, fried shrimp, pot stickers, egg rolls, and super good fried chicken! Nice clean restaurant. I took photos after a handful of customers loaded their plates, but when I arrived all of the trays were full! Soda is not included in buffet price. Hot tea is included in buffet price. read more

Stopped by on a weekend evening. They had a steady flow of customers for pick up orders. I was able to order within minutes. As I placed my order I observed a very well fed rat casually walk across the dining room floor. The waitress walked away to place my order. Another rat walked the waitresses back toward the kitchen. She tried to side sweep the guy out of my eye line. I used to eat here all the time prior to Covid. I have to cross this one off my list read more

I haven't came here in a while since they closed for a while. Today I decided to go back and get some broccoli for me and my son it's our favorite ! I got 2 Snapple and broccoli by its self no meat nothing just broccoli. It came to 17$ 2.75 for a Snapple and 10$ for just broccoli. I don't even spend that in San Francisco ! read more

During the lunch hour this restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet that includes a soda for $6.99. I looked at the selections and although limited in quantity late in the afternoon it looked like a nice variety with all the basic dishes of fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour with meat, broccoli beef, some vegetable only dishes, a chicken stir-fry, fried wontons, fried chicken wings and soup. I opted to go with a regular menu choice instead and selected the Mixed Seafood Chow Mein. The service is very friendly here. There were two waitresses here during the time of my visit and both were very polite. I mentioned that because that's a trait not often experienced at many Chinese restaurants I've frequented. The service was okay too. The waitress brought me a complimentary pot of hot tea and a complimentary bowl of hot soup. The hot soup was of the egg drop variety with bits of chicken and corn (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MxJe-uYezCVi2qHJ9rsolA?select=jyVOmTdRc6ddsrkmCZaAgQ). Heavy in thickeners and MSG the soup was somewhat tasty. Thank goodness for that hot tea though as it helped wash some of the bite of the MSG away. The Mixed Seafood Chow Mein (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MxJe-uYezCVi2qHJ9rsolA?select=UN_1ZU6155fyQtz1TDyWMw) looked very nice with lots of crunchy vegetables carefully cut into strips and bite-sized pieces and a nice mix of seafood which included pieces of white fish, scallops, calamari and shrimp. Some of the vegetables included snow peas, carrots, celery, zucchini, white onions, baby corn and green onion all cooked nice and crisp instead of soft. The chow mein dish would have been very good had it not been for the MSG overload I experienced. The calamari was overcooked and was tough and chewy and the scallops, white fish and calamari seemed to cool much faster than the rest of the ingredients leading me to think that those were precooked and only tossed into the hot chow mein mixture at the end. The restaurant stays quite busy during the lunch hour and their prices are very inexpensive. If the bite of MSG doesn't bother you this would be a nice place to eat. MSG bothers me though hence the 3 stars. read more

Chinese chicken salad thank you for being a part of my successful lunch-pot-luck-party. Everyone loved this dish. Best part of this place, is if you're around Daly City & don't want to wait in the long lines of In-N-Out Burger you can just go right next door to this Chinese Restaurant b/n the hours of 11-2 to receive an all you can eat buffet style lunch with soda for only $7.50. Tried it - so worth it. They even had walnut shrimp served! LOL no offense, why this review is one less star is because of the ladies' uniforms and almost to the knee high socks. It just does not match the atmosphere, it distracts me! I think the ladies are twins, they all look alike?! read more

They didn't have the usual buffet, but as we were sat, there were only 3 tables seated. People gradually came after us, and got their order taken and their food delivered first. We waited 1 hour and 18 minutes for our fried rice to arrive. Our dishes that came before the fried rice were ice cold by that time. Please don't seat any more customers and make sure the customers in the restaurant get taken care of first. read more

This is my go to spot for Chinese food. They serve my favorite chow mein which is a house special and it's loaded with crunchy veggies, shrimp, pork and chicken. They have a large variety of specials for lunchtime too. I've been coming here since I was tiny tot, when it was actually located two doors over from where it is now. The waitresses have also been here since forever and they're sooo nice and easy to converse with. I wish that they served orange chicken! I'm sure if they did, it would be super good. Also, it's too bad that they don't deliver but finding parking here is never a problem. read more

This is a very typical Chinese restaurant. Prices are pretty reasonable. We ordered take out for 5 dishes and it was about $60. I liked the hot spiced eggplant and walnut shrimp. They are every flavorful. It wasn't AMAZING but it's just what I would expect from an average Chinese restaurant. We called to place the order and they definitely prepared the food very quickly so it was quick easy and affordable. read more

Decent lunch buffet. Only 8 dishes and a soup but every item is decent to good. For $11 a person, this AYCE is worth trying. My favorite was the egg roll but by 1:15 they ran out of that item and didn't restock. read more

Came here for a baptismal reception. The party was held towards the back of their restaurant in a seperate room. Bad choice to sit by the door because if the door is open or if someone walks out you catch a huge whiff of the nasty garbage cans right outside the door. Food tastes ok, however, some dishes stink (smell bad) that I didn't dare to try it! Service was ok. It was hard to communicate to some of the waitresses because they couldn't understand or speak English. Plenty of parking in their lot and street side. For parties they charge per table rather than per person. So if 4 people are sitting at a table for 8, you pay for the table of 8, so beware when you reserve tables or throw parties here. read more
