3 Best Chinese Restaurants in Ventura, CA

then When I say we've been coming to this restaurant for years... I mean 15+ years! We started coming when a guy named Roger owned it and then Margaret and her husband bought it from him. We come here for every special occasion: Mother's day, Father's day, birthdays, anniversaries, etc you name it. They cook genuine Chinese cuisine. Margaret is an amazing chef and everything she serves us you can tell was made with love. We usually order the same things : chili wontons, steamed fish with ginger /scallions, eggplant with ground pork, extra crispy orange beef, pan fried three flavor noodles, green beans, honey walnut or fried whole shrimp, and sometimes when it's really special.. We get the Peking duck. For some reason I've never left a review and maybe that's just because I'm lazy. But Margaret does such an amazing job cooking up the best Chinese cuisine, her restaurant is always busy! She knows my family and always makes sure she comes to our table to say hi. Sometimes she'll even send us a freshly made plate of her sesame red bean balls for dessert! I'll always continue to come here because there just isn't any other Chinese restaurant as authentic and delicious as hers in the Ventura County.

Came for lunch and we had the lunch special which features a large selection of amazing dishes. Parking is easy as it's in a large shopping center. The dishes were tasty and well prepared. The server was excellent as she had solid opinions when we asked about dishes. This is always appreciated, a server that knows and enjoys the menu. The ambiance is wonderful. You will find a dimly lit dining room with beautiful wood and Chinese decor. They offer a full bar and generous lunch special. If you love Chinese food you will love this place. Definitely will be back again soon.

It is my first time here and we love the place. The food was good, and the staff was very polite and nice. Our waiter Erik with a k was awesome. The owner Margaret was very friendly and recommended authentic menu and dishes, especially the mapo tofu which was a special treat from the owner! We shared some Chinese snacks with owner and staff and we all had a great time.

The best there is in Ventura! This is a well-known hidden gem here. I asked a Walmart checkout clerk for the best Chinese in the area, and without missing a beat, she said, "China Kitchen!" I ran over there, and I cannot stop going there since. I love the orange chicken. But I also love the beef with broccoli, string beans with pork, juicy pork dumplings, sizzling rice soup, triple delight over the cripy noodles, and the house special chow fun (thick rice noodles). I recommend them all. The prices are reasonable. The service from Vivian is as good as any service can get.

This dinner was one of the best I’ve ever had the aroma when I walked in the door was a combination of authentic Chinese food and the warmth of the cute little lady’s heart the atmosphere was great so many booths and Chinese art around the food simmered in my mouth and made me want to jump for joy finally the service was amazing the cute little lady brought us free rice and a fortune cookie if you want the taste of a homemade meals cooked by your Asian grandma right out of the kitchen and cooked from the heart this is the place to go it’s tasty, fresh, adorable, and loving so I promise you won’t be disappointed

Authentic food, user-friendly menu, real people that know their guests and treat them well. I tried to save a portion of my Kung Pao Chicken for later but it was just too damn tasty. Perhaps overlooked after the mall anchor BB&B closed its operation, China Kitchen is on point. The egg drop soup, wontons, mini shrimp and egg roll can all be had in the dinner package for the cost of a couple of Starbucks’ Ventis. Check them
