A Year of Good Eating in the Bay Area 😋 | Curated Favorites
Here’s my roundup of top Chinese restaurant picks across the South Bay — tried, tasted, and totally recommended! 1️⃣ Hunan Impression 📍 5152 Moorpark Ave #30, San Jose ⭐ 5/5 | 💰 $40+ Fresh seafood & river fish, wok hei in every stir-fry 🌶️🔥. A bit pricey but consistently delicious. No regrets! 2️⃣ Ping’s Bistro (Yunnan Cuisine) 📍 10700 S De Anza Blvd, Cupertino ⭐ 5/5 | 💰 $40+ Diverse menu, fragrant dishes. The photo shows almost everything we ordered — and it was all amazing! 3️⃣ Hunan House 📍 122 S Sunnyvale Ave, Sunnyvale ⭐ 3/5 | 💰 $25+ Budget-friendly and fast. Great for casual meals, though dishes can feel repetitive and less refined. 4️⃣ Liu’s Porridge (Taiwanese) 📍 1706 N Milpitas Blvd, Milpitas (also in Fremont) ⭐ 3/5 | 💰 $15+ Super affordable, quick bites. Unlimited porridge (but rumors about reuse 👀). 5️⃣ Wei’s Fish 📍 10520 S De Anza Blvd, Cupertino ⭐ 4/5 | 💰 $20+ Better than the chain in China! Fluffy rice, no heavy MSG aftertaste. 6️⃣ Mala Town 📍 438 Barber Ln, Milpitas ⭐ 4/5 | 💰 $20+ Build-your-own mala tang or mala ban! Great broths, friendly staff — well-trained and warm. 7️⃣ Hankow Cuisine (Hubei + BBQ) 📍 1071 S De Anza Blvd, San Jose ⭐ 3/5 | 💰 $25+ Brought by a Hubei friend — homestyle flavors that hit the spot. Also serves late-night skewers! #BayAreaEats #ChineseFood #SiliconValleyFoodie #BayAreaLife #FoodGuide #EatLikeALocal
