Located at the same plaza as Ranch 99 Supermarket, we chose this place for dinner after our weekly grocery shopping. The lady who welcomed us was really nice. The place is really have thick Chinese ambiance through its decoration. We were actually not that hungry but the food varieties made us order more than we can eat, LoL Beef Roll: 5 out of 5 Salt & Pepper Pork Rib: 5 out of 5 Shrimp Walnut: 4 out of 5 (the pic represents less sauce and due to the fact I do not eat anything sweet). AND since our order exceeded $40 value, we were entitled for one menu of appetizer and we picked the steam juicy dumpling (consist of 8, very generous!) Steam rice cost $1 and it was big portion and chinese tea for $1.5. None of the food we ordered tasteless, and I can say confidently that the rest of menus are not disappointed either! read more

Food is amazing. Worth every penny. We will be coming back. Generous portions, delicious food what else can you ask for.

This restaurant is so good fast service. The food was done hot and fast. The employees were very nice and patient and the portions are probably the biggest I've ever had and the food quality is so good. The spices are perfect and the prices are actually good for the size of the portion you get You have to try this place out. I got a number 23 25 33 48 so good! read more

China Pepper - Szechuan Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

I don't know why I never come here where i passed by here at least twice a month if not more. That night was quite busy and we ordered Walnut shrimp which I like its crunchy in the outside and nice size shrimp in side. Also crispy noodle at the bottom instead of cabbage. The shrimp fried rice is good eventhough I ordered with pineapple but I don't find them.. understandable its busy night. The steamed fish is tasty I like it and MSG free to be that good. Now the good part is they have Free stuff if you order $40 pre tax, so we asked for XLB. Wow the juice inside... just Yummy. Ambiance is cozy, clean and family friendly. Parking is easy there is 99Ranch market in the same complex. I will for sure be back to try different stuff. The staff are attentive, friendly and helpful. read more

I went today for a takeout order and spent $136 to give this place a shot. Oh how DISAPPOINTED I am with their overall service and food. We placed the order at 6pm IN store and was told it was going to be a 30 min wait. It was an hour....fine, I understand restaurant can get very busy on Sundays and was okay with it (sorta..) but then I saw a customer come back and return an item that they mistakenly gave them. They then placed the item into MY order bag. As a business I think you should never accept food items back once you send it out and especially give it to another customer !! Just make a new one next time please.. if I'm spending $136 i don't want none of these concerns. The food was of course cold and us not trusting the sanitary of the food when we got home with it. Bye bye China Pepper I really hope you learn to not take food back once it is out of the restaurant. read more

I took my daughters for a weekday lunch on a Thursday, and there were about 4-5 parties in the dining room, as well as pick up orders being filled and the service was still so fast! This was with the one lady working in the front, she was so attentive and we didn't wait long for our food at all. The food was delicious, made fresh, and the service is excellent. We will definitely be back. read more

Food is good. Service is friendly. The wait for food is very, very long. Lots of takeout or door dash orders. The flavor is good, probably a little too oily and salty but that's average for most Chinese restaurants. We probably won't be back because it takes too long. read more

This was Mins Dumpling House before. There are still some Mins out there. One in South Corona in Inland Empire and also one in Chino Hills CA. The menu is very much the same. The service is also still the same. There are always behind in their orders and rude when you ask them after 1 hour about your order. Mind you one hour in and we still didn't receive our order. They are always short staffed. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is cause if their food. Their food is decent. The price and the quantity is very much on par. The ambiance is same as mins dumpling house. It's a big space with less staff members. Again order family style and you won't be disappointed. Also they have good options for vegans and vegetarian folks. read more

It's hard to find Chinese food in Rancho Cucamonga, and this was a letdown. Everything was terrible ,the rice was even hard and crunchy

We ordered China Pepper delivery tonight. Food arrived piping hot and swiftly. We are new to the area so can't compare it to other Chinese restaurants but it was really great! My husband was very impressed with the pan fried pork buns. I was, too, but he is far more critical in his food reviews. They had a perfect crispy bottom and were not dried out at all! We also ordered the sweet & pungent spare ribs (7/10) and the chicken with garlic sauce (7/10). Both entrees were above average and met our expectations. Chinese food is always better in restaurant when served fresh! We can't comment on the ambiance of the restaurant, but our food order was packaged well (no spillage), delivered quickly and our order was correct! read more

If you like spicy Chinese food and large portions, this is the place for you. The majority of the food on the menu are spicy items. There are also a few non-spicy items, but this place is for those of us who love spicy food. I was there on a Friday early evening. Not many people there at first, but after about an hour, the place was packed and they were busy with take out orders also. You get large plate portions. The things that I ordered, you could easily feed 3 to 4 people off of each dish. 1. Hot tea 2. Water 3. 1 soda 4. 4 egg rolls 5. Cashew chicken (not spicy) 6. Szechuan Pepper Chicken (very spicy) 7. Chicken fried rice When they get busy, service to the dining area slows down. Be prepared to relax, just take it easy with some good hot tea and enjoy the food when it comes out. read more

We waited over an hour for our food while families who arrived after us got served first -- even with the same dishes we ordered. No one updated us or warned about a long wait. When we asked the waitress why other tables had already received their food, she gave an excuse, saying their dishes were "quicker to make," even though we ordered some of the same things as the other customers. After telling us it'd be another 25 minutes with no apology, we decided to leave. They still tried to charge us for the one drink we ordered. When I politely asked if they could waive it because of the long wait, the waitress got upset, threw her hands up in frustration, and just walked away. Absolutely terrible experience. Avoid this place. read more

Food is always great at the spot, and we get our typical string beans, lamb, and dumplings. The price is reasonable and portions generous. This is our spot to visit before walking the food off at 99 ranch (next door) whenever we go there to grocery shop read more

AMAZING food!! i love china pepper! the prices are very affordable and a good size. the food here is served family style so the whole table shares it. the service at times can be a little slow but that's because they usually have two people doing the serving. however, they are extremely friendly and never forget anything i ask them for (ie. napkins, water, etc.). the restaurant itself is always clean and well decorated. they have round tables that are good for large families, at these table there is a turn-table in the middle which is very convenient for sharing food. overall great restaurant! we cater from china pepper for our parties and it's always a huge hit! read more

Consistently good food and kind people. My family has been getting takeout from here for at least a few years and I can't recall them ever getting our order wrong. The kids especially love the juicy pork dumplings and the BBQ pork buns, but everything else we've had has been good too. read more

We went on a Saturday night around 7. We ended up here because PFChangs had an hour and a half wait. The place is pretty small. There were plenty of open tables. They have a pretty big menu. Lots of authentic Chinese dishes to choose from. We had the trotter soup, ma po tofu, orange chicken, and veggie fried rice. The soup came out first and it was BIG bowl of soup. Definitely for sharing. My mom said the broth was kind of bland but the trotters were good and I think they give you like 6 or so trotters. They were good. A while later the orange chicken came out. It was fresh fried and looked delicious. The chicken wasn't dry. Then a while later after that, the fried rice came out. It was good and I liked that it actually had veggies in it and not the usual peas and carrots. Then the eggplant came out. Big pieces of eggplant in tasty brown sauce cooked till a little mushy but delicious nonetheless. Then after a while more, the ma po tofu finally came out. This was a good portion. It was very flavorful, I haven't had ma po tofu this good since I was in LA. It was just tofu with the sauce, no meat. You have to pay separately for steamed rice if u want it. If you spend over 40$ u also get a free appetizer. The food was all good but... it was cold in there. They had the doors wide open on a cold night and there were a couple of gnats flying around the dining room. Our food took a while to come out and like I said, everything came out separately and took a while between dishes. Plus the waitress never came back to check on us, we had to ask for the check. So the service is lousy but the food is soo good I would totally go back. read more

The good: friendly service, affordable. Clean and pleasant dining room with booths. Clean bathroom. The rest: some of the worst Taiwanese-style Chinese food I've ever had. * The meat in the beef noodle soup wasn't properly cooked (and perhaps not butchered well). It was tough and the tendon, which should be silky smooth, was rough and rubbery. Yuck. Additionally, the noodles were thin spaghetti style--that's the wrong noodle for this dish. It should be a wider flat pasta similar to fettuccine. * We ordered 2 types of dumpling: shao mai and xiao long bao (aka soup dumpling). They tasted exactly the same, and not the level of umami one expects in these now-well-known dishes. The ground meat was chunky and not pleasant. * The beef roll featured a too-thick fried bread, and like the meat in the soup it was tough and unpleasant. I hate to give a small business a crap review like this, but in a city full of good Taiwanese cuisine every chef better be able to rise to the occasion and serve a quality product, even at a reasonable price point. China Pepper was a massive fail on food quality and taste. read more

My favorite human and I frequent this wonderful establishment as often as we can. This time I got some of my favorites shrimp fried rice (no pineapple), steamed pork buns and wontons in spicy sauce. Haven't had anything bad here. Love trying new things here. I also enjoy the decor which is basically a ton of red chili peppers everywhere. It's just off of baseline and easy to find. read more

Fairly flavored food, ample seating and an extensive menu with photos. Understaffed but staff is still pleasant. Our server was the only one of approximately 9 tables. We almost left because of the long wait, approximately 40 minutes to be attended to without water or taking our order. Food came out relatively fast, and flavor was solid on our honeyed beef crispy strips and chow main with beef. What slows down the orders may be the Doordarsh orders coming in. An off time before dinner and after lunch are probably better suited for a visit, or maybe we arrived on an extra busy day president's day weekend, though not all tables were occupied.. read more

I would highly recommend this place. Everyone is so nice. One day I went with my classmates and they gave us all extra portions and an extra dish as well, all on the house. They were so nice, patient, and accommodating. I would go again, not only that the food was amazing, especially the eggplant. read more

Usually order takeout or delivery via GrubHub. I really enjoy their Szechuan chicken, beef pancake, potstickers and cucumber salad. The Szechuan chicken is sooo crunch it reminds me of chicharrones! Cucumber salad is fresh, well seasoned and garlic-e. Beef pancake is loaded with veggies and oh so flaky. Potstickers are cooked to perfection with juice inside. 10/10 amazing food and prices. I'm a loyal customer! read more

If you want any service don't come here. I sat down and waited awhile, no one came. I had to get up and grab my menu and waited awhile longer until someone came to take my order. No water after I asked for some. Absolutely nothing. The food is good, but good luck getting any service. They need to hire 1-2 people to accommodate the customers. I will not be returning. read more

The food was not fresh, lukewarm temp. We could barely eat what we served ourselves. I don't know why it is such high ratings. Go somewhere else. These are the pictures after 3 adults tried, that's how terrible it was. read more

I spent just shy of SIXTY DOLLARS on THREE ITEMS. Hot and sour soup was watery, bland and just not good. Black pepper beef was overrun with huge garlic cloves. I've never even seen that. The beef pieces were well cooked but the garlic had permeated the entire dish which had massive onion slices added. Oh, I did get one piece of broccoli. Picked through to the edible beef and tossed it out. Raccoons ran from my cans so that's a plus I guess. The sweet and sour pork ribs. Oh I needed a zoom meeting with a mental health professional. It was literally 4 small to medium ribs drowned in so much horrible sweet/sour sauce it was insulting and the best part, the rib I did try was so gamey I thought it was Sasquatch meat. The finale...That for ALL that money and no white rice! What?! I was infuriated. Maybe I could have checked into that but what you talkin bout Willis. HIDE YOUR WIVES.

Two months after its grand opening, China Pepper had to shut down indoor dining due to the pandemic. But the owners were undaunted. They pivoted to online orders and kept their business going. Good food is one of the few sources of pleasure during the quarantine, and apparently there are quite many of us who are hankering for authentic sichuan cuisine. My son ordered chaushou, or wontons swimming in numbing, spicy oil. I had some pot stickers and xiaolongbao. Their xiaolongbao is not quite as flavorful as the ones from Din Tai Fung, and the skin is thicker, but it's clearly above average. My wife enjoyed her wonton soup also. But by far the most memorable dish is their Ma Po tofu. It's a deceivingly simple dish, but when it's done right, there's no comparison. Ma Po tofu is a Sichuan specialty, and you shouldn't miss the opportunity of trying it here. Service was efficient and friendly. Parking was plentiful because many other businesses were closed for New Year's Day. I don't know how busy it gets on a regular weekend. read more
