We decided to give this place a shot because of the 4 star rating not my favorite. Place is more like a 3 star rating. Restrooms are not clean. You need to walk towards the back. Hallways is dirty and unorganized. read more

Got some takeout here. Nice flavors for the jam pong, chow mein and Mongolian beef. Kids loved the salt pepper fish, (got it not spicy). The crispy chicken was crispy but over cooked. The flavor was good but the meat was dry. Got the crab wontons on the house. I really liked them and it was well seasoned. I would definitely come back and try some other items. read more

Lock Chun is the ultimate place for affordable and delicious Americanized Chinese food. Walk into the friendly, cozy atmosphere and you are instantly greeted by one of their lovely waitresses. Select a dish or two from the multitude of choices on their menu, and they'll have it ready in no time. Each dish is delectable and prepared to the highest standards--it's 100x better than the greasy dishes you'll find at cheap Chinese fast food restaurants--and the price is very reasonable. Almost all dishes are under 10$. Service is commendable. The waitresses will have your name down by the third time you visit, and they are very attentive to each customer's needs. The restaurant has been around for over 25 years, and it continues to serve some of the best Americanized Chinese food you'll find here in the Silicon Valley. You don't know what you're missing out on until you've tried Lock Chun. read more

Excellent Food! I love spicy food with flavor and character. Eat here if you do too. Been eating at Lock Chun forever and love the homemade egg rolls, chicken salad, orange peel beef, hunan beef generals chicken (white). Tasty and Unique family owned friendly and clean. read more

OMG!!!! I have been coming here for almost 25yrs and the taste of the food has not changed...DELICIOUS!!!!!! Hunan Chicken and String Bean Chicken are my favorite.....I order these two everytime I go.....If you haven't tried this place you don't know what your missing....and for those of you who have and scored them below a 5 I feel sorry for your taste buds! read more

I've never ordered a la carte items; I've only ordered their dinner specials, which are great! For less than $30, you get like two appetizers (won ton soup & fried pot sticker), rice. and two meats (like cashew chicken). The waitresses who work here are SO NICE! :) I love this place! it's fast and the food tastes really fresh! read more

My son and I went to have lunch here today. It was pretty good! I've been coming to this place for about the same time I arrived in this country. The new management seems to be very friendly to their customers and food was not bad as well. We ordered their 'string beans with chicken & mongolian beef' lunch specials, they include egg rolls, hot/sour soup.... the taste was very similar from the old cook :) I'm sure I will be coming back for more, say in the coming weeks! It sure nice to have descent chinese food around my neighborhood. read more

I can't say how much I love this place enough. They service is top notch and the food is fantastic. The new owners are just as great and sweet as the old ones. Great lunch specials and I always leave feeling full and satisfied. The word needs to get around how good this place is. read more

Oh my God! Best Hunan Chicken on the planet! You'll be ruined for life. Mongolian Beef is super good too. Fried rice is okay; nothing special, unfortunately. Lemon chicken is average. But, they get 5 stars for the Hunan chicken, quick take out service and for being so friendly. We hope this place is around for a long, long time. Oh, and they are open when 456 is not! read more

I have been eating at Lock Chun for about 8 years now-found it cuz I work close. One of the perks of this restaurant is the $6 lunch menu which includes entree,side and fortune cookie,not to mention your food will be ready within 10 minutes.Needless to say this is an excellent lunch spot. The food is quite tasty , dinner prices are around $8 so not bad either. This place has the best lemon chicken I have ever had-all white meat and the sauce is perfect consistency-reminds me kind of like chicken nuggets.The best dish on the menu has to be the mongolian beef, the meat has an excellent taste and is spicy. I would also recommend the sweet and sour pork/chicken, walnut shrimp, mushu pork,beef and broccoli,and wonton soup....there are still items I need to test on this menu! All food comes very fast to you,within 10 minutes.The staff is very friendly and most customers are regulars, like myself. I recently introduced a friend to this restaurant and he wondered why he had never heard of this place before.I also wonder how such a hidden gem has not exploded onto the scene myself read more

Been going here for years. Food is fresh / clean / pure. Love the string beans...I ask for "vegetarian". Orange peel beef is delish & I only eat beef about once a month! Sizzling rice soup is good. Chicken salad is tasy & not overly salty. Great service. Really nice people! Wish they were open Sundays! read more

A small restaurant. A typical Chinese family-run restaurant. The food is tasty and pretty good. We like the Peking spareribs, Lobster sauce shrimp, Black bean shrimp/chicken, Orange peel beef, Sweet /sour shrimp/pork, Combination chow fun.... The prices are pretty good. The food may be Americanized but it tastes pretty good. The egg roll and hot/sour soup are okay. The food tastes better than many of the other Chinese restaurants in this area. read more

So happy we still have a place for good Szechuan style Chinese food in the neighborhood. Seems like most of the new restaurants in my area (Cupertino) are Cantonese. ( I love Szechuan and don't care much for Cantonese) But I am sad to see reports it is going down hill. We only order to-go here, so I cannot comment on service. read more

These people at lock chun restaurant are great in provideing good food with fast service they trully deserve a 5 star plus!!!

I really like this place as it has really good tasting food with good portions at a fairprice. That shouldn't be interpreted as criticism, because they are always good and there are plenty of Chinese restaurants in the are that are in fact BAD. Even better, is this place is GREAT for lunch, with really tasty food served up hot and sure to fill you up for a reasonable price. Of particular note are the set dinners for take out. These are a bargain for a hungry group of people, and the staff there are very very nice. I like this place. I really like this place. read more

The food is ok. I always get my food to go so not much experience with the dine in experience. Im originally from SF and chinese in the south bay just isnt on par with that. Better than most of the garbage in san jose that they call chinese food. read more

Best Chinese food I know. Not too oily, not too sweet, not too salty. Just good and tasty.

Just awful. Potstickers were very burned, veggie stir fry was a boiled mash of limp cabbage, and even the wonton soup was bad- the wontons just fell apart. We will not eat here again. read more

One of the worst, if not the worst Chinese restaurant. I am Chinese and I know the food sucks. The service is terrible. I used to go here several years ago when it was own by someone else, and the food and service was a lot better. My friend and I went there because we were both craving Chinese food. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and my friend order the mongolian beef and fried rice. We were so so disappointed when the food came. The fried rice was not friend rice at all. It was basically steam rice that the cook had added some shrimp, peas, scrambled eggs and carrots. Friend rice is really easy to cook. All you have to do is heat up the wok really not and put some rice in it and stir it around. The rice I had was awful. It didn't have the color or smell like friend rice. The service is horrible. There are 2 waitresses there. The skinny one with long hair is nice, but the chunkier one with the mullek, who looks like a dyke has no customer service skills at all. The customers who waited to get seated were not greeted. They just ignored the customers for about 5 minutes before acknowledging that they were there. We never got our waters refilled. The waitresses saw that our water glasses were emptied multiple times, but never refilled them. Bottom line, the food here sucks. Panda Express or any other chinese restaurant is better then this place. The food is probably cooked by a half blind old guy with no taste bud. It looks like this place makes good money, but the owner is so cheap that they left the place so ugly and dark. It was hot when we were there, but they didn't even turn on the A.C. It was about 90 degrees in there. read more

Usually come here for lunch and the foods are good. Love hot and sour soup and fried rice the most. They have homemade noodle soup also. Two ladies are very friendly. read more

I just went there this Wednesday , it was a very small restaurant, I had the homemade noodle soup and egg rolls. The homemade noodle soup was very good, the taste of the noodle are chewy. read more

This place is always our go to place when we feel like Chinese food. We love their fast service and they are always open during all holidays . I highly recommend ! read more

Good and cheap chinese food! Nothing really special about this place but they're good and cheap, what more can you ask for? They also have friendly service and we all know how hard that is to come by with some asian restaurants. read more

We thought the food here was OK. It was cooked well and had reasonable ratios of veg/protein/starch. It was kind of bland and I thought tasted of MSG. It was our first visit and though there was nothing wrong with it, it was not compelling enough for a return visit. read more

Nasty place to eat!! We used to be regulars with the previous ownership but it has changed a lot. The owners kids are always hanging out doing their homework at the back table coughing and picking their noses (this was about 1 month ago) Today we went back and we saw the waitress rolling and preparing the egg rolls at the same table with her bare hands and rolling them right on the glass top of the table. By the way we saw the cockroaches on the wall too!!! read more

visit lock chun often since its next to my work, but just to sum it up now that i am relocating jobs I will continue to go there even though its about 1/2 hr away from my home in SJ read more

I don't often eat Chinese food but when I do, I'll be coming here from now on. Simply delicious!

Roaches of different shapes and sizes, if you like to share your dinner table with roaches then this is the place. Growing up in Asia I'm used to seeing roaches but not on the dinner table. Yuck. The food... this is not "Chinese food" is as Chinese as "Taco Bell" is Mexican. Real Chinese food is not all sweet and is not all cooked with the same sauce. Look around you if you ever go there and share a table with a roach; see any Chinese people eating there, hmmm. read more

Wow this sucked. You bastards! Don't review positive if it sucks. I bought 2 not 1 of their sandwiches because I really wanted to do a good review, they both sucked. The Philly cheese almost made me puke. Go ahead and try this place and don't forget to tell me I was right! You have been warned. read more

Thanks for the great take out. This place serves Chinese food with tastes that you are looking for when ordering Chinese take out. Yum! They are very friendly with generous portions. read more

This place is a good place to eat chinese food especially during lunch time because it's cheap and the food is fresh. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken which came with soup and the food was tasty. I recommend this place because the texture is unique than any chinese food I've tasted. read more

disclaimer: this WAS one of my favorite chinese restaurants in the south bay, but after reading yelp reviews about cockroaches, I can't get myself to go back. :X HELP! i miss the food there so much, but i'm scared i'll see a cockroach! read more

I've had their chow mein, orange peel chicken, sizzling rice soup and wonton soup - all delicious but their chicken tastes weird...

Crispy chicken is to die for. My family love to eat in these restaurant. We are treated like family.

Great hope in the wall Chinese place. The food was pretty tasty without being overly salted. This is one of our go-to takeout places during the week. read more

I've been coming here for a while since I work down the street. The food is delicious and cooked fresh. My usual lemon chicken and fried rice along with the cream cheese wontons(definatly a must try). Potstickers and chicken with broccoli are very good as we'll. The environment is quiet not noisy at least the times I have come. If you haven't tried this place yet you should , you will not regret it!! read more

I only ordered the wor won ton soup for lunch so cannot comment on the rest of the menu but the soup was excellent. Flavorful without being over salty, hearty and delicate. Perfect lunch. And very inexpensive. read more

A regular at the resturant since I was a kid. The staff are wonderful and always greet me whenever I come in for dinner. The food is always consistent and good ol' comfort chinese food at affordable price! read more

I was initially worried that this would be an American Chinese food. It turned out much better than I expected. I'll definitely go there again. The price is good and the food is very good and tasty. I order mongolian beef, curry chicken and string bean. They are all very good. I personally love the string beans and curry chicken. read more

Great restaurant. The crab fried wontons were delicious and a must try. Cheese and crab filling with a perfectly fried shell. Loved it!
