220+ dishes · China-trained chefs
Dan Dan noodles, chilly prawns, braised pork and a hot pot spread that turns dinner into an evening — cooked the way it is cooked in China.
Good food is not about a long menu — it is about a kitchen that knows what it is doing. Ours is run by chefs who spent years cooking in China, and it shows in the details.
The Sichuan dishes have that signature numbing heat from real peppercorns. The Cantonese plates show restraint — a whole fish steamed with ginger and scallion, greens in oyster sauce. And the noodles and dumplings come from the northern tradition of hand-pulling and folding by hand.
Guests who grew up eating Chinese food are our toughest critics, and they are the ones who keep coming back.
Signature plates, priced live from our kitchen. Order two or three to share and you will see why.
Chinese meals are made to be shared, and the trick is balance. A good table mixes one saucy dish, one dry-fried, one steamed or clear, and a vegetable — with rice to soak up the sauces.
For a bigger group, the hot pot is the move: four bases and 27 fresh add-ins, everyone cooking at their own pace around the table. It is less a dish than a whole evening, and it is some of the best food in Pokhara to linger over.
Tell us it is your first visit and we will build you a balanced order across the styles.
Real Sichuan numbing heat is on the menu — ask for it turned up.
48 meat-free dishes, cooked with the same care as everything else.
Hot pot for the table — the best way to feed six or more and keep the night going.
Guests from China tell us it tastes like home. There is no higher compliment.
A full meal for two around Rs. 2,000 — quality food that does not overcharge.

Had the best experience. This is the most recommended place in Pokhara if you want to have Chinese food.
Posted on GoogleThe food is soooo good and the price is a lot better than some other places in the area. Really great mojitos too if that's your jam. Gopal is a great host and very caring and considerate with his guests. 10/10.
Posted on GoogleFriendly staff and good food. They served us a noodle bowl even when we reached at 10:30pm and they were about to close.
Posted on GoogleGreat food, reasonable prices, nice service!
Posted on GoogleAll staff was so polite and the food was so good. Was my first time there and im impressed by food taste.
Posted on GoogleGopal was amazing! All the food came on time, AC/Fan was life saving during the summer heat, and the braised pork slices were the BEST (in my opinion).
Posted on GoogleGood service, food!! So amazing!
Posted on GoogleHighly recommend, great service and really good Chinese food. Me and my husband love our Chinese food so we know when it's good! Our waiter Saurab was awesome, really polite and helpful. Thank you.
Posted on GoogleReally good food. The guy in the black dress who is a captain of that place is a very good man. I like how he explained about the food and payment method very nicely.
Posted on GoogleThe food is impeccable - authentic, very, very tasty and great value. We went back again it was so good. The staff are very willing to adjust the order to take kids into account.
Posted on GoogleTo eat here was a delightful experience! The food was amazing and the waiter was so polite and sweet, that he radiated the calmest and most positive energy!! Would definitely go here again, if in Pokhara!
Posted on GoogleRandomly found this place when we wanted to eat Chinese food. The owner and servers greeted us and were very welcoming. They said their restaurant was somewhat new. The food was very tasty and had lots of flavor. We had the mapu tofu, dandan noodles, some greens, momos, fish, and rice. Warning though: pretty spicy and some of the dishes used Sichuan peppercorns so if you don't like numbing spice, you might want to clarify if the dish has those. I love the numbing so I was fine. The only negative was that the fish had lots of bones, but aside from that, it was still very yummy. Overall, it was a good dinner and would recommend this place if you had a craving for Chinese food while here in Pokhara.
Posted on GoogleSo yummy! I ate here twice in three days. The Dan Dan noodles are delicious. Service is super quick. And the waiters are so sweet, friendly, and helpful! They also give you free green tea which is a nice touch. Will be back for sure.
Posted on GoogleReally lovely staff and fantastic authentic Chinese food! Highly recommend.
Posted on GoogleI'm Chinese and that's very authentic Chinese food, excellent flavor, bringing us home! The service was really good, real nice ppl. It is good price also, will def come again.
Posted on GoogleReally solid new Chinese place in pokhara. Give it a try! We had sweet and sour chicken and garlic prawn shrimp.
Posted on GoogleIt's a newly opened restaurant. I'm very satisfied with my experience here. I ordered the Braised Beef with Potatoes and it tasted great. The waitresses are very attentive. Special praise to Bishnu Limbu, she made my stay here very pleasant.
Posted on GoogleThe food is absolutely legit and tasty. The chefs are Nepalese but have been working in China for many years. At first we were skeptical but after trying some dishes we gave our thumbs up. We came here two times while in Pokhara. There is a huge variety in the menu, and the price is more than reasonable. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The decor is comfortable (though we didnt like the choice of music). Highly recommend to people who crave for Chinese flavour in Pokhara.
Posted on GoogleOne of the best meals I've had! Fresh ingredients and wonderful presentation.
Posted on GooglePokhara Chinese Restaurant is one of the best places in town for authentic Chinese food! Delicious dishes, great ambience, and friendly service. Highly recommended for families and food lovers!
Posted on GoogleGood food, cozy vibes, and authentic Chinese taste — everything you need for a perfect meal is right here at Pokhara Chinese Restaurant.
Posted on GoogleFood was great and the staff were very attentive. Music at the bar/payment counter should be lowered because I could barely hear the manager/owner trying to talk with us.
Posted on GoogleIf it is your first visit, order across styles: one saucy dish (Sweet & Sour Pork or Chicken Chilly), one with numbing Sichuan heat (Mapo Tofu), a plate of Chicken Fried Noodles, and a whole fish if the table is four or more. Finish with the free green tea.
Dan Dan noodles, sweet & sour dishes, chilly-style chicken and prawns, braised pork, shredded ginger duck, and the hot pot spread. Guests travelling from China say the flavours taste genuinely like home.
Some of it, by design — several dishes use Sichuan peppercorns for a numbing heat. Just tell your waiter your preference and the kitchen will adjust the chilli, or steer you to the milder dishes.
Yes — 48 vegetarian dishes in total, from Mapo Tofu and braised eggplant to dry-fried green beans, broccoli in oyster sauce and water spinach with garlic. Not an afterthought section.
Because the chefs learned it at the source. They are Nepalese cooks who worked for years in Chinese kitchens, so the technique and seasoning are the real thing rather than a local approximation.
Mains run Rs. 300 to Rs. 2,500. A satisfying meal for two with three dishes and rice is around Rs. 2,000 — excellent value for food of this quality.
Lakeside Road, Pokhara — open every day, 10am to 10pm. Call +977-9851143932 or book a table online.
