Mission Chinese Food has a really cool vibe that immediately stands out. It gives you that classic hole-in-the-wall feeling while still feeling intentional and fun, which adds to the overall experience.
The food was great—bold flavors, well executed, and definitely memorable. Everything we tried was satisfying and clearly made with care, making it easy to see why this place has such a strong reputation.
Service was good and consistent throughout our visit. Staff was friendly, attentive, and kept things moving smoothly without making us feel rushed.
The space itself adds to the charm. It feels relaxed, lively which makes it a great spot for a casual meal or a night out with friends.
Mission Chinese Food delivers on vibe, food, and service, we’ll definitely be back.

A unique take on Chinese-Jewish fusion, with a dining room reminiscent of the Lower East Side (New York City).
Chongqing Chicken Wings are deep-fried and fragrantly spicy; the crispy tripe add-on is an absolute must.
Crispy Golden Mountain Roll is a pleasant surprise, as the crisp comes from spring roll hiding beneath a fresh rice noodle layer.
Tingly Mapo Tofu is an all-around crowd pleaser; when enjoyed with white rice, the meal closes with a satisfying comfort.
Not your typical Chinese — but, hands-down a winner for its culinary uniqueness.

It is a strange place and the food is a twist of classic chinese… well, different for certain. But overall tasty. We had the fried garlic rice, cold noodle with peanut sauce, hot & sour soup, pork belly and fried lamb dumplings. My favorite was the pork belly, but it came with strange presentation with pineapple which wss just watery. Not sure if I’m coming back. But overall nice experience and we enjoyed the meal.

I’d give Mission Chinese Food a solid 3 stars based on this visit. We ordered a pretty wide range: smashed cucumbers, cabbage with pistachio milk, Chongqing chicken wings, salt cod fried rice, Sichuan carbonara, and the tingly mapo tofu with pork.
The Sichuan carbonara was the most confusing dish. There was honestly nothing carbonara about it — it came out more like a salty soup. That said, it actually had the best overall flavor despite the mismatch in expectations. The cabbage with pistachio sauce leaned salty too, but it was interesting and different enough that I appreciated it.
The standouts were the Chongqing chicken wings and the salt cod fried rice. The wings were the most comforting dish of the meal, and the fried rice was easily the most balanced and well-seasoned item we had. Both felt like dishes I’d come back for.
The tingly mapo tofu had the strongest numbing effect, but not enough depth of flavor. It leaned more smoky than savory and ended up feeling a bit lackluster. The smashed cucumbers were refreshing and slightly sweet — simple but enjoyable.
Service was another downside. The food came out quickly, but the service itself felt almost nonexistent — very little check-in or engagement, which made the overall experience feel a bit impersonal.
Overall, the meal was creative and hit some high notes, but salt levels, uneven execution, and minimal service held it back from being a stronger experience.

We got the lamb rib which was a tiny amount for $31…. But it was well seasoned and tasty! I didn’t like the chili chicken either ($21) but my partner liked it so it’s really dependent on the person. Felt a bit steep for a casual spot and for what feels like small to medium portions.

Had such a great time here with a large group. Loved the Pastrami, the Brisket and broccoli, ribs, lamb and especially the pork belly. The service was great. Everything tasted fantastic. Would definitely recommend and come back again.

Dishes come out vibrant, layered, and built for sharing, which makes the whole experience feel communal and lively.
The space matches the energy of the food: buzzy, creative, and full of personality. It’s the kind of place where a dinner turns into a long night of tasting, talking, and ordering one more dish than you planned. There’s intention behind the chaos, and it works.
If you’re craving Chinese food with attitude and imagination something that surprises you while still being comforting, Mission Chinese Food hits that balance beautifully.

Overpriced mediocre food. Our chicken chow mein was missing the chicken and was bland. The ribs were tasty but overpriced at $33. Not a fan of the chicken wings, spicy numbing but not much flavor otherwise and on the dry side. We ordered (delivery) for four people and it was $150, overpriced for the quality. Much better options around the mission.

went there on Sunday night right when it opened. Not much of a crowd but noticed there was a lot of to go orders laid out. Had the brisket beef and chinese broccoli, salted cod fried rice, spicy string beans, pastrami kung pao and hot and sour soup. With the exception of the hot and sour soup which was good/not great the other dishes were fantastic. They all were slightly different in a good way….I mean…pastrami kung pao and brisket broccoli???loved it! Definitely coming back to try more!!

Sometimes we read the lowest reviews of restaurants to see why people rated a restaurant poorly. The low reviews for MCF mentioned too much fennel. We took one bite of the TINGLY SZECHUAN Mapo Tofu and realized the “fennel” was actually intense Szechuan peppercorn flavor. So yeah those dishes are very flavorful (and delicious) altho we did not find them too terribly spicy.
Great vegan options we really enjoyed the mushroom mapo tofu, Mongolian long beans, rice cakes with tofu skins.
