When looking for a full course Chinese Dinner, head over to the China Palace Restaurant. I have been here a number of different times while attending fundraising events and have never disappointed with the quality of the food. Often times when you go in a large group quality can get lost, but they maintain their good tasting grub.
They first opened their doors in 1999. For the past 12 years, they have been serving the residents of Stockton. China Palace serves a wide variety of traditional Chinese dishes including Dim Sum. Check out their entire menu then head over and give them a go!
They are located on West lane in the Weber Ranch Shopping Center.

Joe Pomodoro’s Pizza cafe is a great spot that not to many people in Stockton know about. The pizza cafe offer some delicious pizza’s yet seems rather non-busy at times, which is surprising considering the quality of their food.
At Joe’s they cook the pizza right in front of you. They offer the classic “Margherita”(my favorite) made with fresh mozzarella and the finest olive oil to the “Hawaiian BBQ Chicken” piled high with grilled chicken and sweet pineapples and cooked to perfection in an authentic brick oven. Check out the rest of the menu! Also on the menu is Calzones, oven baked sandwiches, soup and salads.
Another bonus, is they have WiFi available too! Before you go, don’t forget to look at their coupon page for some discounts!

Another good Japanese food restaurant that we often like to enjoy is Matsuyama. What I like about Maysuyama, is when I leave, I am pleasantly happy. The service is great, the price is fair, and the food is good. There’s not much more you can ask for than to be happy when leaving.
The only downside to the restaurant is that it is not set up for large parties. If you plan to take your family great, but for parties larger than 6 it may be a little cramped. However, for a nice dinner out with the family, this place is worth a shot.
They are located in the Quail Lakes Shopping Center next to CVS. Check them out.

Papapavlos hasn’t always been in Lincoln Center. In fact the started as a little whole in the wall ini back of a center off Pacific Ave. Their great food has propelled them into what they are now.
Monday Wine Nights! Every Monday they feature a different winery. Go and enjoy dinner along with some fantastic wine specials showcasing a particular winery. Check the schedule for upcoming to see what wines they will be pouring.
The food is great. I have never had a bad item from the menu, so what ever looks good to you, will probably be good. For this reason, this is a must “thing to do” in Stockton.

Wow, another great Stockton Restaurant to choose from. Ghinggis Khan Mongolian BBQ, is located on Grand Canal Blvd, by the Hilton. What is so unique about Ghinggis Khan is you pick the food you want cooked and they prepare it for you in a giant cooktop right in front of you.
Come hungry because it is all you can eat meat, noodles, vegetables, and sauces. The food turns out to be pretty darn good for this moderately priced BBQ. Soup and Egg roll come with the meal, but the food is much better.

Manny’s California Fresh is a cute little place on the south end of Miracle Mile. It is just about across the street from the Stockton Unified Adult School.
I really like this place because they serve some really quality food. At first glance you may think it is a fast food restaurant but it isn’t. All the food is made to order and the prices are really reasonable for the portions. The reviews on yelp, 192 of them, really speak to the quality of the food.
A word of caution to anyone dieting. Most food, not all, is fried in some way. Manny’s food is great and may just bust the calorie count for the day. No worries, there is always tomorrow.
Dine in or take out Manny’s will treat you right.
