Best for classic Chinese
Panda Inn Restaurant
Near Ontario Mills • Upscale Chinese Restaurant • Group-Friendly Favorite
A polished take on Chinese-American classics with generous portions and a lively dining room.
Panda Inn is the sit-down big sibling to the better-known fast-casual chain, with a full menu that ranges from honey-walnut prawns to Mongolian beef. Round tables, white tablecloths, and plenty of large booths make it easy to accommodate families and big groups. It’s an easy go-to when you want familiar flavors but a more relaxed, full-service experience.
02
Best for seafood
Market Broiler
Ontario Mills District • Casual Seafood And Steakhouse • Best For Seafood Lovers
Fresh fish, hearty portions, and a comfortable dining room make this a reliable seafood stop steps from shopping.
Market Broiler leans into seafood but keeps the menu broad enough for a mixed crowd, with everything from clam chowder and grilled salmon to steaks and burgers. The space feels warmly nautical without going overboard, and the open kitchen adds some energy to the room. It’s a natural choice after a day at Ontario Mills when you want something more substantial than food-court fare.
03
Most nostalgic pick
Vince's Spaghetti
Historic Holt Boulevard • Old-School Italian Pasta House • Family Tradition Spot
A classic red-sauce institution where simple spaghetti, garlic bread, and checkered-tablecloth charm still rule.
Vince’s has been serving big plates of spaghetti, meatballs, and antipasto for generations, and the cozy, time-capsule dining room is half the appeal. The menu is straightforward and affordable, focused on comforting pasta and hearty sauces rather than culinary trends. It’s the kind of place locals bring out-of-town guests to show off a bit of Ontario history on a plate.
04
Best for bold flavors
Bombay Cuisine
East Ontario • Relaxed Indian Buffet And Restaurant • Best For Spice And Variety
A casual spot known for its flavorful Indian buffet, fragrant curries, and fresh tandoori breads.
Bombay Cuisine offers both an à la carte menu and a crowd-pleasing buffet, so you can either zero in on favorites or sample widely. Dishes skew robust and aromatic, from creamy tikka masala to smoky tandoori chicken and crisp samosas. It’s an easy choice when you have a mixed group and want plenty of vegetarian options without sacrificing flavor.
05
Best for steak night
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
Victoria Gardens In Rancho Cucamonga • Upscale Modern Steakhouse • Special-Occasion Pick
Polished service, prime steaks, and a deep wine list make this a go-to for splurge dinners near Ontario.
Set in the open-air Victoria Gardens shopping center, Fleming’s delivers the full classic steakhouse package: expertly cooked cuts, shareable sides, and an impressive wine-by-the-glass lineup. The lighting is low, the booths are plush, and service is attentive without feeling stiff. It’s where locals head for birthdays, business dinners, and any night that calls for a perfectly seared ribeye.
