34 Best Chinese Restaurants in Arcadia

“This is the place to go if you love hot pot. Good quality food, tasty, and flavorful broth. Good service and friendly staff.“

“A place that inspires nostalgia. I saw a couple of kids in there doing homework and people in the area going there for some lunch or early dinner. The kids art on the wall was so sweet and it really made the place feel like home. The soup was so fragrant and I could easily change my noodles for something I wanted. I love this style of noodle, I got the knife cut and it was so chewy, and the beef was so tender I could pull it apart with my chopsticks. I recommend this spot if you’re in the area. Because it was a lot slower I was sitting at the booth with an empty bowl for a minute, but since I wasn’t in a rush I didn’t mind at all.
I recommend the b7 (or d7 I can’t remember) in their house specialties. The broth was delicious!“

“I had to update my review because this place just got a serious glow-up! They finally got rid of those old picnic-style checker tablecloths, and the dining room looks so much more upscale and sleek now.

We came in for dinner with a group and ordered one of their set menus for 6 people. It's honestly an incredible deal, it comes with a whole Peking duck and a bunch of great dishes, including the shrimp with vermicelli, beef in soup, broccoli, salad, sweet and sour pork ribs, and a 6-item appetizer platter. The food tasted fantastic, though the portion sizes for the set felt a little light for 6 fully grown adults. To make sure everyone was full, we added an order of their famous braised noodles with pork ribs, which absolutely hit the spot.

The service was highly impressive and completely matches the new elevated vibe of the restaurant. We had such a great experience that we’re actually coming back again next week for a birthday celebration. Highly recommend checking out their new look!“

“this definitely deserves the michelin recommendation. every piece of meat was so tender and every dish was just so flavorful. i really liked the braised beef noodles. it had a cilantro taste and the bok choy was so soft. my family really liked the texture of all of the noodles - especially the fried ones. the scallion pancakes were very good and the food came very quickly. the staff are very nice and the water hits hard 😁. definitely come here“

“I like this place. $13.99 per pound of food. You get to choose all your toppings. I recommend going heavy on the meats and light on the carbohydrates. That’ll be the best bang for the buck. They also have frog meat if that’s your lingo. I tried their beef bone broth and I like it a lot. I’d come back again.

**UPDATE**
Just a heads up. If you can’t eat mild this place won’t be for you. They can’t alter the broth. The only option is the tomato broth which is no spicy.“

“The restaurant is clean, modern, and comfortable, and you can even watch the staff hand-make dumplings, which adds to the experience. The service was warm, attentive, and efficient, even during a busy meal.

If you’re craving authentic Shanghai breakfast or comfort food, this is definitely a place worth coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“Braised beef noodle soup with all the veg. Normal noodles and spicy. Imma gonna order that next visit. I ordered the above except medium spice level. See below.“

“Despite the very long wait, me and my family thought the food was very good and I loved how some meals came with sets and desserts. The atmosphere looked fairly new and nice and despite the lack of service, I thought the workers were pretty nice. We should come back one day.“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“Awesome place , didn't expect it to be sooooo good. waiter/cashier was really cool and gave us ideas. cold apps real good tostart with“

“Hong Kong style cafe. Really appreciate the customer service with good manners.
We ordered Eel fried rice. Surprisingly found some small scallops and shrimps. Another Ox Tail with mushroom sauce which with decent amount of ox tails and taste delicious. Chicken thin rice noodles was good too.
In general, the food quality is decent plus good customer service will gain return customers.“

“If you're a fan of authentic dumpling houses and bold flavors, this spot is a must-visit! 👍😋💯 It’s a small, unassuming hole-in-the-wall, but don’t let the size fool you the food is phenomenal. 🍜🤤👏 We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one delivered big on taste. 🥟🥢😋

I had the spicy fried rice (pro tip: it comes with chicken, even though it doesn’t say so on the menu). 🔥🌶️🍚 The flavor from the hot chili oil and black salted beans was out of this world. 🌎🌟✨ We also enjoyed the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), which were perfectly done. 💯😋👍

What really surprised me was the sautéed cabbage with Thai chili peppers so simple, yet packed with incredible flavor. 🥬🌶️🔥 The beef soup was hearty, and the spicy chicken dish with Sichuan and chili peppers brought the heat in all the right ways. 🍲🐔🌶️

Customer service was great, and the whole experience exceeded expectations. 💯😊👍 I will definitely be back. 🥳😋👏“

“Delicious food at a great value. Every dish was spot on and came out quickly but we were the only table seated at 9:30PM on a Thursday. Pretty small seating area with a cluttered interior but there is clearly care behind every plate. The chongqing noodles were quite spicy and numbing - my personal favorite. The crispy duck rice was very rich, and the spicy beef soup with rice noodles had a vinegar flavor that cut through but was a little lacking. Additionally the hot and sour jelly was refreshing and spicy.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The ingredients were fresh, the broth was rich and flavorful, and everything was cooked perfectly. I especially enjoyed being able to customize my bowl with so many options.

The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the service was fast. Great portions for the price, and the spicy broth had the perfect balance of heat and flavor.

If you're looking for authentic and delicious mala-style food, I highly recommend Lu Niang Mao Cai. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Loved how fresh the noodle rolls were—the texture was so delicious! It’s really cool that you can pick and choose your meats and add-ons. The stir fried udon noodles with black pepper beef, chicken abalone porridge and beef stew noodle soup with tripe were all delicious! Would recommend and would go again!“

“Very delicious Love their Lamb“

“This place seriously deserves Michelin-star level recognition ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We finally found the most original and authentic taste of 大合卤味— a flavor we’ve missed and thought about consistently for so many years. Every dish was packed with rich, comforting flavors and that authentic traditional homemade feeling that is so hard to find nowadays.

The beef noodle soup was absolutely AMAZING — the broth was deep, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice and aroma. The beef was unbelievably tender, juicy, and practically melted in the mouth. One of the best beef noodle soups I’ve had in a very long time.

The signature dish is an absolute MUST-ORDER for every table! Once you try it, you’ll understand why everyone keeps coming back. The 卤味 dishes were also outstanding — packed with flavor, perfectly marinated, and incredibly addictive. You can truly taste the care and quality in every bite.

What shocked us even more was the price — very affordable, yet the quality and flavors honestly felt Michelin-star level. It’s rare to find a place that delivers this level of authentic Taiwanese comfort food at such a reasonable price.

Honestly, every dish we ordered was so yummy and beautifully prepared. This restaurant feels like a hidden gem with Michelin-level flavors and presentation. Definitely coming back again and highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Taiwanese comfort food! 😍🍜“

“Been wanting to try this spot. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or eugh. I got their pork rou jia muo, saozi noodles, and beef noodle soup to try. The pork rou jia muo had a fluffy pan fried bun that reminded me of the bing my grandma makes and was filled with savory tender umami pork. The sao zi noodles had savory meat, bright cilantro, crunchy bean sprouts, tofu, soft potato bits, and qq noodles. The beef noodle soup was really comforting and had a savory flavorful broth, tender juicy beef, crunchy boy choy, and soft noodles. Tastes authentic and yummy, Portions are massive, and prices are fare, this place is pretty good.

Pork Chinese burger $6.25
Saozi noodles $15.75
Beef noodle soup $16.25“

“正宗！好吃！量大！We ate here two days in a row — the Guilin-style lu fen is super authentic! The homemade Chinese style pickled beans and radish were delicious, and the chili was fragrant and very spicy. If you can’t handle spicy food, definitely go easy on the chili!“

“good food with dum sun. with the time and very good. nice spot like it“

“Went on a Saturday evening as part of a group of 5. There was a small line but the cashier was fast and we quickly made our way to the front to order & pay. We ordered the spicy seafood noodle soup, black bean noodles, and sweet and sour pork. We received them all within a reasonable amount of time and it was all yummy. We found seating in the food court dining area but we had to be quick to claim seating, so be prepared to possibly not find seating if your group is larger than 2 people. The seating area can also be dirty, but I wouldn't blame that on Kyodong Noodle.“

“非常道地的美食，口味適中。老闆娘及服務生都很親切。“

“Yummy ! We love this place because of their delicious mango mochi and almost everything they serve are awesome . I Highly recommend this place .❤️👍👍👍“

“A cozy and homey casual noodle restaurant. They serve classic comfort food and have decent portions and good value. Simple menu and delicious food that is satisfying. The noodles came with lots of meat and was well seasoned. The interior is very clean and the staff are friendly. No credit cards under $25, but they take Venmo and Zelle.“

“Another of our family’s go to lunch choices. Their combo lunch includes a main dish, one side, egg and a drink. Great combo! I tend to push myself to finish my order buts it’s a lot of food.
My favorite is the yellow beef brisket combo while my kids like their boneless chicken combo.
Great place, must visit.
Also, they have new menus and with a number of new dishes to try.“

“烤鴨很好吃 不過停車可能有點困難⋯⋯“

“Pretty good dim sum. Better before the pandemic.“

“Really delicious beef noodle soup. Their food overall is pretty good and the portions of the noodle is big but they give you so little beef. Yummy drinks too. However when they clean the tables the smell is so strong it smells like a hospital. But overall great food.“

“Great selection of foods. Self service with variety of selections. Clean restrooms. Plenty of parking. You can also shop at ranch 99. Outside of the square are other restaurants too. Wide area to have families and friends get together. Unfortunately with today's inflation nothing is cheap anymore.“

“Best egg tarts in town. It’s carb worthy. Love the mini fruit tarts, pineapple buns, scallion buns, thick toast as well.“

“Got food to eat before going to a movie there. The young men that were working that night we're very generous with the portions. They were also very friendly. The next time we're out here visiting our son we will definitely stop here again. More food and friendlier people than back home in Minnesota.“

“食物好吃，環境也可以，經濟又實惠！“

“There are a lot of amazing restaurants in Los Angeles. The Barn is my favorite.

The concept: a no frill take on the very best of Asian foods from Japan, China and Korea.

Service: the service at the Barn is amazing. The waiters that work there are all cool and welcoming when you come in, although,
It’s not a red carpet kind of place m, they know you are there for the food! They’ve managed to reduce a number of steps which allows you to get your foods faster. Ordering is done on your mobile device via a QR code by your table. Almost as soon as you ‘submit your order,’ food starts arriving! I absolutely love this and wish more restaurants would adopt this. The waiters regularly come by and are always more than happy to grab something out missed it. Clicking ‘request check’ on the mobile device and they will bring the ticket by promptly.

Food:
The absolute highlight of the barn is the chefs creations. The Green Beans are absolutely to die for. I don’t know what the special ingredients they use are, but my mouth is watering thinking about this speciality! They offer yakitori; the teriyaki chicken is a favorite along with the wagyu beef. The bacon wrapped asparagus is on the regular order list, along with the cheese corn which is some of the best I’ve had. I don’t get it every time I’m there but the spicy firecracker chicken wings are amazing!

Ambiance:
A single row of tables line the restaurant adorn with cool decorations throughout the restaurant. One of my favorite things about visiting the barn is the eclectic choice of music they play which changes up every night.

Wish I could give The Barn 35 out of 5 stars but they only allow me to select five stars. Hope you get to try it out and enjoy it as well!“
