50 Best Chinese Restaurants near La Canada Flintridge

“We ordered a very large order during the dinner rush. They were prompt getting it ready. A young man put everything on a cart and helped us get it into our van. As we were driving away, he flagged us down because an item had been missed. He went above and beyond! I wish we had caught his name. He was wearing a black button down jersey with the #24 on it. Thank you sooo much!“

“Food is delicious! If you like spicy can try it. If not, you can order one for non-spicy. Many different choices!“

“The best “Chinese food” (in this case, actually Szechuan) in all of LA. This place has been around for years and it’s actually gotten better since Covid. Large shareable portions, reasonable prices, great service (they even pack up your to-go), and most importantly legit awesome flavors. The green beans are a favorite, and we recently loved the cold green pepper oil chicken and veggies on skewers and tomatoes with egg. You can’t go wrong here.“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“Great place for a group to hang out, drink, and eat some food. Very cool atmosphere. Like an old timey tavern from Chinese dramas. Good, fast service. Order food on a tablet. There are options to omit scallions and cilantro for people who don't like them. You can also call the servers from the tablet, otherwise they leave you alone. Had a live performer (singer) when we went.“

“laura’s customer service is phenomenal she really goes above and beyond with making sure your order is correct and you have everything you need. every time i come and she’s here i know i’m going to be taken care of with out a doubt. thank you laura !“

“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨‍❤️‍👨🧡“

“Surprised by the best kung pao shrimp I’ve had in my life. Fresh julienned ginger, scallion, garlic; a brown sauce that showed care and layered attention - not some slapped together mass processed food. The young lady serving was kind, precise, and sat to clean green beans in any down time. Reminded me of my family in India, the women’s hands busy all day with preparation,
with the food from the earth.“

“Had lunch at Jade Wok near Chinatown and honestly, it hit the spot. The standout for me was definitely the sweet and savory spareribs. They’re sticky, flavorful, and perfectly tender with just a bit of chew. Exactly how you want Chinese-style spareribs to be. The glaze is rich and garlicky with a nice hint of sweetness, and the green onions and sesame seeds on top gave it a nice little pop.

We also got the stir-fried greens, which were super simple but fresh and cooked just right. A little crunch, a little tenderness + great as a balance to the heavier dishes.

And the braised tofu with minced pork came in a deep, savory sauce that soaked into the tofu beautifully. The tofu was fried just enough to give it some texture on the outside while staying soft inside. Super comforting.

It’s not a fancy spot, but the food comes out hot, portions are generous, and everything tastes like it was cooked with care. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and want that classic Chinese comfort food vibe.“

“This meal was the highlight of our LA trip! I don’t know what kind of sorcery is afoot here but this little spot manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts. I felt so welcomed from the moment I stepped through the door and I liked that they have you order and pay before sitting down, it makes the dining experience more relaxing and low key. Loved how short and sweet the menu was, the chef has incredible restraint and a crystal clear vision. Every single thing we had was incredible, the best hk french toast and bolo bao I have ever had, and omg the scallion roll and dumplings. I don’t know what it is about this place but I’m still thinking about that meal days later. Also, the dining room made me feel like I was in a tvb serial from the early 90s which is the highest compliment.“

“Do you ever wish you were two people so you could eat twice as much? Well after visiting here... I sure do. Got soup dumplings (superb) steamed pork dumplings, cucumber salad, beef in a crispy wrapping whose name I am forgetting, and red bean dumplings. Everything was exquisite.“

“The best Vietnamese Style Lobster and seafood! Always a long queue to be seated. Get here early for best parking and best seating.“

“A great little gem. We stopped in for dinner - not especially hungry due to late lunch but knew we needed to eat something. We split the cucumber salad - so fresh and tasty, a little sweet, a little salty. It’s sold as a small appetizer but, easily splittable. Then pork potstickers and veggie pancakes - eight of each, so plenty to share and also very tasty. Definitely would go back. Friendly attentive service to round out a great find.“

“Superb noodles with great value. The food here is authentic and very tasty. The biang biang noodles are very thick and chewy, and come in a humongous bowl. They have a large selection of different noodles and other dishes. The interior is clean and staff very friendly.“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“Dinner with my buddies here at this hotpot restaurant ordered non spicy soup bases as one of my buddies can not take spice. Overall, the food is ok. The soup was non bad, and the food choice was ample. Does fulfill the craving for hotpot. Since it the States so we were happy to find this.

Vegetarian options: Not the best location for this.

Parking: Right outside the shop.“

“Very good food . Clean establishment. Great customer service and reasonable prices.“

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味“

“The best Chinese food I had in a long long time. We have been with six, sharing different dishes - a blast. Share the soup! Highly recommended.Thanks for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who has traveled the world with the world's greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, and Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "Where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say, and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked at how people use their "power of the word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all-time favorite​ restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French​ place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers​ boxed to take home? As a dog owner,​ I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "You give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea...​ I hope you agree.So If I had a say on this portal, I would offer just to see the ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this does not correspond to "The Ritz". At first,​ I assume that a restaurant is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceed my expectations. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again. Thank you for reading this.“

“everything is delicious and fresh 😋“

“Absolutely the best new restaurant inLos Angeles. Wonderful staff. Gorgeous facility indoors and patio. Exquisite and unique delicious food.“

“The food is delicious! the rice roll is very chewy and soft, have great texture! I come back here every time for the beef brisket noodle soup, because the noodle is so so good and beef is flavorful and tender, it has great amount of meat with reasonable prices!“

“I Couldn't find a solid review to help me order but its so close to home i took a chance. Saw a Bulgogi beef on the menu which is a familiar Dish to me so i quickly ordered That and decided to sit down. A couple of minutes later, and i have a Nice Healthy bowl of Rice Topped with a heap of BEEF! It was delicious! Thank YOU!“

“Handmade with love. Tastes as if I'm at my Halmoni's house. Delicate, real and subtle Korean flavors of my childhood, not too sweet or salty. My bf and I ordered the steamed veggie dumplings, chive pancake ((better than my Sumo's! Shhh)), king sized veggie dumplings, side of rice and miso soup. Cooked to order -- be patient. Soft textures. Sweet, hardworking couple. Our fav is the steamed veggie mandu. Vegetarian friendly. Perfect meal. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶 I love this place, if I lived in LA I'd be here all the time.“

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour“

“I’ve been coming here since 2012. I LOVE this place. It’s the kind of place that’s been frozen in time, you can tell by the signage. Not everything needs to look “contemporary.” This place is timeless guys. Def recommend the breakfast burrito, just be patient because it’s cooked fresh to order😌“

“This place is amazing! They have so many things to choose from and everything looks so fresh and not dry like other spots you go to. Lady serving is very nice and fast . I mean they have fricken EGG FU YOUNG !! Made fresh to order NEED I SAY MORE ! And they have a combo family meal that is pretty damn reasonable. Will definitely come back again .“

“Great food, location and service“

“Best food, place, service and owners. Anne Ericsson“

“Wow- pure fire here - best house hot sauce ever- mix between a Mexican salsa n Tabasco 🔥🔥 very tasty- well the other bestest item were the beef noodles!! Thick noodles!! 🫶🏻“

“I googled "best Chinese in LA" and then this popped up as the #1 place. So we drove - and had a very good meal. However, if you expect the classic Chinese dishes, you will be disappointed. This is Shezuan, "a different animal". So no rice, no sweet-and-sour-this-and-that. So be prepared for very spicy Szechuan food. Noodles. No rice. Try the dumplings, they were delicious. We ordered mild (1 out of 5 spice degrees) and we were burning inside (we had two separate orders of dumplings - but spice grade 1. There is no consistency, so be careful). So if spicy is what you are "in" for, you'll love it. The ambiance is sort of authentic ;-) - the sign on how to use the toilet (outside the restaurant in the alley) says more than words. But then, it was $100 all-in for the four of us only. My advice: I could barely understand the service language. Better check the menu before you go. As we were first-timers, I wanted to share three starters and three mains among the four of us and leave it up to the waitress to make us explore - she did not understand. I asked if they served beer. The answer was "noodles or dumplings". :-)“

“Worth trying. The environment is elegant. The dishes are well arranged, tasty and delicious?

Parking: There are not many parking spaces. The restaurant is tasteful and the parking lot looks unsettling. Such a restaurant is out of tune with its surroundings.“

“I keep coming back for the veggies. The green beans and the seaweed with tofu is the best. Their knife-cut noodles with mushrooms have this fantastic smoky flavor—though the portion is a little small. Thankfully, you can swap in brown rice if you prefer.
The Salt & Pepper Tofu is a standout—crispy on the outside without being overly breaded—and the Spicy Pork Dumplings are just the right level of heat.

Pro tip: Parking is easier across the street if you’re cool with a short walk.

Downside: They can be a little understaffed at times“

“2nd ⏰️ - just as delicious. Our new Go To!“

“Overall a great experience at the Savoy kitchen. A great amount of selection of some of everything. There's pastas, pizzas, rice and also some random gems like their butter herb escargot. Honorable mention, I like their creme brulee so much I had two of them 😁.“

“TL;DR BBQ Pork Buns are 5 stars. Every other dish I've had is 3 stars.

I've had 4 dishes from here: Chop Suey, Kung Pao Chicken, Snow Peas and Water Chestnut, and BBQ Pork Buns (Dim Sum)

To be honest, I can only recommend the BBQ Pork Buns, but I recommend it highly. It is the best dim sum pork bun you are going to get in Glendale. The filling has a lot of flavor and isn't too dry, and the bun is very soft and fluffy.

The other dishes were okay. I don't expect them to be authentic, but across the board, they generally just lack flavor, which puts them below other Chinese restaurants in Glendale for me.

It is really great that they have a couple dishes with water chestnut though. So for this fact, and the quality of the BBQ Pork Buns alone, I'm giving them 4 stars.

I would like to go back and try a few more dishes. Hopefully my review improves“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant is relatively simple but comfortable. The waiters are friendly and provide fast service.“

“Located inside H-Mart. Sister went up to the counter to place our order and was called when it was ready. She got the Jjajangmyeon-Tangsuyuk combo. I enjoyed the jjajangmyeon, it was a perfect balance of salty and slightly sweet noodle dish. I wasn't a fan of the tangsuyuk so much, it had a slightly gamey flavor. It's a shared cafeteria-like setting, bus-person was ready to clean up when customers are done at the table.“

“I have been to a bunch of different Chinese restaurants as a Hollywood veteran, and I believe this is the best Chinese food in Hollywood.“

“Popped in on a whim & ordered beef noodle soup (medium spicy). It was delicious! The noodles weren't soggy & there was lots of meat in the soup. The man who took my ordered offered me a chili paste oil, that was spicy salty deliciousness! I already want to visit again to try the beef roll & scallion pancake.“

“Excellent food and great service. Family owned and my favorite local eatery. Please try it.“

“Great food, amazing prices. This place knows how to deliver amazing food at a reasonable price. All of the other restaurants that are exploiting the people during this cost of living crisis should learn a lesson from these good folks. Highly recommend!!“

“The food was great. Came here for a weekday for lunch. They are not busy at all. They mainly sell claypot rice with 2 choices of meats. There is also an option to choose daily soup or drinks with cheaper prices that came with meals. I think soup around $5 plus and drink $3 plus. After finish, we get to try their Portuguese tarts, which are quite good. Overall, this restaurant is 1 woman show. She did the cashier, cooking and serving to you. I'm not sure about washing dishes. The only things that need improvements are their bowls, have some stains and no paper napkin on tables. Other than that, their dishes are quite good.“

“Amazing food. I miss it so much every day. I used to get delivery to my house off Orange Grove and the owner would deliver himself and remember me.“

“The food was great! Ordered the Pork Chow Fun, and was super fresh and delicious. The Cream Cheese Wontons were delicious but very very small, so maybe order more than the single order. But otherwise delicious. Food was done and ready for pick exactly when they said it would be.“

“We arrived at this restaurant for a meeting. my friend recommended this place. Well, it was very nice. The staff members welcomed us with a smile and we felt fantastic. The food was just great. We loved this restaurant very much and we will definitely return to this restaurant. we highly recommend this place.“

“A well-known Chinese restaurant with a good size menu. They also have a small Dim Sum selection. The restaurant is clean, the service is good and plenty of off-street parking. The food is well prepared and tasty. We had the pork fried rice and the orange chicken.

Parking: Approximately 20 spots of free off-street parking. Pull into the driveway and park behind the restaurant and you can enter the restaurant from the back door or the front door.“

“Not only a great value but the BEST Chinese cuisine I’ve had, bar none. The MaiTi’s are incredible, if you like them strong. Couldn’t recommend it more strongly than I am. I’m a bonified foodie, have eaten at some of they operated restaurants around the world and this place is a gem and a must try!“

“Try The Indo Fried Rice… You will love it😀“

“The wonton was huge and tasty but only has 4 per bowl 😄

Parking: Front side of the restaurant face Valley & you can see the restaurant name - The Congee.
From the parking lot, you won't be able to see the restaurant name but look for the big poster of the food“
