50 Best Chinese Restaurants near La Crescenta Montrose

“Compared to restaurants that are so salty that it makes your tongue tingle, the saltiness is moderate and the taste is good. Above all, the store is very, very, very clean. I would like to give it full marks.
There are some unsatisfactory reviews, but I don't think you should expect fine dining from a local takeout Chinese restaurant.
I recommend it because it is clean and tasty food at a good price.“

“It looks like a mom and Pop Asian restaurant at first I thought it was a Chinese restaurant and I was very excited and then I saw that the menu had a lot of Korean food as well. Turns out it is a fusion restaurant. It was extremely delicious“

“Back and great, Chinese is great tasting and light on oi! yummy :)“

“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 !“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“This place has a really cute vibe—definitely more of a bar with small eats than a full-on restaurant. It’s cozy, with a laid-back atmosphere, making it great for a casual hangout or grabbing a quick bite with friends.

The food is decent, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it authentic. It’s tasty, don’t get me wrong, but it feels more like a fusion or modern take on some classic dishes rather than the real deal. Still, it’s enjoyable, especially if you’re just looking for something easy and flavorful to snack on with a drink.

The vibe makes up for any little imperfections in the food, and if you're in the area for something light and fun, this place is definitely worth checking out. Just don’t expect the authenticity you might find at a traditional restaurant.“

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

“Just LOVED my street noodles. They were spicy even though I ordered them mild. Fresh noodles are THE BEST!“

“I had been looking forward to trying out panda inn and they did not disappoint. From the classic decorum; fantastic service and most delicious food the hardest decision was what two entrees to order as I was dining alone. I will be back with friends so that we can try more dishes!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Very cool interior. Lots of history with all the photos of the celebrities. Portions were big and the food tasted pretty good. Only knock I have is our waiter was not very attentive. When we needed something, it took a while before our waiter came to check on the table.“

“Service is pretty quick here. They really pack your plate, too.

They're located on a small shared lot with a few other businesses. Parking is free at this time. Sometimes, it can be full and hard to find parking. Other times, you're able to find a few.

“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“

“Food was delicious, and service was great and friendly. Ordered scallion pancake, short ribs and soup dumplings it was plenty of food.“

“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.“

“They are ver delicious dumplings, especially the soup ones. The noodles were good. Happened to try out their special flavored beers. I definitely recommend this place. It is a little hidden from the alley that looks like a plain parking structure.

Vegetarian options: Definitely options for vegans.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Old School Chinese food. Service has always been great. Servings are generous. I love their take on orange chicken because it has a lighter batter.

Dietary restrictions: I often request for less sauce since my husband is on low sodium and they comply“

“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 best Chinese in L.A !!! Always fresh & made to order.. excellent service too!“

“On September 27, 2024 I had my takeout food, orange chicken, cashew shrimp with coconut and their eggrolls. The amount of awesome food was three times the normal any other restaurant. The $16 average per meal is way below the other restaurants. Everything I had was outstanding and is without a doubt my number one restaurant in Eagle 🦅 Rock!! GREEN DRAGON RESTAURANT ROCKS!!! take out only…. Low prices.“

“I have been eating here for two decades , the food has been great in the past , but recently the quality has downgraded significantly , and the dining area is the same since I can remember, in other words it's starting to decay , it's smells like mold and all the tables and walls have a thick layer of grease, the owners are very nice and work hard , I think it needs a remodeling job immediately so we can enjoy a meal in a cleaner environment.“

“Come here for the dumplings. Especially the pork and crab dumplings. They are just as good as the best ones I’ve had. However their green beans and green onion pancakes weren’t as good. The orange chicken is different. I liked it and it’s different than at other places but the flavor is maybe too subtle but these have more meat than at Panda. They have a gender neutral restroom. Free parking available as well as meter parking.“

“Went to the area as a tourist from Canada and decided to check this place out. Very friendly family ran restaurant with one of the best Chinese food i’ve ever had in the LA area. Extremely clean and friendly staff with generous portions. Would definitely come back when i’m in the LA area for a visit.“

“The food is okay here not terrible but not the greatest either. The food taste fresh and they have all the Americanized favorites available.“

“Nice to have a new dim sum restaurant in the Burbank-Glendale neighborhood, possibly the only one in the district. Good quality food by chefs from Hong Kong, and the one-dollar lobster for meals over a hundred is a great promotion. Not the best prices for dim sum menu but reasonable. Love the beef chow fun rice noodle a family favorite. My favorite is the crispy fried egg noodles with gravy served separately for takeout. One disappointment was the sticky lotus wrapped rice which was surprisingly small and lack in meat content. Usually it would cost me $120-$150 for a family meal during inflationary times but with just little over a hundred we got to eat a meal for two days. Overall satisfactory and hope they will do well to stay open.“

“This little mom and pop establishment definitely surprised me. Most Chinese restaurants have super greasy food. Not here. Beautifully flavored dishes and the portions are a good size. Great family style cuisine at very reasonable prices.They are all really nice, but could use some extra hands, especially when they get busy. It seems to be a pretty popular spot and I can see why.

Vegetarian options: I had the Eggplant with Fried Tofu and it was delish! It has celery, zuchinni and carrots as well.“

“So good and affordable, made me love chinese food more them before. I wish I came here sooner since its 5 minutes away from me. Everthing is handmade and and i defintely recommend this place to anyone whos interested. the steamed buns bread was soft and the inside was very juicy.“

“This is my go to when I don't feel like cooking. Things are cooked fresh on the spot. The owners are very kind and thoughtful. I used to come here years ago.Then I moved away and since I moved back, I'm glad they are still going strong! Thank you for oaks burger!“

“This place pretty much has it all from snacks, drinks, ramen, and rice plates. They offer French fries, popcorn chicken, Kung pao chicken, teas, Boba slushies with egg pudding, caramel and black sugar varieties, and aloe vera bits. I was very surprised at the variety they offered. They offer points for purchases. After about $40 of purchasing, they offered $6.50 of free food the next time I came.“

“Love playing here. Can't wait to see you at my next show March 26th 7pm“

“The atmosphere is very good, it feels very domestic, and the band performance is also very exciting. The price of bartending is not expensive. I ordered a lot of food. My favorites were the mutton skewers and duck neck, which were delicious. Suitable for chatting and drinking with friends“

“We were craving fried rice and chow mein and found this on Google. Everyone got what they wanted, and when they say 3, they actually mean 4♥️ Excellent service! Delicious food!♥️ My only regret is not ordering more. Definitely coming here when we visit Cali again.“

“We were like, " I'm feeling Chinese"... Looked up a "Chinese restaurant near me" bam! "there it is!"Whew? It's a roller coaster ride of flavor. Everything was fresh. The veggies were still crisp. There was half the oil in it as other places. Humans favorite flavor is fat. They wouldn't make money without a little oil.The lady was so nice and welcoming. I ordered wonton soup. It was made just for me. Bomb!“

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

“Super yummy!! Fresh and exquisite“

“If you take the time to be an Actual customer and come back to eat at wester wok , you'll find the staff smiling and always willing to Accommodate you with whatever questions you have about the dish even if your vegetarian ?. Thanks for always trusting Llanos grease to service your location. Food is top-notch. Try the orange chicken.“

“Delicious desserts, drinks, and food at this smaller yet mighty location of Phoenix! The mixed fruit drink is still amazing and the best thing ever. We got spicy salt chicken wings, chow fun, beef noodle soup, green beans, and a spicy szechuan dumpling dish. All were great, my favorites were the chow fun and chicken wings.

Parking: Same plaza as Ace, starbucks, and other shops“

“Absolutely love this place! Not the fanciest, but the prices are great, the potions can’t be beat, and the man who owns the place is so kind. Cash only and no delivery are the only major downsides, but for take out it is my go-to Chinese place.“

“This was our first time here and we greatly enjoyed our meal. The server let us know how to order - broth was through her and other foods through the app. It was all super easy. We ordered two meats, three veggies, and a noodle for the two of us and it was the perfect amount of food to be full without going too far over the edge. You can even take your leftover broth home if you want. We had a good time with the hot pot, making our own dipping sauces, and trying the complimentary snacks/desserts.She recommended half spicy and half not since it was our first time. We did bone broth half not spicy, half medium. Honestly the medium was a totally manageable level, never too spicy, and all of our dipping sauces were full of chilis and chili oil too. It just tasted delicious and we didn't give the non-spicy side much love. Next time we'll just do full medium spicy like we originally wanted anyway.Also there was a sunny dancing show for 5-10 min at some point.“

“My go to for Chinese food. The Kung pao string beans are amazing and always delicious. Green beans cooked perfect. Always friendly service. Have only used take out so cannot comment on indoor dining. Love Grandview Palace

Vegetarian options: Kung pao string beans among the options“

“Honestly, love this place! It’s not quite a creperie in the French sense—rather, this restaurant serves up savory Chinese-style crepes called “jianbing” 煎饼, a popular Chinese breakfast food filled with whatever your heart desires (in my case, usually Peking duck or BBQ pork). If you want to feast, I recommend getting a jianbing with one of the combos (either the tea egg, soybean milk, fried Chinese donuts (油条）and/or tofu soups）. So good ✨

There are also some non-jianbing food option such as bento boxes and other side dishes. I haven’t had these but they look good and could supplement your meal.

Pros: food is delicious, comes out fast, good for a quick casual bite, clean bright interior
Cons: there is no restroom in the restaurant for customers, sometimes the AC can be kind of cold (why I docked a point for atmosphere)

Parking is metered street parking in the area or one of the parking garages in Old Town.

Vegetarian options: You can get an egg only crepe or a garden crepe with a salad filling. Also the tofu soups and tea eggs are vegetarian“

“I just go down there and get what I need for one box and she’s really polite and easy to get along with. Plus she’s got the right food for me and a friend of mine I hope and she still open today.

Parking: It’s a small place, but very good food and I like going there often on and I hope that she still open or they are open. Do you the fact that I kind of like that food and they give me a good quality quantity for the right price to.“
