50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Amazing Food. We ordered quite a few dishes and everything was delicious! The Peking Duck and green beans were my favorite!“

“The best place in Dtla! Ask for Hiro, he was super amazing and kept our drinks full!“

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

“A WONDERFUL RESTAURANT - THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS , THE PORTION SIZE WAS LARGE AND THE WOMAN SERVER WAS VERY KIND AND PLEASANT - AN EXTRA PLUS INEXPENSIVE PARKING WAS ADJACENT TO THE GOLDEN TREE . LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK AGAIN .“

“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.“

“Ate dine in at this little hole-in-the-wall joint on a recent visit to LA. Close (street) parking was a miracle, but theres also parking (and bathrooms) across the street at the El Super. Portions for a Boil Bag were generous, one corn, potato, rice and a few broccoli were included. All amenities were provided: table paper, bibs, sanitizer, bucket, gloves, scissors for crab legs. Cajun garlic butter seasoning was delicious, not too spicy for the kids. Speaking of kids, seafood boil keep kids remarkably entertained! This place deserves all the good reviews. Our only (small) complaint is the distance to a bathroom, but it's a small price to pay for a delicious meal.“

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

“I sampled their famous xiao long bao, delicious dumplings, savory fried rice and garlic string beans. Each dish was a taste experience, from the delicious dumplings in broth to the perfectly seasoned fried rice. The service is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Don't miss this place for authentic Taiwanese cuisine and unforgettable flavors. It has the taste of home.“

“We came across this restaurant on our way to a Dodger game. It was DELICIOUS, food tasted fresh, service was top notch. We ordered walnut shrimp, garlic wings, and the spicy wontons. We are definitely coming back every time we come to the game or around L.A area“

“everything is delicious and fresh 😋“

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

“🍜 Chinatown’s Comfort Corner – A Humbling Noodle Experience at Kim Chuy

Kim Chuy is an unassuming treasure that overdelivers on flavor, warmth, and tradition. It’s the kind of local gem that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in—generous servings, authentic Chinese comfort food, and a no-frills vibe that feels just like home.

We started with the wonton egg noodle soup and a side of fried leeks. The soup? Not just good—it was built for noodle lovers. The broth was rich, the noodles perfectly textured, and the flavors so soothing that conversation at the table paused. It was a quiet appreciation of something humble and deeply satisfying, a true noodle moment that lifts your mood without saying a word.

We also ordered the broccoli beef chow mein, and I wish we’d snapped a photo before we dove in. The vegetables were crisp, fresh, and infused with garlic and savory chow mein notes. It’s not your typical fast-food-style dish—this is home-style, family cooking done right. Every bite reminded me of meals made with care, meant to be enjoyed and remembered.

Kim Chuy even offers pre-made leeks you can take home and cook—perfect for sharing, and trust me, they’ll go fast. Whether you’re a lifelong local or exploring Chinatown for the first time, Kim Chuy is a soul-satisfying stop that brings joy to noodle enthusiasts and food lovers alike.“

“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!! 🫶🏻“

“Omg!!!! This has got to be the best Chinese food in China Town. I love Chinese food. I have tried many Chinese restaurants. But the food here is is fresh and so tastee delicious. Everything cooked to perfection and well seasoned.
It looks empty. But don't let it scare you. Come on in and savor the best food in LA.“

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“Really amazing and very good food. I was a table of one and was able to sit down within 15 minutes compared to usual hour long wait.

I got the HK style french toast, very sweet and more of a dessert but it was amazing nonetheless. Second item i got was the cold sesame noodle (no chicken) and i’ve never had this amazing dish before and it was life changingly good.

Funny story but they threw away my food while i was in the bathroom for two minutes but they apologized and gave me a free meal to go and pastry. I didn’t care that much but happy they fixed an error!

Will come back again def“

“Fantastic food at an extremely reasonable price. You can easily get full for 20$. We had a huge spread of dumplings, our favorite was the spicy pork dunpling and the pork and leek pancakes. Everything was delicious and seemed hand made. Service is very casual. This is a great spot to share food with people you care about you will get great shareable food and service that is attentive without being interrupting.“

“A Los Angeles tradition. been visiting since the 80s and they still have their mojo! delicious! Personal favorites noodles in peanut sauce and szechuan dumplings.“

“Great lunch spot or to take to go. It’s a really good value for West LA especially. Love all the small dish options, feels like I could come here multiple times a week and not get tired of the food given the variety. I recommend the mapo tofu, king pao chicken, sweet tomato and egg, and eggplant. The mini buns are nice snack for the kids too. We make our own rice at home and pair with 5-6 of these sides. Feeds a family of 4 for about $25-30! Not a big space inside so gets a little cramped during busy hours.“

“I don't think you'd find a better value for food that's freshly cooked and potentially quite healthy. The Mongolian barbecue is only $5.99 a pound and I can't even buy food for that.
Meet right in front of you and available with plenty of fresh ingredients.
Not a fancy place but a good place to eat.
Highly recommended!“

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

“Good atmosphere with great lightning. Such a nice chill place to eat Chinese food near USC!
Ordered the shrimp fried noodle, which was good in flavor— downside is that the dish was overpriced and a bit underwhelming appearance-wise. Also ordered the QuaiLin noodle, which was spicy at the right level— delicious!“

“We tried pepper beef (very tender, a little spicy), chicken in three cup sauce (very tender), oxtail soup, chicken noodle soup (some pieces of chicken were a little tough), chicken dumplings in chili oil (spicy), baby bok choy, green beans, and egg fried rice.

Everything was delicious! Will definitely order from here again.

Price range was $30-$50 per person.“

“This place is just amazing i would go here as a kid and 20 years later I returned everything was still amazing it doesn’t get any better the food and atmosphere is authentic and the prices you just can’t beat you get your moneys worth and you’ll walk out without regrets don’t let the chain link fence places by the city discourage you it’s easy access just walk in the place is cash only so bring cash if not there’s a atm down the block at a check cash place“

“I got the dry hot noodles medium spicy and they were really good. Spicy but not so spicy that I’m in pain. It was really flavorful and the noodles were chewy which i enjoyed. I got it for take out, the food was ready quickly and there was no line. I would come back here to try the other stuff!“

“I love Coral Reef. They have amazing lunch specials! I paid $13.15 for tea, egg drop soup and a massive portion of steamed rice and a massive portion of chicken and broccoli. Service is extremely fast and there are always tables. The restaurant is very old school - the interior and itemized receipts are handwritten. My only complaint is I forgot to ask for an itemized receipt and they couldn’t email or text me a picture of it (for a work reimbursement). Still highly recommend. There’s a free two hour parking lot behind them as well.“

“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.“

“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.“

“All of the dumplings are delicious, and prepared very fast.“

“I missed out on taking a photo, but their beef sweet and sour pork is top-tier ( tangsuyuk ). The uni-jajang sauce is served separately and very generously; there was still plenty of sauce left after finishing the noodles. It’s so good that I'd recommend mixing it with rice as well. Nurungji-tang was so good! Love that crispy and chewy combo.“

“If you want liang pi or if you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend this spot. Other noodles were just ok. I do want to mention that the portions are HUGE, so very good value. The bowl I got could be eaten for two meals. Food was out very fast. They also sell some bubble tea drinks there.“

“Came here on a whim with my husband, and I was not only surprised by how wonderful the atmosphere was. The food was delicious and got out quickly, the price was also very surprising. I will becoming back here, it's definitely a cozy spot for brunch! Especially with the staff being so nice and attentive, can't say enough good things about it!“

“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.“

“You are at the red light. You see Panda express and want to go. Then. As you park at Panda, you notice a strip mall "Jin dragon wok" across the street. You don't think much of it until you look at the reviews on google. You notice it has above 4 star rating, and the food looks amazing. You cross the street and park. You walk into a well lit, comfortable, friendly, dining area. Fun decor catches your eye. You see freshly cooked food that hasn't sat under heat lamps long. A 3 choice combo for less than $12?! Wait a minute....this isn't real. Neither is your stomach able to consume the entire, hefty poritoned items. You choose half and half rice and rice noodles, BBQ pork, mushroom chicken, and teriyaki chicken. You sit down at a comfortable boot and eat. The woman behind the counter is friendly and attentive. If you order from this place, it has a restroom. A rare find for strip mall chinese joint. This place is top tier. Tastes like someones family invited you to their house for food. Bring friends or stop by for a quick lunch!

Parking: 14 parking spots are shared between 5 businesses.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking right in front of the restaurant. Easy wheelchair accessibility.“

“While the outside of this place isn't the best looking or inviting, when trying out the food it was good. There is seating, though since I'm a big eater and comparing it to the other places I wish the food portations could be a tiny be more, otherwise than that a good place overall.“

“Best Chinese Chicken Salad there is!“

“Fortune House Chinese Cuisine delivers flavorful, well-prepared dishes with generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers a great mix of classic favorites and house specialties, all served hot and fresh. Friendly staff and quick service make it a reliable spot for satisfying, authentic Chinese comfort food.“

“Amazing Chinese food!

I came back and ordered Egg Fu Yung and Shanghai Chow Mein. Both excellent and super awesome old school! Great stuff!

Previous visit:

I’ve been here before and don’t know why I never returned till today.

The wonton soup is flavorful. Like as if they used MSG. Remember, MSG is not bad for you. It’s a lie that it is. Look up what George Takei has to say about MSG. I’m not saying they use it here, but the food is amazing! The wontons are great and the soup is packed with meat and veggies.

The chow fun is spectacular. Packed full of meat and sprouts and not much onion which is great! So good!

The orange chicken rules! Perfectly battered and tangy! So delicious!

The tea is great too!

Service is efficient.

They have a parking lot!“

“it's nice place for dinning“

“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 .“

“I was craving jjajangmyun so came here and glad we did! They have bunch of combos so we got the jjajangmyun & sweet and sour pork with a side of fried dumplings. The portions were generous and so yummy! The Auntie working there was so friendly and even gave water for my pup. Small hole is the wall but what a gem!“

“A hidden gem: this small, un-flashy restaurant is in a weirdly-shaped traffic-island/mini-mall in the worst intersection in the world (Fairfax/Olympic/SanVicente), next to a Dunkin's and a liquor store. But the food is unreal: everything I've tried there is pitch-perfect, from the wide variety of dumplings to the salads, noodles, and fried foods. Our family includes two foodie adults, an increasingly adventurous 11-year-old, and a very unadventurous 4-year-old, and this is one of the few places that all four of us absolutely love. Particular favorites include the soup dumplings, potstickers, popcorn shrimp, chow mein, pork buns, and napa cabbage salad, but really everything is good. The noodles have that smoky wok hei flavor, the dumplings are perfectly balanced and textured, even the popcorn shrimp and chicken are expertly seasoned and fried. The space is basic but pleasant and calm. The owners are friendly and helpful, but in a subtle and quiet way, they're not going to hover over your table and make lots of small talk. They've been very patient with our younger kid, who can be kind of noisy. We love this place; it's much better than some of the flashier and more expensive places in the west 3rd st. area a few blocks north.“

“Stopped by for lunch not knowing Tuesday is special meal dayOrdered a bowl - chow mein w/ spicy orange chicken (first time seeing it made this way). I have to admit, this is by far the best orange chicken I’ve had. It has a good balance of sweetness w/ a kick of spicy (not much but enough to add on to the flavor). To my personal liking, the orange chicken was slightly crunchy but really well cooked - otherwise id rate this dish a 5I enjoyed the chow mein. It wasn’t greasy like most places.Overall, I enjoyed it. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu items“

“This is not gourmet chinese food.. .This is just very GOOD americanized chy-nee foo at a damn good price. You will get your money's worth. I guarantee. I ordered a carry out, two item combo , ALOT OF FOOD. And very tasty , I was happy . $13 out the door 😁 Try it ,“

“The food is delicious. :)“

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

“Good service and yummy food 😋😋“

“My first time visiting this hidden gem on West Adams. Their bold flavors and perfect execution ranging from cold apps, to dumplings and noodle dishes.

I tried their new Kung Pao Chicken, and wow--it's a must-order. The balance of spice, crunch, and just the right amount of sweetness made it one of the best versions I've had anywhere in LA.

Of course, the classics here never disappoint. The dumplings are tender, juicy, and packed with flavor; the spicy beef noodle soup has that rich, comforting broth with just the right kick; and their fried rice is so good you could happily eat it on its own or alongside everything else. They can also adjust spice levels.

Beyond the food, the vibe at Mian really adds to the experience. Whether you're coming for a casual dinner with friends or just craving some of the best Chinese food in town, Mian delivers every time.

Highly recommend checking it out--you'll definitely want to come back again and again. extra NOM“

“The fried rice and chow mein out on the warmer Is not that great. The portions are huge, so you and half dozen small children will be fed, but thats about it. Try the combo a shrimp and veggies with rice noodle with steam rice. If you want to knock yourself out, get the Kay Kay fried rice.“

“As someone who really tries to avoid chains, it's fantastic to have this little Chinese takeout place close by. It's family-owned since... forever (I've been coming here since 1998), the food is great (not gourmet, but that's not the idea, either), and the service is courteous and speedy. I love this place!“
