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

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Very nice good location and parkig“

“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!“

“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“

“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!! 🫶🏻“

“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 .“

“🍜 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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“We love coming here for dim sum for years. Now, with new ownership and the addition of soup dumplings, it becomes a go-to place in LA. San Gabriel may still have the best dim sum, but CBS is a closer drive with a good choice of freshly made dim sum.“

“Tasty food reasonable price!!“

“everything is delicious and fresh 😋“

“Dan modern Chinese was a pleasant surprise as the person who brought me told me it was better then din tai fung. It was not as good but the food was solid, the dumplings were great and so was the salt and pepper beef. Would come here with a date or a friend for a casual meal.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The fact that they are 4.2 and not near 4.8 really makes me upset cause this is probably the best quality and reasonable price. Best service, amazing fresh taste, and even lunch specials. Been going here since I was a kid. The only reason it’s not five stars is cause some of you don’t rate when you should. I’m looking at you fellow Koreans, let’s do better for our community and rate well when it’s deserved.“

“I ate here for lunch, just before the rush. Located inside the iconic Grand Central Market, I finally gave China Cafe a chance. The open-air food court style seating is spacious during off-peak hours and patrons have an option to dine at their bar area.

I ordered a Chicken Chop Suey that comes with steamed rice, bok choy, mushrooms, diced chicken in savory sauce. My order was less than $15, which is farily reasonable. I was not expecting the portions to be larger, but thankfully I was hungry and craving Chinese food today. My order was ready in 5 minutes. The entree is freshly tossed from the wok, on top of a bed of steamed rice. It comes with a side of clear soup with sliced green onions.

The steamed rice was okay and not fluffy as they used long grain rice. On the other hand, the Chicken Chop Suey was savory, tasteful, authentic and not greasy. The chicken thigh meat was tender and the bok choy pieces were still crisp. I was not expecting to finish the entire bowl. So far, China Cafe is my favorite spot inside LA's Grand Central Market“

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

“This is a nice little restaurant that is very affordable for two or four people.
Proportion and servings are medium to large.
Depending on how much you order and how big or small your stomach is.
This may not be din Tai Fung but it's it's a little brother and it is up to par.
I was very satisfied with my meal I do plan to come back for a regular visit.
Steam soup dumplings were also their signature mark as well as their bao buns.
They give you options for soup, noodles, vegetable servings, choice of drinks and desserts.
Please pay this wonderful little restaurant to visit.“

“Love love this place great people that work there amazing food. Great portions, fresh and delicious can not go wrong did I mention great prices too. You must try.“

“I had a great dinner at this Japanese restaurant! I really love the ambiance of this place. It was so cozy and very relaxing. It feels like you’re in Japan. Their staves were also very friendly and accommodating. I really love to come here again and again! Highly recommendable restaurant! Thanks a lot, guys!“

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

“best test I've ever had...tasteful comfortable Zen surroundings“

“Authentic Filipino. We ordered the Maki without noodles (9.50), Miki Bihon (9.50), Kikiam 2pcs (12.50). Paid around $40 including 3 canned drinks. Order the Kikiam. It was so good and really reminded us of home. The miki bihon was legit as well. I liked the Maki but my dad said it should not have ginger in it. Must try little hole in the wall.“

“The Angus Stewed Beef Rice Bowl is hands‑down my favorite—I’ve had it plenty of times, and it never disappoints.

The beef is fall‑apart tender, richly braised so each bite melts in your mouth and soaks into the perfectly steamed rice below.

How Mr. Mason achieves that silky‑soft texture is beyond me, but I’m so grateful he does.

If you’re looking for a hearty, flavor‑packed meal that keeps you coming back, this is the one.

Don’t miss it!“

“Hands down, this is one of the best Asian dishes I've had! The garlic green beans are crispy perfection, the Mongolian beef is tender and savory, ~and~ the orange chicken is out of this world. And let's not forget the potstickers and dumplings - they're absolutely addictive! The flavors, textures, and presentation all come together to create an unforgettable dining experience. Highly, highly recommend! Food is hot! And service is super friendly and everything came out super quick.“

“So delicious and I loved the self rotating grill!

We arrived a bit after 5 pm on a Sunday and snagged one of the last available tables. We ordered a variety of skewers and some fried intestines. All delicious and would love to try more items next time!“

“I understand that the rice might not be for everyone, but I personally love it. My husband isn’t a fan, but I think it’s really good. I believe it’s short-grain rice, and it’s definitely cooked with butter. The pineapple shrimp is fantastic, and the chow mein is equally impressive! The orange chicken, both the sweet and spicy versions, is delicious. The customer service is excellent, and the prices are great too!

Parking: Very busy place in the evening so parking is hard to find. Unsure about the day time.“

“This little Jewel in Chinatown is the best ever! I discovered it back in 2008. I introduced it to my mother and she's been taking all my family members there since it seems to be a ritual now with the family to go there. I highly suggest if you like Chinese food this is the spot. The parking is minimum but it's worth it. I would drive in circles all day just to have a bite. And their curd sesame balls are to die for a must try and to go“

“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.“

“5-star is probably too much, but definitely worth more than 4.5.
Service is great. Place looks pretty clean and the tables are not crowding each other. Food is very fast.
I had pork belly noodles. It’s tasty. The presentation is great. A deep bowl (good for having lots of soup), white porcelain bowl and spoon looks really clean. I loved everything in the dish: noodles, green vegetables, pork belly stews，sour veggies, the soup. Definitely finished every bite and piece and soup. Delicious. Xiao Long Bao on the menu looks good and I was tempted to order—but I was almost going to skip dinner. This tells you how much I enjoyed my noodles. And I am very picky! (There’s only 2-3 Chinese restaurants I regard highly).
The dish was slightly on the salty side—but I am an ultra low salt person in my family.
The noodles seemed from dry noodles not hand made—not as chewy as the world best noodles I had in LA. But the texture was still good 👍
Highly recommended—would ask if my child would like to come tomorrow (just visiting LA—leaving tomorrow night).

Follow up: I ended up going there 3 times in two days (yes I am a very boring person), trying 3 different noodles. Still recommend all. I love a noodle bowl that came out boiling hot—it’s a Must for me. The taste and presentation were consistent 👍There are some complaints though (not worth knocking off a star ⭐️ though):
1. Second time, it was 2 times more salty than I liked. Third time I noted “1/3 salt “ on my order, then it came out same salty level as first time (ie more salty than I prefer). I did ask for an extra half bowl of noodle water, and always finished every bite and drip of my noodle bowl 🥣.
2. Third time, the veggies stems were cold, which I don’t like.

Of the three, I highly recommend the more expensive beef noodles: the extra beef and different kinds of it makes it well worth the extra 2-3 bucks.“

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“If you’re looking for a dry hot pot place, you should check this place out. It’s very tasty, and I’ve been coming back many times. They also close very late, so you can get late-night snacks here to go. Valet parking only for $5 within 1 hour.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Came to Chinatown to look for a place to eat lunch. We ended up here and ordered 2 noodle dishes - beef chow fun and singapore noodles. The beef chow fun was delicious and spot on! The singapore noodles were good but the roast pork was a bit dry. I also thought the noodles lacked curry but my husband said it was fine. The portions were HUGE. We ended up taking the rest of the food home. For the price we paid, it was definitely worth it. Waitstaff was quick and courteous.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“
