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

“We were pleasantly surprised and loved this little restaurant! We originally came to Chinatown to eat at the other famous place down the street from here, but there was a 2 hour wait there and we needed to eat and get going to the Dodger game! That’s when Google came to the rescue and we found Jade Wok!! We ordered fried rice, chow mein, spare ribs, kung-pow chicken, house beef and all were very delicious!! We are forever happy customers and will continue to come back! The owner and her son served us and were very attentive!“

“Every time I go to this restaurant, even when it's packed, the service is always excellent. Yangzhou Restaurant is almost always overflowing with diners, but honestly, the wait is worth it every single time. I also really enjoy looking at the celebrity photos hanging on the walls; they infuse the restaurant with the classic charm of an old-school Chinatown eatery“

“This is a really delicious restaurant, and I’ve been here many times. The owner is very friendly and welcoming, and I even recommended it to a few friends—they all loved it too. The food and service are excellent. Highly recommended! 👍 Definitely worth a try.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“We've been to this Phoenix Inn Chinese Cuisine for years. They've been changing the menu all these years, and we still miss their old fusion family dinner menu, including the egg rolls, sweet & sour pork, and egg drop soup. They also remodeled the place so it looks modern, and they still have some traditional stuff. Anyhow, their menu is now just like other Phoenix Cuisine with a lot of authentic Hong Kong food, and the taste was great. We ordered the crispy noodles with shredded pork, fried rice with seafood and chicken gravy, and fresh mango delight. They all tasted great and were reasonably priced, and had big portions. The service was attentive, and the servers were friendly.“

“everything is delicious and fresh 😋“

“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 .“

“This is absolutely our favorite go to restaurant whenever we visit LA. A must stop for us. Living in CA and then moving to MN, we always crave for the noodles here. We visit every 2-4 years and the soups and noodles have always been consistent. The flavors are truly astonishing! We took my parents to visit last week again, and we stopped there 3X! A few days later back at home in MN and we are craving the soups already! Would definitely recommend this place.“

“Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?“

“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!! 🫶🏻“

“One of several new malatang places in the area, Bruin Bowl is not a large place, but they seem to have a solid selection of meats, veggies, noodles, and seafood despite their modest size. Both the bone broth and the chicken/fish maw soup bases are pretty tasty too. Excellent option if you're in the area.“

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

“I really enjoyed this restaurant.
We ordered the classic potato noodles spicy brown sugar rice cake, deep fried pork belly , and a variety of different skewers to try ( mushroom , lobster balls , sausage) Everything was so good. The staff here are all friendly and the food came out so quickly after we placed our order . This restaurant is super underrated!!! I highly recommend“

“I randomly found this place when I was in the area. The restaurant itself is very cute and clean. The service was superb, we got seated right away and got our water right away. We ordered the noodles, XLB and popcorn chicken and cucumber salad. The XLB was so juicy and I didn’t expect a stream to shoot out from my mouth from the first bite into the XLB. Thankfully I didn’t hit anyone with the XLB juice. I will be back to try other dishes.“

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

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

“Just tried Guilin rice noodles for the first time and I’m absolutely obsessed! The broth is incredibly fragrant and soul-warming, with a subtle spicy and savory depth that keeps you wanting more. The rice noodles themselves are silky-smooth and have the perfect chewy texture. Topped with crispy pork, peanuts, fresh herbs, and a hint of pickled vegetables—each bite is a beautiful balance of flavors and textures.
It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for something comforting and delicious, Guilin rice noodles will not disappoint. Highly recommend giving it a try!“

“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 have mixed feelings of calling this place overpriced, but I think it is overpriced.

Because if you only get a bowl of rice and one single dish, you can maybe walk out with spending only $10-15 for a meal, which is decent. But if you start even thinking about trying a few more dishes out you are easily going to spend $20 or even $30 for robot-made Chinese food (The food is, in fact, very good.)

But I feel the financial benefit of reducing labor cost by partially replacing human labor with machines, is not brought down to the consumers as much. At least that’s how I felt after paying $30 for a rice bowl and three small side dishes.

Oh, they do give you sturdy plastic cutlery and a nice bag if you decide to take your food home!“

“I love this place great place to eat and great service“

“This place is a gem, tucked away 6 walking minutes from the Pantages. If you're a true dumpling, shumai and long bao fan, your taste buds need not walk any further. The explosion of flavors will make you want to come back. Make sure you also try the Lychee Lemonade, the scallion pancakes and the tomato and egg noodles. An A+ all around!“

“Good service and yummy food 😋😋“

“I'm so glad we tried this place on our trip. The lunch special was very reasonable and the servings were generous. I'm convinced we could have closed our eyes and pointed at the menu. No wrong choices here. The orange beef was something special.“

“This isn't my first time here. I ordered the set menu of the spicy seafood noodle, black bean noodle, and the sweet and sour fried pork. The noodles were great but I was taken aback when I saw the portion and the presentation of the fried pork. Hmm it barely covered the plate and it wasn't stacked, but the waitress brought out a bowl more while we were eating. It wasn't bad it just did not look like the photo lol.“

“Great Cantonese restaurant! My family has been coming to this restaurant for many years and the food is delicious and cooked like in Hong Kong. We had filet mignon and asparagus, sea food chow mein, Peking duck, snow pea leaf and mixed vegetables - mushroom, bok choi, fried tofu, bean sprouts, and broccoli (vegetarian dish). This place has a lot of old clientele, and tbe food is delicious.“

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

“Great value for good food. All food is paid for by weight except items from the menu, like won ton soup. The soup is just ok but the made to order Mongolian cooked right in front of you is great for the price. You can make it however you like. Lots of meat, vegetarian, with or without noodles and hot off the grill. So hot that we usually bring it home to eat and it’s still so piping hot we have to let it sit for a moment. There’s always left overs!
The buffet food is good as well.
My kids enjoy making their own bowls.
It’s an affordable, family pleasing, healthy and quick meal option!“

“I absolutely love this place! I always come with my family to dine in and we are always available to chit chat. The food is delicious I always order the chow mein and beef broccoli, one of my favs. Parking is a bit hard to get, but their is a parking lot you have to pay, kinda pricey.“

“Young King 연경 is a classic Korean‑Chinese restaurant on Olympic Blvd that’s beloved for its comfort‑food staples like crispy tangsuyuk (sweet‑and‑sour pork), rich black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon), and flavorful jjamppong, all served in generous portions with a casual, family‑friendly vibe. Many locals and regulars praise the nostalgic, cozy atmosphere and friendly service, and the menu also offers dumplings, Mongolian beef, and other hearty dishes that keep people coming back, though parking can get busy during peak dinner hours. Overall, it’s a great spot for satisfying Korean‑Chinese classics in Koreatown.“

“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.“

“Was craving Chinese food after a long day when I tried this place for the first time and it became my go to spot instantly. The portions are extremely generous and they really pack as much as they can into their to go containers. Always hot and fresh as well and you always get your moneys worth“

“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.“

“First time here and I love the buy 3 combos get 2 drinks free or another combo free (Your choice) but has to be the two meat combos. I wish they had all the food available all the time but I guess its because we went late. Loved the taste of most of the food but my kid said the orange chicken could have been better? I didn't try it so I don't know what it tasted like. Overall I will make this place my go to Chinese food place. I plan on trying other items until I tried everything plus the perks of anything free is a win. The price is very reasonable and the portions are pretty good. I should have taken pictures of my food but I was just too hungry and excited to try the food here. Next time I go I will take pictures and update this review.“

“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.“

“Great casual dinner spot! I was so impressed that the owner was there alone and our food still came out extremely fast. The szechuan dry noodles were beautiful. We also got the beef noodle soup and added extra spice per the owner’s recommendation and it was amazing! will definitely be back“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“it's nice place for dinning“

“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!“

“Very good food and excellent service“

“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 ,“

“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!“

“Egg Roll King is not only known for its delicious food but also for the warm and friendly people who work there. My 6-year-old son absolutely loves coming here for the chow mein — it’s always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The kindness of the staff makes every visit even more enjoyable.“

“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!“

“Posting this review so I can reference their menu and throw this brochure away after (Summer 2026). Great hole in the wall chinese takeout spot. Great mom&pop alternative to Panda Express. Friendly staff and make sure to knock on both doors or call the phone number to grab their attention.“
