I have visited twice while visiting in Los Angeles. My first visit was Christmas Eve of 2024, in the old location. Service and food were not 5 star worthy, but not terrible. My second visit was on Nov 23, 2025 before heading to the airport to fly home. I could not have been more disappointed. We had a reservation for 5:00, and were seated beside another party at a two top. There were several empty booths, so we requested the change, but were told no. These booths were NEVER occupied during our entire visit. Second, we really didn’t have a waitress. While I was away from the table, our waitress brought drinks and never returned until she brought the bill. Another waitress took our order and we never saw her again. Someone different brought our food. My son had to get up and go to the bar to refill his own drink. Total disregard for customers, but sure had no issues sticking the phone in my face to request a tip. The only positive was the amazing 70s playlist. So disappointed. Will never be back.

Best Chinese food in Los Angeles period! The 4.2 stars is absolutely ridiculous! This is easily a 5 Star rating! The food is superb and everyone is so friendly and accommodating! Been going here for 4 years and it never ever disappoints! I grew up in NY and this is just as good as New York,if not better! 👍👍

Stunning space for delicious Chinese food!
Can’t wait to go back! We came to celebrate a friends birthday and although they had not yet gotten their liquor license we still had a blast drinking Chinese beer and trying all their delicious food!
Queens chicken was my personal favorite as well as the string beans. Honestly there wasn’t a bad bit to be had, thus why I only snapped a pic of the beans because we ate everything else up so fast!
This is an excellent setting for a birthday or celebration - you really feel like you’re in another world with all the decor.
Staff was friendly and very attentive to our large group which was so appreciative.

My fiancé and I went in for dinner tonight and sat at the bar since we didn’t make a reso beforehand. The food was great and so were the drinks. I really wanna shout out our bartenders. They were really nice, good conversation and just a pleasure to chat with while we dined. I didn’t actually catch their names even though we were chatting a bunch but it was 2 guys. Thanks for the great service! Good luck with the new venue and good luck with hosting more shows! We will be back next time we were in town!

Great food, but the service was awful tonight. Literally never checked on after receiving our food…. and had to go up to the bar to refill my drink. Probably will not return for a while.

So disappointed!! They got over on us! Ny Egg rolls had ONLY pork not a piece of shrimp! The waiter recommended fire crackers shrimp after I asked for sweet & sour shrimp. Because she said it’s too bready like a donuts. & she said ok if you don’t like it I’ll take it back & you can get what you want. So I tried it wasn’t great. Asked for sweet & sour to go. Came home and all they did was add sweet & sour sauce over that not so great shrimp which made it WORST!! Ugh!!! So mad!! Wasn’t money!!! They are outta line for that!!!
Rarely when a restaurant loses it space and has to reopen in a brand new one is the result an improvement. So pleased to say the team behind Genghis Cohen, like the Dodgers, have hit more than a home run. They’ve won the World Series with this reopening. The space itself is beautiful, the lighting the atmosphere the seats, even the bathrooms. And the bar with the aquarium - fantastic. How did they make the 40 year-old menu the same and yet better? Such a great experience can’t wait to go back. The volcano chicken, the crackerjack shrimp, and the simple wonton soup, oilfield, fresher, and improved, and the Szechuan beef got just the right spice level was.

Such a wonderful meal. Great ambiance and amazing service!
This is a new, temporary location until they find a permanent space so the space is a lot smaller than their former location on La Brea!
Our waiter was so helpful and the staff there made sure everything was perfect!
The food was good and the restaurant wasn't too packed so it was a nice evening with friends.
They do not have live music at the temporary location.

Really bad experience here. Went in and there was clearly tables open. However told us they were booked for another hour or so. Tried to order take out but at that point we felt really uncomfortable so we ended up not ordering anything and left. Keep in mind this was a weekday
