🍜 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.

Didn’t like the food , dumplings, handmade beef rolls
 everything was disgusting for me 
 sorry for my words but if you are not a sausage lover - you won’t like it , all meats taste very strange
 its clean area , tables are clean and if you are a local Chinese food lover you might like it but not foreigners I think

This little place's food flavor is good and 1 serving amount is sufficient for 2 people.

The restaurant serves a special dish that my family member always love when we visit Cali
the pig intestines noodle. It’s a small little place but has lots of variety dishes to choose from. We loved every dishes we’ve ordered. Will definitely come back again soon.

Most authentic Teochew noodle soup on this side of the Pacific Ocean. Every time I order from them and take my first sip of the broth it’s like that one scene from Ratatouille. This is what food is supposed to be.

This place is located in Chinatown, L.A. and have been there for decades. Their's noodle soup flavors never changed. Always authentic and recommended!

Teochew comfort food. The auntie sounds like my grandmother so I know it's legit. 😂 Real cozy and homey vibes. A little-known gem in Chinatown.

I really like their food, soups and other things, the sandwich is good and their service is very good. I think it is a family restaurant, recommended, but the only bad and unpleasant thing is their bathroom service, it is not recommended at all.

Remarkable staff. They took fish sauce allergies seriously and even said they will put a sign on the door for people who don’t know that some dishes with no fish contain fish sauce in the broth.
The food was absolutely delicious. The price is affordable, the staff very attentive. I highly recommend this place!!! And there are bathrooms in the galleria.

Dietary restrictions: Fish allergy notice well attended

Love the noodle soup here. Have been coming here since I was a kid and they are consistent with the flavor of the broth. I get the #1 which is garnished with a combination of meats and wontons with small rice noodle soup. I prefer this spot over other Chinese noodle soup places because the broth is more flavorful than your typical Chinese noodle soup. It is a Chiu chow style restaurant so it is not your typical Chinese flavors. I also ordering the leek cakes to go and enjoy them with sriracha!
