50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Panorama City

“In MY opinion the food is good but is pricey the place is ok I would just suggest for more tables but food is delicious I always go there and get the big soup and I have to order rice and flat noodles and its delicious but it depends on how people like it and money costs but this is a newer rating for the people who want it and this is not fake advertising.“

“Dine here today while on a break from work and enjoyed it so much. Immediately went into my list for favorite restaurants for a casual fast bite. I got the walnut shrimp and it had the best crunch I’ve ever had in this type of dish. My lunch all came along with pancit aka noddles, rice, and a buchi. All for 10 dollars. All delicious.“

“I first came to this place 6 years ago and remember it fondly. My options and time for food where limited at the time, and having this place felt so abundant and delicious. Honestly, it's still the same place. The food is pretty dang good, especially if you go for your favorites once you find them, and they're not trying to be gourmet or transcendent.. it's an AYCE buffet. You pay your chunk of money, around 28 bucks, and you eat as much as you want... Simple... I gravitate towards their sushi, chicken wings, fried shrimp, and surprisingly good barbecue ribs.. the pork buns have always been on par with a good quality home steamed version too. Some of the stuffed clams and creations often end up being favorites too, but that changes every visit. If you want buffet desserts following your savory meal, this is not the one, there's a few mid to bad cake squares and such. The quality and cleanliness is good, and Ive never felt off or uncomfortable even after eating too much.

The dining area and buffet is roomy and fairly crowded on a Saturday around 2:00p. Especially with lots of large families.

I think this place is worth your time and money if you are really hungry and craving some simple, good food from the cuisines they offer. I give it 5 stars because they're doing exactly what they're trying to do.. offer a big selection of decent foods and as much as you want of it.“

“I had such a wonderful meal at this spot in Sherman Oaks. Everything arrived at the table looking beautiful, especially the way the spring rolls and other dishes were presented on top of those crispy rice noodles.

The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The portion sizes were perfect for sharing, and I really enjoyed the combination of textures in every bite. I will definitely be back soon.“

“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.“

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

“I would come here for drinks instead of the food. Beautiful interior, great ambience, amazing staff but the food was meh. I wasn't expecting it to be great but I could get better honey walnut shrimp at Panda Express. Soup dumplings were fine too but not mind blowing. I would still totally come back just to hangout, it's so cool in there.“

“Yummy Chinese food in the valley. Convenient location and ample parking. Ordered chicken wings, orange chicken and pan fried noodles and Thai tea. Tasted fresh and cooked well. Kind and attentive customer service. I’d come back. (Received a free Thai iced tea in exchange for the review but this is an honest review.)“

““Had a great experience at Chowking. The food came out fresh, hot, and flavorful, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the visit. The restaurant was clean, service was quick, and everything was well organized even during busy hours. The Halo-Halo and siopao were especially good, and the portions were satisfying. Definitely a solid spot for comfort Filipino-Chinese food in the area. Looking forward to coming back again soon!”“

“Been coming here for as long as I can remember - I suppose as long as this iteration has existed. The H.Way Frontier is a place you’re introduced to early on if you’re below the line film crew in Burbank running with a rigging or art dept./set Dec crew. This storefront carries on the tradition as I’ll often bump into fellow industry crew here.
All that stuff is well and good but the real reason we congregate here is THE FOOD. There are other good Chinese restaurants in LA but this place to me is by far the best. Consistently wonderful, delicious, very good portion sizes and a nice menu variety. It’s quick (15 minutes or less) and the lunch specials are a great deal. I’m not usually this gushy about anything but Frontier Wok Too deserves every bit of praise I can throw at it. If my family is in the mood for Chinese Food there’s only one choice for us and that is right here. With no traffic it’s still a 20 minute drive one way but it’s worth every minute once we’re sitting down to eat it. You can’t go wrong at Frontier Wok Too. If you haven’t tried it you simply must and you can be the judge.“

“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!“

“Finding a restaurant that consistently delivers great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere is becoming increasingly rare, which is why my experience at Ping Pong Chinese Cuisine in Encino was such a pleasant surprise.

From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable right away. Whether you're visiting for a family dinner, a casual lunch, or a special celebration, the environment strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and refined.

The food was absolutely exceptional. Every dish arrived beautifully presented, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. What stood out most was the attention to detail—each ingredient tasted carefully selected, and every recipe seemed crafted with both tradition and quality in mind. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, showcasing the depth and variety that make Chinese cuisine so beloved around the world.

One of the things I appreciated most was the consistency throughout the meal. From the appetizers to the main courses, every dish maintained the same high standard. It's clear that the kitchen takes pride in every plate that leaves the door. The portions were generous, making the experience even more enjoyable and perfect for sharing with friends and family.

The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. They were happy to answer questions, offer recommendations, and ensure that every guest felt taken care of. Their hospitality added a personal touch that transformed a great meal into a truly memorable dining experience.

What makes Ping Pong Chinese Cuisine special is that it manages to feel both familiar and exciting at the same time. There is a comforting authenticity in the food while also offering enough variety and creativity to keep every visit interesting. It’s the kind of place where you can return again and again and always find something new to enjoy.

Another aspect worth mentioning is the overall attention to customer experience. Every detail, from the cleanliness of the restaurant to the efficiency of the service, reflects a commitment to excellence. You can tell that the team genuinely cares about creating positive experiences for their guests.

In today's competitive restaurant scene, it takes something special to stand out, and Ping Pong Chinese Cuisine absolutely succeeds. Exceptional food, welcoming service, generous portions, and a wonderful atmosphere come together to create a dining experience that exceeds expectations.

I left thoroughly impressed and already looking forward to my next visit. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their hard work and dedication. If you're looking for delicious Chinese cuisine and outstanding hospitality in Encino, Ping Pong Chinese Cuisine is a place that deserves every bit of praise. Highly recommended!“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“Delicious food. Owners always happy to accommodate my son with any changes to the dishes. They're very pleasant to deal with. This has become our new go to restaurant when we're craving Chinese food. This review is an update from 7 years ago.“

“We walked up and weren't sure if the place was open, but luckily some other patrons walked up at the same time so we followed them in. So glad we did! This is one of those Chinese places that opened when Adam was a lad and hasn't changed its approach since. The carpet looked original (and therefore quite worn, but that is literally the only thing I would change if I bought the place. I'd pay the chef whatever they wanted to stay, keep the service staff, keep the decor, and above all else, keep the menu. Traditional Chinese-American restaurant menu (quite long but mostly just variations on the same dozen recipes, swapping out proteins), but extremely well executed. We are new residents of the Valley and we will be regulars here.“

“OMG!! The food is so clean!! I highly recommend the Honey Walnut Shrimp and Green Beans. The Beef Chow Mein is Killer. They have Imported Japanese beer that is hard to get anywhere else. Saran was my server he was so personable with a great sense of humor. Great date spot!!! Plenty of open space with a large parking area.“

“Few months ago when I was at work nearby. I checked Google maps to decide what I was going to have for lunch, after checking some places and reading some reviews I decided to have some Chinese food. I honestly love when the restaurants have a lunch special. Once I got here since it was my 1st time I was a bit confused about parking, but his restaurant is located along the main street but there is a rear parking, plenty of space. Once inside the workers are very friendly and welcoming. The place is gorgeous, I wish I could have sat down and enjoy my meal there. I had some meat with mix veggies and steamed rice, so good. Maybe next time if I'm around I'll eat right on the spot. This is a place anyone should try“

“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.“

“Nu Great Wok is one of those spots you’re really glad you found.

From the moment you walk in, it’s clean, quick, and friendly — the kind of neighborhood Chinese restaurant that actually cares if you enjoy your meal. The staff is always welcoming and the food comes out hot and fresh.

What really stands out is the lunch menu. They have a great selection — all the favorites like General Tso’s, orange chicken, beef with broccoli, sesame chicken, vegetable dishes, fried rice/lo mein options — and it’s all at very reasonable prices. You get a solid portion, not a skimpy one, so it’s perfect for a workday lunch or a quick bite without spending a lot.

Food quality is consistently good: sauces are flavorful, veggies are crisp, and the meat actually tastes fresh, not overcooked. Plus, they’re pretty fast, so you’re not waiting forever.

Overall, Nu Great Wok is exactly what a good local Chinese place should be: tasty food, plenty of choice, fair prices, and friendly service. Highly recommend, especially for lunch. 🥡✨“

“First time here, and we were thoroughly impressed by the excellent service, comfortable seating, and—most importantly—the food! The BBQ Spare Ribs were incredibly tasty, and it was a thoughtful touch when our server brought over handi-wipes for our sticky hands. The Veggie Egg Rolls were nice, crunchy, and packed with flavor. For entrees, both the Beef with Broccoli and the Shrimp Chow Fun were excellent—and they tasted even better as leftovers the next day! Prices are very fair. We will definitely be returning! ✅“

“Saturday at noon. All the stars aligned. Found parking right in front. Minimal wait for a table of 6. By the tine the rest of our party arrived they were ready to seat us. Afterwards we walked around 99 ranch next door to burn off some of the food.

Our group ordered as family style and here is our hit list:
1. Sam Woo platter (roast duck, roast pork, chinese bbq pork, soy sauce chicken) - 1
2. Hot sour soup
3. French style beef - C5
4. Orange chicken
5. Eggplant with minced pork (spicy)
6. Bbq pork Fried rice“

“we come here often for their lunch specials and yummy food“

“I am truly head over heels for this place as is my partner! We can order one meal (noodles w/two entrees) for $13 and it will feed the both of us with a little leftover for a small lunch the next day. The staff is always so sweet and I've always felt so welcome here. Their noodles are literally one of my favorite things in this city.“

“Dined here around 3:30pm and it was empty, so great time to come! We ordered sweet & sour chicken, orange chicken, chicken chow mein, and Mongolian beef and all dishes were delicious! Portions are big (we all got small but we all had lots of leftovers).

They also have boba milk tea which was one of the best we've ever had. It wasn't too sweet and tasted like they actually used real tea. Perfect for a hot day.

Prices were good and the employees were friendly. Def a good place to go for Chinese cuisine.“

“We’ve been coming to Green Apple Bistro since before my grandkids were born, and now they’re already 9 years old—that’s how long this place has been part of our family tradition.

The food is consistently great, and the service is always excellent. One of the main reasons we keep coming back is Eddy, who always gives us the best service. We genuinely look for him every time we visit because he makes us feel so welcomed and taken care of..Even though we live about a 45-minute drive away, we never mind the trip because it’s always worth it.

We’ll definitely keep coming back for many more years.“

“Great food and drinks. Happy hour was 3 hours of food and drinks. Amazing. Thanks for a great evening.“

“The food is delicious. :)“

“I was staying at a nearby hotel and decided to come here. I have to say, the chicken in black bean sauce, kinda slaps. It’s a bit of an unassuming joint, and more of a takeout spot, but they do have plenty of seating. Definitely coming again next time I’m in the area! 👍🏾👍🏾“

“Such an amazing hole-in-the-wall! It is what you expect for 'Express' Chinese-American food. The food is solid and the portions are, of course, enormous! This may not be your TOP Chinese spot, but if you're in the area and want to feel extra full, this is the spot to go. Definitely worth it if you live around here!“

“I really enjoyed the food and it was not very pricey at all. Most of the plates, even the favorites at that, we’re about $15… Everything on the menu is Vegan 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“We ordered catering for a large birthday party (around 16 people) and were very happy with not only the food, but our whole experience. We called during lunch hour 2 days before and Mary took our number to call us back. She took our order and was willing to accommodate the large party/order, even though it wasn't listed specifically on their menu. When my husband arrived to pick up the order, everything was ready on time, fresh, and hot! He mentioned that upon picking up the order he met a nice and thankful staff. Our guests were very happy with the food and we had tons of leftovers for our guests to enjoy even after the party. Definitely recommend and sending a big THANK YOU!!“

“Wow, this place was good. Being located in the corner of a small strip mall, this is definitely a gem you would have a hard time stumbling upon by chance. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere really gave me the impression that this is a family-run operation that cares about quality. It's a small location, maybe 10 or 12 usable tables, but it was pretty empty even during dinner time on a Friday, so the food came out quickly, and it was some of the best Chinese food I've had in the Valley. Highly recommend the Kung Pao Chicken and Sesame Chicken dishes. Will definitely be back to try more!“

“Best Chinese food in town“

“The best Chinese in L.A !!! Always fresh & made to order.. excellent service too!“

“09/20/2025

I was here often around the end of 2019.
I remember they used to have good chicken wings. I haven't been here since then untill today, and I won't be here maybe for years atleast since I eat almost everywhere.

By the way... if you're on a budget, this place is a good place to eat. Their portion is generous and the foods are good. The Chinese lady who take your orders, scoop the foods, and charge you on the register has been very nice everytime I visit this place, doesn't matter how long she hasn't seen me, she's always kind.“

“Not only do you get great fresh Chinese food, at very reasonable prices, but the service of the restaurant is top notch. Mary and Peter are the servers and they make sure that every customer is well taken care of. With how many people eat there you know the food is fresh and delicious. The portions are big, They have delicious healthy options as well. Check out their lunch specials. We eat at Rice Wok about 4 times a month, and Peter and Mary offer the hospitality and service that will spoil you.“

“Everything we ordered was 😋delicious. These guys are same as Roscoe and Topanga Szechuwan Garden!!! Yum Yum“

“I used to frequent this place circa 2001-2002. Does anyone know what happened to the people who owned it at that time?“

“I love the new location and the Dim Sum served all day and night!“

“Great spot for lunch, very quick and friendly service! I will be coming back here to try more items on their menu, I had the kung pao lunch order which was served with a soup, rice and an egg roll. Prices very reasonable and food was delicious!“

“Wonderfully fresh and tasty. The egg fou young is superbly done, tastes like New York City Chinese food. I ordered delivery and yes, you can order directly through them it arrived well packaged with all the extras requested and delivery person was equally as careful and attentive. This is a small family owned business that truly cares. I’ll certainly be ordering from them again!“

“Good Chinese food! Try their sauteed vegetables. So good! The vegetables are nice and crunchy. Not soggy at all. Their fried chicken and salt & pepper shrimp are very good too! Easy free parking lot that's never crowded. Friendly efficient staff.“

“I've been to Asian food restaurants from Monterey Park.. L A. ... West L.A. So I was pleasantly surprised at North West valley of Porter Ranch. Golden Hunan food was excellent and service made for a lovely experience. Now I have a reason to visit Porter Ranch...“

“I love this place... ribbs, hire soup, fried and white rice, egg rolls, lots to choose from LUNCH MENU 11AM-3PM AWESOME 😋“

“Great food, prices are incredibly affordable, and they have plenty of parking on site. The employees are always friendly and quick to assist so they keep the line moving. Best thing so far about this spot though? They have Char Siu, it's one of my favorite dishes and I've been struggling to find it here. The portions are incredibly large too, probably could split it between 2-3 meals depending on how much you eat.“

“💯 % recommend go now and try“

“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.“

“This location has been a family favorite for decades.
We take everyone there.
The food options are extensive and everything is delicious. We always eat family style.
If you go for the lunch specials, stay for the soup, even on a hot 🔥 day. You can't go wrong with any of the options.
The broccoli 🥦 beef is one of my favorites as is the sweet and sour chicken 🐔. All of the vegetables are crisp and crunchy.“

“I ordered here by accident, intending to make an order at a similarly named restaurant many miles away. I called and explained what happened while also expressing that it was my mistake. I was pleased to see a credit processed the next day. Based on customer service alone, I will try to visit when I’m in the area. Thank you!“

“Hot Wok has some of the most delicious Chinese food: fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic taste. Everything tastes homemade, the portions are generous, and the prices are very affordable for the quality. Definitely a great spot when you want something satisfying and consistently good.“
