Chinese Restaurants near Sun Valley

“We went here for the first time on New Years Eve. . . I noticed the atmosphere is not your typical chinese restaurant. . . we ordered the assorted app plate, tofu with black bean sauce, seafood plate and egg fu yung. . .
The apps were good. . and served as a pu pu platter setup. . I'm not sure if they know what that is out here, but it's very popular on the east coast. . .
The main dishes arrived. I was expecting something different, but was quite pleased with the food after all. The ingredients used are fresh veggies, broccoli, bok choi, etc. . . we ordered alot and ate alot. Me and my wife agreed it was a very healthy meal really. . . surprisingly so. . . I was a little let down by the tofu and black bean plate, but my wife was happy with it. . . a few veggies or something in there wouldn't go amiss. . anyway, we will return at a later date. I do suggest this place as a healthier option to the normal chinese food you might get elsewhere. . The service was very good as well. Friendly. I noticed many of the people who came in were regulars. . . this restaurant also has a family type feel to it. . we'll return in the future. . .“

“I usually order the plate and get half chow mein noodles and half fried rice for carbs and for meats, I get kung Pao chicken and mushroom chicken. The food here is good for fast Chinese takeout. I order thru the app which is a total convenience and just pick up when the order is ready. No lines or people to deal with.“

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

“Delicious Chinese food with unique menu items all delivered in a fantastic old school Hollywood atmosphere. From the pictures on the wall of the great stars of the past and the booths where Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Burt Reynolds hung out, you can feel the history and reminisce about the past. The boa, lettuce wraps, scallion pancakes, fried tofu, and chicken salad all were excellent choices. They also had great drink choices. The only downside was that parking was in a paid parking lot and the restaurant prices were very high.“

“We visited this location for the second time today, and enjoyed it just as much as the first time we went to eat there. The Sherman Oaks location is one of the nicest P.F. Chang’s around, as we’ve been to quite a few in Southern California. Staff is always polite and professional, and I want to give a big “thank you” to our server, Aliyah. She was so friendly, sweet, accommodating, and is exceptionally good at her job, and it really showed! We’ve had some good and bad dinning experiences at other restaurants in the past, so it’s nice and refreshing to know that people like Aliyah truly care about the customer experience. It also reflects well on the management—that being, they spend the time and effort in training and employing great staff like her.

See you again, sometime in the future.“

“Great food, location and service“

“Fantastic food at an extremely reasonable price. You can easily get full for 20$. We had a huge spread of dumplings, our favorite was the spicy pork dunpling and the pork and leek pancakes. Everything was delicious and seemed hand made. Service is very casual. This is a great spot to share food with people you care about you will get great shareable food and service that is attentive without being interrupting.“

“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.“

“A well-known Chinese restaurant with a good size menu. They also have a small Dim Sum selection. The restaurant is clean, the service is good and plenty of off-street parking. The food is well prepared and tasty. We had the pork fried rice and the orange chicken.

Parking: Approximately 20 spots of free off-street parking. Pull into the driveway and park behind the restaurant and you can enter the restaurant from the back door or the front door.“

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

“My first time coming to Ping Pong and I really enjoyed my experience! The place is nestled in a busy shopping mall but inside it was very clean and well decorated. The food was great! Plenty of options with the option to share everything with the spin glass in the center! We definitely got our money's worth today! Lastly, the service was very polite and friendly!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My new favorite Chinese food!\nWe had the food delivered last night. I saw a recommendation for the restaurant on line and was it ever a great discovery! We had sweet and sour soup, mu shu pork, sweet and pungent shrimp, sesame beef and Buddha’ delight vegetables. Every bite was pure delight! I’ve been looking for a new Chinese place since my old favorite went out of business. I will look no further!“

“This is my first time ordering from Golden City Chinese food.
I don't normally post about food establishments. I could not help myself due to the quality of the food amongst other things listed below 👇🏽.
1. I placed my phone order and the customer service is TOP TIER
2. My delivery order was very smooth and the young man that delivered my food was very kind!
My food was FRESH AND PREPARED TO PERFECTION! I WILL ORDER MY CHINESE FOOD FROM Golden City Chinese ONLY from now on!
EVERYTHING I ORDERED IS A 10/10.
Thank you Golden City Chinese..The BEST HIDDEN SECRET IN THE ENTIRE VALLEY!
🤗🫠💯“

“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.“

“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 ,“

“I'm obsessed with this Chinese spot! The front desk is welcoming and the place is spotless. The salt and pepper shrimp is a must-try - the shell is perfectly crispy, and the shrimp inside is tender and juicy. It's so good, you can just pop the whole thing in your mouth! Highly recommend to everyone! Must try.“

“The food is delicious. :)“

“Five years ago, on a rainy afternoon in Los Angeles - the kind that sneaks into your shoes and makes umbrellas feel hilariously inadequate - my partner and I had just finished errands at a local bank in Studio City. The streets gleamed under a stubborn drizzle, and, hungry and thoroughly soaked, we went searching for shelter. We slipped into the nearby Green Apple China Bistro, like two weary ships at last finding safe harbor in a gentle sea of rain.\n\nWarmth wrapped around us instantly - the fragrant swirl of ginger, garlic, and sizzling woks felt like a hug from the universe. We plopped into a booth by the window, watching raindrops perform races down the glass as the city blurred into watery streaks.\n\nSoon, a parade of treasures arrived. New York‑style egg rolls - crisp and steaming, their golden shells crackling softly as we picked them up, stuffed with a savory mix of cabbage, celery, pork, and shrimp. Each bite released a warm, fragrant hug of flavors, perfectly balanced with a playful drizzle of sweet-and-sour plum sauce that danced across the tongue like a tiny celebration.\n\nTwo‑Flavor Shrimp - plump, succulent shrimp artfully arranged on a divided plate, dressed in two contrasting sauces: one savory with gentle warmth, the other bright, sweet, and tangy. Though distinct, the sauces came together to form a harmonious whole, balancing and elevating each bite. Caramelized walnuts added a delicate, nutty crunch, completing a sophisticated interplay of textures and flavors. Bold yet refined, this dish transformed every forkful into a memorable culinary journey.\n\nThe Pineapple Curry Fried Rice - tender chicken and succulent shrimp intertwined with crisp peas, sweet carrots, scallions, and delicate white onions, all embraced by fragrant, golden fried rice. Juicy pineapple added a luminous, tropical sweetness, while toasted cashews lent a subtle, nutty crunch. Infused with a gentle, aromatic curry spice, each bite unfolded layers of savory warmth and textural harmony - a refined, vibrant reinterpretation of a classic fried rice..., adding a cheerful tropical wink to the otherwise gray day.\n\nEach bite was a tiny rebellion against the rain, a delicious incantation that chased away the chill. The hum of conversation, the clatter of dishes, and the attentive staff made the dreary afternoon feel like an unexpected adventure in a hidden, enchanted corner of the city.\n\nWhen we stepped back into the drizzle, we carried more than satisfied appetites - we carried a pocket of warmth, laughter, and a whisper of magic that danced in the air well beyond the last drop of rain.\n\nNowadays, even five years later, we return to the Green Apple China Bistro with eager anticipation. Since I have no favorites and treasure the thrill of discovery, I select different dishes each time, delighting in the unexpected. Every plate, vibrant in flavor, texture, and aroma, holds a small surprise, turning each meal into an exquisite, ever-changing culinary journey. Each visit leaves a lingering impression long after the last taste - a tiny spark of enchantment waiting to be discovered anew.\n\nMaria E.\nCertified Sommelier & Cordon Bleu Chef | International Food Expert\nPresident of a Gourmet Food Company\n‘Bringing exceptional flavors to life’“

“Take out the way of memories without the oily paper boxes, it's a good thing! Whether orange chicken or beef broccoli, vegetable chow mein or egg fried rice, mains inside dishes are awesome. Hot and sour soup could've been spicier if heat is your thing. My favorite dish here has to be the cashew chicken, it's superb! I must not be the only one aware of take out from here, though the place felt quiet and offered serene dining for a few tables, the kitchen remained very busy. Multiple orders and their owners came and went in the scant few minutes awaiting my own delicious dishes. I've returned for more already but can't justify keeping this gem all to myself anymore.“

“I had been looking forward to trying out panda inn and they did not disappoint. From the classic decorum; fantastic service and most delicious food the hardest decision was what two entrees to order as I was dining alone. I will be back with friends so that we can try more dishes!!“

“Chowking is one of the best Filipino small restaurants here in California. Their halo halo is one of my favorite especially summer time. Beef noodles and pork asado siopao is also really good. Employees are very nice and friendly and the parking is good too.“

“This is my go-to spot for food after a trip. The last thing you want to do when you come home from traveling is cook and this restaurant always hits the spot! Lots of vegetables, large portions, fresh hot green tea and soup with each meal when you eat in. They have lunch and dinner combos, but honestly everything on their menu is awesome. My favorites include orange chicken, szechwan sliced bbq pork, mongolian beef, honey walnut shrimp and the dish I order every single time I go: buddha’s delight. It’s packed with various vegetables in a slightly sweet sauce that delivers the nutrients your body is craving.

They offer take out, but I suggest dining in to get the full experience. The walls are decorated with a mix of artwork and images of their food while a pop station plays in the background. You’ll sometimes find the kids doing homework at one of the tables during the week. They’re sustainability friendly too, so if you’d like them to package something up in your own container, they’re happy to do so. So grateful to have a traditional chinese restaurant that’s run by a family like this in the area.“

“This is my favorite place for an amazing price chinese food. The people are always so nice and the food is hot and fresh. Today I had the garlic shrimp. Amazing! I plan on trying every item on lunch menu. By the way, did I mention I drive an hour away to eat here? Parking is hard but if you can't find parking in the lot, try the street. Well worth it!“

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

“Food is really good and fast service. All the service staffs are courteous and proactive. They'll even pack the left overs for you to go. Sodas are all canned (no fountain). The place is kind of old but they still manage to keep it clean and neat. You need to sign to queue (dont wait for someone to reserve your table). Overall this is our go-to for Chinese food cravings.“

“Saw this place on IG a while ago, but subconsciously just scrolled through the post not remembering the name. I just happened to stumble upon it while getting my car serviced, and realized it was the place when I saw they were serving people fat portions of food.

Hyped I found the place. Great price, portions. Can easily feed 2-3 people. Quality is what you would get from a fast food Chinese place which is also great.“

“We were like, " I'm feeling Chinese"... Looked up a "Chinese restaurant near me" bam! "there it is!"Whew? It's a roller coaster ride of flavor. Everything was fresh. The veggies were still crisp. There was half the oil in it as other places. Humans favorite flavor is fat. They wouldn't make money without a little oil.The lady was so nice and welcoming. I ordered wonton soup. It was made just for me. Bomb!“

“Best Chinese food in town“

“I tried the vegetable chow fun and really enjoyed it. The noodles weren’t the wide, flat style I was expecting — they were more like fettuccine in size — but the flavor was excellent and the vegetables tasted fresh. Portions are large and generous, so you definitely leave satisfied. The service was fast and friendly; my server, who I think might be one of the owners, was very professional and welcoming.

What stood out to me is how much the restaurant feels like a true family-run spot. I saw several Chinese families dining in, as well as plenty of local families hanging out and enjoying their meals together. That’s always a great sign that the food is authentic and the atmosphere is comfortable. Overall, the chow fun was delicious, the service was outstanding, and it’s the kind of place I’ll be coming back to often.“

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

“This place has great food but you gotta fix the website, and sometimes nobody answers the phone, it seems like its closed at random times? I would love to be a regular and eat it but I usually order via website and it seems like it either never works or there are very few items to even order.“

“It's always nice when mom-and-pop businesses, especially restaurants do well against corporate rivals. Many small Chinese restaurants have succeeded by following the trailblazer (i.e. Panda Express) and offering similar fare (e.g. Orange Chicken).

JJWok is the exception. This hole-in-the-wall grew it's base of loyal patrons from offering a menu full of excellent dishes, many of them not served at Panda restaurants (try the Jalapeno Chicken).“

“The best Chinese food around! It’s mom n pop owned by this very kind Asian couple for almost two decades. Not only is the food delicious but always fresh! My favourite is their stir fried vegetables but I’ve tried half of their menu and all is quite delicious! It is very delicious everything they offer and affordable too especially in this economy. Easier to have them cook than me buy ingredients and clean up.“

“Went to the area as a tourist from Canada and decided to check this place out. Very friendly family ran restaurant with one of the best Chinese food i’ve ever had in the LA area. Extremely clean and friendly staff with generous portions. Would definitely come back when i’m in the LA area for a visit.“

“House of Joy has quickly become one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome — friendly smiles, fast seating, and attentive service throughout the meal. You can tell they truly care about their customers.

Every dish was packed with flavor and came out piping hot. The dim sum was especially impressive — fresh, perfectly cooked, and not greasy at all. The Peking duck and salt-and-pepper shrimp were standouts, but honestly, everything we tried was delicious. Portions are generous and prices are very fair for the quality you get.

What really sets House of Joy apart, though, is the level of service. Our tea cups were never empty, plates were cleared promptly, and the servers checked in just enough without ever being intrusive. It felt like dining at a place that truly values its guests.

Whether you’re coming for family dinner, a casual lunch, or a special occasion, House of Joy is a gem. Highly recommend — can’t wait to come back“

“Food,service, and atmosphere was perfect!! Highly recommend this place 💜💜💜“

“Looks to be newly remodeled inside. The Pad Thai is my favorite, but there really are so many delicious options to choose from. The staff is so sweet!
I have ordered online and went in before, but this time I called it in. They made it super easy! My order was accurate and so delicious!“

“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.“

“I love coming back here for the Pad see ew and the pad Thai! Their food is always piping hot and so full of flavor. I know my photo doesn't do much justice, but it's so delicious.
100% recommend anyone to come and try this place out.“

“This cozy little spot had plenty of parking, which was a nice plus. The woman who helped us was incredibly sweet and gave some of the best customer service I’ve had in a while. The portions were super generous—I absolutely loved the Chow Mein! The mushroom chicken wasn’t my favorite; it tasted a bit off, like it wasn’t super fresh. But overall, the food was delicious, and everyone at our table really enjoyed their meals.“

“Well priced, authentic Thai food! Lams looks like a small hole in the wall, but the food is extraordinarily delicious. I ordered 9 meals for a group of friends and on pick up it was ready on time, packaged beautifully and still very warm. Every meal was perfectly cooked and so tasty. Just an incredible, friendly, quality Thai restaurant. I've been ordering from Lams since before Covid and it never seizes to impress. Do yourself a favor.“

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

“We had early dinner there today. Wonton soup was delicious. Chicken in garlic sauce was extremely tasty and vegetable noodles was succulent. The service was utmost friendly and polite. Thank you.“

“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 spot is fire. We arrived 5 min before they closed like idiots and the trays were already out of food but instead of turning us away they asked what we would like and made it for is FRESH on the spot. They were super friendly and charged us close to nothing for 2 very full plates of absolutely delicious food. If you’re looking to try a new spot don’t 2nd guess it needs to be here. There was even more people coming in after which they also helped out AMAZING SPOT DEF COMING BACK THANK YOU!“

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

“I've never been here before but I ordered from doordash on a whim.

We had the wor wonton soup, pupu platter, and the veggie egg rolls. They also sent us pork ribs! I'm guessing the pork ribs were a bonus. Either way, the food was absolutely delicious! Next time I'm in the area, I plan on ordering from them again because the food was so good! 5/5“

“Excellent food and kind service. They have a few seats inside and for dine-in and give you a cute tray. As I was eating, the owner kindly offered me samples of their other dishes. So good. She was so sweet, kind to every customer and she brought me ice water even though I didn’t ask. She told me that her family has owned this spot for 28 years and she took over 12 years ago. Respect. I would get the jalapeño chicken next time. Like orange chicken, with a bit of spice. Unbeatable value.“
