Chinese Restaurants near Sun Valley

“I've been eating at Mandarin terrace for a year now and let me tell you it's a MUST TRY!!!
from the soft noodles to the walnut shrimp (which I'm addicted to) all made fresh to order. Portions are generous so I recommend to visit hungry.“

“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. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨‍❤️‍👨🧡“

“My first time coming to this legendary location and I was not disappointed. We had the lunch specials and all meals were amazing! The service was top notch and the atmosphere was great! It will not be the last time coming here. Highly recommend to those looking for some great food!“

“Went for dinner with my girlfriends, and it was such a vibe inside!! Was super loud though, so it wasn’t the ideal place for a chatty dinner. The food was good, and the drinks were strong. I’d be back to try something else off the menu.“

“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.“

“Great food, location and service“

“Had takeout as an employee luncheon, and they got everything spot on. Food was perfectly packed and super delicious. The fried rice is very tasty and had a good texture just how I like it. Chow mein was very tasty as well. We will definitely order from here again.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ms Rosalina is the sweetest Chowking worker ! I go there almost every week and she always greets me with a big smile! She gives the best customer service ! She makes sure my order is right and always gets it to me in a timely manner ! No matter how busy the place gets she is patient with everyone’s order! Thank you ms Rosalina for all you do!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 🥡✨“

“I have been to A Lot of Chinese from here to San Francisco, San Diego to San Gabriel... the good was, hot, crispy, savory, sweet, and fresh!!! This is authentic Chinese. I has eggdrop and hot and sour soup, salad, orange chicken, bbq pork, fried rice, Kung pao, and fried pork chops. The service was quick and courteous. Everyone in my party left fat and happy!!! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“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 ,“

“Sam Woo in Van Nuys is the gold standard for Chinese food. I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember, and everything is still top tier — bold flavors, great portions, and consistently well-executed dishes that hit every time. You can tell this is a place that knows exactly what it’s doing, and the quality really shows. The food comes out hot, fresh, and incredibly satisfying. The to-go area team is especially friendly and efficient, making pickup quick and easy. If you’re craving authentic Chinese comfort food done right, this spot absolutely delivers. A true classic that keeps us coming back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!
🤗🫠💯“

“The food is fantastic. Everything was fresh and tasted fantastic. Better than any other Chinese restaurant I've tried in LA. Also, their egg rolls are TRUE egg rolls like you find back on the East Coast, not the whimpy pinky-sized spring rolls. I ordered takeout, and the staff I interacted with both over the phone and in person were friendly and accommodating. Will be a repeat customer.“

“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’“

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

“Best Chinese food in town“

“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!!“

“The food is delicious. :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“My only question is why do you only have a 4.3 this should be five stars all the way across the board, I would only imagine because too many people don’t recognize delicious authentic amazing Chinese food piping hot. I’ve been there several times dine in and dine out and I have been 100% satisfied.

I didn’t even have to wait that long however I would have waited a full half hour for this amazing delicious authentic Chinese food

Aside from this food atmosphere is nice kind and friendly people. They even laugh at my corny dad jokes !!!“

“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 is great! Everyone that works there is so nice and really efficient. The portions are really good. Their kimchi is very yummy! If you have never tried it now is the time. The dinner price went up since the last time we went, but still a good value.“

“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!!“

“The lady that helped me was very nice a welcoming! The service was fast and the food was so good! The chow mein was my favorite part. The chickens were delicious and fresh. I’m in the city visiting and wish she had a location where I live 😣“

“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.“

“It hard to find good Chinese food and I just tried china lites for the first time and I am amazed everything was so fresh and flavorful! I’ve lived here for years and somehow this place wasn’t on my radar but from now on it’s the only place I’ll order Chinese food from. You got a customer for life! Great job you deserve 10 stars if this were an option you’d get it!“

“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.“

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

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

“First time ordering togo from here. I ordered directly from the website.

Their togo packaging is top tier. Insulated bags and followed the instructions I put in the notes.

Family is sick right now so no grocery shopping and no cooking. We rarely order Chinese because of togo quality sometimes but today we were craving.

Super glad we chose here. The food was delicious, it came hot and ready to eat, no reheating needed. The chicken dishes were really good and not just all breading. Flavor great and not too greasy. The bbq pork chow fun was better than expected. Full on pork slices so tender and not dry! And we shared the hot sour soup, but i ate most of it. It was so good!

When we feel better and are up for chinese again, definitely will try this place in person.“

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

“Not only a great value but the BEST Chinese cuisine I’ve had, bar none. The MaiTi’s are incredible, if you like them strong. Couldn’t recommend it more strongly than I am. I’m a bonified foodie, have eaten at some of they operated restaurants around the world and this place is a gem and a must 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.“

“If you like orange chicken,.. look no more! This place made THE BEST orange chicken ever!! Panda Express doesn't even stands a chance!

Then they made this sweet, savory spicy chicken wings that I'm addicted to!!

Their soy sauced pork ribs are to die for!!

Prices are decent, portions were BIG, tastes are HEAVENLY!! Very authentic! Tasted like my grandma's & mom's cooking!“

“From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was going to be special. The cozy ambiance set the mood, and the staff greeted me with genuine smiles.

I ordered the Asado siopao and beef wonton, and wow both were bursting with flavor. The siopao was fluffy with a delicious filling, and the beef wontons were rich, tender, and comforting. I was so excited to try them, I didn’t even stop to take a photo!

Great food, great service, great vibes. What more can you ask for?!“

“Review of Panda Express (Los Feliz)
Panda Express in Los Feliz is a fantastic and convenient option for anyone looking for delicious Chinese-American cuisine. I've consistently had great experiences there, and the convenience of its location is a major plus. The staff at this particular location are excellent, providing top-notch customer service. They are not only efficient but also entertaining, which makes the dining experience all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend this Panda Express location for a quick, tasty, and pleasant meal.“

“Don’t listen to the bad reviews they just don’t understand this place. It’s a 100/10 local gem. I moved to the valley in 2017 and was totally broke. Pre covid this was a sit down place but still cash only 1 man shop. And when i say 1 man, i mean one guy. He’s got articles up in the wall dating back decades written about his shop. Hes a NoHo institution and this is going the be the freshest Chinese food you ever had. And the prices?! Last I checked a lunch special was <20 and this is a standard Togo box PACKED. Sure does he sometimes tell you he’s changing your order, yeah. Are sometimes the hours adjusted randomly, yeah. But that’s going to be based off what he’s got left. He’s taking your order, cooking it fresh, and chatting with you. Trust me. Just eat what he gives you. If you’re looking to be attended to, and have a nice long sit down dinner with ambience, this place ain’t for you. If you want to meet the man himself, have fresh affordable delicious Chinese, be called “young man” even tho you’ve been a patron for almost a decade, this is your spot. Be sure to tip the guy and respect your elders. I guess it’s take out only now, but cmon, the guys business made it through Covid and is still showing up.“
