50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Tarzana

“January 2026

I got my order to go, barbecue pork fried rice and sweet and pungent shrimp.

The portion size on the barbecue pork fried rice is really good, really large. The rice was cooked perfect, the flavor is definitely there. I would get this dish again.

The sweet and pungent shrimp was okay I suppose. Way too much sugary sauce if you ask me. Also, they do use smaller size shrimp then some other places in the area. I do like the fact that they do include broccoli with the order. I believe the amount/quantity of Shrimp portion size is just a tad smaller than what I would have liked. I'm not sure if I would order this dish again though. Maybe the experience is a little bit better in person. Please keep in mind, this was a to-go order that I got.

Parking is plentiful, even though it's on Reseda and Ventura Boulevard basically. There is a free parking lot that you can park in. If you come for lunch during the week, it's definitely busy, so be prepared to park maybe a little bit further away than you'd like to.

Overall, for takeout, this place was pretty good. I have to try this place in person another time when I have more time. But all in all, I would definitely give it another try.“

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

“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 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“Had an Uber credit to use so quickly ordered a pickup order and have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. The zucchini and mushrooms salad was amazing, as was the chicken and mango. The order was ready in less than 5 minutes and would totally get food from them again!“

“Amazing Food. We ordered quite a few dishes and everything was delicious! The Peking Duck and green beans were my favorite!“

“I sampled their famous xiao long bao, delicious dumplings, savory fried rice and garlic string beans. Each dish was a taste experience, from the delicious dumplings in broth to the perfectly seasoned fried rice. The service is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Don't miss this place for authentic Taiwanese cuisine and unforgettable flavors. It has the taste of home.“

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“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!“

“One of several new malatang places in the area, Bruin Bowl is not a large place, but they seem to have a solid selection of meats, veggies, noodles, and seafood despite their modest size. Both the bone broth and the chicken/fish maw soup bases are pretty tasty too. Excellent option if you're in the area.“

“Needed to edit my online order but couldn’t after placing it, so called the restaurant and luckily was able to get some quick, easy assistance from David! He was able to substitute the item for me without issue. When I arrived, he confirmed my whole order for me and visually showed me that everything was there. Portions and quality were great. My favorite was the Mongolian beef. Would definitely come back, especially for a good lunch special!“

“Shoutout to Kim who, despite a jammed dining room, dozens of pickup orders, managed to greet me warmly & expedite my takeout request (silly me, ordered in person after the theater). I had time to watch her operate as the coordinator of all the food leaving the kitchen & wow, what a job! Thank you Kim!

The food is consistently fabulous! This time the salt & pepper tofu & veggie noodles, beyond delicious!

Only heads-up. Dining room is very, very loud and too much traffic walking through, as well as delivery people crowded around waiting, so as pretty as the space is, it wouldn’t be my pick for a quiet, conversational dinner. More like a bustling food court vibe.“

“I have mixed feelings of calling this place overpriced, but I think it is overpriced.

Because if you only get a bowl of rice and one single dish, you can maybe walk out with spending only $10-15 for a meal, which is decent. But if you start even thinking about trying a few more dishes out you are easily going to spend $20 or even $30 for robot-made Chinese food (The food is, in fact, very good.)

But I feel the financial benefit of reducing labor cost by partially replacing human labor with machines, is not brought down to the consumers as much. At least that’s how I felt after paying $30 for a rice bowl and three small side dishes.

Oh, they do give you sturdy plastic cutlery and a nice bag if you decide to take your food home!“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“I randomly found this place when I was in the area. The restaurant itself is very cute and clean. The service was superb, we got seated right away and got our water right away. We ordered the noodles, XLB and popcorn chicken and cucumber salad. The XLB was so juicy and I didn’t expect a stream to shoot out from my mouth from the first bite into the XLB. Thankfully I didn’t hit anyone with the XLB juice. I will be back to try other dishes.“

“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!“

“This was our first time eating here and I have to say we were very Impressed. We were seated right away. Michael our waiter treated us so well. Explained everything on the menu and went over the new items on the menu as well. Everything was so good and Michael continuesly checked on us and always made sure our drinks were filled. He was so polite and nice. He even went out of his way to show is the 3 sauce platter since this was our first time. We have never had such a good waiter like him before. Michael deserves a raise for sure. He is absolutely AMAZING and we will be coming back!“

“All of the dumplings are delicious, and prepared very fast.“

“Ordered takeout online and it was a real smooth and easy process. Food was ready on time and packaged nicely. Got the beef noodle soup with the flat rice noodle and the dry mix rice noodle. Both were really good. Staff was friendly at pickup. They have a very small parking lot, but I lucked out with getting a spot. It does look a bit run down on the outside, but inside looked nice and spacious.“

“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!“

“Good food. Best in Simi Valley!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I used to come here years ago. I worked basically a few doors down at the Dispensary. I haven’t been around in years but I was over in the area and I stopped by. The stand out here is the Spicy Orange Chicken!!! It was perfectly fried and the jalapeños were the perfect complement. The noodles had a great chew to them and my two other sides had a lot of flavor. I went with teriyaki chicken and mushroom chicken.
There are chili oils on the counter and sriracha to take to your table. This is one of the hole in the wall places that I love.“

“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!
🤗🫠💯“

“$8 combo with decent sized portion--chow mein, fried rice and a meat! Can't beat that! No frills restaurants. They don't soak their rice in oil like many Chinese restaurants. Good orange chicken, also saw they have jalapeño chicken and fried banana.

Parking might be tough in this neighborhood but it's free.

They take cash and card“

“Best Chinese Chicken Salad there is!“

“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.“

“Service fast Great food!!!! Being from Chicago we were unsure n went on Yelp-This restaurant came highly recommended“

“Best Chinese food in town“

“i’m a foodie and I’m pretty picky. This is just small little place but the food is so tasty and the price is right. I had the shrimp and broccoli and a garlic sauce delicious and the egg flour soup they even have crispy noodles to put in it. And I have to say an egg roll should be crispy and they sure is. Go now!!!“

“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?“

“I ate there yesterday, 03/06, with one of my bff’s, and the dining experience is consistently excellent. Smiley servers and helpers.

Before I get into my helpful hints, I need to single out Allison(Allie), our server, who was pleasant, thoughtful, and very attentive. She is a happy soul who seems to enjoy being servicful. I would be remiss if I didn't also acknowledge Haylie, the only female manager that I have seen onsite. She is amazing. I am not being hyperbolic; she is genuinely committed to ensuring you have a memorable and special dining experience. She stopped by our table a few times to check on us and make sure there was nothing more she could do to improve our dining experience. This is the only restaurant where I have experienced so much attentive service and positive energy, along with consistent food. It’s five-star dining—my helpful hint, especially if you’re a vegetarian or vegan and big on the veggies. If you have appetizers, order them first by themselves, and then, when you’re ready for your main dishes, have your server put them in second after finishing your appetizers. That way, you ensure that your second course isn’t sitting on your table. They’re so efficient that the food comes out so quickly that you’re still eating your appetizer, and the veggies are getting cold. Hope this review encourages you to try it. You won’t regret it. 🙏🏼🙏🏽“

There’s isn’t anything on this menu I would love❤️!!!
MUST TRY GARLIC CRAB & FUSH WITH BKACK BEAN SAUCE!
Delicious soft pillows of tender bites of the best fish!
MUST TRY!“

“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.“

“Dan Modern Restaurant delivers a comforting yet refined experience centered on freshness. The house-made noodles are a standout, springy and silky, soaking up bold, balanced flavors in every bite. Popcorn shrimp dumplings are playful and memorable, crispy on the outside with juicy shrimp and a savory crunch that keeps you reaching for more. To finish, the tea selection is fragrant and soothing, perfectly complementing the meal and cleansing the palate. Dan Modern feels thoughtful, modern, and satisfying, making it a spot worth revisiting with friendly service and consistent quality throughout“

“Went here with two friends and got to go. Staff were friendly and interior was nice and clean. We went somewhat close to closing and it took a little while to get our food but not a problem. I got bao buns (pork and chicken) and they were good. My friends enjoyed the other styles of dishes.“

“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...“

“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.“

“Great food, fast service, and the price for a combo plate is amazing considering the amount of food they give you.They really Jam Pack your plate until it can barely close!11$ for Combo A comes with 2 items plus rice, chow main or 1/2 and 1/2 and 13$ for a combo B which comes 3 items plus what I listed above.I always come to this place (at least 1x a week) and it’s always been the same great quality for years! ???“

“Ordered takeout and food was made fast. Service was quick and front of the house is friendly. The chow men is a bit thicker. Their chicken dishes were delicious and perfectly cooked. Their darker sauce dishes are more flavorful than other Chinese restaurants nearby. The moo goo gai pan was good. In comparison to other Chinese restaurants here, they have saltier food, but that lends to a good flavor.“

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

“Lee's Chinese Fast Food is one of my favorite places to visit and get Chinese food. The food is very good, from the rice, orange chicken, kung pao chicken and my favorite the noodles. :) The staff is very friendly/helpful and hard workers they are to make the place suitable and a cool place to visit and eat at. :)“

“No dine in so I won’t review service and atmosphere. Crab Rangoon was good. Orange chicken was fairly good but some pieces had more orange flavor than others. Black pepper beef had lots of vegetables and would have preferred more beef, flavor was good but could have been more peppery. Xo sauce string beans didn’t have much flavor, but I tasted the sauce in the bottom of the container and it was good so maybe the beans need to marinate more. I’ll try it again tomorrow and see if it tastes better. So, all in all, I’d say the food is kind of average.“

“Awesome service!Very delicious food…definitely going back in this restaurant…never been dissapointed..happy customer here😊😊😊 I highly recommend this place!😊😘“
