50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Valley Village

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Had lunch at Jade Wok near Chinatown and honestly, it hit the spot. The standout for me was definitely the sweet and savory spareribs. They’re sticky, flavorful, and perfectly tender with just a bit of chew. Exactly how you want Chinese-style spareribs to be. The glaze is rich and garlicky with a nice hint of sweetness, and the green onions and sesame seeds on top gave it a nice little pop.

We also got the stir-fried greens, which were super simple but fresh and cooked just right. A little crunch, a little tenderness + great as a balance to the heavier dishes.

And the braised tofu with minced pork came in a deep, savory sauce that soaked into the tofu beautifully. The tofu was fried just enough to give it some texture on the outside while staying soft inside. Super comforting.

It’s not a fancy spot, but the food comes out hot, portions are generous, and everything tastes like it was cooked with care. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and want that classic Chinese comfort food vibe.“

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

“The best place in Dtla! Ask for Hiro, he was super amazing and kept our drinks full!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wow- pure fire here - best house hot sauce ever- mix between a Mexican salsa n Tabasco 🔥🔥 very tasty- well the other bestest item were the beef noodles!! Thick noodles!! 🫶🏻“

“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.“

“Great food, location and service“

“Really amazing and very good food. I was a table of one and was able to sit down within 15 minutes compared to usual hour long wait.

I got the HK style french toast, very sweet and more of a dessert but it was amazing nonetheless. Second item i got was the cold sesame noodle (no chicken) and i’ve never had this amazing dish before and it was life changingly good.

Funny story but they threw away my food while i was in the bathroom for two minutes but they apologized and gave me a free meal to go and pastry. I didn’t care that much but happy they fixed an error!

Will come back again def“

“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.“

“Great lunch spot or to take to go. It’s a really good value for West LA especially. Love all the small dish options, feels like I could come here multiple times a week and not get tired of the food given the variety. I recommend the mapo tofu, king pao chicken, sweet tomato and egg, and eggplant. The mini buns are nice snack for the kids too. We make our own rice at home and pair with 5-6 of these sides. Feeds a family of 4 for about $25-30! Not a big space inside so gets a little cramped during busy hours.“

“Good atmosphere with great lightning. Such a nice chill place to eat Chinese food near USC!
Ordered the shrimp fried noodle, which was good in flavor— downside is that the dish was overpriced and a bit underwhelming appearance-wise. Also ordered the QuaiLin noodle, which was spicy at the right level— delicious!“

“A great little gem. We stopped in for dinner - not especially hungry due to late lunch but knew we needed to eat something. We split the cucumber salad - so fresh and tasty, a little sweet, a little salty. It’s sold as a small appetizer but, easily splittable. Then pork potstickers and veggie pancakes - eight of each, so plenty to share and also very tasty. Definitely would go back. Friendly attentive service to round out a great find.“

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

“Dan modern Chinese was a pleasant surprise as the person who brought me told me it was better then din tai fung. It was not as good but the food was solid, the dumplings were great and so was the salt and pepper beef. Would come here with a date or a friend for a casual meal.“

“Ping Pong Chinese Cuisine is an absolute gem! Every visit is a delightful experience. The food is always fresh and bursting with flavor. Their Signature Crispy Duck is a must-try—perfectly cooked with a crispy skin and tender, juicy meat inside. The Chef’s special beef steak is another standout, cooked to perfection with a rich, savory sauce that complements the tender beef so well. I also highly recommend trying their steam fish w/ scallions and ginger for an extra treat.

The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a family dinner or a casual meal with friends. The service is always top-notch; the staff is friendly, attentive, and eager to make sure you have a great dining experience.

If you’re in the mood for authentic and delicious Chinese food, Ping Pong Chinese Cuisine should be at the top of your list!“

“This place is just amazing i would go here as a kid and 20 years later I returned everything was still amazing it doesn’t get any better the food and atmosphere is authentic and the prices you just can’t beat you get your moneys worth and you’ll walk out without regrets don’t let the chain link fence places by the city discourage you it’s easy access just walk in the place is cash only so bring cash if not there’s a atm down the block at a check cash place“

“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.“

“Handmade with love. Tastes as if I'm at my Halmoni's house. Delicate, real and subtle Korean flavors of my childhood, not too sweet or salty. My bf and I ordered the steamed veggie dumplings, chive pancake ((better than my Sumo's! Shhh)), king sized veggie dumplings, side of rice and miso soup. Cooked to order -- be patient. Soft textures. Sweet, hardworking couple. Our fav is the steamed veggie mandu. Vegetarian friendly. Perfect meal. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶 I love this place, if I lived in LA I'd be here all the time.“

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

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“If you want liang pi or if you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend this spot. Other noodles were just ok. I do want to mention that the portions are HUGE, so very good value. The bowl I got could be eaten for two meals. Food was out very fast. They also sell some bubble tea drinks there.“

“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. . .“

“it's nice place for dinning“

“The food was great! Ordered the Pork Chow Fun, and was super fresh and delicious. The Cream Cheese Wontons were delicious but very very small, so maybe order more than the single order. But otherwise delicious. Food was done and ready for pick exactly when they said it would be.“

“The fact that they are 4.2 and not near 4.8 really makes me upset cause this is probably the best quality and reasonable price. Best service, amazing fresh taste, and even lunch specials. Been going here since I was a kid. The only reason it’s not five stars is cause some of you don’t rate when you should. I’m looking at you fellow Koreans, let’s do better for our community and rate well when it’s deserved.“

“Came here on a whim with my husband, and I was not only surprised by how wonderful the atmosphere was. The food was delicious and got out quickly, the price was also very surprising. I will becoming back here, it's definitely a cozy spot for brunch! Especially with the staff being so nice and attentive, can't say enough good things about it!“

“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.“

“It was crispy noodle type of day and I wanted one badly that day. I stumbled upon this low key Chinese restaurant. The entrance is at the back facing the parking lot. Next to the restaurant is a bar that seems to attract chunky dudes who likes motorcycles. Frankly the entrance looks a bit sus.

Upon stepping in you’ll recognize it to be quintessential family run Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. Only thing missing is the obligatory owner’s child doing homework in a corner table lol.

The crispy noodles I ordered was the one topped with prawn and veggies. The serving was quite generous and nicely plated. $14.95 for such a good serving! Other than maybe a bit more shrimp I’ll say it was a 👍👍

I’ll try the salt and pepper pork chop or the French style filet mignon next time.“

“Amazing Chinese food!

I came back and ordered Egg Fu Yung and Shanghai Chow Mein. Both excellent and super awesome old school! Great stuff!

Previous visit:

I’ve been here before and don’t know why I never returned till today.

The wonton soup is flavorful. Like as if they used MSG. Remember, MSG is not bad for you. It’s a lie that it is. Look up what George Takei has to say about MSG. I’m not saying they use it here, but the food is amazing! The wontons are great and the soup is packed with meat and veggies.

The chow fun is spectacular. Packed full of meat and sprouts and not much onion which is great! So good!

The orange chicken rules! Perfectly battered and tangy! So delicious!

The tea is great too!

Service is efficient.

They have a parking lot!“

“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 was craving jjajangmyun so came here and glad we did! They have bunch of combos so we got the jjajangmyun & sweet and sour pork with a side of fried dumplings. The portions were generous and so yummy! The Auntie working there was so friendly and even gave water for my pup. Small hole is the wall but what a gem!“

“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.“

“Great place for a quick run of Chinese food. I really enjoy their noodles and their mushroom chicken. The food is good and the people are very nice and friendly on top of my the fact that their prices are fair. Their Thai tea is ? delicious !! Order the large one.

Parking: The place gets busy and the spaces in the lot are not enough sometimes. Half of the time you find a space and the other half you have to wait for someone to leave.“

“If you're looking for a Chinese dive,, this is it. Excellent food and above and beyond beyond service.

Most of the other patrons were Asian. All of the staff were. All of the good was good to great.

They handled our big party (9) without a hitch and had a completely reasonable bill since we also took home 4 or so meals.“

“Best Chinese Chicken Salad there is!“

“The food is delicious. :)“

“Good authentic Chinese food.
We had green beans with minced pork, kung pao chicken, fish filet in black bean sauce, and shrimp with lobster sauce. They are all very good and tasty. A little on the salty side, but still delicious with a "strong character" ;-)
Atmosphere is very casual. The typical Chinese restaurant!
Service is good“

“My first time visiting this hidden gem on West Adams. Their bold flavors and perfect execution ranging from cold apps, to dumplings and noodle dishes.

I tried their new Kung Pao Chicken, and wow--it's a must-order. The balance of spice, crunch, and just the right amount of sweetness made it one of the best versions I've had anywhere in LA.

Of course, the classics here never disappoint. The dumplings are tender, juicy, and packed with flavor; the spicy beef noodle soup has that rich, comforting broth with just the right kick; and their fried rice is so good you could happily eat it on its own or alongside everything else. They can also adjust spice levels.

Beyond the food, the vibe at Mian really adds to the experience. Whether you're coming for a casual dinner with friends or just craving some of the best Chinese food in town, Mian delivers every time.

Highly recommend checking it out--you'll definitely want to come back again and again. extra NOM“

“I have been in LA for 5 years now.
I just discovered green apple and I cried over it.
Thank you thank you thank you.
I feel like I'm back home in Connecticut. This is the E.Coast chinese I grew up on. I AM SO GREATFUL.“

“The fried rice and chow mein out on the warmer Is not that great. The portions are huge, so you and half dozen small children will be fed, but thats about it. Try the combo a shrimp and veggies with rice noodle with steam rice. If you want to knock yourself out, get the Kay Kay fried rice.“

“This is a nice little restaurant that is very affordable for two or four people.
Proportion and servings are medium to large.
Depending on how much you order and how big or small your stomach is.
This may not be din Tai Fung but it's it's a little brother and it is up to par.
I was very satisfied with my meal I do plan to come back for a regular visit.
Steam soup dumplings were also their signature mark as well as their bao buns.
They give you options for soup, noodles, vegetable servings, choice of drinks and desserts.
Please pay this wonderful little restaurant to visit.“

“I like this place. Extremely good prices and value. Huge quantities. I mostly just get the orange chicken, white rice, and sometimes get some other appetizers. They also give you tea and some other appetizers for free at the beginning. For the price, how good the food is, and how big the quantities are I would definitely recommend it. Orange chicken 10/10, overall I rate the restaurant a 4.6/5“

“I believe this place has been turned into more of a pickup and delivery type of environment. Having said that, the food is excellent. The staff are kind and professional. It was a good surprise to find this Little Jim while traveling as I travel through this city frequently enough.“

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

“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.“
