50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Valley Village

“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.“

“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!“

“Sushi and Chines. close by“

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

“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!“

“We were pleasantly surprised and loved this little restaurant! We originally came to Chinatown to eat at the other famous place down the street from here, but there was a 2 hour wait there and we needed to eat and get going to the Dodger game! That’s when Google came to the rescue and we found Jade Wok!! We ordered fried rice, chow mein, spare ribs, kung-pow chicken, house beef and all were very delicious!! We are forever happy customers and will continue to come back! The owner and her son served us and were very attentive!“

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

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

“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“

“Great food, location and service“

“Visited this location for an early dinner. It had been a while since our last visit. Brian the Server was amazing. Best service we have received @ this location. We will definitely return & hopefully he is working so we can request him.“

“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!! 🫶🏻“

“Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?“

“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.“

“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 really enjoyed this restaurant.
We ordered the classic potato noodles spicy brown sugar rice cake, deep fried pork belly , and a variety of different skewers to try ( mushroom , lobster balls , sausage) Everything was so good. The staff here are all friendly and the food came out so quickly after we placed our order . This restaurant is super underrated!!! I highly recommend“

“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.“

“Just tried Guilin rice noodles for the first time and I’m absolutely obsessed! The broth is incredibly fragrant and soul-warming, with a subtle spicy and savory depth that keeps you wanting more. The rice noodles themselves are silky-smooth and have the perfect chewy texture. Topped with crispy pork, peanuts, fresh herbs, and a hint of pickled vegetables—each bite is a beautiful balance of flavors and textures.
It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for something comforting and delicious, Guilin rice noodles will not disappoint. Highly recommend giving it a try!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Good service and yummy food 😋😋“

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

“This isn't my first time here. I ordered the set menu of the spicy seafood noodle, black bean noodle, and the sweet and sour fried pork. The noodles were great but I was taken aback when I saw the portion and the presentation of the fried pork. Hmm it barely covered the plate and it wasn't stacked, but the waitress brought out a bowl more while we were eating. It wasn't bad it just did not look like the photo lol.“

“I'm so glad we tried this place on our trip. The lunch special was very reasonable and the servings were generous. I'm convinced we could have closed our eyes and pointed at the menu. No wrong choices here. The orange beef was something special.“

“Great Cantonese restaurant! My family has been coming to this restaurant for many years and the food is delicious and cooked like in Hong Kong. We had filet mignon and asparagus, sea food chow mein, Peking duck, snow pea leaf and mixed vegetables - mushroom, bok choi, fried tofu, bean sprouts, and broccoli (vegetarian dish). This place has a lot of old clientele, and tbe food is delicious.“

“I absolutely love this place! I always come with my family to dine in and we are always available to chit chat. The food is delicious I always order the chow mein and beef broccoli, one of my favs. Parking is a bit hard to get, but their is a parking lot you have to pay, kinda pricey.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Young King 연경 is a classic Korean‑Chinese restaurant on Olympic Blvd that’s beloved for its comfort‑food staples like crispy tangsuyuk (sweet‑and‑sour pork), rich black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon), and flavorful jjamppong, all served in generous portions with a casual, family‑friendly vibe. Many locals and regulars praise the nostalgic, cozy atmosphere and friendly service, and the menu also offers dumplings, Mongolian beef, and other hearty dishes that keep people coming back, though parking can get busy during peak dinner hours. Overall, it’s a great spot for satisfying Korean‑Chinese classics in Koreatown.“

“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.“

“Love love this place great people that work there amazing food. Great portions, fresh and delicious can not go wrong did I mention great prices too. You must try.“

“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.“

“it's nice place for dinning“

“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.“

“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!!! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“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. 🥡✨“

“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!“

“Very good food and excellent service“

“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“

“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 ,“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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’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.“
