“The stir-fried noodles with chicken and broccoli at this place were honestly the best part of my night after the Dodgers game. I am basically the whole package, so a smart, cute guy should reach out before someone else catches on. You know where to find me.“

“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!“

“What a fantastic discovery in Van Nuys. I had such a lovely time here and the food was truly impressive. Everything arrived fresh and flavorful, especially the tofu which was fried to perfection.

The restaurant has a very comfortable atmosphere with these unique, patterned booth seats that make it feel so cozy. It is exactly the kind of place where you want to sit back and enjoy a long, relaxing meal. I will definitely be returning soon to try more of the menu.“

“I was looking for party trays and didn't know how to order them or what the cost might be. Fatima was so helpful, and Susanna made me feel extremely welcomed. These ladies really need recognition for thier work and hospitality. I would definitely recommend this location to everyone.“

“Excellent service. Great employees including William who went above & beyond for expectations, as well as Cesar, Amanda, Leo, Rose, & everyone that worked on behalf of the San Fernando Valley, as well as the entirety of Los Angeles, & California as a whole. Keep up the excellent work & may this branch pertain to their excellent contributions, inspiration, & goal driven outcomes for everyone possible. Thank you all! ❤️🤝🏻🙏🏻✌🏻👍🏻🫡🇺🇸“

“This is hands down the best Panda Express location in the valley. The staff are friendly, they keep the dining area and kitchen spotless, the food is always fresh, hot and never out of stock of any items. They are super fast with takeout orders too. Seriously, this is a model Panda Express.“

“Lee’s cafe is a Taiwanese-style cafe with a hint of Hong Kong sparkle, serving the perfect mix of Taiwanese and Hong Kong food. The toast is absolutely marvelous, and I truly believe it is worth every penny. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the other dishes. The sesame cold noodles were good, but missing something—I felt they didn’t quite hit the mark. The wontons were delicious, but the braised pork belly rice was your typical run-of-the-mill rice. Nothing terribly special, but delicious nonetheless. The HK milk tea, however, leaned very watery and missed the signature strong tea taste of a HK milk tea.
Also, their bathroom sink was broken and put as a “use at your own risk”. Hopefully they have fixed this since my visit!
Yet, through all this, I would still return to Liu’s kitchen—for their toast!“

“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.“

“Better ask "Why is your food So Great?" A huge fan since 1987 on Sunset. I wish you were closer...to Palm Springs... when in LA I have to stop and Eat at my favorite place, ever. Please do not try the Chinese Chicken Salad....Thank you for selling your top secret dressing! People, go try the Chins! You will love everything!“

“My friend and I had a delicious lunch at Hui Tou Xiang! The leek pancakes and dumplings are all handmade in-house as well as the noodles. We’ll be going back.“

“Had a great experience at P.F. Chang’s! Miguel S gave us amazing customer service He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. It’s always nice when someone goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed and taken care of. 😊“

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

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

“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.“

“This place is a whole vibe. Purely from a food perspective, the menu here is pretty standard Chinese fare and is above average though not incredible. The dan dan noodles are spice and solid. The walnut prawns were a bit too sweet.

The prices are also on the high side.

But what you're paying for is the setting and nostalgia. I mean, we dined in a converted train car!

The inside is dark, sultry, and decadent. The service is solid though a bit scattered at times.“

““Had a great experience at Chowking. The food came out fresh, hot, and flavorful, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the visit. The restaurant was clean, service was quick, and everything was well organized even during busy hours. The Halo-Halo and siopao were especially good, and the portions were satisfying. Definitely a solid spot for comfort Filipino-Chinese food in the area. Looking forward to coming back again soon!”“

“Yummy Chinese food in the valley. Convenient location and ample parking. Ordered chicken wings, orange chicken and pan fried noodles and Thai tea. Tasted fresh and cooked well. Kind and attentive customer service. I’d come back. (Received a free Thai iced tea in exchange for the review but this is an honest review.)“

“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.“

“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 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“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.“

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

“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 had such a wonderful meal here today. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served with a genuine smile.

The crispy noodles with shrimp were a highlight. It was such a nice touch to receive a plate of fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. I left feeling completely satisfied.

I will definitely be back soon to try more of the menu. This place is a real gem in Reseda.“

“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!“

“No tip. Yes, you heard right. You don't need to tip here. Almost everything is self serve, they do bring out the food and you can leave the trays on the table, but they don't care about tip, at least when we were there. A lot of their focus was takeout, so when we got in (not during the semester), it was empty. You get your own water from a pretty strong tap. Food was served in disposable big bowls which is nice.

Food is amazing, and the quantity given was decent. Hot or cold, noodles were great, lots of flavor, fresh. And the popcorn chicken was pretty good too, fresh and crispy.“

“Some of the best food I've had in my life. Our server was super friendly and helpful in serving our large family and a ton of fun. I love their round tables too that can seat 10 or more, great for conversation with large groups. Highly recommend!!“

“FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!

Went here with my kid and my mom last weekend. My eyes were bigger than my stomach as I proceeded to order more food than needed. We ordered a Mapo Tofu, a Juicy Pork Dumpling, a Pork Wonton in Spicy Sauce, a Green Onion Pancake and their marquee dish, Chongqing Crispy Chicken. Without a doubt, each dish was fire, but the Pork Wonton in Spicy Sauce really blew my socks off. The flavor was on point, and it wasn't very spicy. While I like it spicy, I know a lot of people don't like it. So this dish is perfect for people who want to like it spicy, but can't quite handle it. We ordered two rices, but in retrospect we should have ordered three... The Mapo Tofu demands more rice.

The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were very polite and accomodating. For now I can honestly I have found my new favorite Chinese restaurant in the valley. I will continue to go back here any time I have a hankering for Chinese, which is not true, because I always have a hankering for Chinese. The restaurant is like 20+ minutes away from my house, so it just isn't practical, and it is a tad expensive to be doing that. I think we got out of there after tip around $90, but again, it was a lot of food, and I had enough leftovers for another lunch for two. Definitely check it out!“

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

“beef Pho is excellent. chow fun us also very good“

“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.“

“Qi Steam Kitchen is so good! We tried several items from the menu, including the chicken wonton soup, chicken xiao long bao, beef noddle soup, beef and vegetable dumplings, scallion pancakes, and pan fried pork bao. All were delicious and came out so quickly! It’s a small restaurant, but there are still several places to sit. There is a small parking lot. The server was very attentive.“

“I have been eating here for years.
This is the kind of place where the staff remembers your name.
Any dish you order here will be amazing.
I cannot say that there is a favorite for me here. I usually end up taking too much time deciding on my order, because, I can't make up my mind most of the time. There are however times when I have something in mind already.“

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

“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. 🥡✨“

“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.“

“Best Chinese Chicken Salad there is!“

“Want to give a shout out to the wonderful staff and chefs. Felt like home. And wisdom came with the meal. That part is rare but was so appreciated. Great for an evening meal. Enjoy the wide variety of options, both traditional or healthy/modern.“

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

“Love this place for cheap delicious and fast meals! The combo B is my go-to with orange chicken and mushroom chicken with chow mein. Chow mein is delicious! Orange chicken is the best I’ve had in a restaurant to date and honestly I’ve never had anything that wasn’t good. Fried items that don’t travel as well I’d like are the cream cheese wontons (good, but a bit oily and not much crisp after delivery) and spring rolls - same thing. Portions are huge on Combo B. On combo C the third item will come in a tiny Chinese food container, and if that’s your favorite one out of the three dishes, you may be a little upset.“

“The food is delicious. :)“

“I love this place my family has been coming here since I was a preschool and I’m 25 now and I was so devastated when the fire happened. I was having withdrawals from the food I missed it so much. I am grateful to the owners who kept it operating after the fire and the pandemic. The food is exactly how I remembered it! My favorite is the wonton soup and of course their chili oil! I come here once a month when I can.“

“5 stars! Love this family-owned Chinese spot in LA—generous portions, friendly service, and all the classic dishes done right. The honey walnut shrimp is crispy and sweet, the won ton soup is comforting, and the roasted duck is absolutely fantastic—skin so crispy it shatters, meat juicy and full of flavor. Perfect for family dinners or casual takeout, always fresh and satisfying. Highly recommend!“

“Our 1st time going and BOY IT WAS DELICIOUS. I was sadden about them closing. Awesome Customer Svc“

“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!“

“Fantastic Chinese food in strip mall location with friendly service and fair price. Dim Sum is monterey park level. Duck is first rate. It has its charm but you have to give up on fast service or ambience. However, if great authentic Chinese food is a priority with no fuss or pretense this place is solid gold. Im here twice a month. That good.“

“The best Chinese food in Los Angeles, I have been going for YEARS I’ve probably gained 30 lbs the first 30 days“
