“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.“

“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!“

“The place is great staff is friendly. Recommend the spicy seafood soup or chicken coconut soup. Have dined in for lunch usually call for takeout for dinner. Skip the appetizers as entrees are almost the same price. Would recommend to friends and family A+.“

“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.

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 🥡✨“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was Amazing !!! I'll admit i was skeptical because the food looked simple but the FLAVOR is top notch! We ordered the dumplings, wonton, chicken wonton soup, the Radish soup a pork bowl, and the chow mien. Lots of flavor, definitely my new to go spot!“

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

“The food is delicious. :)“

“I was staying at a nearby hotel and decided to come here. I have to say, the chicken in black bean sauce, kinda slaps. It’s a bit of an unassuming joint, and more of a takeout spot, but they do have plenty of seating. Definitely coming again next time I’m in the area! 👍🏾👍🏾“

“Great service despite being slightly understaffed
Super kind and accommodating
Love the parking lot in the back
Affordable prices and love the portions
Good for parties up to 8
Recommend: Peking duck, fried pork dumplings, steamed fish, Chinese broccoli, sesame chicken, and fried rice
Skip: steamed vegetable dumplings and fried pork chop“

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

“Best Chinese Chicken Salad there is!“

“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 restaurant was empty but had a few people picking up food, the food was great, it was a little dark inside just natural lighting which bugged out my friend. The ladies attending us were very nice and attentive . Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.“

“Best Chinese food in town“

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

“I used to frequent this place circa 2001-2002. Does anyone know what happened to the people who owned it at that time?“

“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 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“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.“
