50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Van Nuys

“Black bean fish was superb! It came out hot and fresh in the fish was so fluffy and flavorful in the sauce. It was delightful. I grew up ordering house special fried rice, but my husband prefers chicken fried rice. Most times I’m disappointed and longing for my childhood staple but this chicken fried rice was actually flavorful and delicious. The chicken was very fresh and tender. Now, unfortunately, I ordered the roast duck and roast pork plate and left most of it on the table. It may be because it was the end of the day, but it was very lackluster. It tasted stale. The skin was not crispy and we almost asked to have it taken off the bill, but I did eat a lot of the duck so we just know not to order it again. The duck was at least edible. The pork was not. It was just so dry and lacked flavor. The skin looked crispy, but it was not crispy at all. It was leathery.“

“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!“

“First time here and we loved it! Chow mein and orange chicken were super delicious. The soup was okay — some liked it, some thought it was a bit sour, so l'd try a different one next time. Thai tea was really good too. Staff was attentive and friendly, and the place was clean. Would definitely come back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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 fantastic dinner here last night, and a big part of that was our server, Ash. Ash was warm and genuine, gave great recommendations, and kept our drinks and plates taken care of all night without us ever having to flag anyone down. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed. Ash is the kind of server who makes you want to come back. Highly recommend asking for Ash's section.“

““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!”“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Chinese Chicken Salad there is!“

“Just had a lovely dinner while in town! The staff were very friendly & made my birthday chill & special! The atmosphere is really incredible, I had the pleasure of dining in the train car & couldn’t have been happier! Food was delicious, drinks were A+, & can’t emphasize enough how cool the vibe & decor was. Will absolutely be back next time I’m in LA!!!“

“This restaurant serves incredible authentic Chinese food! The dining space is clean and tastefully decorated, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere for meals. Every dish we ordered was bursting with rich, genuine flavors and cooked with great care. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion sizes were generous. We had such a wonderful dinner experience here. I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone craving amazing Chinese cuisine and a pleasant dining environment.“

“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 🙋🏽‍♂️“

“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.)“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

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

“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.“

“was absolutely delectable that night kung pao chicken sweet and sour chicken Walnut glaze shrimp fried combo rice it was so good we ate everything. but mosquitoes inside a restaurant was intolerable I went out with five at least five bites. I don't know if you need insect spray there but that was a bad night it was 100 outside and inside there were plenty of mosquitoes Dr Phil“

“Excellent food, freshly cooked and really delicious . Top notch customer service, owners Leo and Claudia welcomes all guest like welcoming them to their house. The price is very reasonable, all the friends I brought to them enjoyed and loved the food. Highly recommended, it’s a hidden gem in Sun Valley…. 5 star overall….“

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

“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.“

“Nice quiet restaurant I found while waiting on my friend at a nearby store. Stephanie who served me was very nice and pleasant the entire time! The orange chicken was pretty good, battered moist and sweet, but because I was in a hurry I didn't get to fully check out the menu so next time I will definitely try something else.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Yo.... Northern Cafe is so good. The beef fried rice was 🔥 the beef pancake was 🔥 the chicken soup dumplings was 🔥 the pork wontons in spicy was 🔥 and the house special beef soup was 🔥 the popcorn chicken was 🔥 and the cucumber salad was 🔥 10 out of 10“

“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 have been to a bunch of different Chinese restaurants as a Hollywood veteran, and I believe this is the best Chinese food in Hollywood.“

“I had dinner at Gourmet Palace China Bistro on Saturday around 6:30 PM with my family and ordered the orange chicken, beef with broccoli, shrimp fried rice, and a basket of steamed dumplings to share. Everything came out fresh and hot in about 15 minutes. The orange chicken had a crispy coating with a flavorful sauce that wasn't overly sweet, and the beef was tender with plenty of fresh broccoli. The shrimp fried rice had generous pieces of shrimp and wasn't greasy, and the dumplings were soft with a tasty filling. Our server checked on us a couple of times, kept our drinks refilled, and made sure we had extra plates for sharing. The restaurant was clean, the portions were generous, and we even had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. It was a great family dinner, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.“

“💯 % recommend go now and try“

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

“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.“

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

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

“A Korean run Chinese skewer shop, serving lamb and beef skewers and other Korean/Chinese dishes. Skewers were tender and flavorful. Other dishes and banchan were really good too. Staff was great and basically cooks the skewers for you. The seating area is a bit small and ventilation isn't great so you'll def be smelling like bbq.“

“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.“

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

“Definitely generous portions, great value. I thought the beef with broccoli was excellent. Chow mein and orange chicken were enjoyable. Very casual style food, not fancy and didn’t expect it to be. Would definitely visit again. Cheers.“

“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. 🥡✨“

“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!“

“Been here many times and never had a complaint. The food is always good and fresh, large portions and very reasonable price. The Japanese chicken is killer and cant be found elsewhere. Also there are two noodle options, chow mein or rice noodles and they're both good. Its always clean and they have a large selection of options. Chicken wings are made to order and always taste good. There are closer chinese food places to me but I will drive here over them, its worth it 10/10 will visit again (and again and again)“

“My partner and I have come to consider this our spot in Burbank. It’s always nice to come here when I’m in town. Delicious, affordable, and comfortable. I’m a vegetarian, and I’ve been able to order something different every time I’ve gone. Nothing I didn’t like! I also enjoy getting to refill my metal water cup at the table or ordering hot tea and refilling that little cup with the teapot. It’s the little things.“
