50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Venice

“Had a great meal! Forwent ordering potstickers in order to try the enticingly named Gang of 4 ×4 - a delicious decision! The Mao's Hometown was just-right spicy, and I'm sure they put more than $2 extra shrimp on my order. Service friendly and prompt, loved the art. I felt as though I had wandered back into college in the early '70s.“

“I came in for an early lunch and the food was so fresh and delicious. I noticed I was only charged $.35 for a credit card use so that’s a plus. A price of an orange chicken bowl with chow mein was under $10. It got me really full, so I’m really satisfied. If you’re craving Chinese American food, you won’t be let down here.“

“Came around 6:30, it was completely empty. Plenty of free parking in the back. This location is BEAUTIFUL, so new, so clean, even the bathrooms are well kept. I think the hour that I came a lot of pick ups were happening so the food was constantly being made fresh. The staff were really sweet and I’m very happy! I even opted to eat here and finish some work before leaving cause it was so bright and clean.“

“Great place to try out... been coming here for 29years..“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Love, love, love Jade Rabbit. A new and unique take on Chinese American cuisine. Everything tasted fresh and the flavors were amazing. The vibe was fun, the staff was friendly and helpful and the food was legit. Definitely adding JR to the rotation for lunch AND dinner!“

“Incredible experience - The staff were so accommodating and the food was genuinely the best Chinese I've ever had.
I had the soup dumplings which were so good I ordered seconds, followed by the pork belly bun which was recommended to me and I couldn't have been more happy!
I'm annoyed I only came across this place on the last day of my trip in LA or I would've come multiple times
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“I like this place about the food is wonderful“

“Fantastic food at an extremely reasonable price. You can easily get full for 20$. We had a huge spread of dumplings, our favorite was the spicy pork dunpling and the pork and leek pancakes. Everything was delicious and seemed hand made. Service is very casual. This is a great spot to share food with people you care about you will get great shareable food and service that is attentive without being interrupting.“

“I've been going here since the 90's as a kid with my family 🫶🏾 I'm 40yrs old living in Vegas now and this is still the BEST Chinese food I've ever had! Every time I visit LA, this place is a must stop!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I don't think you'd find a better value for food that's freshly cooked and potentially quite healthy. The Mongolian barbecue is only $5.99 a pound and I can't even buy food for that.
Meet right in front of you and available with plenty of fresh ingredients.
Not a fancy place but a good place to eat.
Highly recommended!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was craving quick, cheap, and delicious Chinese food, and was super focused on getting a good value with massive portion sizes. I googled easy Chinese spots going down the 405 and came across Chinese Kitchen. Johan was 12/10 in customer service. They let me sample everything and every single dish was genuinely so flavorful and tasty. I couldn’t recommend going here enough.“

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

“Fortune House Chinese Cuisine delivers flavorful, well-prepared dishes with generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers a great mix of classic favorites and house specialties, all served hot and fresh. Friendly staff and quick service make it a reliable spot for satisfying, authentic Chinese comfort food.“

“A hidden gem: this small, un-flashy restaurant is in a weirdly-shaped traffic-island/mini-mall in the worst intersection in the world (Fairfax/Olympic/SanVicente), next to a Dunkin's and a liquor store. But the food is unreal: everything I've tried there is pitch-perfect, from the wide variety of dumplings to the salads, noodles, and fried foods. Our family includes two foodie adults, an increasingly adventurous 11-year-old, and a very unadventurous 4-year-old, and this is one of the few places that all four of us absolutely love. Particular favorites include the soup dumplings, potstickers, popcorn shrimp, chow mein, pork buns, and napa cabbage salad, but really everything is good. The noodles have that smoky wok hei flavor, the dumplings are perfectly balanced and textured, even the popcorn shrimp and chicken are expertly seasoned and fried. The space is basic but pleasant and calm. The owners are friendly and helpful, but in a subtle and quiet way, they're not going to hover over your table and make lots of small talk. They've been very patient with our younger kid, who can be kind of noisy. We love this place; it's much better than some of the flashier and more expensive places in the west 3rd st. area a few blocks north.“

“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“

“Best Chinese Chicken Salad there is!“

“What can I say. They did everything right. Great food, it was hard for me to stop eating it. The egg drop soup is insanely fantastic. The service was excellent. Very kind and attentive staff. We ordered multiple dishes and, each one was up to par. I definitely recommend this spot.“

“If you like quality Chinese cuisine, go to Little Asia ASAP! My party of three loved the food! We had egg rolls, sesame chicken, lemon chicken, and string beans with beef. We shared those dishes and had to force ourselves to stop eating once we were full! I highly recommend this great restaurant!“

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

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

“Vanessa N. was so sweet greated us with a smile and a wonderful personality.. She was so calm and professional easy to talk to. My wife and I enjoyed Vanessa recommendation. Definitely will be coming back again. We enjoy the food. Great portions, very clean kitchen and bathroom Music and Air-condition set perfect. Not to loud actually carry a conversation at your table and still able to hear your spouse or friends. Vanessa really added a special part to this great restaurant. Prices are very reasonable $ Ask for Vanessa N if you want amazing service. Thank you for making are first visit amazing.“

“My wife and I really enjoyed the food. For the appetizer we ordered the egg rolls and steamed dumpling. The egg rolls was the best I have had in California. The dumplings were just ok. We also ordered some pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and garlic shrimp. They give you large portions and it tasted amazing.“

“Very nice good location and parkig“

“Every thing look so yummy n fresh ... Every body pls join n try it at Chinatown Express“

“I was staying with friends nearby in Santa Monica and ended up walking to this spot almost every day I was in town. It was that good!!

What truly stood out was how warm and welcoming the staff was. The front lady was so sweet, she even called me Queen ❤️ and it made the whole experience feel personal and comforting.

We kept coming back for their lo mein which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made every single time. And I have to say… their sesame chicken? Easily some of the BEST I’ve ever had. Saucy, crispy, and unforgettable.

If you’re in the Santa Monica area, definitely stop by. I ended up there more times than I planned, which says everything.“

“I am Din Tai Fung’s biggest fan and the today went to the Santa Monica location located inside Santa Monica Place :) Stunning location and recommend sitting outside: the views are immaculate!! I got to try the new matcha jasmine latte which was a 10/10 for me. I appreciate the ceremonial grade matcha comes unsweetened and the jasmine milk tea is sweetened so it’s the perfect blend. Some of my personal favorites: shrimp fried rice, string beans, & crab xiao long bao, & cucumber salad :) Sam was our server today and he was an absolute gem!!’ So professional and nice!! I can tell this location has a great and strong management team. The way all the employees present themselves shows structure and genuineness. Can’t wait to be back again“

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

“My wife and I ate here on a whim, and it did not disappoint. We were on a time crunch so we decided to takeout. The three cup chicken and short rib dan mein were big hits in our house. Dumplings were also excellent. We look forward to dining at the restaurant again! Keep up the good work!

Parking: Parking is more than sufficient as it is shared with the shopping plaza.“

“I've been coming here for a few years and the food is always great and the service is always wonderful. They're so helpful and welcoming. It's just a straight up, old school, Chinese restaurant serving up the classics. Portion sizes are pretty big and always tasty. I have not had a bad experience here yet. Nothing bad to say about this place at all.“

“Great! Excellent food!“

“I have been bringing my office staff for birthday events since 2004!
Excellent FOOD WITH LIFE & FLAVOR!
There’s isn’t anything on this menu I would love❤️!!!
MUST TRY GARLIC CRAB & FUSH WITH BKACK BEAN SAUCE!
Delicious soft pillows of tender bites of the best fish!
MUST TRY!“

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

“I’ve been coming to K&A Chinese Restaurant since I was about 12 or 13 years old, and it’s still one of my favorite spots. The food has always been amazing, and the quality has never changed. Their orange chicken is an absolute must—seriously one of the best you’ll ever have. I’ve kept coming back for years because everything is consistently delicious and comforting. Highly recommend this place!“

“This Chinese restaurant exceeded all expectations! The service was exemplary—attentive but not overbearing, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding, especially the General Tso’s chicken, which was crispy on the outside and tender inside. The ambiance was equally impressive, with stunning Asian-inspired décor and cozy lighting that set the perfect mood for a meal. It’s the perfect spot for both a casual dinner or a special celebration!“

“Can you get better Chinese food in LA for far cheaper. Absolutely, but you’d have to drive to SGV. For the Westside, this is about as good as it gets. The soup dumpling were thin skinned, flavorful and juicy, and everything else, from the Mapo tofu to the beef roll was very decent.“

“I was searching for Chinese fast food and found this place. Conveniently located not far from the airport and the owner was friendly and attentive. I ordered the pork short rib (soy glazed), fried chicken wings (sweet and sour), and curry chicken (very flavorful). Since I got there 30 mins before closure, one third of the entrees were sold out but I’m still pleased with the what I got. I would recommend both curry chicken and chicken wings, the pork ribs are a little bit saltier to my preference.

Would consider coming back and try their rice or noodle next time!“

“Great food great service. Nice and clean and remodeled inside“

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

“Just LOVED my street noodles. They were spicy even though I ordered them mild. Fresh noodles are THE BEST!“

“Really great spot I've been coming here for over 17 years. The price is great for the food you get. I would recommend going before or after the lunch rush. They can get pretty busy and the fresh food goes quick. On the bright side their cooks are really good at getting fresh food out quickly, plus the server is great at his job he's fast friendly and efficient.“

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

“Panda Express is one of the most reasonably priced chain restaurants with fabulous nutritious and delicious food. My only issue was that the wok fried shrimp was a little too spicy for me. I note that I really have very little tolerance to hot spicy dishes. I would have liked some warning that the wok fried shrimp had chili in it. Nevertheless, I added some plain rice to my meal when I got home and it was fine. My friend happily eats chili and he loved his meal.“
