“This was one of the two places i visited on new year's and by far the better of the two restaurants!So happy with their lu rou fan!!! Realmy brings me back to taiwan. The other dishes: dumplings, tantan noodles were on par with what I've eaten in Taipei and Tainan, and dare I say better. The only difference being the price, nearly 10x, but that's the reality of living in LA.My friends were happy as well, and it was a great way to introduce some of them to my culture as well. Thank you Pine and Crane!“
“Wow, this is a must dine at spot when in L.A. Their soup dumplings were absolutely delicious. The noodle dish was so so, wouldn't order that again. Also it took over 55 minutes for our food to come out but waitress apologised by removing a small item from our bill at the end which was appreciated.“

“I love this place. Friendly people and great food. The best beef and broccoli ever. If you are snooty and need pretentious nonsense in a restaurant, please skip. This is salt of the Earth dining in a pleasant atmosphere (or take out) where the food shows how much work went into it.“
“AMAZING Expect waiting outside, party of 2 was 20-25 min Saturday afternoon and cannot call in to be added to it. Everything on the menu is great but the French toast, pork belly fried rice, and strawberry tea were the best. Limited seating and one restroom but highly recommend.“
“I love trying new vegan places but finding a new one where you would least expect, is awesome! Showed up around noon and the place was empty. The employees were really courteous and helpful and recommended a few items I should try which made ordering an easy choice. We (family of 5) ended up ordering 2 Chinese combo plates and a taco plate (one of each). Took about 15-20 min to make which isn’t too bad considering I didn’t call ahead. The Chinese food was good but the Taco plate was excellent!!! Definitely going back to try out more of the Mexican dishes. Plenty of parking.“
“A bit pricey, but it's an excellent Pho restaurant. Food are really delicious ? Parking might be difficult. Tiny plaza with narrow parking spaces. But people come and go quickly... I took out 1 ⭐ for their parkings. Really hate their parking.“
“My go-to spot in Chinatown Los Angeles for Pho!Very quick prompt service.This place tends to get filled with hungry, happy customers pretty rapidly.Don't worry, just tell them your party size and they'll get to you sooner rather than later. IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT! With quick service, you'll be seated in no time.I've been coming here since, like 2012.There is street parking and some parking lots around. So you have the luxury of choosing your perfered parking. Basically, there's free parking and paid parking all around the restaurant.Treat your stuff to some amazing Pho, and lasty, don't forget about the spring rolls with peanut sauce for appetizers !My girlfriend is vegetarian, so she ordered #22 on the menu: vegetarian tofu with rice noodles or egg noodles. Size small or regularI ordered the #15: well done brisket, fatty brisket, tendon, and tripe. Size largeWe prefer to get the rice noodles!Vegetarian options: #22 on the menu is vegetarian tofu with rice noodle or egg noodle Pho“
“The food at Henry's restaurant is delicious, with top-quality ingredients. You can't get enough of the Vietnamese lobster noodles, and the beef tenderloin melts in your mouth. It never disappoints. You can try it, you will definitely like it!“
“The food was so authentic it stunned my mom. I've never seen her so pleasantly surprised by a restaurant. It's hard to find dishes like Liangpi and Big Plate Chicken outside of China, and even if you can the flavors are often diluted. The noodles here were perfectly chewy, the stew in the BPC was rich and thick (rivaling Dolan's even). And the prices aren't bad at all. We'll be coming here again, and exploring their other locations too.“
“5⭐ specifically for the Boon Boon Noodle - Pork. Perfect sauce, perfect texture, absolutely nothing to complain about. Solid 4⭐ for Chicken rice 2.0.Not sure if the tea ceremony was worth it, but it's fun to do it once. I actually enjoyed their regular tea more. The Aged pear was a fun one.Cute space, accommodating staff, and you can make reservations with Google assistant, which is great for busy (or lazy, like me) people ?.“
“This skewers are very fresh. We chose tomatoes and medium spicy mandarin duck pot at the bottom of the pot. There are many varieties of beef skewers. The friends gathered with the mentality of trying casually, but I didn't expect that the quality was very good. We will come back regularly!“
“Highly recommended for those looking for authentic Chinese food with great customer service. Options available for more Western palettes as well. The menu is straightforward and easy to order for both Chinese and English speaker.Seafood was extremely fresh - my personal favorite was the lobster noodle and steamed bass!“
“I’ve eaten here a few times, both dine in and delivery. The kebabs are always amazing. The spice mix is truly incredible.If you dine in, you make an order on a mobile site (via a QR code on the table) that lets your whole party add to the order and see what everyone else has ordered — it’s very convenient for a full table where you plan to eat family style!“
“First time trying hot pot. The server was super nice and took thier time to explain the menu and how to order. You can choose 2 diffrent broths with spice levels.or just one pot. Then you add meat and veggies. They have a sauce bar which was fun to creat mix or just choose from there.“
“This place is great with lots of food options and it's self serve so you can grab your own meats and veggies as you can choose whatever and how many you want. They offer alot of meats and veggies and well kept in fridges. Been going to this place and enjoy it, will return once again soon.“
“I absolutely love this restaurant. It's a must stop for my daily when we are in town. Food is amazing and super cheap. The staff always remembers us when we come back.Parking: Parking lot in the back and parking on the street. Both are free.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and boosters provided.“
“been coming here for about 20 years. the main reason is the consistency of the food they serve here. over the years with travels, I have found higher quality and / or varieties at other local Chinese spots. However, if you want a tired and true experience, you can bank on Randy's.“
“One of the most unique flavors in the area and done well! We've been here several times and recommend to friends visiting or anyone wanting to try something new.PARKING / ARRIVAL / VIBE:Two small lots are available for customers and street parking if those are full. When you walk in you see white cloth tables and some paper on top of those and pretty multicolored lighting, with TV screens and music playing traditional views and tunes.We arrived about an hour before closing (group of 5 on a Friday evening) and were seated promptly, and it was busy! We were there to chat and dine so got comfortable. Menu has traditional options, appetizers, entrees, vegetarian, desserts, and drinks (in particular they have traditional teas!).SERVICE:Our servers were friendly and efficient, making sure all is good, plates are cleared, all that good stuff with making you feel welcome!FOOD:Fresh and arrived as they are ready. The SHREDDED POTATO was excellent! Potato slivers soaked in flavor, not too spicy and just the right amount of tangy, so good. The large BONELESS BIG PLATE CHICKEN is indeed large and heaped in a mound of chicken and potato chunks atop large flat noodles with sauce; a staple order and the chicken toothsome and flavorful. The LAGHMAN hand pulled noodles with stir fried peppers and beef has a wonderful flavor and the noodles are very springy, you can even see the slight difference of thickness which proves they are hand pulled. the PEARLED NOODLES are kind of like a chopped version of the LAGHMAN - spoonfuls of beefy and chewy noodle goodness, kind of like a rich pasta dish! I would recommend all four of these dishes, they are the perfect size and amount for 5 people.Dessert: their BAKLAVA is one of the best I've had, lots of layers that shatter through to plenty of pistachio filling, nutty and not too sweet like a lot of other baklavas! Delicious end to a delicious meal :)So glad they're in the area and will always recommend this place to friends (or take them here!).“
“Looking back at some of my favorite meals of 2023 and Chifa is high on the list. I went in skeptical because growing up this place used to be a pet shop! The place is now obviously completely renovated and the food is absolutely incredible. I was not expecting to love it this much, I find myself craving the Lomo Saltado and I’m not even a big red meat fan to begin with. Veggies and noodles had tons of yummy flavor. Definitely worth a try!“
“A little pricey for what you get. Dude at the cashier is not friendly what so ever. After I paid for my to go order, the receipt printed out and he was standing there waiting for me to add a tip. Personally, if you want a tip, be polite and friendly. And I believe tips should be given if the service is great or if someone eats in and they have to clean up after them. Not just because.. again, I would have tipped if he was polite even though I’m taking it to goParking: Not much to talk about“
“This is a good karaoke spot with typical prices for K-town but actually friendlier & more personable staff than most! The system with the drinks minimum is what it is, when I'm not in the mood for an extravagant alcohol soaked party I just go to the mall in little Tokyo, but this spot is nice for that classic Korean karaoke atmosphere. I also wanted to make a comment referencing some negative reviews talking about "escorts". Korean karaoke bars do not allow escorts. If you see attractive women wearing heels, they are karaoke hostesses, and their job is to sing and bring a celebratory atmosphere for parties that are looking for that. Calling them escorts is just misogynistic and kind of xenophobic honestly.“
“Good Chinese food USED to be easy to find not so any more. This was the best Chinese food I have had in years, literally! The Door Dash delivery was horrible but that is a separate issue and as bad as it was it still did not diminish the meal. I can't wait to take my wife & daughter to the Pasadena location.“
“2023.09.16 \First visit/Originally, I wasn’t very interested in eating noodles in LA, but Flavor Noodles changed my mind. This time I ordered fatty beef noodles in sour soup, Sichuan style fat intestine noodles, and red oil noodles. I can’t choose which one is more delicious, I like them both! Looking forward to ordering something else on my next visit that I didn't have the stomach for this time.2024.01.09\Second interview/I finally had the opportunity to visit for a second time, but today I was a bit disappointed. I ordered beef noodles with raw pepper, Sichuan-style fat intestine noodles, and red oil noodles. The Chao Shou was more delicious than the last time I had it, but the taste of both bowls of noodles was a bit bland. Last time the sausage was very full, but today it looks thin. The beef noodles with raw pepper are quite spicy. Will be willing to visit again to see if today was just an anomaly, but will order back the beef noodles in sour soup next time.Recommended: Fatty Beef Noodles in Sour Soup“
“Very interesting place , the food is top notch , they served you super well portions and the flavor is super , the lady that welcomes you is a character in a good way , is super nice and attentive, but with a little hyper crazy personality... their only fault is place needs to be a little more organized as you can see boxes and tables for storage and plain view ... but overall a good place ... that tea wasn't that good either ( super hot be careful)“
“Denny is enough of a reason to go here as any! Great service and he's someone who clearly cares about his customers (checking in with everyone and even helping someone retrieve their phone from an Uber). The atmosphere was comfortable - not fancy, but homey. I'm veg, so not the best judge of the food (I heard the beef soup noodles were great), but I enjoyed the food as well.“
“It must be ages to me to remember when was the last time I was here. This time, I was here after the LA Chinatown firecracker run. And boy, the food quality amazed me, and the service was top-notch. We are a group of 11, and we ordered lots of food. The dish that stood out was the salt fish tofu hot pot. It was so good that our group ordered two. The taste was good and the smell of saltfish made you wonder where was this dish my whole life. I will go back to try other dishes.“
“We celebrated the new year luncheon here. You need to make a reservation first cause they have lots of customers. Their flavors of dishes here are all awesome. It's an authentic Cantonese cuisine. The special bun is astonishing. It has shrimp, chicken and vegetables in it and filled with the soup. Tasted great. The seafoods here are very fresh. We ordered the gold lobster, fried squid and cashew nut shrimps. All of these tasted great. The services here are friendly and warm. They will help you to counter help. And the atmosphere here was nice. Though is not a big restaurant. But full with feeling of hometown. Recommended. It is an independent store that has been operating for more than 40 years. It tastes really good and it is authentic Cantonese cuisine. Every time All the dishes are exquisite and attentive. I like the pomegranate buns they ordered. They have shrimp, vegetables, chicken and full of soup. The skin of the duck with taro paste is crispy and very tasty. The skin of the glutinous rice chicken roll is also very chewy. I have eaten here before. The most authentic taste, the golden lobster is quite big and can only feed 11 people. It is delicious with salted egg yolk and the meat is plump. The fried squid is very crispy and the meat is very tender. Even the stir-fried soybean sprouts are very delicious after inhaling the chicken broth. eatThe overall taste is really first-class, the price is moderate, and the service is very attentive and will always help change the plates. Business is very good. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance.The overall experience is great. Highly recommended.“
“There's a reason why NBC Seafood has been in business for so many years. If you know Monterey Park and Alhambra area well, you'd see restaurants come and go so often that it would not be a surprise if you go to the same restaurant the second time and the name has been changed .NBC Seafood is a very good and authentic Cantonese food restaurant. Great place for a family gathering. Food is fantastic and quickly served. Everything seems to come out all at the same time so you'd get to enjoy everything at the same time.We had a party of 9 and we had a great time. And they always give free desserts.I highly recommend this place.“
“The food never disappoints!! I've been going once a week since finding out about this place! The food and price you pay no one can beat it! The service is great too they get you in and out for to go order. And if u do place a to go order online and place it on their website!“
“This place is the perfect spot for inexpensive, filling Chinese-American food. It has two buffets, one with pre-cooked food and one with meat and veggies for the Mongolian BBQ. You pay by the weight of what you eat. But the buffet food seems fresh because the restaurant is busy. If you're craving orange chicken or similarly deep fried foods, this is the place.“
“For the ultimate Korean-Chinese dining experience in South Bay, look no further. Dive into authentic Jja Jang Myeon and Jjam Ppong at this must-visit establishment. Whether you're new to Korean cuisine or a seasoned foodie, it's the perfect starting point. Don't miss out on trying the Gan Jja Jang--it's a rare find with its smoky wok flavor, generous portions of diced onions and squash, and a less oily consistency compared to traditional Jja Jang Myeon. Highly recommended!“
“MIAN is a wonderful place for some really good food. There are great selections and the menu will satisfy all dietary requirements. The Crispy Half Chicken is great and the Spicy Beef Noodle is a can’t miss dish. This is a place that you will want to go back to again and again to taste everything on the menu.“
“The beef chow fun is literally, no exaggeration, the best plate of noodles I've ever had in my life. Not only the kind of flavorful that goes through your whole body, but the beef was tender as butter. The hot and sour soup was also exemplary. I'm kind of a man of habit and it takes a lot to add a restaurant to my regular favorites rotation; Fu Plus jumped to the top of the list and it's likely to stay there. Holy cow.“
“Very nice and authentic restaurant. All the workers have very kind hearts and are generally very kind people. I'm surprised that such an epic movie was filmed here. If anyone reads this, I was the kid in the black hoodie with a smile. 03-14-24.Very nice and authentic restaurant. Every worker is very kind hearted and they are overall very kind people. I am amazed that such an epic movie was filmed here. If anyone reads this I was the kid with the black hoodie with a smile face on it. 3-14-24.“
“Great food. I love coming here to try the b variety of dishes. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but if I had to choose, I would recommend the mongolian beef and the wor won ton soup. Great service as well and the food is made fresh ?.“
“100% recommend this place. Ordered: -Potato Noodle -Fried Chicken Pro: -Potato noodle was really good. Chewy and savory. We got the seafood meatballs but they also have a beef one. The broth was spicy and not too heavy tasting. -The chicken was savory sweet, a bit sticky and a delight to eat! There are a lot of bones and the meat is slightly chewy which makes a pleasant texture. -Interior was clean, bright and cute -Plenty of parking inside the structure -Price is reasonable Con: -No credit card payment under $30“
“I moved her about a week ago and Uncle John's was one of the first places I stopped at and I now have to look no further for anything else. I get coffee here every day and have had two of their lunch boxes (today was bbq pork w sesame cold noodles, minus a few bites I took before the photo) for only $8 and what great portions and quality they give you. The place is always filled with people eating and talking, customer service is the best. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!“
“Browsing through Yelp and discovered Noodle St. I ordered to go and got the shrimp stir fry, Korean bbq and fried tofu. They were all amazing! However, the Korean bbq was a little salty for my liking. Finding parking on the street is a little bit hard to find and that's understandable. I came on a Sunday and there were people everywhere.The decor is very current and seems like a nice atmosphere. I would definitely come back and dine in.“
“I loved it. The dessert sesame paste filled buns are amazzzzing.I would only suggest they ask you first if you want ice in your drink, because its brought with ice by default (like anywhere else here ?) and it would be nice to remind you that they could make it withouht it.“
“The food was delicious!! My friend and I ordered 6 different plates because we couldn't narrow it down to a few. My favorites were the wonton soup and the lemon pork. The chicken fried rice was also good, uniquely salted, which we both enjoyed. The only downside was the service. We got food but no water or drinks that we ordered until we couldn't find our server for 30 minutes, and the gal bussing the tables helped us. It happens. We will be back because we have more to try. The menu's enormous.Parking: Park behind the restaurant.“
“You know a spot is good when the only menu displayed has faded photos of various dishes with no descriptions or dish titles. Only the real ones know. Every time I come here, I meet a local who’s been coming here since the 80s or 90s and it is so comforting to know that a place like this exists. Love the food, owner, consistency, quality, and history of this place.Run by one guy and one guy only, make sure to be patient while waiting for your order if it gets packed, maybe clean up the tables around you while you wait. Doesn’t hurt to help.“
“Flavor is good, they use a lot of garlic. Amount was enough but not for big appetites. Price is in average of Panda Express.Food was barely warm , and when is raining you just want your food hot. Service was good, they do not ask for tip, that is voluntary. Dining room is ok, chairs are for fast people, do not try to stay more than 15 min or pay your rent. I’ll be back but I’ll ask the waitress to please tell people staff be sure my delicious food is hot and healthy. I just realized, that must be keeping over 135 f degrees to be healthy, right?Anyway I’ll be back because I love garlic as a seasoning. Thank you“
“The good : I love how they went for a chic yet street food aesthetic for their restaurant. I think it really emulates Chinese food which definitely plays into the experience of eating here. The portions and platings were very good and we were able to try many dishes. With that said I think the food was just okay. The Mid : Maybe it's because I am Chinese so I've tasted better Chinese food before so that's why I wasn't super impressed. I will say tho I really liked the fried rice because they added the Chinese sausage to it which makes the taste really authentic keke. There definitely is better and Chinese food in the LA area because they definitely are a western twist. but I do think the ambiance makes up for the lack of an oomph factor in the flavors and I also wish they cut back on the oil a little.“
“Amazing food, friendly service! The waitress explained how everything was and was super friendly. The soup came very quickly and it was absolutely delicious.There are several soup base flavors, I picked the sour/spicy one which reminds me of pickled veggie with fish soup, which I absolutely love.They also have small dishes, the potato strips are the best I've had in the US so far, they were thin and soft and reminded me of China.Prices were reasonable too!“
“Came to this restaurant for the spicy bullfrog. It's mid spicy and flavorful. We also ordered the rice cake and the dry-fried string beans. They both tasty. The rice cake is very chewy and tastes better dipping the brown sugar sauce. The string beans are crispy. Will come back.“
“Highly recommend this excellent spot for takeout Chinese! Everything is very tasty, and they have a large menu and selection. Take out takes about 20 mins. I didn't see a way to order online on their website, so you may have to call to make your order. Parking lot on site but it is normally cramped and hard to find a spot. Friendly staff and easy Apple Pay options to make getting in and out quick. I really enjoyed the Kung Pao Tofu and will be back!“
“I stop here sometimes in the morning before work to get donuts for everyone. They're so good. It's just a woman and her husband and both of them are super nice and super helpful. I went in today with a friend of mine to get lunch and it was really good, really filling and affordable. The woman working seems to really care about the customers and will talk to them and remember little bits about them. If you're ever in Silverlake you have to stop here. Q“
“One of my favorite Sichuan Pot in the area. They use plenty of food and sauce inside the broth. For the Fish fillet and Frog in Sichuan Mala Broth, it's the size for two people with many fish fillet and frogs inside the large pot. Though it's a little bit spicy, the proteins are pretty good with the fantastic taste. The staff told me that their boss asked them to add enough food to ensure customers' satisfaction. What a great experience of dining here. Attention to adjust the spicy level for any one of the pots.“
“Had the hainan chicken with dark meat. Sauces were delicious! Server was super nice and refilled our sauce trays with generous amounts. We let her know we had a flight to catch and she helped get us fed and on our way quickly. We made the flight ? Thank you!!“
“Had a appointment at 12 with the traffic and another company holding me up. I got to their facility 2 hours after my appointment time. They had no problem with that got me right on a door and was loaded with in a hour. This place is a little tight to back into but it's a straight back off the street just have to time the light right and hopefully the people in the cars will stop and give you a couple of minutes to get yourself setup for the straight back from the street.“
