“Excellent! In a place where there is only fast food with greasy sandwiches, Panda provides you with a pleasant Chinese food experience.It's worth stopping when you see a Panda.Parking: It was quiet, there were plenty of spaces.Kid-friendliness: Yes. Family atmosphere.“
“I love Pine & Crane! Seriously amazing Taiwanese food. The restaurant is stylish, modern and clean while the food is very authentic and completely delicious. My kids were surprised at how tasty everything was. Healthy too! We will def be back often!!!! If they have it, the lotus root salad is a must! 3 cup chicken is amazing, wontons, etc… I want to try the wood ear mushrooms next!!!“

“The Real Deal. From the hot and sour soup to the orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, garlic green beans, eggplant, lo mein, it’s got it all-we’ve been twice after a Kings game and have not been disappointed- we over order just to get the variety of flavors in our mouths. The food is fantastic, the staff is genuine and gets the importance of hospitality.“
“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.“
“Xiao long bao is excellent. Beef noodles are flavored just right. Beef is very tender. Noodle texture is perfect. Braised pork belly is very yummy. One suggestion is to slice the pork belly thinner. It's hard to eat a large chunk and get all the layers.“
“Classic pho place that my parents brought us to when we were kids. I realized that my parents, especially my dad, was a true foodie of his time, before all the technology and online reviews were even available. He brought us to try so many different cuisines, and we have come to appreciate Vietnamese food since we were kids.“
“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.“
“I feel almost like I shouldn't be even writing this review bc THIS IS HOW COOL THIS PLACE IS! So don't come here to work and chill! Don't come to chat with these cool kids Sam and Lydia!! And never come here to enjoy the tea and space. Also, don't bring your friends bc THIS PLACE IS DOPE. Period!“
“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.“
“The place it's beautiful on the back has a little place whit plant an tarp so can enjoy outdoor whit a heating system if feel cold and the ambient it's nice for Saturday dinner and the food we'll it's Japanese food it's delicious enjoy“
“We had such a phenomenal experience with Katarina at the bar… Katarina is an incredibly talented and thoughtful bartender. The drinks and the food were delicious and came out quick, and vegan friendly. We loved Katarina’s energy.Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie optionsDietary restrictions: I am vegan and had plenty of options.“
“Refined and elegant Cantonese food that highlights ingredients like duck, beef, and pork to take it to the next level. Amazing service from the whole team made it a lovely experience for our family of 4. We look forward to coming back soon!“
“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.“
“So much fun in this clean and festive karaoke spot in the heart of Koreatown LA! Service is impeccable, drink choices are abundant and finger foods were exactly what we were craving. We had so much fun singing together- the song choices were plentiful and we found all the ones we were looking for“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Ordered Kung pao chicken & beef broccoli combo also green tea (you know weather does funny things to us) service was awesome food was made to order I could hear them fire up the wok for my order. Received quickly. This is a perfect working man's lunch spot. I was under $18 for order & for Halal Quality that's a really good deal.“
“Very good food at a very good price, the chefs are very professional and cook the food very well, you can have the Mongolian BBQ or the Chinese food buffet, highly recommended if you want to eat well at a very good price, they have parking and they sell a delicious Thai “
“Known for their highly Instagrammable "Magic Noodles" that turn from blue to purple when you add their sauce. Fun and pretty decent meal with good sized prawns for protein. We also got their Drunken Noodles. A little smaller for the portion comparatively, but overall good flavor. They also have a brunch menu and Bottomless Mimosas for $25 wirh a 90 minute time limit! Pretty good deal and you can walk to the West Hollywood bars from here. Service was good and definitely kept our glasses filled! Ambiance is a little dated, but still cute.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“My wife and I had an amazing dinner experience at Chin Chin! The host greeted us warmly and immediately.We ordered the new Garlic Chili Crisp wontons and they were so delectable. The broth the wontons came in was delicious and had the right amount of spice, we couldn't resist finish it like a soup. My wife and I decided to share 3 entrees. The Crispy Spicy honey chicken, General Tso's chicken, and Vegetable Fried Rice. All were top notch! The highlight was the General Tso's chicken recommended by our fantastic server, Omar.Omar's hospitality was grade A! The manager also came by to check how we were doing and made sure our dining experience was going well. Outstanding service by all. Great establishment and the cherry on top was that there was easy parking access off of the busy sunset strip.We will be returning very soon. Five Stars!!!“
“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!!“
“After sailing in nasty conditions we pulled into marina del Rey and hoofed it over to this Chinese place for lunch. I had eaten there 20 years ago... that alone reveals they are doing something right... to survive decades in that trendy neighborhood is really something. When our delightful waitress found out we were sailors, she gave us some free stuff (strange anti-dirt lover mystical Chinese tea). She said we ordered too much food but we said we don't care- bring it! She was right we ordered too much but now we have leftovers. Anyway- in this day and age where prices have doubled and portions have evaporated, it is nice to eat at a place where the vibe is amazing and the food is abundant. We will be back!“
“The size of everything is double the size of normal dim sum. Their portion size is crazy be careful how much you order! Food is made to order! Comes out piping hot!! The food is 100% authentic. So delicious HUGE! Great jasmine tea. Funny and friendly staff. Clean inside. We had sooo much left overs. Plenty of seating. AC. I will definitely come back again. Again. And again.“
“Highly recommend the Chiu Chow Fish Ball Noodles here. The fish balls here are fresh and bouncy with the right amount of peppery. There’s seating outside of the restaurant in the plaza area, making for a nice people-watching lunch. Also, you can’t beat the price at ~$11 per bowl of noodles! Even with the saturated availability of Chinese/Teochow food in the SGV, I would still make the trek out to Chinatown for Kim Chuy’s fish ball noodles!“
“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.“
“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!“
“The food is authentic Cantonese Chinese food. It’s freshly made to order. The flavor is scrumptious. My Mom and Dad went there before I was even conceived. Now Iv taken my family. The decor has never changed nor been upgrade or kept up. Visually it’s unpleasing and very tight space. It’s a hole in the wall. If you only care about the food then definitely come here.Kid-friendliness: Your kids can be rowdy lol..“
“This is honestly our favorite take-out Chinese spot in Inglewood. It's been a staple here since the 80s. They give you huge portions for reasonable prices you won't find anywhere else.The food is always on point for your typical take-out. One time they forgot the appetizer we ordered and they gave us a credit for it the next time we came in. When we did, they gave us additional portions without us asking. It showed the owner cared.Yes, the ambiance hasn't changed since...the 80s, and the food isn't going to go above and beyond some of the places you'd find in Gardena or Chinatown but it's the typical spot you'd find everywhere across the East Coast when you need something quick, easy, and delicious. It's not trying to be trendy. The staff has always been helpful and kind.Check it out and grab some take out if you haven't.“
“Great food, better service. Ash was our server and was fantastic. Checked on our food multiple times and made sure we were okay. Even told us ahead of time how backed up the kitchen was which gave us guidance as to what to expect. Made sure we were taken care of very well. Fantastic server, thank you!“
“Meizhou Dongpo isn't quite what it used to be when it first opened years ago in terms of the quality of the dishes. It's still a very nice place to sit and take a break from strolling through the mall, but it's now best to stick to a few of their most popular dishes while steering clear of the rest. For many dishes, prices have gone up quite a lot while not preserving the quality of the dishes. The serrano pepper beef and crispy roast duck are still quite good and worth a visit. Other items that used to be amazing are no longer so, like the fried rice, which now amounts to very little other than small amounts of egg and cabbage in a large serving of oily rice.“
“Impromptu noodle spot on a rainy day. Was happy we did. A bowl of noodles for 13, and lamb soup with bun on the side for 17. Total with tax was about 34. Felt super nice and toasty eating at this spot on a rainy day. Lamb soup hit the spot, pretty generous amount of meat and soup had right amount of flavor with black pepper. Large portion of noodles. Love the home made table chili oil. The guy was super nice. He didn't accept tips, and insisted not taking. He said to visit more often instead. I find that super refreshing. Will be back!Side note there was a lady there who took our order, I saw others comment she isn't very enthusiastic, while we experienced similar I'd say the guy server made it up. We cut that part a slack.“
“Zzamong. Has the most comforting seafood noondle soup I've EVER had. We simply couldn't stop eating it. despite being full. It called the JJAMPPONG (KOREAN SPICY SEAFOOD NOODLE SOUP) and it's to die for. next time I'll try the crispy or sizziling rice soup! One Jjamppong is big enough for to hungry people with a Pork Dumpling App to start. (Also the best steamed pork dumplings I've ever had in recent memory. ) Happy eating!“
“Small mom-and-pop type of chinese restaurant. Cantonese/HongKong style cuisine at reasonable prices. Old school vibes. Parking meters are along the street. I’ve dined in and ordered take out. They also do custom large orders for take out.Parking: dozens of parking spots along the street“
“Has the potential to be the best Chinese food in the valley but they suffer from terrible inconsistencies. Dining in is really your only option as delivery is often cold and mushy. Lunch is great! Dinner, (same dishes), not so much. The bearded waiter is definitely a &$£€ and not cut out to be a service person. He definitely takes away from the dining experience which is a shame because dining in gets you far superior food to their takeout.“
“This was my first order from here. I could just tell that they do care about their customers. I love Pad Thai I know it's like the most basic thing but not everyplace can hit it. Everytime I order through Postmates or door dash from different places that would be only 15 mins away, The Pad Thai would just get so dry and got no flavor when it gets to me eventho there would be a request saying "please make it extra saucy" no one seemed to ever listen. But Delish Thai Kitchen CAME THROUGH with the extra saucy and so much flavor. And they even left me a note I really do appreciate that you did that. Thank you Gonna be my favorite place to order from now.“
“If you can't get to SGV, where the quality and selection of Chinese food is incredible, Sam Woo is a great valley option. Standouts are their BBQ meats; roast duck, roast pork , char siu. Good selections of all noodle dishes; chow menial, Lo Meir, chow fun. Then like most Chinese restaurants hundreds of options. The key here is their consistent authentic dishes. Casual and good service.“
“Visited my daughter at UCLA. We wanted Asian food and headed to Sawtelle. Walked up and down the street and saw many places that looked inviting. We settled on Dan Modern Chinese because we saw dim sum on some tables that looked good. We ordered soup dumplings, dumplings, bok choy and noodles. The dumplings were very good and the noodles and bok choy were decent. I would come back for dumplings but would pass on the noodles. If you crave dim sum, this place will satisfy your craving but dont expect much from the noodles. Noodles were thick and chewy with a gravy like sauce. Homemade noodles but not the best.“
“I was really sad when chengdu closed because I had been going there for years and loved it. I gave this spot a try a few months ago and while I do still miss it, at least this is still better than any other Chinese place I’ve found in the valley. Chengdu had a bigger menu, so while there are some things I can no longer get, this place does the basics well.“
“I had been looking forward to trying out panda inn and they did not disappoint. From the classic decorum; fantastic service and most delicious food the hardest decision was what two entrees to order as I was dining alone. I will be back with friends so that we can try more dishes!!“
“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“
“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!“
“Food was given in HUGE portions. Lots of food per bowl/combo. Excellent service: friendly owners who greeted upon arrival. Restaurant itself has a few tables and it has sriracha sauce and soy sauce. It's good temperature and quiet. Lots of different food and drinks you can buy. Overall a cheap place with great food and portions and good customer service.“
“This is one of the best restaurants we know of. Not only is the food fantastic, but the owners and staff are amazing people. They are very kind and considerate, and very willing to accommodate large groups, or an occasional special request, etc. We've had several larger groups events catered by them as well and they are terrific to work with about these. And let me mention again how good the food is! They have a big menu and we've never had a dish that didn't look and taste great. It's not just Chinese food but they have some other Asian dishes as well.“

“I took my Korean friends to eat Malatang, and we all thought it was delicious. The taste was good but a little salty. We also ordered the fragrant pot and rice. This store has a water purifier, which is quite convenient for self-service drinking:)“
“Absolutely delicious food. My husband and I had the pork buns, beef roll, and pork dumplings. Everything was perfect from the portions to the flavors, we will absolutely be back in the future! We shared each item and it was the perfect amount for 2 people at a very reasonable $45 including two drinks. Would recommend to anyone strolling the blvd!“
