a very cool place with very good food, and a nice little concert area. the concert area is separate from the eating area and if you are trying to see the concert I believe you have to pay, even if you are a customer, but I am not sure, in any case, it has a free parking lot which makes it better than 100% of other Hollywood venues. the performers need places to park, because even in a society without too many cars, musicians are probably going to need cars to transport their gear so those parking lots are still going to be important I think.

Great place for a fantastic evening. Very accommodating, beautiful on the inside, great photo ops. Food was decent, nice bar, and amazing venue for live music. Saw a couple of local bands, (Flamango Bay) that were so much fun! Great night!

I had a fun time... We went around 3pm. Food came fast and hot. Some reviews said the food was cold, I don't know what they were talking about egg rolls burnt my tongue, the butterfly shrimp was super hot as well, I had to wait for them to cool down before eating. The Catfish held its heat well and was still steaming well into dinner. My go to dish and benchmark, is always the Honey walnut shrimp. Theirs was excellent. I live in the neighborhood and drove by here all the time but never dropped in I was not disappointed. My guest use to come here 20yrs ago and she loved it.

Food was tasty and served in generous portions. The Queen Chicken is a must try. The walnut shrimp & crab rangoons were very good. The bbq spare ribs are a pass. Recommend it for an upgrade to your standard fast Chinese food.
Great experience here. We came for an early dinner at 6 PM before a comedy show. I made a reservation, but the restaurant was pretty empty at this time. Service was warm and efficient, and we got our food and drinks quickly. Everything was good quality, and the ambiance was great. The restaurant has its own parking lot too.

I came here for a show, they do concerts and stand up shows in a side room of the restaurant. I didn't eat but I did have a cocktail, which was 20 bucks (which is totally fine in la). The show was well executed, both in terms of the timing and the sound system. The restaurant is a take on the classic suburban American Chinese destination restaurant, epitomized by drinks like the mai Tai and cream cheese crab won ton appetizers. Unclear to me why one would eat here beyond the vibes, but certainly the full bar makes a visit worth while. Would for sure recommend seeing a show here.Parking: Kinda tough

Great place to catch up with and old special friend!
I ordered the potstickers, it has definitely changed in flavor and size. Even though you get more of them now, they're not as tasty as they once we're. The steamed rice was so so, couple hard pieces but no big deal, the soup is NO WAY Vegan as it definitely tasted like chicken broth. Maybe the waitress didn't understand what that means, unsure but it's also a very loud and warm place at night.

I came here by chance. The atmosphere is very good and the service is excellent?. However, as a Chinese, I did not taste real Chinese food, but an improved Chinese meal that was more suitable for American tastes. There is a small room with a show inside, which is also its feature. I will come here to spend money in the future, but I hope its atmosphere can continue to be this good.

The highlight is the expansive menu --if it's remotely Chinese or vaguely Asian you will find it. Great tea and appetizers, prompt service, and very good dishes which fall just short of 5-star IMO. It's a great place for a group dinner, as they have those rotating "lazy Susans" in the middle of some tables. A bit loud but not too bad.One tip- don't be mistaken into thinking there might be some nice live music with your dinner. Yes there's a small space for bands but it's a segmented room, sealed off from the main restaurant. When we were there for a group dinner, there was a "high school screamer / metal band" there and the clientele was distinct. We couldn't hear the music, thankfully in this case.But overall this is a classic, retro -kitschy Chinese food place, can't go wrong.Parking: There is a small free parking lot, but it fills up quickly. You might want to leave extra time to search for street parking nearby.
