Everybody knows there's no good Chinese in West LA but this place is sick! Try the duck , ask for extra sauce. The egg-rolls rock too, better than anywhere short of Monterey Park . Need more parking .
Jerry Seinfeld has said that the Seinfeld episode where they're waiting for a table in a Chinese restaurant is based on Jerry and Larry David's similar experience here.
The walnut shrimp and the ribs are life-changing. The crispy noodles that are usually free everywhere else aren’t free here. Order them. Read more
Traditional Chinese. They do a great "No Name Duck " or anything involving shrimp . Strong tropical cocktails make everything better.
Will be eating Potstickers and watching a great show there next Wed 6/27 at 9pm. Two great singer-songwriters are in town , from Chicago Anna Fermin and from Santa Barbara Nicola Gordon.
Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had.
Anything but ordinary.
The chipotle tofu is even yummier than the chicken because it's crispy but has the same sauce. Awesome!
Try the New York Egg Rolls (via @Foodspotting)
Just good honest food. I'll be back for sure.
Textbook Chinese - everything tastes exactly like it should
The ribs and walnut shrimp will change you.
The Triple Kung Pow is phenomenal
Spicy Cilantro Shrimp and Tom Tom Chicken my favs topped off with a passion fruit margarita .
The walnut shrimp is amazing!
Very good Chinese. A bit pricey
Whatever you do don't get the dumplings ! But everything else we tried was stellar.
Queen's chicken and turkey mini dumplings are the best!
Everything is G8 ????
Lamb , shrimp toast
Get the cold New York sesame noodles , but ask them to prepare them hot!
The crackerjack shrimp is the bomb!!!
Crackerjack Shrimp is SO GOOD!!!
Orange Chicken and Pot Stickers are the best!!!
Try to get the waitress named bogie, she's awesome.
Hot and sour soup . Get that.
The walnut shrimp is sublime.
Ask for a foot rub?
Satisfies Jews on Christmas
Hollywood staple
I love that they have vegan options !
Maybe one day the music room waitress will actually notice we're here since we've been trying to flag her down for 40 minutes
First time here and the food's really good! Like NYC
Always the best!
Get the No Name Duck
Great food and music . Loved it.
The Nothing-Special Beef Sizzler is amazing.
If you want to bring leftover soup home, ask them to bring the container to the table. If you have six servings left, they only give a half serving to take home!!
Get the Potstickers . They are awesome.
Moo Goo Gai Pan = YUM.
Mabu Beef in a Basket!!!
This place is awesome. I love the pad Thai and vegetable lo mein. Great place for people watching and reasonable prices for the area. - Melle Hartley
