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

Thomas Colton

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!
