    41. Orange Flavored Chicken
    Brenn R.

    As I was walking to FedEx, I looked through the window to my right and noticed a man eating some scrumptious looking Chinese food and my stomach started growling. I quickly completed my errand at FedEx and went next door to Chef Ming's to peruse the menu. Upon walking in, I was first greeted by the smell of what promised to be a delicious meal, and the man behind the counter greeted us and motioned for us to take a seat at the counter. The restaurant was bright and clean, and as I looked over the menu, my stomach growled even louder. A friendly gentleman came in and stood near us, then began chatting with my boyfriend and me; he told us about their awesome lunch specials and said he's eaten here many times. Upon his recommendations we got one of orange chicken and one broccoli with beef - two classic Chinese dishes - can't go wrong! We ordered our food to go and the smell was driving me wild on the ride home. The orange chicken was perfect - not too sweet and the batter had the perfect crunch. My BF enjoyed the broccoli with beef and shared some with me. We were very pleased with our meals and definitely recommended Chef Ming's! Would definitely eat here again!

    Xièxiè to Chef Ming and all the Ming providers of excellent Chinese food to go as well as using Corn starch instead of flour so this gluten intolerant veteran can enjoy dishes prepared the normal way without adjustments like your Lemon Chicken and the always GF Hot Braised Shrimp. What seems a bit pricey is really not with the two full entrees and a carton of white rice containing an ample amount of the lemon chicken and shrimp, I get 5 meals out of eating this delicious meal. Somewhat surprisingly near this area there are some very good French, Italian, Persian, Israeli and Middle Eastern restaurants, Chef Ming's is the best of the other Chinese Restaurants that have seen better days long in the past.

    Orange chicken lunch special

    Ordered the Orange chicken lunch special and it was so mid - the noodles were super dry and plain - they also go our order wrong over the phone - chicken was okay - also no soy sauce or Siracha in the bag - also two lunch specials 45 dollars

    Orange chicken, steamed rice

    It's okay, I suppose I was expecting a bit more. Ive ordered the orange chicken from Grubhub ($29), which fine, gets a little soggy with delivery. So I thought I'd dine in (weekday ~6pm) to see if it'd be different, but nope still the same, the breading isn't crispy. I like that it is white meat though. So it's okay enough to eat if you're hungry or didn't cook. Dining in orange chicken is $24. Service is okay, although I dined in, my food was placed in take out containers just with a tray. They gave 1 napkin and 1 fork, I had my own personal water bottle. The ambiance is loud, bright lights with heavy metal clanking from cooking, so definitely more of a take out place than dining in, although they offer two sit down tables. It's BH so yes $24 Chinese food that is super-mid is on the cheaper end. I wouldn't come back to dine-in, but may do take out in the future and wouldn't order their soggy orange chicken again. If you'd like to get more bang for your buck, go to Fu's Palace a few blocks down.

    My Chinese wife and I thought this was the worst Chinese restaurant in LA. 0 for 4. No sauce, no flavor I complained to the manager and they did nothing. Obviously I won't be returning.

    Just 5 minutes from The Grove, this spot on Beverly Blvd is amazing for their insane lunch deals…read moreand traditional dim sum. All their weekday lunch specials come with hot & sour soup and an egg roll. I had to get their signature spicy orange chicken which is tangy and perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's seriously such a great deal with the amount they give you. Even their dim sum items are discounted during lunch too so I got all my favorites like shumai, radish cakes, green onion pancakes, string beans, and even the rainbow xiaolongbao sampler which is basically Russian roulette for you to guess the flavor of each. But the real sleeper on the menu are the sweet & spicy corn ribs. Love the nod to the Asian taste profile, and it's sooo satisfying to eat! Thanks for reading! ^-^

    If you're crazy a-BAO-t dim sum like me, you definitely have to check out @baodimsumhouse !…read more As someone who's super picky about dim sum, I think this spot has some of the BEST and most authentic dim sum in West LA, with an extensive selection of traditional dishes (pork and shrimp shumai, crystal shrimp dumplings, fried radish cakes, egg yolk black buns), as well as fun options such as the Juicy Roulette Xiao Long Bao set. I've been coming here for the past two years, and their quality is stayed consistently high, if not even improving! They also have an amazing cocktail menu (which is more unusual for dim sum spots) and weekday lunch special menu from 12-3 PM, which features select dim sum and traditional Chinese dish combos at VERY affordable prices (all under $20). Honestly, everything I've tried on every visit has been AMAZING, but I highly recommend asking your waiter for recommendations and specials, since I've been able to try so many new dishes that I probably wouldn't have ever ordered.

The braised pork in brown sauce was rich, tender, and melted in my mouth. My favorite of the meal was definitely the garlic vermicelli shrimp. The shrimp were fresh and cooked perfectly, while the vermicelli soaked up all of the garlic sauce. It was easily the standout dish and something I would come back specifically to order again. The Kung Pao chicken was tender, and a good balance of savory, sweet, and tang. The restaurant isn't that big but it does have tables suitable for larger groups. This is a decent spot for lunch. The only thing is the dishes are a little more expensive compared to other restaurants. The staff were attentive, efficient, and made sure everything arrived promptly which I appreciated.

The space feels worn -- menus tattered, décor dated, the whole interior overdue for a refresh. For a restaurant positioning itself at the higher end of Chinese dining, Meizhou Dongpo is sleeping on the finer details. No complimentary tea service, and rather than offering a pot for the table, they serve individual tea by the mug -- a comically oversized Western mug at that. Chopsticks arrive without spoons, and when you ask for one, you get silverware instead of the porcelain you'd expect at Chinese restaurant. The Peking duck accoutrements came with a little plastic spoon on the tray. Small things, but they add up.The fried rice was a letdown too and looked nothing like the menu photo. Spots like Din Tai Fung and Lunasia Signature are operating at a different level and the gap shows. Meizhou Dongpo has the bones of a great Chinese restaurant. The duck alone proves it. But until they invest in the experience around the food, it's hard to recommend at this price point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
