    Mala Har Gow
    Joe S.

    I've been meaning try out Chifa for quite a while. I finally set aside the time and made a reservation. Having looked at photos of the restaurant, I was pleased to see that they have a parking lot, only to find out that it is being used for outdoor seating. A trip around the block and I found street parking. Upon entering, I was awestruck by the decor! Lots of bright colors and unique chairs with a nice vibe. We were warmly greeted and shown to our table. Our server was great at guiding us through the menu and helping us decide our order. We went for the Causa, Mala Har Gow, Dan Dan Mian, Spiced Okra and their Brûlée Char Siu, along with a couple of cocktails. The cocktails took a while to arrive, but they were delicious. We had the Drunken Yuzu and the Gimme Gimme Gimme. The Drunken Yuzu was made with gin and yuzu giving boozy, tart martini vibes. The Gimme Gimme Gimme was made with Strawberry Tarragon infused gin with a touch of rhubarb and lime. It's hard to describe it but it was our favorite by far! While waiting for the drinks, our Causa arrived. It was beautifully plated and consisted of layers of seasoned mashed potatoes, avocado and bluefin tuna with some aji oil and egg. It was quite tasty. A short while later, the remaining items were served. First was the Dan Dan noodles. Our server claimed this is their most popular dish and it did not disappoint, though the thin noodles were difficult to eat because the peanut sauce thickened as it cooled. I've had these noodles at other places, and while they were good, they were not outstanding. I think I prefer the Dan Dan from Joy....at least they are easier to eat. Next up was the Har Gow, which surprised me when I saw the black wrapper on the dumplings. That's a first. The filling was delicious though the dumpling wrapper was rather bland. I probably wouldn't have noticed except the wrapper would pull itself away from the the filling, forcing you to eat it by itself. Last up was the Char Siu and the Spiced Okra. I was excited about the Char Siu as it is one of my favorite things to eat. And to have it brûléed on top was the icing on the cake. The meat itself was very tender but was lacking that Char Siu taste of 5 spice. The brûlée on top added a nice sweetness but it still didn't quite measure up to my standards, with Chin Chin being my favorite place to order it. But that okra!!!! It was THE BOMB!!! We are both okra fans, especially me having grown up in the south where fried okra is a staple. Their version was sliced and wok fried with a delicious seasoning that included Szechuan pepper as well as pieces of red onion. For those that don't like slimy okra, you needn't worry. The wok frying eliminated that and resulted in these nice, slightly chewy pieces of okra that I am still thinking about today. I could eat an entire order of that by myself. Overall, the meal was pretty good but not the flavor explosion I was expecting. I'll definitely return but I'll focus on some other menu items that caught my eye rather than what the server suggests.

    What a lovely gem in NELA! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with colorful pops of pink and green. We were seated right away with a reservation. Our server, Ashley, was super friendly. The food was delicious!! Lots of flavor packed in all the dishes. It's family style so we ordered 9 dishes for 5 people. Standouts: Tofu Skin Salad Tiradito-Sea Bream Black Pepper Prawns Lomo Saltado-fries were perfectly crisp even after the meat, onions, and tomatoes were layered on top. Chaufa with pork Drinks were solid!! Family run business. We will definitely be back!!

    I came here with a couple of friends for a special event being hosted by a different organizer but I still had the chance to try some of their food. I had the chili noodles being sold by the entrance of the patio side of the event. They were super spicy and that was it. Their only flavor profile was spicy/spicy. Noodles aside. the vibes at the place were great, customer service was fantastic and overall the evening was an enjoyable one. Would recommend. 10/10.

    Food - pretty good flavors and easy on my eyes with the presentation. Loved the mala flavored okra, dan, dan noddles, chasu, and scallops. Drinks- good selection of tasty concoctions, but will lighten your wallet after a a couple of drinks.. at least they are generous with the booze. Ambiance- classy with a touch of funk and modern comforts. Price - more than I like, but good to give it a go on special occasions. Service - excellent, but not overbearing. RESTROOM - GENDER neutral, clean and nicely decorated. Parking - no on-site, but street parking was not bad at 530pm.

    loved the interior and the vibe!! would go back for drinks or din just for it asian peruvian fusion- super interesting and works. the scallop crudo was rly good (best ive had in a while), dan dan mien was good, si yao chicken and fried rice was fine.

    Brûlée Char Siu

    10/10 for vibes, aesthetics, and flavor. Their presentation is immaculate! This is such a cute spot with so much attention to detail in every piece of decor. I loved discovering something new with every dish that came out! I highly recommend the brûlée char siu and dan dan noodles. Everything we tried was delicious but those were the standout items for me. Looking forward to trying out their breakfast/lunch menu soon!

    Met up with some friends and decided to eat here. Very easy to miss since they don't have a dedicated parking lot but you should be able to find street parking around the area. Limited but delicious menu. We ordered 80% of what they offered and a few drinks. All of us were pleased with all the menu items we ordered. They're bearable for two people but we managed to share between 7 people. Def. Worth checking out. Not spoiling anything here.

    Went here for a girls dinner and had the most amazing experience. This restaurant has everything: super cute and trendy decor, tasty food + good cocktails, and excellent service. It checks off all the boxes! And who knew a Chinese Peruvian restaurant could be this dang good??!! We ordered several items to share including: scallop crudo, causa, braised spare ribs, black pepper prawn, lomo saltado, fries, fried rice + la chai float, alfajores, and pistachio ice cream for dessert! To say we had a great time while enjoying great food is an understatement. I can't wait to come back here for more! Quick tip: parking is a bit challenging but you'll eventually find a spot on the street (be patient and circle around if you have to or park across the street). Happy eating!

    Ahh, I REALLY wanted to love this place, but for me it was just ok. The mala har gow shrimp dumplings were absolutely the best part of the meal. The brûlée char siu was tasty, but did not come out warm, so it was a little bit weird to have this really rich candied pork belly at room temperature. The noodles were really just alright, I prefer the ones at Joy in Highland Park. Really, the vibe here is the intangible that makes it cool. Even then, the chairs are really uncomfortable to sit in for more than half an hour. I get the need to turn tables, but it's not great when the price point is more in line with a real sit down restaurant. Overall pretty good, would be more fun with a group as the dishes are suited for family style.

    We had an event here recently and it was absolutely perfect. The owners could not be more delightful, and they've created this really lovely and gracious space. Although I'm not a huge fan of outdoor dining most of the time, the beautiful outdoor space here is so peaceful with so much greenery and pretty tables, I would happily dine al fresco. As this was a private party, we had small passed plates - a fantastic dim sum combo plate and calamari among others. The dim sum combo was wonderful. Lately, I'm on a real dim sum kick and I was thrilled to see this on the menu. They also really excel at cocktails. They made several specialty drinks for our event and they were all gorgeous and delicious. Parking is a little tough so plan ahead for that. This is an exceptional example of a locally owned family restaurant. Put this on your list for any occasion - date night, special celebration, large party, casual weeknight dinner with friends... It works anytime. Great find.

    Really enjoyed our luncheon here. Didn't know what to expect since it was our first time experiencing Chifa cuisine. We were pleasantly surprised to find the fusion well balanced and distinctly flavorful. We really enjoyed the mala har gow and siumai. Also the chicken rice bowl was satisfying. The dipping sauce was outstanding. The mapo tofu and spicy noodles were ok. Cocktails were tasty too. The decor and vibe of the restaurant has an international flair. Doesn't feel like LA. Service is friendly but could be faster. Can't wait to come back and try their dinner menu.

    Jennifer K.

    Chifa is one of those rare family-owned restaurants that immediately feels like you've been invited into someone's home for dinner--in the best, most intimate way. The bold Cantonese, Taiwanese, and Peruvian flavors work together so beautifully, and the eclectic decor makes the whole experience feel special and full of character. We tried the lomo saltado, wok hei vegetables, dan dan noodles, and the taradito (sashimi)--every dish was packed with flavor and so thoughtfully prepared. Their cocktail menu is just as impressive, with drinks that pair perfectly with the food. It's the kind of place that's perfect for date night, but also has a gorgeous private space in the back for hosting events or bringing a bigger group. Service was truly top notch--warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. I'm already planning my next visit with more friends so we can try everything on the menu. A beautiful, soulful dining experience from start to finish.

    Chifa is one of my favorite cuisines, so I've been itching to try... Chifa for a long time. The vibe, decor, presentation, and atmosphere were exceptional. They had everything down to the detail. I wanted to start here because I think it's really easy to be lazy with this or even shallow, but Chifa avoids both approaches. Parking was street only. I went on a Friday at 5:30 PM, so I can imagine that parking can be difficult at busier times, but there were a few spots on Lincoln, the side street. The food was great. I grew up eating the straight Cantonese versions of these dishes, and I love trying different takes on them. I will say that I wanted to try everything on the menu but obviously couldn't, so I already knew I wanted to come back before even ordering and my experience did not dissuade me at all. Everything we got was delicious. My wife and I ordered and shared the Dan Dan Mian, Trinity Fried Rice, Black Pepper Prawn, Sweet & Sour Pork, Lomo Saltado, and Lai Cha Float. I'd say the winner was the prawns because they were incredibly flavorful and every bite was substantial. I love it when I can just eat the shells and you can do that with these. The fried rice was good on first bite, a mixture of subtle flavors anchored by garlic, but after that it became quite bland. I treat fried rice as a litmus test for Asian places and it passed, just not with flying colors. Every other dish fell somewhere between the prawn and fried rice scale, sitting closer to the prawns. The Lai Cha float was a fantastic way to close out the dinner. It consisted of pouring tea onto ice cream, which was novel, but I would love an option where you could get an actual float to enjoy with your meal versus having it only as a dessert. Maybe they can do that if you ask, but I did not. The service was also good, but there was just one server and she was working hard. No issues other than she took the order of a couple who arrived and were seated 15 minutes after we were. I don't think it was her fault and I was more annoyed with the couple than with her, of course. At the end of the day, I know it's not a 1:1 or fair comparison to Chinese food that you can get in the San Gabriel Valley, but the price I paid for this felt high for what it was. What I paid here could have paid for a meal for 10 at a Cantonese seafood restaurant, but I understand why the price is what it is. It's not dissimilar to how I felt about Pine & Crane in the 2010s. I just want to call this out to 1) help people avoid surprises and 2) introduce the existence of cheaper options. I'll end with this: none of the food surprised me and that's not an insult. I didn't come in hoping to taste anything unfamiliar and what I got was exactly what I expected: my favorite food done incredibly well. I could tell everything I had was prepared with care. None of it felt like it was thrown into a wok, coated with oil, and dumped on a plate. I think Chifa fills a need where this type of food can be served stylishly and be a complete pleasure to eat. Chinese and Chinese-adjacent food does not need to always be cheap and utilitarian. This food can be enjoyed the same way as a nice Italian or sushi dinner and I'm glad to have experienced it.

I ended up getting my kung pao chicken and settled for the Mongolian beef, and veggie egg rolls. The Mongolian beef I could definitely pass on. The kung pao chicken was good at first, but somehow lost its flavor as the meal went on. The egg rolls were just okay. Nice and crispy on the outside, but too mushy on the inside for my liking. I was also pretty surprised (and a lot sad) that they didn't have hot mustard. The tea was really good though! Service was fine. The server was attentive, just clearly busy keeping up with all the takeout orders coming through. Ambience is definitely on the lower side here, so don't come expecting a nicer Chinese restaurant. It leans more Santa Ana burger joint vibes. That said, everything felt clean and they were pumping out a ton of takeout orders while we were there, so clearly they're doing something right. Overall, it just didn't hit for me, and I don't see myself coming back.

We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice.

They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave.

Don't get me wrong, the food is decent and portions are generous, but I just dont get the hype over it. I think there's plenty of equally good (if not better) food at SGV for a better price too.

    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.

    Longten has lunch specials so you know my dad and I are going to try this place out. And by try, I…read moremean come by at least once every two weeks. It's pretty close by but also the quality of food is pretty good for how inexpensive the lunch specials are. You have to pay for the drinks, but so far I haven't seem a limit on the refill (I typically refill only once though but I've also been able to take the drink togo). I would recommend getting the salt and pepper pork chop - my dad says this is literally better than most places we've gone to. I think they season the batter, which is how its so flavorful. We also typically get the eggplant, which comes in a huge plate and comes with rice. My dad likes their curry but I'm not super excited about it. Its good, but not exciting, if you know what I mean. Service is typically pretty good. They move around pretty quickly and food typically comes out pretty quickly too. I would spend about 50-60 dollars and its enough food to last two people maybe an additional 2 or 3 meals, especially since most dishes come with a dish of white rice. The rice isn't great, like it's kind of dry, but its free so no complaints here.

    This used to be one of my favorite Hong Kong-style cafes, but lately the food quality has gone…read moredownhill. My go-tos here are the kung pao chicken and the sweet and sour fish. The last few times I've ordered the kung pao chicken, it barely had any veggies. It used to come with a mix of colorful bell peppers, but now it's mostly onions. The sweet and sour fish used to be lightly battered and nice and meaty. On my last visit, it was heavily battered and you could barely taste the fish. I'm not sure if they changed chefs, but the difference in quality is definitely noticeable. It's disappointing because I really like the staff. They're always friendly and provide great service. I'm hoping the food goes back to how it used to be.
