We went for Lunar New Year on 02/17 for dumplings as is tradition. Extensive menu but only 3 options for dumplings and 6 total for dim sum. Yes we could've went to a restaurant specifically for dim sum but gave this a try. Seated very promptly. We arrived after the lunch rush about 1:30pm. BBQ pork fried rice was very good except a few pockets of extra salty clumps of rice. Maybe needed an extra toss orr two but very good pieces of pork and even amount of vegetables and egg. Pork and shrimp shumai was predominantly pork with barely any shrimp which made them dense and just ok. BBQ pork bao were steamed pillows of goodness. Very flavorful and soft. Restrooms are clean. Parking is validated only at a certain parking spot. No street parking. Restaurant is close to the plaza for souvenir shopping. Friendly staff. Will definitely come back. read more

Amazing food! Came here for early dinner at 4pm on a Friday, sat down and ordered right away. The broccoli beef was the best I have ever had. So tender you could cut it with a fork. Good prices, good service. We will be back. read more

After spending time shopping around Chinatown, we worked up a big appetite and decided to look for a quick lunch nearby. That's when we came across Full House. We ordered the shrimp fried rice, Mongolian beef, and sweet and sour pork. Everything came out fast, which was perfect since we weren't looking for a long wait. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Mongolian beef--it was extremely tender, flavorful, and honestly one of the best I've had. Going in, I didn't have very high expectations, but the food ended up being surprisingly good overall. The portions were satisfying, the service was efficient, and it was a great spot for a quick and enjoyable meal after a long day of walking and shopping. read more

Best food I've had so far in LA Chinatown. I came here for my graduation and the service was quick and very accommodating. We ordered so many things: egg flower soup, salt pepper shrimp and squid, chow meins, fried rices, dum sum, fish in black bean sauce, and so much more. Everything tasted great and even better as leftovers. It felt like a good choice celebrating here; Chinatown is a very nostalgic neighborhood to me and I finished my studies 15 min down to the road. read more

What We've Tried - 106. Deep Fried Squid with Spicy Salt - 147. French Style Beef Cubes - 12. Deep Fried Pork Intestines - 178. Egg Tofu with American Broccoli My favorite item is the Egg Tofu with Broccoli. Anything with egg tofu is delicious (in my opinion). Sauce is delicious when it soaks into the broccoli and tofu. Second favorite dish is the squid with spicy salt. Very crispy but needs more jalapeños. Not spicy at all if you can't eat spice. My husband and I plan to eat our way through the menu to find new favorites. read more

It's been a while since I've been back here and the last time was not great, but I was pleasantly surprised this time around. The ambiance is old Chinese restaurant, so don't expect much. And the service is very old Canto restaurant, so efficient and not rude, but also not super cheerful. We each ordered a dish, so very eclectic, but actually pretty tasty and I'd go back if I was looking for a spot to eat on Chinatown. Especially if it's later in the evening. read more

Had the Peking duck it was unbelievable came out fast. I'd give it an A+ all the way.

It was our first time trying their menu but my daughter has been ordering here and tried them multiple times. We did order take away so I didn't get to see the place and how the service was. We ordered fried rice, sweet and sour pork, honey walnut shrimp, roast duck, chinese brocolli w garlic sauce and chicken feet. I gave 3 stars coz the chicken feet was tough and roast duck were dry and bland. The rest were good and delicious! I hate giving 3 stars and below but I just have to be honest so that way I can help them by correcting and/or improving their business as well. I will try to order again sometime soon. read more

After the lobster debacle several years ago, I was ready to go back. The new staff were nice and recommended mushroom beef and steamd cod filet, both were amazing. Their dry beef chow fun is also a winner, full of fragrant 'wok hei'. They do not have lunch specials. Their lobster price is now a whopping $35/lb. Go to Teng Cang Newport Seafood. read more

It was well lit. I ate here with my parents, brother, aunt, uncle, other uncle, niece, nephew, cousin, and cousin in law for dinner on Jan 30. Crab meat fish soup was the appetizer. It was a bit average and bland. It was pretty lively because of the conversations people were having, there were at least 3 other tables full. We had calamari, sole fish, chow mein and an egg dish. Calamari was pretty good. It was the perfect texture. Chow mein had the right ratio of noodles to veggies and fish. Sole fish was crunchy. The egg dish was a special request from an uncle because it wasn't on the menu. My dad and uncles are half Chinese so they've grown up eating Chinese food from a different province. Servers were attentive and spoke English surprisingly well. They asked if we wanted drinks and we said we wanted water. My cousin asked for lemon and each glass of water had lemon. It was pretty generous of them to cut a lemon and place a slice in each glass. read more

Located in historic Chinatown, Full Moon House has been serving authentic Chinese cuisine since 2017. The restaurant's name is an homage to togetherness because, in Chinese culture, when the moon is full it symbolizes a family reunion. I didn't actually dine in, instead, I had food delivered via Grub Hub. They have an extensive menu featuring over 203 items, so I was grateful that it was categorized into sections. My friend and I ordered a few dishes to share: Hot & Sour Soup, Deep Fried Fish Fillet with Spicy Salt ($18.95) and Orange Flavored Shrimp ($22.95). The food arrived in a timely manner and was still hot. Everything was carefully packed. The soup had a nice flavor. It wasn't too thick and had ample amounts of sliced mushroom, bamboo shoots, and tofu. The deep-fried fish consisted of large pieces of fish. The coating was still crispy outside and the fish was tender & flaky inside. It contained thin slices of jalapeño and wasn't salty or very spicy. The orange shrimp was coated with a thin breading and the sauce was tasty. It wasn't gummy and was just slightly sweet. Everything was good and we enjoyed the leftovers the next day. It was a bit pricey, but the portions were generous. read more

This is one of the few remaining Chinatown restaurants that stays open in late into the evening. We stopped by after the Dodgers game for some midnight munchies. We ordered Chinese broccoli beef, kung pao chicken, Pork Buns (Cha Siu Bao), steamed rice, and traditional hot tea. We placed our order and in less than ten minutes had our food delivered to our table, now that's fast service. The food was delicious and satisfied my picky friend's appetite. read more

Full Moon House - Late night munchies APR2025 - Chinese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Randomly picked this place for DimSum and turnout to be quite good. 1st group in so 1st sitting and got all the attention from servers. Order the DimSum 1st then the soup & congee later and the wet foods came out 1st. Quite tasty and very filling. DimSum dishes were great too, not oily at all and tasty too. The place is at the end of the town so not a lot of foots traffic, and parking can be tricky since weekend will be hard to find. They have 2 restaurants with the same name right across from each other. One with seafoods and one with poultry and DimSum. The interior is old and just cluttered but clean. read more

My favorite Chinese regional cuisine is Cantonese since it emphasizes the intrinsic flavours of the ingredients themselves. Canton is south enough so that vegetables can be grown all year and so there is a good amount of vegetables in most dishes. Yelp Full Moon House leans in that direction including seafood as written in their Chinese name so I really anticipated flavourful balanced dishes, but ended up being disappointed. I did take out and there is still a Covid designated takeout area designed to lessen exposure which is a good thing right at the entrance. Go farther in for table dining. 1) Pork Sparerib w/ Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce 豉汁涼瓜小排骨: Good amount of green, bitter melon, which tasted beyond expiration date, lacked finessed knife skills. The pieces were amateurishly cut into wide long pieces which made for awkward eating with chopsticks. Some green onions, bits of earthy, funky fermented black beans, oyster sauce, and garlic. Unfortunately, the tiny chopped pork ribs were battered with a gummy, pasty, thick flour coating trying to make the ribs look bigger detracted from the meatiness of the pork ribs. Leaving the ribs without the bad batter like the flavourful Dim Sum Jing Pai Gwut would have been so much better. Very little chicken or pork stock that would have given this dish much needed Umami. I had to add chicken bouillon as well as freshly ground black pepper to add smoky piquancy when I returned home to remedy this omission. Later, almost swallowed a Dangerous Sharp Metal Shard in the Sparerib w/ Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce. Unloaded a photo to document this. 2) Singapore Style Pan Fried Rice Vermicelli's 星洲炒米粉 signature ingredient is British style curry powder to add that pungent multi-spice aroma. However, the Full Moon House version was sorely short of this all important spicing. Mai Fun/thin rice vermicelli, bits of green onions, bell peppers, sliced onions. Shrimp & sliced pork Chāshū were the proteins. All were sautéed together. Again, I had to add more curry powder and chicken bouillon when I returned home. Each dish was $17 which is a bit pricey, but the amount was huge. However, I'm more into quality not quantity. Every bite should be enjoyable which is why I dine out so often, but unfortunately Full Moon House didn't deliver on this critical point. 2+ stars. read more

The roast/peking duck is the star. The skin is glassy‑crisp, the meat stays juicy, and it comes with soft, warm bao, fresh scallions, and a trio of sauces (hoisin, plum, and a spicy kick) that let you build the perfect bite. The Chinese broccoli is spot‑on-bright green, tender‑crisp, and lightly sauced so it tastes clean and fresh rather than heavy. Portions are generous and made for sharing. Drink: The hot tea is exactly what you want with a meal like this-fragrant, clean, and poured often. It cuts through the richness of the duck and keeps the whole meal balanced. Restaurant: Classic Chinese banquet‑hall energy in the best way-white tablecloths, red lanterns and dragons, and plenty of room for families and groups. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient: plates cleared, tea refilled, and food arriving hot. Prices are fair for the quality and portion size. Bottom line: Come hungry, order the duck set with extra buns, add a plate of greens, and let the hot tea do the rest. This place nails the essentials and delivers a comforting, celebratory meal every time read more

The Chinese spot I didn't know I was missing out on! Chaotic, messy, and absolutely perfect--Full Moon House hits every craving, especially when you're hungover or just really hungry. The portions are massive--you'll definitely have leftovers. My go-to order? The Mapo Tofu, Glass Noodles, and Fried Rice--greasy in the best way possible. Don't skip the chili oil--I was this close to asking for a tub to take home! The ambiance is no-frills, old-school Chinese, and the service is quick and efficient (which honestly worked just fine--we were too busy inhaling our food). Bonus: they validate parking! A total hidden gem. read more

The food was good except it was too hot. We requested mild and got almost inedible heat. My partner couldn't even eat it. I would not have eaten here if I had used the restroom before ordering. The urinal was broken and the lock on the toilet door was gone. It also was not as clean as a restaurant restroom should be. I have never had a good experience at a restaurant that doesn't take proper care of their restroom. I'm always worried about what the kitchen condition is if they can't be bothered by the restroom condition. I won't be going back. read more

I want to order on DoorDash. I order Mongolian Beef for $20. Then I see you are selling white rice separately. So am I supposed to buy the rice separately? Or is that just for extra rice? I went elsewhere. Please be clear as you can on DoorDash. read more

The food was mediocre at best. I ordered delivery. The food did arrive hot, but the Deep Fried Pork Chops were soggy because they did not puncture the container to release the steam. I expected the coating on the Orange Shrimp to be a little crispy, I also asked that they make them spicy, they were too sweet. I did not like the House Combination Chow Fun. The noodles were mushy, as a matter of fact, the entire dish was mushy, there was no texture. I did not like it. I wanted some calamari, but I'm glad I didn't order it. I haven't decided if I will try other menu items. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening, originally to check out the Thai night market that was unfortunately closed for the weekend. The restaurant was pretty busy when we arrived but was sat down right away. We ordered the beef chow fun, westlake beef soup, orange chicken and french style beef. The soup had too much cilantro and for a person who likes cilantro and have had my fair share of westlake beef soup, it felt overbearing. Besides that, all their other dishes were solid. Their beef in both the noodle and french style beef dish were soooo very tender - it was delicious! If you're looking for a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, come check them out. Overall, solid spot. read more

The #1 spot was full, so this was my second choice. Got seated right away and they brought hot tea.Big menu and i had a hard time deciding. Settled on the chef special kung pao combo(3meats). Inside was what you'd expect tile floors and dragons hanging from the ceiling. I ordered chili oil over wontons. Not really spicy but i also love heat on my food. Both came out at the same time so I ate the app first. The entree was good a bit more veggies than meat but it was good. Also got a hong kong tea because hot tea in the summer.... Too much. I liked it and the prices were good. read more

This bums me out SO much! I was always a fan of this place, but after delivery yesterday I've got to find a new Chinese spot since this wasn't great at all. (All my experiences from here were based on take-out & delivery) Orange Chicken -- 2 stars. Overcooked, stringy, and the chicken had too much pull to it. Was hoping to have leftovers for days but threw this out since the quality was not good. Mu Shu Chicken - 4 1/2 Stars. Favorite dish of the order. Mu Shu was great, very rich in flavor. Asked for 4 extra pancakes, was charged $5 for all 4. The base price before was $13.95, $1.25 for each extra pancake seems quite steep. Mixed Vegetable Chow Mein - 3 Stars. Nothing was wrong with this dish, but it lacked flavor and depth. Very mid in my opinion. Overall, this was so disappointing. read more

First course: Boiled chicken The classic boiled chicken has golden skin and tender meat. It is served with spicy seasoning and tastes very delicious. Second course: Butter shrimp Although the color is white and looks a bit greasy, the shrimp meat should be fresh and juicy. The accompanying lettuce adds a layered taste. Third course: Stir-fried choy sum with meat This dish is colorful and paired with mushrooms and a variety of vegetables. It is properly stir-fried, balanced in nutrition, and tastes good. Fourth course: Scallops This seafood dish has a unique taste, paired with scallions and other ingredients, and the color is attractive, suitable for seafood lovers. Fifth course: Fried dumplings The skin is golden and crispy, the filling inside may be rich, accompanied by sauce, suitable as an appetizer. read more
