I wasn't feeling great although UCLA winning its second football game in a row made me feel better canceling going to the game in person. With nothing to forage in my joint I called FU's and ordered takeout hot braised shrimp and sautéed lemon chicken because I'm Celiac and cannot have flour. Some places fry in corn starch which is much tastier but I went this route. I walked to the corner and my food was ready when I got there. I was tempted to order two new dishes and see if they can make it in five minutes, but I decided that would be expensive and silly. I walked back to my place with my steamed rice and divided up a plate. This will last me three meals. The hot braised shrimp had a really nice kick to it, but perhaps the spicy flavorful shrimp Orrei shadowed the rather bland lemon chicken. I've had it before here and it was much more lemony and pungent. Perhaps the lack of frying weakened the sauce. Anyway, a good local joint.

Mongolian Beef Lunch

My daughter and I were searching for a spot to host a welcome dinner for her Summer 2026 wedding, which will take place nearby at the Smog Shoppe. Wanting to find something fun, welcoming, and in deference to the groom's heritage, she came across Fu's Palace. As we drove past, she considered just keeping on going -- the exterior is definitely dated and kitschy. But I encouraged her to stop. I'm glad I did. First surprise: plenty of free parking in the back -- a real bonus in LA. Inside, we were greeted warmly by a friendly, enthusiastic woman (Margarita - or Margaret as the locals know her) who was more than happy to show us around. The private event room can hold up to 90 guests, and there's a bar area and even an outdoor lanai space. Yes, it's a throwback -- red booths, vintage carpet, classic Chinese décor -- but it's got charm. In fact, it oddly complements the Smog Shoppe's retro-industrial vibe. We decided to stay for lunch. We ordered the tangerine chicken and Mongolian beef -- both were very good, and the portions were generous enough that we had leftovers. Lunch came with rice, soup, tea, and what I think was an egg roll -- I enjoyed everything. The service was excellent, and prices were very reasonable. Funny note: not a chopstick in sight -- maybe too many old-timers who prefer forks? It just added to the vintage charm. A few days later, we had lunch in Sawtelle with a longtime LA local (and future in-law). When we mentioned Fu's Palace, her face lit up: "That place is an LA institution!" She recalled work events and many meals there over the years, confirming what we were starting to feel -- this place has heart and history. We're planning to reserve the space for the welcome dinner in July. I'm not quite ready to give it 5 stars -- we'll see how the event goes -- but for now, it's a solid 4 stars. Great service, good food, quirky charm, and a welcoming feel. Definitely trending upward!

*** I think the most important thing that I need to say before I get into this review is this: anyone who reads the reviews for this restaurant and sees one that says "this is the worst food I've ever had I can't believe that the good reviews are real" has an agenda against this restaurant, clearly. There's no reason to say something like that in the first place, and it's also not true. The food is outstanding. It absolutely defines what New York style Chinese restaurants are supposed to be about. *** I consider myself an expert on east coast American Chinese food. I grew up going to Chinese restaurants when other people were going to McDonald's. As a teenager I worked in our local Chinese restaurant, the Peking chef, a very traditional East Coast Cantonese restaurant. Any time I've moved, the first job was to find out where the good Chinese food was. I am a lifer. I've lived in California since 1994 and have yet to find anything that matches what I ate as a kid. A few years ago I came to yelp looking for good New York style Chinese food in the Los Angeles area. I know there's a lot of great Chinese food here, but it is West Coast style which in my humble opinion, isn't as good. Primarily because of the bias that comes from loving what you grew up with, New York style is my favorite. And, as most of you who live out here now, it's hard to find good Chinese food that falls into that category. Not too long ago, in one of my occasional Facebook posts asking people if they knew of someplace good that fit this description, somebody mentioned Fu's Palace and for some unknown reason, I ignored the response and moved on with my life. There was a place that I was going to in Henderson Nevada that I loved and we were there often enough that I didn't feel like I was missing anything. Then I discovered Genghis Cohen, and found a lot of what I was looking for, but not all of it. And I found Paul's kitchen, which also had some of what I liked, but not all of it. And we also had a place in the SCV (since closed) called new Moon, which had what they referred to as a New York style egg roll, which really wasn't, but they did have good egg foo yong. What I'm getting at in my overly long way is I hadn't really found what I was looking for, until today when I visited Fu's Palace. It was everything I wanted. The New York Chinatown interior feel, the pot of tea brought to the table when you sat down along with the chow mein crispy noodles... Just experiencing those two things when I first walked through the door had me hooked. Then I ordered and was brought back to a place in time that felt like it did 40 years ago. I ended up ordering the wonton soup, which was as it should be, broth scallions and wontons. I ordered the eggrolls, which was as it should be, thick and bubbly deep fried filled with shredded cabbage, celery and carrots with generous Pieces of shrimp and "red" pork. I ordered the egg foo yong, which was as it should be, fluffy lightly fried omelettes filled with sprouts and big chunks of bbq char siu and with a side of that sublime brown sauce. And I ordered the spare ribs which were perfectly baked, with just the right amount of sweet barbecue sauce, not so that it drips off but that it stays on. Sydney had the vegetable steamed dumplings and a gigantic bowl of vegetable noodle soup that she proclaimed to be delicious and worth the trip. I ended up also getting some barbecue pork chow mein to go, so we will see how that is. I can't imagine that it's anything less than delicious. I have finally found what I've been looking for 22 years. I will definitely go back.

Me and my friend Zachary went to food Palace when we got there nobody else was at the tables which means we're a full room to ourselves. #Fun. We proceeded to dine on sweet-and-sour pork, pork dumplings, lo mein, beef, and honey nut walnut shrimp that was covered in a viscous white sauce, which was quite unusual. We very much enjoyed the lo mein beef as it was salty and tasty. The pork dumplings came out with a different normal different color than normal. Less than expected yet were delicious and by far of my favorite the sweet-and-sour pork was a mainly fry, but it was all right yet interesting in texture and the yeah that's about. It would go back again. Atmosphere was quiet and euphoric while we could hear much arguing in a likely Chinese language in the kitchen#HomiesBirthday #ChineseFoodTheBest #TheBomb

Mongolian Beef Combination

The food here was delicious! Service was very friendly. I got the dinner combination plate with Mongolian beef. They were also playing the World Series game in here! Would definitely recommend to everyone!

The service is so nice! We called ahead and he was very friendly. The food was yummy. Chicken lo mein (soft noodles) and kung pao chicken for $30 total!! Restaurant is clean but not super busy.

Buddha's Feast Mixed Vegetable
Stace G.

Great NYC-style Chinese restaurant. It's a casual, cozy vibe and friendly service. Tons of vegetarian options-- the Buddha's Feast was lovely and not too heavy. The Vegetable Lo Mein and Egg Rolls were great, and I highly recommend asking for some spicy mustard with them! Food came out super quick and piping hot. I got a simple vodka club soda, but I kind of wish I'd asked for a cocktail menu. Next time! The prices were great and there's quite a bit of free parking behind the restaurant. We came around 6ish on a Sunday and we were seated right away.

Hot and Sour Soup
Carolina O.

Very homey vibe, come for the lunch specials! Great price, ample seating and easier time to find parking. Family owned and you definitely get that vibe inside. They do have a little patio area as well. I always get good and attentive service from the staff here and the food comes out pretty fast (at least during lunch). The lunch specials are great and always a big portion but they include an veggie roll, hot soup, fried rice and choice of entree. We loved the lo mein and tangerine chicken and I've had the sweet and sour shrimp as well. And of course gotta have a fortune cookie at the end.

It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity.

Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

The braised pork belly was so incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth, and paired with the pickled carrots and cucumbers tucked into that steamed bao bun - so juicy. We also got the scallion pancakes which were crispy, chewy, and came with a soy ginger dipping sauce. The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well. The noodles were a bit on the tougher side, which is kind of expected with this style, but the flavors were solid overall. But do NOT sleep on dessert. I had to order the deep fried bao bun with ice cream scoop inside and it was delicious. Absolutely worth saving room for if you're looking to end your meal off with a sweet treat! Parking is easy with plenty of street parking nearby. Love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating - the patio outside is perfect for bigger groups at night, and the inside has its own aesthetic vibe that's equally great.

It's a very small (but super aesthetically cute) spot. There is a tiny parking area (I believe 3 spots) but we found street parking on temple. Menu is small and everything sounded great. (I learned they used to be a food pop up/cart, so makes sense!) You order at the counter and then pick a spot. The dining room inside is small with a handful of tables, but they also had many tables outside on their patio and alongside Reno street. I loved the photos of the family of the creators sprinkles through the dining room. Food was yummy. I had no expectations and I enjoyed it. The wings were nice and crunchy with tender chicken inside. Beef noodles were great, too. My only tiny qualm was staff, tho helpful, all looked very serious and I saw no smiles. It was a weird contrast to the charming spot.
