What a gem in LA Chinatow! The husband & wife owners were so helpful in explaining the menu & offering recommendations. This place is fairly small & unassuming, but everyone there seemed to be regulars (which is a great sign) We ordered: Best Tofu in Town - Homemade Tofu with meat gravy sauce - Everyone said I had to order this dish. The tofu was slightly firm on the outside to maintain the shape from all the fravy-like sauce, but it was so silly in the middle. The sauce had minced meat and so many amazing umami. Eggplant Szechuan-Style - all the vegetables were cooked perfectly - watch out the vegetables are scalding hot - The wok has to be on super high heat to cook the eggplant perfectly. Pork Chop With Pepper Salt - fav dish. The pork was perfectly fried: crispy on the outside & tender + juicy inside. The pepper & salt seasoning added just the right flavor Sauteed Pea Leaf (limited seasonal) the leaves were sauteed to perfection! You can tell they put so much care as they removed.thr harder, more fibrous stems and the leaves were so sweet & tender. Beef Chow Fun With Vegetable (dry instead of gravy or wet sauce) I mistakenly ordered dry when I wanted to order Beef Stew Chow Fun. We added the sauce from the tofu & it worked What a great value with great portions - we had enough leftover for another full dinner. Other recommended items we didn't order this time but will save it for next visit: Tea Smoked Duck read more

First time at Jade Wok. I googled best Chinese food in Chinatown and Jade Wok had the highest rating. Once we ordered the food came out quickly. The BBQ pork fried rice and Mongolian beef were delicious. We also ordered sweet & sour chicken which was is on for me. My mil love chow neon so we ordered it to go for her. I took a bite after we gave it to her and it was a little dry. The only server was very nice and the restaurant was packed so patience was a must. Overall, I would recommend. read more

I've been a fan of Jade Wok since my former work used to order from here. The last time I had them was in 2019 so I was glad to be able to eat their food again! You must get their house made tofu with meat sauce, it's sooooooo gooood! The price is so reasonable for the amount of food that you get. I definitely plan to continue to come back. read more

Jade Wok - House pepper beef - Chinese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

House made tofu is pretty amazing every time - it's lightly fried, then braised with a garlic soy slightly sweet brown sauce that has great umami (and especially good poured over rice, noodles or in my case, the Szechwan eggplant). The char siu war wonton soup is awesome! Great chicken and pork based stock with lots of fresh vegetables. Chicken wings here (sticks and drums, 8pcs per serving currently) are juicy, tender, real chicken flavor, marinated in an adobo-style seasoning and then tossed with fresh green onions, jalapeños, and fresh minced garlic in hot oil. It's on a quiet mostly residential street, and patronized usually by lots of local families, but service turnaround is fast and they do delivery via all the usual services. Def. the freshest flavorful tofu around. Seafood dishes have always been fresh and delightfully seasoned. They still use nice extras like water chestnuts and bamboo shoots when available. They usually only have 2 servers on the floor, but they respond very quickly to waves for service. Non-step access is available by coming in from the Alpine cross street side of the sidewalk. 3 x 8 person tables, plus a half dozen 4-tops, so it's limited for big parties read more

This is our one of our go to spots in Chinatown! We love coming to Jade wok!! You definitely have to try the tofu!! We usually get a double order one to eat there and want to take home. It's absolutely delicious!! Our favorite dish The sauce is decadent, and the tofu itself is super silky. It's definitely one of our best dishes, and it's highly rated for a reason. Another one of our favorite dishes is their noodle dishes. My favorite are the Chow fun and the Singapore noodles. We also like getting fish when we come whether it be the whole fried fish or their salt and pepper fried fish fillets. We also like getting the pork chops and the spareribs both come with huge portions that are very easy to share. This time we also got the Szechuan eggplant. It was in a sweet-and-sour sauce and came with bell peppers and onions. Other than the food we love coming back because of the service not only do they remember our drink order and our favorite dishes, but they're very welcoming and accommodating to anything you need! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu and they're super accommodating if you have any dietary restrictions or if you want to make something extra spicy or mild. read more

Still a great neighborhood place for good Chinese foods with less wait in the morning since it sort off tuck on small street away from the main streets in Chinatown. Drive by other places that we want to try but seeing the lines so we went here. No line at 11ish am. But our usual table and quick ordered and the foods came out within 10mins. It's hot, delicious and just big portion that we have to take home the left over for 2 lunch meals. The prices are so cheaper and with the portions, we love it. Great & friendly service & quick too. Glad I came back here with less hassle. By the time we leave, the place is packed. Parking can be tricky since it's street parking so good luck with that. read more

Overall, I would give them a 4.5. There was just one dish I didn't care for. Wasn't horrible, just bland. One that was just ok. Everything that came from the wok were scrumptious. If coming with a large group, call for reservation. This place is busy. Also, keep in mind that their portions are generous while ordering. But the dishes from the wok are delicious so having leftovers to enjoy later wouldn't be a bad thing. Housemade bean curd - if you like tofu, this is a must. It is soooo good. Like eyes roll back into your head foodgasmic good. Best tofu I have had anywhere. I would go back to eat just this with rice and be happy. Seafood crispy noodles were ok. Nothing spectacular but good. Stir fried beans were delicious. House made spareribs - tender and flavorful. Delicious. Salt and pepper pork chops were also perfectly cooked and flavorful. Yum. Beef chow funn - good. My son liked it. Fried rice with chicken and salted fish. Great wok hei. Fish was perfect. Not too fishy or salty. Wonton mein - Don't reccomend. Noodles were a little over cooked. Soup was bland. Wonton were meh. The staff are really friendly and did their best to accommodate our large party. The cleanliness in their kitchen is impressive. Even my son made comments about how pleasantly surprised he was with how clean the kitchen was when he walked through to go to the restroom. I will most definitely be back the next time we are in LA Chinatown. read more

Overall, I give this place 4,.5 stars! I ordered several items: Homemade tofu, Shanghai style spare ribs and beef chow fun. The spare ribs had a flavorful, bold glaze. It was kind of fun to eat because some meat parts had small bones, others had bigger bones, and some had no bones. The beef chow fun was delicious with chewy noodles and tender beef. My favorite was definitely the tofu. It had blocks of lightly fried tofu and topped off with a brown, meat sauce. I fried texture of the tofu soaks in all the brown sauce and the tofu was melt in your mouth delicious. Everything was seasoned well and the portions are generous enough to share. The ambiance is not very inspiring with visible containers and lack of a front desk, but the food is more than inspiring enough. Ample parking in the back and you can go through the back kitchen door to enter the restaurant. The only hiccup to my dining experience was when I tried to pay the bill. I tried to pay with a credit card, but the server said their credit card machines were not working. I would've liked to know beforehand, but otherwise the service was great and friendly. read more

Been coming here for a long long time. We cater all the time for Studious Coworking down the street. Sue is amazing, she remembers everyone and their dietary preferences... and their friends and partners. Don't take your side girlfriend here. You will get in trouble! Jokes aside. My favorite dishes: Snowpea leaves salt & pepper fish black bean fish house special tofu with mushrooms ( vegan!) You can ask for anything. The chefs are great, they make everything taste good. The dishes are so impressive when they come out, especially if you get something that sizzles. Get the catering. It is so good, so fresh, so affordable! And they deliver. Just bring cash to get the best deal. Cause who wants to pay the banks and merchant processing more money. read more

A hidden gem, Jade Wok offers house made tofu which is the best I have experienced. I would travel to DTLA just for the House Tofu served with rice. Silky, flavorful, comforting tofu is smothered in a savory black bean sauce which adds the right balance of delicious flavors. The menu is several pages long with some pictures. Therefore, I chose by recommendations made by several friends who dine at Jade Wok weekly. I would definitely return and try many other items on their menu which caught my eye while dinning there with my family. The House Special Pork Ribs were our second favorite item ordered. Tender sweet bites size pork ribs had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. We collectively loved the ribs. The House Chow Mein which contained shrimp, chicken and pork is served with soft thin noodles. Unlike most chow meins, this was not oily and salty. The Fried Dumplings were average in texture and taste; although it was good, I would not order this here again to leave me room to explore their many vast menu options. To finish our meal on a perfect note, we ordered the sesame balls for desert. Five small balls were served hot and crispy. Not too sweet or oily, these were the best sesame buns I've had in China Town DTLA. read more

What a great find. Love that they have such affordable options for delivery. The homemade tofu is like everyone says - so fresh, soft and flavorful. The beef wonton noodle soup is also a solid choice - the noodles were a bit too soft since we ordered delivery but I would still get this again. Fried chicken wings are also good but on the saltier side. Overall a good value for the low price, will definitely order again! read more

Great, great, great Chinese in China Town on College. Famous for their homemade tofu which was soft and custard-like with a great "secret sauce". Loved their tiny sticky ribs. Tons of bones but truly worth it. Shrimp was a good size and not overcooked. Staff were friendly. Check the hours. I think they closed at 8:30 pm the mid-week evening we were there. read more

My husband had been telling me about Jade Wok in LA . He's been eating here since I've known him And he brings his friends and co workers and employees here but I've never been here . One day for Mother's Day he took me to Jade Wok . Boy oh boy! Jade was there with her big smile and and so happy to see my husband and introduce me to her. We clicked , she was the nicest person and she really treat you well even it was the first time you met her. The service was fast and the foods they were so tasty and so good . Yes, it's a hole in the hole but I tell that hole in the wall was much better place than the 5 star restaurant in LA. I have squid yesterday 7/3/2026 and it was cooked to perfection. KUDOS to you JADE WOK. I'll be back for more..... read more

My friends, daughter, and I went to a LNY Gu Grocery event at Studious Coworking space and wanted a late lunch/early dinner. Judy, the owner of Studious recommended Jade Wok and it was just what we were looking for. Very humble homey/neighborhood vibes. Quiet place with big posters above highlighting their special dishes. We ordered the house tofu and spare ribs that everyone mentioned and really enjoyed them both. Super savory and tender, a cozy warm dish - so good, my friend just had to give the table next to us a bite! Lots of fresh veggies in the cashew chicken that we all enjoyed to balance the beige foods! I also ordered garlic string beans which were very plain, they don't add meat or preserved vegetables for extra flavor. People are super nice, definitely recommend it for someplace simple if you are in the neighborhood. read more

I was very VERY impressed with the food and flavors here. Unlike other Chinese restaurants, the food is not super salty, you could easily have a spoonful of the tofu sauce (no it's not mapo tofu) without rice. But again, why would you want to do that? Speaking of the tofu, it is made in house and the silky and bouncy texture was just mind blowing. They fry it before pouring over a delicious sauce made of pork and other seasonings. Everything else was good too. Ribs were glazed (but not overly sweet) and tender, and the beef chow fun was delicious. Not salty too. And the beef chunks were juicy and soft. I went for dinner on a week day around 7pm. When we left at around 7:40, the place was packed with Chinese and non-Chinese people. Always a good sign. Lots of parking spots on the back. Service was nice and quick. I had a play to catch, but it was enough time to sit, eat and leave in 40minutes. Portions are generous, make sure to go with more people to try different things - I know I will! read more

This place has a lot of traditional dishes at a great price/value. The house special home made tofu is phenomenal. It's my go-to item. Generally speaking based on the several times I've been here, I get the impression that the menu items that have pictures along the wall tend to be the better items. Dishes I liked: Home made tofu - amazing texture, crispy outside and soft inside with a savory black bean sauce. Literally my favorite dish here and the rest I come here. Fish filet with spicy salt - excellent soft texture with crispy outside. I wish it had more white pepper seasoning, but overall still good. Dishes that were fine but I would not get again: Eggplant - taste was excellent, but the skin was a bit too tough and thick Walnut shrimp - taste is fine, but the shrimp wasn't crispy at all, just soggy and drenched in the sauce Shanghai style pork ribs - excellent taste, but I wish it were cooked a bit longer so it's more tender Dishes I didn't like: Beef chow fun - nothing special, the noodles weren't chewy, a bit over cooked and soggy. Seasoning was salty but not savory. Service and ambiance were both fine, but don't factor into my rating. My rating is just for the food. read more

My friend and I finally tried out Jade Wok, basically the definition of a hole in the wall spot in Chinatown. Parking is hard but the food is well worth it. The Sesame Chicken has excellent flavors, crispy, as well! We did carry out so the house special tofu wasn't quite as crisp but that's on me. Enjoyed the flavors and also the Shanghai Spare Ribs were bomb! From all I've heard these are the 3 main dishes to try here. Now that I've had those and find them absolutely delish, time to move on to me trying more of their items. But get any of those three, and you're in for mouth happiness and your wallet won't be sad either. read more

Jade Wok - Pork Chop with Pepper Salt - Chinese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Jade Wok is your staple neighborhood Chinese restaurant - glad they're still around! We tried the white rice, pan fried string beans, sweet and sour chicken, and honey walnut shrimp. Everything needed a bit more salt / flavor IMO, but it was still delicious over some hot white rice. It was about $60 after tax and tip for those four dishes, pretty good value for the portions as well. I recommend calling ahead if you're ordering to go as they were ready within 15 minutes of me placing a phone order. Keep in mind that there are about two staff members who are answering phones, taking in person orders from diners, bringing out the dishes and bussing them back, so they run a tight ship here and it might be a bit difficult to get their immediate attention. Restroom: Not sure if they have one since I ordered for pick up, but it seems likely that they do. Parking: Metered, street, and I think there's a small lot in the back? read more

Located just on the edge of Chinatown. Parking available on the street. I noticed a parking lot in the rear but not sure if free. Family owned restaurant and they're super friendly here. Got three dishes (see pics) and all of them were excellent. Their house special tofu is a high light. Never had a tofu dish like this. It's a whole piece of tofu and a sauce that is delicious! Any left over sauce I used it up with a bowl of rice. Definitely get this dish if you come in. I was also impressed with their sesame chicken. It was breaded nicely and was addictive in taste. I kept nibbling on pieces after I was full. Chinatown has changed over the years as it is more gentrified. I'm glad there's still a few places that remind me of the old school Chinatown and this is one of those places. Their food is a good reminder of how good Chinese food was, and still is, in this area. read more

My go to place whenever I'm working in the LA area. Reminds me of my parents cooking. I would always get their pork chop with salt/pepper, house special tofu, and congee: preserved duck egg with meat. Service is amazing. Owners/staff go above and beyond to make sure food/dining experience is up to par. It can get a little crowded during lunch hour(s) so be prepare to wait. They accept cash and credit cards (with a small fee ofc). You can order over the phone and pick up. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. read more

A friend recommended Jade Wok, and I'm so glad I decided to visit! Jade Wok has all-around delicious, authentic Chinese food. The inside is unassuming, but there's plenty of space. I was immediately seated when I entered on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered a variety of dishes to try. The string beans with garlic is a classic dish. I liked the crispiness of the beans, and the garlic flavor was fragrant. The shrimp with pepper salt was phenomenal. Every piece had a flaky exterior with a soft interior. The pepper salt added a nice kick to the shrimp. Jade Wok has a dish called "Homemade Best Tofu in Town." I would have to agree with the name of the dish - it was simply the silkiest, softest, best tofu in Chinatown and probably across Los Angeles. The tofu is freshly made and smothered in a savory, rich sauce. I would come back to Jade Wok solely for this tofu dish. I had such a delicious meal at Jade Wok, and I will definitely be returning in the future for another round of standout dishes! read more
