Parking can be a bear, but there are lots for a fee. It is safe and fun. Yang Chow has been there forever and they have the best fried rice and soup. They just don't serve bad food. The prices are fair and the place is comfortable and not usually crowded. It is a great place to take friends from out of town and it is kid friendly. The service is so kind and nice. They never rush you, but get your food out fast. We always get a bunch for the table and share. Their Sizzling Platter with Scallops is one of our favorited dishes and their Szechuan Chicken is so good. Their Pan Fried Dumplings and their spring rolls are a must. Have a great time in Chinatown.

I really enjoyed the dimly lit Hong Kong style bar. Food arrived pretty promptly after we ordered but we did get an array of hot and cold items. Flavors were fabulous. Fish potstickers had a delightful crunch and savory, flavorful filling. Shrimp shumai have a nice bite with plenty of filling. Our chili oil noodles had a great texture and wasn't too spicy. Their house made chili oil had a nice spice profile, not wildly spicy. Quaint place that was a perfect spot for two. Prices were reasonable and their house drinks were well balanced. Great experience.

I wasnt too sure of…read morewhat to expect, but the interior was so beautifully done with a mix of a subway/ speakeasy vibe and perfect lighting for any occasion. 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. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

And you will love any of their rice dishes. They have amazing soups as well and all of their dishes with chicken are just super tasty. They also have great beef dishes and we love their spring rolls.

Overall: 4.8!!! Can't wait to come and eat here again!…read more TLDR: casual vibe, good food (get beef noodle and pork belly) Ambiance: 5/5 (for casual dining) Woon is a cute vibrant eatery that charmingly reflects the essence of a homey Asian family style meal. From the short booths inside to the outdoor bistro style seating, there's nothing overtly fancy about the place. Definitely a casual vibe. Most importantly, I didn't feel like I'd be judged if I pulled up in a shirt and shorts. The kitchen is open and you order at a walk-up style register. Because of this, it was on the louder end (volume wise) throughout the meal since we sat inside BUT it was not too loud to have a good catch-up conversation. Definitely prefer the ambient noise of a bustling restaurant instead of the blaring electronic music found in many LA restaurants. Service was fast and friendly!! Food: 5/5 After eating here, I will be bringing everyone who visits me in LA to Woon!! I can't wait to eat here again! I ordered the beef noodles, pork belly over rice, the five spice chicken wings, and one scoop each of the two ice cream flavors they had. Holy sh*tballs the food was so good. The beef noodles had such a good flavor and the noodles themselves had an amazing chewy texture. The pork belly melted in my mouth and the sauce drizzled over the rice and veggies was so good - I actually ended up taking just the rice and veggies home (I had eaten the whole pork belly) because I couldn't stand to waste the sauce. The chicken wings were crispy and seasoned well but happened to be my least favorite dish (which is crazy because it was still so good!). I think eating the pork before the chicken definitely skewed it :) lastly, the ice cream was so delicious! I'm not completely sure if the flavors rotate but I had a vanilla scoop with peanut brittle topping as well as a vegan pineapple sorbet with a frothy pina colada tasting topping. I was so full from my actual dinner but the dessert was so good that I ended up scraping the bowl clean. When I go back, I'll be ordering the beef noodles, pork belly, and ice cream again!! I also really want to try the gai lan the next time. Price: 5/5 Definitely reasonable and a great value for the amount you get! Parking: 4/5 Street parking as much of LA usually is. Can be pretty busy and hard to find parking in the surrounding area. Got lucky and found a parallel spot down the street. Surrounding area: 5/5 I personally love a good bar after dinner and Rasarumah was such a cool/groovy place to grab a post-dinner cocktail! It was also only a block away. Echo park is also not very far if you wanted to get a little crazier. Not completely sure what else there is to do around the area especially in the daytime.

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.

Stopped by here for some last minute, late night dim sum after an excursion at the nearby General Lee's. I was pleasantly surprised at how they still had a full menu at midnight, with lots of options for dim sum, fried noodles, and traditional Chinese dishes. Service was very nice despite the full house and late hours, and quickly brought us complimentary hot tea and the dishes we ordered. I appreciated how the dim sum was freshly steamed, with generous portions of har gow and shu mai with each order. I'd probably pass on the lotus leaf sticky rice next time, which I found a bit on the blander side, but overall, I was highly impressed with the quality and price point of this spot!

The reception wasn't warm as the girl was on the phone and she just waved at us to get in. Food was scrumptious. Their basa fish fillet in chilli sauce had to be the best I've tasted. The fish was tender, sauce yummy, veggies fresh! It was excellently prepared. Husband and Wife beef and tripe slices was another outstanding dish. It was so good I had to order more rice to eat with it therefore happily broke my diet again. Steamd eggplant with pickled condiment on top tended to be on the salty side, it was soft and tasty. I loved it! Service was lukewarm at best. The girl performed her service in a convincingly nonchalant way. But at least I got lemon infused water refilled twice. :) Well decorated with Chinese cultural elements. Very spacious, clean and peaceful ambience. We had a lovely time and will return.

If you like lamb and handmade noodles, definitely give LAN Noodle a shot.

I've had these noodles in the Arcadia location and really enjoy their dry fried noodles with the wide noodle. The LAN signature soup noodle is good bc I love the cilantro. The cold apps were alright. Tofu sheets and shredded potato. Hard to get those items on the west side at all so I can't complain. It was over 100 degrees out today. And that place doesn't have AC. Someone should check on their workers. It wasnt super comfortable inside. We ran over to the target next door afterwards, just to cool off and buy some frozen treats. PARKING: Plaza parking is run by Metropolis (which I hate). You got do a QR code and license plate setup online. It was $2/hr and then a $1 service fee. Metropolis parking lots are a PIA so I feel bad LAN picked this location

Funny enough, I actually discovered Firstborn by asking AI to recommend restaurants in Los Angeles with a good prix fixe menu. Firstborn came up, and they had reservations available, so we decided to give it a try. At $68 per person for the prix fixe menu, I thought the price was very reasonable for the quality and creativity of the food. The food was excellent, and what really stood out was how creative and unexpected the dishes were. Don't come here expecting traditional Chinese food just because of the name or concept. Instead, expect a unique take with interesting flavors and creative twists that make the meal feel different from your typical dining experience. The service was fantastic throughout the evening, and the cocktails were good as well. My only minor complaint was that the restaurant felt a little cold in terms of atmosphere (and temperature). The cocktails were also a bit on the expensive side, but those were relatively minor issues compared with how much we enjoyed the meal. We didn't mention that we were celebrating our anniversary, so there wasn't any special recognition, but that's entirely on us for not letting them know! Overall, Firstborn delivered a memorable dinner with creative food, excellent service, and a reasonably priced prix fixe menu. I'm glad I took a chance on an AI recommendation, and we'd definitely consider coming back!
