Wonton Soup

Everything you'd want from a restaurant-freshly prepared food, excellent service and the highest quality chicken!! Lunch-chinese chicken salad, egg rolls and wonton soup were the best!!!

Spicy Firm Tofu With A Seasonal Green Vegetable
Steve A.

Came for lunch at this DTLA Chinese restaurant and it turned out to be good. It can be pricy but that's to be expected for many places around here. The New Moon has lots of the Chinese classics along with some more modern things. Good mix of Americanized and more traditional items. Prices may be the only complaint, but the portions kind of make up for these it seems. At lunch it wasn't that busy. It's not a big place, but there's enough room for plenty of enough tables inside. The menu has many of the so called Americanized favorites, and those looking for more traditional offerings can also find these. It's about $20 for an entree. Ouch. The good thing is the big portions. Kind of makes up for it. We got some of the things good for vegetarians. Has quite a lot to choose among. I got Spicy Firm Tofu With A Seasonal Green Vegetable. Good and the spiciness was hot enough. This was tossed in a light spicy brown sauce. As for the green vegetable, it was broccoli. There was plenty enough to take a bit home. For sure we could come back. It's pricy but the portions are big and it's like getting a couple meals. There's spicy entrees with many choices for vegans and vegetarians.

Ordered mabo tofu, got this soup [looks like hot and sour soup], tasted fine, just not what I ordered lol. Vegetable dumplings were soggy and clumped together.

The BEST Chinese chicken salad in Los Angeles. The salad is crisp, fresh, and light -- the chicken is perfectly seasoned and tender and the crispy wontons adds the perfect smoky crust. The plum sauce over the salad puts it over the top -- make sure to drizzle it on top and ask for it on the side! The Chloe shrimp was also delicious, eating it fresh is always best as it stays crispy with the tangy and sweet sauce atop it. Service is always quick and great, and make sure to order the chicken salad and you won't be disappointed!

A delicious hide away

The best chicken salad around downtown LA. Plum sauce is tasty. All food portions are generous and the prices are reasonable.

I believe this is harassment and retaliation for my unfavorable review. I was also told that Miguel de Alba learned the employee had spoken with me and then told everyone not to let me in. After the original incident, I stopped going to the store. I returned only because an employee approached me, told me Miguel de Alba was gone, and encouraged me to come back. That same employee later told me that Miguel de Alba had instructed employees not to let me in. I was accused of shoplifting and prevented from leaving the store. There was security-camera footage of the incident, so the owners can review it and see what happened for themselves. I believe it is unacceptable for a manager to ban a customer because of an unfavorable review, especially after the customer was accused of theft and prevented from leaving. I also believe it is unacceptable for management to involve employees and other store locations in what appears to be an ongoing effort to keep me out and punish me for speaking publicly about my experience. Because of these events, I no longer feel safe returning to this store or visiting other locations in my neighborhood. I believe the way I have been treated amounts to harassment. I still appreciate the employees who have treated me well and believe the food is good. My concerns are specifically about Miguel de Alba, the management, and the way this business has handled my complaint. I will not be returning or attempting to resolve this directly with Miguel de Alba. I am documenting my experience and would still welcome direct communication from the owner.

This location is a fun spot, though ordering is not the most pleasant on a hot afternoon. The line goes out the door - quite literally - and seating is not plentiful indoors. The line forms on the stairs. I had their pumpkin cheesecake and iced latte. The latte was super strong, which was perfect for me. The pumpkin cheesecake was a surprise especially. Pumpkin can easily overpower many dishes or make them less than tasty. However, their blend with cheesecake here was amazing. The pumpkin taste was gentle, and the texture was smooth. Both blended well with the natural taste of cheesecake - 10/10! I'm not the biggest fan of whipped cream and chocolate, but the modest toppings were delicate and welcomed for presentation. Can't finish? Don't worry, I couldn't either... it's quite a big portion! There are takeaway boxes by the self-serve water. Though seating isn't plentiful, the dining experience is relaxing thanks to their high ceilings and darker environment. There are also four individual restrooms (I believe all gender neutral), which was highly appreciated.

Every time I visit, the service is superb, and the staff always helps make the experience that much better. It's refreshing to visit a location where the customer service is consistently great and you feel welcomed. My go-to order is the D Lox Pizza, and it never disappoints! It's flavorful, satisfying, and something I find myself coming back for every time I visit. I love finding a menu item that you can consistently count on to hit the spot. What really sets this location apart, though, is the service. The staff is attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the overall dining experience enjoyable from beginning to end. Consistency goes a long way, and this location definitely gets it right. If you're looking for a great spot to grab a bite in a welcoming atmosphere with excellent customer service, I'd absolutely recommend Urth Caffé. I'll definitely keep coming back for my D Lox Pizza!

The Bottom Line 3.5 stars: Good option when in the area, with some concerns as noted below…read more Location 3 stars: Downtown Los Angeles Arts District, northeast corner of Matteo Street and Whittier Blvd, across the Matteo complex. Coming from the San Fernando Valley, nearest Freeways are the 101 (Exit 2A - Alameda Street/Union Station) and the 5 (Exit 135A - 4th Street). There is limited street parking. We self-parked in a paid ($10 after 6 PM) structure attached to the complex. Venue 4 stars: Huge venue with indoor seating, a large bar area, and a nice rustic and relaxing patio area. Service 3.5 stars: Friendly and helpful but not very attentive. Food 3 stars: We stopped by for lunch on a weekday. They were serving their Brunch menu at that time. It featured a large assortment of offerings including soups, salads, specialty items such as Avocvado Toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, burgers, sandwiches and egg dishes such as Eggs Benedict, omelets, wraps and sandwiches and chillaquiles. We had the Zinc Benedict (Salmon), the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Avocado Toast. All were just OK but unfortunately lacked in plating/presentation and taste and were rather small for the price. Also their "poached" eggs are not really poached... they were steamed in molds, giving them more of a rubbery texture compared to a true poached egg. Drinks 3.5 stars: Full bar, specialty cocktails and mocktails, specialty coffee/tea/matcha and juices. I had the Iced White Mocha, which was ok.

At this price point, there are better restaurants with faster service to visit nearby. - - - - - - Zinc, what an element - pun intended. I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

The portion size was shockingly small and felt more like a $15 meal than something worth $30. The bowl was barely filled. There were only a few small pieces of chicken, a handful of cucumbers and tomatoes, and what appeared to be less than a full scoop of rice. To make matters worse, a significant portion of the space in the container was taken up by dressing cups rather than actual food. The overall presentation made it seem like very little care was taken in preparing the order.As a customer, I expect to receive fair value for what I am paying. For a $30 salad, the portion should be generous, consistent, and reflective of the price. Instead, I felt shortchanged and frustrated by the experience.I should not have to come into the store and personally monitor the preparation of my order to ensure that the salad bowl is properly filled. Customers should be able to trust that their meals will be prepared accurately and consistently every time. If employees are not willing to provide customers with the value they are paying for, it raises serious concerns about quality control and customer service. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements to how takeout orders are prepared. I would like to continue supporting your business, but experiences like this make it difficult to justify spending $30 on a salad that arrived half empty and far below expectations.
