The xiao long bao dumplings are twisted so the top skins are hard. Also a bit flavorless... The steamed bun meat was a meatball and it was not tasty. The noodles were delicious and their texture was on point, nice chewy noodles that were the perfect thickness. There are many layers to the flavor of the braised beef noodle broth. The chocolate dumplings came with a salty cream to balance out the sweetness. It is filled with melted chocolate. Customer service is good. They are very busy. Very expensive for the quality. They did accommodate us for our reservation.

This place is bigger then I thought. The decor is amazing, it transcends you to another place. They have outdoor seating for those nice spring days and even bar seating. Every single staff member we encounter is friendly, helpful and you can tell they enjoy they do. The food is tasty, not in the top for my dumplings, but the environment helps. If you go you need to order the Korean style pork ribs, this dish is “WOW” you will thank me later. Don’t waste your time on the fried rice, I’m a fried rice guy, and I was disappointed. Make a reservation several days is advance because time slots fill up fast. Be on time because they will give your time slot away. Let know what you think

First visit had the salt and pepper shrimp, excellent and big portion. Also had the pistachio macaron with strawberry ice cream sandwich which was very good. Second visit, had the steamed fish filet with fried rice lunch special, very good. 1/13/25: Chicken with mushroom and peapod lunch special. 3/14/25: Deep fried pork chop with fried rice and egg drop soup. Pretty good, get extra spicy with hot sauce.

From the moment we came in, their host greeted us with a big smile and sat us quickly. Restaurant was very clean. Mary was our server and she outdid herself. Checked in frequently to make sure we are all set. Food was AMAZING 10/10 according to my teen daughter. Happy we stopped in and hope to do so again if time allows before our vacation ends.

We were truly amazed by how good the service was! The waiter and waitress were very friendly, and very attentive to us. They kept making sure that we had everything we needed. The food was excellent! We ordered lemon chicken and honey walnut shrimp. We were surprised they also offer sashimi! We love this restaurant and we are absolutely going to return soon!

Found out this is the brainchild restaurant for Panda Express. it did not disappoint. The food was fresh & plentiful and although busy the service was quick for lunch time. Ordered wonton soup which came with huge shrimp and veggies. Not your typical wonton soul

Chifa is colorful, quirky and delicious. Chinese meets Peruvian, not really fusion but BBQ and stir fried with flavors and seasoning that just works well. The highlights from Chifa were the noodles, steak and rice. Dan Dan Mian, Lomo Saltado and Trinity fried rice really pairs well with beer, cocktails or good cold ole' tap. The Brulee Char Sui and Sui Mai were the disappointments... both well prepared but fell short in taste compared with the other dishes. Chifa has a wonderful interior and welcoming exterior with minimal parking on the street.

My partner and I have been wanting to try this place for a while now so decided to go here for a date night.👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨✨ All of the staff were really friendly from the hostess to the server. I will say my favorite dish had to be the black pepper prawns. 🦐 🍽️Great atmosphere, awesome staff, but the food was 🆗.

Very clean the tables in the restaurant and entire place was spotless. And you could easily gather the whole family around in the space. The woman who helped me was extra kind and gave a big smile, very welcoming at the start. Extra warm servings compared to other fast Chinese restaurants. The servings were Generous indeed. Black pepper chicken exploded with flavor. Spicy marinated teriyaki flavors. The Orange chicken is sweet, tang, with hearty meaty cuts. Again some spots the orange chicken is more batter than meat so this was appreciated and noticed. Fried rice and Chow mein are seasoned to perfection noodles are soft and the rice is plentiful.

It's typical Chinese fanfare but on the higher price spectrum for a la carte items. Parking is difficult since it's on the mail street but manageable at the adjacent parking lot. My fave is the salt and pepper tofu. When you order a la carte it's not speedy but the food is worth the wait.

Excellent, service food. This is true meaning of hole in the wall food. Don't pass this up.

This was the 1st restaurant I visited when I moved to Valley Village in 2002. It's been a favorite ever since. It's no surprise it's lasted the test of time. House Special Chicken for the win!

GREATEST TASTING ORANGE CHICHEN EVER GREATEST TASTING VEGETABLE FRIED RICE EVER

Found a roach in my food. Reported to Health department. Nothing has happened, nor have I heard anything. Thought I should at least share. They quickly took my plate so I couldn’t get a picture. They knew the drill…highly recommend staying away.

Delicious food. Really tasty and savory. I have tried the Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Pepper Beef, I would say it’s a 10/10 so far. The hot and sour soup paired with the fried rice is exquisite. They also have a crispy cabbage veggie roll that just crunches and adds depth to the experience. Definitely a must have if you’re in the area. Try it once and I know you’ll return like I have. Compliments to the chefs and waitresses are genuine and honestly nice. Atmosphere is nice. The picture is the orange chicken

Hands down the best Chinese food I've ever had in LA! This was my first time ordering from here. I got steamed potstickers and mu shu pork, super flavorful and large portions for a pretty good price. Definitely my new favorite Chinese spot!

Very good. Tried for the first time and will definitely return. The pork fried rice was excellent. Lots of pork. Lots of flavor. More flavor than most places. Very tasty on its own. The Beef with String Beans was excellent. Tender beef. Very good ratio of beef to beans. Very flavorful. Definitely a repeat. The Garlic Shrimp was very disappointing. Didn't taste garlic. It had good flavors and the shrimp was fresh and not overcooked, but when I order something with garlic in the name, I anticipate tasting garlic. The Hot and Sour Soup was very good. Plenty of tofu, but would have preferred more mushrooms and bamboo shoots. It had about half of what other restaurants give. Lots of great flavor. A little more sweet than I'd prefer though. The chicken dumplings were good, but maybe not the best choice for take-out. Good flavor. Not greasy, but ate them at least thirty minutes after cooking and they should be eaten immediately. I'm definitely returning and trying other dishes.

If you're looking for quick bite and don't have a whole lot of cash, this is the ideal place. Not really ideal for kids but if you're also looking for privacy while having a quick meal, I'd highly recommend it. This place has been around for decades and I've probably been going there for just as long. Go check them out..

This is a little secret gym in my neighborhood. The food is delicious. The people are nice. The price is aren't bad. Sorry. No photos but please support this neighborhood gym especially if they have the skinny noodles. This is an added post to this j&j wok. They're very nice people. The food is delicious. This is the only place where you can get two kinds of noodles but they're very consistent on their food. Times are hard. Prices are a little high but they haven't raised them that crazy. Please visit j&j wok. Be patient when there's the line. Thank you. I've added photos

I've been here multiple times and I've never been disappointed. The portions they give here are MASSIVE, I'm always surprised when my dish is being served. The servers are always kind and welcoming! A handful of tables to sit at, and the location has blinds that prevent the sun from coming in and heating up the place.

It would be great if everyone worked as a team instead of leaving one cashier to handle all the tasks. They shouldn’t just be shaking hands and walking around without paying attention to the customers. The cashier should be more helpful and greet customers with a smile, rather than looking disinterested. This will be my last meal here because the experience really took away my appetite.

We recently placed an order through the Panda Express online app for a Family Meal and picked it up in-store. The ordering process was smooth, and the estimated wait time was reasonable. However, we were pleasantly surprised when our food was ready even quicker than expected—a definite plus for a busy evening. For our meal, we selected White Steamed Rice, Super Greens, The Original Orange Chicken, Honey Sesame Chicken Breast, Beijing Beef, and added an extra Mushroom Chicken. Starting with the highlights, The Original Orange Chicken was exactly what we expected—crispy, tangy, and sweet with that signature orange glaze. It remains a fan favorite for a reason. The Mushroom Chicken was also a hit, with tender chicken, fresh mushrooms, and zucchini in a light but flavorful sauce. Unfortunately, not all the dishes lived up to our expectations. The Beijing Beef was decent but didn’t stand out compared to the Orange Chicken. The Super Greens were fresh and provided a nice balance to the meal, though they were on the garklcky side. The White Steamed Rice was standard—nothing special, but it did its job as a neutral base. The biggest letdown was the Honey Sesame Chicken Breast. It had a very starchy texture and lacked the vibrant flavor we were hoping for. It didn’t quite match the quality of the other entrées, and we wouldn’t order it again. The pickup process was quick and easy. When I arrived, the restaurant wasn’t too busy, and my food was already packed and ready. The employees were polite, though there wasn’t much interaction beyond handing me the order. The packaging was sturdy, and everything was still warm when I got home. Overall, our experience at Panda Express was a mix of highs and lows. While the Orange Chicken and Mushroom Chicken were great, the Honey Sesame Chicken Breast was a disappointment, and the rest of the dishes were just okay. The fast pickup and reliable online ordering were definite positives, but the inconsistency in food quality means we’d be more selective with our choices next time.

Food is amazing. Been going there for over 20 yrs+. The go to is the Dinner Special. Soft noodles with shrimp. Served with fried rice, egg roll and 1 fried shrimp. The hot tea is also such a treat. I wish they brought back the peas and carrots in their fried rice. Try the Shrimp Chips. My kids fight over it.

First time here, I ordered take out. Waited while my food was prepared, pretty fast service! I ordered orange chicken (was too soggy, not crunchy by the time I got home, and a bit too sweet. Would not order again unless I eat it there maybe). The house chow mein on the other hand was great! Loved it!
