Audrey and the rest of the staff were very helpful and asked if I needed any condiments which I appreciated. The restaurant looks nice and clean. I did not get to dine in since this was a togo order but next time 😃

Just found new location on westside. New Panda on Lincoln Blvd. Clean, good customer, and quick service. I really like new location plenty parking in back. I really like Honey Sesame chicken and they were out. But they quickly made a new batch and ready to serve..hot and ready. I would recommend quick and convenient new place.

The food is delicious, I return every year when I visit L.A. i recommend green curry, ginger sweet and sour fish, pineapple fried rice… you choose whatever you want because everything is really good. My pics is at 12:00 when the spot open. At this time I ordered to pick it up. 🥰🥰🥰

The most authentic and nostalgic Chinese restaurant I’ve ever known. Born and raised in the 70s in China, I’ve traveled around the world for the last 20 years and have visited all sorts of overseas Chinese restaurants. Mao’s Kitchen stands out from all the others. The food there isn’t just some Chinese food; it’s the Chinese food reminiscent of the old days, each dish with its own unique characteristics. The menu is printed on simple paper and looks aged, as if it has time-traveled to the present. It resembles an index of intriguing stories, each with a brief introduction. I was captivated, eager to discover what each story entails. Through the menu, you can feel the author’s love for the food and his appreciation for the opportunity to connect with each guest through the dishes. Every dish is alive, speaking to you, telling a story, full of life and heartfelt eagerness to share its essence with you. The first bite of the complimentary fried crackers, served in a simple stainless steel bowl, unexpectedly brought me to tears. They tasted exactly like the homemade crackers fresh out of the big frying pot that I used to have in my childhood during Lunar New Year. You can’t find the same in any other Chinese restaurant or supermarket. You could only have such food either cooked by Grandma at home or here. The Two-dollar Salad was worth twenty dollars. It was simple, ample, and nimble, so fresh that it seemed like it had just been brought to the table directly from the backyard garden. The sauce was another big surprise. I could tell the base was sesame paste, which is the traditional sauce we use in northern China, but there was also something else in the sauce that I couldn’t identify, making it uniquely tasty. The Hot and Sour Soup was not exactly the typical recipe but something more special. The large portion was enough for four people, so be cautious if you are dining alone. Mao’s Hometown with fish was again simple but surprisingly delicious. Fresh vegetables with tender sole fillet in a secret recipe sauce, cooked to perfection. There was no meat in the Hot and Sour Soup, making it vegetarian-friendly. In fact, vegetarians can always choose tofu or smoked tofu as a protein option in any dish which provides a choice. The service was great. The young waiter was polite, smart, and observant. He was multitasking but didn’t miss any gesture from each table. With a smiling face and attentive eyes, he seemed to run the place as if it were his own home. All these elements, combined with the nostalgic paintings on the wall, the old-style furnishings, and the warm ambiance, make this restaurant a place one wants to return to again and again, whether alone or with friends or family. It is a place where you can find not only great food but also peace, love, and life. Last but not least, being steps away from the gorgeous Venice Beach, the location is unbeatable. Nothing compares to a joyful stroll along the beach to appreciate the beautiful Pacific sunset after a fulfilling dinner.

The food was good and the dessert was also delicious. The coconut shrimp appetizer is a must try. The Pho was okay and could be more authentic. The egg roll was also good. The restaurant added a 15% service charge, which I wish they just let customers tip instead of a mandatory charge. Overall, the food was good.

Had been on my list to try for a while and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend the Tom yum noodle soup :) definitely satisfied the craving I had been having. I used to work at a Thai restaurant for 5 years and it took me right back

Another hidden gem. The food was tasty, portions large, prices reasonable. We got papaya salad which had a unique smell but tasted good. Spicy beef salad had extra tender meat and was flavorful. Green curry was rich in coconut which was an acquired taste but we liked it. And the pad thai was normal and delicious.

Service was great. The outdoor patio was really nice place to sit. The food was good and they have good lunch specials.

This is place is awesome. I went with friends after another event and it was an unexpected great restaurant experience. when i already though my evening came to an end. ALL of the dishes are so yummy and I it is a delighting tasting experience. I would recommend family style dining to try as many dishes as possible. The cocktails are all very unique and as with the food they are a pleasurable tasting experience. Indescribable! I will definitely be back...

Wallflower takes overpriced to a whole new level for Venice. We’re used to the high prices here but for the most part you’re getting really great food and/or a large portion. The portions here are actually insultingly small for the prices. The food is good, completely forgettable. We have had many comparable dishes in the area for 1/2 or even 1/3 the price. $20 cocktails aren’t uncommon here either of course, but these were just fine. If you want an amazing $20 cocktail - which, for $20 it better be amazing - go to Si Mon a few minutes away. Sure, the ambience is nice. It’s not enough to make the high spend worth it. There are so many better restaurants in Venice, skip Wallflower.

I came to Simpang for the first time on Wednesday this week and returned on Friday! That says a lot! What a gem of a place! Great quality food that is reasonably priced, amazing flavors, super cute decor, everything is spotless and the staff is professional and friendly. You can’t ask for more! You gained a new regular customer. I’ll be back again soon to try more of your wonderful food 💛

Gem of a place! Fantastic customer service, pleasant ambiance, and good food. The menu is really well labeled for allergens and the staff is very attentive and listens well to customers' orders. The sauce with the branzino was a little cold by the time it made it's way to me, but otherwise quite good, very flavorful.

My coworker and I love ordering from them. It's always hot, the veggies are fresh and crunchy and the white meat chicken they use in their dishes is nice and juicy 🥦🧅🌶

I’m not usually one to leave reviews but just save yourself some trouble and don’t go here. I placed an order for takeout on the website. The meat for my beef chow mein was raw, I called they said something about the meat supplier and that he can give me a new one tomorrow because they were now closed. I came in today to get a refund (obviously I didn’t want another one) and the lady said she could only give me the menu price and not the online price because they have to pay a fee for that. I was charged the online price it doesn’t make sense to not give me the full amount. I left since I didn’t feel like arguing for a few bucks I just hope this doesn’t happen to other people they need to improve their customer service and food quality.

The staff was friendly today, July 6th. They put lots of powdered sugar on my fried Oreo. Priced at $8.75 for three fried Oreos. They charge $0.79 for each credit card transaction. Wide selection of additional offerings make this place a great family friendly stop for a quick bite. My order was ready within three minutes!

The chicken sandwich was good but the attendant had a nasty attitude, as if i was forcing him to serve me against his will.the owner of the place should look into his attendants customer service

I was driving by and decided to get something for lunch before my 2 jour drive. I ordered the 2 item combo, half fried rice and noodles with beef and broccoli and chop suey with shrimp (cabbage, vegetables and shrimp) this caught my eye because the shrimp were large 16 count shrimp almost prawn size. The food was tasty and generous portions. The dining area is small but clean. While I was there, several people ordered food to go. I can definitely see why. I will definitely return.

Styrofoam containers keep getting smaller & smaller! Then they “pack” it full so it makes you think you’re getting a good portion. They purposely haphazardly throw rice or chow mein (whatever you pick) in so that you get less of your “entree”, there is always noodles or rice underneath! Anything to cut costs & maximize profits smh
