Was trying to find a place for lunch on a random weekday. This place is excellent. Give the small hole in the wall vibe but inside is pretty spacious and clean. Staff is friendly and the food is excellent. I will say parking can be difficult but that shouldn’t surprise anyone in the area. Small underground lot if you can’t find anything upstairs Had the braised beef plate. Big portions, tasty and well braised beef. Veggies on the side were on the saltier side for my liking, but overall I’d get it again. Got the beef noodle soup as well. I thought the broth could be a littler more “rich”, on the lighter side than I usually like it. Not pictured but also tried the pork spare rib noodle soup. The spare ribs were tasty and fell off the bone. Overall enjoyed the food and staff. Would come back again to try some other dishes like the braised pork

Tried out this little place for dinner and it wasn’t too busy and we were able to be seated right away. This spot is super low key casual and feels like eating at your aunt’s home (especially the door to the second dining area). The servers were kind enough to bring us water with large cups so you don’t have to keep pouring/filling. FOOD: We ordered the Braised Pork Rice dish with peppers and Braised Beef Noodles soup. I will say that the flavors were not as salty as other places I’ve had, but flavors were not as strong as I’d have liked. - The beef chunks in the noodle soup were on the tough side but the noodles were soft and soup was pretty tasty. - The pork cubes with rice was pretty tasty as well. The dish came with a small bowl of soup. Parking: The lot on site is shared with other establishments so during rush hour it can get pretty packed. But there is an underground parking lot where more spaces can be found.

Zheng Shang Xian 蒸上鲜 offers reasonably priced Chinese food in a comfortable and inviting environment. In addition to the tasty dishes, diners can enjoy delightful Chinese music that enhances the atmosphere, creating a relaxing dining experience. The restaurant also serves refreshing icy lemon water, making it a refreshing stop for casual meals or group gatherings. Overall, the combination of delicious food, pleasant ambiance, and soothing music makes it a great choice for Chinese cuisine.

The flat noodle, fried croaker and steamed rice here is really good. The staff is super friendly offering a nice family environment. Highly recommend.

The cucumber salad is a must-try—fresh, with a little spicy kick and the perfect crunch. The beef wrap was a solid 10/10: not too flaky, packed with flavorful fillings, and reminiscent of char siu. The Sichuan zhajiang noodles had a great balance of flavors, and I loved the numbing aftertaste—though I wish it had a bit more spice. As for the braised beef soup, it was just okay. The meat was definitely tender and well-cooked, but the broth could use a little more salt to really bring out the flavors.

Good Alley has been on my list to try for quite awhile. A friend of mine came here last week and said you have to try it because it's like Din Tai Fung. My friends and I finally took the leap to try out Good Alley. So glad they just opened so people don't know about this place yet. But I am not going to keep this place because I want them to succeed. I love the fact that the condiments such as soy sauce, chili oil and black vinegar are on the table so you can make your sauce for the dumplings/xlb. They are a la carte restaurant/ family style which was perfect for us. The more people you have in your party you can try more dishes. For our items: Appetizer: Xi'an cold noodles (reminded me of dan dan noodles), Sliced Beef and Ox in chili oil Vegetables: Cauliflower dry pot Handmade Dumpling: Kurobuta pork with shrimp and chives Soup Dumpling: Kurobuta pork with crab meat Burgers: Cumin Lamb Chinese Burger and the A5 Wagyu Beef Chinese Burger Drinks: Saving space for dessert elsewhere so we just had ice water Dessert: Not much choices just a steam red beans bun (But we did not try it) The Highlights: The winner of all the dishes were both the dumplings (the soup dumpling had real crabs and was juicy and the handmade dumpling had a nice mouthful bite to them with fresh ingredients). We definitely enjoyed the Xian cold noodles (refreshing and memorable). Both Chinese burgers were excellent choices to try Roujiamo (buns for the burger-It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and holds the meat nicely). Our least favorite dishes were the Sliced Beef and Oxtail (bland and the only thing you can taste was the chili oil). My friend had to fix this dish by asking for sugar and adding more soy sauce. The dry cauliflower clay pot had sliced pork belly in there but the skin wasn't cooked down enough so it was hard. Service was very efficient and the food came out piping hot. The staff are constantly checking in on you and checking if you need anything. They are constantly clearing the empty plates and refilling our drinks. The staff at this restaurant are always checking so thank you for being organized and so efficient! Definitely recommend and would definitely come back. Tips: *Accepts Credit Cards *Restroom for customers. *Indoor seating only *They sell a variety of teas and boba type drinks *Same plaza as 888 but on the Shin-Sen-Gumi Ramen side with Cha Tra Mue (thai tea spot)/ Golden Delight #2 *Parking lot shared with other businesses Can be challenging on the weekend

The food is okay. Great price! Lunch special is $10 per dish.

Their food and price point are decent. But I am disappointed by their service.

Got their namesake. Normally not a fat noodles kinda' guy, but they do serve a purpose in soaking up oils. Taste-wise it's not bad! Their chilli oil I think is home made, but tends to be on the much more bitter side. Still not bad! Really nice decor.

Good stuff, lots of variety. Noodles were of course good, I got the tomato and eggs soup because that what my dad always got, and the three topping noodles. No complaints. Green beans were good too. My buddy I went with used to come here a lot pre pandemic and he says it's not as good. Even so, I was happy, and want to try other dishes on the menu, so I'll be back.

This was on par with the best Peking duck I've had in Beijing. Everything about this Peking Duck meal was impeccable, and the Black Fungus with Chinese Yam side dish paired very nicely with the main dish. The only thing that would have made this experience even more perfect would have been if they carved the duck at the table in front of us. But still, 5/5 stars.

Reasonable prices, yummy foods with beautiful presentation. Staffs were very helpful and quick to respond to questions and requests. Offered to replace clean dining plates when needed. All of us who went eat together agreed that we will definitely go back to eat here again.

The food is well seasoned and tasty. It’s on the heavier salty side with oil. For most people it will be spicy. We ordered the sauerkraut and it was a blend of savory and sour flavors. The pork came fried with rice puff/crackers that gave a nice crunch and texture without being too hard. The eggplant included century egg and was also quite salty. Everything was balanced out by the star, rice. The coconut balls were crispy on the outside and filled with coconut and sago and was not overly sweet. For the whole meal it was about ~$88 overall and leftovers were taken home.

Walked in on a weekend night. Place was clean and organized each dish came out at different timings. Overall experience was just okay not thing really special. Servers were okay too.. only thing I would recommend was the eggplant and century egg. Not sure if I’ll be back again. But if you can take on hard spice definitely check it out.

The Onion Oil Flavor Chicken is the most popular chicken here with a secretive sauce. The chicken is tender.

Bone-free chicken is good

One of my favorite Sichuan Pot in the area. They use plenty of food and sauce inside the broth. For the Fish fillet and Frog in Sichuan Mala Broth, it's the size for two or more people with many fish fillet and frogs inside the large pot. Though it's a little bit spicy, the proteins are pretty good with the fantastic taste. The staff told me that their boss asked them to add enough food to ensure customers' satisfaction. What a great experience of dining here. Attention to adjust the spicy level for any one of the pots. The tomato based hot pot is also a good choice as a non spicy option and might be too much if you are alone to be here.

I usually don't write reviews, but I had to share how amazing my recent meal was at this restaurant! I tried their special beef tripe hot pot and fish hot pot, they were hands down the best I've ever had! The brown sugar rice cake is a must-try and the best in LA, no doubt! If you're in the mood for incredible food, you gotta check this place out! You won’t regret!!!

To be honest, this is truly the most authentic Malatang I've ever had, not just in LA, but even in the United States! The flavor is really amazing, with rich seasonings that transport me back to Chengdu in an instant!!! Even the store clerk speaks the Chengdu dialect, how familiar is that?! Seeing fellow townsmen and tasting the flavors of my hometown is simply incredible! One word: AWESOME!!!! I highly recommend it!!!! No disappointments at all!!!!

Very authentic Malatang :) my husband said it’s the exact same malatang from his hometown in China . This is our first meal coming from Houston to LA for a trip . Very impressive

Food was delicious. I was a bit worried about the buns with sea cucumber in them, but those tasted great too. I would say it's a bit spicier than expected, so go with no spice if you are a bit sensitive. The meat pies and noodles I also enjoyed very much. I would definitely order the spicy cold beef appetizer, it had this light sweet crust too that was different than I've had. Pro tip: they do have crunchy chili oil that you need to request. They also do breakfast now, so I'll definitely try that next

I really enjoy coming to family owned businesses like this one. There's more than just Panda so stop by this local spot! Original recipes and very good food. I ordered the beef pies (4), cool chicken noodles and the shewed beef noodle soup. I'll be coming back for sure.

Our family and friends have been coming here for years. It’s been consistently good, reasonably priced and has plenty of parking in the back. It’s great for large groups to celebrate birthdays and Lunar New Year. Our server was like a beloved uncle and the service was excellent. The portions are large and there is always leftovers to take home. Our favorites include the walnut shrimp, stuffed tofu, diced green beans with Chinese sausage and mushrooms, beef chow fun and chicken lettuce wraps. They also have a bakery next door if you want to pick up dessert. Although it wasn’t crowded, they were doing some brisk take out business.

The must get things to try here would be black sesame and mixed fruit drink desserts. I haven't had too much of the other stuff, though I did eat the duck noodle soup before and it was pretty decent. Altogether, a good Canto dessert place! I'd come back!
