Colonel ClayJune 23, 2011Everybody knows there's no good Chinese in West LA but this place is sick! Try the duck, ask for extra sauce. The egg-rolls rock too, better than anywhere short of Monterey Park. Need more parking.
Ryan SMarch 22, 2014Jerry Seinfeld has said that the Seinfeld episode where they're waiting for a table in a Chinese restaurant is based on Jerry and Larry David's similar experience here.
Cheap Best HiddenJanuary 28, 2016The walnut shrimp and the ribs are life-changing. The crispy noodles that are usually free everywhere else aren’t free here. Order them. Read more
Thomas ColtonJune 26, 2015Traditional Chinese. They do a great "No Name Duck" or anything involving shrimp. Strong tropical cocktails make everything better.
Andrea DeLesDernierJune 21, 2012Will be eating Potstickers and watching a great show there next Wed 6/27 at 9pm. Two great singer-songwriters are in town, from Chicago Anna Fermin and from Santa Barbara Nicola Gordon.
The chipotle tofu is even yummier than the chicken because it's crispy but has the same sauce. Awesome!
Robert MurphyAugust 8, 2010Spicy Cilantro Shrimp and Tom Tom Chicken my favs topped off with a passion fruit margarita.
- Get the cold New York sesame noodles, but ask them to prepare them hot!
Try to get the waitress named bogie, she's awesome.
Jon KochOctober 27, 2011Maybe one day the music room waitress will actually notice we're here since we've been trying to flag her down for 40 minutes
- If you want to bring leftover soup home, ask them to bring the container to the table. If you have six servings left, they only give a half serving to take home!!
