The…read moreservice was awesome the little lady was super nice and friendly I got there as soon as they opened and everything was fresh on the line and they had a variety of selections. I went with double chowmein not really a fried rice kinda guy but back to the selections I went with their pepper chicken and I got my chihuahua yes my chihuahua teriyaki chicken no sauce of course and the lady was kind enough to chop it into smaller pieces and that's a W for me! the taste, temperature, texture of everything was on point. The establishment was really clean and stocked and I like that. Definitely give a try not everyone would have the same taste buds but the quality is one of the best in all of Los Angeles and the service is great too! I will be coming back again if I'm ever around commerce.

I've…read moreseen social media influencers rave about it, and several people in my personal life have recommended it too. All I can say is the hype is real. My crew and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was very busy, we were seated fairly quickly. There were four of us, and here's what we ordered: chicken fried rice, Shanghai-style chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and juicy pork dumplings. Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. I can't wait to come back and try more.

my friend and i stopped by here for lunch…read more - the inside was nice and we got seated right away - we got the chive & pork dumplings and the spicy wontons (w/ pork & shrimp). the dumplings (4.3/5) was yummy and flavorful, our favorite out of the two dishes. the spicy wontons (4.1/5) weren't that spicy but it was also flavorful with the shrimp and pork combo. we did use the spicy sauce from the wontons as a dip for our dumplings and it made it taste yummier. - although the food was yummy, the service was slow. it took a while for them to not only ask for our orders but it took a long time (~30 minutes) for our food to come out. the table that ordered after us got their food before us and they had a bigger party...the servers that were cleaning the tables even looked over at our table and saw that we didn't get our food yet. we got our wontons first and then ~10 minutes got our wontons which made the overall service very slow. overall, this was a decent place to try out during lunchtime.

Theres a to go area and also a seating area that's pretty good to fit maybe 15 parties. Parking can be a bit difficult since it's a small plaza. Food: Eggplant 8/10: this is always my go to dish here. The flavor is on point and it's great w the porridge. Only downside is that the skin of the eggplant can be hard sometimes so I peel it off and just eat the inside. But the flavor is def there for me. Mapo tofu 7/10 your basic mapo tofu. Minimal numbing spice to it which I like. Tomato egg 8/10: another great comfort food. Flavor is good but can be a bit more tomato-ey maybe a bit more ketchup to bump it up a notch? But I still enjoyed it. Braised pork with egg/ 7/10: they can def braise it more so that the meat is a bit softer, but again I still enjoy the flavor. Overall I find myself coming back, maybe bc it reminds me of my childhood I would come here w my parents. Nostalgic vibes lol. FYI: they automatically charge for porridge/rice if u sit down to eat there. $3 a person.

We have never had bad service, not sure if it was meant to be passed on to the younger generation that now runs the place, but always welcoming always smiling. This is a middle of the road good old Chinese American food spot. I mean old school. Same recipes, still serving egg drop soul and crispy fried noodles with mustard/ketchup before your meal, and complimentary Tea. That being said, if you grew up eating this style of american chinese food you will love it. This is def not Panda Express personal servings, its family style dining with plates to share. Our usual order is Kung Pao chicken, mongolian beef and chicken fried rice. Their sauces are old school, very runny and doesnt stick to the protein very well. I pass on the orange chicken, orange sauce is super sweet but lacks kick. Also the chicken is never coated properly in the sauce, just lightly tossed. Again very Mid. Not bad, not the best. Best around the area yes.

I loved how customizable the bowls are because you can switch out your proteins and sides. Everything was bomb, the steak was really flavorful and not dry at all! Also the eggplants hit the spot cause I was craving it, has slightly sweet notes and pairs really nicely with the garlic rice. Side salad was great too. I can't wait to come back again. My friend got the drunken noodles and they have three spice levels. She got the middle spicy and that one packed a punch for me, abit too spicy for my liking but she said she wants to try the Thai spicy (highest level) next time.

I recently ate at Yang Chow in Pasadena, so I was pleasantly surprised that my coworkers wanted to…read morego to the original location in Chinatown. We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. Overall, both restaurants in Chinatown and Pasadena provide great food quality. The ambience was cozy with dim lighting. Our round table had a wooden rotating tray. They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave. The kung pao chicken was very tasty with a good amount of spice. I noticed that the slippery shrimp didn't taste as spicy as the portion from Pasadena. Reviews say that the spice is adjustable. Regardless. it tasted great as it came right off the pan. The pork fried rice was delicious with a savory flavor that didn't seem overpowering. I thought the juicy steamed dumplings were the weakest dish out of our whole order. There wasn't enough flavor and heat from the broth. I didn't try much of the eggplants, but they tasted adequate for me.

Was craving beef noodle soup the other day so I decided to try it from here. Called in my order and…read morepicked it up within about 20 minutes which was nice and easy. I ordered the house special beef noodle soup, which they're known for. The portion size is solid with a lot of noodles, plus bok choy, tender beef, and tendons. The broth is on the lighter side, which some people might like, but for me it felt like it was missing a bit of depth. One thing I didn't like is they don't include pickled vegetables. I feel like that should be standard with beef noodle soup, even just a small portion helps bring everything together. Instead they charge extra for it, which was kind of a letdown. Overall it did satisfy my craving, but it didn't really have me wanting to come back right away.

The beef is thick yet somehow tender, and the sauce is perfectly glazed over the meat. 2) I also love the seafood chow mein ($15.95)! When trying a bite, make sure to get both soft and crunchy parts of the noodle haha, changing the texture makes a difference in the overall taste!

There's a new menu now, and I think the owners may have changed because although the signage still…read moresays Delicious Food Corner, the menu says Tasty Spot Cafe. Their new breakfast special includes congee, a dim sum item, a side, and a drink. I do like that there are now more options for the breakfast sides. Unfortunately, the congee tastes different now. This used to be my favorite spot for pork and black egg congee, but my last order was watery and bland instead of thick and flavorful like before. I did enjoy the pork siumai and shrimp spring roll from the dim sum selection. I also tried the pineapple bun, but I expected it to be softer and more moist. The portion was also pretty small. I like that most of their drinks can be ordered unsweetened, but they only offer Sweet'N Low instead of Stevia or Splenda. I also recently tried the kung pao chicken and didn't enjoy it. The sauce didn't taste like traditional kung pao sauce, and the dish had very few vegetables and mostly onions. It's unfortunate because the food quality and flavor don't seem as good as they used to be.
