Parking can be a bear, but there are lots for a fee. It is safe and fun. Yang Chow has been there forever and they have the best fried rice and soup. They just don't serve bad food. The prices are fair and the place is comfortable and not usually crowded. It is a great place to take friends from out of town and it is kid friendly. The service is so kind and nice. They never rush you, but get your food out fast. We always get a bunch for the table and share. Their Sizzling Platter with Scallops is one of our favorited dishes and their Szechuan Chicken is so good. Their Pan Fried Dumplings and their spring rolls are a must. Have a great time in Chinatown.

Came here after a long day of walking along hollywood and i am so happy we did. I wasnt too sure of…read morewhat to expect, but the interior was so beautifully done with a mix of a subway/ speakeasy vibe and perfect lighting for any occasion. It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

Anything you can eat you any night you don't have to cook is usually a great night out. This evening was no exception. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. Positive energy, drinks filled and smile that felt genuine. The ambiance of the restaurant was bar like, but with adequate seating for dining in. Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

The braised pork belly was so incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth, and paired with the pickled carrots and cucumbers tucked into that steamed bao bun - so juicy. We also got the scallion pancakes which were crispy, chewy, and came with a soy ginger dipping sauce. The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well. The noodles were a bit on the tougher side, which is kind of expected with this style, but the flavors were solid overall. But do NOT sleep on dessert. I had to order the deep fried bao bun with ice cream scoop inside and it was delicious. Absolutely worth saving room for if you're looking to end your meal off with a sweet treat! Parking is easy with plenty of street parking nearby. Love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating - the patio outside is perfect for bigger groups at night, and the inside has its own aesthetic vibe that's equally great. Great service, good vibes, and delicious food. I'll be coming back!

It's a very small (but super aesthetically cute) spot. There is a tiny parking area (I believe 3 spots) but we found street parking on temple. Menu is small and everything sounded great. (I learned they used to be a food pop up/cart, so makes sense!) You order at the counter and then pick a spot. The dining room inside is small with a handful of tables, but they also had many tables outside on their patio and alongside Reno street. I loved the photos of the family of the creators sprinkles through the dining room. Food was yummy. I had no expectations and I enjoyed it. The wings were nice and crunchy with tender chicken inside. Beef noodles were great, too. My only tiny qualm was staff, tho helpful, all looked very serious and I saw no smiles. It was a weird contrast to the charming spot.

The fish was tender, sauce yummy, veggies fresh! It was excellently prepared. Husband and Wife beef and tripe slices was another outstanding dish. It was so good I had to order more rice to eat with it therefore happily broke my diet again. Steamd eggplant with pickled condiment on top tended to be on the salty side, it was soft and tasty. I loved it! Service was lukewarm at best. The girl performed her service in a convincingly nonchalant way. But at least I got lemon infused water refilled twice. :) Well decorated with Chinese cultural elements. Very spacious, clean and peaceful ambience. We had a lovely time and will return.

Holy smokes! Longest review I've ever written, but everything was so spectacular I can't shut up…read moreabout it. firstborn may be the best restaurant experience for the most affordable price EVER in LA. Where to begin? How about $5 parking next door at LA Sorted? Already off to a fantastic start. We were greeted by an incredibly friendly hostess who remembered I'd reserved a patio table last month. But since Los Angeles has apparently transformed into a horrifyingly humid swamp, she offered us an indoor table instead. We were very grateful because the AC was glorious. The inside is gorgeous: calming colors, a beautiful hand-painted mural, and perfect lighting that transitions from natural light to warm, romantic evening light without making you feel like you're eating in a bingo hall. The drinks were fantastic, too. My wife loved the kombucha mocktail, while I had the Hojicha Orange Milk Punch with hojicha, orange cordial and dark chocolate, clarified with yogurt. It tasted like a sophisticated Creamsicle with a hint of chocolate. SO good. Now for the food. The menu is prix fixe: $68 for four courses. That is absurdly affordable in this town, where it's increasingly easy to spend $60 on a branzino or $75+ on a steak alone. firstborn draws on Chinese flavors and influences, but the food was unlike anything we'd experienced before. The combinations were creative without being gimmicky, and ingredients I wouldn't normally get excited about became some of the most memorable things we ate. First course: Weiser Brilliant & Bonny melons with chilled leeks, lemon cucumber, soy-almond vinaigrette and lovage, plus tartare of raw and roasted tomato with smoked trout roe, ebony rose plum and fig leaf. I don't even particularly love melon, but that dish was unbelievably flavorful. The tomato was equally spectacular. Two familiar ingredients transformed into dishes that were anything but ordinary. Second course: wild mushroom ragù with tofu gnudi, marinated eggplant and spring garlic, plus butter-poached prawns with corn, vadouvan and pattypan squash. I had no idea what tofu gnudi was, and as someone who isn't a huge tofu person, I wasn't expecting much. Man oh man, was I wrong. They were outstanding. There were four and I could easily have eaten 10 more. The prawns were equally out of this world, with perfectly cooked shrimp, baby corn, squash and a sauce with an unexpected peppery kick. Third course: local cod and short rib. The cod was delicate, moist and perfectly cooked. Then came the short rib. My wife proclaimed it the best piece of red meat she has ever eaten, and I understood why. It had a beautiful sear while retaining real texture and consistency--tender without becoming soft and stringy. We asked our waiter how they accomplished it, and he explained that the preparation begins well in advance. If I'm remembering correctly, something like 52 hours went into producing that extraordinary piece of meat. By dessert, we were thoroughly stuffed. We had roasted strawberry with lemongrass and cashew butter, and sweet corn sabayon with black sesame, blueberry and butter mochi. Both were outrageously good. Then our waiter convinced us we also needed the Ogen melon with cucumber snow and honey mousse. Melon. Again. I've already established that melon isn't exactly my favorite thing, yet somehow firstborn made it spectacular twice in one meal. All three desserts were fantastic. And the service deserves its own shout-out. Our server knew every detail of a remarkably complex menu, explained the dishes without turning dinner into a lecture, and gave terrific recommendations. The entire staff was professional, knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic. The pacing was perfect: never rushed, never waiting around. And may I remind you: $68. Four courses. In Los Angeles. I was already plotting our return by the second course. We actually decided we're coming back for my birthday. When you've made that decision before you're even halfway through dinner, you're doing something very, very right. Extraordinary food. Creative cooking. Warm, polished service. Beautiful room. And an almost ridiculous value. Get your reservation at firstborn ASAP before I feel compelled to gatekeep!
