    Fat Dragon really missed the mark with the strawberry sweet rice drink I tried at the Family Style food festival. It was honestly one of the worst drinks I have ever had. Instead of tasting sweet or refreshing, it came across like a strange alcohol seltzer with rice, except without the alcohol. I could not taste any strawberry at all, and it did not resemble the "sikhye" flavor it was supposed to have either. It ended up tasting like plain sparkling water with some rice mixed in, completely lacking in flavor. I want to believe my drink was just made incorrectly because it was such a letdown, but as it was, it did not work at all. I cannot speak on the food, but this particular drink was a big disappointment.

    Orange tofu.

    Not doubt one of my favorite Chinese place in Los Angeles. Orange tofu very original and delicious Fried rice very good Teas wonderful Portions are very generous and price is completely fair and not silver lake standards. Very excellent service and great space to seat down Good top 20 music I'm a neighbor so I definitely be back

    Orange tofu
    Tiffanie T.

    YUMM! I have been wanting to find a great Chinese spot that has good vegan options and I have found it!! I ordered the lo mien noodles, the orange tofu and the egg rolls and they all are delicious! Seriously, you can't go wrong here! It was ready for pick up within 20 mins of ordering, plenty of parking in the lot, friendly service, lots of space inside and suuuuper tasty food! I am already wanting to go back and try something else!

    Chow fun
    Julia F.

    Great food and even greater service!! Huge shoutout to Eric for helping me and my boyfriend modify our meals with our dietary restrictions. He was so helpful and patient. The food was great too!! I can only speak to the chicken chow fun, but it was delish. Vibe in there is very casual. Parking is easy in that strip mall. Will return!

    Kung Pao chicken, beef chow fun, pan fried noodle.

    Best place for that orange chicken + beef & broccoli fix! The servers are chill and nice. Great lad back vibe without feeling rushed to leave.

    OG Chinese takeout box + Lo Mein
    Pamela P.

    Tonight I was craving lo mein, but not in the usual plastic black bottom container with the clear top. I really wanted the OG Chinese takeout box (like in the movies!). I hadn't seen those boxes in maybe 10 years. I ordered lo mein from Fat dragon for the first time and voila... old fashioned takeout box!!! The lo mein is DELICIOUS! Great veggies with Chinese broccoli. The noodles aren't too greasy. I found my new go-to Chinese spot!

    Shrimp fried rice

    Ordered the shrimp fried rice, but this literally looks like white rice tossed in egg yolks. I've never seen fried rice like this, they basically sold me white rice for $16! I definitely wouldn't order this again. I've also had their orange chicken a few times, and the chicken is always dry with little sauce.

    Calamari & hot tea.

We were able to order in the line, and got our food within 10 minutes once we finally sat down. I tried their handmade clam kalgusku soup and beef bulgogi. Both portions were generous. The kalguksu was incredible comforting, with chewy, long, freshly made noodles in a rich, savory broth that was packed with clams. The beef bulgogi was also delicious. It came with a side of salad and rice. The bulgogi was tender, well-merinated, and paired well together with the sides.

The bossam was amazing! The best we've tasted. We all loved the perilla seed kalguksu due to its taste and also bc it's so healthy for you. The owner came by to check how we liked the galbi kalguksu since it was a newly created dish and we told her that it was delicious, seasoned just right. Before the meal, as they brought out the side dishes, they brought out barley rice with denjang on top to mix with yeol-moo kimchi. That was a special touch. We absolutely loved the food there. I saved the info so that we can return when we visit Koreatown again in the near future. Highly recommend this place to anyone who craves exceptional Korean food.

Got their signature Yuzu Shio which was about $10 (normally $19.50!!), as well as their Afuri Roll which the server recommended ($23). The ramen rather had a small portion, but was balanced and pretty good - and the broth was definitely on the lighter tasting side, good for people who wants a cleaner taste. I ended up using chili oil on the side to spice things up. The Afuri Roll wasn't anything special, and a bit on the dry side but it had a nice variety of different fish inside. Overall, considering all the other competitive ramen joints in the area that have a more competitive price/portion/variety, I'm not sure if I'd give this place another go given the price. Great vibes though!

Once step inside, the decoration, the vibe totally changed. It's a dark hue with humbling yet elegant setting with a bar table and I almost felt like a dining in the cave ambiance.

We ended up settling with Creamy Crab Gratin, mentai cream pasta, the Pescatore Bianca (seafood spaghetti), and Tarako Spaghetti (Cod roe and squid garlic butter sauce). -Crab Gratin is really creamy and cheesy. I just didn't quite get why there are a few pieces of penne pasta inside. But overall tasted good! -All pasta comes with bread and salad. The salad is really fresh and serve mostly lettuce and cherry tomato, which is how I like it. The dressing is not the ranch creamy kind, more cloudy vinaigrette based, also to my liking. -Seafood spaghetti came with a variety of seafood, shrimp, squid ring, mussels, clams, etc. The portion is huge. -Mentai cream pasta: delicious! I think if I order uni pasta, it'll be the same cream base sauce but with uni and $6 bucks more. I'm happy with my choice. The whole dish is consistent, creamy with a slight kick from the mentai, slices of mushrooms and shredded seaweeds on the top. Delish! -Tarako Spaghetti: I took a small bite and appreciated the strong taste of garlic butter in the sauce. -All 3 pasta are served with the thin spaghetti like angel hair. Service is ok, we asked for water refill and the response was polite. Dirty dishes were taken away timely. If I had more time, I would definitely come back for a second visit. A place like this deserves to be in a more upscale block on the street. Btw, parking inside the plaza is not free even though it's just a strip mall. Expect about $8 bucks for dinner parking. It's gated entrance. If you get lucky, you can park on the street and pay the meter.
