    Vegetarian Egg Rolls (4) 素春卷
    Olivia T.

    First off, AI let me down on this one. I came here expecting it to hit the mark for some solid kung pao chicken and mu shu pork after what I thought was a thorough search for the best Chinese food in Chinatown. That was my first mistake -- they don't even serve mu shu pork. That one's on me for not checking the menu first. I ended up getting my kung pao chicken and settled for the Mongolian beef, and veggie egg rolls. The Mongolian beef I could definitely pass on. The kung pao chicken was good at first, but somehow lost its flavor as the meal went on. The egg rolls were just okay. Nice and crispy on the outside, but too mushy on the inside for my liking. I was also pretty surprised (and a lot sad) that they didn't have hot mustard. The tea was really good though! Service was fine. The server was attentive, just clearly busy keeping up with all the takeout orders coming through. Ambience is definitely on the lower side here, so don't come expecting a nicer Chinese restaurant. It leans more Santa Ana burger joint vibes. That said, everything felt clean and they were pumping out a ton of takeout orders while we were there, so clearly they're doing something right. Overall, it just didn't hit for me, and I don't see myself coming back.

    The food is delicious, even for take-out! My friend and I were craving Chinese food late at night and we saw this on DoorDash. It honestly exceeded our expectations. The to-go portions were hefty. We ordered shrimp fried rice, pan fried dumplings, and orange chicken. Everything was so tasty and still steaming hot when it arrived to us. Do not skip out on the shrimp fried rice. You can taste the freshness of the GIANT shrimp they use. The orange chicken was sweet and tangy, and the chicken was not as breaded. The dumplings came with a delicious side of dipping sauce and were so juicy on the inside. I think this might be one of my favorite Chinese food spots in Chinatown!

    This was the absolute perfect Friday night delivery order! Blown away how delicious and freshly prepared this food was! On a whim I ordered one beef and broccoli, one yang fried rice, and one Singapore noodle. The portions are very generous and the ingredients, especially the meat and the shrimp was very well cooked and high-quality. Really appreciate what I received yesterday and will be absolutely coming back in person and ordering for pick up in the future. I love to support local business!

    A big hole in the wall at the entrance of Chinatown on Broadway street. Parking can be either free street parking (can be tough to find one nearby) or parking lot or garage nearby for a fee. For me, this is more of American Chinese rather than Chinese Chinese foods. BUT very tasty and flavorful for sure. Portion is nicely bigger than expected, prices wise-okey, not bad. The place spacious, clean and plenty of food dishes hanging on the walls with big TV for news/show/movie. Staff are nice and friendly. Menu is quite big selection to choose from. Easy ordered and quite fast for turnaround. Overall not bad and better than I expected. They open late into the night since got out a show nearby and most restaurants are closed around 8:30-9pm and we came around 9:30pm so not bad and thank you.

    Kung pao chicken
    Samantha L.

    We were driving through LA and were craving chicken food. I always look up reviews first and this place had lots of them! We ordered a few dishes to share from; short ribs, beef chow mein, Kung pao chicken, and salt and pepper shrimp (not in photos), and everything was delicious! The service was great, server was very kind. We will definitely come back if we are in the area. 5/5

    Support small business, LA Chinatown. Solid, simple, good Chinese food.

    We went straight for the affordable daily combos (in this economy...) which is the pork chop, crispy shrimp and garlic chicken wings--all served with fried rice. All were flavorful, with my favorite being the chicken wings followed very closely by the crispy shrimp. It's also shareable and can be eaten as "family style" but also as personal plate meals if you prefer. May I also suggest the garlic noodles (add protein if you wish) because that is also tasty. The service is appropriately friendly (not terribly chatty or over-the-top, which is fine by me) and you can feel that they are watching but it's just because they want to anticipate your needs (that's the vibe I got from it anyway). This is a simple restaurant, not terribly fancy, but it is a sit-down and can be a good spot for a simple celebration. It's a wonderful small business restaurant in LA Chinatown, so come support them.

    House Lo Mein, Crab Wonton, Cucumber Salad,  Shrimp Fried Rice, short ribs
    Angela J.

    Really decent option if your in the area. Came here on a Thursday and we were the only customers inside. It was very bright ( overhead lighting) which I'm not a huge fan of. Besides that everything was amazing. Honestly some of the best Lo mein I've ever had. Super fresh, nothing was greasy. Cucumber salad was an actual decent sized portion, not like those fancier places that just give you five slices of cucumber. Service was quick and friendly. Would def come back!

    What came out looked and tasted better than what this photo shows.

    A very surprising and rare find in Downtown LA. We found this place by chance after watching a late evening play at the Ahmanson Theater. At 10:00 PM on a Sunday night, you know your dining options will be very slim. I was resigned to eating fast food, but fortunately Golden Tree came to the rescue. After entering, I noticed there were a fair amount of diners inside. A good sign. The gentleman came and took our order. We went with the Mongolian Beef dish, the Kung Pao chicken and shrimp, and also the beef noodle dish. Another good sign was that it took about 20 minutes for the food to get to us. Based on what I was seeing how the food was being served to the other diners, the food looked freshly prepared. All three dishes were absolutely amazing. I honestly couldn't tell if the food was really that good or was it because I was just that hungry. However, everyone in our party agreed that the food was amazing. Rest assured that I will be coming back here again soon.

    Chicken with broccoli
    Lenore N.

    Very busy Christmas night at Golden Tree. Not only were the tables full but a crowd of Door Dashers waiting for their pickups. There were seven of us so we had a wide variety of dishes including three vegetarian. All were excellent. The server seemed to be the only one on the floor but we were meeting friends and had a lot to talk about so a leisurely meal was just fine with us. The green beans were outstanding as was the garlic eggplant. The beef dish was tender and flavorful and we loved the chicken and broccoli. Reasonably priced, this was an excellent first time experience.

    Orange Chicken 陈皮鸡
    Walter H.

    This is a scoop and serve restaurant. The equivalent to a Chinese meat & three. I ordered the Combo A. Your choice of meat and either lo mein, fried rice or half and half. The lo mein was the best thing on the plate, the orange chicken was mid and the fried rice wasn't very fried. The customer service was good and I would give them another try, minus the rice.

    This is probably the best Chinese spots Ive been to in a while. Everything was hot and fresh, and most importantly NOT GREASY. Everything was a hit, though personally I would skip the crab wontons. Not because they were bad, but they are just something that I dont generally gravitate towards. The only "issue" (the reason why it isn't 5 stars) is because of the orange chicken. The flavor was great, but if you're expecting that lightly breaded and crispy exterior, this doesn't have that. It was more of a flash fry situation. Again, not bad, just not what we were expecting. Everything else, no notes. Nothing was overly salty or bland. It was just perfect. Service was quick enough, no frills as you would expect from a hole in the wall Chinese place. But food was even quicker. Will 100% be back

    Dmitry S.

    Friends and I were walking around China Town and decided to stop in. Food was absolutely delicious. The staff was efficient. Would recommend 1000%.

    OOLONG TEA.

    Do they offer vegetarian options?

    Yes! I do meatless Mondays. I had the mapo tofu, roasted eggplant, and vegetable chow mein.

    After having a sauna at Crystal Spa on Sunday evening, September 13th, I had dinner with my mom and…read moremy two brothers at Hang Ah Restaurant (항아리 바지락 칼국수). I think I've been coming here for a very, very long time--probably for about 20 years! I used to come here quite often back then. At some point, though, I stopped coming as much because the parking situation in this shopping center became so busy and chaotic that it was difficult to even get in from the entrance. Also, the last time I came here, maybe two years ago, the valet parking attendant was so rude that I didn't really feel like coming back. This time, since we were already in the area for the spa, we decided to stop by again. Back when I first started coming here, it was just a very small noodle restaurant. One thing they've kept all these years--and what I think is such a great touch--is that they still serve yeolmu kimchi and kkom-bori-bap (barley rice) as a complimentary side. The restaurant became incredibly popular over the years and eventually expanded into the neighboring space, so there are now many more tables than there used to be. Since it had been such a long time since my last visit, I noticed they had quite a few new menu items that weren't available before, including galbi-jjim (braised short ribs), samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup), and galbi noodle soup. One of my brothers and I ordered the perilla oil makguksu each, and it was absolutely delicious! It had such a rich, nutty flavor from the perilla oil, and it was one of those dishes that makes you think about it again later. In the past, I would always order the clam kalguksu whenever I came here, but this time I decided to try something different. My other brother ordered the clam kalguksu, and my mom had the dolsot (Hot stone) bibimbap. I tried a spoonful of my mom's dolsot bibimbap because I really like bibimbap too, and it was delicious as well. In the past, the wait here used to be incredibly long. You had to write your name and phone number by hand at the entrance, and then a staff member would come outside and call your name when your table was ready. This time, the system was different. We were told to simply wait in line, and she would take our orders outside. She said the wait would only be about 5-10 minutes, and she was absolutely right. While we were waiting in line outside, she handed us menus, took our orders, and then seated us at our table. The food came out quickly, the service was very friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. It turned out to be a very satisfying dinner. After coming back here again after such a long time, I completely understood why this place has been so popular for so many years. It was just as popular back then as it is now, and honestly, I can see why!

On top of that, the interior is clean, cute, and very well-kept. Parking is quite limited, though--even with valet service, it gets super congested. There's almost always a long line, as it seems like a must-try spot for anyone visiting LA. Because of that, getting a table is usually pretty tough, but we got so lucky last Sunday and were seated right away. The food was absolutely divine, and we left completely satisfied. Honestly, I almost wish fewer people knew about this place so I could come more often. They're just that good.

I do wish I'd tried the thicker noodles, but paying an extra $3 just to switch noodle styles felt a little ridiculous. We also tried the gyoza, which were good, but I wish they had come with a more traditional soy-based dipping sauce instead of already being dressed in chili oil. I'd definitely come back, especially to try the dipping ramen. I'd never had tsukemen before, and it sounded so good that I was already regretting not ordering it by the end of the meal.
