    Singapore noodles
    Deidre M.

    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.

    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!

    Kung pao chicken

    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

    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!

    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.

    Slippery shrimp, veggie lo mein, chicken fried rice
    Lizzette B.

    Would give it a four if it weren't for the service. Our waitress added the tip to the bill herself without our consent. We were a party of two. The food was delicious. We ordered the slippery shrimp, chicken fried rice, vegetable lo mein. Fresh and tasty. The restaurant was simple, very clean and had a big screen playing the World Cup which was entertaining.

    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.

    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.

    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%.

    Shrimp Fried Rice 虾炒饭
    Zar P.

    We stopped by before exploring Chinatown. It wasn't busy and there was only one other party in the restaurant. Food was pretty good but nothing really stood out to me. We got the chicken with mixed vegetables, shrimp fried rice, and crispy shrimp with bok choy toast. Fried rice was good, standard fried rice. The chicken dish was fine. Was excited to try the toast after seeing other people's pictures. It was alright, they did not sift the oil long enough so it was pretty oily. Overall, I think this is more 3.5/5 but I rounded it up.

    How many servings does a tray of food provide (i.e. beef lo mein)?

    Depending on your appetite, it's at least 2 servings. If you have another dish of protein or veggies, then it serves between 3 - 4.

    Hi , my friends and I went there a while ago and loved it. We were happily surprised by the tea that was served there and I was wondering what kind of tea it was?

    OOLONG TEA.

    Do they offer vegetarian options?

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

The sea urchins one is creamy and VERY RICH. The cream sauce bend in really well with the sea urchins. But definitely not something you would order if you are on a weaker stomach. The duck udon is flavorful with plenty of meat. The soup pair perfectly with the udon as well. There was a line outside before it opened. But not too bad.

Udon noodles were good, but it was not excellent. It did have light chewy texture. BUT in comparison to Meiji Seimen, it fell short, really short! I was disappointed. BEEF BOWL It was delicious! Beef was tender and moist and loved the caramelized onion too. Rice was delicious too, not dry nor mushy. Served with pickled red ginger. A very satisfying bowl. Sat at the bar, so watched them make udon from scratch, which was nice. WAIT LIST There was a line when I got there, just as it opened. It wasn't long, but everyone wrote their name down on a wait list. There's a sheet of paper placed on the table outside. Please write your name down ASAP, as that will help in making sure that you will grab a seat. Also, the lines are disorganized too, so it's best to write down your name, so no one cuts in front of you. It is a small restaurant. Limited seats. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was okay. Everyone got in the restaurant in the order they came in. Service was quick and there were no delays in taking orders. The server came by quickly and dropped off the check as she saw that I was nearly finished with my meal. PARKING Parked at Joe's Autoparks. It was $15! I did not know until after I paid the ticket. Very difficult to find parking in this area, so not many options unless you want to walk really far, back to your car in 90 degree heat. There was another parking garage next to Joe's, but the price was the same! Would I come back again? Not sure. Given that the udon wasn't what I expected, it may be my last time here. Also, parking sucks.

They handed out menus and took your order when you were close to the front. Once seated inside, they welcomed you with their signature banchan dishes: the nutty boribap (보리밥), which tastes great on its own but even better with their yeolmu kimchi (radish water kimchi). There's also their tasty radish kimchi and napa kimchi. Throughout the meal, they replenished our banchan multiple times without us asking. We tried two of the new items: Galbi Kalguksu: A delicious, deep-flavored bone broth with knife-cut noodles, shredded fried egg, sliced radish, and scallions. The meat fell off the bone, and I loved the broth, though my husband thought it was a little on the saltier side. Perilla Oil Makguksu: Cold buckwheat noodles in perilla oil. Mixed with sliced shiitake mushrooms, shredded perilla leaf, gim (seaweed), sesame seeds, and scallions. It's a deliciously light refreshing dish if you don't want the heavy knife-cut noodle dishes. Last, I ordered the Non-spicy Seafood Kalguksu. It comes with a anchovy broth with a lot of seafood flavors. It's a lighter broth than the galbi but still rich in flavor. It came with clams, mussels, shrimps and 1/2 crab. There was also sliced pumpkin and zucchini. Everything tasted great. Their servers were very attentive and generous with replenishing the side dishes, and overall it was a wonderful experience.

We came as a group of 9 and thankfully, they allow for reservations if you are a group of 8 or bigger. Take note! Especially in this LA peak heat. We checked in with the valet and they gave us menus as we waited about 15/20 minutes for the table to be ready. You will need to order before you are seated and you cannot order anymore food once you are seated, given how popular they are, this makes plenty sense. We were seated inside with cooling AC and the restaurant is quite large inside! It could certainly have several parties in there. Soon, our galbi kalguksu, XL chicken kalguksu, tteokbeokki and XL pork jowl and pork belly bossam showed up. Everything was extra delicious and fresh. The soups in both the galbi and chicken kalguksus were amazing and the hand pulled noodles were divine. We drank and ate everything up quickly. The tteokbeokki was delicious, but too spicy so the rest of the party was able to enjoy it. The bossam was all so tender and had just enough napa and garlic to go with it along with the many unique sauces we could dip all the meats in. Everyone left feeling happy and it satisfied everyone's palates.

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.

    This is a review only of their happy hour specifically, not of their ramen, which I have not tried…read moreand can't speak to the quality of. I actually became aware of the existence of this restaurant *because* they had a happy hour sign out in front, advertising, among other things, $4 salmon poke "tacos" (which was definitely actually a tostada, but still), and $3 nigori sake to go with it, which sounded pretty bomb - when I passed by the sign on my way to an event at Death & Co nearby, I took note of it but wasn't interested in food. However, when I left that event, an event I thought was going to provide a lot more food than it actually did, I absolutely *was* interested in food, and remembered that the sign advertised not only a traditional happy hour (open until 6 weekdays, 2:30-5:30 Saturday/Sunday), but also the same prices during a reverse happy hour (8 to close weekdays, 9 to close on the weekend). Given it was, at that moment, just after 8 on a Wednesday, I knew exactly where I was going to get the second half of my dinner from. Funny enough, I will say, the salmon poke that drew me in, was just... good. Don't get me wrong, if I were offered them for free, I'd eat at *least* a dozen. They were quite tasty - also like 2 bites worth of food (so eating a dozen of them would not be remotely difficult to do.) Salmon poke is wonderful, but if I wanted poke, I'd go find a poke place - even $4 felt a bit pricey for the size (they're $6 when it isn't happy hour), so I'm glad I decided to also try their karaage. Their karaage is BOMB - some of the best I've had, honestly. $7 for a 4-piece order of their karaage, by contrast, feels like a very reasonable price, and $5 (during happy hour) an absolute steal. Great karaage, great sauce, super fulfilling. The happy hour on karaage would be enough of a draw by itself - but separate from that, so would the $3 happy hour on sake, including both a regular house cold sake and a nigori. As you can see from the picture, they also intentionally overpour their sake, which is not only a very pretty presentation, but also an impressive amount of sake for $3 (heck, for DTLA, a pretty impressive amount of sake even at their normal $5 price). They also have $6 happy hour shochu/sake/juice cocktails that looked pretty good, though I didn't try one. Service was great, too - sometimes you can tell a restaurant is less excited to serve someone who clearly just came in for a drink and a snack, but that was not my experience here. Verdict is, I definitely want to come back and try their ramen sometime, but I would definitely make sure to do it either before or after their prime dinner hour, to take advantage of happy hour pricing. (And I would definitely get more of that karaage as a side. I will probably also make a point to do so as a snack, subsequent to any future events I go to in the area that end around 8 on a weekday, as well, for as long as that happy hour remains such a draw, price-wise.)

    Food (3/5): Pretty ok ramen! You come to Tsujita Artisan Noodle in Arts District for the Tsukemen…read more Their tsukemen is creamy with deep umami flavor. Their noodles have a bounciness and chewiness that hold the broth you dip your noodles in. I do wish the broth was hotter because the noodles are traditionally served cold. I've come here for their Naruto collaboration and to try their traditional ramen where their noodles come with the broth and it tastes significantly different than their tsukemen which I didn't have a liking to. It was missing some oomph that not only differentiates this ramen from others I've tasted before but also gets people to keep coming. Service (5/5): Quick service! Every time I've been there hasn't been a wait. Price (4/5): To compensate for taste I do think the price needs to be lowered a bit. The tsukemen to me was definitely worth it. Ambiance (4/5): Cute little modern shop. It won't fit many big parties but it is perfect for duos.

    Daikokuya is a long time staple of Little Tokyo, whenever I'm in town on business or vacation I…read moremake a point to visit. Their ramen noodles are always cooked perfectly (I like them a little firm) and their broths are super flavorful, their eggs cooked perfectly. I usually enjoy their spicy or black garlic broths which add extra kicks. Daikokuya can be busy throughout the day, but there servers and kitchen staff work hard to turn around orders and tables relatively quickly. Anytime is a good time for ramen from Daikokuya.

    Lucked out with not a huge wait and got to come here with a group of friends. Daikokuya is located…read moreon the perimeter of the Little Tokyo plaza and on a busy strip against other very popular ramen places. To be clear, you really can't go wrong with any of the restaurants on this street and I recommend just going with whichever one has the shortest wait when you show up. Thankfully we only had to wait about 20 minutes and got a table inside. There were 6 of us and they made us squeeze into a booth built for 4 which was a little annoying but we made it work. I ordered their signature Daikoku Ramen which was very flavorful and filling, just wish there had been more meat! My husband got the poke bowl with salmon and tuna which is a great dish for those on the protein grind. Service was mixed, they brought some dishes out immediately and then others in our group had to wait longer to get their food. Overall food was tasty and I would go back.
