    Scallion Pancakes
    Joshua S.

    Promptly seated within 5 minutes for a party of two on a Sunday evening at 6:30pm. Tables were clean, close together, and the ambience was quite lively. My table ordered the beef hui tou, shrimp shumai, zha jiang noodles, and the scallion pancakes, and a beer for around $65. Service was prompt, as we got all of our items within 10 minutes. Despite the decent service and reasonable prices, I wasn't particularly impressed by the food. While the food was filling and got the job done, I had hoped for more flavor with each bite! Most of the items we had could be described as perfectly "mid", as they were not bad -- but also nothing really worth revisiting. The one highlight of my visit were the scallion pancakes for $6, as they were quite light, slightly greasy, and the perfect mix of doughy and crispy. Both bathrooms were rather messy and many things were left unrestocked such as toilet seat covers, toilet paper, paper towels, and hand sanitizer, which was especially disappointing during peak dinner hours! I think that this restaurant fills its objective of keeping diners full at a reasonable price and decent speed, but I don't think that there is much to draw in repeat customers with the quality of food.

    How did I waste 6 years NOT coming here?!! We've been twice now in 2 months. The various dumplings, noodles, bao, etc have all been fantastic. The price to portion ratio is really one of the best in this part of town. The house made iced tea is great. They have a bunch of beers on tap. All the staff are truly next level hospitable. Friendly and attentive. Other businesses would do themselves a favor and come to Hui Tou Xiang and take notes!

    Great selection of Asian food! The food came out pretty good. The sauce is amazing and the customer service is great! There's a lot of seating inside!

    Gai lan - nice portion, cooked perfectly

    I'm half Chinese, and I've been craving some good Chinese soul food. Read about this place from Eater LA and it did not disappoint! They have a flagship restaurant in SGV which always bodes well, but this one was so convenient to Hollywood. Every dish was so rich in flavor with very large portions. We got several dishes to share at the table and we definitely had left overs. My favorite was the Hong Kong pork wontons in a clear broth with seaweed and cilantro - amazing flavor in the broth and perfectly thin wonton skin. Loved the vibe inside, parking was a bit tight on the street but we just found somewhere down the block. Would recommend and will be returning!

    Tomato and egg noodles

    Cute little spot with tasty dumplings and a full bar in Hollywood. My partner and I shared the egg and tomato noodles, cucumber salad, spicy pork dumplings, pork shu mai. It was more than enough food for us and we ended up taking a lot of leftovers home. Everything was seasoned to perfection. We weren't drinking that night but I saw they had some interesting cocktails. Loved the cute vibe inside too. On a Monday night when we walked in, we were able to get a seat at the bar immediately.

    I'm convinced Hui Tou Xiang is one of Hollywood's best-kept secrets for Chinese food. I've been here five times now, and they consistently deliver - every single visit has been excellent. Our go-to dishes are the cucumber salad (refreshing and perfectly crunchy), green scallion pancakes (especially good with the chili sauce), pork shumai (better than Din Tai Fung imo), and the spicy pork wontons. On our most recent visit, we tried the sesame noodles, and I've been daydreaming about them ever since. The staff is always friendly and attentive, the vibes inside are great, and there's a solid drink selection with cocktails, draft beer, and bottled options. And the price point? Outrageously reasonable, especially in this economy. Consistently delicious food, great service, and incredible value. Highly recommend!

    Great food, friendly staff, and quick service! I love the vibe of this shop and was so glad to find out that even though all the tables were taken we could order and eat at the bar. The he food was very fresh and tasted delicious! We will definitely be coming back for more soup dumplings and the beef soup!

    Spicy Pork Wonton / 紅油 - delicious
    Amber E.

    Eater 38 rated this spot as one of the top Chinese places in LA, and we were staying nearby, so stopped in for lunch. Service was SO friendly and welcoming. Owner was there, too. Appeared to be a lot of locals. We tried the cucumber salad (cold and crunchy), the Signature Hui Toi rectangular dumplings, half pork, half beef, and then the Spicy Pork Wonton, which were both really good. Might have to try the pork & leek pancakes, and some noodles next time. We'll be back!

    Liang Ban Noodles
    Isabel Y.

    Stopped here after enjoying a Chinese animated film at the Chinese Theater and had a blast enjoying a family style meal with a group of 4! It may not look like much on the outside, but this restaurant is a hidden gem with only a few tables and a bar that was full, but not overcrowded, the entire time we were there. The inside is gorgeous, with a disco ball style ceiling that bounces the various light sources in the space everywhere. In the back they have a cute neon sign that says "Always Thinking Bao You," and a juke box, which unfortunately no longer works. Our server was very accommodating to our table's orders that came in waves as the night developed and our hunger was satiated. My recommendation for a group is starting with the *scallion pancakes and pan fried potstickers with chicken and cabbage. Then move onto a classic order of *xiao long bao soup dumplings, *shrimp shumai, and spicy pork wontons. We finished off with an order of the liang ban noodles, but I think an order of vegetables would have rounded out the meal better to break up the copious amount of dough. Everything we ate was absolutely outstanding and well priced for the quality. I marked my personal favorites with *asterisks if you're looking to go as a smaller party of 2. The house-made chili sauce they added to their noodles and wontons wasn't too spicy. If you're looking for intense heat, you won't find it here. Rather you'll experience well balanced, savory bites of heaven!

    Spicy pork wontons, xiao long bao, lychee lemonade
    Emily V.

    Spicy pork wontons: 4/5 good flavor seasoned well Xiao long Bao: 3.5/5 a little too doughy and not enough broth Chili sauce: 3/5 I bought their signature chili sauce and wasn't the biggest fan of the flavor Lychee lemonade: 5/5 perfect balance of sweetness

    Pork and Leek Pancake
    Michelle X.

    It's rare to find a place that sells egg and chive pockets or chinese empanadas so I was thrilled to find Hui Tou Xiang. They're a dumpling shop through and through: boiled, pan-fried, steamed. The flavor was there, I just wish they were larger. I actually ordered takeout from their alhambra location but would love to check out the vibes of the hollywood bar spot.

    Rolled in on a Monday night around 6pm with a four top. Got seated immediately and within 10 minutes there was a wait. The service was nothing to write home about but we got food. We asked questions about the menu and our server was pretty short and not all that helpful so we punted. We ordered a mix of items and hoped for the best. Scallion pancakes were crunchy and a little greasy and tasty. The chicken and pork pot stickers were delicious. They felt homemade and were cooked to perfection. The ground pork noodles were not good although the server Implied they were a house favorite. The Liang Ban noodles were served cold and were a spicy, 4-star dish. A glass of Sauvignon Blanc was $12 and our guests had two. The ambience is ok, it's cramped and loud when busy. I felt not compulsion to photograph the food other than a couple of shots of noodles so that probably tells you all you need to know. It served a purpose but I don't know that I would return for a repeat of anything we had.

    Spicy pork wonton fabulous!

    First time here food was amazing, plus great service from the waiting time to the end!!! Great ambience to enjoy with the family and friends.

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!

(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.

Our server was very friendly and helpful in what we should order, and we felt very well taken care of during our visit. Over the course of the evening, we ordered the peach cocktail, strawberry goat cheese jasmine cocktail, Tommy's margarita, and kumquat apricot cocktail. My favorites were the first two - you could really taste all the components in them, so complex and interesting!! The kumquat apricot was also fun and refreshing for a hot night. The margarita was fine. Full disclosure - I ordered this drink because the ingredients looked really unique and interesting but I don't like Mezcal because it usually overpowers a drink, and that is kind of what happened here (couldn't taste any guava or green tea notes), so take my opinion with a grain of salt. For food, we got the following: Course 1: - Lamb terrine (5/5 great if you like lamb, it is delightfully gamey - in a good way) - Tomato Tartare (3/5 I think I wasn't into the trout roe with this but it was fresh and nice) Course 2: - Pork sausage in crepinette (4/5 fun presentation but this didn't blow me away) - Ragu of wild mushroom with tofu gnudi (5/5 the sauce on this was so good) Course 3: - Fried chicken (5/5 perfectly fried and loved the pickles on the side) - Mapo tofu with sweetbreads (4/5 good but I've had better mapo tofu, not a big lover of organ meats but the sweetbreads were great) Course 4 (best course): - Beef cheek (5/5 so incredibly tender and flavorful) - Spiced lamb saddle (5/5 so many flavors going on and the meat was cooked to perfection) For dessert, we ordered the corn sabayon and the roasted strawberry desserts but they brought us the strawberry and melon desserts instead. We realized we didn't get the corn dessert until we were halfway through eating what we received. We mentioned it to our waiter jokingly but he actually brought us out the other dessert too, which was such lovely service. Honestly, even though we didn't order the melon dessert, it ended up being the sleeper hit because it was served with a an amazing creamy honey mousse underneath the melon shaved ice. It was really something special, and I'd highly recommend it. Overall, I'd recommend this for a nice date night or a splurge dinner with friends. It's not cheap, but the quality was definitely there both in their fare and their service. It was a great exploration of Asian fusion done in a fine dining/tasting menu-style.
