    When you want this this type of Chinese food. This is the only place you should go. Portions that quell hungers of a village and the nicest and most welcoming staff.

    The food was tasty but sauces too thick and sweet. Best eaten fresh and hot and they pile it high but after a while when it cools and sits it turns into a sticky mass of carbs. Service was great the place has a hood classic vibe. Best to eat it there and maybe ask them to not give you so much, it really was a lot but only $9.99 for 2 item combo. Probably just me I guess. Try it at least once .

    Absolutely one of my favorite spots in Van Nuys! The service is great! The ambiance is very family and friendly! The food is heaping good! Thank you team!!!

    Huge servings, good flavor, very reasonable value and friendly staff. The staff is happy to give you a sample to help you decide on ordering. The seasoning is slightly different than typical steam table Chinese Take-out establishments. The OK Chinese chow mein and fried rice tasted a bit sweeter. The serving sizes are so large that we decided to order the Combo B with double Orange Chicken and half and half, chow mein and fried rice, a couple of fried prawns, a couple of fried chicken wing pieces and won ton soup. All of the food feed 4 us and we were full. The orange chicken pieces are tender, good sized pieces and nicely fried with a good batter and sauce. The shrimp and chicken both had a nice crunch and very light on seasoning. The won ton dumplings don't have a lot of taste but they give you a ton of veggies, shrimp and pork in the broth. There was so much extra tender pork that we ended up making pork fried rice with the extra meat. This will be our go to Chinese steam table restaurant when we are in town. Excellent value, huge portions such that the food is squeezing out of the containers, good service and good Chinese fast food. If you are craving fast Chinese food that is tasty and a great value restaurant for multiple people or a large group, go here, don't miss out.

    Half Fried Rice / Half Chow Mein

    Yelp, YouTube, & TikTok made me try this place;). Food portions is incredible and HUGE! Can definitely be shared between two people! I ended up not finishing it and saved it for the next day. Chinese food in general doesn't always reheat well. If you're one person going to Ok Chinese in Van Nuys, one item plate is enough, but if you want the two item, definitely eat all the fried rice and save the Chow Mein for reheating. I got the Kung Pao & Orange chicken. Overall good, but needed a bit more flavor however it wouldn't stop from going back. I did notice a smoky type flavor which I couldn't tell where it came from. It's different. Not bad but not great either. I think this place is Mexican run and I like the Hispanic influence over the cooking! The employees there were really nice! They do accept credit cards. Probably the next time I go, it will be the Orange Chicken & Chow Mein. I really liked the Chow Mein! That surprised me a lot and the texture of the Orange Chicken is really good as well just needs a bit more Citrus sweet flavor:). Kung Pao Chicken okay. Would try something else next time. All in all, it's definitely worth your time to check out. The portions are worth the price. I wish Panda Express would give these portions.

    I saw a post regarding this place and decided to stop by to try them out, the post I saw showed that they were very generous with their portions, I can confirm that they do serve humongous portions that you can just barely close the lid of the food Container. I ordered the chow mien/fried rice with spicy pork and 3pcs fried chicken wings, I love the spicy pork, the fried rice and chow mien were also good. They have other foods I have to try out. The servers were friendly and professional The dining area feels kinda divey but functional and clean, I came in around 5:30pm, not sure of their operating hours. I looked for and didn't see a sign stating their hours, I wish they have a self serve soda fountain instead of selling them by the can.

    The food was OK. Greasy, not horrible but not the best. Definitely have tried out worse spots. The chicken was too small. Overall, the food was OK but I would not go back.

    Thank you ok china for the amazing food. I love this restaurant so much i been coming there for 20 years. Best Chinese restaurant in town

    Orange chicken/fried chicken/chow mein/ fried rice
    Christian K.

    My mom was scrolling through Facebook and found this place, a lot of people were saying it's so good and the portion sizes are huge. So the rational thing to do, is we had to go try it out and see for ourselves. We ordered two combo plates, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, fried chicken, with fried rice and chow mein. Also, got a large wonton soup. To be honest, this place was okay and nothing spectacular. The portions were absolutely huge!! Literally filled to the brim with food, spilling out the sides. The service was good.

    Kaelin A.

    The serving sizes here are absolutely insane!!! I think my jaw actually dropped when they were putting my order together. Service was quick and friendly. The food tasted good! I really liked their orange chicken and noodles. If you want fast food Chinese food, this will definitely satisfy your craving. There are a few tables inside. it is in a plaza and there's a parking lot, but it is very small and packed.

    Most insane portions I've ever seen, and the food kicks Panda Express's a*s. Genuinely 3 full meals for 13 bucks.

    Do they still just Cash only?

    I will say call them just to get the most accurate answer. When I went like 3 weeks ago I didn't see any notice about cash only but I did read other people reviews that said bring cash. So I had both cash and card, I paid with cash in the end

    Is it still cash only?

    No they accept credit cards now

    What's the potato and beef dish called in this place?

    You mean potato and chicken?

    . Did they raise the price for a combo plate? I went there yesterday and the charged me over 8 dollars. It was only a little over 6 dollars before.?

    This review is only regarding the posted hours versus what I experienced upon arrival…read more I had a long day at work and was really looking forward to treating myself to what's rated as the best Chinese food in the area. I even drove a bit out of my way to come here, only to find a "closed" sign on the door. I truly hope everything is okay with the owners and staff, but it was disappointing that there wasn't any notice or backup plan for unexpected closures. From what I could see through the window, the restaurant looked very clean and well-kept. I'll definitely want to try again another time but will certainly call first!!!!

Yes,…read moreFrankenstein can buy into a good hype every so often which the Bride of Frankenstein enjoys pointing out. Especially when Frankenstein is wrong. Frankenstein enjoys braised beef noodle soup. A lot. Frankenstein's heart was yanked out of his huge body and crushed when Mandarin Deli went out of business during Covid. A pain he still feels even today. They had the best Braised Beef Noodle Soup ever! Frankenstein went hook, line, and sinker when he read the Yelp hype about this place. Bottom line, nice people, not as awesome as was described. Braised Beef Noodle Soup- Sorry Noodles Kitchen but it's too chili hot. About a 8.5 to 9 on Frankensteins too hot scale. Beef was okay, not great. Noodles were good. Bride of Frankenstein had one taste and pushed it away. "Mucho Caliente" Orange Chicken, fine. Let's not go overboard everyone. Pan Fried Dumplings, good. Check it out for yourself. 10/11/2025 Update- It saddens Frankenstein to see so many fake reviews over and over again. Really Noodles Kitchen? Please.

Upon entry there is a takeout area where you can order hot meat dishes and to go menu or dine in. We got complimentary hot tea when seated. The interior is a bit dated compared with other restaurants of this type but the food was delicious. We got duck and preserved egg porridge, scrambled egg with shrimp, and a two bbq combo plate of char siu and roast pork. The porridge came out fast and delicious! We ate with the chili and white paper available at the table. Next came the scrambled egg and shrimp. We actually ordered the version with rice, not the entree so the servers got us some rice but missing the gravy. Lastly came the bbq combo plate. We thought it would arrive first since the meats were all ready to go in the takeout area. It came with some hoisin sauce. The char siu was tasty. The roast pork however was not as crispy and kinda mealy so the sauce helped.

It's one of those places where it's loud because customers are ordering from the barbecue stall adjacent to the dining room, which is filled with diners at every table. Lots of wait staff are milling about, busy taking orders, delivering dishes to diners, and turning tables for the next set of guests waiting their turn. I got off a 7-day trip from Seattle and was craving roasted duck. I thought I was going to just grab-n-go on this trip but decided to grab lunch with the fam. We kept it simple with 3 main dishes. The watercress stirfried with garlic is always a staple at every Chinese restaurant meal. Their porkchops here was neither greasy or salty. It had the right amount of seasoning and crunch. Also got the beef chowfun. When ordering, the waiter will always ask whether you want dry or with gravy. I almost always prefer the dry variation. There was plenty food for 3 people and still had leftovers to take home. Not pictured here is the whole roasted duck I purchased or the glistening array of duck and other barbecued meats they sell for to go.

If not, I would just leave, but some stuff looked okay, and I was ready to eat some okay "Chinese" food.

Their beef and broccoli, orange chicken (especially when it just freshly came out from the kitchen) was SOOOO GOOOOD!! They don't cook in big batch of food, but in small batches! Which is great.. the food stays fresh and not sitting for long then probably get wasted if by closing time they weren't sold out. So.. sometimes, you might need to wait for the fresh portion to be cooked. The Lao Ban (boss) and the server/cashier; Ms. Wing (I think that's her name) were always so welcoming and friendly . They offered to cook me a fresh batch of the items I wanted. But... I like my food well done and overcooked so... I know,.. I'm a bit different LOL But I like their food!!

It was disgusting! I ate a few bites, threw away the rest. What a waste of money!!! I don't know who keeps giving them praises for their food. May be those people just don't know any better and they've never had any good Chinese food. Golden City is definitely a "HELL NO! Never again!!!" for me. Perhaps it's because I'm Chinese that I hold a higher standard, but seriously... this place was disgustingly inedible!

Server guy was chill. The food is served in a paper bowl, unlike the nice bowls you see in their pics. Tl;dr: if you're curious, don't waste your time, bafang is open 5min away Preface: I KNOW it's mall food, but for a restaurant that continuously pops up as #1 on Yelp whenever I search for food around the northridge/chatsworth area, I'm going to treat it as if it were a #1 spot. Beef noodle soup: to be very blunt, this was quite flavorless. The beef was dry as bones and looked like it was sliced with a mandoline. The noodles seemed undercooked and it felt like I was eating al dente spaghetti noodles. I got a medium spice level which didn't even seem that spicy, just a lot of cough inducing chili oil with no burn. Pan fried dumplings were ok. It honestly tasted like it was deep fried and not pan fried. Unsweetened black tea: hands down the best of the 3 things in the combo, which is quite telling. Honestly you get a decent amount of food for $15.

The service was friendly and the wait was reasonable. Its located in the mall which means that you don't really get much of a vibe from this place alone but of everything surrounding.

The beef was soft and flavorful with the smaller bits of beef, which resembled ground beef, were very tasty. The soup was good overall but felt a bit too oily. The dumplings had a light crunchy exterior and the inside was juicy but it felt just a bit too mushy for me. Overall a good place and I would return to try something else.
