I love this place. Five stars for the food. Five stars for the value/values. Five stars for the service/services. Five stars for being a good friend and neighbor. (USA!) Five stars for the freshly made dumplings and the huge portions of from-scratch wok-tossed dishes. Five stars for the steamed fish filet in black bean sauce and daily specials. (off menu!) Oriental House is a casual hidden gem located on busy La Cienega featuring freshly made tasty takeout, delivery and dine-in options. This tiny restaurant is owned and operated by an amazing family who care about their community and neighbors very much and demonstrate it on the daily. There's a big American flag flying in the sky just behind this restaurant which can help you locate this place.:) Street parking spots are hard to come by here. Uber and waymo to the rescue?! I like everything I've had here, but my favorite dish is the combination wonton soup. Literally one of the best I've had and I LOVE wonton soup! The broth has a slick sheen from bones in a kettle cooking and a perfect umami flavor which probably comes from my all-time favorite seasoning. You, me, Uncle Roger know what I'm talking about! Delicious! The soup is filled generously with a substantial amount of premium proteins, shrimp, chicken, pork and beef, all cooked and seasoned perfectly and handmade meat-filled dumplings with yummy vegetables. Traditional ancient recipes which have been coveted and passed down for generations are truly special. New recipes which have been lovingly influenced by other cultures can be pretty special too. Over the years, I have noticed something very special going on here. There's a small Chinese restaurant next to a big hospital in a working class neighborhood whose menu has been lovingly influenced by the black and brown community near you too. Hardworking people come here for great food, big portions and an incredible bargain. Some of the special dishes here include spicy jalapeno covered seafood and soul food-influenced pork chops, as well as made-to-order dishes according to what your mom needs on the day you arrive here. Many towns across this country are lucky enough to have a place like this. Where a talented chef runs a family restaurant which generously serves their community by catering their menu in honor of their neighbors cultures and cuisines. It's beautiful here because of you. Years ago, I came here during the lunar new year and ordered a special dinner to celebrate the new year with family and friends. I said hello and happy new year in Mandarin. I left with a warm smile and an unexpected free dessert in my bag! How to say "hello" in Mandarin. See your knee? The bone between your thigh and calf? Second half, "How". How much? How far? How do you do it so good?! I mean dance! "Knee how"! = "Hello"! I came here most recently on New Year's Day. I had told my family member this place would be open and we'd score the best parking spot for the first time. And I was right! (just keep swimming, just keep swimming!) We were greeted with a huge happy new year greeting. We ordered some New Year specials. We watched as the sweet owners gave comforting food and advice to the locals who knew them well. Newcomers with family members in the hospital next door got extra big takeout containers. I took a chance and asked if I could talk to the owners and give them a compliment personally. I told them about how I had overheard them asking about the health of their patrons' parents on multiple occasions and how kind it was to make dietary accommodations based on health needs, and that I thought they were amazing for it. I got a big smile! (I owe another American flag gift!) I highly recommend this tiny family neighborhood restaurant to you. I hope you get a chance to trade smiles with your neighbors in neighborhood restaurants like this one. I hope you have a wonderful new year filled with happiness, good health and great food! Five million stars Oriental House, for everything you do for your neighbors and community.:) Thank you! 谢谢! -From your neighbors! read more

I ordered here for the first time via online on Tuesday, 12/30/25 - this place utilizes a 3rd vendor party (BeyondMenu.com) which is very simple to use. I ordered the following: - 1 house special chow mein (small) = $7.99 SUBTOTAL = $7.99 TAX (9.75%) = $0.78 TOTAL = $8.77 Picked up my order during lunch time on Wednesday, 12/31/25. Located across the street from Kaiser West LA. Prices here are pretty affordable however I feel like the $7.99 small plate is not worth the price. I should have gotten the large. read more

Okay so let me start with saying this place has zero parking but if you can find a space then good for you. Upon walking in it's definitely small and not really aesthetically appealing and kinda hot but the customer service was good. We were greeted and the cook even brought out our food. Now we got the jalapeno chicken wings, the seasoning and batter was sooo good but it was ruined by the fact that they got big dollar store chicken wings... one of them was like a drum/ wing combo which I refused to eat. My son got the giant eggroll which was okay just wished they had better sweet and sour sauce to put on it . Not a bad place if they put more money and effort into the food but don't think we would go back read more

Chinese person here. I've never actually signed in or been inside, but I work at the hospital next to it and we very often pick up lots of food from here. The food is consistently delicious, a bit on the salty side, but it's the norm for Chinese takeout it seems. It's far from authentic, but Chinese takeout is a cuisine on its own. Get the fried tofu! Really delicious and very crunchy. read more

Some parking in the back which is always amazing. The fried chicken was sooo good and flavorful. A little salty at first but somehow get used to it and it works. Will def be back!! read more

4.5 star rating. Small hole in the wall location very close to Kaiser. I tried this once when a coworker brought the fried chicken to a holiday potluck and had to come in explore more of the menu since. The pork chops were fried so well that my partner and I ate the whole thing. String beans were cooked well with the right amount of crunch yet softness in the inside. The chicken was the other thing that wasn't marinated long enough in my opinion. Quick and easy call and pick up right after work. 3.5% surcharge for credit card. Chick fil a parking lot can get wild especially around dinner time on a week night so might need to wait a tad for parking. But definitely would come back! read more

Don't let the ambiance fool you. You'll change your mind once you get some food in your tummy. My friend introduced me to this spot. Kept raving about how amazing their fried chicken and let me tell you it definitely did NOT disappoint!!! The chicken was super crunchy! Perfectly seasoned! Fried rice cooked just right!! You can also ask for no jalapeño if you don't like spicy food. For the amount they charge, you definitely get more for your buck. Man oh man was it good! Such a hole in the wall spot! Definitely would go here again. And try their other dishes. But if you do go, the spicy chicken wings is something you have to try! As for parking, just go to the driv-thru at chick-fil-A and park in their parking lot. read more

Oriental House - 46. Hot and Spicy Chicken Wings with fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I order from them and pickup from time to time. Basic good Chinese food and reminds me food from Flushing NY. Just good food at a fair price. Peeps/owners are very nice and it is great for local pickup. Parking is a issue...but if you call ahead for pickup and your fast...I go to del taco and out. This is my go to place outside of the 626 for fast food. Definitely not the garbage Panda food. If you're used to that type of food or mall chinese...this place is not for you. read more

Good cheap Asian food. Hot and spicy tofu and pork chops are best . Recommendation for sure

We definitely appreciated the cooked to order style Made fresh, every order is customizable to your food preference. We tried 2 different small fried rice and a full order of Orange Chicken. The house fried rice was decent, being our first time here we'll have to add what we like in there next time. The chili pork with shrimp had a sweetness from five spice but it was definitely different but still great with chili oil and soy sauce it hit. The Orange Chicken fried crispy with a thick glaze that wasn't overly sweet, everything was well coated. Overall we will come back and explore the menu their noodles looked delicious. read more

Not cleanly at all, I only go to get their fried jalapeño chicken wings. It's the only thing I trust getting from there.

I have got takeout from here quite a few times now and have never been disappointed. Everything is cooked to order and tastes fresh. The Oriental Specials served over rice are all recommended. read more

This a hole in the wall kind of resturaunt. Average plate cost about $15. I ordered 4 entrees and 2 drinks, our bill came out to $64 may not be to bad if the food was good but the food was not good at all. The chicken tasted old in every dish. The chow mien was mushy. The chicken with vegetables were also mushy. The tai tea was drinkable. It was more half and half then tea. The food was not good at all. First and last time I will eat there. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for 3 years and I can't believe I barely found out about this place this week! I'm impressed because the food was delicious! We ordered the hot and spicy pork chops, shrimp chowmein, and eggplant with chicken and fried rice. Generous portions for a great price. read more

It was my first time to try it. Got a huge craving for pork and it is a big frustration. Spending money to eat salt. Extremely salty! I cannot taste the flavor of the pork. Its as if i am eating salt. read more

A small local business that my buddy introduced me to a few years ago. I stand by this business 100%, their tofu with spicy salt is packed with flavor, it comes with garlic and jalapeños for each bite. It is a heavy snack that can be shared by at least two people, or even paired with rice. Overall, this snack has me obsessed and raving about this place to people I know. read more

Support your local no frills mom and pop Chinese restaurant! The fiancé wanted some soup and I stumbled upon this place. We live in the area but have never checked it out till now. We ordered seafood soup and a fried fish, both were 10/10! We will be back to try their other dishes. read more

Price too high for the quality and the amount of food. The good thing that it was ready when I got there.

If I could give this place a minus 5 I would! what kind of a restaurant in Los Angeles is allowed to have no restrooms in a sitdown restaurant? I went in this place, having read reviews and looking very forward to eating there. The only problem? Had to use the restroom very very badly. First The the first indication I had that I was in trouble was when the woman that I spoke to, an older woman, asked either her daughter or granddaughter to come out and speak to me. This woman did not understand English apparently. The daughter or granddaughter; looked quite a bit younger, and I was hopeful she understood English. She did. She also told me no restroom. I said, there's a door locked right there. Would you please unlock it I'd like to eat here, but I must use the restroom. First, I have to go pee really bad! She insisted the door was not a door to a restroom even though you could tell it was. I told her I was looking forward to eating there but I first needed to use the restroom. She again told me there wasn't a restroom available, so I turned away from her and we walked out. I would like to know, isn't there a law in Los Angeles that if you have a sit down establishment, you are required to have a restroom for patrons? If not, then patrons be warned. read more

This is my go to spot for take out. They are close to my house and reasonably priced. The parking lot is a crapshoot because of the homophobic chicken spot that's in the same plaza, but there is some street parking. The quality of the food here is very consistent. And they have well priced combos. The portions are very generous and the service is quick for take out and delivery, which they do through delivery partners. They have a good selection of food and their specials are very tasty. read more

I've noticed this place many times because it's right near Kaiser West LA on Cadillac and on the way to Beverly Center on LaCienega. It's definitely a hole in the wall and I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised. You never know... My usual favorite local Chinese restaurants are closed so I tried delivery from here. The sweet and sour chicken was the most disappointing. The pieces of chicken were overcooked so much that the chicken was hard and inedible. The house special chow mein tasted different than I'm used to. The egg roll wasn't good. The broccoli beef was okay. The won ton soup was probably the best thing I ordered. The portions were generous. The search for a good local Chinese restaurant continues. read more

Would give Oriental House a 3.5 but I rounded down to 3 due to forced rating - pick a 3 or 4. I ordered a small Hot and Sour Soup $6.49; Giant Egg Roll $2.99; and Spicy Pork Chop with Steamed Rice $9.99. The soup was good but not great - 6 of 10 rating. I liked the egg roll's texture but I thought it could be a little more flavorful - 7 of 10 rating. The spicy pork chops was good - 8 of 10 rating. The service was good, the lady behind the counter was friendly and attentive. Would I come back? Maybe. Parking is a challenge and the surrounding area could be better. read more

The shrimp fried rice was good but the fried pork chops were paper thin. I wish they gave thicker pieces instead of more thin over battered pieces. read more

Wow! Amazing flavor, and portion size! I got the eggplant with chicken, over rice, and an order of garlic green beans. They prepared my food quickly, and I took it home to eat. The eggplant was so delicious, I couldn't stop eating it! The garlic string beans were fresh, cooked perfectly, and seasoned exceptionally! Great "hole in the wall" Chinese food! read more

Covid times review A wonderful hole in the wall, mom and pop Chinese food spot. Parking is a disaster so good luck with that. But their fried tofu is to die for! So delicious! Their chicken wings are great too! read more

Would eat here again, food tastes fresh but also not the best Chinese I've ever had. I ordered basic dishes: the orange chicken, green beans and beef chow fun. The green beans were really good, very crisp and tasty. The chow fun was a bit dry, and the orange chicken was also a little dry and not as tangy or crispy as Panda Express (I know, not a traditional place to compare but their orange chicken is a standard to uphold lol) I'd like to try some other dishes from this restaurant bc of the freshness and several friends had recommended it to me. read more

"Want some Chinese?" When I hear this question, one thing pops in my brain, SUPER CRISPY PORK CHOPS! This place is really like the "drug of choice" for workaholics. (That would be me). This place is ran by 2 people,husband and wife. The husband cooks. The wife gets the order and does the rest. There's no other wait staff here. As you walk in, order and wait. Or preorder and pick up. A very small place (5 tables)with an A rate. Well sometimes the tables are sticky and oily because every single food here is greasy, extra oily. It's extremely busy too.It's no doubt that the food is an artery-clogger and I actually feel bad every after meal. But it's an irony that most people who gets food here works in the hospital. It is located across the street of Kaiser-WLA. I don't have to explain the statistics. But it's now a part of everyday life for most. Once a month indulgence is ok. And I can't speak for anyone who choose to eat everyday or every week. :) read more

I had to do a review of this place because I've been here many times now and the lady who owns the restaurant has been acting shady lately. I've probably been here about 10 times total. I always order the same thing the spicy wings with garlic and jalapeño. The weird thing is that every single time after the first time I came the price has been different which I initially didn't think anything of the first couple times until it kept happening to the point where she was charging me nearly 3 dollars more than the listed price. It was awkward but it happened again today and I brought it up. She just made some random excuse up and I paid. The wings are good and that's the reason I keep coming back but the owners behavior is shady and makes for a bad customer service experience. I think she feels she can guilt people into just paying but that is not the right way to run a business. read more

Good quality, great value Chinese food! The owners were really friendly and the food was ready in 10 min. Nothing quite like this little hole-in-the-wall gem.

Decent spot for chinese food, but nothing overly special. It's one of the better spots around the hospital for food. Especially after 7pm where your options are limited to a sandwich in the vending machine, del taco, or this. The owners are really friendly and it is a nice conversation to keep, but otherwise the food is just ok, and they cater to american chinese food. read more
