This is one of the oldest Chinese Restaurant in the Walnut and probably in the area. The hole in the wall survived so many years since 1979. It means something. Old dining area but clean. Noticed most orders are to go order. Service was quite fast. It's not super crowded but they have steady customer. Mostly regular customers. Food comes in big portion and very reasonable price. Taste is not bad. No additional MSG is added. A true hidden gem. read more

Love the traditional Chinese style menu and the pricing is very affordable especially the lunch special. $10 for entre, plus soup, and egg roll is a steal. Will be coming back her for sure. The food was also excellent but take that from a non-chinese customer. Good portions and tasty. The restaurant is not anything fancy but if you are just in it for the food and price 100% recommend. The servers were very polite and made sure they checked on us regularly. read more

Came today for their $10 lunch special and this place did not disappoint. I ordered their Mongolian beef with egg drop soup, fried rice, egg roll, wonton crisp. Such insane value and food was pretty decent. Waitress was very kind, everyone spoke mandarin. This is probably one of the best bang for your buck Chinese spots in Walnut. I also found out they were one of the first Chinese restaurants to open here since 1979! Overall 9.3/10 I will be back! read more

Walnut tree has always been the go to for my family. Can't get better authentic Chinese comfort food than this nearby. Especially with their affordable prices and big portions. It's such a hidden gem. The service has always been kind and friendly. Usually we order take out but dine in time to time in their cozy establishment. Best memories were of us being there eating hot wonton soups during a rain storm in winter. Just the best. read more

First time trying this place, very friendly and good was yummy! The plates are huge and shareable. Will definitely be coming back. read more

My husband and I decided to give this restaurant another try. The other dish we used to always order was Chicken Pan Fried Noodles. OMG! What a huge disappointment! The noodles were hard and tasted stale. I had to literally break them apart with my hands! The owners are NOT the same! I'm Chinese and can honestly say that these were the absolute WORST pan fried noodles I've ever had in my entire life. We will NEVER, EVER make the mistake of eating here again! I would ZERO stars if I could! read more

Came here for the first time for a relatives birthday. It is such a hole in the wall I can't believe I've never been here! The food was very well priced - ~$17.00 per person and includes soup of the day, rice, wonton and shrimp + an entree. I couldn't even finish my entree because of how big it was. The food was delicious and came out in quick time. At one point we did have to remind the owner that we were missing some egg rolls/wontons but I think it's because we had such a big party. I would definitely stop by here if you're looking for great Chinese food. read more

Your favorite Yelp correspondent loves it when he can add a new, well-run Chinese restaurant to his roster of "go to" staples- a list that includes Red Lantern in Glendora, Happy Kitchen in Chino Hills and, if I'm ensconced near Newport Beach, Mandarin King. My friends and fellow Yelpers- ADD Walnut Tree Restaurant to the list! Walnut's original Chinese restaurant planted its roots in 1979, when Disco was ebbing, Jimmy Carter sat in the Oval Office and gasoline had surged to $0.86/g in the wake of the Iranian hostage crisis. Forty six years and three family generations later, the folks who run Walnut Tree are still delivering fresh, tasty Chinese cuisine at affordable prices. I arrived at 2:57pm, scarcely in time to score their nifty lunch special- (lunch-portioned) entree plus your choice of rice, accompanied by soup, egg rolls + tempura shrimp...all for $12.95 ($2 less if you go with lo mein instead of rice). The egg flower soup was good, though I'm sure the stink eye stare I got from an elderly guest seated across from me was because I'd violated his sense of dining propriety by dousing my soup with soy sauce! The egg roll was piping hot with a pleasant crunchy exterior- ditto for the shrimp. The kung pao chicken was serviceably good, not the "Ivy League" of Kung pao dishes I've enjoyed through the years but did the job. The fried rice was, however, a wee bland. Served with no slivered scallions, fried egg or proteins. You can upgrade to its beefier cousin, but with the lunch special you get the basic version. My server Kloe was pleasant and her service was lightning-quick! No sooner had I consumed three spoonfuls of my soup and she'd materialized with my entree! She also kept my diet coke replenished. The Walnut Tree Restaurant is cozy but clean. My bill was $17, incl soup/appy/entree, a drink, taxes and tip. Bravo!!! Can't wait to bring my family back. read more

All the food here is so good, but when I'm sick I run to go get their wonton soup. It's so so good, wontons, bok choy, water chestnuts, baby corn, bamboo, bbq pork AND fried shrimp? OMG it's phenomenal. Don't wait to be sick though, it's so good on a rainy soup day, or just when you want something cozy and comforting. read more

Since becoming vegan, we hadn't gone to Walnut Tree in ages. We used to go there all the time. I decided to check out their menu and they had a vegetarian menu. I ordered the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, the Kung Pao Tofu, and the potato Salt and Pepper Potato Slices. I made sure to let them know I was vegan beforehand. Everything was great. I brought them to a birthday potluck and the potato slices were a hit. They were like thick potato chips, but crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were too spicy for me, lol. My favorite was the eggplant dish. Perfect with steamy white rice. The kung pao tofu was well-received too. I will definitely go there again and check out the rest of their vegetarian/vegan options. read more

Small whole in the wall. Good food. The orange chicken was the best. Dark meat. Not too sweet. Sweet n sour had white meat. So it was kinda dry. Mongolian beef very chewy and kind of sweet. Has a lot of onions. Good portions though. read more

Great food and very nice people Good location and good parking . Chinese chicken salad is great.

Very fresh made food and friendly atmosphere. House warmly place to dine in. All my coworkers love this place

The food is AMAZING and the workers are very nice. The place is very clean and the people are very welcoming. They have a lot of options.

To-go order today... something simple. Chicken chop suey a la cart and 8 steamed dumplings. Chicken chop Suey is my favorite, so how do you mess it up? The good chop Suey has an abundance of bean sprouts but not here. It doesn't taste good at all! I'm so bummed. Everything smelled and taste like it came out of the sink and was cooked in tap water. Ugh. I don't mean to sound harsh but I wasted my lunch at this place. Steamed dumplings, out of an 8ct, I was able to eat 2 1/2 bc I am pregnant and hungry. Unless the front staff knows you, you have to wait by the register for 5 min until you can make eye contact with someone to let them know you have a to-go order. It's up to you to try this place but it's not good at all. Unless it was just my lucky day today! I paid $26 for 2 items I can't eat! Look at leftovers on my pics. read more

This is a favorite place for our family. Good Cantonese style food -like when I was a kid. The best deal is the lunch special. If you can dine in, you get soup, and if it's the hot & sour soup - score! Theirs is legit. But we've ordered to go, too, and always enjoy it. Other favorites are the king pao chicken and fish with black bean sauce. The restaurant is medium sized, so enough for lunch service and it's cute - reminds me of the "mom and pop" places Chinatown used to have. The staff is always on the go and service is quick and friendly. read more

Was in town and was recommended this place and stopped by to get some takeout for dinner. The place was empty except for an elderly couple dining in. My son and I ordered combination fried rice, egg drop soup, salt and pepper squid, and beef noodles. EVERYTHING tasted bland. The noodles barely had noodles, but LOTS of onions and bean sprouts. It's like they used the onions and bean sprout as fillers to replace the noodles. Our order didn't take long and we only waited for a little over 5 minutes. So I gave an extra star for that, but I'd rather have my food taste better and wait the extra minutes. Plus, if I'm going to pay $$ for over priced bland dinner, I'd rather drive over to China blossom and pay less with better quality. Just saying... read more

They've recently changed ownership but it's it's still the same due to new owners being relatives and using same recipes. Service is still wonderful since it's still family owned and run. New owners are friendly and knowledgeable. Quality of the food is the same, which is great! Good sized portions and flavors are tasty. Their lunch specials are a deal for what you get and there's more than enough items to choose from. Maybe the new owners will freshen up the interior since it hasn't changed in years. There's nothing wrong with the interior, just a little dated. Still, the highlight is the food - good food at a reasonable price and good sized portions. read more

The fried rice is not fried enough! It looks like it is white rice basically and the food is bland. The orange chicken is okay at best, I asked for spicy orange chicken & they seemed to only sprinkle in some red pepper flakes which didn't add any spice at all. OMG the worse thing about this place is the chicken wontons it's has a tiny piece of chicken meat in the wontons tell me if you see the chicken. I wasted my time & money trying this place! I am comparing the flavors of this establishment with my all time favorites "Chop Chop" kitchen in Gardena off Normandie & Redondo Beach Blvd the original Chop Chop never had the food from the new owner & "China Gate" at the willowbrook station on the border of Compton & Watts. The food portions here are too small for the price of the food! New to the Walnut area but I should have gotten Panda Express! Never again will I try the food from this restaurant. To be honest the 2 stars is me trying not to be mean! read more

The last time I purchased takeout from this restaurant was during COVID. Yesterday I ordered the braised green beans, orange chicken and the combination fried rice. It was delicious! The braised green beans were seasoned just right and cooked just right. The orange chicken was flavorful (better than I remember it) and the fried rice was good also. The prices have gone up but so has everything else. At least this food is freshly cooked. Really enjoyed the meal. read more

We didn't want fast food Chinese so I found this local restaurant. Walked in and they don't greet you so we just sat anywhere. In retrospect, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Ordered our food. While she is not taking orders she's cleaning and spraying things. Wouldn't wash her hands before touching plates. Instead just puts gloves on. Bad look. Food came out and Lady looked like she didn't want to be there. Instead of her asking if we needed anything she ignores us. I had to speak out loud to call her (several times). She never looked our way. Regarding hot sauces, soy sauce, napkins, etc. Tall buff Asian guy (working kitchen) kept walking out and would stare in our direction. We start eating. Steamed rice is hard as if it's old and/or from yesterdays batch. Steamed (chicken) dumplings had no taste. Bland chicken mix inside. Will not order dumplings again and will ask for fresh steamed rice next time. Other than that...Beef and broccoli was good. Orange chicken was good. Green tea went down good. House chow Mein was good. Has to get better from here. Looking to go back and try other things. read more
