Very good food and the price is not bad too Hole in the Wall Resturant .. i eat there 3 times a week read more

Go to take out in the area. Family favorite with healthy portions. Great customer service.

Food is just ok, but portions are HUGE . Definitely the place to go if you want lots of food.

Everything we ordered was freshly cooked!! Unlike other restaurants where the food is out to choose from. Would definitely go back!!

******PLEASE READ!!!!!****** Theyre food is pretty good and as a pretty loyal customer I was VERY shocked and appalled at what I found out. Not too long ago, I went to walnut tree and ordered 3 items. I've known for a while now that they've raised the prices and decreased portion sizes which is to be expected with the price of everything skyrocketing - no big deal, everyone does it right? Wrong! I called my order in and went to pick it up. When I arrived I waited to pay for my order. I noticed the girl write 3 prices down on a blank notepad. She then entered the 3 amounts onto their handheld calculator and the total into the register to generate the receipt, like usual (its always done this way at walnut tree as their register is a bit outdated) - no problem. Right before I handed her my card, I noticed the 3 amounts she wrote down on the pad. I asked why she charged me $14.15 for an item that was $12.95; her response was that this was the price with tax. This response made me think. She swiped my card and gave me the receipt to sign. I took my card, receipt, picked up a menu and went to sit down. It was bothering me so I calculated the amounts of the 3 items I ordered plus the 9% tax that is required for LA county. My total came to about $3 less than the total she charged me. Then, because I'm a math major/detective [;)], I calculated the tax per individual item and added each of those totals together. The answer was the amount I was charged. Think about it.... If you order 1 item each visit and only visit a few times it wouldn't really make that much of a difference. But for those who order more than 1 item and visit quite often, you're paying about $2-3 extra each time you go. $3 x 3 visits per week x 52 weeks per year is $468 per year you could have saved by not getting ripped off. This may not seem like a lot but its almost $500 that could go to something else like a new iPad or phone or something that will last a long time and not "exit the building" on your next trip to the restroom. They also have a doctored menu where they replaced the prices with labels that have the calculated the tax on each item (see picture of menu) read more

Very nice people, great service, large portions and delicious food. We like the orange chicken sauce on the side, teriyaki chicken sauce on the side, beef broccoli and the Chinese chicken salad is also delish read more

Okay so I must have been having a really bad day or something the first time I reviewed this place. I am literally OBSESSED with this place... I brought my boyfriend here not too long ago, because we wanted a lazy night in, with movies and Chinese take out... We got a little carried away and ordered about $45 worth of food.. just for us two! Hey.. we wanted variety okay.. and plus we ate more for breakfast haha But I love the food here, it's delicious and authentic. I don't know what the other ones who say is isn't are talking about.. But you be the judge? But this place and another place in China Town are my favorite! So that says a lot.. One thing I will absolutely recommend from here is their WONTON SOUP!!!! SOOOO BOMB!!! People say menudo is the hangover cure? Try this wonton soup with a little but of sirracha and you're set! But don't judge this place by it's cover... You honestly can't even notice it just by driving by, it' so hidden and does not stand out what so ever. Even walking in, its small, a little out dated, but it's about the quality and taste of the food, and that my fellow yelpers, does not let down... It gets pretty busy during lunch time, but the service is very friendly and it's fast. read more

Awesome food always! There are plenty of options here and the portions are big. My go to is the kung Pao chicken or orange chicken!

Disgusting... I should of known better. Still wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, BIG MISTAKE. Called and asked if they had Shrimp Won Ton Soup and the lady said yes. Ordered to go. Came to work opened my soup, looked decent... took a spoonful of soup and SODIUM galore!!! The actual wonton was not shrimp, tasted like uncooked dough, and they put shrimp in the soup separately. The shrimp was old and overcooked, looked funny. Waitresses there looked miserable and never once smiled. -5 Stars! OH AND THEIR CHOPSTICKS CRUMBLED WHEN I OPENED IT AS IF TERMITES WERE EATING IT, THAT GOT INTO MY SOUP read more

Great food, big servings and really nice staff. Ive orders many different dishes and so far I have enjoyed all of them.

Didn't even know this place was so close to our house...good option for Chinese food when you want some quick and don't wanna deal with a crowd at Capital or one of those spots. The food is decent, and you can call for pickup too. You wouldn't really notice this place if you just drove by, but I'm glad it's around :) read more

Best little hidden spot in the area. Perfect tasting authentic Chinese food. We love this place warm service & very comfortable. The food is so authentic & tasty, prices are very reasonable. The serving size is very generous. read more

I come here once a week. I either get the wonton soup or orange chicken. Or Mongolian beef. Or walnut shrimp it's amazingly fresh the service is great the people are nice and food is fast. I call in my order and I pick it up 20 minutes later hot as hell read more

This place has the BEST wonton soup!!!! Never thought the hole in the wall would be such a yummy place to R&R. read more

Huge portions. Friendly service. Even during Covid they looked busy. Americanized Chinese food done well.

Food has a gray taste and I have gone back a couple of times. The only thing is the air conditioning was off during regular business hours and you really felt the heat. Staff is very friendly. read more

A small little mom and pop chinese american restaurant with old plain 60's 70's decors. Closed on Sundays. Heard their chicken salad is highly recommended. I didn't like it at all. Don't like the dressing. Seems like they just use mayonnaise sauce added some sasame oil. Very plain. They also served special luncheon. Price seems reasonable. Maybe will try their special lunchon next time. Give them another try. read more

I've known this restaurant my entire upbringing! This is my fave Chinese food spot. The food is so good & flavorful and the staff is so friendly. Love them! Best Chinese food in my hometown :) read more

Took my family here to celebrate my moms birthday. The food was excellent and the staff was wonderful. Our waitress Lisa provided outstanding service and was very courteous. My favorite dishes were the honey walnut shrimp, sizzling beef, and crispy pork chops to name a few. I couldn't imagine a better place to celebrate my mom special day and will definitely be back. read more

good chinese fast food like kung pao chicken and mongolian beef. good for takeout for lunch.

The food is always made fresh, everything on the menu is so delicious, the lunch/dinner combination prices are so cheap and include so much food it can be shared by 2 people! This restaurant has been around close to 50 years I believe (if not longer) and is really a hidden gem of Walnut. My family and I always enjoy coming here! read more

Great little hole in the wall type restaurant in Walnut. Tasty food and great value lunch specials. I usually call ahead for pick up and the food is always ready when I arrive. What a gem of a place for good Chinese food. read more

strangest chinese I've had. ordered a large beef and broccoli and a beef combo with vegetables with $1 extra "noodles". the beef was so soggy and undercooked and it tasted like fish. the noodles tasted like what I could only think charred mothballs could. rice was forgotten on the large dish as well as the soup on the combo. chopsticks request and if they had packets of duck sauce were ignored. I already had an upset stomach and was hoping to have something a little more firm to hold me down but wtf is this? I opened the boxes and felt the weight thinking I scored the best place I'd return to but now I just feel so sad for all this wasted meat. bleh. read more

I'm pretty upset after just ordering food to go from here. I've been here once before and everything was great! Food portions are huge and service was nice. Today I ordered their lunch special to go and got the Sweet and Sour chicken with the $1 upgrade for noodles and another $1 for Hot and Sour Soup. This review isn't for the food because the food tasted good. I received my order and got in my car and went back to work. I opened my bag to see the food was correct, but they gave me egg drop soup instead by accident. And then I noticed I never got my eggroll or wontons or anything else basically included in the lunch special. I've ordered this before so I know it's all included. My work it's too far of a drive to go back, but I'm only given 30 minutes and didn't want to waste more time and gas to fix this mistake. I'm not sure if I will be coming here again anytime soon, but be sure to check your order to make sure you get everything right and aren't jipped on anything. read more

I've been here sooooo many times in the last few months that they know me and most of my fam and friends already. I take everyone there to show them this diamond in the rough. They told me it has been there 40years... low key and small but the food is amazing and priced within my small budget. The service is always welcoming and friendly only draw back is there's maybe one or two servers and when it's busy there (not often which is a blessing) it's a bit longer of a wait for them to get to the table. You can definitely tell that they truly care about their customers. They really are worth being a little more Patient for. My favorite items there are the dinner special with orange chicken also the Wonton Soup. Let's remember this is a small local business and seating Is limited but so worth it, if u have to wait for a table . read more

Our family has been enjoying delicious food from the Walnut Tree since the 70s. Along with many friends, we all love the variety of tasty foods. Hearing the chatter from the kitchen adds character to the ambience. Don't change anything, friends! Silly, petty people please stay away! read more

I tried this place years ago and wasn't impressed but I have to say that the food has really improved! I especially liked the Peking style pork chops and the spicy salt pork chops. Maybe I have a thing for pork chops? Service was fast and the lunch specials are very reasonably priced. The hot and sour soup was nicely seasoned. I plan to go back and try other things soon! Portions are generous and I felt comfortable and able to visit with my friends and enjoy a meal without having to shout over other ambient noises! read more

Good is delicious, authentic and on point. I do recommend ordering a head of time or order takeout, as this restaurant is always busy. Definitely 4+ stars read more

Terrific will be back this small hole in the wall is always good food good service and pretty good prices. I will be back! read more

Walnut Tree Restaurant - Age in and rice - Chinese Near Me - Walnut, California

This place was our "go-to" for a number of years until we began to notice; - "Flexible pricing", the same menu item being charged different prices, depending on who took the order - A reliance on the use of ingredients often prepared days in advance, especially anything with a coating (yuck) - A rundown nasty (as in dirty) restaurant - Noticeably differing portion sizes, again depending on who was doing the cooking - And obvious reliance on the very least costly proteins Unfortunately, the same can be said for virtually every Chinese restaurant in this part LA County read more

I grew up in walnut, and Walnut Tree has been the go to restaurant for Chinese food in my family for years. My Mom went here when she was in high school, I went here when I was in high school, and now in my ripe age of 24 I still frequent this place. My favorite here is the wor wonton soup. I have not tried wonton soup that compares anywhere else. The previous cook "Frank" used to make wonderful dishes. After he retired, the food wasn't the same, but still a great place! This is definitely one of those hole-in-wall type food places, but those are usually the best! read more

Tried their veggie chow mein was awesome little oily but tastes good. Will try other options tooo ..

I come to this restaurant when I am in the mood for chinese food. Going to other restaurants are expensive, going to fast food like Panda Express is just sad... so instead I come here. Walnut Tree is a family owned restaurant. The service is very friendly, portions are large, the price is decent. The food is amazing... just like home. Do not let the appearance of the restaurant fool you. It may be a little hidden, unseen from the main road, the restaurant may look a little dirty, but the food is worth it. There is never a crowd, a good place for a nice peaceful meal with your family. My recommendations - Walnut shrimp. Chow mein with chicken, shrimp. Pot stickers. the Dumpings.. and orange chicken! read more

First time eating here, (well delivery). I read the reviews and the hotel had the menu so I took a shot. I ordered the combo Egg Foo Young, Pork fried rice and pan fried wantons. When I got the order, I thought they made a mistake. The fried rice looked perfect but the egg foo young was in 2 separate containers and looked nothing like I was used too. It took me a few minutes to figure it out. The actual egg foo young omelettes where small, kind of harder drier than I was used too and the actual meat and veggies/gravy was in a separate tub. The fried wantons were actually just fried wontons shells with no meat or cream cheese inside. Anyway you can see the pics. I ate the rice with the meat and veggie gravy mixture and used the wontons as chips but only ate a few bites of the actual egg foo young paddies as they were very dry. Maybe this is the trade way to serve it, I am not sure. Anyway what I did eat was excellent and I would eat there again. read more

I've been coming here for almost 30 years now. And i think i might be done. :/ What used to be a place with the best egg rolls & chow mein in the area. It's continually on a steady decline of quality. The chow mein is overly greasy & resembles what you would find at most fast food chinese food spots that sell food by the combo. Same goes for the egg rolls :( Maybe i'm being too harsh on this place. But i have memories of Walnut Tree being a solid & consistent spot for quality chinese food in the area. This place is begging for an update & a renewed dedication to being a real restaurant with a focus on quality. The service is polite & quick. The portions are generous. And the pricing is very fair . If you're in the area, you can definitely do a lot worse. read more

This place is highly Americanized Chinese food and it's not even good. With so many great authentic Chinese restaurants in the area, avoid this if you're Asian. But if you're not Asian, the food might be acceptable for you (Panda Express type American food). read more

By far the best Won Ton soup around. Broth is extremely tasty and full of Won Tons, Beef, Shrimp and Vegetables. These people do not skimp! Don't forget to order some crispy noodles to go along with your soup! read more

We live less than a mile from this place and it's really great! Definitely a hole in the wall, but the fact that it's not fast food and the people are super friendly, it makes it all the better... The portions are generous and prices more than fair. I recommend the pot stickers - they are fabulous!! Orange chicken says its spicy but definitely tolerable. Also, unlike awful places like Panda Express, the orange chicken is not totally covered in the glaze with a tiny chicken bit in the center, they are large chunks!! read more
