    Wow! Woon is such a hidden gem! So mad that i've hadn't make it in sooner. Star of the night was the Beef Noodles! The texture was perfect, i'm sure they were hand pulled. It had a chewy bite with chunks of beef. Dreaming about these Noods! Second were the Wings. So crispy and flavorful with the 5 Spice. Honorable mention was the Scallion Pancake! Light and airy but crispy. That dipping sauce was addicting, i dipped my wings in it too. Def gonna come back ASAP. Staff was super friendly with a Chill vibe. You order and pay for your food then find inside or outdoor seating. Street parking and cards are accepted.

    Let's be honest. This is NOt by any stretch of any imagination a Taiwanese noodle shop... Yes, I can order "Taiwan" beer, yes, I can order Gai Lan, that taste ok... but noodles? Dry, undercooked, beef came with a smell of burnt... Am no Chinese cuisine expert (well...) but this is a cool trendy place, for trendy people, who claim they ate Chinese cuisine... Ambiance is great (if you like the LA scene), and service is impeccable and super friendly... Just the food ain't up to snuff....

    Truthfully, I don't think woon is a must try. I think the portions are a bit small for their price and there weren't any distinct flavors that set these apart from a traditional Chinese restaurant-- I would even add that it's lacking. However, if I'm not comparing, then I would say the pork belly from the rice dish was really tender and melt in your mouth. You order at the counter and the food comes, so you don't really need to engage with the staff aside from that. The space is cute and cozy-- it felt like a dimly lit house kitchen!

    Food is very well seasoned. I really enjoyed the texture of the chewy noodles and the wings are prepped well. The fried rice is less flavorful but I enjoy the mix of black rice within the rice. Service is minimal since you order and then sit down

    Scallion Pancake Beef Roll

    Quick service and yummy food. Solid beef noodles and their scallion pancake beef roll was so crispy with lots of veggies! Love the homey interior vibes. Looking forward to going back to try some dinner items.

    TLDR: 4/5. For the amount of people we had, the portions were actually fairly good. Tasty overall, super attentive staff, small space but lovely vibe and sizeable outdoor area. Finally made it to Woon and I swoon!! Because this place is small we booked a reservation (8 ppl) ahead of time. Otherwise it could be tough without one depending on the size. Ordered: Scallion Pancake: 5/5 - I mean what is there to say, has a scallion pancake ever let me down? The fluffiness, the crisp, the butteriness, the dipping sauce. Finger licking good. Mama's Five Spice Chicken Wings: 3.7/5 - I'm pretty picky about my wings. With said don't get me wrong these are good but I just think it has the potential to really hit new limits. The seasoning could've been heavier but I do think this is a good app option. Spicy "Mouthwatering" Tofu: 4/5 - When a tofu is prepared right it can transform a dish. The marinade on this was nice and flavorful, but not too spicy for me, just a good heat. Pork Belly Bao - 3.8/5 - I wanted the pork belly to be a little more tender. It was a tad on the drier side. Otherwise this was a great mix of ingredients to have in a bao bun. Veggie Fried Rice & Pork Fried Rice - 4/5: With or without meat I thought these were both solid. Good amount too so great for the table. Veggie & Beef Noodles - I'll actually have to give it to the veggie noodles on this one! The beef ones were good but I felt like the beef itself was also a little on the dry side? I love this kind of noodle though. I also thought the veggie was slightly more flavorful. Service: 5/5 Everything came out super quickly but also well paced? As I said the staff were attentive. Vibes: 5/5 The evening was more of a moody vibe but it was perfect to me. I love that you can see them cooking in the front. The noise level was perfect with some good tunes. The outside has a good amount of stool seating with heaters in case its chilly. Parking is street and neighborhood but it could be a bit of a mission. Until next time!

    A must-try spot for elevated Asian comfort food! This is a quick-service restaurant (order at the front then find a seat) with a cozy yet modern aesthetic. Arrived at 6pm on a Monday and there was no wait + plenty of seating. Ordered the wings, pork belly over rice, beef noodle, and scallion pancakes. These were shared among 2 people and we both left stuffed AND had food left over! The star of the show for me was 100% the beef noodles - the al dente handmade noodles absorb the umami flavor of the tender beef and sauce. What more do you need in this life?? This is not to say the other dishes were not good, though, because everything we ordered was delicious! Special shoutout to the pork belly - the fat was so buttery, it just melts in your mouth. The wings and scallion pancakes were perfectly crispy. Can't wait to come back soooon!

    Good people, good food, and good music. My first time at Woon was their anniversary party, and they had this special hot dog with crunchy bits on top--ridiculous in the best way. That's the thing with this spot: you have to follow them. They're always doing specials and pop-up collabs, and if you're not paying attention, you'll miss the good stuff. It's a small space with seating inside and out. Quick-serve style, which means you wait in line... often behind people who somehow don't look at the menu until they're standing at the register. Don't be that person. Grab a menu, decide before you get up there. You can even check the fridge while you're waiting and get your drink plan together. Realistically, everyone orders the same hits for a reason: chicken wings, beef noodles, plus whatever special or pop-up item they've got going. You genuinely can't go wrong--everything is solid. Pro tip: get the sake. It's house-made, comes as a whole jug, and costs less than a glass of wine. Easy win. Bonus points for the vibes: they post their playlists on Spotify, and they donate to charities, which matters right now. Woon is the kind of place that rewards repeat visits--and attention.

    Really wanted to love this place because it's so cute, but was left disappointed because of the food. This is coming from a Chinese person, so I may have had higher expectations. Although this is a self-seating restaurant, the staff is super friendly and attentive. The line out the door was intimidating, but surprisingly went by really quickly!

    Absolutely delicious food in a beautiful environment. We tried the beef noddles, chicken wings, and the scallion pancakes. The wings were perfectly crispy, and the beef noodles were maybe the best I've ever had. The scallion pancakes were also delicious. We came at the perfect time, near sunset, so the lighting was perfect. The decor was minimal but stunning. Will definitely come back to try more next time I'm in LA!

    Frice rice was reminiscent of Japanese chahan and wings were crispy, tender, and juicy. Noodles were a little too chewy to the point where it felt undercooked (from someone that loves chewy noodles). Scallion pancake was just plain crispy dough with no flavor or chew. Bean curd was shockingly dry in the cucumber salad. Everything was a little overseasoned (too salty and to sour). Portions felt small but we left satiated and didn't pay an outragoeus amount of money. Barely anyone there was Asian but the population was largely millenial.

    This location is a neighborhood favorite, packed from open to close and for good reason. YOU MUST ORDER THE NOODLES. They are charred, umami, and have a kind of chew that you will not be able to stop thinking about.  Everything else that I tried was alright. The scallion pancakes were lackluster and overpriced. The pork bao buns were good, but unbalanced. The pork belly was soft and the pickles offered a nice tang, but the bite lacked an overall sweetness that would have helped round out the dish.  The ambience is nice, with small tables, short chairs, and tight spacing. It is a very homey feel. Parking is plentiful in the surrounding neighborhoods as well.

    vegan tofu bao
    Roxanne C.

    Wanted to grab some chinese food, so we checked out Woon due to all the online hype! Vegan tofu bao (3/5): I enjoyed this dish the most. I found the pickles overwhelming in terms of flavor, but i enjoyed the tofu and bao itself. The tofu was soft and marinated well. Veggie noodles (2/5): The noodles were way too hard. The flavoring is okay, nothing special. I wouldn't crave this dish or want to come back for it. Just an average noodle dish. Street parking and a small lot available. You order first then sit down and wait with your number. Service is very fast. Inside the restaurant, there's some cute asian inspired decor.

It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity.

Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

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.
