Best Chinese Restaurants in Mid-City

Such a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful staff, and consistently excellent food. I’ve been dining there for 25 years. The best Chinese chicken salad, delectable duck pancakes/crepes, crab cakes, vegetable rice, beef, and dessert! Our server Cheryl was superb!

Had a great experience at Mr Chow. Everything was perfect. It’s expensive but considering its location and the quality of the food and service, for a special occasion it was worth it.

This is an surprising and amazing outpost of excellent Chinese cuisine in a large region of LA that specializes in mediocre Chinese fare. We started with Peking Duck Quoe Tehr and Sesame Tofu Cubes. Sesame Tofu cubes were very good (A-), while the Quoe Tehr had a truly unexpected and wonderful flavor balance of rich Peking Duck, sauce and covering (A). For our main course, we had Hometown Braised Tofu and Snowbass on Black Sauce. Although I have had many Chinese meals in large cities in China, I have never had a meal in a smaller town there. The Hometown Braised Tofu tasted so wonderfully "country" that I could almost feel myself eating it in a small village. Tofu perfectly braised with a mixture of mushrooms, bamboo shoots and bok choy (A). The Snowbass was both an artistic and taste "piece de resistance". Perfectly cooked very white fish, on a bed of perfectly balanced complex black sauce. (A+). The best dish I have had anywhere in a restaurant in a long time! Service was prompt and attentive. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. Inexplicably, the small restaurant was empty except for us on a week night. If you like sophisticated delicious Chinese food at a very reasonable price, you should put this on your list.

The lunch deal is an incredible value. Choice of three soups including a great hot and sour soup, two spring rolls, and half a Chinese Chicken Salad! They were accommodating about no wontons and extra crispy white noodles instead, and Chinese hot mustard and sesame oil on the side. Very good black iced tea too. Nice view from the comfortable booths.

Tasty generous portions, we had the lunch specials and they were large. You could have gotten two specials and easily fed three people.
