Restaurants near Cesar Chavez Park

The food was incredible. You can really tell what’s made in house. None of that overly sweet or overly processed flavor you get at nearly Chinese restaurants in the area. We had the appetizer combination, the Brady fried chicken, the Immigrant beef, and the banana cream pie. We also ordered the Mai Thai and the Chamborita. The only issue was the Chamborita was a bit small. Don’t miss out on the pie. No imitation banana flavored pudding here. It’s loaded with real fruit, maybe a little bit of custard, and topped with a mound of whipped cream. The crust was so crispy too! Best pie I’ve ever had, and I tend to be a baked-fruit pie person. The servers and bussers were on point. It was Chinese food with a fine dining flair. But it never made us feel like it place was stuffy, like a lot of fine dining places can feel. I loved the history of the location too. It’s amazing the restaurant has been in the same family and operating for over 80 years. The manager came by to check on us and we were pretty sure one of the Fat’s family members did too. I can’t believe I’ve lived around this area off and on for 30 years, but have never been here. It’s a new favorite! We will definitely be back!

Consistent high quality experience. Service is exceptional and food is very good. The staff do a great job for theatre goers. Only negative was that the portion size of the halibut special was very modest.

Ella is the place to go for a fine dining experience! Attentive wait staff and excellent menu choices!

We needed to get to a performance so our waitress and staff took our drink and food orders together and everything just clicked perfectly. We didn’t have to hurry and thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

This was my first time at the restaurant. I see why Echo and Rig got many 5 start ratings. The service was top notch. All three of us loved our food. I really like the entire space. We will be back and tell our friends of the wonderful experience we had.
