Phoenix, with its sparsely decorated dining room, steaming hot jasmine tea and long menu full of dependably delicious plates of Hong Kong-style and Americanized Chinese cuisine. House special congee, Hainan chicken and a delectable steamed Chilean sea bass in a bath of soy sauce and sesame oil are just three dishes from its hundred item-long menu worth an order when you visit Phoenix Chinatown, where time itself almost seems to stop entirely. Mala—the unique numbing and spicy quality of Sichuan peppers—remains the ultimate name of the game at Mian, a more casual, streamlined restaurant concept from the Chengdu Taste team with locations in West Adams, Artesia, San Gabriel and Rowland Heights. Here, the restaurant’s easily decodable menu (for both spice and numbing level) ensures the heat-averse can rest easy each time they order a bowl of Chongqing-style noodles or pick from the varied selection of hot and cold Chinese appetizers. With locations in Pasadena, Santa Monica, Playa Vista, Sawtelle, Manhattan Beach and Woodhland Hills, Dan Modern Chinese provides fast-casual Chinese food with a level of consistency and convenience that’s conducive to rush hour takeout runs and third-party delivery. While not every item is a winner on the menu, a few standouts—including the pork xiaolongbao, the saucy, garlicky dan mien (served with your choice of protein) and the Dungeness crab fried rice keep us coming back to Dan time and time again.
Sichuan Impression*
You won't get a lot of fuss at this Midtown spot, an offshoot of the original in Duluth. You'll order at the counter and then pick up a paper plate, but what they may lack in niceties, they make up for with dialed-in cooking. Spotlighting the Xi'an region of China, the menu focuses on biang biang noodles and as well as boiled dumplings and dishes featuring plenty of cumin and other spices.

They also have a great dish known as seaweed fish in English. The texture is similar to Japanese tempura, but flakier, and it’s served with a fresh slice of lemon on top. The restaurant is small and has limited seating, but the atmosphere is cozy. They do have 1hr free parking in a garage, you pay first then use a code. Service was good, there was only one guy working at the front and he was struggling because it was so busy. I feel like there should’ve been at least two people working.

Dan Modern Chinese*
Along with cast-iron teapots full of steaming jasmine tea, Lunasia Chinese Cuisine serves their famous steamed and baked bites including giant pork shumai, plump har gow and fluffy BBQ pork buns. You’d be remiss not to try the dim sum house’s dessert offerings as well, like the almond milk tea, a show-stopping dish of hot, sweet almond milk covered by a flaky puff pastry top. You won’t find the traditional push carts, but it’s always an energetic scene filled with families, friends and dates. There are newer locations in Pasadena, Cerritos and Torrance with slightly smaller menus, if you’re just looking for a quick dim sum hit.
This Shanghainese institution with locations in Chinatown, Pasadena, Monterey Park, Alhambra and the City of Industry is known for its fantastic soup dumpling and array of casual dishes. Both their crab and pork-stuffed varieties are top-sellers. The skin is nicely supple but tough enough to hold the ball of meat and surrounding soup without easily tearing.
Though its name might conjure up images of New England lobster rolls, this small Vietnamese-Chinese SGV strip mall spot sells the most incredible fresh stir-fried lobster with green onion and garlic in town, all on top of a bed of noodles. Those in search of a deal will also appreciate their affordable lunchtime specials menu. Institution’s original Chinatown location dates back to 1965, although you can now find 12 other sleeker outposts specializing in fast-casual meals and dessert scattered across the San Gabriel Valley.
Having operated in the area for over 20 years, Kang Kang Food Court has drawn the likes of celebrity Momofuku chef David Chang through its doors for its piping hot, juicy deep-fried soup dumplings. However, the rest of its menu is full of quieter delights, like a mini shrimp wonton soup and Suzhou-style fresh pork mooncakes, that keep locals in the know coming back time and time again. Restaurants build upon familiar options such as mapo tofu and kung pao chicken, and feature harder-to-find items like mung bean jelly tossed in chili oil; wok-fried crab; and the “party in a pot” Leshan bobo chicken pot. Somewhat of a rarity among other Sichuan restaurants in town, Sichuan Impression also offers desserts, including a brown sugar rice cake, and pumpkin mochi wrapped around red bean paste.
My faves were the lamb cumin noodles and egg and tomato noodles. Dim sum, dumplings, hot pot—whatever you’re in the mood for, these standout Chinese restaurants are calling your name. After hitting up one of L.A.’s best Chinese restaurants, check out these sweet spots. With a new minimalist-chic look and roomy dining room, Urban Hai (from the owners of Hai Authentic Cuisine in Decatur and Urban Wu in Buckhead) takes over the BurgerFi space in Midtown with a lengthy menu of mostly Sichuan-style dishes.
For a Cheesecake Factory-size menu of pan-Asian foods, West Midtown's Food Terminal is your stop. Sign up for our email to enjoy Los Angeles without spending a thing (as well as some options when you’re feeling flush). Happened upon this spot looking for dinner while wandering about with my family. We wish there was one in our area bc we would eat there frequently. Non-members can add the privileges at checkout through our 30 day free trial, cancellable at anytime.
Noodles are the way to go, though it’s never a bad idea to supplement with the boldly flavorful cucumber salad, and there must be dumplings, of course. Here, they are available on their own or with soup. Choose from pork and lamb and then tuck in to a baker's dozen of simply boiled treats served with a house-made dipping sauce that brings them alive. This sprawling restaurant in Alhambra offers refined made-to-order dim sum all day, every day.
They come in a hefty order of a dozen or so, and you can either get them “dry” (boiled and served with a side of dipping sauce) or in a spicy/sour noodle soup, which will clear your sinuses in a second. The dining area is small, so most people come here for takeout orders (you can get validated one-hour parking in The Mark garage). Look for the validation code on the menu board, then look for us, stuffing our faces. Famous across the Southland for their shengjianbao (pan-fried Shanghainese soup dumplings), this casual, cash-only takeout spot with locations in Monterey Park and Alhambra sells a wide, affordable array of Chinese cuisine.
