Found this gem while visiting LA! Got the fried noodle special, egg drop soup (for 2), and and the orange chicken special. The orange chicken was super crispy (small bites) and tangy, egg drop soup was piping hot and fresh (perfect egg and soup consistency). And the pan fried noodles had great crunch and then mixed with the sauce it became more savory. I think the orange chicken was my favorite because the batter wasn’t super thick with flour and it was small chicken bites that were lightly coated and then fried, which made it taste perfect. The owner I believe checked in on us which was really awesome! The food came out very quick and fast, and it was hot! Super delicious. Would come back again! There is valet parking in the back, and you just need to bring the ticket to the restaurant for validation.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. On the positive side, the service was incredibly fast—we received our food in less than 15 minutes. However, the staff needs to be much more patient and attentive. I tried to ask for hot sauce, but the server walked away before I could even finish my sentence. ​While the Chicken Chow Mein was fine, I am extremely concerned about the Sweet and Sour Pork Chops. As shown in the photos I’ve attached, the meat was distinctly pink and undercooked in the middle. I didn't notice while eating at the table because I was hungry, but seeing this in my leftovers has me genuinely worried I might get sick. The kitchen really needs to be more careful with their cooking temperatures for safety. I won't be returning👎

Decided to go Chinatown and eat here because of good reviews. Was seated immediately, we are a group of 8. Our server has a bit of difficulty speaking english when we ask questions but the serving is huge. We ended up ordering plenty because of the misunderstanding that each order is good for one when it fact, it is a platter. From the soup, to rice, to everything is huge portion so keep that in mind. The location is not very far from $7 parking garage, used to be $5. Pretty easy to find. If you are looking for good Chinese food, this is your place. Ambiance is so so but we did not mind since all we did was talk. We liked everything, I particularly liked the Slippery Shrimp, Braised Tofu (a hint of spice) and Pork Chop. The Duck is kinda dry.

I’ve been coming to Yang Chow in Chinatown for about 9 years now, and every single visit reminds me why this place is such a classic Los Angeles spot. Over the years, this restaurant has become more than just somewhere to eat—it’s become part of my routine for celebrating wins in life and business. Whenever my team and I closed a big deal or had a major accomplishment, Yang Chow was always one of the first places that came to mind to celebrate. There’s just something about the tradition of sitting down here after a successful day, ordering great Chinese food, and enjoying the atmosphere that makes it feel special every time. Today was a little different because I came by myself, but honestly it was still a great experience. Sometimes you just need a place where you can sit down, relax, and enjoy a great meal—and Yang Chow is perfect for that. The restaurant has that classic Chinatown vibe that feels authentic and welcoming. Walking in, you immediately notice the walls filled with photos and memories, which really shows how much history this place has in Los Angeles. The dining room is cozy and comfortable, with simple tables and that old-school Chinese restaurant feel that makes it feel timeless. It’s not trying to be trendy or over-the-top—it’s just focused on doing what it does best: serving amazing Chinese food consistently. The food here has always been the highlight for me. Everything comes out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can tell the kitchen has been perfecting these recipes for years. The portions are generous and the quality is always consistent, which is one of the main reasons I keep coming back year after year. Another thing I appreciate is how efficient everything runs. Even when the restaurant gets busy, the staff keeps things moving smoothly. Food comes out quickly, and the service has always been friendly and professional. For me, Yang Chow is more than just a restaurant in Chinatown—it’s a place connected to memories. From celebrating big wins with my team to stopping by for a solo meal like today, it’s always been a reliable spot for some of the best Chinese food in Los Angeles. After nearly a decade of coming here, I can confidently say it’s one of those places that never disappoints. If you’re in Chinatown and want authentic Chinese food with a long-standing reputation, Yang Chow is definitely a must-visit. I’ll definitely keep the tradition going and will be back again soon. 🍜🔥 I’ve been coming to Yang Chow in Chinatown for almost 9 years now, and it’s one of those restaurants that has truly stood the test of time for me. Every time I’m in the area and craving authentic Chinese food, this is always one of my go-to spots in Los Angeles. Over the years, Yang Chow has been part of many great memories for me. I used to come here often with my team whenever we had something to celebrate—whether it was closing a big deal, completing a major order, or just having a successful week.

Today I actually stopped by alone just to grab a meal, and it reminded me how much I enjoy this place even when I’m not with a group. Sometimes it’s nice to just sit down, relax, and enjoy some good food without being in a rush. The environment inside the restaurant has that classic Chinatown feel, with photos on the walls and a lot of history behind the place. Another thing that stands out is how efficient the service is.

Man.... a very rare find, true 5-star all around: the food, the service, the atmosphere AND the pricing.... Visiting LA from GA, i stopped by for late lunch... and thank God it was late lunch, otherwise I wouldn't have even gotten in!!! Yes, it was still almost full and since I went alone I felt bad I would take up one of their tables!!!! Okay, I am not trying to be racist, but i have encountered many, including Koreans, old cranky Asian ladies(usually owners), but not this one, from the beginning the classy lady was very kind and didn't mind giving me a table even though I went there alone. Boy, that was only the beginning; the entire staff was so nice, not just my waiter, everyone, really!!!! And Benny, I think the manager, came over a couple of times to check up on me, a table for ONE!!! Moreover, their signature Slippery Shirmp was excellent, on-point, crunch and with delicious flavors.... Wait, there is more: thw price was soooooo reasonable, especially in this inflation age, I could not believe it, with very generous portion as well. How can I not give the 5-star for this wonderful restaurant 😍, it actually deserves 7-star if such thing existed. I am certainly stopping by this restaurant whenever I am in town to try other menu items, and i will definitely recommend to my friends in the area.... EXCELLENT food and IMPRESSIVE service, thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
