Good Alley

The Best New Restaurants in Los Angeles According to Eater Editors, March 2025

"The San Gabriel Valley will never tire of great dumplings, and this latest entrant from the owners behind Ji Rong Duck House plays the part well. Good Alley goes into a strip mall slot serving a range of pleated soup-filled dumplings in the style of Henan, a good 400 miles from Beijing in inner China. Other dishes include beef noodle soup, beef rolls, cauliflower dry pot, and clay pot pork with pickled cabbage. The chic ambience lined with traditional paintings and latticed lanterns could be plucked out of a fashionable district in any large Chinese city. — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes
