The Best Chinese Restaurants in Los Angeles

"Yunnan Restaurant is an SGV institution that has been around for decades and is best known for its “crossing the bridge” noodles that are big enough for two people. The server will bring over a piping-hot broth made from chicken stock with a rich layer of fat on top and a plate filled with toppings like chicken, quail eggs, ham, bean curd sheets, chives, mushrooms, and seasonal vegetables. Fresh rice noodles are served on the side. Diners can choose to have the dish prepared by a staffer or to DIY using the heat of the broth to cook the ingredients. Don’t miss out on the cold dish table at the front of the restaurant where diners can mix and match up to three items per order. The marinated seaweed, cold beef slices, cucumbers, and pork slices are solid. Other popular menu items include the lamb pot dry roast, water-boiled beef, and crispy rice." - Kristie Hang
