The 20 Best Chinese Restaurants In Los Angeles

" If there was an SGV Hall of Fame, Newport Seafood would have had its jersey hung from the rafters decades ago. This upscale Cantonese seafood spot has seen more birthdays, wedding banquets, and graduation celebrations than all the for-hire clowns in Southern California, and it’s still the place to mark a grand occasion with a table packed with fantastic seafood, stir-fries, and rice dishes. Just make sure the house special lobster is part of your order—wok-fried, weighing at least four pounds, and smothered in scallions, jalapeño, ginger, and butter, you’ll see it on every single table. Shellfish aside, the peppery, slightly sweet beef lak lok is a winner, too." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder
