The 18 Best Restaurants In LA’s Chinatown - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Yang Chow is a Chinatown classic. After leaving Hong Kong in 1977, five brothers opened Yang Chow, a Mandarin and Cantonese restaurant named after their hometown. The restaurant still functions as a casual, communal spot where families gather over lazy susans loaded with shrimp toast, egg drop soup, and pan-fried noodles (they've also expanded with locations in Pasadena and Long Beach). Almost everyone here orders the slippery shrimp, and you should too. It’s a deep-fried concoction made with garlic, ginger, and yes, a little ketchup. How else would they get that perfect, deep orange color?" - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
