Golden Tree Restaurant

It was a very good experience — minimalist, with excellent flavors, big portions, and fair prices. The service was very kind and welcoming! We love the experience to try the hot tea!! #depaseoysabor

A restaurant at the entrance to the Chinatown Gate. The service is quick and timely. We ordered our plates and received our meals in a timely manner. The whole meal is delicious. We filled our stomach to our hearts content. Highly Recommended for any lovers to Chinese Food.

Really friendly service, was very quick and the food was great. We got in around 11:50~ right before lunch rush and it was pretty quiet. When the lunch rush hit, it was still easy to talk and wasn't super loud. Definitely recommend trying this place out, I'm sure there's something you'll like!

The type of local Chinese that every area should have. The food was super tasty and the portions were huge that we even took take away. The noodles with vegetables never go wrong and the orange chicken was amazing, not too sweet not too salty the perfect flavour to eat with plain rice . Very good service , amazing food and super cheap prices !

Food tasted great. The service was quick and our food came out pretty fast. I only wish the Kung-Pao Chicken was cut in smaller pieces for easier bites.

I moved to downtown Los Angeles about a year ago and have been searching for a solid local Chinese restaurant. Golden Tree quickly stood out—the food is absolutely amazing, and the portions are incredibly generous. It’s rare to see servings like this nowadays, and the restaurant itself feels authentic and very clean. Unfortunately, the service tells a very different story. On both of my visits, the restaurant opened late, despite posted hours saying 5:00 p.m. Even after unlocking the doors, the cashier left the “closed” sign up and did not invite customers in. On my first visit, when I expressed excitement about trying the restaurant, I was met with rudeness—my questions were brushed off, the menu was thrown on the counter, and my order was taken in a dismissive, interrupting manner. I decided to give the restaurant another chance. Today, I had to call from outside to confirm they were even open, despite standing right in front of the door. After finally being allowed in, I placed my order and waited 25 minutes—only to realize my food had been ready without anyone letting me know. When I politely asked about it, the cashier raised his voice at me in front of other customers, claiming he was “too busy.” Meanwhile, people who arrived after me had already been served. Here’s my takeaway: Golden Tree delivers excellent food with portions that are hard to beat, but the service is consistently unprofessional, rude, and careless. For me, the poor treatment outweighs the good food. Sadly, I won’t be returning, even though I would have happily been a weekly customer.

Was in the area and I was craving Chinese food so I drove through Chinatown & after driving in circles a few times I decided to visit this restaurant. & let me say, I’m thankful I did. Food was amazing! Service was great, and you get a bang for your buck! Good portions that can feed multiple people & good menu selection to choose from. Most importantly the place was clean! Definitely going back. Oh & $5 parking lot compared to $15-$40 in the surrounding area, which is why I stumbled upon this place.

First time! All I can say is super delicious! Service was fast and the location is very spacious. Love that they are not stingy with the miso soup! So much tofu and seaweed. My favorite! Shrimp Chow Main for my hubby and he absolutely loved it.. will be back!

Golden Tree Restaurant is my new go-to spot in Koreatown! First off, let's talk about the food. I ordered the shrimp fried rice, and let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! Each bite was packed with juicy shrimp and perfectly seasoned rice. I'm still dreaming about it. The service here is fantastic too. From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. And the ambiance? Just right. It's got this cozy yet vibrant vibe that's perfect for a chill night out or even a cute date night. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

i was craving some chow fun and seeing as many other places were closed early, i decided to give this place a try. the staff seemed a bit inattentive at first but they might have been busy with togo orders. the prices here are great and the portions are even better. i ordered the chow fun with beef and the garlic edamame. both items were 10/10

Well lit. Clean. I didn't actually dine in on this visit, I ordered to go. But based off of what I saw, I wouldn't mind coming back to dine in. The employees were nice and accommodating. My food came out very quickly and hot. It was still hot by the time I got home. I ordered the l Orange chicken and Yang Chow Fried Rice. I really enjoyed the fact that the chicken & beef were diced up, instead of in big chunks. The orange chicken was saucy and crispy. Next time I will go up on the spice level.

Nestled in the heart of Chinatown, Golden Tree Restaurant is a hidden gem that offers a taste of authentic Cantonese cuisine. While the exterior might not be fancy, step inside and be transported to a bustling atmosphere filled with delicious aromas and friendly service. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. You can easily enjoy a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. On my last visit, I shared with a friend wonton soup, shrimp fried rice and mapo tofu. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The restaurant is small and can get quite crowded, especially on weekends so prepared for a wait. Parking in Chinatown can also be tricky.

Great food!! Great hot sauce! Service is always awesome! I make sure to visit this place whenever I'm in town!

This is a great spot to satisfy that hunger need. For starters, you need to try their Seven-Flavored Lamb Chops which is flavorful and delicious. The dish comes with four pieces and generous portions. The spice is just right and you will not be disappointed. Another dish you need to try would be their Braised String Beans which has the right heat to provide that kick. The Shanghai Lo Mein noodles are an additional treat to add to your order. The staff is friendly and very helpful. They will answer any of your questions as well as provide great suggestions if you are wondering what to order. Parking is in the lot next door for five dollars. After a 10pm it's free.

Located in Chinatown you'll find this gem. Don't get me wrong there are tons of delicious food in Chinatown, but this one has to be a spot to try. I was not disappointed in the food as I ordered for pick up. There are so many choices of authentic dishes to choose from. My husband and I ordered - Mongolian beef - Calamari (the orange sauce it came with was a chef's kiss) - Honey walnut shrimp - Chinese broccoli sautéed in garlic - Seafood fried rice. Everything was so delicious and satisfying. They're open late so for you all with late night munchies this is worth trying even if it's for pickup or delivery (via Uber eats) 10/10 recommend!

Easily 5 stars! Fast service and great food! Grilled short ribs were DELICIOUS 10/10 Double Kung Pao was DELICIOUS as well 10/10 Chicken chowmein 10/10 Black Pepper Beef Mignon 10/10 Lemon Chicken was the only thing that didn't do it for me but everything else was very exceptional! Can't wait to come back!

Excellent food in the heart of Chinatown. Staff moves fast and efficiently. Don't ask for duck sauce:)

My go to place for Chinese food when I'm in the city. I've eaten about twice inside, the staff is always super nice. There is not much to the restaurant while dining in, but the food is absolutely delicious. I do takeout more often than anything here, wether its pickup or a delivery service and I've never had an issue, food is always packaged and portioned well. I really enjoy the food here!

We visited here after a long day of traveling and we were starving!! It was pretty empty when we got there, but people started coming in for both sit down and pickup orders. The servings are proportioned to share!!! We didn't know and ordered a ton of food lol!! We ordered their short ribs, pan-fried dumplings, shrimp fried rice, spicy garlic chicken with broccoli, wonton soup, and shrimp with asparagus. There were three of us before you judge lol!! The food was delicious and left with plenty of leftovers. The only thing that could've been better was the service. They were nice, but they never took our drink order and sparingly checked in to see if we needed anything. A plus for the service is that they box it up for you. I really appreciated that.

I have been here a few times in the last couple months and service is always quick. The servers are friendly and food is delicious. They have many options to choose from whether you're looking for vegetarian or meat dishes. My favorite dishes are the Mongolian Beef and the Yang Chow Fried Rice.

Was in downtown at an art exhibit and had a hankering for some Chinese but also wanted to drive home to eat. Checked Yelp, made our order for pick up and swung by on our way to the freeway. 30 minutes later we are home and grubbing. Food delightful and satisfying. Went very American- kung pao chicken, beef broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, mixed fried rice and egg rolls. Price - higher but within reason and a value for the quality. All dishes were meeting or beating expectations. My one note was the egg rolls were soggy but all my fault for the drive time and not opening the box for the condensation to rise. If I lived in DTLA this would be our go to.

I've struggled to find a good Chinese restaurant in LA. I think I finally found gold!!! I had the short ribs which were fall of the bone with sweetness delicious!!! They come with a fried green bean base so don't be zealous like me and order a side of green beans hahahaha I also had the cucumber salad and it was so refreshing!! I thought it was going to be spicy because of the chili flakes in the sweet sauce but it was not spicy at all. The winning dish is their shrimp fried rice though!!! It came with SO much JUMBO shrimp. I literally had three servings in one order. The rice wasn't overdone and tasted real fresh even though I ordered after 9pm. I can't wait to share this gem with friends and family. It even held well in my Doordash order!!! Highly recommend this Chinatown Chinese restaurant.

I found a place super close to work in the heart of Chinatown they do have a small parking lot to park. As soon as you walk in you are greeted and they provide you with a small metal kettle with jasmine tea. It's not a fancy restaurant but the food makes up for it. A great place to come for lunch with the fam or with friends. They have the circle tables where you can spin to easily share food.

This was honestly one of the best Chinese restaurants I've eaten at in a long time!!! The customer service was on point, and everyone was very friendly

Love golden tree! A staple. Great delivery. Comes hot and delicious. 10/10 recommend!

This restaurant is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Chinatown. The ambiance is cozy, adorned with traditional Chinese decor that adds to the dining experience. The menu boasts an extensive array of authentic dishes that cater to various tastes. Their Peking duck is a must-try--crispy skin, succulent meat, and served with perfectly crafted dumplings. The service is attentive, ensuring a delightful dining journey. Overall, a fantastic spot to savor delicious Chinese cuisine! Highly recommended! ---

Best late night eats in Chinatown. Quick service with excellent food and a clean dinning room.

This is the best Chinese restaurant I've had. We tried several dishes and everything was good!! I really like their orange chicken! It was crispy, flavorful, & not greasy. I don't know how they do it but it was delicious. This place is a must try and they are open late!

Too many choices! Everything looked so good! Went here to try for the first time for my bday dinner. I tried the Shrimp with Asparagus in I think a black bean sauce. My friend tried the Mongolian Beef . Then we also got the Yang Chow Fried Rice. Our server was nice and helped my friend out w choosing between Short Ribs and the Mongolian Beef by letting him know the Short Ribs were sweeter and the Mongolian Beef had a little spice to it. When we got there nobody was there since they had just opened up at 5p so it was real nice and very chill . It was quiet too with tv in the background. Parking was $5 on a Tuesday night. I would order my Shrimp with Asparagus again, but definitely order more and try new dishes for sure.

Great find after we got turned away from Lasita up the street Absolutely delish late night spot in Chinatown. The flavors were familiar but refined! The servers were kind and attentive. Definitely coming back for the food and the vibes.

The honey walnut shrimp was really good, it's heavier on the citrus/lemon side if you like that. Not to overly sweet and walnuts candied just right. The white rice was enough for two I definitely didn't need to order two. The garlic edamame was good and flavorful. I got it delivered on DoorDash so I have no comments on the service or ambience. But the pad Thai had absolutely no flavor, they definitely needed to add more sauce. I have a low bar of pad Thai I love ALL pad Thai but this one was really bad. It just lacked flavor, you could taste the small hint of pad Thai sauce but genuinely just like a pile of boiled rice noodles and peanuts. Also it doesn't come with bean sprouts which I was happy about I forgot to order no bean sprouts and it ended up not having it anyways. Overall everything was good expect the pad Thai.

Really great food and service! Love going here whenever I'm in La! Always fresh and delicious

Yes this is a must visit in LA Chinatown. The seven season lamb chops were tender, flavorful and all we could say was wow. With the Spicy garlic eggplant and vegetable fried rice...you can't go wrong. Come check them out!

We used to like this place but now service went down and also food taste. We used to love their cubed beef steak and chicken wings. Also they raised the price last year, making it less attractive.

The food was really good and the service was fast and friendly. I can't wait to come back and try something else.

WOW!! Hands down best Chinese food I've had in a long time. Our new go to Chinese food joint. Food was very fresh, tasty, not greasy. Friendly service and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back.

The food was amazing! Loved the Orange Chicken and the LoMein. The server was super helpful and kind. Would definitely go back!

All our dishes were tasty and not greasy. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was well-lit and clean. It's a good spot to recommend for lunch and dinner.

This place was honestly so perfect. I was craving some food and this place had everything I could crave for. We ordered Vegetable fried rice, vegatable egg rolls, garlic edamame, and the chili garlic wings. The fried rice was so flavorful and delicious, the vegetable rolls were so crispy and sweet, the sauce that came with it was so yummy. Unfortunately the chili garlic wings were a little too dry and not as flavorful as I was hoping. But the meal as a whole was so filling and tasty. The ambience of the place is definitely on the quieter side but in a nice calming way. The service was quick, we got seated right away and ate right away. Our waiters were very attentive and courteous. We will definitely be coming back here as soon as we crave some yummy food.

Great value for classic late night Chinese Takeout. Ordered Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and Pork Dumplings and got a chicken Lo Mien for fee with a promotion through delivery app (I forget which). Point is I spend, like, $38 and it fed me and my bf for 3 days and we were full each time. They use 5"x8" containers and pack them full! Best meal I bought this week for sure! Those big portions are what made me write this in the first place. ...and I still have some chicken left too! Also the food is really good. Orange chicken was close enough to sweet&sour chicken to kick the craving, the Beef was rich and cooked perfect, and the noodles were perfect for dumping soy sauce on (which they clearly expect you to do). OMG so good...if you're a fan of classic American Chinese. Which I am. Happy enough to order from them again. Next time I'll branch out and try something less basic because I'm confident it will be good. A+ just like their heath code rating

Good flavor, must try is black pepper beef mignon. The pork chop is also tasty. The restaurant has house tea served.

I brought in 3 students for lunch to do a restaurant review writing assignment. I'd expected the walls to be bare again and was pleasantly surprised that pictures of dishes, spelled correctly, were tacked on the wall! Finally! Nice. Our 3 favorite dishes were the signature honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef and fresh, tender Chinese broccoli (gai-lan) with oyster sauce. We had the Double Kung Pao with chicken and shrimp. I thought the chicken could've been more tender. We also had the Shanghai lo mein chicken with bits of chicken. Food came out quickly. Great service from our one server. Quiet, nice ambience. A running video on a TV screen of a woman in China making a house and cooking in a village was awe inspiring and interesting. Fortune cookies for dessert. $5 parking next door or street parking. I'll be back!

There's a lot of choices in Chinatown but Golden Tree is my go-to place when im craving for Chinese food. The Honey Walnut Shrimp and flat noodles with beef and veggies are my top two favorites! Will definitely come back and order again!

Nice little spot. I'd give the food a solid 3.5 rating, and the service a 4. The waitresses were really sweet, and fast/attentive. Our food came out within 5 minutes and was piping hot. The prices and serving sizes were decent too. This wasn't my favorite restaurant in Chinatown, but the service more than made up for it. :)

Although the food is quite good, the lady at FOH has the most abrasive attitude. If you're not Chinese it's apparently a problem for her. She was terribly rude and scowled through the entire interaction. Some people are just miserable, will not be returning.

We love Jack! Always very helpful. Genuinely grateful My husband loves taking us here great food and environment. Can't wait to go back!

Jack was amazing. Food is always 5 stars and me living a block away makes this my go to restaurant. The crispy wings are my favorite!

Good Chinese food Great for take out Get the pork chops Filet mignon m Rice is a little dry but you can get the wonton for the rice

Amazing place. Food is incredibly delicious. Staff is super pleasant. And super cheap for what you get. Parking I believe is just street parking or you can park in the public lots throughout the area. Plus after you can walk around and see what people are selling on the sidewalks. Oh and the waitress told us that the cook is from Shanghai (I believe that's what she said) so this can't be more authentic Chinese food. Highly recommend this place! Ambiance is quiet but probably because it wasn't too busy when we came down. A lot of to-go orders were being served. This place is amazing.

food was great in person! they didn't shy away from the amount of shrimp. the broccoli in the spicy garlic shrimp was seasoned well which is rare. slightly on the pricey side. service was quick and nice. the restaurant and bathroom were clean! will be going again.

New restaurant in Chinatown. Ordered to go and food was ready for pick up in 15 min and were packed nicely. Fresh ingredients and pretty good portion. Great lunch specials. Favorite was walnut shrimp.

This review is for the shrimp toast with bok choi ONLY. Called in an order and was told to pick up in 20 min. Arrived within 20 min or so and the order was ready for pick up. The taste is absolutely amazing. I am someone who has eaten at Asian restaurants across Asia and I've never had shrimp toast before. I highly recommend you try it at least one time in your life. The taste and texture is similar to Taiwanese tempura or Japanese oden. But with a layer of seaweed(?) fried into the bottom. So crispy and fresh with large chunks of shrimp and veggies. Goes perfectly with the sweet and sour sauce. 10/10 must try, I dare you to @ me if you don't agree!

Service was good! walked in was greeted immediately. Food came out fast and price point is great. Reasonable. Authentic cuisine. Good late night treat. Complimentary green tea won me over. I love tea with my food. I recommend giving this place a try.

Decent no frills Chinese restaurant that has plenty of options. Some of the other restaurants in the area have tablecloths and more of a Chinese banquet vibe going, but this place keeps it really minimal and simple, which is exactly what I was looking for. They have pictures of various dishes on the walls. They have an extensive menu. I did ask the server what they recommended, and the server just kind of punted my question -- mentioned that the items photographed and displayed on the walls are their popular dishes, but wouldn't make any recommendations... We were hungry, so we ended up ordering a lot and subsequently, ended up with a lot of left overs: - Fried dumplings: these are ok. They have plenty of filling, but I would have liked the dumpling wraps to be a bit thinner - Fried rice: it's been a minute since I've ordered fried rice at a restaurant. They have an option that basically has all of the proteins, which is nice. Fried rice was fine. - Salt and pepper pork ribs: I haven't had this since I was a kid, and I was very pleasantly surprised to see this on their menu. It's nice and pepper and salty. That said, there were some pieces of the pork that had chewy pieces of fat and some pieces that were really too fatty. - Honey walnut shrimp: This is pretty good. We had leftovers for dayssss

Found a piece of METAL in my food! Emperors beef. With strip of metal which was in the meal! It is sharp and is metal picked up with a magnet.

We came here to try this new Chinese restaurant in Chinatown . got some recommend the dishes like shrimp with asparagus, chow fun, and Mongolian beef .Good Chinese food good service much recommended play in Chinatown.

Most of the food was very good, like the shrimp, beef and chicken dishes. The crab wontons were just ok, I'd skip them next time, and we did not like the tofu dish we ordered. Just realistic expectations...The service is not anything to have high expectations about. We had to ask multiple times for things, and had to get up to get our own drink out of the fridge in the front, when we wanted another one. Everything comes out separately, but the white rice should be before, or with the other dishes, not towards the end. There's no wine/beer there. It's very loud, but they were busy, so I guess that's to be expected. Would probably be a good takeout place.
