The 23 Best Chinese Restaurants in Los Angeles

"Kim Ky has been an institution in the San Gabriel Valley for decades, with multiple restaurants spanning even to Orange County. This popular Chiu Chow restaurant boasts a menu that rivals the Cheesecake Factory’s. Just for the noodle soups, patrons have near-infinite options for customization. Diners can choose between rice noodles, thin, thick, flat, egg noodles, and silver needle noodles (nicknamed “rat tail noodles” for their tail-like appearance), to name a few. You can also choose between a dry noodle that is soup-less or a traditional Chiu Chow broth, which is made with chicken and pork bones, rock sugar, fish sauce, and dried shrimp. One of the most popular dishes is “chai tao kway,” which is a stir-fried radish cake with egg and preserved daikon that is dipped in vinegar. Another specialty is fried you tiao crullers made fresh every morning. Don’t skip out on the housemade spicy barbecue satay chili sha cha sauce and pickled green chilies. (Locations in San Gabriel, Rosemead, and Westminster)" - Kristie Hang

This restaurant is known for teochew cuisine and has mix of noodles, rice dishes and everything else in between. On a Sunday lunch hour, the restaurant is buzzing with loyal patrons as the noodle soups here are tasty. Also the filet mignon with red rice is good too. It's cash only so remember to bring cash. Parking is available in the lot but it'll be busy so come early or will have to park on the street.

Fast Service Noodle #1, combination meats, the egg small noodle is good (chewy texture) soup is tasty (most definitely have MSG) overall is above average but not WOW Satay Chow Fun - is OK. Not that bad but definitely will not order again (if I can still remember when re visiting) House chile - Good tasted but not spicy enough CASH ONLY

Kim Ky is different from kim kee and it's 2 separate restaurants so don't get them mixed up. Both are really similar and both have their signature fish fried fish cakes. Kim Ky has 3 locations: San Gabriel Blvd in San Gabriel and Garvey Ave in Rosemead and one in Westminster. Make sure you bring CASH because it's cash only! Food is decent! Service is great! Servers are friendly and helpful! Make sure you order their fried fish cakes because it's one of their signature dish. Similar review as I left for the other location, For the food alone, i would give it a 4 star. Interior is old and not as clean so I would give it a 3.5. I want to give them a better rating because this place is classic and they have been serving the SGV for such a long time with consistent quality of food.

Cash only so YOU KNOW it's 🔥 Noodles are great and I recommend the filet mignon with red rice. There can be a wait and you may be asked to share a table with others -- make friends! It slowed down after 1pm on a Saturday FYI

Once, my friend Danny was chatting with me and said, "I have a friend from Chengdu, a couple who owns a restaurant. Do you know how hard they work? From morning till night, 24/7, all year round. They never take a break, working every day for seven or eight years, and during that time, they managed to buy two or four houses." I knew exactly who Danny was talking about—a small restaurant in the Mon-Arc Center in Monrovia, CA. What Danny didn't know is that I also know the couple. Danny mentioned that restaurant to show me how hardworking typical Chinese people are. I told him I knew of two restaurants that only serve breakfast and lunch, closing before dinner. Both are great: Fortune No. 1 on Valley Boulevard in Monterey Park and Kim Ky in San Gabriel. In my opinion, Kim Ky is top-notch in terms of flavor. The funny thing is that I've only visited this restaurant twice in the past eight years, mainly because they close at 5 p.m. It's quite unusual for a restaurant to skip serving dinner. As I was preparing the photos for this review, I was surprised to realize that I ordered the same dishes on both of my visits. They were simple, straightforward dishes, but they were outstanding. Kim Ky is a Vietnamese-style Chinese restaurant—or at least they speak Chinese. Their menu primarily features noodles, both rice noodles and wheat noodles, with seven types to choose from. I prefer wheat noodles over rice noodles—thinner is better, at least for me. The restaurant has several light boxes in front of the window displaying the current jackpots for several big lotteries. Strangely, though, I've never seen them sell lottery tickets inside. Now, let's talk about the food: Beef Satay Sauce Noodles – $12.75 The presentation was a full bowl of ground meat in a red sauce, looking almost like a light paste, as if it were full of red chilis. But don't be fooled by the appearance or color—it's not spicy at all, and there's no chili pepper in it. The flavor of the satay was incredibly authentic, just like the kind I had in Chaozhou. The beef was tender and juicy, and the thin yellow noodles were perfectly cooked—not too hard, not too soft. This isn't a noodle soup; it's mixed noodles with sauce, so skip it if you prefer soup-based noodles. Rating: 8/10 Assorted Beef Variety or Assorted Pork Variety Both are good, but I recommend the pork version over the beef. The reason is simple: you get more variety with pork because it's easier to source the ingredients. The pork version includes intestine, heart, kidney, liver, and more. With the beef version, you mainly get tripe—and only white honeycomb tripe, which doesn't taste as good as the black tripe. Beef: 7/10, Pork: 8/10 Fried Chinese Doughnuts These are Chinese doughnuts, but different from the local Shanghainese style. The Shanghai version is lighter and crispier, but these are still very good. Rating: 8/10 Assorted Meat & Shrimp If you can't decide what to order, go with No. 1 on the menu. It's a noodle soup served in a light yet umami-rich broth with Thai basil and other fresh herbs you can add to the hot soup. The noodles come with pork kidney, shrimp, ground pork, and other ingredients. It's a consistently satisfying dish. Rating: 8/10

Just absolutely fantastic noodle spot. Not sure how Kim Ky and Kim Kee are related but I am guessing someone from this one branches out to make their own? The side dishes are definitely bigger here and they give you a lot of noodles here. I've been here three times in a week and I am not ashamed. The meat variety with shrimp I think it's called is absolutely amazing. I think it's the #7. Very busy here but moves pretty quick and it's cash only so you know it's great! LOL.

This is one of my favorite noodle house in SGV. We always dip the Chinese donut in the shacha sauce with chili peppers and then in the soup. it’s to die for. The service is terrible and they don’t really speak English, but all that really doesn’t matter when the food is this good.

You really cannot beat a spot like this. Incredible food, great prices, great service. Come early because it does get busy with a lot of locals who frequent this place.

I've been going here since middle school and it's still so memorable! I usually order the #1. I love that you can choose if you want soup on the side or not and that you can choose your noodles. Yes, the parking is small and is difficult when it's busy. Yes, the restaurant is a little dated -- but it just adds more character. I went today (on Mother's day), and it did take awhile for the food to come.... but no complaints! Just more time to spend with my family.

Enjoyed the food, was a little bland. The restaurant was a little busy but quiet. The hardest thing here is to order, they really do not speak much English. After 3 waitresses I finally got my order!

Ambiance: it's a standalone establishment, and they have their own private parking lot in front and on one side of the restaurant Service: terrible attitudes, the waitresses were very rushed to place the order and served all dishes in a rush too, and they intend to ignore your requests Food & Drink: standard Kim Ky menu, and they are specialized in all kinds of soup noodles Beef Brisket Stew w/Egg Noodle - **** tasty beef and tendon, flavorful broth, recommend French Style Fillet Mignon w/Fried Rice - ** stingy portion of meat, texture tasted so dry and reheated, they used to have more for this dish Price: moderate portions for most food, overall decent quality, expect $20 per person for a very fulfilling quick meal, and keep in mind it's cash only here

Kim Ky is a staple in our household. Whether we decide to dine in or carry out, we love our Kim Ky. Although the food is delicious, it's the aunties that make the experience. They work incredibly hard and try their best to help you quickly. I normally order the pork kidney and shrimp with egg noodle but decided to try their beef brisket stew with egg noodle. I was pleasantly surprised with how tender the meat was, and was totally blown away. Highly recommend, along with their French coffee if you need a boost. Mine woke me up in the evening and carried me through the night. A small lot is available but street parking is an option with a short walk. Cash only.

One of the OG Cambodian / Chiu Chow restaurants in LA. Portions are generous and prices are decent. The service is a miss, but that's just typical SGV. Luckily, the food is pretty authentic and reminds me of a meal cooked at home.

I came here via car on a Sunday afternoon in mid March 2025. They have a small free parking lot that gets super busy. I've had this place in my bookmarks for years but never catch them when they're actually open. I ordered their Filet Mignon with Red Rice, Fried Rice Cake with Soy Sauce, Beef Brisket Stew with Egg Noodles, and their Green Vegetables with Oyster Sauce. My favorite was the Fried Rice Cake with Soy Sauce. You have to eat it fresh though - they don't keep very well. I ordered over the phone then paid and picked up my order when I got there. The restaurant was packed! Would highly recommend if you're in the area.

I've been passing by Kim Ky Noodle House on my way home from my workout and I always saw the parking lot full so I was curious. After looking at the reviews and photos, it was definitely a place that I wanted to try. My mom went to pick up our take out order. They were very nice on the phone when I placed the order. And it was ready when she arrived. She noticed that most of the tables were filled. So we took as a good sign. We ordered the beef stew with flat rice noodles, chow fun and filet mignon. The beef stew was good. The broth was very flavorful with just the right hint of heat. The chow fun was good. The filet mignon was good. It was very tender and the vinegar was good too.

I have been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid with my parents, and it never disappoints. My go-to is the seafood noodle soup with Chinese donuts for dipping such a perfect combo. But the real star for me is their seafood soft chow mein noodles. No other place makes it as good and I love that they include soup on the side to seal the deal. I have tried other locations like the ones in Rosemead and Monterey Park, but they just do not taste the same despite being Kim Kee. The food here has the perfect seasoning and that signature wok hei flavor. My boyfriend finally gave in after I kept telling him about this place, and now he is hooked on their crispy chicken chow mein. It is his must have whenever we visit my family. The best part? The prices are relatively affordable. Two of our favorite dishes came out to $31 before tip, which is a great deal for the quality and portion sizes. The ambiance has a warm, family-gathering feel. You see people of all ages eating here--from grandparents enjoying a comforting bowl of noodle soup to kids slurping up chow mein with their parents. It is a no-frills, casual spot where the focus is on good food and shared meals. The restaurant is a bit small, so seating is limited, and it gets packed during peak hours, especially on weekends. Expect a bit of a wait, but turnover is fairly quick. Customer service is not the most attentive, but that is expected in a busy spot like this. As long as the food is good, I do not mind. Parking can be hectic so just parked in the neighborhood or the sides of the street ! Cash only spot !! Definitely coming back again!

*CASH ONLY* The ladies that run the restaurant work so hard -- this is not a knock against them at all. They work so hard to run the restaurant, but our experience was a little lacking. FOOD: Ordered #2 dry style with thick egg noddles. The noodles themselves were delicious and al dente. The perfect springiness to the noodle. There was a good mix of seafood present in the dish. The shrimp cracker wasn't as crispy as I would've hoped and was a little stale. I would probably get some form of noodles again -- I love anything with egg noodles so this was a hit for me. PARKING: Small lot or street parking. We ended up doing street parking. Perhaps it was the day we went, but there was a lot of people that were chain smoking outside of the restaurant. The door was left open, so the entire restaurant was filled with smoke for a solid 20 minutes. I was really nauseous when eating at the restaurant, which contributed to the overall experience.

Always love me some Kim Ky! They were great pre-covid and still amazing post-covid. Their prices didn't fluctuate significantly like most restaurants. This is my go to for flat rice noodles with liver. Parking lot can be a nightmare but you know because the food is good and everyone is there. There's plenty of parking on the streets. We always get the fried rice cake with soy sauce and recently started adding the fried donut to my soup. It's a nice addition to the noodles. CASH ONLY.

*Parking: Small lot so it's gets packed during rush meal times but there's street parking around the corner. *Experience: Little Asian ladies that can speak Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin and some limited English. Very impressive given they are all immigrants. Service at this location has always been very friendly and I appreciate their smiles. There's individual tables or you may need to share a table if it gets busy. If you come at 9AM l, there's usually never a wait and pretty empty. *Food: The quality of the noodle soup here has always been very consistent and delicious! I always get #1 with thick flat rice noodles and skinny egg noodles in soup. There's also an option to get the soup on the side. Remember to make your dipping sauce - half satay & half hoisin. This is definitely a staple and I always come here at least once when I'm in town!

Awesome place for comfort Chiu Chow food. Price is decent and portion is generous. Their homemade fish balls are super yummy. It's operated by older folks but the service is prompt. If you are looking for a fancy setting, this is not it. You eat and go, not a place for dwelling or conversation. This place opens early mornings but closed super early around 4:30-5p daily.

One of my favorite egg noodle spots in the SGV. I usually go for the seafood egg noodle, but can't go wrong here. Easy for larger groups as other egg noodle spots in the area are much smaller. Parking can be a bit hard. If you're lucky you'll find a spot in their small lot, but there's plenty of street parking around the block. Cash only so bring them bills!

I don't know why it's taken me this long to finally try out Kim Ky Noodle House. They're known for their classic noodle soups with various noodles to choose from. We ordered the #1 Assorted Meat & Shrimp with Flat Rice Noodles ($11) and #11 Beef Brisket Stew with Egg Noodles ($11.75). The first one was very light on the broth while the stew was more dense. Honestly, a combination of both of them makes the perfect balance. I did enjoy the stew one a bit more, but I just love braised beef, which were also very tender and juicy. Plus, they were out of pork kidney, so we were missing that element in the first bowl too. The waiters were a bit rude and quick to dismiss us, but that's also typical service at any Asian spot. We ended up getting the to-go containers ourselves. Either way, you can't go wrong with a nice, affordable bowl of noodle soup though. Note that it's cash only though!

arrived alone on a Friday at 11:30am. Already full house and had to wait for a table (I didn't want to share a larger table with strangers). got seated at the corner of the room after someone left and dishes were cleared, but the table was still dirty and wet with sauce dripping. Had to wave a waitress down to wipe it clean and bring me a menu. once I'm ready to order I cannot see any server walking in my corner to check. I had to wave down the guy, who told someone else that I need to place an order. waited another couple minutes when the guy gave up waiting and came over to take my order. as other reviewer stated, my order took a while since I didn't order their noodle soup. I've notice another table got their food first even though they placed their order after me. I wanted the house-special rice noodle, as I'd remembered years ago I loved the same dish at Chinatown's Kim Ta. I also ordered a mixed fried balls. the rice noodle had generous shrimp, beef and chicken pieces with chinese broccoli. the noodle has the same fried (almost burnt) flavor, but the dish was missing squid and fishcakes and fried eggs, as I'd remembered (maybe I should have ordered seafood rice noodle but the photo on the menu didn't show what I wanted neither). the fried fish and shrimp balls were good with the sweet dipping sauce. the place was busy full house for the entire hour I was there. most people ordered noodle soups, which is probably what they are famous for but I didn't feel like it today. parking lot is also full with cars.

I have been coming here with my family since I was little and the food never disappoints. They have a small parking lot and the restaurant can get pretty busy sometimes so I always park on the street around the corner. I got the beef ball noodle soup and it was so good. Their soup is always so good and flavorful.

Kim Ky noodle house specializes in regional Chinese (Teochew/Chiu-Chow) Vietnamese fusion fare: the specialty noodle soups and stir fried beef over rice are some of their best sellers. I was craving Teochew/Chiu-Chow style noodle soup so off to Kim Ky I went. I ordered: -Assorted Seafood Noodle Soup: BLAND SOUP BROTH. No taste! The seasoning condiments on the table could NOT fix it. The actual seafood in the soup and noodles were GOOD and fresh! Tip: you order the "soup on the side" is my suggestion. - Fried Cruller (youtiao): Very good! Not too oily even though it was fried. -Filet Mignon cubes over rice: My son ate it and seemed to enjoy the dish. -Fried Fishcake: Very good. Made in house and tasted fresh. Overall Kim Ky was just okay. I think there are better Teochew/Chiuchow noodle houses that I personally prefer. -CASH ONLY-

Lunch on a weekday here can be really busy and loud. My group got seated pretty quickly. The service was a bit slow to get someone to take our order. If you get a noodle soup meal it comes out pretty quickly compared to everything else on the menu. Others in my group got their order about 5 min before I got my food. I've been here a few times and tried the diced filet mignon with black pepper sauce this time. The meat was cooked very well done and some charcoal was stuck to the meat. I've liked this dish at other places but I'm not going to order this again here. It's okay for what it is and I've noticed they're slowly increasing prices since when I first came here a couple years ago. I'd say skip it. I think other places on Valley Blvd are better.

This place is straight to the point. I love this spot for some Chinese/Vietnamese Noodle Soup. My favorite is the House Special Noodle Soup with Rice & Egg Noodles. I particularly appreciate the customization of the type of noodles you can get. You can mix & match the type of noodles as you please Pro Tip: Please get the Chinese Donut ESPECIALLY if you are getting your soup with broth. You can dunk that bad boy into your broth and it makes for a comforting dish. You can also get your soup dry with the soup on the side. You can't go wrong with this version if you want to try something different. Be sure to use the the condiments to customize your food to your liking. I like to make a sauce with soy sauce, red vinegar, sate oil, and pickled jalapenos.

While I've never had an issue with the food, I feel uneasy having left the place after ordering takeout. I knew the prices of what I was ordering and even taking into account tax, it was higher than expected..ok, fine... but then after I was paid and was looking for my change back, instead of giving it back to me, they went and so quickly put it directly in the tip jar. It surprised me and while I understand tips are always appreciated, I just wanted it to be my choice instead of them making that choice for me. Since I can't speak the language to communicate easily with them that I wish they didn't do that, I left but just didn't leave me with a great feeling.

Very satisfying with their signature #1 on the menu seafood flat noodles soup. We also got the beef brisket stew flat noodle soup. The broth is very unique. It has very flavorful beef flavor w a touch of tomato taste however the tomatoes doesn't override the beef flavor like tomatoes soup. The only cons about this restaurant is they close at 4pm and limited parking spaces.

Ok, so I've seen this place for years just driving down San Gabriel but never paid any mind to it. With the rainy day weather we've been having, my boyfriend wanted some kind of broth so we decided to go here. From the outside it looks almost like a store but once you go inside you see all the seating booths and tables available. Parking isn't the most ample but there is plenty. We were greeted by this kind older woman who immediately sat us down and gave us time to look over the menu. I wasn't sure what to order so my boyfriend ordered for us. All I know is I asked to get the thick egg noodles in the broth rather than outside. It didn't take long for us to get our food but even if it did it would be worth the wait!

Great place for getting chu show noodles and reasonable price . Me and my sister come here often to get our fix. The dipping sauce they give and aren't willing to even leave on the table for self serve is cracking!!! They need to bottle that stuff

Little mom and pop shop that's cash only. This place and Kim kee has the same exact noodle soup. Even their establishment name is almost the same. They have wet and dry noodles. Parking is available right outside. Looks like the people that eat here are mostly locals. Service is very good and quick.

Visited: 2025-01 Note: I think they have 2 other locations (based on the name; Rosemead & Westminster) #42 French style fillet mignon with fried rice (bo luc lac) (I think $15.25): tender pieces of fillet mignon but could use a bit more flavor. Fried rice was good. Their chili oil hot sauce that I got from another person in my party's order was really good. Their dipping sauce for the fillet was too sour. I won't seek this out again but it was nice to try. OVERALL: Solid food. I would come back to try some of their other dishes.

It's always crowded. But the fans and AC are good. Food came out pretty quick. The white noodle is good. I'm not a fan of the egg noodle. Free tea. Highly recommend you park at the street next to it (turn right). There are plenty of parking and 2 hours. Walking less than 1 min.

I love the food here! The noodles are super chewy and bouncy, and the broth is light and flavorful. Food: 5/5 Noodles are always cooked to perfection, and pairs perfectly with the broth. I always order the dry half thin egg noodles half thick rice noodles with fish fillet and chicken. Make sure you add a ton of the spicy sauce and pickled jalapenos to create a balanced dish. Also order the donut and smother it with the spicy sauce. Price: 5/5 Super worth the portion is huge Service: 3/5 Not very good but just raise your hand and eventually they'll come over. Food definitely makes up for it.

If I could leave zero star I for sure would do that already! Restaurant is dirty, waiting for the food in 30 mins. Never recommend here

Beware Cash Only!!! This is my favorite noodles restaurant in the area. I love the dry (soup separate) Chiu Chow Noodles (with both flat ho fun and egg noodles), plus extra noodles so I can share with my kids. Fried donut is soft and crispy. Iced coffee is great too. Beef with rice is great too. Pork kidney was cooked to perfect medium.

This place is a no frills, good food, get in get out establishment that I've been coming to for years. Their #2 seafood special with soup on the side never disappoints. I order the thing egg noodle that they cook with some fried onion/garlic bits to give it a nice aroma and flavor. The soup is clean and the seafood is standard fish balls/fish fillet/shrimp. The sauces they offer and cut up chilis is what really enhances the dish for me. Order up.

Quality hasn't changed. Maybe quantity has but the quality is solid over the years. Service is always quick. We always get the number 1 and the fried flour sticks with egg . The restaurant is always crowded even the parking lot. But it does have a family vibe to it. You could be sitting next to strangers divided by the condiments and chopsticks/soup spoons.

Definitely old school food here with lots of people dining in. It gets crowded on the weekend. The service was much on point and they work fast. The parking is a bit tight. But there is alot of spaces

We tried this place on recommendation of my uncle. Out of all their locations I feel like this one makes the dishes the best. It's pretty much the same menu. But I fell in love with their beef stew. The portions are generous and even though the bowls look small they are definitely deep. It is a really filling meal. Normally we arent able to finish it and have to bring half of it home with us. Their noodle soup dishes with meat and seafood combo are very popular. My parents love ordering those every time we eat there. I highly recommend this place but beware parking space is limited and there could be a wait for a table. If you have a small party and get seated at a large table you may have to share the space with another party. This restaurant opens early and seems to be busy the entire time during their operation hours. They dont really have a slow period. This is constantly people walking in to eat. This is a telling sign that the food here is worth a try and worth coming back for.

Giving this place a 4/5 primarily for their youtiao and the rice cakes with eggs. The youtiao is so fresh, crunchy, and hot! I definitely ate this more than the noodles I ordered. I also really liked the rice cake with eggs because it was packed with flavor. I honestly miss eating that. The noodle soups here are pretty much the same as other Teochow places so I'm glad I'm not missing out. This place is cash only so remember to keep some cash on you before dining here!

My family loves Kim Ky Noodle House, and they go it so frequently that they are familiar with all of the staff members. Every time I visit, I make sure to get the French Style Fillet Mignon with Red Rice and a side of soup. Must order this fantastic dish when you go! Parking there is difficult to find due to the small parking lot. Bring cash; this restaurant only accepts it! There are also lottery sales available if you feel lucky.

I love their noodles here. It's a big restaurant with a fee big tables. Most of the time if they aren't too busy, they will greet you and seat you. The parking is not too bad, they have quite a few lots. Or you can park on the street. The servers are attentive and give you stuff you ask for asap. I love their seafood noodle here. If you love noodle, you gotta try this restaurant. I come here pretty often to have noodle dishes.

There was a piece of hair in my noodle soup! Beyond disgusting! I cannot with Asian places like this.

Probably one of the worst service I've had, and I'm still giving 5 stars because it's that good. The best (not to mention affordable) teochew noodle soup, cubed beef red rice, and egg fried cake. I recommend the egg fried cake without the pickled radish.

Cash Only!! Kim Ky has such a flavorful broth for their noodle soup, while the broth is clear? Not sure how they make it happen, but it is definitely one of the most well balanced, flavorful noodle soups I've had.
