China Kitchen - Los Angeles

Authentic Chinese-American cuisine with fresh ingredients. Wishing the owners all the best in their retirement. Unfortunately, they are closed now.

I apologize for the confusion; the restaurant has changed. It's now called Sol of LA Cafe, as China Kitchen has closed at this location. I appreciate your understanding regarding my previous review stating it was still open.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and opted for takeout. They have implemented COVID protocols effectively, which made me feel quite safe. However, the food was lacking in flavor. The beef fried rice was disappointingly bland, and I was given only one packet of soy sauce and one packet of chili sauce to try to enhance the taste. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

This place is a gem. I 've been coming here since my high school days in the late 90s. The food was great back then, but inconsistent. Today, the new owner hired one of the original cooks (whom I call Chef and their food has become more consistent and tastier. Their orange chicken is arguably better than Panda Express. Very addictively full of flavor (eat it fresh! . All around, great people and great food!!

A great neighborhood place with down to earth, no frills Chinese food. Perfect especially having come from New York with lots of options. Totally recommend it!
