What people say

Chinatown in Los Angeles is a bustling neighborhood with a rich cultural heritage and an abundance of delicious food options. With so many restaurants to choose from, it can be overwhelming for both locals and tourists to decide where to dine. That's where online reviews and comments come in handy.

According to numerous reviews, some of the recommended cuisines in Chinatown include Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai. One restaurant that stands out among the rest is Yang Chow, which is famous for its slippery shrimp and other delectable dishes at reasonable prices. Another standout option is the Golden Dragon Restaurant, which boasts a wide selection of dim sum that is popular among locals.

Speaking of locals, they tend to gravitate towards smaller, family-owned establishments such as Hop Woo BBQ & Seafood Restaurant and Won Kok Restaurant. These restaurants may not have fancy decor or a Michelin star rating, but they offer authentic dishes that are sure to satisfy any craving.

On the other hand, tourists tend to flock to larger chain restaurants like PF Chang's or Cheesecake Factory. While these establishments may offer a familiar menu, they often lack the authenticity and charm of smaller mom-and-pop shops.

In terms of prices, Chinatown has options for all budgets. Some of the more upscale restaurants like Eastside Market Italian Deli and Philippe the Original can be on the pricier side, while others like Phoenix Inn and Full House Seafood Restaurant offer more affordable options.

It's worth noting that none of the restaurants in Chinatown currently hold Michelin stars. However, that doesn't mean there aren't exceptional dining experiences to be had. Many of the restaurants have received positive reviews from customers who appreciate the quality of food and service.

In conclusion, online reviews and comments are invaluable resources when it comes to deciding where to eat in Chinatown. Some recommendations include Yang Chow, Golden Dragon Restaurant, Hop Woo BBQ & Seafood Restaurant, Won Kok Restaurant, and Phoenix Inn. Whether you're a local or a tourist, there are options for every budget and taste bud in this vibrant neighborhood.
