Yang Chow

Our first impression of this LA landmark was the huge crowd gathered outside. Calling ahead for a reservation is so easy and highly recommended, the wait for a table was 45 minutes or more. Lets go with the short version here. The food was actually really good. Very inexpensive, tasty food served fresh and piping hot. Quirky owner is very funny and made our experience that much better. $13/head WITH tax and tip. Cheap enough for you? $3.50 corkage waived for us because of the new year.


cold sesame noodles. first dish out and very tasty. apparently a NY staple.


amazingly good pot stickers. really, they were amazing.


spicy szchewan wonton soup. not a big fan. the initial taste was sweet, followed by an overly garlicy bite. not that spicy.


string beans with pork. not the best. these could use more garlic from the soup


slippery shrimp. a yang chow specialty. this dish was really good. subtle spiciness to the perfectly fried shrimp. none of that chewy overcooked stuff here.

beef with scallions. nothing special but still very tasty. none of that overly tenderized weird beef you get at many chinese places.


broccoli chicken. this dish went fast. very tasty sauce.


still not into it but look at that valet price!
