Jade Wok in Los Angeles - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent quality, and delicious. So delicious! Friendly service from the boss❤️

We were exploring Chinatown and looking for one last place to eat before our trip back home and I’m so glad we stopped here. The food was amazing, probably some of the best Chinese food we’ve had.

We were visiting Chinatown in L.A. and on one of the internet Websites I found the info about this restaurant. It looked humble both from the outside and the inside but since we’ve been to China and in general to Asia a lot, we know that the interior usually does not say much about the food. The lady who took the order was really nice and informed us about the dishes. The customers were smiling and nodding approvingly, when we started eating with chopsticks. We ordered 3 dishes: Sichuan-Style Ribs, Sautéed Vegetables and sweet-sour chicken. Everything was delicious and the portions were not only very generous but also reasonably priced!

This secret little restaurant has a unique soft tofu dish with a brown gravy containing black beans, ground meat, green onions and other ingredients. The chicken and mushroom dish had Shiitake mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, chicken, broccoli and other vegetables. It's very yummy, homey and satisfying.

We were in the neighborhood, and saw that the reviews were good, so we decided to be adventurous! Food turned out to be the best Chinese food we've had in a long time! We also ordered the house beef special and the orange peel chicken. The beef was tender and so was the chicken. Service was ok and food came out fast and hot. Made when ordered.

Clean, fast, cheap and friendly

5 stars all across the board! The Egg Foo Young was to die for. As were the Shanghai Style Pork Ribs. They also included a ton of rice, no extra charge. Best Chinese Food in Chinatown prepared and served by the nicest people. Thank you, your food was delicious 😋

Very delicious pork and shrimp filling, with plenty of vegetables. Good price $11.5. The short ribs are always at their best! A must order every time I come.

Loved the food! Loved the price!! Loved the service! Recommend the friend rice 🍙 and veggie rolls!

Come before/after a Dodger game to enjoy a delicious meal. Jade Wok has genuine Chinese home cook food, reasonably priced on the menu. Eat in or take-out. Free parking behind building on Adobe Street. Best in Chinatown.

Wish I could give Jade Wok 6 stars! Sue was the most generous and warm host! And the food!!! Best Chinese food I’ve ever had! Try the salted fish, garlic beans and sesame chicken. All mouth watering! Can’t wait to go back!

My favorite chinese spot in chinatown. Love the owners and their food is consistently good and affordable. You can make substitutions to your food, no problem. Good veggie / vegan options as well.

I absolutely love this restaurant. It's a must stop for my daily when we are in town. Food is amazing and super cheap. The staff always remembers us when we come back.

My perants Been coming here for 19 years. They moved to Rialto, CA . They drive down to eat here

A hole in the Wall Chinese restaurant. I came here and there were many locals just sitting commiserating and eating. I should have ordered what everyone else was eating because I ended up ordering an entree that consisted only of pork chops lol. Which was fine but there were many more wonderful things to eat and I should have been more adventurous. Definitely come back it's a small dining room but the food is really good and the services plenty friendly.

Best Authentic Chinese food the Shanghai ribs bbq fried rice, jalapeño fried battered fish excellent!

The tofu, the short ribs and the dumplings are delicious! This places is so comforting and the people who run it are the sweetest

Restaurant with very delicious food, excellent service.

Delicious food, really nice waitress

Very good food and the waitress is really nice too. Their homemade tofu is specially good

Left with large portion, and very happy with food

Place was great and one of the best hole in the wall spots down here in LA Chinatown. Parking is alright within the area, theres a few metered parking in the front and parking area at the back of the building, and if you park at the back side, you just gotta go through their kitchen area good old Hong Kong style. Staff are pretty chill and very accommodating and I definitely recommend their house tofu special.

I found this restaurant in 2006. Today, we had a family dinner here. We usually order their homemade tofu, fish fillet with spicy salt, west lake beef soup, house special fried rice, shredded pork chow mein with gravy, Shanghai style spareribs, beef with string beans, snow peas tips, shrimp with snow peas, tea smoke duck and homemade ginger chicken. Everything was delicious. Fast service.

Food was fantastic and everything was great

All dishes were great tasting and didn't feel heavy on you. However, we Had to wait or call for service each time. Tables with Chinese customers seemed to have faster service and waiters chatting with them and wishing happy new year but we had to wait a long time for water refill even.

Ended up here on Xmas as it had the shortest wait time. The surprise was everything we ordered was absolutely delicious: vegetable chow fun, garlic string beans, pan fried dumplings, Szechuan eggplant, squid with salt, Kung pao beef, honey walnut shrimp and egg rolls. Great wok flavor and not one dud among them. A cute little hole in the wall with very sweet servers. Will definitely come back! Thank you, Jade Wok!

Support your local Chinatown restaurants! So happy to find this gem with really delicious home cooked Chinese food (I’m ABC and this meal reminded me of home :)) we had the best homemade tofu, beef chow mein, and Shanghai spare ribs all were A+ and our server was the sweetest.

Best Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.

It's a little hole-in-the-wall but when you walk in if you come in through the back you walk in through the kitchen if through the front greeted by nice lady but the food is OG everything tastes good I have tried ten dishes there got him the one time I was can't complain about nothing best food I've had in awhile

Jade Wok restaurant is a hidden gem that deserves all the accolades! The ambiance is simply enchanting, with its traditional Chinese decor and soothing music. The service was outstanding – our server was friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. Now, onto the star of the show – the food. It was a gastronomic delight. The flavors were bold and authentic, and each dish was a work of art. The dumplings were a revelation, and the Szechuan shrimp had the perfect kick. A must-visit for any food lover!

[ 전반적 경험 ] 저녁에 갔는데 동네가 좀 어두워서 이게 맞나?하는 곳에 있었지만 별탈없이 괜찮았어요. 주차도 앞에 주차요금 계산기로 가능하답니다. (특정 시간대 제외) 음식은 4개 시켰는데 총 54불 밖에 안나왔고, 양이 많아서 2명이서는 3개까지만 시키길! 주인장 분들도 음식 괜찮은지 체크해주시고, 굉장히 친절하셨습니다. [요리] 1. 시그니처 두부요리는 직접 만드셨다고 하고 연두부와 일반 두부 사이의 식감이에요. 한번 겉을 튀겼는지 부쳤는지, 부드러우면서 감칠맛있는 소스가 잘 어울려서 좋았고 2. 콩 마늘 볶음?은 아삭아삭하고 적당히 짭쪼롬해서 안주거리로 좋을 듯 하네요. 3. 돼지고기 볶음밥은 맛있는데, 고기가 햄 느낌이라 조금 아쉽! 다음에 간다면 다른 종류로 먹고 싶네요. 4. 포크립은 작지만 뼈 발라먹는 식감이 특이하고, 겉에 소스가 달콤짭쪼름해서 먹는 재미가 있네요.

Owners are super nice, service is fast, and the food is great. Try the special house tofu

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Chinatown

Great hole in the wall restaurant. Super friendly staff, great tasting food. A must when in Chinatown.

Wow. Long waiting time due to short handed. Must try their signature House Tofu Special . In general, their dishes are decent and taste good. If you visit Chinatown, give it a try.

This. Restaurants like this give revive my soul. I don’t need anything fancy. I just want a taste of home, straight from the firey breath of a decades-old wok. This is the kind of mom and pop shop that makes LA so exciting—a place that maintains their recipes over the years and customers know exactly what to expect. The food comes out fast, we ordered 4 dishes between 3 people and we were so full. These are the only four dishes you need: Shanghai style pork ribs, honey walnut shrimp, string beans, and the house special tofu. They got lots of parking in the back too.

Pleasant service and an abundance of classic American Chinese dishes.

Great authentic Chinese food with that "Chinese" vibe! Highly recommend for a cheap eat and has a wide diversity of different dishes!

Wor wonton soup, chow fun, sesame chicken and sweet and sour bbq pork have been amazing!

A gem. So grateful the OG ladies in my class shared their love for Jade Wok. "House made best tofu in town" w sauce & bits of pork, over rice 🤤. Garlic string beans. Sesame chicken. Eggplant. Chow fun. Bring a big group so you can try all the deliciousness! Some parking in back.

Now that the region Inn in Chinatown is no longer open Jade Wok is about just as good prices are all under $10 they open at 10 a.m. and if you like feel like eating Chinese food for breakfast go here food is fresh you can even come through the kitchen with a parking lot is in the back you'll see a great clean kitchen and awesome dishes I get my Chinese food fix here all the time

Great food. The owner is very kind and friendly. I really love the chow mein, but everything is delicious.

Incredible. Great food, great price, hearty portions, kind people. Easy parking. They were on time with my online order, they were busy during lunch. I asked others who were regulars. This is a legit spot and I hope it stays for generations.

Can’t recommend this place enough! Please order the famous tofu

My standard for sesame chicken is pretty high, and this place definitely exceeded my expectations! I will be returning!

Excellent food. Generous portions even for takeaway. Order turned around in under 10 minutes. First time visiting this restaurant. Will be back

Everyone is so kind and most importantly, the taste of the food proves that this store has a long history. One of the best Chinese restaurants in LA! Strongly recommend 👍

Def the best spot in Chinatown that ive been to. The chicken congee is Great! The noddles are great too.

Amazing food, excellent customer service. Everything on the menu looked great. Recommend the sweet and sour shrimp and shrimp chow fun. The shrimp with scrambled egg is also excellent (try extra spicy, it's super yum).

In China Town, able to get parking in front. Food was good, they seem to do a lot of take out.

November 2022 - Party of 2, Sunday afternoon, no wait! Great little hole in the wall place! Food/Pricing - The noodles and soup tasted amazingly home made! Not too salty and very yummy! Service/Ambiance - Quick and friendly service! Parking - They're located in a small plaza with a small parking lot.

Comida magnífica y atención muy agradable :)

Jade Wok is amazing!! Big portions, great prices, warm service! Crispy pork with salt and pepper, garlic string beans, beef chow fun, smoked duck, tofu, and egg chicken soup = $85. Plenty of parking right out front and just down the street.

The take out portions are huge! Tastes good too. I ordered extra sweet and sour sauce...it had a touch too much vinegar, but it was still good. UPDATE! Sometime in the summer of 2022 I went there as usual. I ordered the sweet and sour pork as usual. It was almost all pieces of fat! Hardly any pieces were pork. They probably saw in me some stupid non Chinese and thought they could unload a bunch of fat pieces thinking I was some new customer. I had to throw it away. I didn't bother telling them as I've heard that complaining at Chinese restaurants is a waste of time. I cannot go back after that experience. Too bad. I've been going there for years. No more.

Fantastic quality of food and equally amazing service. We love this place!

Some of the best Chinese food in Los Angeles. You will not be disappointed.

We looked at a TON of reviews for Chinese in this area but the Jade Wok was 100% the right choice for us! The food was flavorful, the service was great, and it’s exactly what we had hoped for. The portions were also huge! We were so excited for this food. We got the steamed pork dumplings (very close to soup dumplings), beef & broccoli, Kung pao chicken, garlic string beans, and the fried wontons! Every single thing was amazing! We are from out of town but a home run the first time? Definitely not a fluke. This place is just THAT good!

The experience going here was amazing. What makes going here good was the service. They were so sweet and genuine, nice people :)

Authentic and fresh! Will be back

They have the best Chinese food in southern California. One of the local merchants recommend it to me and I love their food. It's consistently good. I stay away from meat but their Roasted Duck is the best. I also love their sweet and sour fish. Their veggies are always so tasty. Their portions are generous and their service is excellent. One week I ate there 4x when I was in the area. Give them a try and you will see why I rave about their food.

I’ve been coming here for many years and todays service was horrible. We’ve been sitting here for almost 20 minuets with no tea or soups or even to have someone take our order. We were the second group here, other people started coming in and our order was taken LAST! I wanted to add we were the only non Asian there and they served us last. This was our last time there as the last service was seriously disappointing.

Very good Hong Kong style food. Great owners.

Favorite Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, always great service. Been eating here or ordering takeout for 7 years. Family owned by folks that live here in the community. Recommend the house tofu, Shanghai spare ribs, pork chop, honey walnut shrimp, sizzling rice soup. Great community restaurant!

Just average taste nothing special.

It was an impromptu dinner, it was late, they were about to close. Seems like a family owned and operated restaurant. The food I ordered was fine, didn't jump out from others I had before. But most definitely will try again, hopefully dine in and with friends.

Fantastic, fresh fried food and great people. But their house made chili oil is the secret star here, and I felt absolutely no remorse drenching everything on my plate with it.

1st time. Nice portions n good tasting food

Food is delicious and portions are huge! Owners are also very kind. I love coming here for my lunches!

Got recommendations from the waitress to get the homage tofu and it was amazing, great service and great authentic Chinese food

Best Chinese I've EVER had, and I've been to some great spots in San Jose and San Francisco. You must get their spare ribs (it's their specialty) great chow mein and fried rice.

The food was delightful, but the conversation with the owner was even better!

Very good place to go with a Chinese guide to get very good dim sum. Plus, you can order from the menu for there or to go. Unfortunately it's rated B by the county when we were there.

Great food at a reasonable price. I love their fried pork chop and chicken fried rice. Excellent Thai tea.

This little gem of a spot is on the edge of Chinatown! They are best known for their tofu dish and it definitely lives up to its name and recognition. I love their selection of Chinese food cooked fresh and well. One of my favorite dishes is the black bean fish and any of the stir fry noodle dish. Of course everything tastes better when you eat it right on the spot when the food is served, but due to Covid, take out is ideal. The parking is easy. Metered out front on the street or residential just across the streets. The owner is very sweet and offers great customer service. Feels like home when I dine in. Thank you Jade wok! + they open later than most Chinese food places in Chinatown.

FRIENDLY! The tofu and green bean dish are great.

Jade Wok, is a little hidden jem! I first learned of their existence while working in the DTLA area we would order forn delivery as well as eat at the restaurant, the food is amazing, freshly made, and always perfectly delightful. The owner/waitress is always sweet, welcoming, and always remembers us and what we like to order down to our favorite condiments. Love this place ♥️

Very good service the Chinese lady doing everything...2 thumbs up

During this inflation, 3 orders only under$40 with the Best quality , tasty food and friendly service, my daughters keeps asking to come back for their food even we already move out Chinatown years ago

I loved the atmosphere and the food here. Had the Fried Dumplings and a Thai Tea. The dumplings bursted with flavors and tea was just made it better. Would definitely recommend

Best food in Chinatown! Great prices freshly made when ordered.

Literally just picked it randomly to have lunch with my girlfriend and let me tell you, it's delicious!!! Not only that but it's considerable cheap as well when you look at other restaurants that raised their prices due to the pandemic. I had the self proclaimed "Best Tofu Dish" and I wasn't sure what to expect but it was exactly what the name implied. If you're visiting Chinatown then I highly recommend this place cause it's a short walk to the main street. This place in particular is tucked away in a corner but please don't let that fool you. You will not be disappointed. 10/10 for taste, 10/10 for value, and 10/10 for service (the lady was super nice)

The Smoked Tea Duck was absolutely a must-have. The food is excellent for the price point and it's not very busy early on Saturday so you can get the place all to yourself. To have a great experience, keep an open mind. The waitress was an excellent guide to the vast world of Chinese cuisine.

Solid Chinese food. Best tofu and sesame chicken! We have been going there for years!

Delicious! And affordable too! It was my mom and I's first time at Jade Wok, but we will definitely be coming back! The sesame chicken, wor wonton soup, and beef w/ black bean over rice were equally yummy 🤤. The restaurant has a cool, local vibe and the meat portions were generous (especially in the soup).

Freshest Chinese food mom n pop in Chinatown. Can never go wrong. Take the whole family. Plates are big enough to share. You will absolutely LOVE IT!

Any old hand at Asian food in LA will tell you that Chinatown is not at all the place to go to eat good Chinese food. Over the decades, raising rent prices have driven the newest, most authentic Chinese restaurants east into San Gabriel, leaving Chinatown a husk of restaurants fallen from their hayday in the 80s and 90s, often feeling older, more Americanized, and less worthy of a visit. It was with this mindset that I adopted skeptiscm upon being recommended the humble Jade Wok, and I am overjoyed to report that far from being a fallen icon, Jade is a diamond in the rough, a bastion of everything great about Chinese comfort food, and a must-visit for Asian food junkies looking for a fix outside the usual stomping grounds. Jade Wok's humble exterior betrays only the possibility of a delightful hole in the wall, with no dedicated parking but the enviable situation of being far enough off the main street that parking is usually ample (do not feel the need to park by the meters, just explore the adjacent streets a bit). The staff serve you with plastic forks instead of chopsticks (although will happily provide chopsticks on request) and a cursory glance of the menu reveals a concerning amount of americanisms in their translations of Chineseainstays. All of these could feasibly raise red flags for an inauthentic experience. And yet this is merely Jade Wok making good on the ageless mantra of 'promise little and overdeliver'. A closer look at the menu reveals a cavalcade of comfort food superstars not served in just any generic Chinese store. chow fun with gravy, a solid Cantonese staple features prominently alongside more generic (but delicious) chow mei noodles, with options for crunchy Hong Kong styles available. Sesame chicken and salty fish fried rice hit far above their weight on the poultry and fried rice sections. But it was the hearty jooks (rice porridge) that convinced me something special was in store. The selection hit all the bases, from a basic but dependable chicken porridge to the classic pork and thousand year egg, and the texture walked the fine line of wateriness and thickness with perfect skill. The first time I came alongside my friend, I leapt at the chance to order it, discovering he had never had it before, and where Western porridges are associated with flagorlessnrds and sickness, this singlehandedly converted the whole table to the joys of Chinese jook. The service is friendly and eager to please and customize orders, and you really get the homely sense of a family restaurant, in a way that's increasingly uncommon in our modern lives. This to me is the essence of Jade Wok - the rejection of the flashy, modern and corporate for something homely and comforting. An asset one can't find just anywhere. A discovey on my most recent visit well encapsulates what Jade Wok means to me. As a Cantonese style Chinese restaurant, I had assumed they would not serve the scrumptious Xiao long BAO soup dumplings which have slowly taken over the modern Chinese scene, and a cursory look at the menu's English text confirms this. However, go along with someone who knows Chinese and you'll realize the menu actually does have Xiao long BAO - it's just awkwardly translated as 'steamed dumplings', which may have made sense to a cautious American audience in 1990, but now deprives prospective customers of something they might desperately want. And when we ordered them, we found a soup dumpling that didn't just hold its own but stood out with slightly thicker skins and rounder shapes which avoid the terrible tendency of many soup dumplings to tear and spill, while retaining a flavorful soup filling and delectable taste. Glance over Jade Wok and you may think it generic, but look deep into it and you'll see your attentions rewarded tenfold. Easily my favorite restaurant I'm Chinatown, don't make the mistake I did and write it off because of it's looks and locale - this diamond in the rough is more than what it seems - it's a radiant hearty Jade. 5 stars.

Delicious, small family run restaurant.

Order the Ginger Chicken! Careful its a dish served chilled, first had it in Singapore and finding it, especially a good one is not easy. Also their homemade tofu as its written in the menu is perfect!

Absolutely great shrimp. Honey walnut shrimp is my favorite dish from this place. 😋

Kim chuy is better. The soup don't have favour

Awesome food and great prices, did I mention it was so good and fresh

I love this place. quick and friendly!!!

Impressive! Great sesame chicken, great food!!!

I love this place. They're quick and friendly. The Salt and pepper porkchops and egg fu young are to die for. They only accept cash.

I ordered egg drop soup with spring rolls. The egg drop soup had a good broth base without too much salt! Spring rolls were very flaky and crispy. Takeout was packaged well, napkins, plastic soup spoon & plastic takeout soup tub. The soup tub is very reusable (4 tree huggers). And the server was very polite and prompt.

Very affordable price and the food was delicious. I ordered L-09, which is chopped pork.

Love Jade Wok, nice clean vegetables, fresh food, delicious, cannot recommend enough, hubby goes for takeout once a week.

No MSG, good taste and covinient parking lot around the corner

Hole in the wall spot off the beaten path, my wife and I stumbled across this place while visiting the temple one day and we just had to go back. Really good Chinese food, huge portions and very affordable. It's our new go to spot in Chinatown.

The best chinese restaurant I've been to in Chinatown... love the Singapore chowfun, string beans, and chicken broccoli 🥦 dumpling,... Sue the owner is the best... i always get the spicy salty chicken wings
