Top Best Chinese Restaurants in Venice Beach

"You've probably already heard of Mr. Chow, an iconic restaurant from London with a deep history in Hollywood. There are locations all over the U.S., including in New York and Florida, but the one on Camden Drive in Beverly Hills is where all the celebs go. The food is classic Chinese with a modern twist, and several dishes have been on the menu for decades, including the Beijing Duck, which should always be included in a dinner order."

"Chang's on W Katella Avenue has several pet-friendly outdoor tables, so you are welcome to bring your dog along. The United State's most popular Asian casual restaurant chain, P.F. Chang's has a variety of Chinese, Thai, and Asian specialties like Chang's Spicy Chicken, Kung Pao Shrimp, Pad Thai."

"The P.F. Chang's experience is a unique combination of Chinese cuisine, attentive service, wine, and tempting desserts all served in a stylish, high-energy bistro. Reservations required. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +1 714-507-2021"

"Family-friendly chain offering creative takes on Chinese fare in a striking space. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +1 714-507-2021. Asian-Fusion, 1.4 MILES"

"This second floor space looks unassuming from the street but inside there’s possibly the best Sichuan food outside of San Gabriel Valley and it’s deep in the Westside. Sure, there’s Din Tai Fung and Meizhou Dongpo at nearby Century City, but the real Sichuan spice lovers will come to this Santa Monica Boulevard strip mall for one of LA’s top Chinese restaurants. Try the special noodles, cold chicken, and toothpick lamb."

"The newest dish to join Szechuan Impression's menu is this tea smoked rack of ribs. Fragrant and very succulent, the meat falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. The dish won't officially be available until February 4th, but if you ask nicely who knows?"

"Our Favorite Dishes: Dan Dan Noodles, Couple’s Sliced Beef, Mung Bean Jelly Noodles, Toothpick Lamb. Chengdu Taste isn’t just an SGV mainstay, it’s a restaurant every Angeleno needs to go to at least once. The menu is comprised mostly of staples from the Szechuan province of China, which means you should come prepared for a lot of spice and a lot of flavor."

"Chengdu Taste has all the greatest Sichuan hits, from toothpick lamb and mapo tofu to mung bean noodles. Take it all to peaceful Alhambra Park for the kind of spicy, mala picnic you can only have in LA. View this post on Instagram"

"Kim Sun Kitchen, a Chinese and Cambodian spot in Long Beach, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 111 Yelp reviews. Head over to 5449 Cherry Ave. to see for yourself."

"What’s to become of the pop-up food scene that emerged so fruitfully during the pandemic?. It’s hard to offer broad strokes for the underground, often at-home ecosystem at large moving forward, precisely because the movement has been so personal for so many, from laid-off line cooks to at-home bakers who simply wanted to use the pandemic as a moment to fuel their passion projects. Say It Ain’t So made it further than most over the past year-plus, opening an all-vegan burger-and-sides shop inside of a physical location, sharing space with Tamales Alberto in Historic Filipinotown."

"If these restaurants weren't open so late, I'm 99% sure they would all go out of business. They're so disgusting even by fast food standar..."

"Restaurateur Sam Fox, who’s behind Third Street Promenade-adjacent spots like True Food Kitchen and Flower Child, opened a North Italia outpost in Santa Monica last year. And although it’d be easy to dismiss a chain restaurant with locations in Arizona and Texas, this place is a solid bet when you want to enjoy hand-made pizzas (go for the meaty Pig pie piled with spicy pepperoni, soppressata, and sausage) and pasta on an airy patio in the middle of tourist town. The calamari is crisp and served with lemon vinaigrette, the garlic bread chunks come doused in white truffle and topped with house-made ricotta, and the Bolognese spaghetti is dusted with a generous portion of Grana Padano cheese."

"Located at The Point, El Segundo’s trendy open air shopping center, North Italia is a modern take on the traditional Italian restaurant. The restaurant is fun and lively with a nicely decorated main dining room or a patio dining area that is open to the rest of the restaurant, which gives you the best of both worlds. The menu at North Italia is a nicely curated selection of appetizers, salads, pizzas, pastas and Italian house specialties as well as a kids menu that will appeal to all tastes."

"If you have kids with you, then your next stop needs to be the Discovery Museum. The place is a playground full of incredible attractions for the little ones to explore and to interact with. Even as an adult it is a lot of fun, so I imagine for a kid it would be a mind-blowing experience. Be sure to go outside and walk through the inside of a dinosaur, and climb into the middle of the big black cube to explore a rocket."

"Housed in the historic 1911 Elizabeth Milbank Anderson House. The Long Beach Museum of Art was founded in 1950 as a municipal art center for the city of Long Beach. In addition to checking out current, upcoming, and permanent exhibitions you can also visit LBMA’s Sculpture Garden designed to allow you to experience and reconnect with art in the current era of physical distancing."

"One of the best ways to experience culture in this city is by visiting the Long Beach Museum of Art. You can see incredible and thought-provoking works at this institution. It’s one of the most enticing Long Beach attractions, and there’s always something exciting happening."

"You could easily spend an entire day at the Natural History Museum. They have dinosaur skeletons (including the world's only Tyrannosaurus rex growth series), dioramas with animals from around the world, a spectacular collection of gems and minerals, and we can keep going but we’ll run out of room. You can stroll through their Nature Gardens, and learn more about plants and animals in their Nature Lab."

"Established in 1913, The Natural History Museum is the largest history museum in the western United States. Welcoming over 1,000,000 visitors every year, the museum is home to nearly 35 million original natural samples, illustrations, and artifacts that cover 4.5 billion years of history. Prepare to be amazed by state-of-the-art multimedia stations making information fun and interactive."
