Zen Mei Bistro

Small bistro packed with amazing flavors. We had the eggplant and beef with green beans along with fried dumplings. Everything tasted great. If you make it for lunch special hours the food is a steal.

The food was good. You can get plates to share with your family.. My favorite there is the hot tea. All the dishes were really good.. Definitely would recommend it. Plates are about 20 dollars each more or less.. I wouldn't really get the beef broccoli because the meat wasn't that great.

This place is a beloved neighborhood staple. The lemon chicken is one of my favorite dishes. The breading is so thin and crispy, and the dipping sauce tastes like real lemons. I also love the braised string beans and pan fried yee mein noodles. The owner and staff are so nice and attentive, and they also support several Chinatown mutual aid orgs. I love them.

The ladies are really nice, got the pork and century egg congee and it had lots of pork in it compared to other spots I’ve been to around Chinatown! Also got their Singapore noodle stir fry which came with lots of various seafood!! I wish I also tried their fried shrimp but will definitely go back for that next time.

Good solid local Chinese restaurant close to my church. Enjoyed excellent REAL Cantonese Chinese food with reasonable prices. Lastly I think their chefs are magical; their kitchen sounds are not loud at all. Dishes ordered; veggies, salted fish pork patty, Singaporean noodles, egg plants, stewed fatty pork and chickenwings. So good...We'll be back!

The service attitude is average, and the hygiene is very poor. There is hair on the packed takeaway paper towels, and there is also hair in the packed bags. Then there is still some pot dust in the fried food, which is all gray after eating. Then they said that they would help me put chili in the packed dishes, and they all agreed. After giving the tip, they found that no chili was added to the dish, and they completely forgot the guest‘s request. The whole experience is very bad. You have to charge more for rice when packing meals on Sunday. You don’t need to add it at ordinary times. I don‘t understand why this special rule is?

Incredible and authentic Cantonese food. Very friendly staff (owner is chef, server, and dishwasher), affordable and great variety on the menu, and generous portions. A must try if you are looking for very good affordable Chinese food in the LA/ Chinatown area. Also has an A Health Department rating!
