🇺🇸 Must-Visit Chinese Restaurant in LA
Tired of “white people food”? Craving real Chinese flavors lately! A friend recommended Bistro Na's — an essential spot for Beijing cuisine, and it even has a Michelin star! ⭐ Though it’s a bit far from where I live, my first visit (after a trip to Huntington Library) was a total delight — and I’ve been back many times since! 🏮 Specializing in imperial dishes from the Qing Dynasty 👑, it’s pricier than your average Chinese spot, but three dishes are more than enough for two — you’ll leave stuffed and satisfied! Here’s what I recommend trying: 1️⃣ Crispy Prawns 🍤 A must-order signature dish! Sweet, tangy, and crispy — marinated with hawthorn for a unique kick. Feels like eating fried chicken with a tangy twist — so good! 👍🏻 2️⃣ Braised Pork Belly with Abalone 🐖✨ Tender abalone meets melt-in-your-mouth pork belly — rich and flavorful without being greasy. Calories? Ignore them and enjoy every bite 😄 3️⃣ Zhajiang Noodles 🍜 Authentic and delicious — the staff even helps mix it for you. Such a nice touch! Also worth trying: Jing Jiang Rou Si (shredded pork in sweet bean sauce), beef pie, and leek pockets — all delicious! 😋 If you want something lighter, try their “afternoon tea” set: Jing Ba Jian (eight Beijing pastries) with cold appetizers 🍵 And lastly — don’t miss the Peking Duck 🦆! It’s absolutely incredible, but remember to order one day in advance! 📍 Bistro Na's 9055 Las Tunas Dr #105, Temple City, CA 91780 #LAChineseFood #MichelinStar #BeijingCuisine #ImperialDishes #MustTryLA
