If You Can Only Eat at ONE Chinese Restaurant in LA's SGV... 🥢✨
I’d choose Da Pai Dang in San Gabriel — no question. I’ve lost count of how many friends I’ve blown away with this place, especially those visiting from Chinese-food deserts across the U.S. I’ve been here countless times and tried almost the whole menu. 😊😁 True to its name, Da Pai Dang specializes in wok-hei stir-fries and street-style skewers. Across the entire SGV, their dishes stand out for flavor, presentation, and creativity. The red checkered tablecloths and nostalgic murals give off major Cantonese retro vibes 🎞️ I’m especially obsessed with their Clay Pot (Jue Jue) Series: Chicken Wings Clay Pot Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs Perilla Iron Plate Bullfrog …all must-orders every time! For late-night cravings, their grilled skewers are totally worth it. 🍜 Hidden Gem: Stir-Fried Luosifen (River Snail Rice Noodles) The sour bamboo shoots are so authentic — instantly transported me back to Liuzhou! 🦪 Steamed Oysters – even better than grilled, so fresh and juicy. They even have live music at night 🎤 and private karaoke rooms! How multi-talented can one spot be?! No matter how many times I go, my love for this place never fades. Da Pai Dang truly stands out in the LA food scene. 🙌 Da Pai Dang 📍 250 W Valley Blvd #L, San Gabriel, CA 91776 #LAEats #SGVFood #ChineseFood #DaPaiDang #CantoneseStyle #WokHei #ClayPot
