We’ve ordered takeout from this restaurant numerous times, but this was our first visit in person. The atmosphere and service are fairly standard — though we did notice a few flies occasionally flying around the dining area (not in the food, to be clear) — but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. When it comes to Sichuan cuisine in the West LA area, this place is truly top-tier.
We ordered the Griddle Cooked Cauliflower and the Green Peppercorn Fish, both of which were exceptional. The cauliflower was deeply flavorful, seasoned with rich aromatics and enhanced by the savory intensity of pork belly. The fish fillets were fresh, thinly sliced, and perfectly tender.

Read moreHop Woo, your Chinese Food Destination on the West Side💣 🥘 if you’re looking for delicious and authentic Chinese food on the west side, Hop Woo is your Go-to spot.

I usually don’t do reviews because I let things go, but I don’t think this was right. This review is coming from an average Joe and I was disappointed. The white guy walks behind me and kindly stands there. The first thing the ask him, is how can I help you. He felt bad and insisted I go first and they still ignored me to help him STILL.
