Meizhou Dongpo

Each dish is great! And also service is brilliant! You can feel the most traditional warmly welcome from Chinese Culture! You must try this：Roast duck is definitely a must-try item every time I visit; I can eat just one duck by myself. The skin is particularly crispy, and the meat is especially soft.Kung Pao chicken cubes, sour and sweet, exactly same to what is in China.

Chinese New Year 2025, America may be going to hell in a hand basket in the month of January (wildfires, plane crashes, and what not) but all is well at Meizhou Dongpo -- great service and food. * Peking Duck - good but needs more wrappers. Why stick them to parchment paper? separating them is a royal pain.* Shrimp with scallion sauce - very light and refreshing* Dan Dan Noodle - ordered non-spicy, a perfect bowl!* Country-Style Pork - mildly spicy and very addictive with white rice!* Coconut Almond Mochi dessert - not too sweet, goes great with hot tea!

I had a good experience at this restaurant when it first opened many years ago as it was considered upscale Chinese food so was excited to go back and try the meals again with a friend.The parking can be challenging as it is in a busy strip mall so leave plenty of time for parking and walking to the restaurant. The restaurant needs some updating as the seats were all ripped and huge chunks of fabric was missing. We were also seated near the restroom so you could smell urine where we were so that made for a slightly unpleasant experience.We ordered 3 dishes. The stir fried mushrooms came with 3 varieties and the flavor was excellent. The wok spicy hot pot was also pretty good. They were able to make it less spicy since I'm a wimp when it comes to spice. The flavor was good but the pork was slightly tough and I didn't care for the Spam in the dish. The last dish was the pork belly. It came with about 10 pieces of very thinly sliced pork belly and the rest was the preserved vegetable. It was quite salty and I think it would've been better if there was a tiny bit of sugar added.Overall, I was disappointed in the portion size and quality of food for the price as well as the condition of the restaurant.

Came last night for a late Lunar New Year Dinner. Make reservations, as this place gets PACKED fast.Interior is a bit snug. They really maximize the amount of seating that can be place in the restaurant. Decorations are beautiful and comes across very clean and fancy. Service is so-so. We were able to get help more easily in the later end of the meal, but in the beginning, our waiter took our drink orders one at a time... as in, ordered for 1/2 people, left to get the drinks, came back, and repeated the process 5 more times (table of 10). Would've been way easier just to take us all at once. Food is without a question.. delicious. We ordered more, but this is what I remembered. Roasted duck**Mung bean noodle**Serrano pepper beef**Dongpo pork bellyAvocado saladJelly fish and Chinese cabbage saladBlack fungus and onion in vinegarStir fried asparagus**Steamed sole fishRice cake with brown sugar** items were exeptionally amazing and I highly recommend ordering. Everything else was also very good. No complaints on food. Drinks are also really good. I enjoyed the passion fruit drink.

My first time coming to this place. It's a bit packed at the time of my visit but we're seated right away. It's spacious, well-lit, and clean. Our server was very prompt, friendly, and efficient. We ordered:Chrysanthemum hot teaDan Dan noodles 7.99- appetizer. Cold.noodle with ground meat and some spices.Cucumber Salad 9.99- somewhat similar to dtf cucumber saladWok fried Bamboo shoot 9.99- yumSweet and Sour Fish 69.99 - this is a whole fish that are prepared and cut intricately. Fish was Crispy, soft and buttery texture Serrano Pepper Beef 27.99- thinly sliced beef with Serrano pepper and soupy. I recommend to order this with medium spicySome.of the meal are a bit on the high price but servings are big enough and can be shared between 4-6 ppl. I love the fried fish and Serrano pepper beef the most. I really enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be coming back.

Have to be honest I was overall disappointed.For a place that is featured at the Olympics I was hoping for some really really good cooking. Decor was not as impressive upon walking in as photos made it look. Definitely showed signs of wear and tear. Food was fine but I can get better tasting and more authentic Chinese food at other small mom and pop places all over LA. The food here was way too overpriced for the cooking skill. It was like bistro na prices for half the skill. That's my main disappointment. Also they celebrate birthdays but not anniversaries - just a note.The best thing here is truly the duck. That I absolutely enjoyed. Everything else was again, okay, just didn't warrant the prices. $80 for one sweet and sour fish? $40 for two pieces of little abalone? OH and... scallops had gritty bits/ sand in it.... that's a huge sign of quality issue. Fam... again taste didn't justify price. I'll get my better tasting Chinese for half the price elsewhere.

Classy, clean, and courteous staff. The food here is top notch. A friend I was dining with noted this is more Southern Chinese-styled dishes. The chili pepper notation is helpful to see on the menu. Despite them being know for spicy, we ordered our dishes mild and were not disappointed. Our favorite dishes were the sweet and sour fried fish and the Serrano pepper beef. The latter was like a sukiyaki beef dish. The former is like having sweet & sour pork but with fish. Super delish! The service was on point. Our chrysanthemum tea was filled often while we dined. We didn't have room for dessert or additional dishes. Payment was a breeze (they use Toast) and even handled a to-go order pretty seamlessly. We plan to come back again to enjoy their other signature dishes.

We came to try the duck, which we had to wait 40 mins for them to cook it. While we waited we ordered some dishes to try. Spicy Sichuan food with lots of flavorRecommend here for group gatherings. Family style dinners Service is friendly since all of them are walking aroundVery popular joint with families and gathering Beautiful decor and decently loud noise level with lots of people

Authentic Beijing roast duck and good service. A good price as well, totally recommended!

Good service, atmosphere, and food! Ordered fish with scallion, spicy beef, and Dongpo pork. All delicious!
