A low-key, no-frills spot tucked away in Walnut, serving what I consider some of the best potato noodles in LA. The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles are perfectly chewy, and adding a fried egg is a must. The menu is diverse and everything is solid — the Hainan chicken rice is surprisingly good, even for non-noodle lovers, and the fried skewers are a hidden gem with nostalgic flavors. Affordable, comforting, and reliable. Around $15 for a full, satisfying meal. Not flashy, but definitely a place you’ll keep coming back to.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The Hainan chicken was tender and juicy, and the skewers were wel-seasoned! The restaurant's interior is very cozy, decorated with plants and Chinese-themed items. Ordering is easy with the QR code on each table, which is convenient. This spot specializes in potato noodles, skewers, and Hainan chicken. Combo #1 comes with two bowls of rice and soup, a plate of chicken, cucumber salad, and fried peanut. The rice is very fragrant and the chicken was tasty with the sweet and spicy sauces. The potato noodles is very tasty. I will say the best one in LA. If you want to add more protein to the soup that’s good. It is also good for the original recipe. I absolutely love the numbing, peppery flavor of Sichuan pepper in potato noodles.

This is a low-key, no-frills spot in Walnut that really delivers on flavor. Everything we ordered was comforting, generous, and honestly better than expected. The Hainan chicken rice was a standout, super tender chicken with just the right amount of chicken aroma, not greasy at all. The rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the dipping sauces tied everything together perfectly. The potato starch noodles in the clay pot were amazing. The broth was rich and savory, clearly simmered with chicken and bones, and the noodles had that QQ, chewy texture that makes you keep going back for more. It came with plenty of toppings and stayed hot the whole time. We also tried a few skewers and small dishes, which were flavorful and well-seasoned, especially for sharing. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable. we left full and happy.
