About This Place

Nestled right at the gateway to Los Angeles’ vibrant Chinatown, Golden Tree Restaurant stands out as a cherished local gem specializing in authentic Chinese cuisine that beautifully balances tradition and flavor. From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed into a warm and unpretentious atmosphere where generous portions and unforgettable dishes take center stage.

Golden Tree’s menu reads like a love letter to classic Chinese favorites with standout offerings that fully engage the senses. The Chow Mein is a comforting staple, perfectly stir-fried with a delightful mix of fresh vegetables and tender noodles that have a satisfying chew. The Emperor's Pork Chop steals the spotlight with its crispy crust paired with juicy, succulent meat, while the White Cut Chicken showcases the elegance of simple yet precise cooking, delivering tender, perfectly moist chicken accompanied by just the right touch of seasoning.

Seafood lovers will find joy in dishes like the House Special Shrimp Rolls and the Crispy Pepper Calamari, where the calamari’s light, crispy coating gives way to a bold, peppery punch that keeps you coming back for more. The Seven Flavored Lamb Chops offer a rich, multi-layered taste experience with their aromatic spices and savory depth, while the Mongolian Beef menu item teases the palate with its tender slices bathed in a rich, subtly sweet brown sauce.

Vegetable dishes here are far from mere sides. The Mapo Tofu delivers a silky, spicy kick that complements the savory notes, while the Sauteed Chinese Broccoli with Garlic perfectly balances the freshness of the greens with fragrant garlic. For those seeking hearty comfort food, the Daily Combo meal boxes—featuring options like Pork Chop with Rice and Garlic Chicken Wings with Rice served alongside fried or steamed broccoli—offer satisfying, flavor-packed meals ideal for a quick lunch or takeaway.

The authentic experience extends beyond the food. As many patrons have joyfully noted, the service at Golden Tree is prompt and warm, enhancing a dining experience that feels both casual and thoughtfully executed. Customers rave about the large portions, the outstanding value, and the way every dish is packed with genuine flavors without overwhelming the palate. Whether you’re craving a comforting bowl of Yang Chow fried rice late at night or indulging in the crispy orange chicken that strikes the perfect balance of sweet and savory, Golden Tree Restaurant caters to every craving with heart and skill.

In short, Golden Tree is not just a meal stop but a culinary discovery that invites you to savor the hearty, authentic tastes of Chinese cuisine in a lively community setting.

    The type of local Chinese that every area should have. The food was super tasty and the portions were huge that we even took take away. The noodles with vegetables never go wrong and the orange chicken was amazing, not too sweet not too salty the perfect flavour to eat with plain rice . Very good service , amazing food and super cheap prices !

    A fantastic spot for truly exceptional food at an even better price. Conveniently located right on the border of Chinatown, relatively close to multiple hotels. I ordered the Pepper Fried Calamari and the Orange Crispy Chicken. The Calamari was crispy and had amazing flavor, and the portion size was plenty to satisfy and was well worth the price. The Orange Crispy Chicken was simply wonderful, the perfect blend sweet and savory. I consider myself to be picky when it comes to orange chicken, and this blew me away. Not only was it great as far as flavor goes, but the serving was considerably more than I had anticipated (a welcomed surprise). The service was also great; I was promptly seated, my order taken and served. Overall I had a great experience, and will undoubtedly be back when I return to LA.

    Came here late at night, about an hour before they closed. They served free hot tea with my meal. I got the Yang Chow fried rice, and it was as good as it was a large amount of food. I took home half of it as leftovers. Service was efficient, and the workers were all very kind. I will be coming back!

    Had the Beef Mignon With Mushroom which was wonderful with great flavour. The Braised String Beans was ok and the beef chow fun was pretty good too.

    Really friendly service, was very quick and the food was great. We got in around 11:50~ right before lunch rush and it was pretty quiet. When the lunch rush hit, it was still easy to talk and wasn't super loud. Definitely recommend trying this place out, I'm sure there's something you'll like!

    Food tasted great. The service was quick and our food came out pretty fast. I only wish the Kung-Pao Chicken was cut in smaller pieces for easier bites.

    It was a very good experience — minimalist, with excellent flavors, big portions, and fair prices. The service was very kind and welcoming! We love the experience to try the hot tea!! #depaseoysabor
