Food was not what we expected. We've been coming here for a while and today the food was poorly made. Orange Chicken was all batter and extremely chewy I couldn't eat it, chowmain was over cooked with no flavor. Was not happy about my food. Oh and after spending almost $100 they can't give you white rice. They change for plain rice. Won't be going back.
One of the few remaining banquet-style Cantonese restaurants in our beloved Chinatown is still holding well on its own. Smaller in stature behind some of the other bigger names and locations, Full House may have been in the shadows, but they have shined in fulfilling staples in Cantonese Cuisine. This is not a Dim Sum restaurant, but you will have dinner favorites with especially fresh seafood varieties. As they may struggled through recent years, there are hits and misses, but you will get a good Cantonese meal with decent service. Parking is street, and/or a couple of local pay lots. Evening hours don't seem to have too many issues in finding street parking within a short walk.
As other reviews have stated, if you can tolerate the service, give this place a try. A lady next to our table ordered appetizers and we got our food before her (even though it appeared as though she had been there for a while, she already had food at her table). Staff delivers your food quietly and doesn't really ask you what you need, you need to speak up. Food is amazing (I got the house noodle soup) and cooked just right. Wait time wasn't too bad but again, service could've been better.
This was our first time here. The food was good the service needs help. They served ketchup with our fried gyoza 🤢. We asked where was the ponze sauce he said no this is what comes with it. I've never had ketchup served with fried goyzas ever. The fried crab was delicious as was the war wonton soup. The War Wonton soup was probably some of the best I've had. The waiter was acting like he was in a rush just to take our order when we just received the menus. We ordered a lot of food because this was our first time here and we all wanted to try different things. The waiter told us that's too much food for us. We should be able to order what we want and how much we want without the server not wanting to add to our order because he thinks it's too much. He got an attitude because we added more to our order. We knew we would have leftovers we just wanted to try items but they were all family-style, so of course it was a lot of food for three people. I think the servers need a course in customer service. I would give them another try hopefully we get a different server.
We ordered roast duck, snow pea leaves sautéed with garlic, fried pork chops and Hong Kong noodle soup. Everything taste good. The noodle soup broth was great. Recommended.
When in LA and you're craving authentic Chinese food, this is the place to go! I have not not liked a single food I order here. My family has been coming here since in the 90s. Good place for a big or small group. You'll be coming back once you try it.
Based on the reviews regards to services before coming, I wasn't expecting anything and yup, just like those poor reviews on bad services, it's true. Don't expect services here. They don't come check in you; they move around so fast to various tables it was difficult to get their attention.
We ordered four items to share: Deep fried fish, Mongolian beef, sliced beef curry and crab& chicken fried rice; they were DELICIOUS!!
I definitely recommend for good Chinese food if you can ignore the poor services.

Authentic Chinese food in China town! Price was really reasonable, compared to other restaurants nowadays. The food was fresh and tasty. French beef and scallop are a must try :) hope you experience same as we did in this restaurant.
