Best Chinese Outside of the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles?

MrMephistoX · Oct 25, 2018

Sooo I'm enjoying my new job but between a German Fighter Jet Crashing on the 101

...and just a rash of accidents its been taking me almost 2 hours to get home every day this week. Hopefully next week will be better but I am considering moving within the next year, at least once I'm not in danger of getting reamed with taxes since we've owned our place for less than 3 years.

My question is where are there some decent asian enclaves close to Thousand Oaks and Ventura County? The houses and schools in the Simi Valley are definitely attractive but its looking like the closest asian supermarket and restaurants are in Van Yuys?

I'm still puzzled why somebody painted an old T-6 like a German aircraft. They're popular old warbirds, especially in SoCal, but most people paint them to look like what they did at some point during their active career, not like the fucking Luftwaffe of all things.

Also, there's no decent Chinese outside the SGV. It's a fool's errand.

Shanghai Bistro, China Garden, and Sichuan Impression are all pretty decent in the Woodland/Calabasas area.

Try the Asian buffet on Victory and Canoga right by the Topanga mall. Across the street from Best buy, right next to Paninis. Pretty good.

ColdSun · Oct 26, 2018

Droidian's suggestion is also quite good from what I recall.

Sichuan Inpression just opened in West LA

Don't really care for Chinese food but the Fu House in Glendale/Eagle Rock is good.

GFP_RYU · Oct 26, 2018

A and W Seafood Restaurant in Reseda, Sherman Way and Yang Chow in Chinatown are pretty good

That place is pretty good, I've only had it once in the past year. There's a lot of good Pho on that same block and Thai food just down the street from there as well.

MrMephistoX · Oct 26, 2018

There's a place with beef noodle in Northridge that is fucking amazing. A couple of Chinese dudes introduced it to me during college.

People drive from all over SoCal just to get the Noodles

MrMephistoX · Oct 26, 2018

Also how ironic is it that Asian dudes like us is all about da food? Well in my case 50% ;) Like I am fucking making important life decisions based around food!???

Qvoth · Oct 26, 2018

Not Asian but all the Asian dudes I was in college with always knew where the best food was at. Didn't matter where they were from either. It was like they came to the states with a list of where to eat and where not to go.

I really should have gone exploring in the SGV more. I only went to a few restaurants there.

Is that the Sumo Buffet?

TheUnseenTheUnheard · Oct 27, 2018

If the taste in games of those on this site is any indicator, you shouldn't ask them for their opinions on food.

Troll · Oct 27, 2018

Honestly the best Chinese I've ever had is Panda Express so I should probably Just keep my opinion to myself

I've only ever ate there Once in my life. And I'm pretty close to it.

To answer OP, I'm not Asian at all.

Since we're on topic of food in the Valley, is there anywhere to eat good Filipino food out here? I can go for some lumpia and pansit

The OP didn't specify local to LA. Just "outside of." ;)

Oakland's Chinese restruant shut down way too often due to health violations.

"Close to Thousand Oaks and Ventura County" narrows it down a bit, although I suppose Oakland is fairly close to Thousand Oaks from a global perspective.
