Genghis Cohen Concerts 2024

I had a fun time... We went around 3pm. Food came fast and hot. Some reviews said the food was cold, I don't know what they were talking about egg rolls burnt my tongue, the butterfly shrimp was super hot as well, I had to wait for them to cool down before eating. The Catfish held its heat well and was still steaming well into dinner. My go to dish and benchmark, is always the Honey walnut shrimp. Theirs was excellent. I live in the neighborhood and drove by here all the time but never dropped in I was not disappointed. My guest use to come here 20yrs ago and she loved it.

The food and service are really good; I totally recommend it. I'm from Venezuela, and it reminds me of Venezuelan Chinese food. Portions are generous, so you can enjoy a great family-style meal with friends and family. Additionally, they have a small area where people sing, so it's cool that the restaurant supports local artists.

I will agree with many other reviews in that the food is good, but not great. However given it’s history, it’s been open since 1983 in the Fairfax District, and how well known it is around LA, I feel it’s important for any local to visit at least once. They have a fairly large free parking lot attached too so parking is refreshingly easy. They have a live stage show area attached to the building, and there was a punk show just starting as we were sitting down to eat, but they do a good job with noise management so we didn’t hear them. I really enjoyed the all red interior and red lanterns hanging from the ceiling because they both added to the mood and really made you feel like you had been transported to another decade. We had to wait about 10mins after arriving on time for our reservation to sit down, but our wait was very nice and did a good job. For our meal we chose a few classic starters and two of our favorite traditional Chinese entrees. To start we ordered the New York Style Eggrolls (they were pretty good although I wish the shell was crispier and there was a larger meat to veggie ratio), Cream Cheese Wontons (these were great, however pretty small and only came with 4), and the Skewered Beef (probably my favorite starter because it had the classic flavor that I am used to). For our entrees we chose Mongolian Beef with Broccoli added, and Orange Chicken. We enjoyed both and would order both again, however we both have had other better versions around town. Overall a good, historic, Chinese restaurant and venue in the Fairfax District. It also was very lively so would be a fun place to have a dinner and/or catch a show.

Really good food and reasonable prices. Spring rolls are amazing. Service was not consistent but it was great cause we had no reservations and the wait wasn’t horrible even though the place was packed. I’ll definitely go back

I ate here at 4pm on a random Sunday and it was incredible. I came to honor my late dad, whose birthday it was, because he loved Chinese food. Even though I came in alone, the server Jeff and his trainee were so kind and helpful and sweet, I was in tears when I left because they treated me so well and so kind. Jeff even comped one of my drinks, a Moscow mule, my dad’s favorite, just because he cared. The little things made such a huge difference, and even though they didn’t know it, those servers made my day. The food was delicious, the restaurant is gorgeous, and the service is great. Definitely don’t miss this hidden gem, I’m so glad I came. Thank you to the whole staff for the incredible kindness I was shown on a hard day. I will be returning for sure. Give Jeff a raise.
