Reviews
Na’s Secret Tofu is another one that really stood out for me the chili tofu skin was was also a hit!
Golden Dungeness Crab with Pumpkin and Salted Egg, I would recommend this over the Garlic deep fried crab if you have to choose… We got both.
Black Cod with Eggplant was gigantic but the server portioned it out perfectly. I was so full by the time it was served that I shared mine. Same with the Beijing Zhajang Noodles and intestines.
Braised Abalone and Pork Belly, use the canoed top half of the Chinese Fluffy Pie (skip the bottom half) for a perfect protein to carb ratio.
All the veggies were amazing, we ordered pea sprouts with mushrooms, asparagus, and the perfectly prepared okra
We were seated in the private dining to celebrate a special birthday. Comfortably seated 12 guests and the staff were very attentive. What a great way to kick off the new year! Thank you to the entire Bistro Na team for making it a Michelin star worthy memorable night!!!
The ambiance is elegant with traditional Chinese influences, and the dishes are beautifully plated and visually impressive.
The cuisine leans toward Manchu imperial–style Chinese dishes, rather than typical American Chinese food.
Flavor-wise, the execution was generally consistent. The clear standout—and an absolute must-order—is the Crispy Shrimp. The shrimp are generously sized, coated in an ultra-crispy exterior, while the inside remains tender and juicy. The sweet-and-sour sauce is well-balanced and clings nicely to the shrimp, making this by far the most memorable dish of the meal.
Other dishes were more mixed. The Cold Jellyfish Salad, Old Beijing Smoked Duck Breast, and Hidden Treasure Lotus Root were solid. The Stewed Seafood Feast with Rice Crackers was rather mild and lacked depth, while the Stir-Fried Angus Beef and Na’s Braised Kurobuta Pork Belly leaned overly sweet and salty, best paired with rice.
Peking Duck was unavailable that evening. If this is a dish you’re hoping to try, it’s best to call ahead and confirm availability before your visit.
Service was the weakest part of the experience. While ordering was handled well, attentiveness dropped noticeably as the meal went on, and we frequently had to signal for basic needs like water, tea, and utensils. Most concerning was an interaction with a female server who responded in a loud and visibly impatient tone when I politely asked whether all dishes had been served. As we were dining with parents and elders, I chose not to address it at the table, but the moment felt uncomfortable and disrupted the atmosphere.
Given that a service charge was already included for a large party, it was disappointing to feel that the level of attentiveness and professionalism did not reflect that expectation. Rather than feeling taken care of, the service at times felt rushed and dismissive, which stood out in an otherwise formal dining setting.
It’s hard not to feel that service may be one of the reasons the restaurant no longer holds its Michelin star. While the food and setting still reflect a fine-dining standard, service consistency is essential at that level, and this is an area that clearly needs more attention.
The final bill for seven people came to $650+, which, considering the food and service, does not represent strong value. This is very much a restaurant you visit for the ambiance and presentation rather than culinary excitement.
Overall, Na’s Place works best for formal occasions—hosting parents, elders, or business-related dinners—where the setting and visual impact matter. It is undeniably a fancy, high-end Chinese restaurant that makes an impression, but service quality needs meaningful improvement. For everyday dining in Los Angeles, with so many excellent and better-value Chinese options available, it’s hard to justify returning.
Environment ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An elegant and refined Chinese restaurant. The space feels polished and intentional, striking a great balance between upscale and comfortable.
Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Crispy Shrimp ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent. Full of flavor with a satisfying texture—rich, bold, and very well executed.
• Tofu Dish ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A pleasant surprise. I initially thought it was pumpkin, but it turned out to be tamago tofu coated with salted egg yolk crumbs. Savory, fragrant, and beautifully balanced.
• Osmanthus Lotus Root ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Nicely done, but slightly less sweet than I would prefer—as a Shanghainese diner, I expected a bit more sweetness.
• Jing Jiang Rou Si with Pancakes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very good and authentic. Properly seasoned and executed the way it should be.
• Chive Pockets ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Solid overall, though the egg pieces were cut a bit too large for my taste (a minor, picky detail).
• Dim Sum Platter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Outstanding. Everything was delicious and immediately reminded me of Siji Minfu in Beijing.
This place genuinely operates at a mainland China level in terms of flavor and execution.
Overall Thoughts
From technique to flavor, this restaurant delivers consistently at a very high standard. It’s rare to find a Chinese restaurant abroad that feels this authentic and well executed across so many dishes.
Will I come back?
Absolutely.
As many other reviewers have mentioned, the dishes seem premade. The short rib tasted stale and was honestly difficult to get through. The cold chicken dish was mostly skin and also had a stale flavor. Both left such a bad taste in our mouths that it really ruined the meal overall.
The tofu ribbon salad was delicious and easily the highlight. The fried rice was fine, nothing special but acceptable.
It’s probably fine to try once out of curiosity, but overall it’s not a great place and not somewhere I’d go back to.
