Kar Son is LA's best Chinese restaurant outside the SGV

Kar Son is a slick Chinese restaurant at Row DTLA that attracts influencers in head-to-Givenchy and sprawling families who may or may not have been doing tai chi outside before dinner. The menu pulls regional specialties from all over China, which might normally be a red flag, but at Kar Son, it’s actually a strength. Whether you’re ordering a dish with roots in Sichuan, Yunnan, or an American Chinatown, you’ll end up with something fantastic. It might just be the best Chinese restaurant in LA outside the San Gabriel Valley.
