Kar Son is arguably the best Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles outside the San Gabriel Valley (SGV). Located at Row DTLA, it serves an ambitious menu of regional Chinese dishes spanning Sichuan, Yunnan, Hunan, and American Chinatown influences.
The restaurant stands out because its food is consistently excellent across a surprisingly broad menu. Expect bold flavors, excellent fried dishes, noodles, seafood, and inventive appetizers.
Kar Son is worth visiting whether you're looking for a casual dinner, date night, family gathering, or big group meal.
