Reservations: don't leave home without them. When the dining hour rolls around, don't expect an open table. At Mr. Chow L.A., Hollywood royalty dine on the elaborate cuisine of traditional Chinese royalty. Don't miss the squab lettuce wrap or sesame prawn toast as a starter. For many regulars, trusting the waitstaff to create a personalized menu is a common occurrence. The menu features traditional Beijing dishes such as Peking duck and hand-pulled noodles along with numerous vegetarian options, favorites of many Hollywood starlets and industry moguls. We're always coerced into ordering the lychee for dessert, and honestly, we're always very happy that we did. Deliciously happy.
