If you watch NBC's Chuck, you've probably seen the sizzling shrimp episode. I believe that is based on Yang Chow's Slippery Shrimp, possibly one of the best Chinese dishes around. Located in Chinatown, this authentic Chinese restaurant is a great value, but definitely order family style. There are lots of options, as is typical of Chinese restaurants, so get a few dishes and share. Once seated, the table is provided with a pot of hot green tea. Beyond that, we always like to start with the spring rolls and the hot & sour soup. There are about 8 different soups to chose from and they come in orders for 2 or for 4 people, but it really serves about twice as many people as it's supposed to. Next we devour a dish of the slippery shrimp, which is always quick to go! For the entrees we always switch it up. We are yet to find an entree dish that we absolutely love and must get every time. So far we have tried the beef & broccoli, lemon chicken, beef with green peppers, and the house special chicken (upon our last waiter's recommendation). We were not disappointed with any of them, but also haven't found the one entree we always have to have. There's usually enough food left to take home for a snack or meal and it generally costs less than $20/person. Also, it should be noted that they serve really decently priced alcoholic beverages here. Bottled beers for just $3, that's a deal you won't find too often in LA.
