In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Los Angeles; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–9 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (213) 485-1294. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is foochowla.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Loved the food it was delicious, the prices are reasonable and the ambiance is nice and calm. You have to try there orange chicken. Ofcourse this place is also iconic because of the rush hour movie restaurant scene, that was filmed in this very reastaurant.

Besides being known for its' appearance in the Rush Hour movie, it is a pretty unassuming restaurant in Chinatown. Traditional Chinese restaurant vibes and food. They have some photos of the cast back when they filmed the movie on the wall as well. The food is solid and I do not think you could go wrong here. The beef chow fun is not too saucy but still flavorful. The string beans have a decent crunch and the kung pao chicken is tender and delicious. I also need to call out how good the hot tea was. It reminded me of this dragon jasmine tea that I have loved in the past. We even got some to-go cups on the way out because it was just so good. Now for my standard comments. The location is clean and well kept. Comfortable indoor seating. There is an upstairs that you can check out but another floor that is cloesd off as well.

Pretty good traditional Chinese restaurant. Of course mostly known for its appearance in the first Rush Hour movie. This is a great place to visit history while enjoying good food. You start off with Jasmine tea and then I tired the egg rolls and seafood soup to start off. I then got the Half crispy duck, orange chicken, shrimp and broccoli, house special chow mein, and sliced fish with red wine sauce. Orange chicken had good flavor and the red wine sauce has a good herb flavor to it. The red wine isn't as intense like other cuisines that reduce it into a sauce so it isn't overpowering. Parking is street parking and there are lots around too. First floor makes it very wheelchair accessible and great for kids/family
