Foo-Chow Restaurant

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.

Unfortunately very underwhelming flavor. Service was inattentive and not friendly. The food was very bland and nothing really popped, the orange chicken didn’t really taste like anything neither did the orange beef. The only mildly tasty choice was the Chicken Chow Fun. Not sure why the reviews are so high unless I somehow came on an off day. If I’m being completely honest you’re better off going to Panda Express. Their Beijing beef and orange chicken actually has flavor.

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

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.
