  • Slow _and_ bad; not even particularly cheap. Not a winning combination for a fast-food place, especially when there's competition just a couple blocks away. My coworker and I go to Orient Express around the corner on Forbes almost every week; every few months we decide to change it up and go to this place instead. I usually end up regretting it. Last time we went we both ordered kung-pao chicken; she got white rice and the crab rangoon, while I had the fried rice and a spring roll. I will say the fried rice was better than OE; rather than just being some rice that had been fried, it had actual vegetables in it. However, this was the only upside. Even during lunch rush, Orient Express is usually quite fast. This place was incredibly slow; we stood in the door for several minutes before being seated, and it took over 20 minutes from when we ordered until we got our food. I have been seated and served and nearly finished my meal in less time than Little Asia took to make our food (and didn't have to retrieve my own chopsticks and hot sauce, either). This could mean that LA's food is fresher than OE's... but it didn't seem to be the case. The chicken was tough and chewy--as my officemate put it, it was like being served a plateful of trimmings. The carrots and green peppers were limp, and the only real heat--almost the only flavor--came from the little dried red peppers. The spring roll was one of the worst I've ever had, greasy and not even particularly hot; the wrapper was so far from crisp it bent when I bit into it. Even the fortune cookie was stale. As some others have noted, this place is built into an atrium constructed between the Irish Design Center and Eat Unique buildings. Unfortunately, most of what this means is during the lunch rush it is not only crowded but very, very loud; it's often quite chilly to boot. tl;dr: Less food, less good than Orient Express, and it costs more, too. Don't waste your time or your money.
