" I have been coming to Paul's Kitchen longer than I can remember. Just recently, I took my kids there, and they were amazed at the food! They had never tried real Chinese food before. The chicken lo mein was a crowd-pleaser, and the service was accommodating. It's a cozy, albeit old-fashioned atmosphere, making you feel at home. I always leave with a smile! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're around downtown LA, you must swing by Paul's Kitchen! They serve a mixed bag of traditional dishes, from chow mein to wonton soup. My friends and I typically order family style, which allows us to sample lots of dishes. The only downside is that it's cash only, so be ready for that. Enjoyed every minute spent there, definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has been on my list for a while, and now I finally understand the hype! The chicken chow mein and BBQ pork were outstanding, and the large portion sizes were a bonus. The staff was attentive without being bothersome, which is ideal for a great dining experience. Though surroundings could do with a fresh coat of paint, overall, a delightful day out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Paul's Kitchen felt like a step back in time, but I mean that in a good way! The nostalgic atmosphere complements the fabulous food perfectly. I went for the sweet and sour pork, which was simply excellent. The staff made sure I was comfortable and pleased. I'll be sure to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Two weeks ago, I visited Paul’s Kitchen on the recommendation of a friend, and I was not disappointed! I enjoyed a delightful meal, complete with well-rounded flavors and generous portions of fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and more. The only drawback was that they don't take cards, which may be inconvenient for some, but otherwise, it's a gem worth checking out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to revisit Paul's Kitchen after several years, and I couldn't believe how time flew by. The restaurant still exudes the same charm, but now the menu has even more options! The wonton soup remains unrivaled, but my new favorite would be their special fried rice. You need to visit and try it for yourself, all excellent value! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled across Paul's Kitchen by accident while exploring downtown LA. What a delightful surprise! The first bite of their kung pao tofu struck me with authentic flavors. They didn't skimp on the spice levels, which I loved. The wait staff were friendly and very attentive. Despite the old-school look reminiscent of a classic diner, this place is a gem! Can't wait to come back with friends. " (*Curated Review*)
