Chinese Restaurant $$ 4.2Google (689)


Genghis Cohen is a popular dining spot in LA known for its lively atmosphere and a blend of New York-style Chinese cuisine.

" Had an interesting experience dining here recently. The ambiance inside Genghis Cohen is quite lively with a lot of creative decoration reminiscent of classic Chinese restaurants. However, I found their food to be somewhat lacking in authenticity. While the egg rolls were crispy and enjoyable, the general quality of flavors was just alright. I think it’s an excellent venue for groups and gatherings though, and the portions are incredibly generous. Overall, I had fun, but I do think there’s room for improvement in the food department. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time dining at Genghis Cohen, and I must admit, I had mixed feelings. While the atmosphere was undeniably energetic and festive, I found the food to be just okay. The dumplings were quite small and lacking in flavor; I expected to taste something more authentic. We did enjoy the egg rolls, which had a delightful crispness. Service was prompt, but it felt almost too rushed at times as if they wanted to clear our table quickly. I likely won’t return for the food, but the ambiance might bring me back for drinks and music events. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today I just finished a meal at Genghis Cohen and I'm still feeling satisfied! The atmosphere is colorful and full of life, which makes me want to come back. We shared numerous dishes, and I particularly loved the orange chicken which was perfectly cooked. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the prices felt fair for what we received. While it does lack some authenticity, it’s delicious in its own right. I would recommend it for a fun outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the opportunity to visit Genghis Cohen with my family last week, and it was a delightful experience overall. The restaurant has an energetic vibe, filled with customers enjoying their meals and live performances in the background. I ordered the Mongolian beef and it was packed with flavor; definitely a highlight of the visit! The service was friendly but a bit slow as it was quite packed that night. However, the generous portions more than made up for the slower service. Although the authenticity might not be perfect, the food is well worth it for the taste and ambiance. I would happily return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every experience at Genghis Cohen has been a culinary experience! The atmosphere is delightfully animated, especially on weekends with live performances. We loved sharing a variety of dishes; from the walnut shrimp to the fried rice, everything was fresh and generously portioned. Despite its lack of authenticity in the traditional sense, the flavors are vibrant and appealing. Our server was incredibly friendly, making the experience all the more enjoyable. This place definitely satisfies my craving for great Chinese food with a fun twist! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Genghis Cohen has been a flavorful adventure! Last week, I went with a group of friends, and we absolutely enjoyed the lively live music while dining. I highly recommend the walnut shrimp and lo mein; they’re always cooked to perfection. The only drawback is that getting a table can become tricky as the place tends to fill up quickly, especially during show nights. When you walk in, you’re immediately absorbed by the energetic atmosphere, which makes for an enjoyable dining experience. Great place for a mix of enjoyable food and entertainment! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I have been coming to Genghis Cohen for years, and it has always been a reliable go-to spot for casual dining. The service is consistently good, and the food is always satisfying. We especially enjoy their egg rolls and kung pao chicken. While the food flavor is comforting, it doesn’t land as authentic Chinese cuisine. Nevertheless, the portions remain generous and it suits our needs as a casual dining experience. I would recommend for a family night out! " (*Curated Review*)
