Los Angeles, CA
Harry currently ranks 10 chinese spots in Los Angeles, scoring 79–87 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
The question is not whether it is authentic — it is whether the kitchen has a point of view. Harry does not want fusion. He wants to know if the cook is from Sichuan or Guangdong, and if the heat, the oil temperature, and the seasoning are doing something specific. Regional specificity is the only interesting thing.
Ranked by the Harry Score — a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
