Chinatown's slippery shrimp institution since 1977 — LA's most iconic Chinese-American dish
Yang Chow opened in 1977 and invented the slippery shrimp — crispy, tangy, glazed in a peppery orange sauce that has become one of the canonical dishes of Los Angeles Chinese-American cooking. Every table orders it; every table finishes it. The Chinatown institution has stayed exactly as it is through four decades of restaurant trends because it doesn't need to change. The garlic string beans and pan-fried noodles are essential supporting acts; the slippery shrimp is the reason to come.
