A place worth try. I liked the service here. Food was spicy but all good. Pretty authentic.

Quite delightfully surprised! When my white friends invited me to a trendy Chinese food spot at the Row, I had to be a bit skeptical, but to my surprise the flavors are legit! These are traditional sichuan dishes with real sichuan taste (albeit not as strong.) The decor is so cute modern trendy Chinese, and atmosphere is so chill and relaxed. If only they have an alcohol license it'll be perfect!

Sometimes you just have a meal that was so good it leaves you speechless. This was one of those meals. It was incredible. The service, the vibe, the flavors, everything. If you ever find yourself in the downtown LA area I highly recommend a meal at Kar Son. I had the cucumber salad, Dan Dan noodles and the soup dumplings. 12/10

June 2026: This was my second visit to Kar Son. The food is good, but unfortunately the service has been consistently lacking. After we ordered, all of our dishes came out quickly except for one. About halfway through the meal, we asked our server about it and he told us it would be out in “about 2 minutes.” Nothing came. As we were finishing up, we asked another staff member, who said she’d let the server know. More time passed, so we asked yet another staff member and got the same response. At that point, we told our server we were basically done eating. He again said he’d check on the dish, then returned and said it would be out in 2 minutes and asked if we wanted it packed to-go instead. We hesitated, but agreed. About 7 minutes later, he brought the dish out on a plate and told us to “eat some now and take the rest to go,” which was confusing since he had just suggested packing it up. One of us awkwardly tried a bite before he came back to box it up. What made the whole experience especially frustrating was the complete lack of communication or apology throughout the entire situation. When the bill came, the dish had been comped, but again, nobody acknowledged what happene

This restaurant has a very nice and comfortable atmosphere that really makes you enjoy the whole dining experience. The food is excellent — they offer authentic Chinese dishes, as well as some creative fusion options that balance well with Western flavors. Everything we tried was delicious and well prepared. Definitely a great new spot and highly recommended. I’ll be coming back for sure.
