Description: A midnight-style tribute to old Los Angeles Chinatown, inspired by the humble deli counters, neon restaurant signs, Cantonese comfort food, and after-dark street energy of the 1970s.

Description: At first glance, the traditional Chinese pagoda facade didn't speak much to revelry, but once inside, namely in the downstairs bar, it was a totally different story. At Hop Louie, the Chinese lanterns and a lacquered bar top gave way to the old school charm of the oldies-playing jukebox, low lights, and cheap, stiff drinks. You knew that you were without question in a great dive bar, but this one just happened to serve some of the best Chinese food in Los Angeles. The restaurant opened as Golden Pagoda (the name changed in 1985) a couple of years after “New Chinatown” was built in 1938.
