    Surprisingly authentic and tasty for this area! I didn't have high expectations, but Fifty One far exceeded it. Out of everything we ordered, I highly recommend the Cantonese BBQ Platter & Stir Fry String Beans. The portions are generous and can easily feed 3-4. We also ordered the Hong Kong Ribs & Chicken Lettuce Wrap, but it was mediocre; I would not recommend these two dishes. The ambiance is pretty cool for a nice casual dinner. Service is good, but nothing to rave about. Expect to pay $30-35 per person and have leftover to take home. I would be returning!

    Delicious food. Highly recommend the multi-day seasoned duck. The pork dishes and fried rice are also very tasty. Great portion sizes. Friendly and proactive staff. Great outdoor seating, and indoor mask/vaccination protocol. Highly recommend the chili oil and other spice paste. Plenty of metered parking around the restaurant; there is also a parking garage near the Trader Joe’s. Food was so good, I forgot to take a snap before digging in! Haha. Enjoy!

    They have half of dim sum on Sundays. We had a reservation for 12:30pm (made online in advance) but walk-ins are accepted. We got the chicken pot stickers and egg rolls (fried items come out first) in addition to char siu steamed buns, red bean buns, squid ink custard buns, xiao long bao, and fried shrimp balls. The char siu and red bean buns could’ve used more filling. Note that the squid ink only refers to the black dyed buns, and the filling is just custard. They do have BBQ plates available if you don’t want just dim sum. Service is slow so put in your order all at once. Credit cards are accepted. Metered street parking or garage parking.

    We tried the Dine LA menu and it was delicious. The tofu was our favorite. The waitor was nice and attentive. We enjoyed the lunch, will go back again 👍🏻

    We had a great experience at Fifty One Kitchen. We were especially excited that there was an entire, separate vegetan menu, as well as a "set vegan" menu option. It's a beautiful, cavernous space with lots of outdoor seating too. My wife and I decided on the Vegan Set Menu which was a ton of food...we probably would have been served better ordering one of each item a-la-carte rather than the abundance of food that we couldn't possible finish, so before you go all in on the set menu, check the a-la-carte offerings. (Though, to be fair, we brought a lot of food home so it's days of meals to come!) We selected Crispy Tofu which was perfectly coated almost silken tofu on the outside...really nicely flavored and a delight to eat. Our 2 entrees were Mapo tofu (among the best "mapo" dishes we had and it had a great presentation) and Black Pepper Veggie "Steak" (this tasted good and had an actually spectacular presentation, though I was hoping for a soy based "faux-meat" dish and this was soy paper wrapped around mushrooms and other items...so the flavor was great but not the texture I was looking for in something labeled "steak.) We also had Stir Fry String Beans which were cooked perfectly and also nicely spiced. There's a lot more to try on the vegan menu and we'd definitely come back to sample more. Oooh and we really loved the Sayuri Nogir Sake as well...creamy, sweet and a delight to drink!

    So I ordered food from the vegan menu, the rice and the cucumber salad. Delicious.. but then I decided I wanted to try the lobster dumplings. Oh my there’re so good you must come here and have a lobster dumpling. And message for the Manager give your employees the menu items so they know how to describe them and share their personal likes !!!

    Pretty much anything fried was great. The fried pot stickers and egg rolls were perfect. The crispy orange shrimp and the fried string beans were very good as well. And I liked the sesame mochi balls for desert. I didn’t love the Alaskan cod and Hong Kong ribs were fine but the sauce was a bit salty for my taste. The staff was very friendly and the general atmosphere was pleasant. I would come back again and try more of the dishes.
