A Fairfax District original, Genghis Cohen has been serving NYC-style Chinese food to Angelenos and out-of-towners alike since ’83. Founded by music producer Allan Rinde, this was his ode to a cuisine…

12/10 would order again. 1.00 surcharge for gluten free is absolutely amazing and the food quality was excellent despite lacking gluten. You can change almost EVERYTHING to gluten free which I haven't had authentic Chinese cuisine in 10+ years. The portion came in a small bag so I was worried it wouldn't be much, but each entree was about 1 pound each. The black pepper beef was insanely juicy and it leaked through the double paper bag. The packaging could be better, but it was piping hot

I always order the steamed sole filet w/ fresh ginger. It's light and delicious! I ordered the lunch special and selected ginger chicken salad with there was an extra change. It came with extra dressing which is good but I wish I could have ordered dressing on the side because the salad was soggy on arrival. The dressing was a tad sweet for me since I don't like things with sugar. However it was balanced well with the ginger. Vegetable spring roll and sweet and sour soup were yummy! It was a value too. Most restaurants add a substantial fee because of Door Dash charges them. Thank you for not doing this Genghis Cohen. Much appreciated! I tend to not order from restaurants that up charge a lot. No wonder this restaurant has been around forever, it's great!

The noodles were bland and overcooked. The beef and beef & broccoli was so chewy and again, bland. The Pork Dumplings were apparently scorching when they were put into the container because they melted together. The Crab Rangoon were five tiny twists the size of a tootsie roll. The NY style eggrolls were okay. Overall super disappointing and overpriced for one of the worst Chinese food dinners ive ever had.
