Little Ongpin

This longtime turo-turo joint with locations in East Hollywood and Eagle Rock serves a lunchtime feast of Chinese-inflected items like miki bihon (which uses thick wheat noodles), siopao (steamed meat buns) and the Filipino version of shumai. Other Little Ongpin staples include the lumpia shanghai and maki, a Chinese Filipino soy-based pork noodle dish whose thickness calls to mind Chinese American hot and sour soup. Be sure to check the screens up above when you’re ordering for specials—there’s always something interesting on the menu. Most people love the pancit and lumpia here, so if you’re at a loss for what to get, start with that.
