I visited Nomad Chinese with my family during a trip to LA, looking for halal Chinese food. After a 30-40 minute wait on Christmas Day, we finally got a table. The service was slow—our waiter arrived after 10-12 minutes, and the food came in 3-4 installments after another long delay.
We specifically asked if they could make a couple of dishes gluten-free. The waiter confidently said “yes, no issues.” However, when the food arrived, we discovered that not all items were gluten-free—confirmed later by the kitchen supervisor. This miscommunication was frustrating, especially since their website claims to cater to dietary needs.
The food was fully halal and above average, but the poor service, lack of attention to food allergies, and inaccurate website information left us disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re desperate for halal Chinese food with no other options. It’s overhyped and not worth the wait.
