Koreatown · Westwood · Los Angeles

Taiwanese comfort food and Hong Kong-inspired pastries — made with craft, and the memory of the counters and night markets we grew up loving.

Dining at Liu's is nostalgic yet familiar — the vintage charm of mid-century American diners, layered with traditional Chinese décor and the quiet honesty of modern minimalism.

Our story

A nod to the places that shaped us

Liu's Cafe is a nod to our experiences eating at comfy Chinese mom-and-pop restaurants, affordable street stalls, and crowded night markets across Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Shanghai.

"Chinese cuisine has a beautifully rich and diverse history spanning thousands of years — and it deserves to be celebrated, not simplified."

From our homemade blend of Hong Kong-style milk tea to our braised pork belly over rice, each dish is made with care to capture those culinary traditions — with a little of ourselves in every one.

Liu's Cafe is the second concept from Long Hospitality, the team behind Danbi in Koreatown, LA.
