No, but I will. The closest I’ve found on the Westside is Hu’s. It’s technically Szechuan.
10450 National Blvd., L.A., 90034
I think that’s your problem.

New Woey Loy Goey is solid inexpensive Cantonese. I think it’s probably a good choice for Chinese-American takeout.
General Tso’s chicken isn’t old-school, especially on the West Coast.
It’s New York Americaized Chinese food. Maybe my nomenclature isn’t right, but people usually know what you mean when you say “old-school Chinese,” don’t they?

Pico and Veteran in West L.A.?
Fu’s Palace - Pico and Robertson.
The hubster and I used to live within walking distance of that. Nights we didn’t want to cook, we’d get an order of shrimp with lobster sauce split it, and were happy folks indeed.
I miss that place!
Love Hu’s as well.
But also so happy to now be able to drive easily to King Hua or Lunasia for dim sum. We’re not suffering, lol.
Thanks @Happybaker! I will check it out, I’m in that area fairly often.
Wow, the menu has paper-wrapped chicken and cream cheese wontons and egg foo young. And lemon chicken, which I haven’t seen in ages.

A post was split to a new topic: Visiting SF from LA and Need Cantonese - Sam Wo? [moved from the SF board]
You might repost that on the LA board. This is not somewhere people would look for reports on LA restaurants.

I don’t know how to do that.
Re-edit the post (click the pencil icon), copy everything, paste it in a new post on the LA board.
Oh, okay. I thought you meant actually move the post. It looks like @ipsedixit took care of it (thank you!).
I’m still getting the hang of what goes where, be patient with me, please. 
Btw, I ended up going to Eric’s Restaurant in the Mission for Chinese food to take back to L.A. with me. I lost my iPad, so I don’t have any photos, but the food was excellent! Even after a plane ride.
The food at Hu’s and Fu’s in Los Angeles costs more, but is not nearly as good.

Eric’s is in Noe Valley. The menu reads mostly generic Chinese-American, but to appeal to the upscale neighborhood they use better ingredients and the cooking is lighter than in a typical old-school place.
We moved away from NV/SF in '92. Went to Eric’s once and wasn’t tempted to go back. Too much non-Chinese-American food even if not as convenient. IMO of course.
In this case, the request was specifically for old-school Chinese-American, so it’s a good match.
I lived a few blocks up Church 20 years ago. If I was craving Chinese food, I’d walk down the hill to Yuet Lee (now Wild Pepper), but Eric’s was good for a light meal of seafood and good vegetables without leaving the neighborhood.
@robert This is Eric’s in the mission, near my brother’s house on 24th. I definitely posted the wrong link. But good to know they’re both good.
Same place, same web site. Eric’s is on Church at 27th in Noe Valley. The Mission is just down the hill.

We’ve gotten take-out from Sam Hing a few times lately, and have been very pleasantly surprised. The chicken broccoli dish was good, as was the chicken chow fun with onions, with extra fried tofu. Order from the menu though and have them cook the food fresh for you – don’t go in and have them just serve you from the items sitting under the heat lamps.
