If you are looking for a decent Chinese food near Torrance or Redondo Beach, Sea Empress is definitely a good one to try. Dim Sum is not available after 2.30pm though.

This is the best dim sum in Gardena. They have the carts on the weekends and a lot of room. Their main dining hall is old fashion, clean, and roomy.

We were on the way to Los Angeles and looking for a breakfast place. I found Sea Empress Seafood Restaurant perfectly on our way. We decided to have our dim sum fix there.We waited at the parking lot for a few minutes and got our table as soon as they opened. The restaurant looks a little dated. But who cares! We want to have our dim sum breakfast.The dim sum is pretty good. They're hot and fresh. We got what we wanted and were back on the road in less than 45 minutes.Parking: I parked my car near the restaurantWheelchair accessibility: No problem with a wheelchair. ADA parking is available.

Pretty sad Chinese food for LA. We were visiting and staying close by - so decided to give this restaurant a try instead of driving 45 minutes to the San Gabriel Valley area. A mistake - should have driven the extra distance.Dim sum was some of the worst that I have had in my entire life - especially the har gow and sui mai - they were tasteless and the dough was mushy. Even frozen ones these days are superior.Don't waste your money on Peking duck - it was the worst . They left the meat on the bones and the pancakes were essentially like Mexican flour tortillas - what a disappointment.Service was equally lacking - had to ask for everything like large plates to eat our lunch entrees and rice. Really no rice served with entrees. We had to wait 5 minutes for the plates and rice while our food got cold.
