Chinese Restaurants near Harbor City

“Fine Wok is one of Torrance’s best hidden gems for Chinese food. It’s a family-owned business, and the pride they take in both their food and service really shines through. The wife who runs the front is always so kind, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home every time.

The portions are very generous for the price, and the quality is always consistent. One thing I really appreciate — it doesn’t matter if you call in your order or place it in person, they never skimp on the portions. And when you order a dish with protein, it’s always well-balanced — no stingy servings here. You truly get your money’s worth, every time.

Everything is flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or dining in, Fine Wok always delivers. Support local, support family-run — this spot deserves all the love!“

“I do like orange chicken... It's a staple that rarely is bad.... Orange chicken and Kung Pao chicken was crispy and delicious.... The half and half Rice and noodles was good but probably what setting for a few......
And the price keeps going up....“

“Best little place in town!!! So sad to see them closing, so happy I got one last fantastic meal!!!“

“I love their Porridge with pork and century egg/duck“

“Back in February, my significant other and I visited California, and one of the absolute highlights of our trip was the incredible Chinese food we had. From the very first bite, we knew we were in for something special. The flavors were bold, authentic, and perfectly balanced — you could taste the care and tradition in every dish.

The noodles had that perfect chewy texture, and the sauces were rich without being overpowering. We still talk about the crispy fried chicken wings OMG!!!! — perfectly seasoned with skin so crisp it crackled — and the way the stir-fried vegetables kept their fresh crunch while soaking up all the flavor.

The staff was warm, the service was quick, and the atmosphere had that perfect mix of comfort and culture. It wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience that stuck with us. We’ve had Chinese food plenty of times, but this spot raised the bar.

If we ever go back to California, we’re making a beeline straight back there. 10/10 — truly unforgettable!“

“I definitely recommend the chocolate xiao long bao“

“This place is clean, welcoming, and the price is reasonable especially the half and half combos . Service was outstanding—both the owner and waiter were very friendly and attentive.

The jjajangmyun was especially good, and the half and half combo had generous portions. Loved how they sealed the sauce for takeout—no spills! Great spot for dine-in or takeout.“

“Ordered food as they were closing they were very friendly and even helped us pick combos that would be more variety and just enough for two rather than ordering one dish a la cart . They were very very kind and the food was hot and delicious. I loved the vegetables and thought everything was very good. The customer service is so great they treat you like family.

Vegetarian options: The vegetables are crisp and fresh and served in light sauce very yummy so are egg rolls no meat in the egg rolls delicious“

“Great hidden gem... Mostly regulars here, so I'm glad a friend brought me! everything was delicious, very typical chinese restaurant so familiar flavors... Portion size is amazing. Great value for family style eating. If u don't take leftovers home, ur a better eater than I...

Vegetarian options: They are willing to sub tofu or to make dishes without meat.“

“Had a wonderful experience last night with my family to celebrate my 60 year wedding anniversary. Food and service were the best! I always enjoy dining here because everything is delicious and they always make you feel welcome.“

“just ordered food from China Gourmet in Signal Hill, Ca.. upon entering the restaurant a young man greeted me with a hello. He was pleasent and welcoming. He took my order of mushroom chicken, mixed vegetables and rice with a two order combo. I had BBQ pork, half and half and jalapeño chicken, with two drinks. Returned home and started to dive in! WOW IT WAS AMAZING! The pork was cooked just right, the chicken was extremely delicious and chow mein was actual chow mein and not Top Ramen noodles substitute. my friend who ordered the mushroom chicken and vegetables couldn't stop eating. I've been to numerous fast Chinese food places and none of them have been as good as this place with the quality of food and the amount given. the price was moderate in today's society of price gouging it was $27 and well worth it. if you enjoy Chinese food and really want to get a bang for your buck as well as and enjoyment of flavors in your mouth go to China Gourmet!“

“Good food at reasonable prices.great for lunch or take out. Casual dining.“

“nice place, food was delicious and good service“

“We were in from out of town celebrating my wife’s birthday and Billy was our server.

Billy was fantastic, the drinks were never empty the food order was correct and Billy was a delight every time we spoke

He made our night! Thank you Billy!!!!!“

“This location is always busy. However, they can always manage regardless of situation. Quelly, the counter person is very accommodating, she even suggested the right order for the family. They always wear a smile. The whole crew were happy during our stay in the dining. They also gave us coupon for the next visit. Thank you, Chowking!“

“Good food, Neighborhood spot, you'll always get service with a smile, care and conversation. Fried rice is flavorful as is the chow mein. My favorite is spicy teriyaki and mushroom chicken, kung Pao chicken all made by the husband, and son chef in the kitchen, and yes you can see them cooking the food. 😋“

“If you like quality Chinese cuisine, go to Little Asia ASAP! My party of three loved the food! We had egg rolls, sesame chicken, lemon chicken, and string beans with beef. We shared those dishes and had to force ourselves to stop eating once we were full! I highly recommend this great restaurant!“

“This was our first visit here and we really enjoyed the food. To start we had the crispy crab/cream cheese wontons. They were creamy and full of chunks of crab meat. For dinner we shared the Sweet & Sour pork, Mongolian Beef and the Veggie Low Mein. It was all super tasty! The low mein had tons of freshly sautéed carrots, brocolli, zuchini, cabbage and snow peas in a great sauce. The Mongolian beef was super thin and tender sautéed with green onion in a rich sauce. The sweet and sour pork was very traditional but you could see and taste the quality... no skimpy cuts of pork or over breading! I was wonderful! The manager (or owner, not sure) was offering a free garlic noodle dish to any table with a check over $50... we had never tried garlic noodles before but they were so simple but so rich with a buttery garlic sauce that they paired perfectly with the rich sauces of the other dishes. Service and atmosphere was wonderful. We will be back to try more! *Bonus they had a large TV (no sound but with subtitles) playing the World Series!

Vegetarian options: The table next to us was a large all vegetarian group. They had tons of options on thier table which they all seemed to enjoy.

Parking: Parking available behind the restaurant with a direct back entrance.“

“Pleasantly surprised with this little gem. 11 bucks for 3 meat option and everything was enjoyable. The BBQ chicken was the stand out with the teriyaki chicken a close second.

Next time I’m down there this will be my go to lunch.“

“love their shrimp fried rice“

“The Best Buffet in the area! ? Rotation is on time so everything is Hot! Waiters are very kind and go beyond their duty to take care of you & your family. I advice to please bring cash for their Tip ?

Kid-friendliness: They have lots of Pizza ? & dessert ? for kids“

“This is by far the best of the combo chinese food restaurants' orange chicken. And i really like the flavor of their chow mein, it's more garlicky than other places which are more bland. But i usually go out of my way to go here if i get the chance.“

“Incredibly fresh, not greasy, lovely wood detailing in the dining room. Had the chefs filet which was tender and amazingly black pepper with onion. Also the black bean shrimp was fantastic with bell pepper and chili.

Parking: Small parking lot, plenty of parking at 730pm Sunday“

“Vanessa N. was so sweet greated us with a smile and a wonderful personality.. She was so calm and professional easy to talk to. My wife and I enjoyed Vanessa recommendation. Definitely will be coming back again. We enjoy the food. Great portions, very clean kitchen and bathroom Music and Air-condition set perfect. Not to loud actually carry a conversation at your table and still able to hear your spouse or friends. Vanessa really added a special part to this great restaurant. Prices are very reasonable $ Ask for Vanessa N if you want amazing service. Thank you for making are first visit amazing.“

“Best steam table Chinese I've ever had. The only lady behind the counter was efficient with the line that was in there.

Bbq pork was tender and delicious, grab some hot mustard. The orange chicken is something we don't usually order but was great here, still crunchy. Egg foo young was made fresh to order and surprisingly wonderful, airy and the best use of water chestnuts I've seen. The lady even chopped it up for us with a huge cleaver so it was easier to eat. The fried rice has chunks of bbq pork and egg and the chow mein had chicken and egg. They have both Sriracha and chili oil. It was enough food for two plus leftovers

It's been open for forty years and is inside a cute, kitchy building. Parking lot is tiny and one way, enter from KFC around the corner“

“One of the best Jajangmyeon I've ever had!Jajangmyeon is a Korean-Chinese dish of thick noodles covered in a rich, fermented black bean sauce and served with vegetables and pork. The savory, salty, and slightly sweet dish is a cultural icon in Korea, often associated with childhood memories and special occasions. The noodles are made fresh which makes it extra special. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic sauce is a perfect accompaniment with it's tangy crunchy chewy spicy taste! This is the type of place that
will be your go to for Korean Chinese dishes! Nothing fancy on inside but super clean and super friendly staff!“

“The food was delicious. I misremembered the name of one of the dishes I wanted & the lady made a couple of suggestions until I found the right one. Rice was included, though I forgot to specify that I wanted it. A while back, they didn't include unless you asked.“

“Great place to stop in for good food. The ladies behind the counter are super nice and friendly. I always get orange chicken and theirs did not disappoint. I’m not a big chow mein fan, but I ate all of it with my 1 item combo. Almost all of the other customers ordered the wings, they looked delicious, but was more that I could eat.“

“I made it there a little after the lunch special. However the full items do not disappoint at all. We were able to get a meal on Christmas Eve to feed the family. Thank you for being open late. All of our food items were very hot fresh and tasty. Yes we highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back in town to return.“

“I normally would get egg Fu young for my mom. Lately they're over cooking and it's hard dry and barely any sauce is put on the fu young. They're rude whenever you call in to complain. To me they're dropping off on the quality of their food cooking since it's more Hispanic cooking your ordered. I'm going back to 103 rd where the food is much better. Instead of telling me to come back and correct my order they were so rude. I'll miss the meat egg rolls but food wise nope! They're about the same. Nothing changes except the quality in the food. I found a better spot down at 103rd St. Food is great“

“Pleasant experience . Surprisingly and important for me who does not drive, they do deliver! Prompt and still warm. We ordered house special lo mein and house special chop suey both very tasty. It seems it is under new ownership. Their menu is different.“

“I really like this restaurant… I ordered pork egg foo young and it is NOT egg patties with gravy. When I called and was asked if I ordered it before and its made differently from other restaurants. It would be nice to have this as the description so customers are aware before ordering and getting home you something less desirable!!! I do appreciate the opportunity to return my item, so i had to edit my original post.“

“Haven't tried it yet, but I've seen great reviews online and will definitely go when I get a chance.“

“Went in for pick up on a Friday night. Was busy, was able to order at the counter and wait 15 mins for order to be ready. I ordered the garlic broccoli, shrimp steamed wontons and cold noodles. The portion sizes were great and all 3 were under $40.
The broccoli had so much garlic it was almost overwhelming. If you are so so on healing stay away from this as it will kick that flu season in the guts! The cold noodles were okay, just wanted more sauce options and other veges in them. Wontons were tasty and good portion size. It was a good go to. With so much choice in Gardena this is up there.“

“Me and the the fam do laundry across the street so naturally the wife want her Starbucks. Always passed by this place and it just caught my eye. Don’t know why. I took a menu from the spot and kept it in the glove compartment for some time. One day I was coming down from some acid and was hungry like a mofo. Oh before I say anything more I must mention that when I saw the menu I saw they had shrimp fried rice and that is all it took to seal the deal. However, I am VERY SKETCH on my shrimp fried rice. I only get it from one spot and it’s been like that for around 13 years. Anywho. Coming down from that and I said “screw it! Let’s try it” got the shrimp fried rice and the lunch special of orange chicken. The sfr was dank! Wont compare it to the other but honestly I was impressed. My wife said the orange chicken was ok and that the chicken was hard. I tried it I loved the sauce and the fried rice…well I had just tried it so no difference. I told her that I kinda saw that coming from the chicken bc of the big menu that they have so that is the only negative but I will definitely mess with this place again! Oh the service was quick and straight to the point. The way it should be.“

“This place is the best!! Both Mexican and Chinese menus are so good!! I got the hibiscus steak burrito, orange nuggets, and habanero wings. The wings were the highlight, i haven't had anything this good outside of Thailand. I love the sugarcane 'bones 'in the wings, and their sauces are top notch. Aguafresca is also on point, don't skip it! They have matcha horchata, too. They have almond cookies that are not vegan but still very good. The vegan carrot cake was INCREDIBLE, I have not encountered carrot cake this flavorful anywhere. The staff were so sweet, and clearly really care about their customers. < 3 I got an order of chilequiles for breakfast tomorrow, super happy to encounter really nice vegan breakfast! I wish they had a cookbook so I could recreate this in Seattle“

“First timer. Recently moved to the area and was looking for a nice Chinese food spot. Decided to try and they did not disappoint. The female worker was so accommodating. It was 30 min before closing and they cooked up our food fresh. The orange chicken was on point. Besides the food we also tried the Matcha Green Tea and Thai tea Boba so delish. Will be returning soon. Definitely recommend.“

“This place has been around for so many years, which is usually a sign of a great restaurant, especially in this economy! Anyway, we've been coming here for years, longer than we've even lived in Torrance, everyone loves the food whenever we get it. They have the best Szechuan eggplant I've probably ever had, as well as great soups, eggrolls, and the different chicken dishes we've tried are always just as good! Szechuan chicken, Kung pao chicken, and they have a very unique teriyaki chicken, which is actually really good also!“

“My Hubby and I Love this Place, They serve you So much- I usually eat from it 3/4 Meals my Favorite is White Steamed Rice W Dbl Orange Chicken, My Hubby Loves the Teriyaki Chicken and BBQ Pork with Sause ,It's Simply Delicious ?

Parking: We always pull up in the Front parking lot, Plenty of Stalls“

“Great food great service the man who made my food who I assume was the owner was so nice I've been looking for my favorite dish which is Singapore Mei Fun and I've called every Chinese restaurant in Carson and everyone tells me they don’t make it or they have some fat noodle that they call rice noodles, but this man knew exactly what I wanted and made the best dish that I’ve ever had in my life. This is my new place. I love this place and I love the food and the great service and the great prices. also, it was the first Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to with a Christmas tree, which was cool Thank you and God bless.“

“Food - pretty good but not great
Service - nice people but minimal service
Ambiance - clean and comfortable

I have been to many Northern Cafes and have been looking forward to this one. I noticed most of the reviews were about dumplings and realized this one is more specialized for dumplings (boiled, pan-fried and steamed XLB varieties.

I was hoping for the noodle specialties like the one in Gardena (which is my favorite in the region, 10 min more drive for me).

We ordered:
- crab dumplings- steamed, XLB style, it was pretty good
- lamb dumplings- pan fried, it was ok, a little oily
- beef noodle soup- it was ok, they only served with thin noodles, we preferred other handmade varieties at the Gardena store

We also ordered the beef rolls to go, it looked exact like the ones shown on the poster, ha ha.

Overall, pretty good if you are hungry dumplings!“

“불맛 짬뽕 맛집~~“

“Best in the South Bay! 👍🏽👍🏽“

“I've been coming here for a few years and the food is always great and the service is always wonderful. They're so helpful and welcoming. It's just a straight up, old school, Chinese restaurant serving up the classics. Portion sizes are pretty big and always tasty. I have not had a bad experience here yet. Nothing bad to say about this place at all.“

“My wife and I ate here on a whim, and it did not disappoint. We were on a time crunch so we decided to takeout. The three cup chicken and short rib dan mein were big hits in our house. Dumplings were also excellent. We look forward to dining at the restaurant again! Keep up the good work!

Parking: Parking is more than sufficient as it is shared with the shopping plaza.“

“This is a fun dim sum restaurant where your family can go and choose different types of dim sum and fried bread from a cart when you're craving dim sum on the weekend.

Vegetarian options: Stir-fried Bok Choy

Parking: There is a parking lot at the shopping mall, so you don’t have to worry about parking.“

“This is a small family owned restaurant. The Mongolian is great - they give you the option of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce and cook it to order. You pay by the pound so be mindful as you stack your bowl, however, the price is very reasonable. I usually get multiple meals out of 1 order. The grill is well maintained and always clean.“

“Chinese takeout spot with a VERY toned down Szechuan spice. Came here for late night food and the lady was so nice!!! Dishes I recommend are string beans,Kung Pao chicken, and string beans. Im Chinese and thought the spicy szechuan chicken wasnt spicy at all, more like takeout style than actual szechuan. All the dishes need more garlic, onion, szechuan peppers, and chilli peppers to qualify as authentic szechuan food. Chilli oil on the condiments was too pickley. No this is not authentic szechuan food where everything is stir fried in mountains of spices. This is more like above average Chinese takeout with a twist and the service is excellent. Very good prices.“

“Food is amazing. Only four stars because I feel it's too expensive.“
