25 Best Asian Restaurants near Lawndale

“SO GOOD!!! I’m eating it as we speak but I couldn’t wait to give them a review! Delicious! Feels and looks fresh and healthy! Great flavors! Good amounts for reasonable prices! I’m so so happy I discovered this! Loved the ginger lime sauce!“

“I loved my dining experience there! The decor is warm and special; the service, impeccable, and the food is beautifully presented and delicious. I recommend the lobster spring rolls, the calamari and shrimp salad, and the duck fried rice. If you really like lemongrass, then try the seared scallops!“

“The food is really good and cheap, plus its a really good portion of it. The atmosphere is pretty welcoming and feels good to be there. The most remarkable thing its the service, it is a really nice and good service in every way, best service I've had so far and will definitely go back.“

“Amazing vegan menu. 💕 definitely worth a visit. Will stop in next time we are in town.“

“Very good customer service and vibes I love the decorations and how clean it is. The ramen and potstickers were very filling and definitely worth trying. I keep coming back for the spicy tonkatsu ramen but the sushi was not very good especially for the price...

Another complaint I have is the chopsticks feel very cheap and hard to work with plus $2.50 for a can of coke isn't really something to look forward to with your meal

P.S. I'll definitely be back but I felt the need to give an honest review“

“I recently ordered catering from Lokal Venice and it was such a great experience. The place itself is super cute, the interior is really well put together and just beautiful to look at.

This was my first time ordering catering from them, and it was a total success. Everything was delivered right on time, and the presentation was amazing. I ordered burritos and asked them to cut them in half, which made everything look extra neat and organized, perfect for a group setting.

I had quite a few dietary restrictions to accommodate since this was for a Teacher Appreciation Day at a school (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, egg allergies, dairy-free) and they handled everything so well. The communication was easy, they responded quickly to emails, and made the whole process stress-free.

On top of all that, they even let me take their insulated bags to make it easier to transport everything, they just asked me to return them later. I thought that was such a thoughtful and helpful touch.

I 1000% recommend them, and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again for my next catering!“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“We love Yanagi. Fabulous and fresh sushi, great service and there always seems to be a table for us. My tiny humans, age 10 and 7, love their sushi. At Yanagi, they are always well taken care of.“

“Been for years ..! Love it“

“Server explained food options then proceeded to ring me out at register and mistakened my $50.00 bill for a $20.00 bill. I had to wait longer for her to correct the register . I hand over to her a $20.00 bill to finish my order and correct changes. She admitted she had mistakenly rung the transaction of funds incorrectly. She thought gave her a $20.00 bill and had to correct the register.“

“I’ve been going to 3 brothers since high school and that’s almost 17yrs ago. I’ve since moved out of state back in 2020 but every time I get back to Cali I always have to stop by. Their sweet and sour chicken dinner is always my go to and never disappoints. It’s also nice that the owner still remembers me.“

“Food was so yummy! Had the chicken pho and edamame.“

“I’ve lived in Mar Vista for years and somehow never knew about this place. Let me tell you… the fish is SO fresh, the rolls are delicious, but the spicy garlic edamame is on a whole different level of amazing!!!! Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Definitely found my new favorite restaurant.“

“This place is serious. Got the Pad see ew (they call it pad Z ew lol), tom kha with chicken, vegetable egg rolls, and mango sticky rice. Everything was excellent. Not good, excellent. Definitely if this is within 30 - 45 minutes of you, go out of your way to try it. Service great, very friendly and courteous. Prices are excellent too. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The food was delish!

The gal who took our orders was friendly and helpful with providing some details about their menu. It wasn't fast food and tasted freshly made. The four of us who went said we'd all go again.“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“Honestly expensive but I think it's a sharable portion size. I got Thai tea and a regular size poki bowl spent $20 but I couldn't even finish my bowl it's so much food. It all tasted delicious to me . Customer service is clearly not a top priority but you get your food quick .“

“Love this place, used to be in Long Beac closer to me but willing to drive to Carson for the food. I know it's more of a chicken and rice place, but for me it's their burgers that are the best. Made to order goodness one of my favorite burgers. The chicken teriyaki is good too. The Chinese chicken salad is also very good. Can't speak to other menu items cause I always order the same thing. Service is great, I like the order and pay, pick your own seat, no tip needed.“

“Vegan review:

The food quality is really great. Tastes fresh and crunchy and its really good. I got the vegetable roll and it was good. Only reason for 4 stars is price. For what it is and where it is and how much was in the roll, especially it being only vegetables, it was quite expensive. I mean not too much but for the price a larger quality would be better.“

“Tasty Chicken - Fried And Original Style . Rice 🍚 Deliciousness . Sauces On Point . Great Service“

“I've eaten at a lot of Vietnamese restaurants around the area, and this spot is definitely worth checking out—especially now that it's under new management. The food tastes like the real deal. Everything came out fresh, full of flavor, and made to order. You can tell they care about quality and aren't cutting corners.

The restaurant is spotless, the service is welcoming, and the whole place has a great vibe. It's refreshing to find a neighborhood spot serving authentic Vietnamese food that's consistently fresh and delicious.

If you're a fan of Vietnamese cuisine or just looking to try something new, do yourself a favor and stop by. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.“

“My family come from NewYork and we order pho combo and bun bo hue. It is 10/10. The owner dropped by to greet us and also ask how is the food. My sister was not feeling well so I ask the owner to buy a slice of ginger. He came back with the whole ginger and gave to me with no charge. I am so grateful. Thank you very much.“

“Portion of food are more than the price value! The quality of ingredients was above the expectation taste very authentic Thai cuisine! You can't get wrong with restaurant. There was just 3 of us but we can't finish the whole servings. Tom Kha was our favorite second to that will be Pad Thai. It was a great meal!“
