50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lawndale

“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.“

“So today was our second visit to this small business. Seeing past reviews it can be a hit or miss for some people, especially for long time customers.

So far it’s been a hit for me honestly, the portion given in the Combo B is pretty massive for an individual and it will make you full for sure. And the price is well worth it ($9.49) in my opinion especially with this current economy. Unfortunately they don’t have a lot of entrées to decide from, but the orange chicken and beef broccoli was really good!

Also the female employee who handles the register and serving is fantastic, greets you with a smile as you walk in 👌“

“I came in to buy some early lunch for my parents who have dementia. Naiyeli was very friendly and welcoming. When I wasn’t sure what to choose, she made helpful suggestions. The food was good and my parents enjoyed it. Thank you Naiyeli for being so nice and helpful!“

“Our family's favorite restaurant. Dad fed all of our missionarys there with families and friends. It is OPEN“

“I definitely recommend the chocolate xiao long bao“

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

“Redefining possibilities with Chinese American food to be more healthful while being delicious. The price point is amazing for being in Santa Monica with generous portions. When the menu says spicy, it’s spicy representative of Chef Bryant’s work at Cassia.“

“nice place, food was delicious and good service“

“Had a great meal! Forwent ordering potstickers in order to try the enticingly named Gang of 4 ×4 - a delicious decision! The Mao's Hometown was just-right spicy, and I'm sure they put more than $2 extra shrimp on my order. Service friendly and prompt, loved the art. I felt as though I had wandered back into college in the early '70s.“

“YUUUUM. This was our first time here (didn't know it was a chain) & it was delicious! We were seated right away and our server was super nice. She brought us our drinks and a side a shredded ginger. She recommended we eat it with our meal, by itself, or use it in our water! I appreciated her recs and choose to nibble on some and put the rest in my water.

We got the orange chicken and the stir fried green beans. We also tried the beef pancake. All items were generously portions and delicious. We would for sure return again!“

“Came in for lunch and we were the 1st customers. We sat down and viewed the menu. Waitress did not bring us tea and after 5 minutes I had to call her over to take our order. It was definitely different than my experience with my mom. The food was good, but not as good as my previous visit.“

“Wow this place was so good! This was my first time here was recommended by a coworker! Wow my taste buds were so happy I ate here. Flavor in every bite. I also had an old fashioned here and I was thinking about that drink for 2 days! I would tell you run don’t walk run and grab a seat and eat here whenever you get a chance.“

“Just tried Guilin rice noodles for the first time and I’m absolutely obsessed! The broth is incredibly fragrant and soul-warming, with a subtle spicy and savory depth that keeps you wanting more. The rice noodles themselves are silky-smooth and have the perfect chewy texture. Topped with crispy pork, peanuts, fresh herbs, and a hint of pickled vegetables—each bite is a beautiful balance of flavors and textures.
It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for something comforting and delicious, Guilin rice noodles will not disappoint. Highly recommend giving it a try!“

“I love this place great place to eat and great service“

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

“Chowking (131 W Carson St, Carson, CA 90745) never disappoints! The Beef Wonton Noodles are flavorful and comforting, perfect for satisfying any craving. The Sago’t Gulaman and Naicha Milk Tea are refreshing and perfectly balanced in sweetness. Their Halo-Halo is a must-try — creamy, colorful, and filled with all the classic Filipino ingredients. And the Taho is just like home — warm, soft, and sweetly nostalgic.

Overall, great food, friendly service, and a clean, inviting atmosphere. Definitely a 5-star experience for anyone craving authentic Filipino-Chinese comfort food!“

“I ordered their new Spicy Orange Chicken Fries and they were good. Good flavor and good portions. Not too spicy for me so I asked for extra chili oil. I also ordered their house special chow mein XTRA spicy and this definitely was spicy. Both dishes were good in flavor for the price. The only bad is the wait time for the dishes. Since they're popular now, expect to wait 30-60 minutes so order ahead!“

“This has been my favorite spot since the 80s (i'm 42). I've always loved their little chicken wings and chow mein. Even now as an adult and having lived all over California, I've yet to find a place that compares. This is a must stop for me every time I go visit family and I absolutely crave it when I'm not there.
the appearance is old and half shut down, but the Chinese food counter is still going strong. Big portions, delicious food, and great prices. And as a bonus: they are still selling the Orange Julius that I had when I was little too. I dont know how long they've been in business but since i remember them from when i was little, I can safely say at least 40 years and still Killing it.
Love you guys!“

“Very good food and excellent service“

“This was my first time and I loved it! I pass by sometimes and always wanted to try it. I ordered through DoorDash today and it was great. I got the Mongolian BBQ with egg rolls and a slush that had boba in it. I wanted it super spicy and it turned out just right. I even loved the boba it wasn’t hard or had a weird texture. They exceeded my expectations. The portion size was super filling for the price. I’m so happy I got this today :)“

“I had a really good meal at Juicy Dumpling Factory! The soup dumplings were solid and packed with a lot of juicy broth. I also tried the pan-fried dumplings, and those were probably my favorite—they’re crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and just fun to eat.

The cucumber salad was bomb and super refreshing. I also ordered the beef noodle soup, and I was pleasantly surprised. The noodles were bouncy, tasted fresh, and the broth had a lot of flavor. It looks spicy, but it’s actually much milder than I expected, which made it easy to enjoy.

Overall, a great spot if you’re craving dumplings and comforting noodle dishes. I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu!“

“I went to pick up some food since it’s super closed to my hotel. It’s prob the best 12$ I’ve ever spend. I got a combo which includes orange chicken, green bean, fried rice and noodle. It was too much food for 2 people but we really enjoyed it. They were really comforting for my asian food craving. The lady at the front was very sweet.“

“Love this place! Food is the bomb they sale breakfast lunch dinner and Chinese food!! If you haven’t tried this. You have to try it😍“

“Our new local watering hole with a great selection at the bar and DELICIOUS eats!“

“Highly recommend this hole in the wall Chinese place. Great customer service - they treat you like family. I ordered the bbq pork fried rice, but they have a wide menu to pick from. Everything I’ve tried here tastes amazing. If you want Chinese food in your area, this is the place to go.“

“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.“

“The malatang here was really satisfying! The broth was flavorful, rich, and had the perfect level of spice. I liked that there were many ingredients to choose from, and everything tasted fresh. The portion was generous, the service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving something warm, spicy, and comforting.“

“불맛 짬뽕 맛집~~“

“the food was absolutely amazing! 10000/10 this is some delicious traditional chinese food and 100% worth trying, the prices are amazing and the portions are HUGE! The lady worker who took our order was so incredibly kind and called us friends the second we entered, this place is truly a must try! Me and my husband ordered a plate and two soups, the soups come in a large size and have a super hot delicious broth with the best fresh veggies and meats, the plate was hot, fresh, and so flavorful! Panda express is nothing compared to this place, i highly recommend checking it out!“

“Visited the Redondo Beach locations and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. My friend and I came for lunch and boy were we pleasantly surprised. The food was high quality and our server, Michael, couldn't have been nicer. We will be regular customers.“

“While the outside of this place isn't the best looking or inviting, when trying out the food it was good. There is seating, though since I'm a big eater and comparing it to the other places I wish the food portations could be a tiny be more, otherwise than that a good place overall.“

“I order from No. 1 Chef often via Postmates. Something went wrong this time (not their fault, their computers were down), so my hubby and I took a quick trip to pick up our order. The lady was SOOOO nice and helpful over the phone. With that said, the food here is top notch! When I need comfort food, I get the egg flower soup and dumplings. The soup is ALWAYS hot and fresh and just feels like a hug. I've also ordered the egg fu yun, and trust this place is NOT stingy on the portions. Everything I've had has never disappointed. Yes, it may look like a hole in the wall, but if you want the kind of Chinese food that satisfies, give this place a try.“

“Came in to the restaurant while on vacation with family and the food was delicious, but our waitress Jasmine made the experience sooo much better! I’ve never been here before and she definitely sold it for me. Excellent job Jasmine. Will be coming back before we leave for sure!“

“Fu Sing is some of the best food in this city. The egg rolls (either chicken or pork) are crispy and flavorful. The wonton soup is top notch. I haven’t had a disappointing dish yet. The owner is a great guy. Glad to have them so close. Note this is just take out.“

“We enjoy eating out. Last night we found this delicious place which we didn’t know before. We spent a delightful experience there with great meal and a courteous crew and a talented cuisine. We added this fine restaurant in our phone list and we shall definitely visit again soon. We deeply recommend.“

“Every thing look so yummy n fresh ... Every body pls join n try it at Chinatown Express“

“Here's what I want in a Chinese restaurant:
Owned and operated by Chinese (yes)
A BIG menu (yes)
Fried things, steamed things, grilled things (yes)
Vegetables, lots of vegetables (yes)
A not previously frozen (not sure but there's is meh)
At least 3 soups (yes)
I don't get a headache or need to drink a ton of water (yes)
Leftovers (yes)

Is it the best Chinese place ever? No, I'm not tasting 5-spice powder, whatever New York or San Francisco have going on, this place doesn't, but what's really important is it's the best in a 3 city radius. I highly recommend it if you don't want to drive.“

“Great food and value. Staff is friendly and I love the atmosphere, the food is overall pretty good, but on some days it may be lackluster, perhaps due to a different chef. It's basically the quintessential entry price buffet experience, but better for what you're paying than most.

Would definitely suggest visiting“

“First time trying this place . They had allot of variety... Food looked fresh and colorful... That's a plus... Got chow mein,rice,spicy orange chicken and bbq pork... It was so delicious... They also give you a free egg roll..the price was very good compared to other's in the area... Parking was easy they have a phew reserved spots where you can park right next to the super market...will definitely come back... Will also recommend this place... Thank you..“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“The food was delicious, especially the scallion pancakes, which were the best I’ve ever had. The Dan noodles were a good match with the braised beef. Popcorn chicken was delicious. The soup dumplings were okay, but they were not very large for the price. The rice and sides were also good.

The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend it.“

“Friendly and attentive hosts! We were there for take out and they had us sit in a booth and asked if we wanted anything while we waited, ie water.
Reasonable priced especially for the portion sizes.
We are from the east coast and this is as authentic as anything in China Town, NYC!“

“My family and I had such a wonderful experience here! The food was delicious, but what truly made our visit special was our server, Zeeshan. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcomed and valued. He was incredibly kind, attentive, patient, and professional throughout the entire meal.

We accidentally had a mix-up with part of our order, and Zeeshan handled it with such a positive attitude and genuine care. He quickly helped resolve everything and made sure we were completely satisfied. It’s rare to come across customer service this exceptional.

Thank you, Zeeshan, for making our night so enjoyable. Your kindness and dedication did not go unnoticed. The food was fantastic, but Zeeshan outstanding service is what will bring us back. Thank you for making our night so special!“

“Food: Ordered Malatang and Street Squid to share, and both were great. The Malatang, which feeds two people, had a nice heat to it (take caution, those who are heat intolerant) and a nice assortment of ingredients. The Street Squid was addictive and tender. Overall, great first impression. Who knew this little gem was sitting in our backyard!

Service: No complaints! We were waited on by two guys, who checked in on us a few times.

Ambiance: Casual, modern, retro.

Parking: Limited parking. Street parking available.“

“This hidden gem food was delicious. I've lived in Carson all my life & mad that I never ate here. We had the beef fried rice, orange chicken, chicken chop suey, and dumplings. It's been a long time that I had good food like this. If you are in the area please try it. Best for take out not for dinning in.“

“Amazing boba I drive 20 mins just to get some here at least 2-3 times a week. The chinese food is pay per pound and their chow mei and fried fish are the best i’ve ever had. The safe are quick to take your order and make your boba, very nice and understanding. I believe it’s family owned and the cook always is brining out freshly cooked food so you don’t have to worry about food being left out for hours and only being kept warm because of a lamp“

“This place is amazing! I went there today and the lady who served me was so nice with great service, she even gave me a free coke! And the food was so good! I got the combo B. The chow mein and fried rice was delicious. But the bbq pork and orange chicken were another level, amazing food! And at a great price with massive portions. So glad I randomly stopped by, 100% recommend.“

“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.

Prices are very reasonable $ Ask for Vanessa N if you want amazing service. Thank you for making are first visit amazing.“
