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 👌“

“This panda is very diligent and their workers are very earnest in their work. They were taking temps when I walked in and kept the space very clean. The cooks were on a break eating dinner, so when I ordered something that was out, the MANAGER went to the back and started working the wok. She did it without skipping a beat, and the food she made was good! The food I ordered was good overall as well, hot and hit the spot without being too greasy or overcooked like some pandas. This is a top tier panda“

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

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

“Had an Uber credit to use so quickly ordered a pickup order and have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. The zucchini and mushrooms salad was amazing, as was the chicken and mango. The order was ready in less than 5 minutes and would totally get food from them again!“

“I definitely recommend the chocolate xiao long bao“

“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.“

“nice place, food was delicious and good service“

“Obviously, we were already halfway through the meal before we remembered to take photos! The food is always amazing, and the servers are so friendly and welcoming. You can taste the freshness in every dish. The portions are generous too. We will definitely be coming back!“

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

“I ordered pickup but when i picked up the vibes were so nice inside. Ordered the vegetables egg roles & sesame seed red bean and AMAZING!!!! Sooooooo good. My new favorite place. Food was exceptional. Perfectly crispy and soooooo worth the craving!“

“Good food. Good prices. Dry noodles good, beef noodles soup was very good noodles and average broth. Worst version of cucumber salad -- cukes were dry (!?) and sauce was boring. What I make at home is far far better. Food came up SO FAST and that was remarkable“

“This place is a hidden gem and a longtime staple of Inglewood. As the neighborhood continues to change and become more gentrified, it still stands as classic that the local community genuinely loves. I’m really glad it’s still here and honestly hope it never leaves—people would be devastated if it did.

The food is amazing for locals who want a balance: lots of vegetables with just the right hint of fried and sweet flavors. Everything is hot, ready, and right in front of you. When ordering, it’s a little difficult to tell them what you want because eye sight is blocked by supplies, you have to point at what you want through the glass, and talk loud, the staff is older, but they’ve been doing this for a very long time. They are always generous so they should understand what you want. One plate is easily enough to feed two people. I can never finish a full plate myself and usually end up getting small boxes for everything. Prices are great, and contactless payment is available.

The vibe is small, quiet, and low-key. Seating is limited, with a couple of small tables and one table for four, which adds to the charm. It really does feel like a neighborhood spot rather than a tourist stop—Google Maps usually pushes Randy’s Donuts first, and honestly, we kind of want to keep it that way. People avoid it because they see “Donuts” and that’s how we like it.

I’ve been coming here for years. I remember when they had the donut side, which is gone now. I even brought my first girlfriend here, and I still come back every few months.

Whenever someone tells me they are coming to Inglewood, I always recommend three places: Randy’s Chinese Food, Bravo’s breakfast, and Tumby’s pizza. These places have been around forever, and they’re a big part of what makes Inglewood feel like home.“

“Food is always good. Their fried shrimp is delicious. Their crab roll is the best. Their egg rolls are legit perfect. All their food is good but by far their best is the beef and broccoli. Highly recommend you to try their beef and broccoli. The brocoli is always perfect not soggy or overcooked. It always has the best vibrant green color.“

“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.“

“불맛 짬뽕 맛집~~“

“Great value for good food. All food is paid for by weight except items from the menu, like won ton soup. The soup is just ok but the made to order Mongolian cooked right in front of you is great for the price. You can make it however you like. Lots of meat, vegetarian, with or without noodles and hot off the grill. So hot that we usually bring it home to eat and it’s still so piping hot we have to let it sit for a moment. There’s always left overs!
The buffet food is good as well.
My kids enjoy making their own bowls.
It’s an affordable, family pleasing, healthy and quick meal option!“

“This was the best chines ive ever eaten. I would even suggest this to all my european friends to visit the US just for this place. Who needs the walk of fame if you have this chinese in your mouth, Mmmmh i dream of it sometimes. My body yearns chinese from this place“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“What can I say. They did everything right. Great food, it was hard for me to stop eating it. The egg drop soup is insanely fantastic. The service was excellent. Very kind and attentive staff. We ordered multiple dishes and, each one was up to par. I definitely recommend this spot.“

“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.“

“I've had their Chow mein at friendsgiving and it was one of the best I've had. Just happened to be in the area and had to try some other entrees. Unfortunately the friend that brought it over took longer to reply on recommendations, but the orange chicken and teriyaki chicken were delicious. I'll be coming back to try some of the pork I was eyeing and some other items that were recommended.

Overall a great place for authentic fast casual Chinese food that's very generous with their servings. I came in around 7PM and there was a line extending to the inside of the door.“

“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.“

“Very nice good location and parkig“

“Service fast Great food!!!! Being from Chicago we were unsure n went on Yelp-This restaurant came highly recommended“

“i’m a foodie and I’m pretty picky. This is just small little place but the food is so tasty and the price is right. I had the shrimp and broccoli and a garlic sauce delicious and the egg flour soup they even have crispy noodles to put in it. And I have to say an egg roll should be crispy and they sure is. Go now!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“THE LADY IS VERY FRIENDLY WHEN I GO EAT THE PLACE HONG COMBO I TELL THE LADY I ONLY GOT $5 AND $6 I WANT THE FRIED RICE THE LADY GIVES ME TWO ITEMS OF CHICKEN SPICY CHICKEN OR THE PEPPER CHICKEN THE PLACE IS LOCATED ON 1347 WEST FLORENCE GOOD CHINESE HONG KONG FOOD LOVE I“

“Great place for a quick run of Chinese food. I really enjoy their noodles and their mushroom chicken. The food is good and the people are very nice and friendly on top of my the fact that their prices are fair. Their Thai tea is ? delicious !! Order the large one.

Parking: The place gets busy and the spaces in the lot are not enough sometimes. Half of the time you find a space and the other half you have to wait for someone to leave.“

“My family and I typically have Golden Phoenix a few times a year and it never disappoints. Definitely the best Chinese restaurant around and all of the meats, chow mein and variations of rice are delicious. My personal favorite is the Spicy Beef, which I would always recommend. Also the staff is always accomodating and extremely friendly! We will be returning to Golden Phoenix again“

“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.“

“I’m writing this because the manager at the Del Amo location - Eddie went out of his way to accommodate our catering order even though it was on short notice. He really went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs (there were many!) were met. This kind of service is truly exceptional and I’m very grateful to Eddie for making this so easy.“

“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😍“

“Very authentic chicken fried rice. It was the best that I've had in a long time“

“Best Chinese food I’ve had in a very long time! The rice was excellent, The egg drop soup was perfect and warm and seasoned well. I feel like this is just like a classic American Chinese food spot that even Anthony Bourdain would approve of. Knocked a star off for the chow mein, but I’ve never had good chow mein, not their fault. Definitely recommend and will be back!“

“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.“

“It's a hole in the wall small business with delicious food. I like that its buffet style you serve yourself. They have a good mix of items to chose from. I love the bang bang shrimp. They also have plantains which are my favorite. There's only like 2 or three workers when I have gone. Basic customer service. Minimal interactions. I would recommend this spot for a quick bite. My kids also all enjoy the food“

“Walk in to the host stand, and tell them how many people are in your party, and what you would like to drink.

While busy, you never wait more than 10 or 15 minutes for busy times.

From there, they walk you to your table, and you can all you can eat buffet style. They have a lot of american chinese food fare as well as American food for any picky eater friends.

I always get the hot tea.
The hot and sour soup is very good, the shumai is very good. Try a little bit of everything.

This Buffett has a soft serve machine as well!“

“I ate there yesterday, 03/06, with one of my bff’s, and the dining experience is consistently excellent. Smiley servers and helpers.

Before I get into my helpful hints, I need to single out Allison(Allie), our server, who was pleasant, thoughtful, and very attentive. She is a happy soul who seems to enjoy being servicful. I would be remiss if I didn't also acknowledge Haylie, the only female manager that I have seen onsite. She is amazing. I am not being hyperbolic; she is genuinely committed to ensuring you have a memorable and special dining experience. She stopped by our table a few times to check on us and make sure there was nothing more she could do to improve our dining experience. This is the only restaurant where I have experienced so much attentive service and positive energy, along with consistent food. It’s five-star dining—my helpful hint, especially if you’re a vegetarian or vegan and big on the veggies. If you have appetizers, order them first by themselves, and then, when you’re ready for your main dishes, have your server put them in second after finishing your appetizers. That way, you ensure that your second course isn’t sitting on your table. They’re so efficient that the food comes out so quickly that you’re still eating your appetizer, and the veggies are getting cold. Hope this review encourages you to try it. You won’t regret it. 🙏🏼🙏🏽“

“I will definitely recommend this place for all ages. I grew up on Chinese food restaurants and they have gradually disappeared. But found one of the best lo mein noodles in Playa Vista. So yummy!!! You need to stop by because the menu has such fresh food to order. I love the spicy marinated cucumbers. If you love Chinese then this is the modern version but with those big noodles that we grew up on. YUMMY!!!“

“Great service and great food, one of the servers was very happy to serve me and the other server was happy to see my girlfriend and I excited for a good meal. Just finished eating the food and my girlfriend and I are very satisfied. God Bless them, that their buissness may grow and prosper with blessings and beautiful roots.“

“Tried the sour soup with beef yesterday. Holy shiz it was sooooo good! Full of flavor and generous toppings.
Milk Tea was delicious but I thought it was gonna have boba. Silly me but still delicious!
Two cups of rice for 4 bucks ish was not bad! Poured the leftover soup onto it was a killer combo.
Definitely worth the visit.“

“I tried this today for the first time and it was awesome. Takes me back to when I was younger- my mom would always get Chinese food on her way home from work. The prices are extremely fair- and I loved the atmosphere. Very old school type of place. Loved it. Thank you so much.

I got teriyaki chicken, chow mein, and 2 egg rolls, all great flavors and good price.“
