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.“

“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.“

“nice place, food was delicious and good service“

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

“Din Tai Fung is a very nice restaurant with a clean and comfortable feeling. I really liked the outdoor seating area. It had a chill and relaxing vibe, and they also have heaters above the table area, which helps keep your head warm when sitting outside. Nice little detail.

The food was good, and I especially liked the cucumber appetizer. It was fresh, flavorful, and a great starter. The portions are a little smaller and the price is higher, but that is kind of expected for Din Tai Fung, especially inside a mall.

One small tip: the restroom is located at the back of the restaurant. If you see a red light above the door, that means it is being used.

Overall, great food, nice outdoor setup, and a very comfortable dining experience.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“If you're looking for good, affordable Chinese food, New China Mongolian Barbecue is definitely worth checking out.

What makes this place stand out is the Mongolian barbecue option, where you get to build your own plate exactly the way you want it. You can choose from a variety of meats, vegetables, noodles, and sauces, and there really aren't any restrictions on what you can add. Instead of charging by the item, they simply weigh your plate when you're done. Last I checked, it was around $5 per pound, making it an excellent value for the amount of food you can get.

My personal favorite is creating a plate with lamb, a generous mix of vegetables, and just a small amount of noodles. Once you've built your masterpiece, the cook stir-fries everything on a large round grill right in front of you. Watching the food being prepared is part of the experience, and the end result is always flavorful and satisfying.

In addition to the Mongolian barbecue, they also offer a buffet-style Chinese food section where you can build your own combination plate, similar to what you'd find at many Chinese restaurants. I've tried several of their dishes over the years, and I've enjoyed every one of them. The food is consistently tasty, and the portions are generous.

The atmosphere isn't the restaurant's strongest point. I remember it being a little warm inside during my visit, and the dining area is fairly basic. Because of that, I think this place shines more as a takeout spot than a dine-in destination.

Overall, New China Mongolian Barbecue delivers where it matters most: good food, large portions, and great value. If you're looking for a budget-friendly meal and like the idea of creating your own stir-fry, this place is definitely worth a try.

4 out of 5 stars.“

“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!“

“불맛 짬뽕 맛집~~“

“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“

“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 nice good location and parkig“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very good food and excellent service“

“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.“

“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.“

“Posting this review so I can reference their menu and throw this brochure away after (Summer 2026). Great hole in the wall chinese takeout spot. Great mom&pop alternative to Panda Express. Friendly staff and make sure to knock on both doors or call the phone number to grab their attention.“

“Monica our server was amazing. She has a welcoming spirit and was able to engage with all 20 guests in my party. She was kind, knowledgeable, amd accommodating. Monica was the cherry on top of our birthday celebration. She made each one of us feel special. The manager Tony was very nice as well. I am so happy we chose P.F. Chang's to celebrate. Thank you for the memories“

“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.“

“This place is better than what I was thinking I am glad I tried it they do not have many american foods but the pizza and fries were decent and I really liked the seafood the dessert bar wasnt as great as I hoped but honestly the best sweets were on another bar try the sesame ball and the chinese donuts those were so good I took some home I was sad they had put a banana flavor in the icecream machine but if it was vanilla I would have been very satisfied with a root beer float they took me by surprise but I think it was honestly and accident. I tried 4 types of chinese food chicken and they were all very good general Taos was the fave the coconut shrimp was the wifey's favorite we will be back for more.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“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“

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

“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.“
