Szechuan Restaurants in Lomita, CA

“Ruiji is a great visit for authentic Sichuan cuisine. They have some of the normal western dishes, but also some more authentic items you wouldn’t find at other Chinese restaurants. My friend got the General Tso and it was good, but a little on the sweet side for me. I prefer more savory and spicy when I order this dish. I got the Sichuan Popcorn Chicken. It was nice and spicy, salty, and savory with garlic and a nice amount of sichuan pepper and red chilis. I hope to try other dishes when I visit again.“

“I hadn't been here for many years until last weekend (April 6th). And I am so glad we found it again. We went there specifically to celebrate our son's 49th birthday at his request. The selection of dim som was very large AND very good; some of the best I've ever had. There were 9 of us & each of us found a selection to suit our desires, & as noted, each & every choice was better than the last. There were the usual dumplings & veggie choices but also a large selection of stuff I never saw before (& can't spell) like tripe & chicken feet. I can go on & on but needless to say, EVERYONE was satisfied to the nth degree. Service was attentive, friendly & knowledgeable. The eating environment was bright & clean; nothing outstanding, but you don't eat ambiance as I'm fond of saying. Some of the places that the late Johnathan Gold of the LA Times loved were real dives. This place didn't fall into that category but it was more than acceptable. I highly recommend this place especially for dim som lovers.“
