50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Rancho Palos Verdes

“Food - pretty good but not great
Service - nice people but minimal service
Ambiance - clean and comfortable

I have been to many Northern Cafes and have been looking forward to this one. I noticed most of the reviews were about dumplings and realized this one is more specialized for dumplings (boiled, pan-fried and steamed XLB varieties.

I was hoping for the noodle specialties like the one in Gardena (which is my favorite in the region, 10 min more drive for me).

We ordered:
- crab dumplings- steamed, XLB style, it was pretty good
- lamb dumplings- pan fried, it was ok, a little oily
- beef noodle soup- it was ok, they only served with thin noodles, we preferred other handmade varieties at the Gardena store

We also ordered the beef rolls to go, it looked exact like the ones shown on the poster, ha ha.

Overall, pretty good if you are hungry dumplings!“

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

“I definitely recommend the chocolate xiao long bao“

“nice place, food was delicious and good service“

“Family friendly, fast service and amazing food. We ordered the beef chow fun, lotus root and spicy fish.

Everything was authentic choosing reminded me of Hong Kong, fish was on par with china and the lotus root was reminiscent to my childhood.“

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

“I didn't actually dine this time. I went to reserve space for the weekend for my ladies social club. We HAVE eaten here many times. It's one of our favorite spots! The food is plentiful, the service is good and the staff is very accommodating. For the amount of food they provide, the prices are EXCELLENT! You get such a large amount of deliciousness for the simple, singular prices. LOVE the food quality and quantity! If you haven't already, you should give it a try. I'm sure you'll love it as much as we do.“

“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~~“

“Best steam table Chinese I've ever had. The only lady behind the counter was efficient with the line that was in there.

Bbq pork was tender and delicious, grab some hot mustard. The orange chicken is something we don't usually order but was great here, still crunchy. Egg foo young was made fresh to order and surprisingly wonderful, airy and the best use of water chestnuts I've seen. The lady even chopped it up for us with a huge cleaver so it was easier to eat. The fried rice has chunks of bbq pork and egg and the chow mein had chicken and egg. They have both Sriracha and chili oil. It was enough food for two plus leftovers

It's been open for forty years and is inside a cute, kitchy building. Parking lot is tiny and one way, enter from KFC around the corner“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great food great service the man who made my food who I assume was the owner was so nice I've been looking for my favorite dish which is Singapore Mei Fun and I've called every Chinese restaurant in Carson and everyone tells me they don’t make it or they have some fat noodle that they call rice noodles, but this man knew exactly what I wanted and made the best dish that I’ve ever had in my life. This is my new place. I love this place and I love the food and the great service and the great prices. also, it was the first Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to with a Christmas tree, which was cool Thank you and God bless.“

“This is by far the best of the combo chinese food restaurants' orange chicken. And i really like the flavor of their chow mein, it's more garlicky than other places which are more bland. But i usually go out of my way to go here if i get the chance.“

“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.“

“Everything here is fresh and delicious – that’s the best way to sum up this lovely place. Soft background music, an incredible selection of dishes, and all of it unlimited: fish, beef, baked mussels, rolls, pastries, a fantastic egg soup, and so much more. Absolutely five stars, especially at just $20 for an all-you-can-eat experience.“

“This is our go to Chinese food place for decades now.Im happy to see that they are still trying in this economy and after pandemic like most of the old businesses are closing down they are still trying to serve delicious food and still stay reasonable and affordable.I was here last night with my parents and my kids and im surprised that they are turning into modern ambiance now.they are under construction and by looking at it they are doing good I cant wait to see the final outcome and will definitely be back again.Incase your wondering what I always order from them is there famous salt and pepper pork chop,house special fried rice,house special beef,salt and pepper shrimp head on and the complimentary dessert at the end. we spent 100$ including tip and lots of to go food and for a dinner price i think it still affordable and worth it.“

“I really like the food, is really tasty and they’re so generous when they’re serving the food. I eat my lunch there and they’re so fast taking your order which is convenient for workers like me who don’t have so much time for lunch. Btw it’s not expensive“

“The food is amazing! Favorite takeout place. Beef broccoli, cashew chicken and pork fried rice are my favorites. Their cream cheese wontons, pot stickers and egg rolls are amazing too. The egg drop soup is also good. Would definitely recommend, prices not too bad too! Small building though with only 1 or 2 tables“

“I've been going here for several yrs now but recently discovered there Shrimp dish in a creamy white sauce w/Pineapple that is Awesome & The rest of they'r food is pretty good also best yet is on Sunday but to plates & You get a 3rd plate free! Can't beat that deal!“

“Pleasant experience . Surprisingly and important for me who does not drive, they do deliver! Prompt and still warm. We ordered house special lo mein and house special chop suey both very tasty. It seems it is under new ownership. Their menu is different.“

“The BOMB!!! This is my favorite restaurant for Chinese noodles - since they’re always moist. Whenever I fly into LA (it’s a must to drop by and pick up a plate that’ll last all day). Seriously the portion sizes are wonderful ?. Been coming here for over a decade & I hope they stick around the neighborhood for many more years to come.“

“We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious and fresh our dim sum was. We've had long-time favorite restaurants as go to places for dim sum nearby, but no longer. We will definitely be returning to Sea Empress Seafood Restaurant.
We have returned several times now and have been pleasantly surprised by the subtle menu changes.“

“Parking is a nightmare but the food is pretty good!
You got to be careful in the parking lot with all the chaotic drivers. The only reason we haven't had a car accident yet is because my brother is so vigilant.

I recommend their Taiwanese beef rolls and string beans!“

“I wish I knew they sell fried tilapia. I been getting my fried tilapia elsewhere this whole time until I found out they sell them. Ong they're soooo good eating it with the lemon they supply it with ?

Kid-friendliness: My kids love coming here for their gum ball and toy machines ? "Mom can we go to the fish house to get gumballs?"“

“Fantastic tastes 👌 better than Korea black noodles 🍜 😋
My friend recommended here tastes and service, and very clean.
Friendly greetings feel welcoming!
Specijumbo set !! So good and made up full
Thank you for good service and big smile .
See you again
I strong recommend this place .“

“Fine Wok in Harbor City is a total neighborhood gem. The black pepper beef with fried rice was super flavorful, the salt and pepper pork had the perfect crunch, and the egg drop soup hit the spot. The husband-and-wife team running the place are so friendly and make you feel right at home. Portions are big, prices are fair, and everything tastes fresh. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.“

“They are honestly very nice staff who work there! When people are in class, there is pretty much no wait time. When people get out of class though, its a bit of a wait. I wish they gave out larger portions though! Fill up the plate! Don't be shy :)“

“I thought it was Chinese food looking quickly through the pictures then when i got in there i relized there was no fried rice and i saw sausage links so i knew something was different but i continued to continued to order anyway when i said i want the noodles she said $3 extra ive never heared the cheapest thing on the menu being up sold but i figured it had to be more to the story. The food turned out to be some of the best near harbor city most places lack flavor around here the noodles are not good even without the $3 upsale i would not get it again but i will definitely be going back. egg rolls are fire. I just dont think the only vegetarian item should sit on not only meat and fish but pork and fish“

“I usually don't like to leave reviews on Google unless it's really bad or really good. Well, I'm glad I found this place! The food there is fresh and authentic. The price is very reasonable with a good portion size, especially the combos which are great value. I also tried some of their soups. They are absolutely yummy and soothing. Their service is really good too. I'm very specific about food. I asked a lot of questions on my first visit, but they were very patient and helpful. This place is now my go-to Chinese food spot. Would highly recommend it!“

“To be honest, probably the best Panda Express I have been to. The service is amazing. All the crew working in this location is amazing, they make sure you are having a good time. The portions are good to compared to other locations. Very impressed with this location.“

“Surprisingly good chinese food and french fries. I was expecting nothing - it’s a pier and a little chinese fast-food stand.

We had the chicken and broccoli and it was plentiful and flavorful. The noodles and steamed rice (1/2 and 1/2 plate) were standard and good. The French fries, while frozen crinkle cut fries were salty and delicious. Make sure to ask for them extra crispy.

The woman at the register was kind and polite and even gave us a glass of ice water. Most places like this aren’t this solid.“

“I love Panda Express as much as the next guy, but as I’m absolutely destroying my plate, I notice something on my noods. I notice that there’s some kind of paper material stuck to it. At first, i thought maybe I had dropped some straw wrapper in my food, & thought nothing of it. But as I continued eating, I noticed another noodle with paper on it. Come to find out, the packaging of the meal was peeling due to the heat of the meal. The chow mein had come out fresh, so I know it was pretty warm. I hope someone at panda that can make a difference WILL because I don’t feel particularly good when I’m eating paper at one of my favorite take out restaurants ):(Sorry if pictures do it justice. Peep nood & packaging)“

“Pretty good and big portions! We ordered the Crispy Seasoned Pork Chops, BBQ beef, Special Fried Rice, and the Chopsuey. The Pork Chops were crispy on the outside, but tender inside, which was nice. The chopsuey was not like what I was thinking in my head when I ordered it, but was still good. The fried rice and the BBQ beef though were not as flavorful as we would have liked, but overall it was still a great meal and we had a decent amount of leftovers to bring home! The servers were also really nice, so that gives them added points in my book! :)“

“Panda Express is one of the most reasonably priced chain restaurants with fabulous nutritious and delicious food. My only issue was that the wok fried shrimp was a little too spicy for me. I note that I really have very little tolerance to hot spicy dishes. I would have liked some warning that the wok fried shrimp had chili in it. Nevertheless, I added some plain rice to my meal when I got home and it was fine. My friend happily eats chili and he loved his meal.“

“Food is amazing. Only four stars because I feel it's too expensive.“

“Sea Shore Seafood Restaurant Is a Chinese Restaurant with seafood specialty. This was my first time visiting here. I found the food here to be very tasty. The atmosphere was great. There was six in our group and everyone enjoyed this location. This is a place I would be willing to go to agan soon.“

“Hidden shopping center with a hidden Gem. Inside is pretty spacious. Was not busy when we went. They have Chinese food option and Mongolian as well. Went for the build your own Mongolian bowl. You’re charged by the pound and for a reasonable price. You get to choose your sauces which is good. Food tasted fresh and flavorful. Definitely worth the drive. Looking forward to come try there Chinese food next time“

“Yesterday while working across the street I decided to try this place. Is pretty small with about 8 tables enough for 20 people or more and nough to enjoy breakfast or lunch. Now many people have food to go. Wide variety of options to choose from. I had teriyaki chicken with shrimp . The lady who was there is very friendly and my order came out very fast the price is super reasonable for the size of the meal and most importantly it was really tasty. Definitely have to go again if I'm nearby.“

“Bomb!

Fried chicken was super tasty, not spicy at all if that's what you're looking for though.

Soy garlic ribs were really good too!

Both were way too much for two people. My wife and I are stuffed and there's enough for ones of to have lunch tomorrow.

Just have to wake up before she does and take it to work with me!“
