49 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“

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

“nice place, food was delicious and good service“

“Great hidden gem... Mostly regulars here, so I'm glad a friend brought me! everything was delicious, very typical chinese restaurant so familiar flavors... Portion size is amazing. Great value for family style eating. If u don't take leftovers home, ur a better eater than I...

Vegetarian options: They are willing to sub tofu or to make dishes without meat.“

“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.“

“This location is always busy. However, they can always manage regardless of situation. Quelly, the counter person is very accommodating, she even suggested the right order for the family. They always wear a smile. The whole crew were happy during our stay in the dining. They also gave us coupon for the next visit. Thank you, Chowking!“

“My wife and I have been in need of a new Chinese restaurant and we have finally found it. This restaurant is well worth the drive to Redondo to get some of the best food I have had in a long time. The service was prompt and courteous. The drinks came right away and they took our appetizer order at that time. The crab rangoons came out first and are some of the best I have had ever! We ordered quite a few items to sample and find our new favorites, also to be able to take home and share with our parents. Every dish was perfectly cooked and wonderfully seasoned. The portion size was very large which gave us plenty to share and to take home as well. The meat was all very tender and flavorful and the rice and noodles were perfect as well. I can't say enough good things about this place. We will now only be coming here for our Chinese food cravings, which is quite often. I should also not that it seems the menu is very extensive with all your favorite Chinese and Thai dishes and the hot sake was very tasty as well. Make sure to try this place when you get your next craving.“

“The Best Buffet in the area! ? Rotation is on time so everything is Hot! Waiters are very kind and go beyond their duty to take care of you & your family. I advice to please bring cash for their Tip ?

Kid-friendliness: They have lots of Pizza ? & dessert ? for kids“

“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.“

“Haven't been back to PFchangs in a while but the quality of the food hasn't change, always been good, but there has been changes on how the serving sizes. And also their dessert menu always have been small but I feel like it got smaller. Other than that, enjoyed our experience and the 8.99 cocktails are sooo worth.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“The food was delicious. I misremembered the name of one of the dishes I wanted & the lady made a couple of suggestions until I found the right one. Rice was included, though I forgot to specify that I wanted it. A while back, they didn't include unless you asked.“

“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.“

“One of my favorites places when we don’t know what to eat. First time we ate here was probably because another restaurant had a long wait and we randomly tried it out.

Parking can be difficult in this old plaza depending on the hours. Seating usually doesn’t take too long.

One of the best things about this places is the noodles. House made, can be adjusted to your liking. They’re perfectly chewy and have a nice texture to them.

When I first visited, one of my favorites places dishes here was the kung pao chicken. It used to be very unique, fried super crispy before mixed with the carrot, peanuts, peppers, and other bits. On our recent trip, it’s seems like they completely changed the recipe, it’s on the sweet side, no carrots or other veggies and peanuts were just added on top. I lost one of my favorite dish here, would never order the current kung pao chicken again.

Not pictured or ordered since it was a hot day, but one of my favorites is their beef noodle sou. It’s a great comfort dish with excellent flavor and good portions of meat and veggies

All of their dry noodles or cold noodles are delicious as well.

One of their house specialty entrees I really enjoyed and will order again is the spicy spare ribs. Super crispy, good spices. Might be a bit on the oily side, but it’s delicious.

XLB are good, not the best but perfectly fine. Juicy and good flavor.

Cold cuts are good as an appetizer, you can choose however many you want and portions are good.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. I would say they get swamped a bit during busy hours as they handle tables and also take out orders.“

“This is a fun dim sum restaurant where your family can go and choose different types of dim sum and fried bread from a cart when you're craving dim sum on the weekend.

Vegetarian options: Stir-fried Bok Choy

Parking: There is a parking lot at the shopping mall, so you don’t have to worry about parking.“

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

“This place has been around for so many years, which is usually a sign of a great restaurant, especially in this economy! Anyway, we've been coming here for years, longer than we've even lived in Torrance, everyone loves the food whenever we get it. They have the best Szechuan eggplant I've probably ever had, as well as great soups, eggrolls, and the different chicken dishes we've tried are always just as good! Szechuan chicken, Kung pao chicken, and they have a very unique teriyaki chicken, which is actually really good also!“

“One of the best Jajangmyeon I've ever had!Jajangmyeon is a Korean-Chinese dish of thick noodles covered in a rich, fermented black bean sauce and served with vegetables and pork. The savory, salty, and slightly sweet dish is a cultural icon in Korea, often associated with childhood memories and special occasions. The noodles are made fresh which makes it extra special. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic sauce is a perfect accompaniment with it's tangy crunchy chewy spicy taste! This is the type of place that
will be your go to for Korean Chinese dishes! Nothing fancy on inside but super clean and super friendly staff!“

“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.“

“불맛 짬뽕 맛집~~“

“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.“

“This is a small family owned restaurant. The Mongolian is great - they give you the option of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce and cook it to order. You pay by the pound so be mindful as you stack your bowl, however, the price is very reasonable. I usually get multiple meals out of 1 order. The grill is well maintained and always clean.“

“Chinese takeout spot with a VERY toned down Szechuan spice. Came here for late night food and the lady was so nice!!! Dishes I recommend are string beans,Kung Pao chicken, and string beans. Im Chinese and thought the spicy szechuan chicken wasnt spicy at all, more like takeout style than actual szechuan. All the dishes need more garlic, onion, szechuan peppers, and chilli peppers to qualify as authentic szechuan food. Chilli oil on the condiments was too pickley. No this is not authentic szechuan food where everything is stir fried in mountains of spices. This is more like above average Chinese takeout with a twist and the service is excellent. Very good prices.“

“Delicious! The new management gave the interior a much needed facelift but the more important thing is the food is still high standard (maybe the chef is the same?) The tofu with century egg is really good with the chili sauce as were the beef rolls. The beef noodle soup was a bit un-inspired but not bad.“

“This place was recommended to us, so we went to check it out after coming from the beach and the food was really good!!!
We ordered a lot, enjoyed everything and the ones that stood out were the pork chop, (we even had an extra order) squid, and the honey walnut shrimp. The lady server was very attentive, funny and thoughtful with the free dessert.“

“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.“

“My recent visit to this Chinese restaurant left me thoroughly impressed. The service was outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. The food was a revelation, a perfect blend of textures and tastes that delighted the palate. The ambiance was serene, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether you're seeking a romantic dinner or a family gathering, this restaurant is sure to exceed your expectations.“

“Absolutely blown away by this amazing Chinese restaurant! We started with the Beijing duck, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve had—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. You could taste the quality and care put into every bite.

We also ordered the fried chicken wings, and they were packed with flavor—perfectly crispy, seasoned just right, and seriously addictive.

The char siu, sausage, and shrimp fried rice was a total standout. Every bite was loaded with rich flavor and generous portions of meat and seafood, making it one of the most satisfying fried rice dishes I’ve had in a long time.

The fried tofu was also delicious—crispy on the outside, soft and silky on the inside, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce.

On top of the amazing food, the waitress was super friendly and kind, which made the experience even better. Will definitely be back to have some more!“

“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.“

Kim was the Only one to shout out hell o & flash me with that beautiful smile of hers , she was welcoming , warming & extremely attentive!!

Know you a real one . 🙏🥀…“

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

“Fine Wok is one of Torrance’s best hidden gems for Chinese food. It’s a family-owned business, and the pride they take in both their food and service really shines through. The wife who runs the front is always so kind, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home every time.

The portions are very generous for the price, and the quality is always consistent. One thing I really appreciate — it doesn’t matter if you call in your order or place it in person, they never skimp on the portions. And when you order a dish with protein, it’s always well-balanced — no stingy servings here. You truly get your money’s worth, every time.

Everything is flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or dining in, Fine Wok always delivers. Support local, support family-run — this spot deserves all the love!“

“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.“

“Best Chinese food“

“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 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“

“Love this place so much I come here after church, it's super filling the food is hot and they give you a huge amount of food! The Chile oil is a very good flavor and good price. And it's such a good price for the amount of food you get and the amount of flavor , I recommend!“

“Wonderful experience! I have been very satisfied with Hansol Noodle.
The staff are very friendly, and the food is high quality. Each and every soup has its own unique variety of flavors, smells, textures, and styles. There's so many different things to try, you won't soon get bored here! The food comes out hot and carefully made to provide you the best experience possible! There's plenty of seating, plenty of parking, and a wonderful grocery to shop at before or after you eat! I encourage you to give it a try!
10/10 would recommend, I will return!“

“Been here more than 5 times already and i work nearby construction its definitely worth it just getting a combo plate which is less then 12 bux and get u sum french fries ? like your really chillin and they fill up ur plate to the max too for hella cheap and if u a big eater who can eat a whole pizza box and more by urself this place will definitely satisfy your belly

Parking: Parking is easy theres alot of space most of the time

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly i would feel safe with my kid here, its js a bunch of sweet Chinese ladys getting u ur food

Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah“

“The price of a 2 entree plate with mein noodles and or fried rice is about 12$ this April 2025 and a soup can run for about the same but you can get the bowls which you can ask for 2 entrees will be 8$. This picture has mushrooms chicken in a mild brown sauce with carrots and squash zucchini. A quart eaten. And pink charsiu pork BBQ. Half eaten. It's one of the most dependably good feelings you can get in San Pedro. Comfort Chinese food at Louie's Number 2 Chinese Restaurant. Number 1 is in Wilmington.“

“Sue’s Kitchen is a family favorite! The atmosphere is 5/5, food is a 10/5 if I could give it that rating, the people 5/5. Everyone is so sweet, and I hope this business continues to stay. All the small appetizers never disappoints, beef noodle soup is amazing, stir fry is so flavorful. Hands down, best Chinese restaurant I have ever been to!“

“Not too many good places to eat in Wilmington I recommend this place. It was good ...“
