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“

“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“

“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~~“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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'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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food and service were amazing. Everything tasted how it was supposed to, I wasn't left with a bad after taste. The bbq pork dumplings were really good. They had a hint of sweetness. The service like I mentioned was amazing. The workers kept coming to our table to make sure we didn't need anything, very attentive. This is my new favorite place. I'll be coming back often“

“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.“

“This is one of my favorite Chinese food spots 💯the food is fresh and affordable. Great options! Cooked with love. I love the kung pao chicken , Mongolian beef and the chicken and string beans. I always order the lunch special menu for lunch at work. Good portion for $10. Check them out!! Support small business ✌🏽🫶🏽“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“If you’re looking for a Chinese restaurant, that’s actually run by Chinese people and with the food prepared by Chinese people, this place will hit the spot. The food was better than expected, and not overly greasy or salty like so many other Chinese restaurants.“

“Amazing food with the most generous portions. We got Dan Dan noodles, tomato soup noodles, dumplings, custard buns and garlic ribs. So far every dish has not disappointed and impressed us deeply. This is rare as most places don’t do all dishes so good. 😊 Very authentic Taiwanese/Chinese cuisine.“

“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?"“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“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!“

“Atto has amazing authentic Korean food, outstanding service, and old school charm that really stands out from the crowd. The army stew was such a cool dish.. ramen noodles, sausage, spam and all sorts of great ingredients in a delicious broth. The spicy pork with tofu was perfect.. not too spicy but great flavor. The sweet and tangy pork loin was friend perfectly and the sweet and tangy sauce is a must try.. it is perfectly balanced with very bold flavors. The chef came out to chat with us and gave us the history of the army stew which was quite interesting. The dining room is cozy and comfortable with plenty of seating. We have tried so many Korean restaurants in the South Bay and Atto stands out for incredible food and a unique experience. Very highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Very popular Chinese Restaurant. The restaurant opened at 11:00am and was packed by 11:30 with people waiting for a table outside. It's best to have a reservation before coming out gets that crowded.

We ordered several items that were all awesome.

Tangerine Chicken is fried with a really tasty tangerine sauce. A little bit crunchy and the flavor is right on.

Sweet and Sour Pork perfectly cooked with Bell Peppers, Onions, Pineapple. Yummy

Pork Chow Fun with noodles that were cooked perfectly with bean sprouts, onions, Snow Peas.

Beef and Broccoli, Beef is tender and juicy with the right amount of sauce and tender broccoli.

Service is awesome and fast.

Small parking lot.“

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

“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.“

“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 👌“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Mongolian beef and chicken chow mein. All the Mongolian beef I've ever tried have been delicious this place a little unique, a little on the sweet side but still its good. Maybe next time ill tell the cook if he could not sweet the beef but its good. Chow mein was great! Haven't tried chicken chow mein that delicious in a long while. The place is laid out like a typical Asian restaurant, floors are clean, tables are cleaned as well very quiet just how i like it lol.“

“First time here and I'm saddened and surprised to see it doesn't have a better rating. I ordered a combo to items beef and broccoli, mushroom chicken and a oder of fried dumplings. I was so cought up on eating I didn't take pictures except for the dumplings that arrived later since they were freshly made. Service was fas and serious the ladies attending the front counter dispatched 5 of us swiftly. Nothing bad to report in my visit clean fast friendly service.“

“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“

“Best Chinese food“

“What a delicious lunch experience 🤤!

From food to friendly staff and cooks! Our server greeted us as soon as we walked in. Offered us drinks while we looked at their menu. She was very knowledgeable about the dishes giving us suggestions that she thought it would be yummier (actually, everything seemed deli we couldn't decide). Once we ordered it didn't take long to enjoy our food and it was just as yummy as it looks. Fresh ingredients for sure! We certainly would be back!“
