I had initially thought my experience with this restaurant was an isolated incident. Several months ago, I had lunch there and suffered from severe diarrhea shortly afterward. However, just last week, two friends and I dined at the same restaurant, and all three of us experienced gastrointestinal distress — including one person who also vomited. Additionally, we all felt excessively thirsty after the meal, which raises concerns about the possible use of heavy MSG or other additives. This establishment appears to have serious health and food safety issues that warrant further attention.

I recently had a deeply disappointing experience at Sue's Kitchen. While the food has never been particularly impressive, I’ve occasionally stopped by due to its proximity to my office. A few weeks ago, I discovered that this restaurant had altered my credit card charge by increasing the tip amount by an additional 10%, despite the fact that I had already left a 15% tip. I brought this to their attention with the original receipt and credit card statement, and they assured me it wouldn’t happen again. Unfortunately, during my most recent visit, I noticed they had increased the price of my usual order. When I inquired, they insisted the price had been the same since opening and responded with an aggressive and disrespectful attitude. This pattern of dishonesty and poor customer service is unacceptable, and I will not be returning!!!

Not the best environment tbh, but you can trust the noodles and appetizers here! Yet to try more, will keep coming back! Also portion of noodles is pretty big for its prize. Owner is very kind!

The best beef noodle soup in the area. The beef is of excellent quality, with a very rich broth.

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!

Hands down the most authentic, the best beef noodle house in all of Torrance and within 5 miles radius. The price they charge has been and still is amazing in today's economy in 2024 and I come here everyday for their beef noodle soup. Other places would easily charge the same beef noodle soup for 18 dollars a bowl.
Like the other reviews said, the restuarant is pretty bare bone and has no decoration, holes to the walls but in my opinion is a plus unironically. Because I'm here to eat good noodles and not here to pay for them to put up fancy decorations.
I recommend ordering beef noodle soup with wide noodles instead of regular thin noodles, wide noodles just taste better for me and feels better to chew on.
I also recommend their Szechwan Style Cold Noodles. Sweet, a bit sour and packs lots of heat.You can't really find this dish anywhere else closeby.
I have ordered a combination of cold dishes on their menu. The price listed on their menu is #50 @$6.90 for 1 meat and 2 vegetables. They charged me $8, i.e. 16% on tax. They said the tax is correctly charged! I went into their bathroom through the kitchen. It is disgusting to see the hygienic condition of the kitchen. All staff do not speak English and are very rude.

The food is authentic! I liked their Taiwanese beef noodle soup, the cold appetizer dish reminds me of hometown flavor back from China.
After changing bosses a few times, the taste is still good.

A very authentic Chinese food experience coming from a Taiwanese gal. Our favorite dishes were the fried chicken leg rice (reminded me so much of the bentos I would eat in Taiwan when I was young), mapo tofu, and wontons in spicy chili oil. The owners/chefs don't speak very much English, but they were super nice and accommodating. (Usually that's how you know a place is legit!)
