    crispy spicy chicken w/ bones
    Truman W.

    1-2026 Visit. Happy to say my two go-to dishes are still the best in L.A. (I would love to know their secret sauce for the jjampong broth -- deep flavor, red but not spicy, with a hint of smokiness) Their house kimchee is still no bueno. All is well in Little China.

    While I cannot say that this is the greatest jjajangmyeon in the world, I can say that this is my favorite. Everytime I come here, I end up ordering so much that I have food for the rest of the week. The vibes are also immaculate and I feel so at home. The staff is very amiable and also feels like family. 12/10 would come here forever.

    my plate! the fried rice was soo good i just keep eating and didn't take a pic of the platter, check out the dumpling
    Dalia J.

    I'm so upset at myself for not having come here sooner! As a life-long Gardena resident it's only now that I've missed out on so many great places so I'm doing my part to visit local food places every Friday. This Friday (September 19, 2025) my friend and I came here. There are two rooms for sitting and we were sat in the 2nd dining room with the AC going (thank you Little China) nothing fancy but just a homey atmosphere. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. I had looked at the menu ahead of time and convinced my friend that we should order "meal for two A". We each picked our own entree (almond chicken and sweet&sour pork) and added the fried dumpling appetizer too. The A meal comes with wonton soup, pork fried rice, and fried wontons & egg rolls. All this and we received some kimchi banchan! We were not expecting a feast! The wonton soup was warm and flavorful with plump wontons and bamboo shoots, and peas...just so good! What I so appreciated about the food was that nothing was coated in a heavy sauce for the sake of coating things in a sauce. At Little China the food is the main character and that's what you're going to enjoy. The almond chicken was didn't skimp on the almonds. The sweet & sour pork was so crispy and the batter didn't get soggy in the sauce, just so perfectly balanced. The pork fried rice, HEAVEN!!! When you come to Little China. you're going to have an amazing food experience. I already can't wait to go back. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, very soon!

    Garlic Sauce Shrimp

    While the food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious--especially the garlic fried shrimp--the service completely ruined the experience. The staff was extremely rude and inattentive. When I asked a waiter for a fork, he curtly snapped, 'Wait.' On top of that, the food took forever to arrive, and we were completely ignored for the rest of our lunch. It's a shame the great food is overshadowed by such poor service.

    Korean Chinese food is such a bop. You can't convince me otherwise. Is it the healthiest? No but who cares, live to eat, not eat to live right? So where do we even start. Get the tangsuyuk, kkanpung saeu, jajangmyeon, and jjamppong. Tangsuyuk, fried chicken, is a staple for any Korean Chinese restaurant. Crispy and juicy with some of that amazing sweet and sour sauce to go along with it. You just can't go wrong with it. Kkanpung saeu, fried shrimp, is equally amazing. Crispy and juicy and bursting with flavor, I had to restrain myself lest my future father in law gets mad at me for eating it all. Oops. Jajangmyeon is the classic. This black bean noodle is more korean but it's got the essentials. Plenty of black bean sauce, bits of meat, and noodles for days. It's hard to mess jajangmyeon up. My favorite would probably be jjamppong though. This seafood noodle was not too spicy but just jammed pack full of seafood and what not. Each bite left me sniffly but wanting more and more. I had stains all over my shirt and pants afterward if that's any indication of how much I liked it. So there you go, this hole in the wall restaurant is fantastic, eat here on many occasions if you can. The workers mostly speak Chinese, not so much Korean, but English will get you by too.

    Food is fresh and flavorful. Love their noodle soup and fried dumplings! Spicy noodle soup is a must try.

    16. Orange Chicken Lunch.  Kimchi Steam Rice Noodles with Black Bean Sauce
    Nora H.

    Great service! Workers know multiple different languages and are very efficient. They are also very friendly with children. Food comes out fast, hot, and delicious every time. Their menu is huge so there will always be something to enjoy regardless of differing tastes. Id recommend getting a few dishes and splitting with everyone, its served family style anyways. The black bean noodles and seafood soup are some of our favorites.

    The food tasted good overall; however, the portion size was much smaller than expected. We ordered a large tangsuyuk, but it appeared closer to a small portion.

    kkanpung saeu (fried shrimp with garlic sauce)
    Yery J.

    don't know why the overall review is so low... this place definitely has great korean chinese food!! there's a lot of seating and the servers were so nice. my family and i took a while to order but the guy there was super patient with us and even helped us pick out our menu. the food... SO GOOD. here's what i've tried: sizzling rice soup omg... i was not expecting this to be so good. my mom ordered this and i ended up eating more of it then her. it's an interesting porridge dish; the rice comes fried and the worker puts it in the soup, where it makes a sizzling noise (hence the name). it had various seafood in it and it was so scrumptious... jajangmyeon (noodle with bean sauce) wow. i usually don't like jajangmyeon but this had me scraping every bit on the bowl. the noodles were cooked to perfection. the portion is big so if you ask them to divide into half, they'll do it for you!! kkanpung saeu (fried shrimp with garlic sauce) scrumptious. great sauce, the shrimp is crispy and overall, it's just flavorful. this place is amazing; will def come back next time and try other dishes as well!!

    Does anybody know a better place for jjammpong in the southbay?

    H Mart on PCH & Anza has good jjampong in the food court!

    Any gluten free options? (Non soy sauce as that has gluten unless they use GF soy sauce)

    do you have celiac disease that's why you need gluten-free? No gluten-free chinese restaurants as a far as I know. but you can buy G-F soy sauce.

It was a busy day for Mul Naeng-Myeon but they conveniently had a couple tables for us. They can get busy, and there was a line forming as we were eating, so it is understandable if the service can seem a little pushy at times, and this comes out in very subtle ways (i.e. There's no AC, only a small fan. If they want you to leave, they'll position the fan away from you). Cold water is also only available upon request, as well as extra napkins. Otherwise, you'll be wiping your mouth with a one-ply napkin the whole time. The banchan was great. I especially loved the onions and perilla leaves. The kimchi tasted fresh and tangy, but the radishes were a bit too sweet and cut very clunky. The Naeng-Myeon was good; it tasted very heavily of sesame, and not much else. The meat was also pretty tough to chew. Very filling, but expensive for the amount of meat you get. Definitely made use of the vinegar and mustard, which they eventually took away to give to another table. I'm thinking I just ordered the wrong thing and came on the wrong day. I saw what other people ordered, and it looked delicious, always served with enthusiasm. Next time, I'll have what they're having.

The inside is nice and spacious, a little dimly lit and clean. The worker was very friendly and service was quick. We asked for his recommendation and he suggested we try any of the yukgaejang. He brought out two sets of banchan - fish cakes which were firmer and more seasoned with sesame oil than some other place which was pleasant, a nice sweet fresh kimchi, and some chive kimchi, as well as the condiments for our dishes. To split, we got the small bossam, the rice cake and dumpling soup, the mul naengmyeon, and the yukgaejang with fresh pasta. Everything was super flavorful, large enough to split between the 5 of us, and delicious. The standouts are definitely the yukgaejang - the fresh pasta may sound weird but is a nice chewy thick noodle and the broth is rich and flavorful with just a bit of spice - and the bossam - at a lot of places the small bossam is still huge, and this was a good size so that we still had room for other dishes, and the meat itself was more flavorful, tender and nice and warm on the steamer that it came out on! The rice cake and dumpling soup and the mul naengmyeon were also solid. I'll definitely be back at Yuk Dae Jang for a warm comforting bowl of yukgaejang and bossam with friends :) Bonus, you don't have to go to ktown!

Instead of showing any understanding or hospitality, the owner told me to leave the restaurant and wait in the coffee shop next door. I was shocked because I had every intention of purchasing food. I wasn't causing a disturbance or asking for anything unreasonable. The way I was spoken to and treated made me feel embarrassed, unwelcome, and honestly as though I was being judged before I was even given a chance to order. I left feeling humiliated. Customer service is about treating people with basic kindness and respect, and unfortunately, that was completely missing during my visit. I won't be returning, and I hope the owner learns that a little compassion can make a huge difference in how customers are treated.
