Chicken Chow Mein and Sweet and Sour Pork with complimentary white rice and fortune cookies!
Linda D.

I was trying to look for my new go-to Chinese food because the other places I used to take out from are long gone since the 90's. I ordered the basic chicken chow mein which lacked flavor. Also ordered sweet and sour pork, and the taste was more sour. The components were there just the flavoring was off. I'm still on the hunt for a good Chinese food. Yes, I know I'm picky but that's OK!

Takeout only. The food is very well prepared fresh. The service is great. They also have lunch special deals as well. Limited standing room. They have a few chairs in front of the location. Recommend to place a phone order and picking it up. Wait time is not too bad if you walk in and order. Its about 15 to 20 min wait on average.

132. Combination Chow Mein

Food was ok In their sign in front they say they don't use msg This time #1 House special #127 combo chow mein Service is good Have tried here in the past for take out Can't complain of their food always the same with slight price inflation for the past few years Price is reasonable base the food size and portion Ambiance this place does not have any seating Mostly take out and delivery with min $12 also can order through Gub hub

LOVING their paper bag packaging!

My dumb ass nerdy hypochondriac side wants me to type "Mandalorian Kitchen" for some reason. For many many years of driving down Torrance Blvd.... I would always pass by this place and its sign, wanting to try it, but never did. Recently, I finally tried it because many others on Yelp have talked about it, good and bad; so I wanted to experience and judge it for myself. All day, I didn't eat any breakfast or lunch, so when I was craving this, it made me way more excited to finally try it because from all the pictures on Yelp, their walnut shrimp and orange chicken looks amazing! As I arrived to this destination, I had to damn near play chicken with the very busy street in which I had to U-turn and drive into a small area to park in the back of this place. Thankfully, they didn't have a lunch rush and it wasn't busy at all. It is such a small restaurant to where there's basically no seating at all. I guess it's mostly known for its take-out, but whatever... I'm all about the quality of the customer service and food, mostly. The people working and taking my order were really nice and patient with me as I took decided. Their $7.99 and up lunch specials are actually pretty damn cool because you get a choice of 3 different soups, one egg roll and cheese wonton or something.... So I got the special with green beans and with orange chicken with my soups being egg flower. I loved how they packaged my food so nicely with the very durable stapled paper bag and cool meal prep looking containers. Once I got home, I was extremely excited to finally try their food, so I dug in!!! So I've tried so many Chinese places' food and I'm kind of picky and have different standards because of how spoiled we have it here in So Cal. Honestly, I expected more flavor from the fried rice and egg flower soup. The orange chicken... I expected a little more flavor and crunch. Their green beans tasted just ok to me as opposed to other Chinese spots. For the price I paid, it wasn't bad and it was worth trying at least once. Maybe I needed to just order, sit down and have their food freshly made there???? But I can't because their seating area is so small. I mean, I STILL want to try their walnut shrimp, so I'm most likely going to give them another try!!! I wish Yelp can have me pick a 3 & 1/2 stars... because that's what I give this place. Older and folks in general who are trying to watch their salt intake will probably love this place more because it's possibly the least saltiest Chinese food I've ever tasted. So if you're trying to watch your salt consumption, then I highly recommend Mandarin Kitchen. Other than that, this place is trying at least once or twice....; but hey, to each their own!

Broccoli Beef
Lawrence H.

I got the combination chow mein and beef broccoli. Both items were very good. The broccoli was fresh and the amount of beef was amazing. It's a small place, so while waiting for my food I could see the chef cook - which was really cool to watch. Service was courteous and the service was really fast. I'll be back to try some new items.

The chow fun was absolutely amazing. However, the portion was a little small for me. Expect to spend $8ish.

New ownership of the business?

This is the best Chinese food around. Why is it closed? It's been like this for well over a month.

They reopened Monday Aug 16, 2021. I was there today and they said their hours are 11:00am-9:00pm seven days a week.

Does anyone know why they are closed, it's been at least a week now?

Not exactly sure why they closed for that time, I recognize the chefs...but I'm just glad they're open again. You can't get this type of Chinese food at the prices they offer anywhere else! Good food, affordable prices...as far as my experience;… 

Do you use msg in your food?

No. Their menu has an MSG symbol with a big line through it. (That being said, I like MSG and don't know if they will add it upon request.)

Do you cater? Bigger trays for about 4-8 people

Yes they do

It looked like they had a patio area but I didn't see anyone sitting outside. The staff were welcoming upon walking in the door and were attentive. The menu is fully mobile and it's self order through your phone. They bring out your food as soon as it is ready and hot. We ordered a variety of different food. We got the cucumber salad, pan-fried string beans, honey walnut shrimp, seafood udon, shrimp fried rice, shrimp egg rolls, pork xiao long bao (soup dumplings), spicy Mala har-gow, chili oil pork and shrimp wontons and panda custard buns. My favorites were the soup dumplings, honey walnut shrimp, pork & shrimp wontons, shrimp fried rice and the panda custard buns! The egg rolls didn't have much taste. The mala har-gow had a funky inky taste which I didn't personally like. The green beans were good but I felt they could have had more flavor. **The portion sizes are bigger than most dim sum places! There is plenty of free parking around the restaurant. The only disappointing part was I wanted the classic dim sum experience when they come around with the carts which they don't do. However it's difficult to find those nowadays. Overall I'd definitely come back here! The price is very good for the portion sizes you get so it's worth it.

He was so kind and sweet to my 1-year-old daughter and even gifted her two new toys to play with while we enjoyed our meal. As a parent, it means so much when someone shows that kind of thoughtfulness and kindness toward your child. It really made our visit extra special. Thank you so much, Louis!

I would definitely come here to get your Dim Sum fix. Dont forget to order some of the lunch specials as well.
