Looks a little intimidating when you walk in. Seems like a "locals only spot but the waitress speaks english. Authentic Chinese food. My favorite so far is the orange chicken and egg flower soup. Vegetable delight is good but a little greasy. read more

My mom likes this restaurant so I decided to try it with her for lunch. The interior looks very worn out. We got the sweet and sour pork, roast pork with veggies and stir fried green beans. Around $12 for each item. I have to say the food here is pretty good. They are all freshly made and flavorful. Service is attentive. I will definitely come back again to try their other menu items. read more

We love the roasted duck here. We order it to go wherever we need some meat dish at home.

We placed a order to go consisting of Peking Duck with 16 buns, house special chow mein, won ton soup, medallion tofu, sautéed string beans, spicy eggplant and vegetables, beef with garlic sauce, yang chow fried rice, and Char Siu for our family gathering at home. Not our first time here, all the dishes were delightful which is why we are repeat customers. read more

My family has eaten at NCC many times. However, today I finally remembered to take some pictures. I ordered the spring rolls, beef chow fun and fish filets w/tofu in black bean sauce. The spring rolls were crispy with a veggie filling. Great wok hei on the BCF. Solid black bean flavor on the fish tofu dish. Service was very friendly and prompt. read more

A great local spot for yummy food. I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints! Some of my favorite items to get are the roasted duck, honey walnut shrimp, and braised tofu with vegetables. Service is average for a Chinese restaurant, nothing to complain about. I always recommend this place to friends who want quick Chinese food, and they enjoy it as well. read more

The service was great, the food was basic - not a bad or good thing. Probably wouldn't come again. We ordered a couple of things but Nothing stood out. read more

I got one of their General Tso's Chicken lunch special and it fell below my expectations. My chicken tasted like fish, and my food came with random food parts of other dishes like pieces of chow mein. Not sure if I'd recommend this place, though I'm hopeful that some improvements in this restaurant can definitely make a difference in being something amazing! read more

Very impressive old school Cantonese-style Chinese hole in the wall restaurant! Went for first time a little while ago and liked it enough but when I returned months later they blew me away! The duck actually has crispy skin if you order either the roasted version and also (of course) Peking style. It was juicy and tender, much better than so many places I have been in decades of eating Chinese food! Peking duck we ordered came with the actual meat not just the skins. Very abundant and juicy. Meat fell off the bone for the drumstick! They also have Hong Kong style crispy noodles and they do it just right! Don't over fry the noodles and it's not too oily. Loads of gravy. The pork version comes with a ton of bean sprouts (yum) which reminds me of tri-shred liang mian huang! Also the rice was perfectly cooked--not too moist, nicely chewy. Not sticky. Very abundant. In fact all our portions were very generous on our recent visit!! I previously had visited where portions were much smaller so I'm happy that they've improved things since. read more

Super authentic Chinese place (menu on the walk is in Chinese). Amazing duck and bbq pork. Friendly staff

This is a small, mom and pop shop that's definitely a locals only spot. They're always so quick with bringing out my order and is a solid spot for Chinese food! I like how their food doesn't taste overly heavy or greasy and haven't had a dish I didn't like. I definitely recommend their peking duck! It's occasionally sold out by the time I get there so call ahead and ask. read more

I only did a take out of their hot and sour soup. It was absolutely delicious. Will definitely come back to try other items

Ordered orange beef and chicken with garlic sauce for lunch special. Oh my gosh yum! Lunch special starts at 11.25 per person. A no frills, delicious Chinese food place. read more

I stopped by to pick up lunch after getting a haircut next door as I was craving Chinese food. I ordered the mabo tofu lunch special to go and it was delicious and hit the spot! The tofu had a very kick to it only- I wish I was spicier but it was flavorful so I was satisfied. The portion size was quite large for a lunch special as well. The mabo tofu came with rice. I'd come back again to try their other dishes. It was quite busy during lunch hour as well - I stopped by around noon. Also the price was very reasonable- I think I paid around $12 including tax! read more

I ordered half duck yesterday because I had guests coming for dinner. When I opened the box, I was surprised to see the duck looked black. The result of repeated heating. It tasted so dry, so disappointing. Will never go there again. read more

Went to pick up a whole roast duck to go, many, many years ago, recommended by a friend. This is a very small restaurant, nothing fancy, no decor , but that's not important. The roast duck was good, so I thought to return and try out their other dishes! It was a busy evening for the restaurant, and there was just one waitress. I was in no hurry, we waited for a while for the waitress to clear a few tables , for all their waiting guests to sit down. We had the Sour and spicy soup, roast duck ( just an appetizer size) , wonton soup noodles and a special dish on their board, the 竹笙玉子豆腐, a tofu dish. The orders came rather quickly. Considering there was a table with 10 guests , another with 6 guests, 2 other tables of 2-3 guests. I give credit to the chef in the kitchen for sending every table their orders without long delays. The lone Waitress ,also working hard to retrieve empty dishes from each table, after sending each table their orders. read more

We've been going to Nice China Cafe for years and hav enjoyed the taste of the food. Recently however when I visited with my daughter we noticed that the lunch special is not as good in value as before. The lunch special just comes with a small scoop of rice and small portion of the entree and nothing else. There is no soup or egg roll which is typically found in other places serving lunch specials. read more

Super tasty home cooking. Really liked the special tofu with bamboo & boo choy, soy sauce chicken, beef with orange peel. Service very good. Ambiance is very simple. read more

The roast duck, soy sauce chicken and roast pork are all very good. I like that they don't use msg here which is rare. I always come with a friend who knows what to order. They have good lunch specials as well. read more

Tried this place for a first time a few weeks ago- When I first walked in I was a bit apprehensive- everything looked old and the chairs were a bit uncomfortable, however everything looked clean. We ordered several dishes and everything was prepared perfectly. Seasoned perfectly- ample portions- reasonable prices- great service.. Give them a try- I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

A hidden gem of southbay! Where Nice China lacks in ambiance, it makes up for in delicious authentic Chinese/cantonese food! I've dined in and ordered take out many times before and every meal has been delicious! Some of our go to: Soy sauce chicken Mince pork soup Tofu with fish black bean sauce Bbq duck Pumpkin with spareribs (special order) Lobster stir fry with garlic (special order) read more

I recently got Peking Duck to go. I may be wrong but shouldn't Peking Duck be crispy? This wasn't. It seemed as if it was reheated from the day before. We got two packets of hoisin sauce and 6 sweet buns and not nearly enough green onions for four hungry people. Perhaps if I order it on a weekend it would have been better read more

I've been hearing a lot about their Peking and roast duck, so finally decided to pull the trigger. Their roast duck is excellent, as many reviewers attest to. I've had Peking duck in many places over the years, including China, and this was certainly in the top 3. The people there were extremely nice as well. i'll be returning for sure! read more

We love the sweet and sour pork and the Beef Chow Fun as well. Excellent taste and well prepared. Decor is plain and service minimal. read more

Returning back to Nice China Cafe after a while... It was amazing! Cantonese comfort food!! We came on Chinese New Year Day, so we reserved Lobster, Roasted Duck, and their Signature Pumpkin Pork Ribs Dish. All of these plus the Almond Tang Yuan Dessert need to be reserved in advance. All of their dishes were amazing! Lobster was fresh and perfect. Roasted Duck was crispy. Everything was at its perfect flavor. Their Signature Pumpkin Pork Ribs Dish was fun and served in a pumpkin, so you get to scoop the pumpkin meat from the pumpkin itself! I just came here 3 weeks ago, and I am already returning back again tomorrow! Casual ambience. Free parking in lot. They do not accept American Express. read more

Non-descript Chinese restaurant on the outskirts of a shopping center. Easy parking. We went late at night near closing and they had run out of roast duck. Boo. Service was fine. read more

They are famous for their roast duck! Not really particularly fond of cooked duck in general. However, when roast duck is serve hot, its crunchies and juicy can be tastedully appreciated. Do not forget their other dishes too! Space have few seats that are convenient only for few customers for lunch and dinner. The owner chef is busy preparing the orders while a staff caters to much of everybody's needs. read more

Nice China Cafe is amazing!! It's absolutely Cantonese comfort food. Some waitresses speak Cantonese and some speak Mandarin. My go to orders are the sesame beef, shrimp with scrambled egg, and tofu with fish fillet and black bean sauce. The orders come with rice and tea. The service is very quick. They also do takeout orders. There's a parking lot with plenty of space. It is your typical Chinese restaurant with small decorations and they have regular tables and round lazy Susan tables for bigger parties. Absolutely recommend coming here!! read more

Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck duck...............! Did I mention they serve duck? Best, cheapest, duck, probably in all of Los Angeles County! I feel nervous, even posting this, because I feel like it's my dirty little secret! Also, everything else you get here is legit, authentic Cantonese cuisine. Yeah, the place is a hole in the wall end it's about as bare-bones as you can get in terms of ambience, but they deliver, where they're supposed to, rockin, great, authentic Cantonese food! Did I mention they also serve duck? read more

Always have the most amazing roast duck here. IMO better than anywhere else including the SGV 626 area, but don't expect a real large duck, but just the tastiest duck. Most times sold out so you may need to call ahead. read more

The BEST whor wonton soup I've had in the South Bay (forget the noodle just get the soup to-go). Picture the chicken soup from Souplantation and add wontons, veggie & chicken, and there you have it -- I should have ordered a large. BBQ meats are still no bueno, don't even think about it. Might go back for their house specials (written in Chinese on the wall...like 'turnip & braised beef', 'water-boiled fish', etc.) read more

Absolutely the worst, dirtiest place I've ever seen. Terrible service, horrendous interior. Portion are infant sizes and they don't even have soy sauce. I've never seen a Chinese restaurant that does not have soy sauce until this place. Don't ever go here unless you want guaranteed hep B and C with your food. Disgusting! read more

Three stars for the food quality, two stars for lack of preparedness. We waited over an hour for a some dishes we ordered over the phone hours earlier in the day. This restaurant needs to hire another cook or otherwise be able to handle rush times. Also it seems the chef takes off the menu requests from certain customers. read more

Great Chinese food in the South Bay! Nice Cafe is a small eatery located in Rolling Hills Plaza. Lunch specials are good, but the best dishes are the ones you have to reserve ahead of time. The whole garlic shrimp comes with the heads to suck on and a ton of garlic on the shrimp meat. The roasted pork cheek is so juicy and probably the best version of chasiu I've had in a while. The shrimp stuffed chicken is crispy and flavorful. The pork ribs with pumpkin is amazing! The winter melon soup is very warm and comforting. Definitely try it out if you're in the area! read more
