Overall Experience (8/10) - This is a decent Chinese food place in the South Bay/Torrance area. There are not many good Chinese places in the area. From many of the Chinese food places that I have tried in the Torrance area, this is one of my favorites. The food has a good flavor, and it is not as salty. It is in a small plaza that has decent parking spots. The dining room is quite large and has many small tables for smaller parties and many big tables for large gatherings and groups for parties. Food - The food was pretty good compared to all the other Chinese places in the Torrance area. It has a good balance of flavors and is not as salty as the other Chinese restaurants in the area. The prices are reasonable if they are lunch special prices. The dinner prices can be a bit pricier. The tangerine chicken and the sesame chicken both had great flavors, but could be a bit crunchier, though. The duck was decent in flavor, but the portion was a bit small. The other dishes that we ordered were all very good too. Overall - I would return to get more Chinese food here because the prices are reasonable and not too bad. The service was good, and the staff were wonderful in trying to help us order the food if we had questions.
Go for the lunch specials during the week. For the price of a happy meal, you get real food (soup, tea , entree w a bowl of rice and dessert ) Great service And this is old school Cantonese restaurant! Super awesome and usually filled with little old Chinese ladies chatting away. Love it
One of the remaining Chinese Food restaurants where you take your family for lunch or dinner... I almost forgot the place, but I been coming here for the last 25 years and time comes and goes and I'm always back. Actually my son got me here then when he was in high school at South High... i came for lunch today and have my regular sweet and sower soup and my usual Filet of wish with Black Bean Sauce, I can try many other delicious plates, but I come here for that always.. clean Chinese service... the dinner room always well lighted. The carpet clean . I like it you should try it once...
Had the following dishes. The best were the green beans and chow fun. We had it cooked without meat but still tasted great. Overall the gif tasted better there. Everyone liked the hot and sour soup and the dessert. Service and food came out quick. We had a lot of leftover food which they packed up for us. Sadly, they forgot the white rice though. If it were closer, might try again. 1. Eggplant 2. Pan fried green beans 3. Fried pork chop 4. Peking pork chop 5. Deep fried shrimp 6. Beef chow fun with egg added 7. Steamed fish
Great lunch specials great service can't get crowded at lunchtime during the specials small parking lot so make plans to get here early or late. Avoid the rush-hour worth the money worth the weight.
Back at it again with the lunch special!! We just wanted some casual good Chinese food. We sat down very quickly as it wasn't super crowded on a weekday. They handed us the lunch special menu and the regular menu. I felt like the lunch menu was so expansive with many options and reasonable prices that I didn't even feel the need to look at the regular menu. What we got: - hot and sour soup (they also had egg flower soup) - white rice and fried rice - roast duck - walnut shrimp (with Mayo sauce on the side) - fish fillet with corn sauce - dessert: red bean soup They also gave us some tea. I was really hungry and the food came out pretty quickly and hot. I felt like the waiters were very attentive to us - making sure we had our sauces, noting what soups, rice, and desserts we wanted without missing a beat! My favorites were the fish fillet and the walnut shrimp while my partner's favorite was the roast duck. Honestly with such a large menu, you really can't go wrong. Everything tastes pretty yummy. They have plenty of smaller tables as well as large table for groups.
The place is mediocre, they have fresh seafood but the actual seafood does not taste as good.The service is average.Finally, it is mainly quiet.What I recommend is their Peking duck, which is great!
Nice place to enjoy Chinese food with family members and loved ones. Have been here a few times and so far so good. My only suggestion is ensure not to dine close to their closing time. Otherwise, you maybe short-changed in services and "rushed" in dish delivery, which is susceptible to compromising quality.
This is our local go to spot for chinese food. We've been coming here for over 20years which shows how longstanding this place is. The food quality has improved over time with better cooks. The waitresses have become friends who recognize and greet us happily. This place is one of the few places in the area with good chinese food. We like getting the chilled chicken, spinach, string beans, the tofu seafood pork pot, steamed white fish. We always have a great time and the food doesnt take too long to come out. The restaurant has been a hot spot too theres always a number of parties in cue for a table at night especially on weekends. The parking lot has a decent amount of spots. It's on a hill so be careful if you have a low car because it has a steep dip on one of the entrances. If you have a large party and trying to come during a holiday, I recommend calling ahead of time and make a reservation or you could be stuck waiting for some time.
wasnt aware that the pork fried rice included a complimentary bug. sadly i didnt see it until i was going to serve my toddler some. absolutely disgusting. edit:i brought it back in and they acted like it was a normal occurrence, then one of the waiters tried saying i put it in there myself. like why would i ruin my family's lunch. they did replace it at the end though.
Seashore has been the Go To Chinese restaurant in the South Bay for decades. Even though the ownerships have changed, the décor has faded, and the fresh fish tank is semi empty, somehow the food taste has remain the same. The servers are professional and dishes are prepared and served pretty fast. Our favorite dishes are the pork spare ribs, seafood fried noodle and seafood tofu. Their lunch special is still worth our monthly visit, plus nothing can go wrong with its complementary spicy & sour/ egg soups and the red bean/almond jelly dessert.
I have been here couple times for lunch. Prices are reasonable. $15 to $17 It comes with soup, entree, rice and red bean soup dessert. Their lunch menu offers a good selection of choices. We got the fried fish, fish with veggies and a meat combo with veggies to try. The portion is generous. Food was delicious and fresh. Friendly service. Clean restrooms. They do get busy during lunch. Short wait for a table. Easy parking. Definitely recommend this place to others to try. read more
The avg entree is now $20-25 in the year 2025. I ordered Char Siu Chow Mein and Fried Pork Chop entrees that amounted to about $50 after tax and tip. Back in the 1990's that would be maybe $20 and in the Y2K maybe $25-30... it's a sign of the times and general inflation. The service is friendly, the portions are good as well as the food quality.

This is one of the few Chinese restaurants open on Monday in the Southbay, so I found myself here recently, because my usual spot was closed and I wanted to get some Cantonese style food for dinner. The dining room inside, plates and set up, are comforting, reminding me of old school Chinese restaurants I grew up going to around LA. Service was friendly and attentive. Portion sizes were large, and excellent, which was great because the prices are slightly higher than other local Chinese restaurants. The Hong Kong style crispy noodles had a weird burnt flavor; other than that, I really like the taste of all the dishes we got. I will definitely return, but would order the crispy noodles with white sauce instead of brown next time. Easy parking in a small private strip mall lot immediately outside the restaurant. Located next to nothing Bundt cakes. read more
Ambiance: old fashioned Cantonese restaurant, small and packed inside, tables are set up so close, almost sit back to back with others Service: very fast though not so patient, the plates were gross and oily, not cleaned thoroughly Food: numerous items on the menu, big emphasis on seafood, complimentary desserts Imperial Peking Duck with Steamed Buns - *** not authentic but accessible quality Kung-Pao Three Ingredients - **** shrimp, chicken and beef, rich in flavors, recommend Assorted Seafood Bean Curd in Hot Pot - *** scallop, fish fillet, shrimp, squid and imitation crab, good tasty, tofu wasn't fresh Price: generous portions and decent prices, expect about $40 per person read more

Arrived at noon on a Saturday with a couple friends for lunch. We were seated immediately and the restaurant about half full quickly filled up. The staff was very prompt with taking our order. They gave complimentary tea but had no drink menu, our waiter offered coke and sprite but apparently they have beer as well if you ask. We ordered many items from their lunch specials which essentially meant the food was still a regular family sized serving but you also got rice and soup as well. They forgot two of our items and since the receipt was not in English we had no way to tell if we were actually charged or not. The items we did receive were pretty good and we had enough left over for multiple meals which was great for the price. read more

I called to make a reservation for Father's Day. I asked for 12:30pm for 11 people. The gal on the phone heard 11am for 12 people. I repeated myself that I wanted 12:30pm for 11 people. She asked 11am for 12 people? I patiently restated 12:30pm for 11 people. I thought we were on the same page when she verbally confirmed 12:30pm for 11 people. So to my knowledge, all was good when we hung up. We showed up at the restaurant a bit before 12:30pm and guess what? They claimed that our reservation was for 11am and gave up on our ressie when we didn't show. Our table wasn't ready. #fail I will give the staff credit for scrambling to make space for us in the dining area. We honestly didn't have to wait very long. Yes, it was a bit cramped as I took the seat squished up against the hostess stand but I've been slimming down this year so I was willing to take this undesired seat. There were moments when their business phone rang and I was tempted to answer it...lol! Though my family ordered a bunch of stuff that I didn't eat, here's what we ordered that I did eat: - Pan Fried String Beans https://bit.ly/44Xoy1v - Black Mushroom with Asparagus https://bit.ly/3K79MgE - Bean Curd with Brown Sauce https://bit.ly/44ANKv6 - Ong Choy https://bit.ly/3DnfG9M - Soy Sauce Chow Fun https://bit.ly/3KbxPej Overall, good food. Would I go out of my way for this place? Probably not. But I think the rest of my fam would feel differently. In fact, the reason we picked this restaurant was because my dad loves getting the duck here. Also, other than that ressie mishap, service was good. I'm also pretty impressed that a restaurant with a medium-sized dining area can accommodate large groups. read more

This is my go to Chinese restaurant in Torrance. I love so many things on their menu and so does my family. Main dishes I will call out are the ribs and their salty Hainan chicken. Their lobster and kong shing tsai (veggie) are also good too. Tip: they have special porridges, but I wanted plain porridge and something less expensive, they had plain and charged me $5 for a good sized portion. read more
Seashore Seafood Restaurant is located in a strip mall in Torrance. This is a perfect place to come with a group of people for dinner. I have and the food has always been excellent. There is a Chinese person in our group and we've always been happy with our choices. Lunch is a different thing. The quality of food is variable and service is spotty. All of the servers are Chinese and communication is usually difficult. The lunches come with soup, entree, rice, dessert and hot tea. I usually order the corn chowder, vegetables with tofu, white rice and almond pudding. The corn chowder was good, the tofu with vegetables was salty and oily, and the dessert was good. I recommend this place for dinner. read more

I had seen this place for the last few months, across CM from where I get my haircut..So my son and I finally went last night after the movies for Fathers Day..It's small intimate, and authentic..The prices were a bit more than a few others we've gone to, but the food was very good, so the extra $4/$5.00 per item wasn't a big deal..while this won't be my go to, it'll certainly be somewhere we go from time to time.. All n all it's a 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.. read more

This is our go-to chinese restaurant around RPV/Torrance/lomita area. Clean and friendly staff (well,some of them). the place can use some interior designing but then the food makes up for it. The food, pretty decent and reasonably priced. You get soup and dessert on your lunch special and I think even for dinner, unsure about that as we always come here for lunch. I do enjoy the roasted duck here. Cooked well and very flavorful. Big in portion and not cooked as oily as other chinese restaurants would do it. We did order the singapore noodles once, not ideal, other places will do better on it. We come here often, there's room to improve, however, for your basic craving needs, this will do. read more
I previously reviewed this place and really enjoyed it. I think I went into more depth/detail during the last review. The service is solid and the ambiance is like one of those old-school banquet style Chinese restaurants. The food is always consistent and really great. Presentation is always on point. I'm bumping up my score because this place has achieved a 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts' status among my family. This was my uncle's favorite restaurant. We had a family gathering recently to feast at his favorite restaurant in his honor, one year after he passed. I didn't do the ordering, so I wasn't really sure what the names of the dishes were on the menu. But I will say everything was so good and as usual with my family events, I ate way too much. Eating a bunch of food at my uncle's favorite restaurant is probably the most family like tribute to him that we can do. read more
