3.8/5 I've been here 3 times, and most of what I've ordered has tasted pretty good. The portions are big, the food comes out quickly, and the service is great. If you don't eat spicy food, just let them know to make it less spicy or mild. read more

Spicy Chinese Kitchen is a new hidden gem in Torrance! This spot just opened up in a small plaza at the border of Torrance and Harbor City. It still has the name of the previous restaurant that was there but they have a large red banner that says "Spicy Chinese Kitchen. Grand Opening." Though relatively new I could definitely tell when I visited that this spot is gaining popularity quickly! By the time I left, this small spot had every table filled. I was impressed right from the start. They have a great lunch special that starts at $10.99. Each meal is kicked off here with complimentary peanuts and pickled vegetables and lunch special includes soup and white rice. They've got a great selection of entrees. My friend and I ended up getting Cashew Nut Chicken and Chicken with Green Onion. Both dishes were flavorful and tasty. Portion sizes were huge too and I had plenty of leftovers. I really like this new spot. They've got delicious and affordable food and I am looking forward to coming back. read more

Ordered the stir fried green beans, vegetable chow mein, general tso's chicken, and kung pao beef. Portions were very large. Food was super flavorful and very spicy, so be warned! Really good food, but takeout took 25 minutes longer than quoted to be ready, so dropping to 4 stars. Will give them another try. read more

Saw this new place and decided to give it a try on my daily walk, the food was really good I'll be coming back often to try out more of the menu items. Service was great and the place is really clean. Their lemon tea is very good, they have a huge drink selection so I'll be trying it all out as time goes read more

Hidden gem in the Torrance area and the dishes are authentic. Love the Chengdu style roasted duck and it's was a big portion. I was ordered the shredded eel and it tasted so good.

Got the Broccoli Beef ($16.90) and Mixed Fried Rice ($15.90). Both dishes tasted really good. Very fresh ingredients. They really pack the food into the containers. Also, you can taste the Wok Hei flavor. The indoor seating can probably accommodate 15 - 20 people. SCK is located in a strip mall that has Del Taco and El Pollo Loco. Service was very friendly. read more

Went for lunch specials on a weekend and this is a full level leap up in regional Chinese food for the area! Reasonably priced and very spicy (be careful if you aren't used to southern Chinese food!). My mouth was still stinging well after the meal for the delicious hunan chicken with decent wok hei. The mustard shrimp was tasty, crispy and creamy. The San di xian (eggplant / green pepper / potato) was wonderful. The tea drinks were also good with fresh fruit in the fruit tea, and an extra good deal as a combo with the lunch specials. Bonus rural Chinese life videos were playing on the TV as we waited for our food. Service was prompt and friendly and she spoke good English. We would've eaten there if they had outdoor seating but we went to a park nearby with our takeout and that was great too. We'll have to go back to try more Hunanese (and chongqing) specialties and fried tea snacks read more

Everything was so good . Been here 5-6 times and every time was delicious and consistent . This place is called spicy Chinese kitchen, so some of the dishes are spicy . If you cant handle it , let them know before you order ..they will adjust the spice level for you . Don't be like some a$$hole who give this amazing place 1 star just because they can't handle their spicy stuff . Definitely give this place a try .. staff , food are all amazing. Hope they don't ever change the chef. This place definitely deserves more than five stars. read more

I had called the day before asking if I could come in to place a large order for the next day. I gave them the time, for dinner. They said yes. So I come in on Friday, @ 2:45 pm to place the order. I walk in, the door is wide open, and the whole staff, about 5 people are sitting in the dining room eating. A girl looks at me and says, " Sorry, we are closed". Other staff give me dirty looks, like "leave". So I said, oh, ok, sorry, and walked out. Very rude, and if you are closed, maybe shut the door? Never again, you lost out on a huge order for 25 people. I guess you don't need the business. So I went across the street to another restaurant instead. read more

The restaurant is located in a strip mall but with tough parking at time. In parking is tight so beware. The staff was friendly. Our order was to go so it was quick. The restaurant decor was nice but take out kinda vibe but people were eating there. The food was really good. We got a mix of 4-5 dishes and all was really good. The spicy part was there but could have been spicier. Overall we enjoyed the food and will be back. read more

Unassuming from the outside, this spot bursts with authentic Sichuan flavors the moment you walk in. The aroma of chili and peppercorn sets the tone for a bold, satisfying meal. From crispy Chongqing chili chicken to silky spicy boiled beef in a tongue numbing mala broth, every dish delivers depth and heat. The stir-fried rice noodles are generously loaded and seriously spicy, while the salt and pepper wings are perfectly crisp and juicy. A true hidden gem near Torrance for anyone craving real deal Chinese spice. read more

So happy to have something like this on the west side--no more driving to SGV every weekend The food is legit, portions are generous, and prices are actually pretty reasonable. They just added crawfish (yes, crawfish in LA!)--$28 for 2 lbs and $57.9 for 5 lbs, which is a great deal. Some highlights for me: * Hunan-style stir-fried chicken - easily one of the best I've had in LA. Super flavorful, tangy + spicy, and lots of meat. * Grilled fish - very rich and loaded. Comes with tons of sides (tofu puffs, veggies, glass noodles) plus fish balls and spam, which is a nice surprise. * Hunan rice noodles - not too oily, very balanced, and packed with toppings (shrimp, pork, beef, egg). Portion is HUGE--def enough for 3-4 people for ~$18. Their stir-fry dishes are also well priced (~$20-26) and portions are solid Honestly feels like better value than a lot of SGV spots. They also have roast duck (huge portion, a bit salty for me) and milk tea , which is perfect if you need something to cool down--the food here definitely leans spicy It was already pretty busy when I went, with a short wait and lots of pickup orders. Feels like this place is going to get popular soon Overall, really happy to finally have a go-to Hunan spot on the west side read more

The restaurant was pretty busy when we walked in, which was a good sign. We ordered the Mao Kao Duck, Peppercorn Fish Fillet, and Stir-fried Beef with Chili Peppers. The duck came in a big pot and was very flavorful with a nice level of spice. The fish was tender with a great green peppercorn aroma, and the beef had strong wok flavor and went perfectly with rice. Overall a small, casual spot but the food was really solid. Would definitely come back when craving spicy Chinese food. read more

Table for two, we ordered the Chongqing Style Spicy Chicken and Sichuan Pepper Black Fish Fillet. Portions were huge and they didn't hold back on the spice at all! I've been to many Sichuan restaurants in Socal and have ordered the chicken dish at each one, and these were for sure the spiciest and numbing of them all (while still being extremely flavorful and delicious). I highly recommend this place if you've been craving actual mala food. The rice was included with the dishes. The server was also nice and attentive, refilling our water frequently. Because they recently opened, they also offered free dessert or discount specials. We got sesame balls which were also yummy. We definitely want to come back and try more dishes! read more

Everything was made fresh to order, and you can really taste the difference. The wok hei was strong, and every dish came out hot and flavorful. The hot stir-fried beef was super tender, and the hot stir fried double was a must try. Even the non-spicy options were well balanced and not bland,kids love them. If you love bold, freshly cooked Hunan food with real heat, this spot is worth checking out. Will definitely be back. read more

While there weren't many customers, it took them too long (~35 min) to make one order of fried noodle that lacked flavor. The server wasn't quite kind and handed me incorrect amount of change-- not even close -- without any explanation. read more

I really like spicy food. So the other night I ordered their house Beef Stir-Fry - wow, that was spicy. Super extra spicy. Like mean prank by your older brother kind of spicy. Too much. Also ordered spring rolls, which were overcooked. The shells were hardened instead of lightly crispy and the veggies inside were uniformly bland mush. So if you are forever looking for food thats more spicy, go for it. Have fun. Otherwise, maybe avoid the beef stir-fry. Or just avoid this restaurant, that's what I'm doing. read more

I ordered for delivery without expecting much, but I was thoroughly impressed with their food! I got egg fried rice, lemon chicken, hot & sour soup, and lemon black tea. It was a big portion and was enough to feed 3-4 people! Not only that, but the food was really tasty and authentic Chinese. Lemon black tea is reminiscent of the HK style lemon tea from cha chaan teng's, which is very rare in the South Bay area lol. Having said that, I believe I also found my new boba place! They also have a large selection of snacks (popcorn chicken, fried mantou, golden durian rolls, etc) and the drinks as well! I'm definitely ordering again next time, because there are many more items that I really want to try from their menu! Also, a huge plus is that I probably wouldn't need to make the long trek to SGV for a while :) read more

Authentic Hunanese in the South Bay (only spot that is authentic Hunanese outside of the SGV) with a decent selection of non-spicy food for people who can't tolerate 麻辣/mala fire.

Spicy Chinese Kitchen completely exceeded my expectations. The flavors are authentic, vibrant, and clearly made with care. We tried the weekend lunch specials and were impressed by both the quality and the value. If you enjoy real spice, this place delivers -- but everything is balanced and deeply flavorful, not just heat for the sake of heat. The restaurant is clean and modern, service is friendly, and the food comes out quickly. So glad to have this level of regional Chinese cuisine in the area! read more
