Good food and I think they deserve way more than 3.5 stars. Will come back. We tried the beef noodles, beef rice noodles and the small plates of meat. Loved all of these. read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - ordered a Chinese Style Beef Burrito (#27), Chinese Cold Dish 3 Items Meat (#38), and a Clear Broth Braised Tendon Noodle Soup (#2). The beef burrito was crispy on the edges and filled to the brim with beef. The cold dishes were marinated well but heavy on the cilantro for the seaweed salad. The beef tendon soup was great in flavor but slightly spicy even though we asked for a clear broth. Service: 5/5 - expect Chinese restaurant service that is quite to the point but quick Ambiance: 5/5 - small shop but the tables were clean Value for price: 5/5 - food was great, pricing is competitive, but they do round some of the pricing with tax. Their menu shrank but the main items are delicious, and we appreciate the focus on their main items instead. The quality is much better this time and we enjoyed all of the food. read more

A small, nondescript resto in a tired strip mall on Crenshaw, just north of Lomita. I was craving Chinese food and this was nearby. When we arrived, we were greeted by the proprietor. There were two other occupied tables occupied by old timers enjoying their lunch. We ordered to share: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup It was flavorful and not spicy for our palate. I wish it had tendon but we enjoyed it, nonetheless. Fish Fillet with Tofu This was SPICY! Loved it and would order this again. Onion pancakes Thin and crisp edges. Just as I like them! 3 cold dishes: cucumber, mustard greens and steamed peanuts. A great snack while we were waiting for the main event. You select the three items from the display. The greens were refreshing on this hot day in September. Hot Tea The tea was a typical tea you may get at any Chinese resto. As with those teas, it compliments and supports the food. We would visit this place again if we're in the area and it's lunch time. It's not a destination unless you happen to be craving something on their menu. I like these types of shops because once you order, the staff doesn't come around every 5 minutes to ask if you need anything. I was happy enjoying our food and having a Friday lunch break. Enjoy! read more

This is one of the OG beef noodle place in the South Bay, I've been going since the 90s. It changed hands a few times since then. It can be a hit or a miss in the recent years. Last I went, about a year or so ago, the price went up but portion gone way down, so I haven't been in a while. Went yesterday for an early dinner, the portion is still relatively smaller than way back in the days. But decent for $12, you can't beat that price in the neighborhood, I wish they offer a larger size at a higher price. And based on what I had last night, I dare to say they are still the best beef noodle place in the South Bay!! Always go with extra spicy!! Still loving it!! read more

Another visit to wonderful Sue's kitchen. The food was great as usual. Sad to see that the menu has shrunk a bit but all the heavy hitters I've been used to are still there. Definitely can't skip the beef noodle soup still but the beef scallion roll and tofu fish are also amazing. Never enough stomach space coming here. read more

This place puts its efforts into food, not ambiance or location. Do not be put off by its lackluster interior and strip mall location. We got takeout pork fried rice, Dan dan noodles, Choi gow soup dumplings, spicy beef soup dumplings, onion pancakes, sautéed cabbage, string beans with meat, and 2 orders of beef burritos. The highlight of the show was the delicious beef burrito. It was an onion pancake enveloping several thin tasty slices of beef. I would order just this for dinner it was so good. Service for takeout was fast and efficient. read more

Just as a heads up, you eat here for cheap, good Asian food. This is not the place for a nice, renovated, nor as clean of a place to hang out nor for stellar customer service. What you expect is cheap, great Asian food that's in the Torrance area. Also the chef barely speaks English so it'd be helpful if someone knows how to speak mandarin or barely get by. Amazing food, I love beef noodle soup & I got that tonight! I also ordered the green onion pancake & that was super yummy too. I will definitely come back, and brush up on some light Mandarin to order. read more

Sue's kitchen is a real hole in the wall. It's well known in the area for excellent Taiwanese food. It's tiny and appears to specialize in takeout. Easy parking in the strip mall. We ordered in person and the food was prepared for us in a timely fashion while we waited. We enjoyed our meal quite a bit and we would eat her again. read more

Same great quality food! Out of side dishes at 7PM tho, sadly. They close at 8PM now. Came to pick up a to go order. Their best item is the beef tendon noodle soup!! read more

Everything we tried so far is so good. Although, the owner sometimes inpatient, but he is not bad person. . Definitely will go back.

This restaurant has gone downhill. I've been coming here for years. The price keep escalating and increasing. Its not worth it

Zero stars, don't go! BUGS in food! (apologize in advance for the gross pictures and graphical description) We used to like this place a lot, it's the hole in the wall with the best noodles around. Food has always been tasty and service has always been lousy and getting even worse. In our last few visits, we have been very uncomfortable with the sticky table, it's just not very pleasant. Last night, we ate there and bought some rice noodles to go, since everything is light colored, black spots are much more noticeable, especially with the lighting at home, it turned out there were MANY bugs on the vegetables! Very very gross. We are not sure how much extra proteins we had from last night's dinner! We are never going back again! read more

This place should rename themselves Bland AF Restaurant! ... What happened to this place??! Sadness, this use to be my favorite beef noodle place spot for over 2 decades! Now everything we ordered taste so bland. I felt like drinking hot greasy spicy hot water as their used to be so flavorful soup. After a few owner changed, very disappointed and sorry to say won't be back. I've never eaten anywhere where I feel like money was completely down the drain. Well today I Just spent $50 down the drain. I rather eat McDonald's or Jack in the Crack. Everything is dirty AF too. Nothing is ever wiped down. The doors, the trays, the counter is so gross and filthy grime everywhere. read more

This place has amazing food infinity out of 10. I have noticed that most of the reviews are a bit out dated. Sues kitchen has gotten way better the ambiance feels more modern and clean. It is better is you speak mandarin. Come here if you want a cheap and delicious meal. read more

They have poor service, don't bother if you are white. I could go on but too pathetic to continue with what I thought. Never got a chance to taste food because all the asians arriving after us were a priority. No joke, no exaggeration. We were not welcome. I doubt we would have been served at all. read more

This place is very no-frills. People typically order to-go because the space is so small. The staff is very direct but they're also very nice. The food is phenomenal. This has been added to my list of go-to places for a quick bite that's also price friendly and amazing. read more

Amazing food! This is a hidden gem. This is my to go spot. I recommend the veggie chow mein. Or any of the items. This is the BEST FOOD EVER

So much has changed to Torrance but glad to see Sue's Kitchen lives on -- it's one of the few restaurants that I used to go to as a kid that's still around. (They used to feed be during my college years too.) Anyway, I came here late Christmas evening and had amazing food and service. My kid loved it! Thank you for continuing to be amazing read more

The place is turning more and more into a hole in the wall. Even though it was renovated a few years ago, lack of upkeep since the pandemic is starting to become really obvious. Inconsistency is how I'd describe the current Sue's Kitchen, especially in regards to the beef noodle soup. Some days it is awesome - broth has depth, not too oily, and the beef is tender. On bad days, it is overly oily (the way it is prepped), beef tough like rubber, and it's just... flat. Most of the time it's in between. Family and I still go back cause it's close by and it's always an easy meal. Their cold dishes is still a great value. Peanuts is straight up addicting! read more

DIRTY. Beware... BUGS! The previous ownership was excellent, but under the current ownership Sue's Kitchen has gone sooo downhill. It's so dirty in the front/customer area, I truly can't imagine what the kitchen/back looks like. Literally found FLIES in my soup. Yuck!! I almost threw up when I realized! Quality of food is not as good as before either. Really disappointing because the previous owners made this place a total gem. read more

Small and family-owned, Sue's Kitchen does possess a certain charm. The Chinese Burrito gets the job done - I do love a beef roll. I also tried Intestine with Brown Sauce because I was feeling brave. Not bad but not good either. This gamble did not pay off. I got Chicken Fried Rice as well, which was good. I love that it's so mom and pop, but some of this looked and tasted like it had been sitting under a warmer for a while. Prices are reasonable, and food is alright overall, but I do wish it tasted more freshly cooked. read more

Purpose of the visit was braised beef noodle soup. It did not disappoint. Right up there with my local favorites (Tasty Noodle House, and Din Tai Fung), and at roughly $9, a great value. Also at roughly $9, the beef roll ("chinese burrito") was lacking. Too small, not enough sauce or cilantro, and the beef was cold. This is an authentic Taiwanese restaurant and worth a try. No frills, but that is fine. Let the soup do the dazzling read more

I wanted so much to like this place. The pictures looked good and the prices looked good too. There were some bad reviews. I was very impressed when I opened the Styrofoam container. The food looked like a nice presentation. When I called in my order they were able to, take the order, barely, but that's not a problem. The chicken looks crispy on the picture and is certainly not crispy on the plate. In addition the meat is not free of grizzle or tendon and is not cut so that it cooks evenly some parts with some parts were super thick. Unfortunately, the thick part was very uncooked. Hopefully I don't have any issues. The taste was fine. Spices were fine side condiments were good. The rice was good. A couple running. The place seemed very nice and friendly. I will give it one more. Try if you speak Chinese, please tell these people That they can be very successful if they cook the food completely and make the fried foods crispy. The skin on the chicken was very rubbery because it just was not cooked enough. I will give it one more. Try someone someone please speak to them if I could, I would because I love to see people succeed. read more

Since there isn't an updated price list anywhere, I thought i'd mention how much I was charged. I ordered two beef noodle soup and it came out to $20 even (so $10 per bowl of beef noodle soup). I paid in cash. Sadly, the flavor was just okay (not phenomenal). It was very oily and there were only 4 small pieces of meat per bowl. It's a small hole in the wall place and there's only one person working there. I want to keep supporting this place, but I think they need to improve the quality and maybe add some more veggies and meat. read more

Sue's has always been a staple and I've been coming here for years. My family and I always order the cold dishes -- the tofu skin, spicy peanut, celery, and pig ear being some of the dishes we frequent. No matter what you order, it's packed with flavor while also maintaining the traditional Chinese flavors the dishes inquire. The jiajiangmian and pork and leek dumplings are also dishes that stand out here! read more

I love supporting small businesses like this one, but my first impression of them was not great. I called to pick up and order at 8pm on Friday, no answer. I figured they might be busy so I decide to head over. I look at the hours on Yelp and it says they're open until 9pm. Great! It's 7:45, and it'll take  me under 10 minutes to get there. I arrive, the "Open" sign is still on, and I see people eating inside. Great! I'm minutes away from chomping down on some delicious Chinese food is what I think. Excited, with a smile on my face, I approach the door and see their hours of operation are until 9pm! GREAT, I'm almost there! I open the door to the restaurant, confident in what I'm about to order having wrote it on my Notes app on my phone after carefully scrolling through all the available photos on Yelp and meticulously studying the menu in anticipation of satisfying a craving. All seems well at this point...but alas... Instead, I am welcomed by a man hunched over a cash register with his back to the door, who barely makes the effort to turn to acknowledge that someone entered his establishment, and looking rather annoyed, yells at me "CLOSED!" Yikes. Maybe that craving will have to wait another day...and with an establishment that actually wants customers. read more

This places serves the best authentic, cheap and flavorful Chinese food! The workers speak mostly Chinese and so do most of the customers. It's also located in a small strip mall, so you know it's authentic. The food is simple but full of flavor. I've been coming here since I was a little girl, and I come back every time I'm in town. Their Dan Dan Mian is a must, and I always get their chicken leg rice. It's super crispy and the gravy tastes so good. Their soups also warm the heart! It's very small and sometimes get busy. But don't worry, their takeout tastes just as good! read more

Sue's Kitchen is a hidden gem in Torrance for Taiwanese food. I love coming here when I'm craving a good beef noodle soup or a fried chicken leg with rice. They also have plenty of delicious side dishes in which you can choose up to three items per dish. // FOOD // Hot Braised Stew Beef Noodle Soup: Deliciousness. Fatty broth with chunks of tender beef, chewy noodles, and a few pieces of baby bok choy. It consistently tastes the same and the portion size is a good amount. 4.5/5 Pork Chop Rice/Fried Chicken Leg Rice: Pieces of either fried pork chop or fried chicken leg served with a tea boiled egg, rice and pickled veggies. I personally like the fried chicken leg rice more since the chicken is more tender than the pork chop. Both are fried and cooked to perfection though. 4/5 Wonton in Hot Chili Oil: Soft, tender wontons in a hot chili sauce that is absolutely delicious! A great appetizer to share and snack on before your entree comes out. 4/5 Side dishes: Spicy peanuts, smoked tongue, shredded pork ear w/ soy sauce, pickled veggies, and cucumbers. I enjoy all of them! One plate comes with your choice of up to three of these side dishes. Overall, I enjoy coming to Sue's Kitchen on almost a weekly basis. The food is delicious and the portion size is great. They have many other options on their menu, but I typically just stick with the beef noodle soup and the fried chicken leg rice. read more

My boyfriend has been such a loyal customer at Sue's for years and introduced me this place about a year ago. His go-to's are the cold appetizers that they offer, $5 for any 3 choices, which include his favorite: spicy pork ears, bean curd skin, and smashed cucumbers or celery. Appetizers usually have a fixed amount throughout the day, so many items may be sold out by the time they are almost closed! This place is so good, so home-y, and authentically Chinese. The spicy pork ears are my favorite because they're coated in a delicious Szechuan sauce. Today we ordered the beef noodle soup and it came in a huge, piping hot bowl that was enough for us to share. It was slightly oily but it made the flavorful broth coat the noodles so that each bite was tasty. I liked it so much that I mentioned I actually preferred it over Din Tai Fung's beef noodle soup. To make it better, it was only $7 for the bowl of soup and about $12 total for the whole bill. Definitely a hidden gem in Torrance. read more

I had this place bookmarked for a while and we were in the mood for beef noodle soup today. When we walked in, I saw another customer eating it and it looked so good that I decided that I wanted my own bowl. My husband ordered half and half (tendon and beef) and I ordered just beef. The first bite made his eyes water and nose run, but I was prepared and it didn't affect me. The beef was tender and the noodles plentiful. We couldn't believe each bowl was only $6.60. I also ordered won tons with chili oil after seeing pictures on Yelp. Those were good too. All of the customers were Chinese, which was a good sign that the place was going to be legit. There was also a glass case with cold dishes. We didn't get anything from there because we already had enough food. Parking spaces were pretty tight in this strip mall right off Crenshaw Blvd. We didn't have any issues with service, unlike some of the other reviewers. But then again, we were here for the food, not fine dining. read more
