Fish fillet with Tofu. Spicy!
Maria F.

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!

Spicy Braised Beef and Tendon Noodle Soup (Extra Spicy) - Still the best in South Bay!!
Chow-time W.

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!!

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.

Inside of the restaurant. Tables have been updated with a sticker to look newer.

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!!

Chinese Burrito

Great Taiwanese Beef Noodles and Chinese Burrito! Highly recommend ! Very authentic and legit.

Rice noodles with bugs!
Tony F.

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!

Why would a worker put their stinky sneakers where food container lids are? Disgusting!
Allie T.

Over salted on from beef noodle soup to all the side dishes. Horrible. What and why? The only guess it's preservatives to keep food from spoiling.

Chives and pork dumpling with the vinegar, it makes a big difference
Jennifer N.

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.

New menu

Authentic Chinese food. Always hits the spot! Service is fast and friendly. Ambience is pleasant and relaxing.

I went in a year ago, but no employee spoke English. Has that changed?

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.

Overall Experience (8/10) - This is a decent Chinese food place in the South Bay/Torrance area…read more 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.

Several of my friends said they Seafood Town had changed ownership and were cautious of the food…read moretaste and quality. I dropped in to pick up some lunch and was AMAZED!!! I ordered the pork and garlic sauce lunch special. It was only $15 with tax. When the owner handed it to me, I was shocked to learn of the quantity of food. It was a lot of food. No skimping here! The dish was absolutely delicious! Just as good as the prior owners - probably even better tasting food with the new owners! I saw the old servers - which was great they everyone kept their jobs! I continue to be a huge fan of this place! Absolutely delicious food, nice quantity, authentic tastes, and super friendly new owners!

Pros: 1) Free soup, hot tea, white rice, and sago dessert…read more 2) Affordable lunch prices, good value for nice portion sizes - very popular during lunch special hours! 3) The salt and pepper pork chop dish was well made and nicely seasoned (if you're craving a deep fried food). Overheard several people ordering the fried chicken and fried salt and pepper shrimp, so maybe their deep fried foods are good. Cons: The Hong Kong Style Crispy noodles and Fish with Black Bean Sauce were a 2 out of 5: The flavors weren't really there, mostly a sugary "gravy" taste. Not bad tasting, perhaps similar taste profile to Panda Express but with less distinct flavors. Overall may be crowd pleaser dishes but if you're used to good Chinese food, you may be disappointed. Service was friendly but slow during lunch special hours on weekends; servers seemed overwhelmed by the crowds.

I have to tell you, since I moved from the Bay Area to Reno, I have been deprived of real Chinese…read morefood. Until I visited family and ate here. There was eight of us, and we ordered a lot of dishes to share. I'm gonna break them down, but I have to say that nothing we had was not top quality. I haven't had food like this in years. First was the Kung pow chicken. Wow, it was just a perfect blend of spice and the chicken was perfect. No gristle. And that is the theme of this entire meal. I hate gristle, this Kung pow was sublime. Sweet-and-sour pork. I basically given up on this dish because no one gets it right, and it's always an excuse to hide gristle and fat. Not in this case. It was super tasty and for the first time I can remember there wasn't 1 ounce of gristle in this meat. It was just crispy tasty wonderful. Hong Kong style chow mein with pork. Another dish I haven't had in years, and this place nailed it. Reminded me of my old China house restaurant in Alameda. I mean it was really good. The pork was awesome, the gravy was perfect. What a great dish. The fried rice was excellent. Not greasy at all. I believe we got a combination fried rice and man was it good. Shrimp with lobster sauce. This was excellent, God this dinner was just so great, and this dish was right in there with the rest of them. I can't wait to go visit family again so I can eat at this place. It was spectacular. Oh and the last thing, the hot and sour soup was amazing. Again haven't had this type of food since I left the Bay Area. I give this meal a triple wow!!!
