Tasty Kitchen in Gardena absolutely delivered an incredible dining experience for our group! We came in with about 10 people, and they handled our large party seamlessly. The family-style setup was perfect--being able to share dishes made the whole meal feel communal, fun, and super satisfying. Every dish that came out was packed with flavor, and there were so many great options that everyone at the table found something they loved. Service was efficient and attentive, especially considering the size of our group, and the food came out at a great pace so we could enjoy everything together. If you're dining with a group and want a place with delicious food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere, Tasty Kitchen is definitely the move. Already looking forward to coming back and trying even more dishes! read more

Yay! Tasty Kitchen fills a void that existed in the area food-scene: solid Cantonese food. We drive down from Westchester when we don't want to drive all the way out to San Gabriel Valley. It's around a 45-minute RT for us, so it has to be good, right? Faves include: BBQ pork, shumai, beef in claypot, fried tofu & mushroom, Singapore noodles, salt & pepper squid (Chinese calimari), beef chow fun. Portions are ample and prices are reasonable (even when compared to SGV prices). Since getting a rec for Tasty Kitchen around a month ago, I've eaten here four times. Ample parking (it's located in the 99 Ranch Market shopping center) and the staff is friendly. I highly-recommend this place. Bon Appétit! read more

For dinner, I had decided to get a half order of Peking duck, and the greens with oyster sauce. I wanted to get green onion pancakes, but they were out. This was a take out order. I was told it would be ready in 45 minutes, and it was. Understandable as it takes time to make Peking duck with crispy skin. Upon arrival for my order, it was sad to see there were very few customers. I tipped them the 20%. Yes, you read right, 20% for my take out order because I support small businesses. Because of this, they gave me an order of hot and sour soup for free. When we had our meal, I accompanied it with my homemade Gandule rice (yes a cross cushion dinner). The duck was well cooked, not greasy, but lacked seasoning on its own. It needed help with the accompanying sauces and freshly sliced green onions, hence my four star review. It was the duck that I had very high hopes for. Next time I will try their duck noodle soup as this is my favorite. I hope they don't disappoint. I usually frequent HK BBQ in Riverside, but only went there while I was attending college. I now need to find a place that can recreate that experience. The duck came with a small bag of shrimp chips. We ate it with the steamed buns with hoisin sauce and sweet and sour sauce. The greens with oyster sauce were well cooked and flavorful. The hot and sour soup was delicious. Four stars, but I feel like giving them another try. read more

We came on a Saturday night and it was busy, but no wait for a table. The meal came with a complimentary soup for each person, typically it's a choice of hot and sour or egg drop soup. They were out of egg drop soup, so we all tried the hot and sour soup. It wasn't spicy, but very strong in pepper flavor. My favorite was the Salt and Pepper Squid, it was light, airy, and seasoned well. The BBQ Pork was a little dry, but I think that's because they use a leaner cut of meat. The Orange Beef was good, a little salty for my taste and got soggy towards the end of our meal. The fried rice was a good pairing for our protein dishes, very simple and straight forward. read more

We have been dining at Tasty Kitchen since my kids were babies. My oldest is almost 21 and my twins are now 15. Came back on 3/1/26 and realized how much we missed eating here. Right when we entered our old time friend who was the owner back in the day remembered us and immediately welcomed us back. She is the kindest person ever. They have the best lunch specials, prices are great and generous portions. We love their beef chow fun, fried flounder, salt and pepper pork chops, salt and pepper calamari, fried wings and everything we have ordered and tried is delicious. The place is clean and relaxing. Service is excellent! Love their hot and sour soup too. They're located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. Highly recommend for authentic Chinese cuisine. read more

My son told us to order menus that we didn't eat before - so we got sizzling beef with green onions, the black thick mushrooms and crispy pork skin cut from the bone with meat. Everything so delicious. You could see the counter full of to go order. Jackie our server was so helpful throughout plus Shirley the owner who treats us and all the customers like family. The place so clean too read more

Great portion sizes and good prices as well. They are friendly and fast service. We got a lot to share. BBQ pork fried rice 9/10, BQQ pork and duck 7/10, Salt and pepper squid, and 10/10 and orange peel beef 10/10. I really loved the crisp of the light and airy squid, with salty and chewy inside! The orange peel beef had a crunch and citrus flavor was on point. read more

Very busy at lunch on a Saturday. We were seated immediately, but service was really slow because there were only two servers. The lunch special is available daily and includes rice and soup--unless you get a noodle soup. I got the beef stew noodle soup, and it came with a lot of meat and tendons. So yummy and filling, and my toddler loved it, too! The mango pudding is really small, but it is very sweet and dense, so that portion was enough for dessert. read more

Tasty Kitchen is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants outside of San Gabriel Valley! They serve many of the Cantonese dishes I could possibly ever want - my comfort food. Prices lean mid-high, but their portions are extremely generous. One dish serves 4-6 portions easily if you are ordering other things. If you are just eating 1 dish, it's probably still enough for 2 portions! My go-to's: - Diced chicken and salty fish fried rice - one of my all-time favorites! They put in a perfect amount of salty fish. I get the flavor in every bite. - Beef chow fun - another classic dish, flavorful and perfectly "dry-fried" (the sauce is cooked into the noodles so there is no extra sauce served or needed) - Sauteed vegetables - they have different options; everything is great and I particularly love the pea leaves but they are seasonal I've honestly been happy with everything I've had here, including dishes from every category they offer. The service is great. The people are nice, polite and direct. They are efficient and communicative. The restaurant is very casual, no frills but clean. Perfect environment for comfort food for me! read more

I called and asked if they had lunch specials today (Saturday). The person who answered the phone sounded tentative and said they did, until around 3 pm, but that they may be out of some items. Husband and I stopped in around 2 pm and looked at lunch menu. I ordered beef noodle soup with won tons. Server said they didn't have won tons. So I asked for beef chow fun. She said they didn't have beef. She then said quietly that there would be new owners of the restaurant tomorrow. I ended up ordering shrimp chow fun and husband ordered fried flounder. Food was ok. I guess current owners were on their way out and didn't have many of the ingredients to support the menu. read more

Ordered Beef Stew Wonton noodle soup. Price - 20 dollars for beef stew with wonton soup is pricey . Wonton noodles or beef stew noodles qualify under lunch special pricing. Portions 5/5 Justified portions as they really give a lot of Bok Choy. Wontons 4/5 consisted of shrimp and pork Beef stew 3/5 asked served on the side to not affect broth . Temperature should be hotter as it felt like it was lightly reheated. Broth 1/5 Not sure if they forgot to put MSG but the soup was bland. Definitely needs some chicken stock. Adding chili oil couldn't save it sadly. Service 5/5 Host was nice and even asked if I wanted to pack the left over tendons I had not eaten. Overall, they do have a vast menu ,hopefully the owner can influence the chefs to make adjustments to their wonton soup broth. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I was CRAVING Chinese food but Wow. So expensive. First time coming here and it will be my last. I ordered a combination chow mein- where I asked if the combination chow mein was chicken, shrimp and beef. The lady at the counter said yes but when I opened the box at home it also included squid and fish- my kids weren't fans. I also go their sweet and sour chicken which was good and their wonton soup. I kid you not, for these 3 items... $62 I added white rice and it looked like about a cup and a half for $8 more... I understand that prices have gone up but the pricing here was beyond understandable. read more

Chinese delicacy in a "American Chinese" like restaurant. Was craving for fish, and came across this deep fried Flounder dish here, and blown away with the fresh taste, light batter and crunchy texture. Restaurant is located near a Ranch 99 market, and was only Chinese restaurant in this plaza. Like many American Chinese restaurants, they serve local dishes, and you can ask for the real Chinese favorites too. The staff are busy because people are flown in and out, but you will get what you need in a relatively reasonable time. read more

Have been having lunch here at twice a month for the past 6 months. Shirley, the owner, is always sweet and pleasant. Also Jackie has been very attentive to us. One thing we like about the food is that NOTHING is ever salty. Hard to find any restaurants that isn't overly salty. Needless to say the food is always fresh and delicious! read more

It's been SO long since I've come to this restaurant. I wanted to try it again because I start getting tired of the same flavors from my usual Westside and South Bay Chinese restaurants that I frequent and order from. The lunch specials are definitely worth it. They give good-sized portions along with white rice and even egg flower soup to go. Many restaurants don't give you soup if you are ordering take-out. They even give you a small container of spiced peanuts which is a nice touch. The sweet and sour chicken, broccoli beef, chicken with pan fried noodles, and salt and pepper pork chops were all very tasty and attractive and worth ordering again. Now I know I can start coming here again after so many years. While you wait, you can shop at 99 Ranch, 85 Degrees Bakery, and Daiso. read more

We tried their salt and pepper pork chops which were yummy and not spicy and greasy at all. We tried the Pork Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao), shumai, and har gow which were yummy and on point. My fiance and stepson tried the wonton and beef stew noodle soup and they thought it was good and hit the spot. read more

We ordered takeout for dinner last night. Everything tasted exceptionally better than usual. I knew something was different once I opened the lid of the takeout containers. That amazing and delicious aroma of damn good Chinese Cantonese food! I was wondering about it when I called in to place my order and thought I recognized the voice of the previous and original owner, Shirley. My husband picked up the food and confirmed that it was Shirley at the restaurant. And, after scanning the comments on Yelp, it confirmed that Shirley is back and brought back quality Cantonese food! This is what I ordered and it was delish: * Beef Chow Fun (dry) * Chicken Chow Mein * Yang Chow Fried Rice * Sautéed Pea Leaves w/ Garlic * Sautéed String Beans I'll have to go back with the fam and dine in and try other staples from the past. We now have Sam Woo-quality Cantonese food in the South Bay! read more

Food (5/5): A Gardena local favorite. I've lived in Gardena for over 15 years now and Tasty Kitchen has always been here to fulfill mine and my family's Chinese food craving. Our top favorite include the chicken wings, sautéed green beans, beef chow fun, chicken fried rice, flounder, and their beef and eggs. Service (5/5): The woman who is acting hostess and waitresses is seriously so nice! She always remembers my family's faces. We have always gone in the evening and the wait times on our food never disappoint. Within 10 minutes of us ordering we almost always have our chicken wings piping hot. Recently they gave us cucumber salad and it was such a refreshing taste to our dense meal. Ambiance (5/5): Not quite a hole in the wall spot but not exactly fine dining either. Perfect for casual dinners with loved ones, most especially family. Price (5/5): Save your money from Panda Express and come here instead because of the quantity and quality you'll get here. read more

WATCH OUT FOR UNAUTHORIZED TIPS ON FOOD "TO GO" ORDERS. I GOT CHARGED 20% I was in a hurry and signed the credit card screen without seeing the bill. Food was okay. I picked up on Christmas Day and was in a hurry. I was told my order was $53.04 so I signed the credit card charge on screen without seeing the receipt. When I got home my receipt was for $62.59 because it included tips of $9.55 which is 20% rate tips (order was $48.00 before tax)....even more or less tips than dine-in depending on service. "TO GO"orders should not be charged tips. I was not expecting they would sneak tips without asking me. WATCHED OUT FOR UNAUTHORIZED TIPS ON YOUR BILL!!!!! Watch out specially if you order "TO GO". read more
