Best Chinese food in CA. Bbq pork is amazing. Been coming here for over 20 years and always stop by when In the area

Chicken is not chicken. 90% dough of some kind that mimics the look of chicken, spongy nasty feeling texture. This is becoming Chinese Food standard, but this place took it to a Whole Other Level. Just sad. read more

I've finally got out here and tried Chinese Deli. I didn't get the Fried Rice, but it looked good. My plate was overflowing with Chow Mein, BBQ Pork and Orange Chicken. I also picked up a side of Egg Foo Young and Gravy. This small Chinese take-out spot is a no frills restaurant that serves the usual dishes at average quality. Honestly I was hoping to be blown away finding a hidden gem, but no, it's a regular Chinese fast food spot. There is nothing wrong with being just another Chinese fast food restaurant, they do have Egg Foo Young and tasty Gravy, which is hard to find. read more

My heart breaks because my intention isn't to put down a small business but I had high hopes based on the reviews. As another reviewer pointed out, the chow mien was more veggies than noodles without any flavor and mostly salted. I love chow mien so I was looking forward to it. I really was. But it didn't meet my expectations. The food was overcooked and I got half and half, beef broccoli, and chicken teriyaki. I was grateful to have food but it wasn't what I thought it would be. The lady was so friendly and happy to serve but I think they need to double check the cooking process. read more

Chinese Deli - Chicken Chow Mein Broccoli Beef Teriyaki Chickenteriyaki - Delis Near Me - Carson, California

This place has the best fried rice in town. I went here on a fluke and glad I stumbled in. Whenever I'm in the area I have to stop here. They give you a healthy portion and it's very flavorful. Also had the beef and broccoli which was very tender. read more

Chinese Deli - The BEST Fried Rice in town! - Delis Near Me - Carson, California

Food is disgusting. I swear these revies got to be fake or I feel bad for people, that think this is the best. Got orange chicken, mushroom chicken, fried rice.and chow mein. Everything tasted old and no good taste. The closest thing was the fried rice. But I thought, this would be good if it was warm and cooked properly lol. Service isn't fast and it's a very small place. Seriously gotta look into these 5 star reviews. I was very very let down, soooo bad. read more

Bro was not expecting to pay so much lol . I got a plate with only orange chicken chow mein and broccoli and beef 2 egg rolls and a small 12 oz drink and paid 27$ for that. The food is mid btw thought it would be really good for the price. Honestly still think panda express is better and way cheaper lol kinda dont recommend read more

2.5 Stars Not sure how this place has a 4.2 rating -- it's definitely not that level of quality. The chow mein had more cabbage and random chunks of vegetables than actual noodles. The orange chicken was overly sweet and loaded with MSG, and the fried rice was just average at best. The one highlight was the teriyaki chicken -- it was actually moist and had good flavor -- but that was about it. Yes, you get large portions for around $15 for a two-item combo, but overall, the food just isn't very good for that price or any price. I would not return. read more

YOOO I been coming here ever since I was little!! Let me tell you--they NEVERRRR MISS! Man the barbeque pork is the best barbeque pork EVER, it had to be said! with the fried rice it doesn't get better than that.. I know it's looks like the most unassuming place ever but mannn this spot hits like no other. & these portions can easily be shared or saved for later! amazing! When I went in today I kid you not I walked out of there under less than a minute. SERVICE WAS THAT QUICK!! & the lady was smiling the whole time! the best hole in the wall ever read more

Chinese Deli - barbecue pork - Delis Near Me - Carson, California

Best steam table Chinese I've ever had. The only lady behind the counter was efficient with the line that was in there. Bbq pork was tender and delicious, grab some hot mustard. The orange chicken is something we don't usually order but was great here, still crunchy. Egg foo young was made fresh to order and surprisingly wonderful, airy and the best use of water chestnuts I've seen. The lady even chopped it up for us with a huge cleaver so it was easier to eat. The fried rice has chunks of bbq pork and egg and the chow mein had chicken and egg. They have both Sriracha and chili oil. It was enough food for two plus leftovers It's been open for forty years and is inside a cute, kitchy building. Parking lot is tiny and one way, enter from KFC around the corner read more

Don't known how it's rated so high, every item on the plate tasted identical like burnt old oil. I only ate the teriyaki and that left such a bad taste in my mouth. The orange chicken was basically all breading and maybe a nickel sized amount of chicken for something the size of a kiwi. read more

Hey Everybody, see below and check out the unprofessional reponse to my previous review that the owner decided to write me 8 years later. Celia, it definitely was this restaurant. Please do not try to insult my intelligence just because you don't want to believe my review or feel that it tarnishes your brand. Now, if you've had your restaurant exterminated since then...just say that. But insulting someone for having an unsavory experience just shows your level maturity (orlack thereof). Eight years later, really? read more

Not delicious...I'm from the east coast so I guess my standards are high because we had some good Chinese food back home. I was disappointed despite the reviews. Also there wasn't no egg in the egg fu young!!! read more

Chinese Deli - "Egg fu young" "orange chicken" - Delis Near Me - Carson, California

Small but mighty! Small but mighty is my description for Chinese Deli. This small spot in Carson has some mighty delicious food! One can easily miss the tiny building that houses Chinese Deli. It would definitely be sad though to miss out on this place because they offer some delicious food for good prices! A combo with two entrees, fried rice and chow mein runs for under $13. Entrees include yummy dishes like Orange Chicken, Mushroom Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken and BBQ Pork. Aside from entrees; one can get sides like egg rolls or soups such as Wonton Soup and Hot and Sour Soup. I found the food here quite tasty! I enjoyed the BBQ pork. It was good in flavor and was very tender. I also liked the Mushroom Chicken. I found it to be quite savory and paired well with the fried rice. One other thing I noticed here is they are continuously cooking and so you are sure to be getting fresh food. Sometimes for small places; food can sit for hours under the heat lamp. That is not the case here as I personally saw them bringing out newly prepared food from the kitchen. This place may not look like that much from the outside but I highly recommend checking this place out for their mighty delicious food read more

Chinese Deli - bbq pork and mushroom chicken - Delis Near Me - Carson, California

Small standalone store, set-up with prepared food in steam trays that you pick from....just like a lot of other fast food chinese places all over LA. It's a stand alone building with some parking, as well as spaces in the back of the nearby KFC (there are no signs threatening towing if you park there as a non-KFC customer, so the businesses must get along OK). We were doing some errands in the area, and this place got good reviews, so decided to stop-in for dine-in. There isn't much room inside, but there are a few tables set-up to the side for dine in. It is a Panda-Express/Hong Kong Express set-up, where there are already food prepared that you choose from. Usually a 2 or 3 entree combo can be shared between us, so got the two item combo plate ($13.47) with half fried rice and half chow mein adding broccoli beef and teriyaki chicken. One impressive thing was that the fried rice had bbq pork in it, instead of it just being plain. Portions are large, and everything tasted OK. Drinks are cans only ($1.79). It was quite busy while we were there, and everybody chose something from the steam trays, so the food seemed to be turning over pretty fast. read more

This place has been here 50 years. Food is consistent with the typical what seems to be very serious lady serving your food......LOL!! (They're actually pretty nice) It's a little dingy with a few tables, but the hot table is kept pretty clean and has a pretty good selection. Orange Chicken is good, BBQ Pork is decent, Wonton Soup is definitely good and they put cilantro in it. read more

One of the best special fried rice I've ever eaten. Definitely recommend! Best in the business!

I was craving Chinese food so I came here after all of the rave reviews. I'm not sure what everyone was raving about. The food was average. But they do give you a good portion for the amount ($15 for a 2-item combo). This is my first & last time here. Still looking for a delicious Chinese takeout place. read more

Always generous with their serving and orange chicken is always juicy plus tender inside. Chow mein is always exceptional. Owners are nice too read more

Chinese Deli - Chow mein with Orange Chicken - Delis Near Me - Carson, California

My family and I have been coming here for years. My favorite is the crunchy and tasty Orange Chicken and the Noodles! Everything on the menu has lots of flavor and delicious!! Thank you Celia read more

I had high hopes with the 4.5 star reviews. Some of my favorite Chinese places have 3 stars. Basically I spent $50 on food I did not enjoy so I did not eat, and I usually love Chinese left overs. Bummer. They did have really good bbq pork. Likely the best I've had, so it wasn't all a wash. read more

Great food selections. Quick service and good sized portions. Very nice people working here.

It's easily accessible and food is always great tasting. The selections are the popular items so the menu stays the same. You can special order some other items available. The servings are plentiful that one combo is good enough for lunch and dinner, or two people can share one plate. The pricing is very affordable. The service is fast, friendly, and quick. There are tables to eat in if you have time to eat inside. Sometimes when I'm finished with my errands I just want to relax and eat in before I go home. They have a catering menu for those parties you don't want to have to cook for! You won't have to worry about taking home left overs--there won't be any. Enjoy! read more

Never had a bad experience here. A regular stop when I'm in the area for me and my family that grew up in Carson. We all moved away but have very fond memories of this hole in the wall shop. Sometimes we even make the drive from Temecula or Ventura just for this experience. Wish all shops were like this. Coming by soon. Everything is good here. Portions are crazy big enough to share or not. read more

This was the pick of the week for dinner and boy was it a great pick!! I moved out here last week from Inglewood to Torrance and I can already tell the difference in the food. When I pulled up it was crowed which is a good sign so I instantly look for the orange chicken because I had some from another place that should remove it from the menu it was so bad. After I ordered the orange chicken and fried rice I looked for some juice from the meats to pour over the rice like I always do at the places in Inglewood but there was none so I got it dry. But when I got home let me tell you!!! The orange chicken was and also the fried rice too, and I noticed that they added little pieces of pork to the rice ON PURPOSE!! That little extra added thing made this my new favorite restaurant!! read more

Good authentic taste and the service is exceptional. Food is always hot and fresh you get a bang for your buck. Always a pleasure to go there and get food! read more

Been coming here for more than 20yrs The is good I love the bbq pork and fried rice. The price is good and the amount of food is get is a lot read more

Great food... good flavor fast and ready constantly fresh food good portions. don't forget to try the house wonton soup made fresh to order. Nice and friendly service small hole in the wall restaurant. read more

Hole in the wall for old school Chinese dishes. Bbq pork is off the charts. Charred just right, tender and insanely flavorful. Sweet and sour pork and chow mein get shout outs as well. Orange chicken and fried rice were good but outshined by the pork dishes for us. No pics. Food devoured. The staff/owners were awesome and accommodating. They really go above and beyond. Will be our new spot to scratch the itch for Chinese food. read more

I love this place. It's a mom and pop shop where they pile in all the food as much as possible. My go to is the noodles, orange chicken and BBQ pork 2 item combo. It's really tasty. Owners are very friendly too. You can dine in, to go and they even do catering. One of the best Chinese places around. read more

First time there and dang this place smacks real good the chow Mein fire fried rice fire bbq pork fire orange chicken fire fire and teriyaki chicken to fire and the massive egg rolls are to danm delicious really recommend this place the staff is so nice as well awesome experience going back read more

Best wonton soup around in my opinion.. the broth is the best .. even better than most big Chinese restaurants this place tops all of them.. I suggest you called 10-15 minutes ahead since they make it fresh to order and a lot of people order it.. parking lot is small but there is street parking available.. perfect for this kind of cold weather man I wish I had some right now..!! read more

Not sure why this place has high ratings. The foods and especially chowmein are dry because they didn't care to stir. The portions are little. I came during lunch time and I was the only customer there. I checked the reviews and Yelp showed this restaurant had 8 health violations read more

I have lived about three blocks away for 54 years and have always found this place to be a good value. My favorite is their fried rice and I sometimes get the shrimp fried rice which is a custom order that is worth the wait. read more

This is a family favorite and by that I mean not just myself but my brothers and sister we all been going to this place for ages! The menu isn't huge but what they do have is delicious and the portions are great! If you want things like shrimp fried rice or egg foo young you need to wait or order it via phone so it's ready when you arrive! The bbq pork is the best! Anytime I eat somewhere else I always am disappointed with the bbq pork and the Orange chicken so I always come back to this place read more

The food was well seasoned and delicious! They give big portions and the service is top tier. They where very kind and respectful and smiled! They even gave me a free pen for tipping! I will come again read more

Miles above your typical American style Chinese restaurant. Staff is welcoming, kind, and considerate. The food is very yummy - pork is cooked thoughtfully and without pork smell, noodles have that char flavor you come to expect without a ton of grease, and the fried rice is well seasoned but not overcooked. The staff even helped me carry out items to the car - I am astounded at the level of service. Look forward to the next time I come here! read more

Everything was so good. Got the 2-item combo (half and half with double orange chicken) for $15. Pleasantly surprised that the chow mein and fried rice have meat--and the meat is so tender. The lady at the front was SO nice and generous. I will definitely be coming back to try their other dishes. read more

The food is delicious, and staff is very friendly however their prices are INSANE. $16 FOR A 2 item plate. Also they charge you tax 2x (Carson Tax 10.25, they charge tou 20.25%) so becareful, we already reported this to the BBB. read more

First time here in a looong time. Food overcooked, or possibly it was under the heat lamp too long. Broccoli was soft, you'd expect a little crunch from a stir fry entree. Noodles? Soft. Not chewy as expected for chow mein, or any noodle dish. Rice wasn't prepared correctly for the specific purpose of being cooked as fried rice, and lacked the hint of nuttiness found in a quality offering. Beef with never ending chew rounded out the meal. Used to frequent this joint in the previous century. I remember the portions and flavor being on point. Grub good enough to keep in your rotation. Nothing on this visit reminded me of how highly I used to regard this restaurant. Nostalgia can only go so far. Anybody rating the food more than 1 star must not have any taste buds. Food = ZERO Nostalgia = 1 star read more
