The staff remembered us and provided friendly, attentive service throughout the meal. It's hard to find a place that stays this consistent, and that's exactly why I came back.

Located on the corner of PCH and Penn Ave, the restaurant features its own 16-car parking lot. Inside, the décor is quite casual, and it is spacious enough to accommodate 50 guests. Upon arrival, the friendly staff promptly guided us to our table and brought menus and water right away. While perusing their menu, we found out they have stinky tofu. Yes, stinky tofu! The dish, with its pungent aroma and unique flavor, caused the ultimate sensory conflict between the taste and smell when we tried it for the first time. So, in a benign masochistic way, we went ahead and ordered their Crispy Spicy Stinky Tofu with Pork. When the dish arrived, we apologized profusely to our next table patrons for the smell, and even offered to let them try it, which they unhesitatingly and politely refused. This restaurant's version was slightly different. The fried tofu cubes had a tougher texture, less airy, and were lightly flavored. The sauce was nicely spicy, but the ground pork was present only in spirit because we couldn't find it. Overall, it was not too bad, but it could be better. Besides the tofu dish, we also ordered their Seafood in Crab Meat Sauce Noodle. This was an interesting dish. The soup came separately from the noodles and starchy sauce, which had shrimp and fish fillet toppings. This setup allows you to dilute the soup's thickness to your liking. The noodles were nicely al dente, the sauce was well seasoned, and the shrimp and fish filets had a great texture. Crab meat sauce was blended in the broth and kind of MIA. Lastly, we ordered Black Pepper Seafood Rice Cake. The sauce was pleasantly savory, a tad sweet, and slightly spicy from black peppers. The sliced rice cakes had a perfect texture: neither too soft nor too hard. The pieces of squid and fish filet toppings had a very nice consistency. The prices were reasonable and the food was very good. Recommended.

PCH NOODLE: Really good and flavorful ! Got the chicken curry noodles. Rich sauce so much flavor! Back again, steeled myself to try and find the ever elusive- Good Pad Thai! I rate theirs very highly. First things first - it wasn't dry! Yay! Look at the video to see the glistening caramel colored rice noodles! Secondly, the noodles were NOT cooked to within an inch oF their life! Another point for PCH! The noodleS had just that right, pleasant CHEW, that texture that only properly prepared rice noodles can ever give! The sauce seemed like TWO much at first - both too salty and sweet but once the lime was squeezed, the peanuts and sprouts tossed about- everything settled in JUST right. Thrown for a loop by the sausage appetizer - omg crispy casing holding flavors not found anywhere else that I know of - even the Laotian restaurant I almost went to- served with peanuts, chilis and slices of garlic that didn't taste like overwhelming garlic, just fresh tasting to balance out the rich bites of authentic Thai sausage. SO WONDERFUL! Really quite a treat here in humble harbor city / Lomita. Thai tea good could be stronger? But thank you for a $5 Thai ice tea though! Another Nice, small hidden gem here in Lomita. (See my reviews bro). Their Kha soi is also among the best- mom/ grandma flavors- not watered down boring flavors, no! Actual FLAVOR! Their dessert of a "Milky Roti" (only $7) with milkyness and chocolate and coconut ice cream sounds like a small child/parent diabetes nightmare but omg it's one of the best desserts I have ever had in my life. I can't really explain it because it doesn't really make sense.

If you've ever had popcorn chicken from a good boba shop, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. The chicken is crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and somehow manages to disappear before I make it home. The fried basil is the real MVP though! crispy, fragrant, and incredibly addictive! Highly recommend checking out this local gem!!!

We asked for not spicy and there was only a hint of white pepper. The only negative was the presentation. It is served in a large paper cone. That's fine if you're eating and walking with it. But at a table, the cone was so tall that you have to stand up to see the chicken inside. And you have to rotate the cone if you're sharing since one side of the cone is taller than the other. The stinky tofu was serviceable but it could have been stinkier. The beef noodle soup was okay. The beef was very tender and the soup was good. But it's not as flavorful as the ones at Sue's Kitchen up the street. The only miss for me was the Dan Dan noodles. I was warned it was spicy but it was a bit spicier than I anticipated. That's ok but the sauce had a weird sour taste to it that was kind of off putting. The service is very attentive. I wish they served boba drinks. Overall we will definitely be back. I can't wait until they open their new branch up in Palos Verdes later this year.

I ordered that, bok choy and mushrooms, and a bowl of rice. My waiter looked at me and asked if I knew if I knew the soup was in a big bowl. I told him that I would be taking some home and I wouldn't be stuffing my face quite so much. It was indeed a big bowl. I like mine a little runnier but who am I to complain. It was a cold night so it was nice to drink in something warming to my soul. The bok choy and mushrooms were also great and the side of rice was sizable. I'll be back. It was a nice change of pace from eating my own cooking. Enjoy!
