Never judge a restaurant until you experience it for yourself. This is a humble, family-owned place serving really solid food. I ordered the Korean-Chinese fusion curry chicken and the beef with broccoli, and both were delicious. The portions were massive--I only ate a small amount and still had plenty to take home. The food tasted fresh and made from scratch, with no MSG. The service was friendly, and the restaurant was packed when I visited, which says a lot. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates fresh food, generous portions, good service, and a welcoming family-owned restaurant. Family friendly read more

1-2026 Visit. Happy to say my two go-to dishes are still the best in L.A. (I would love to know their secret sauce for the jjampong broth -- deep flavor, red but not spicy, with a hint of smokiness) Their house kimchee is still no bueno. All is well in Little China. read more

While I cannot say that this is the greatest jjajangmyeon in the world, I can say that this is my favorite. Everytime I come here, I end up ordering so much that I have food for the rest of the week. The vibes are also immaculate and I feel so at home. The staff is very amiable and also feels like family. 12/10 would come here forever. read more

I've always loved coming to this place, but unfortunately, the service has become horrendous. The staff is quite rude to paying customers, and they take forever to check in on you or see if you need anything. This establishment severely needs better management and a serious upgrade in customer service ethics. read more

While the food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious--especially the garlic fried shrimp--the service completely ruined the experience. The staff was extremely rude and inattentive. When I asked a waiter for a fork, he curtly snapped, 'Wait.' On top of that, the food took forever to arrive, and we were completely ignored for the rest of our lunch. It's a shame the great food is overshadowed by such poor service. read more

Little China - Garlic Sauce Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Gardena, California

I'm so upset at myself for not having come here sooner! As a life-long Gardena resident it's only now that I've missed out on so many great places so I'm doing my part to visit local food places every Friday. This Friday (September 19, 2025) my friend and I came here. There are two rooms for sitting and we were sat in the 2nd dining room with the AC going (thank you Little China) nothing fancy but just a homey atmosphere. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. I had looked at the menu ahead of time and convinced my friend that we should order "meal for two A". We each picked our own entree (almond chicken and sweet&sour pork) and added the fried dumpling appetizer too. The A meal comes with wonton soup, pork fried rice, and fried wontons & egg rolls. All this and we received some kimchi banchan! We were not expecting a feast! The wonton soup was warm and flavorful with plump wontons and bamboo shoots, and peas...just so good! What I so appreciated about the food was that nothing was coated in a heavy sauce for the sake of coating things in a sauce. At Little China the food is the main character and that's what you're going to enjoy. The almond chicken was didn't skimp on the almonds. The sweet & sour pork was so crispy and the batter didn't get soggy in the sauce, just so perfectly balanced. The pork fried rice, HEAVEN!!! When you come to Little China. you're going to have an amazing food experience. I already can't wait to go back. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, very soon! read more

This food is so good. I have been here a couple times. It's better than most Chinese food I have had. Well seasoned, fresh, delicious. The staff is friendly and the food is great. I highly recommend this place. read more

Korean Chinese food is such a bop. You can't convince me otherwise. Is it the healthiest? No but who cares, live to eat, not eat to live right? So where do we even start. Get the tangsuyuk, kkanpung saeu, jajangmyeon, and jjamppong. Tangsuyuk, fried chicken, is a staple for any Korean Chinese restaurant. Crispy and juicy with some of that amazing sweet and sour sauce to go along with it. You just can't go wrong with it. Kkanpung saeu, fried shrimp, is equally amazing. Crispy and juicy and bursting with flavor, I had to restrain myself lest my future father in law gets mad at me for eating it all. Oops. Jajangmyeon is the classic. This black bean noodle is more korean but it's got the essentials. Plenty of black bean sauce, bits of meat, and noodles for days. It's hard to mess jajangmyeon up. My favorite would probably be jjamppong though. This seafood noodle was not too spicy but just jammed pack full of seafood and what not. Each bite left me sniffly but wanting more and more. I had stains all over my shirt and pants afterward if that's any indication of how much I liked it. So there you go, this hole in the wall restaurant is fantastic, eat here on many occasions if you can. The workers mostly speak Chinese, not so much Korean, but English will get you by too. read more

A restaurant I've known since I was a child. These days, many Chinese places serve food that is overly sweet or salty, but coming back here reminded me of what authentic Chinese-Korean food should taste like. The Kanpung Shrimp and Tangsuyuk are served in that classic 'old-school' style--not too sweet, and packed with fresh meat and shrimp. Starting the meal with their warm jasmine tea brought back so many great memories. read more

I've been going here for the last 25 years. When I was in my late teens, my dad would order food from here when I first tried it and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Now living in OC, I visit South Bay Area sometimes just for the food here. Still fantastic when I tried it earlier in the year 2025! read more

My go to Chinese restaurant in this area. With a little Korean kick to it. Not the fancy kind of place but the food is great. Been coming here for over 20 years. I always get the Mongolian beef, spicy shrimp and chanpon noodles. Definitely worth it!! read more

Hands down my favorite Korean Chinese restaurant for black bean noodles - jja jang myun. When you walk into a Chinese restaurants and they seem to have never bought new furnitures since the 80s... that means it's the spot! It's our family's GO TO. We usually order: - jja jang myun - we get the bigger size "go bbae gi" and ask for them to split it into two bowls - jjang bbong- spicy seafood noodle soup - "yackee mandu" - pan fried dumplings - sweet and sour pork - spicy "kanpoong" shrimp - yellow onion pork stir fry with bread - book kyung chicken - spicy fried chicken We love so many things from this place read more

The food tasted good overall; however, the portion size was much smaller than expected. We ordered a large tangsuyuk, but it appeared closer to a small portion. read more

don't know why the overall review is so low... this place definitely has great korean chinese food!! there's a lot of seating and the servers were so nice. my family and i took a while to order but the guy there was super patient with us and even helped us pick out our menu. the food... SO GOOD. here's what i've tried: sizzling rice soup omg... i was not expecting this to be so good. my mom ordered this and i ended up eating more of it then her. it's an interesting porridge dish; the rice comes fried and the worker puts it in the soup, where it makes a sizzling noise (hence the name). it had various seafood in it and it was so scrumptious... jajangmyeon (noodle with bean sauce) wow. i usually don't like jajangmyeon but this had me scraping every bit on the bowl. the noodles were cooked to perfection. the portion is big so if you ask them to divide into half, they'll do it for you!! kkanpung saeu (fried shrimp with garlic sauce) scrumptious. great sauce, the shrimp is crispy and overall, it's just flavorful. this place is amazing; will def come back next time and try other dishes as well!! read more

BEWARE! Cross contaminated food. Rotten smell coming from the food. The pan fried dumplings were dripping in cold oil, which is a dangerous health concern and far from the description "pan fried". The extreme low quality food doesn't justified the high prices of the dishes -$22 for frozen dumplings - probably bought from Restaurant depot. Stay away if you don't want to get sick. read more

The restaurant could use a bit of a renovation, but honestly, that just adds to the charm. It has that classic South Bay Korean restaurant nostalgia that instantly takes you back. The food was great--everything came out fast, hot, and super flavorful. We had the garlic shrimp, jjajangmyun, and tangsooyook, and they were all legit. Portions were generous, and the service was friendly and quick. If you're craving solid Korean-Chinese comfort food, this spot hits the mark. Definitely coming back. read more

Tried this out hoping that we found a hole in the wall to get our Jajang Myung cravings fix. It didn't hit the mark for us. I thought the jajang tasted quite bland. Tang soo yook tasted pretty good, but overall pretty underwhelming experience for the price. The restaurant is pretty dated and underwhelming. I'd suggest checking out the spot by hanamchain in Torrance. read more

Oophs we did it again! First stop for my husband as he craves his childhood Chinese Korean food and this place delivers all the time. Busy lunch hour, however the staffs are friendly and the food comes out quickly. They have a great system. We started with the friend dumplings, batter is chewy and the outside is crunchy and not to mention the pork filling is plenty. Non spicy noodle soup is perfect with seafood and noodles. Spicy version is also delicious with hearty noodles and spice level perfection for soup broth. Crunchy sweet & sour pork 탕수육 - you have an option to pour the sauce or sip it yourself. It's a nice option to have. Highlight of their menu is the black noodle, is perfectly chewy with black bean sauce that is tasty. Hope you get a chance to visit to enjoy the taste of Chinese-Korean dishes. Bon appetite! read more

Ok I feel really bad for calling them at 8:53pm to place an order (thinking they closed late) but was told they close at 9:00pm. I apologized but she was able to accommodate and accept my order!! I ordered the hot and sour soup, sweet and sour chicken (Chinese style), and the jjajangmyun. And honestly.....BOY THIS FOOD SLAPS I had no expectations what so ever but the food was 100% tasty!! The sauce for the jjajangmyun was on point and it was very well balanced with the noodles, the sweet and sour chicken was flavorful (chicken was really crispy), and the hot and sour soup was amazing!! Overall 11/10! Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and it will be my go to place from now on!! read more

This feels like it has more Korean influence than a Chinese restaurant that's more pure Chinese, has, albeit, it's advertised as such. I kind of feel like I separate my Korean cuisine and Chinese cravings as isolated experiences that I prefer or desire. With that, I'm not a huge fan of this, 'tho it's not innovative fusion per se, it's just a mixture of the cultures and cuisines. Parking is easy and the service was fast and friendly. They do have lunch specials too. read more

If you're in the mood for Korean-Chinese fusion food in Gardena, this is a great place to try. This place has always been our default to feed a large group. Parking can get crazy during rush hour, but you can do street parking if available. Most of their dishes can be shared family style. Also, a great place to celebrate for special occasions and holidays. This is one of the few places that opens during major holidays. I'd call just to make sure as things can change. The Food: Again portions are meant for family style. Our usual go-tos are 1. giang-jang mein (black bean noodle), 2. giang-pong (spicy seafood-pork noodle soup), 3. sweet-sour pork (tang soo yook) or shrimp (gaong-poong tang soo yook), 4. Mongolian beef, and 5. steamed buns. The top 3 ranked as mentioned above are a must for us on every visit. It's pretty filling. The rest for pure gluttony. 1. Giang-jang mein (black bean noodle) - this is a popular must-try for a Korean-Chinese fusion. The black bean sauce includes sautéed diced pork and veggies. It's very savory. Fave for all ages especially my kids. Portions are huge. You can request to have them split the portion in half for 2 ppl if one is much. 2. Giang-pong (spicy seafood-pork noodle soup) - if you're craving something spicy, seafoody and soupy, this one's perfect. This spicy noodle soup has chopped veggies, squid, and pork. Portion is huge so it's def. shareable. You can split this in half with someone else in exchange for their other half bowl of giang-jang mein. Best of both worlds. 3. Sweet and sour pork or fried shrimp - both are great side dishes to pair with your main dish. It's savory and sweet. FYI, the sweet and sour pork is more on the sweeter side with chunks of pineapple. My kids love it. The fried shrimp version is slightly sweet but a bit of spiciness from the red chili peppers in it. Sharing is caring on these ones as well. 4. Mongolian beef - my wife's fave. The sautéed meat with green onion is cooked to perfection. Eating it by itself may be on the salty side, so balance it out with a bed of white rice (upon request). 5. Steamed buns - oh... can't leave without trying their freshly steamed buns. It's soft with a slight hint of sweetness. You can sometimes catch yourself unknowingly dipping the bun into the sweet and sour pork sauce and bopping your head uncontrollably while biting into it. I won't judge you if you do. The Service: Service is quick. Food comes out quick. Don't expect them to bring you hot towels or salt bae your Mongolian beef. This is NOT that place. Just come here to eat. The Ambiance: The inside may feel like your typical Asian hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Foods usually taste the best in such places. If you're expecting a 5-star uppity restaurant, I'd advise you to keep Yelping to find one. Otherwise, come here to gorge yourself with some good ol' Korean-Chinese comfort food. All in all, if you're looking for a good Korean-Chinese fusion restaurant in Gardena, def. try out this place. Portions are huge enough to feed a large group. They are usually open majors holidays but call ahead to double check. You're welcome. read more

Decent Korean-chinese meal after thanksgiving! This place has a hole in the wall feel but definitely quality and care with the Korean and Chinese management. They r very friendly and available for service when u need them. Had the Egg Corn soup and Sauteed Happy Family to start while we were waiting for one more. Loved the egg corn soup .. very comforting. The happy family dinner was good as well. They split the jjajang myun for u which is great! Split a bigger size of it into 3 and it was more than enough for 3 ladies. Also ordered split the jjang ppong as well. It was pretty good. Enjoyed our meal and would def be back! read more

Food,selection and service was great.Eat the combo dinner for two,best value.At about $30 per person I felt it was a good deal.

This Korean-style Chinese Restaurant is on Western Avenue between 182nd Street and Artesia Boulevard. Your parking should be easy as there is a medium-sized parking lot; however, it may be hard to find a spot during busy lunch or dinner time hours. As usual with many Korean-styled Chinese restaurants, their menu includes Jajangmyeon (A Korean noddle dish topped with a thick sauce made of black beans, diced pork, and vegetables. Variants of the dish use seafood or other meats.) and Jjamppong (A Korean noodle soup with red, spicy seafood or pork based broth flavored with chili powder.) Other than noodles, one of their popular dishes is Kung Pao Shrimp at this place. It is rare to find a Chinese-Korean restaurant in a Southbay area. As such, this fact makes this place a very special restaurant in this area of the town. You may also want to visit them during their lunch hours as they do offer lunchtime specials. This place may not be well-polished in some respects, but you will enjoy their authentic Korean-styled Chinese dishes! read more

the food was bland. i get better tasting food at Panda Xpress. the mongolian beef was so thin and tasted a bit fishy and like it was breaded. Is it supposed to be? The coated chicken for the sweet n sour chicken was also bland but i guess thats why they give you the syrup. But there was more coating than chicken. the decent part of the meal was the pork chowmein and i dont even like chowmein. Definitely NOT worth the price. for 2 of us...$80 including an unwarranted 15% tip. i ordered online for pick up. i am literally walking distance from this place. i get to the place and i hear "YES!" twice, didnt know i was the one the lady at the front was yelling at. told her online pic up,she read off the order then she went to the register. without looking at me she read off the amt, i got my food and i said thank you, nothing from this lady. SHE WAS SO RUDE. bad 1st impression. will NOT return. there are nicer places closer even Panda...and theyre nicer too. dont recommend. read more

I've never been to a Korean-Chinese place that wasn't solely fusion. The food is quite good but I'm not sure the prices are worth it. The ambience is like every chinese restaurant. Outdated, old-school--the type my family would always eat at and it feels familiar. The service is good, and everything was made to order. I feel like the staff is aware that some customers might be a bit confused when coming here for the first time and they're happy to clarify anything. We tried a few different things and weren't disappointed. read more

Pretty standard Korean-Chinese fare. They will satisfy your jja jang myun (black bean noodle) and tang soo yolk (sweet and sour pork) cravings from childhood. They are probably the only such restaurant in Torrance/Gardena area with the full menu of Korean-Chinese restaurants, like in Ktown LA. The only problem is they are definitely pricier than LA, once it's all said and done, and not quite as good. But can anyone really rival the tangsooyuk in ktown? Probably an unfair comparison. I'm grateful to have this full Korean Chinese restaurant in town. They are great for takeouts too. If you're unfamiliar with this type of food - kids love the black bean noodles. It's the perfect mild and tasty sauce over some yummy noodles, just be sure to mix it in well. My 4 year old devours hers! read more
