We enjoy our usual orders like Xiao long bao, soy sauce lo mein with chicken, chicken with Chinese broccoli, sweet sour pork and shrimp, garlic pea shoots, Mongolian beef, honey walnut shrimp, salt pepper pork chop, and fried rice. They give huge portions of food when dining there. The restaurant is pretty spacious. Great for big parties. Parking is somewhat limited nearby but can park in the next lot if there's space.

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.

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've been to Tasty China twice now, and I've ordered this dish both times. I'll probably order it again on my next visit. That's how much I like it here. https://yelp.to/qo3grgM4uz Aside from the yummy Veggie XLB, I've also had the following: - Family Style Tofu https://yelp.to/bPSjwi5ft8 - Vegetable Chow Fun https://yelp.to/AfuF6y10Vf - Eggplant with Hot Garlic Sauce https://yelp.to/GJCDRNhc0Y - Dry Sauteed Sting Bean https://yelp.to/XjEXq8jeEV - Garlic Bok Choy (lunch) https://yelp.to/ib6IUdM2v- So far, everything has been delicious. Or shall I say tasty...lol! I would say that the one time I ordered the eggplant, it was very oily. But I feel like that can be a quick fix if I order with light oil next time. Parking is pretty easy and plentiful since the restaurant is attached to a Ramada Inn. Staff is friendly and helpful. My parents like it here too.

Dim Sum was excellent at 3pm. The dishes took some time to appear (which hopefully meant they were…read morenot premade). In order of appearance: Crispy Baked BBQ Pork Bao - Nice crumbly cookie crust covered baked bun with moist bbq pork filling. The buns arrived quickly but was unexpectedly warm and quite memorable. Jumbo Siu Mai - Very substantial, handsome siu mai with good amount of fish roe. Its ground pork/shrimp/mushroom filling had good mouthfeel and hints of msg. Spicy Mala Har Gow - The distinctive black crystal skin was stamped with golden birthmarks, quite thick and sticking to the parchment paper. Mala shrimp filling had good taste contrast and some heat. Bean Curd Roll - Three rolls swimming in clear drinkable broth. Nice shiny tofu skin. Pork/shrimp fillings were balanced, subtle, delicious. Cordyceps flower offered an earthy sweetness. A well-balanced dish that I would reorder. Sesame Balls - Deep fried mochi, dressed to the hilt with sesame seeds, with perfect 'first bite' crispness before collapsing to reveal the red bean filling. Minus: There was an unmistakable drain stench coming from the kitchen area.

A charming local restaurant with Taiwanese and Chinese food, ran by stand-up people…read more Their weekday lunch specials range from $15-$18, depending on the featured protein selected. Most restaurants with similar specials have the tendency to stack up on rice and skimp out on the meat, not here. Additionally, the $10 braised pork bowl is wonderful. The pork hits the mark on the tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. I do wish for a little more pork and pickled radish to match the rice's portion - but would 100% order this again cause it's THAT GOOD. I enjoyed the popcorn chicken combo. Crunchy, well-seasoned chicken, with more meat included instead of batter. The plate also had a heaping scoop of white rice and broccoli. I'm hoping to eventually try the spicy fried pork chop, mongolian beef, and the canaan fish fillet specials soon. From other pictures perfect, they look delicious!

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!

Mandarin Kitchen is a takeout/to-go restaurant only. I recently tried it for one thing: lion's head…read moremeatballs, a traditional dish rarely on Chinese menus and if you do find it, it's usually at Taiwanese or Shanghai cuisine restaurants. The meatballs (which are made with pork not lion of course) only appear on the Uber Eats menu, not the regular online menu. Listed at $19.99, much pricier than the rest of the menu, I crossed my fingers that it would be well made and a good size portion. My goal is to find a restaurant that makes this dish for the days I'm extra tired, because it's a very time-consuming process for me as I usually make it from scratch at home. Happy to report the meatballs are up to expectations and the portion size is worth it. I still prefer my own homemade Lion's Head meatballs but am glad this restaurant is around to help if I can't make them myself. I also ordered another entree and it was pretty solid. Not bad for a takeout only Chinese restaurant. I do wish I could dine there because I know that it would be even tastier if I could eat the food fresh from the kitchen.

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!!!

Food was HOT & of course made to order. I did burn my tongue.... But it's okay I had a cold Thai tea to help suppress that burn. Thai tea 4/5 -- on the sweeter side for me. But still carries that robust Thai flavor to it. Spicy chicken 5/5 -- huge kick to it. Looks innocent... is deadly. I loved the spiciness. I'm all about spice so this was really nice to try. Shrimp fried rice 5/5 -- I can't believe a shrimp fried this rice... it's splendid. Uh-mah-zing. We love her. Perfect shrimp to rice ratio. Not too salty. Perfect amount of umami 12pc shrimp dumplings-- 4/5 oooo they were HOT. Flavor could be improved a bit, but otherwise texture and quality was delightful. Parking is in the plaza.
