I wanted to try a Chinese place near by and it was one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ate from. The owners were very nice and sweet. My favorite was the cream cheese wontons. I'll be back soon! read more

Nim Chan's Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - San Pedro, California

Major AWESOME food. And fast. Not much in ambiance but most rake it to gon only has three booths and most times its people waiting for to go food. Come and bring friends and take it some where to eat it yummy read more

This hole in the wall Chinese Food restaurant is great for a quick take-out. Prices are cheep and the Egg Rolls are awesome! Menu selection includes a wide variety of choices.Kinda hard to decide what to order. Not exactly a place to dine in since seating is limited to only three booths. I ran into a lady during my visit that had been coming to this place since she was seven. Locals seem to love this place! My selection today consisted of egg rolls, hot & sour soup, bbq pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and sauteed beef with sting beans. Food was tasty and for $26.00 I will definitely visit again for a quick bite! Today's fortune: " Stay close to your inner self. You will benefit in many ways" read more

The food is gross and greasy and the owners are stingy and complicated with ordering what you want to eat. I spent too much money and the quality of the food is not great and forced us to double our order of what we wanted. I will never order here again!No fucking clue what this place makes their food with but I'm gonna go ahead and guess four lumps of shit with a sprinkle of SARS served over a dead hooker in a trash can. read more

I'm NEVER GET FOOD FROM HERE!!!!! I got the food for delivery my total was $37.06 I didn't have 6 cents so she got a dollar form me and did not give me my change and right after that she asked for her TIP I always tip when I get delivery. I DON'T understand why people say the food is good I feel bad but I throughout more than half of the food because it was NASTY PLEASE DON'T EAT HERE if you value your money DON'T EAT HERE!!! I can't post until a give a star!! This place doesn't deserve 1star!!!!! read more

Best Chinese food in town. Its cooked fresh, the egg roles are tasty, and they are always friendly.

Nim Chan's in San Pedro is a restaurant I'd rather order takeout for, not dine in. The food is actually decent, but the ambiance could definitely use some work. The dining area is very bland and the chairs stiff and probably built before I was born. There is one TV running, using on a local feed with "bunny ears." When I was eating lunch, there were a few flies buzzing around, which was a bit annoying. The price is good, not geat, and I felt you didn't get as much for it's money's worth. If I was hungry and in need of some Chinese with no better option available, I'd order takeout from here. read more

I have been eating indentions for 40 years. Best Chinese food in town. Nobody has egg rolls like they do period in the fried rice the best. You can't go wrong and any did she get there. Owners are very nice and friendly and the price is very competitive. read more

What happened to Nim Chan? I just had the worst Chinese takeout food I ever had. I have not been there in a while and am not sure if the owners have changed, but the Hot & Sour Soup I got tasted like it had a half a cup of sugar poured into it--it was literally inedible. The combination fried rice had approximately THREE MICROSCOPIC SHRIMP (seriously--about a ¼")! There was hardly any meat in this rice. AND it had NO FLAVOR! This place has been good in the past and has good reviews (If you trust ylep reviews), so maybe today was an off day. If I go back, I am going to TASTE EVERYTHING before I leave! read more

My friend was pretty excited about this place, but I was disappointed. She usually gets the kung pao tofu, and so we ordered it; it was ok, but not great. I don't think it was made with firm tofu, the chunks looked...soggy, somehow. Like they were slumping. There was enough spice for me, but I'm a lightweight, and I also carefully avoided the slivers of green chilis. They had included some hot sauce for higher heat if desired. The veggie lo mein was extremely bland, and at least half composed of celery and sprouts, which both of us left in piles on the sides of our plates. More noodles! I didn't order steamed salad. The restaurant itself is essentially made for take-out, which I don't have an opinion on one way or the other. There's a counter and two or three booths with hard benches. If you wanted to eat in for an extremely fast lunch, it would be one thing, but if you want to take a date out for Chinese, I suggest you choose elsewhere. The food is very inexpensive, so even though I wasn't impressed, I'd be willing to give more tofu a chance? read more

I've gone to Nim Chans for decades as my go-to Chinese takeout and have never been more disappointed. The pride in their food that I believed they had didn't exist in my last order, in fact it appeared to be a reheated or twice-cooked meal. The egg rolls were hard and the chow mein was mushy. It was so bad I couldn't eat it. read more

Decent food for a great price. Enjoyed it, but the lo mein was mildly bland. Great spot for a quick, cheap dinner!

The WORST Chinese food I've ever eaten in my whole entire life. I got the kung pow chicken and it taste like it was burnt and spoiled. I also got the shrimp and lobster sauce it barely any shrimp or flavor. I will definitely never eat here again. If that's How tbey make their food all the time I don't even know how they stay in Business. Worst 20.00 spent! read more

We have been getting our Chinese food here forever. We moved out of San Pedro in 2008 but will still all the way back there to get Nim Chans. The prices are reasonable and the food is great. read more

They are back !! Wor Wonton Soup,spring rolls,friis shrimp. YES !!!!

Loved the orange chicken and how fresh all the food was. Called in my order and When I arrived the food had just be packed and ready to go. Not a lot of staff members but that doesn't slow down their service. Prices are pretty good for the large portion that you receive. read more

Incredibly delicious!! For years we missed out. Everything is fresh, made to order and prepared with such care. He even waited until we walked in to sauce the lemon chicken so it would stay crispy. He greets you with a smile and is so attentive. He was happy to customize my order and leave out what I didn't like. The Mongolian beef was excellent, lemon chicken was crispy light and delicious. The steamed Shumai were outstanding and reminded me of the ones made by my friend's grandmother that I was addicted to. Grandma passed some years ago and I have longed for her Shumai but others only disappointed until today!! read more

Fresh, Fast, & Delicious! Cooked to order Chinese food with great prices. The orange chicken is so good! Great orange flavor & crispy texture! Great staff as well. read more

I live across the street on the Air Force base and I can tell you the food is good and fresh. I wish I knew what they put in their egg rolls. They are delicious! Just had the bbq pork fried rice and it is old school good. You can't please everybody, and some folks have to complain about everything. No complaints at all here. read more

I have searched long and hard for a Shrimp Egg Foo Young like the one I knew from my college years. It has a light brown gravy with a thickness too it and the patties are not greasy. I hit every section of Los Angeles trying to find the right one -downtown, Inglewood, Koreatown, Culver City...everywhere. I had just about given up until I found this gem. Very small, family-run spot in bad need of a new sign that you will probably miss the first few times that you drive by. But oh!!!! what a taste. Spoke with the owner, he has been there for over 35 years and takes great pride in his cooking (which does take a little longer than normal so call ahead). He proudly says "every order comes with two soy sauce," and you can just feel the history and passion that he has for his work. Love, love, love this spot. Leave a tip! read more

Don't be fooled by the other reviews. This place is not good. I am not a snob and am easily satisfied, but this place just didn't do it. I will never go there again. Plane and simple... Not good. read more

See all

Kind of a dive but really good food at a good price. The Egg Rolls are the best I've ever had. I recommend this place

Not going to overrate them by giving 5 stars, because the food is average to slightly above average. However, they are always willing to make me Mongolian Pork, even though it's not on the menu. Family owned and operated, means I'm not making a bunch of guys in suits large bonuses. And it is the best Chinese place in the San Pedro area. read more

Just spent $26.00 for old, stale food. Appetizers: ribs were oily and hard, chicken was dry and tasteless, shrimp batter was not cooked and no sauce for the shrimp and the beef skewer with pepper-I would not feed this to my dog. Egg flower soup: does not taste good, something is wrong and it is watery. War wanton soup: again, does not taste right and is watery. Yang chow rice: shrimp is not deveined and you can see a nice black stripe of shi*. Rice is also overcooked with an almost burnt taste. It also looks and tastes as though they just threw in a bunch of chopped up leftovers in it. read more

Solid chinese food, and excellent egg rolls. Definately a call and pick-up type food joint.

If you want great tasting Chinese food with a no frills NYC feel of the place... Then get your food to go from here! A simple local place that delivers on taste and always comes with a "Thank you my friend." read more

we love the house special chow mein here! My husband doesn't like chinese food, but this is the only thing that he eats.

I love this place. There's definitely a language barrier when placing and order but they always get the order right. They have the best sweet and sour chicken, and shrimp fried rice. Great place to call in the way home for take out. read more

People were super friendly. Food was REALLY bland and not flavorful at all. Three of us agree - wound not go back :-((. Sorry.

I normally order from a different chinese food spot, but I decided to give this place a try beause it was next to my nail salon. I am really disappointed in this choice. The food is not as advertised! I thought I would give it a try because of the lunch special, but it was short from special. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken with Lo Mein and I didn't finish it. SO sad about the 7$ I spent here. The Lo mein tasted almost wet still from them blanching it in water and putting it straight into a pan. The kung pao was NOT kung pao. It was not spicy and the flavor was not the same. Neither of these dishes had any flavor to it. read more

Love the food, the people and the prices. We always order Wor Wonton Soup, Hot & Sour Soup, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Chicken Chowfun, Spicy Salt & Pepper Shrimp, and Kung Pao Beef. So delecious & so good, it was worth the wait! There' s only one cook in the back and he's constantly cooking good food. read more

Just stoped by after a hike at Portuguese Bend. Only had the egg rolls and they were delicious! Still hot when we took them home. Mom and pop place that I hope survives. Close to the trump golf course. if you wanted a snack fir your hike or your scenic drive this would be a great place to try. read more

Great Chinese food. Very reasonable prices and good portions. Small joint not great decor but has that homey mom and pop Chinese food vibe. I love the chow fun read more

We have been searching for a good place for Chinese food and we finally found one!! We ordered two individual combo plates and everything was delicious! Sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, won tons, fried shrimp, fried rice, sweet and sour pork.. will definitely visit again! Service was great too! read more

Giving the benefit of the doubt to previous positive reviewers, and the convenience of a short drive (this Chinese food place is the closest to my apartment), I tried Nim Chan's Kitchen. I have to apologize to the people who gave this one star. I wronged them in my thoughts by considering the possibility that they held standards too lofty. I now know they were just being honest. I love finding quaint places that can match or beat chain restaurants for quality and/or ambiance. But this place just sucks. Nim Chan's Kitchen reminded of when Eddie Murphy described how, when he was a young boy, his mom once assured him she could make him a hamburger better than McDonald's. And though he had his doubts, he looked forward to the final product. His description of his mother's ad hoc home-cooked burger's utter failure to match the tried-and-true McDonald's formula is analogous of Nim Chan's cooking and that of any decent Chinese take-out joint. Yes, I realize McDonald's represents quality in this analogy. That is the extent to which this place sucks. read more

Very disappointed. Their lunch specials are nothing "special". Ordered orange chicken with lo mein. Orange chicken was too hard and and hardly had any glaze. Noodles were bland. No flavor whatsoever. Not even a hint of garlic. Will not be coming here ever again. read more

This is a great go to place when you are hungry for take out Chinese food. Some is sooo good. I loved the vegatarian egg foo yung (spelling?). It's the best I have ever had - ever. I was not a fan of the mongolian beef. read more
