The portions are very generous for the price, especially with how expensive everything is now. You definitely get your money's worth here.

I'll be coming back!

Service: 5 The staff is always so nice but also super quick! Food: 5 Everyone has their own opinions about Americanized Chinese food but this place is legit! Everything I've had has been FIRE and they stack your plate tf UP! And it's at a VERY reasonable price. Vibe: 5 Idc. I love a mom and pop type vibe. They have a few tables but it's honestly more of a to go type vibe. The best food comes from places that look like this. Love yall!

The food tasted a little differently from the other Northern Cafe branches but in a good way. We ordered quite a lot of food from fried rice to beef noodles to xiao long bao to the dumplings and everything tasted perfectly - taste was not too bold and definitely not bland. The ambiance was friendly and quiet.

It looked like a nice spot hidden where food is made fresh to go. I ordered the chicken Mushrooms and veggies and a wonton soup. I didn't realize they also advertise their daily specials on a board outside. My dish was very decent and not too salty. I would rather a not so salty dish so I can dose how much spicy sauce I want on it. The food came fairly quickly and I was back with lunch at my hotel in no time. Great service and easy ordering process. I really like the big board with the photos of each dish underlined with price. It makes it easy to choose the meal that you are craving for. So, give them a try. The portion is very generous! Bon appetit!

We were nearby and decided to give this place a try. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing…read moreexperience. We ordered the spicy wings, orange chicken, and beef with broccoli. The spicy wings were incredibly hot, but not in a good way. Instead of having flavor, they just burned your mouth. The orange chicken was the biggest letdown. It tasted like it had been cooked in old grease, which gave it an unpleasant, stale flavor. The beef with broccoli was just average. It was edible, but nothing that would make us want to order it again. Overall, everyone in our group wasdisappointed with the food. We were hoping for a good meal, but the quality and flavor just weren't there. Based on this visit, we wouldn't be coming back.

First time here and loved it. Didn't even know about this place even after visiting a store next…read moredoor. I happened to see a post about it and thought... I know that area! lol. We decided to try it. It's a small just take out only place. Parking is always easy. On the menu, I saw chow fun and knew we had to try that. And also the lemon chicken. I don't usually see those in some Chinese restaurants so when it's there we try it. We also had the egg plant tofu. Everything was absolutely delish! Will definitely come back and try other menu items. People there were also very friendly.

Tried out the Shrimp Scrambled Egg from their lunch special which includes side soup and veggie egg…read moreroll. Egg roll is meh. Side soup tasted like powder based which is light in flavor. Chili oil did save the side soup. The omelette was well balanced in flavor. Cooked to perfection as the egg was very fluffy. Bok Choy is plain boiled. But good to cut down from the saltiness of the eggs. The shrimps were large hibachi sized and very plump! I got around 9-10 pieces of shrimp which all were consistent in scale. Save 5% when paying in cash! A little under 17$ for a perfect omelette is a fair deal.

We haven't had roast duck for a while, so we decided to stop by Top BBQ because they serve some of…read morethe best roast duck and pork in the South Bay. Located on the border of Torrance and Gardena, the restaurant, with its casual décor, is large enough for 60 guests when 2 large round party tables are included. The always-friendly staff brought the menu and water right away. For this visit, we ordered the following dishes (which started arriving within 10 minutes): Roast Duck: As expected, the duck skin was crispy, and the meat was plump, tender and nicely seasoned. Beef Chow Fun: The seasoning was super flavorful, and the glossy, but non-greasy sautéed thick rice noodles had a perfect texture. The beef pieces were tender, and the portion of bean sprouts was just right without overcrowding the dish. Wonton Soup Noodle: The thin noodles were perfectly al dente. The broth was light but flavorful. The wontons had nice thin wraps, and the fillings were well seasoned and with pleasantly firm consistence. We left the restaurant feeling 110% full and satisfied. Highly recommended.

I'll definitely be ordering from here again.

Came here in lieu of going out to dinner and boy was this a better bang for our buck. One thing I…read morewill note is we were told the large platters would feed 10-12 people and boy was that an extreme overstatement. We majorly fudged the bucket and had so much extra food. We had about 12 people over and between eating multiple plates and everyone taking so much food home we would have been better off getting the small platers. The food and portions were amazing. The value for the cost far exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a great place to eat that is cost efficient and delicious this is your place. The platters took less than 30 minutes to prepare after we paid so hands down top tier service!

XLB: taste wise was delicious, the second time we came, the dumplings were not piping hot, but more like warm. I ate them fast to not allow them to get any colder. House special beef & tendon noodle soup: we picked the normal noodles. There was a good amount of tendon, which I love. The broth is on the clearer side but it's somehow so flavorful! I loved the noodles and overall dish! Hot & spicy beef noodle soup: we picked the knife cut noodles. The noodles were a bit too thick for my liking, but the soup was very flavorful. There was so much meat in the bowl! Spicy pork & shrimp wontons: pretty straightforward but delicious. Green beans: loved them! I will definitely be back!
