First time coming here and I will say the staff was very friendly and the food was good. You get the bang for your buck 100%, I got the orange chicken with beef and broccoli with fried rice plus the cream cheese rangoons. Everything had really good flavor and not too salty. The overall vibe inside the restaurant wasn't bad at all enough seating for everyone and accessible for people in wheelchairs as well. read more

I was looking for something quick today on my way home. I saw a long line for this place so decided to give it a try! Plenty of free parking in the lot. The restaurant itself is pretty small with 8-10 tables. The servers were all quite rude and pushy. The food was decent! It's pretty good when you're looking for something quick. I tried the pepper chicken, orange chicken, fried rice, chicken wings, and chow mein. I probably wouldn't come back as there is better Chinese food around. read more

The quality and taste of the food really isn't going to make or break this place when the service is as bad as it is. Staff were incredibly rude and the whole place seemed very disorganized. I was absolutely shocked at how rude they were. It honestly wouldn't matter if this was the best food in the world, there's no way I'll ever give them another dime. Every single person here needs a serious attitude adjustment. I'm fully aware this is a basic scoop Chinese food restaurant, that doesn't mean being incredibly rude and disrespectful is ok. Surprise! The food was terrible. Honestly, don't even bother wasting your time or money, go anywhere else. read more

First time trying Chinese food out here in this city and I will be coming back! Very good service and fast which was very time convenient. The beef brocolli was so good and I came at the right time because they just finish cooking it! Orange chicken was flavorful especially with some Siracha on the side! Fried rice was perfectly cook and NOT soggy. Chow mein was mid, noodles are a bit thin and over cook so I recommend just getting double rice!!! THE VEGETABLE EGG ROLL ARE A MUST THO with the sweet and sour sauce on the side!!! Probably my favorite compare to my regular Chinese food spot. It was so crunchy and perfectly cook also. The vegetables inside wasn't soggy or overcook which u can just hear the crunch read more

Prices here are very reasonable pre pandemic even. My first sentace of this review say it all. I highly recommend you stop by and try this gem behind Denny's.

This place is something else. I was there 8:15 and they had plenty of noodles. So I wanted noodles and steam rice and lady said No! Only one. When you are closing I mean are they going to recycle noodles tomorrow. I'm a very long time customer. That's just not nice. The owner seems like a bitch anyways, so maybe because that's just how she runs things too bad. I hope they see this review. read more

CASH ONLY! I was in the mood for Chinese chicken curry and although I have a few go-to's for this particular dish, I wanted to try out a new place. Found a place and jumped in the car and off I went! This wasn't the place I had in mind. Caught on a red light, I looked around and found it. So, eh, why not. It's exactly as it's described: EXPRESS. It is popular for one particular reason: $6.95 2-item combo plates. Although what they had to offer for that particular special, I came through for one reason only. Put in an order for the chicken curry. It didn't come with rice, so I went ahead and ordered a side of that as well as a couple of egg rolls. "To-go, please?" Packaging was good. The food was still hot when I got back 10 minutes later. Egg rolls were delicious and a bargain for a buck and change. The seasoning on the chicken curry was good, but felt could use a bit more curry. And not only were there too many fillers, they were sliced HUGE. (See attached picture.) This wasn't chicken curry: these were potatoes/onions/carrots curry with small cut chicken pieces. If I were to come back, I'll have to be around the area AND in the mood to try that bargain combo. Otherwise, future visits are doubtful. read more

I have been going to this place for months now but never did I prepare myself for the disgusting experience I just had. I ordered a Won ton soup and had already had a few spoonfuls when I noticed a black thing floating, I first thought it was part of the veggies or something but noticed it was a fly. I looked at the top of the container which also had a fly on it, and starting looking for more which I found 3 more!!!! I don't want to think how many I actually ate but definitely be very wary of their soups, not sure if they keep them open and don't cover them but that was way to many flies. Do not go to this place for soups or anything for that matter. read more

I have been coming here for a very long time and today will sadly be the last time i support this business. The customer service has gone from bad to worse over the years. My experience with them today was just baffling to me and honestly I am very disappointed because I have been coming here for years. So my kid is allergic to peppers and most of the meat options they serve have peppers. I asked for a plate with just chowmein but kindly asked if they could put the entree on the side because my child is allergic and I didn't want to chance it. I also said that I would pay for the extra plate/container if needed. They then told me that they don't do that and that I would have to pay for the two items separately and she showed me two different size containers which I could choose from. I then explained to them that I was not asking for more food I simply just needed it plated on the side due to my child's allergies. One of the employees turned to the other employee at the register and said something in another language then the employee on the register rudely said we don't do that here you don't like you don't buy. So I grabbed my child and I sure did not purchase anything nor will I ever come back here again. I completely understand charging me for the extra container however charging me full price for two sides because I asked for it to be on the side is ridiculous to me. But you don't have to tell me twice, I will gladly take my business elsewhere. read more

This is a really good and tasty Chinese fast food. Their prices are quite competitive, at $4.xx for a two item combo. One thing that I would change at this joint is their ventilation system, or lack thereof. I hate it when I come out of there after a tasty lunch smelling like I was sitting in a Chinese wok. You know the smell, the oil and smoke smell that lingers on your clothes. If they would only turn on their A/C or some kind of system, and it will make my dining experience much much better! read more

Wack Wack Express or Wacala Wacala Express. Yeah, it sucks! I ordered the small won ton soup and my daughter got noodles and chicken, in a bowl. $7+ My won ton soup was so gross! It tasted like dirty hot water. As if they added the water after they cooked the soup. The soup tasted fishy; only it didn't have any seafood. It was the worst I've ever had. I added lots of hot sauce and soy sauce to give it some flavor. It didn't help. I tried the noodles; they tasted old, hard, greasy and flavorless. Then I went for the fortune cookie... say what? Stupid fortune, "A bee with honey in it's mouth has a stinger full of poison" o_O The cookie tastes like Playdoh... seriously! Is it even edible? Never again.. It made my GAG list. read more

Yelp had this place on its list of recos, but there was something about this place that drew me in... ... and it turns out, I have actually been here before. But it has been about 30+yrs since, waaaaayyy before my Yelp years! (SIDE STORY: My GodMom and grandparents used to live a couple of blocks away from here and we often ordered food here back in the day.) They are incredibly popular. All their tables were occupied (granted, there were only three or four) but patrons coming through were non-stop. Staff were efficient as well because given the line (there were three people ahead of me) they got us outta there pretty quickly. I went for half white rice, half noods, black pepper chicken and fried chicken/wings. (NOTE: they packaged the wings separately so it doesn't get soggy from the black pepper sauce - love this!) They were good at providing disposable utensils as well as sauce packets. It didn't take long before I was on my way back to work. Noods had nice flavorful chew. Rice was fluffy. Fried chicken/wings was crispy and savory with a slight hint of sweet. But the black pepper chicken was AM.A.ZING!!! There was so much flavor packed in every bite and couldn't get enough of it! There wasn't a lot of fillers either, so that's a plus. Highly recommending this! FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 4. VALUE: 5. They give you enough for a second meal. PARKING: Lots of space shared with others. Not an issue. OVERALL: 4.5. I couldn't stop thinking about the black pepper chicken that I just had to come back the next day to have it again. Paired it with orange chicken on that second run. Not as great, but it is one of their more popular items. (Most people ahead of me ordered it and the pan got refilled during both visits.) So it was a delight coming through here again as it brought back tons of memories. I even remember making many stops at the laundromat next door. Also drove by my auntie's old house. Ahhhh, good times! I shall return! If only for the delicious black pepper chicken!

It took me a while to even consider returning but I'm glad I did. The owner of Fu Sing is related to the people who owned Tin Sing in Gardena years ago and after they closed, the only place you' could find anything similar was Paul's Kitchen in Downtown L.A. or Monterey Park (also closed). The pakkai (sweet sour pork) and almond duck were the absolute best. Fu Sing isn't quite as good as Tin Sing but it's as close as we're ever going to get again so I'm happy the bugs in the system have been worked out and I can order without aggravation. Some other specialties that were popular with the Gardena crowd were the steamed pork and the pork egg rolls which are like taking a stroll along memory lane. Hopefully they'll consider expanding into a full service restaurant rather than remaining a take out shop to bring back the Gardena experience that so many of my friends, family, and yes, even enemies enjoyed growing up.

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.

Service was slow initially to get seated. There were several empty tables but we waited for a few…read moreminutes before they were able to seat us. They're typically very busy when we go on a weekday night. But once we got seated, service was fine. I usually get the pork wontons with chili oil. It's flavorful and it's actually not really spicy. We got the braised Xinjiang Market Chicken with sliced noodle. Very big portion. It had potatoes and bell peppers too. Noodles itself was good texture, but the overall dish lacked some flavor. I ended up dipping my noodles in the chili oil sauce from the wontons just to get more flavor in it. Good place to come for simple dishes. Overall pricing is reasonable as well.

The wait times are super unpredictable. I have waited longer for an entree than it took for 2 parties to finish eating dinner. They served those tables despite my order going in first. When we got home, our order was wrong. :( That's frustrating but I learn. I will not order take out from them anymore.
