Great food in a little restaurant attached to a hotel. Ramada I believe. Really great food. You should definitely go there.

So happy to have another good, authentic Chinese restaurant in Torrance! Singapore style rice noodles are very good - packed with shrimp and meat. XLBs also very good. Standout dish is the scrambled egg with yuba and luffa - doesn't sound that exciting, but it's a pretty perfect dish.

The Chinese food is amazing. Honestly we were surprised how good all the dishes they served. I've eaten lots of Chinese food, and it I know how good flavors can be. I won't say it is the best of the best but what is amazing is the all of what we ordered were about within top 3 of the best. All had unique flavors. Sorry my photos were late to get to as we were hungry and eating away.. after deciding the taste was great I decided it was worth photographing. Only complaint is the parking.. it is next to a hotel and the parking spot is far away.. I found worth the inconvenience.

Five of us came here for lunch and ordered the lunch specials. The portions are a bit smaller than regular entrées, but totally understandable for the price. We also got some shrimp & pork fried dumplings and sweet lotus roots with sticky rice in it. Overall, the food tasted good and the staff were friendly. Parking-wise, the restaurant only has two disabled parking spots directly in front. Most people just park at the Ramada right next door, which has plenty of available spaces, so it’s pretty convenient.

Update (Aug 2026): There's this one guy waiter that I think is rude, both in person and over the phone, which is really annoying, but I won't dock points because the other waiters are great. My favorite Chinese restaurant in Torrance! The food is so good. My favorite dishes are the stir fried pork with peppers and the sesame balls for dessert. They also have a pretty good lunch special M-F.
