Little China Restaurant — Restaurant in Gardena

Update: This place never disappoints. The food taste is consistent and hit the spots each time. Tried majority of their lunch special and I can say - you can't go wrong here.

Few things I highly recommend trying: "Mixed vegetable dish" - it's HUGE, has mustard sauce (for a little zing, but can request to be on a side if you do not like it), thinly sliced vegetables and meat. All mixed and tied together with super chew (translucent) noodles Garlic Fried Chicken - super flavorful (Korean) fried chicken. Just be careful when eating the it as there are crushed bones.

Highly recommend the place. A hidden gem in a tiny plaza, that's close by shopping markets. Swing by here to get lunch/dinner after your groceries.

We tried 3 dishes and all were delicious.

Jia Jiang Mian - noodles in black soybean sauce and small chunk of pork (they have vegetarian version too). The sauce is on a more "watery" side and lighter flavored than other place I have eaten. However, the sauce clings well to super springy noodles (very al dente) and sweet onions are nice, tender, and sweet. It was a nice change and hit my craving for this dish as it paired super well with

Sweet and Sour pork - the pieces were super crispy and there is plenty of them in the serving. The sour/sweet sauce was well balanced and not too over powering. As to veggies, your usual suspects of green peppers, onions, and pineapple.

Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) - I got this mild, but all I can say is... GET IT. It has super deep seafood flavor, smoky, well seasoned. I can say the ingredients were cooked in the wok first then noodles + soup was added in the bowl. Highly recommend.

I also thoroughly enjoyed their homemade kimchi and serving of hot tea.

The prices for the area is adequate and I will definitely coming back to try more dishes.

PS. They can split the order of (both) noodles for easy sharing from...

Best Korean-Chinese dishes I had in USA, no joke.

I was visiting LA from out of state and ordered their delicious black bean noodles and spicy noodles using doordash. The food was great and the noodles were fanatic. Black bean noodles had perfect balance of sweet and savory while the spicy noodles had the perfect amount of kick to it while staying warm.

Also, I have to talk about their cabbage kimchi which comes for FREE as a side dish. Their western style cabbage kimchi was unbelievable and I wasn't expecting it from the first place. It was better than any cabbage kimchi I had in Korea and one must try it if you are a fan of any type of kimchi.

Also, the lady over the phone was so nice. I made a mistake in my order (because I'm dumb and can't read menus correctly) but the lady corrected my order without any fuss. Bless her.

I would be coming back to this place if I ever come back to LA again. Truly a gem of a place and must try for a hungry...

BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT AROUND!!! great service and great food! My mom has been going here for quite a while, and they know her by name . Always very friendly and fresh hot and delicious food..

12/28/2022 I can never say anything bad about the food here it is beyond delicious. Although the service has gone down the drains! For example, today, the server tried taking another tables order before ours, and the table told him we were there first. We need a refill for our drinks and i.am.litterally waving a napkin and using the reflection in the mirror. Another table sat down by us, and the mother turned her chair say "can we order now!" Same for behind me as well. The customer was saying," Excuse me over and over, finally he got up, and can you help me. This is also our second visit with service like this. I told my mom we can try it one more and if the service is the same it's time to.find a...
