Tasty China — Restaurant in Torrance

So excited to try out this new Chinese restaurant opened about a month ago, and surely it didn’t disappoint!

All the dishes we ordered were excellent, and we immediately wanted to come back again to try out more things. We overheard the next table saying the same thing, the lady loved her food so much, she picked up and licked her plate, in front of her kids!

Of the dished we ordered, they were all delicious, my favorites were the cumin lamb, very tender and flavorful, highly recommended if you like lamb.

The Shrimp XLB was also excellent, wrapped with a good sized shrimp.

Meatball was also refreshing and heart/stomach warming like a soup. I’d recommend ordering 1 to share for 2 people so you can enjoy other dishes.

The restaurant generally looked the same as the previous place, they probably painted and redecorated a little to make it feel newer.

The service was excellent, May, our server, was such a delightful and helpful person. May told us the weekend is very busy, with many coming for XLB and other dim sum items. We went on a Friday night, it was busy but not super full.

Parking: plentiful parking, since it’s combined with the hotel, you might have to go further to the back. It’s good to see the lighting in the hotel seems to have been updated to be...

My new favorite Chinese restaurant in Torrance!! The original restaurant known as Lee's Kitchen recently got replaced with Tasty China. Not that Lee's kitchen was bad but Tasty China is on a whole new level.

They have amazing soup dumplings (shao long bao) that I dare say is better than ding tai fungs version. Double the size, thinly wrapped and hot out of the steamer.

They also have amazing pan fried pork buns that are just as juicy as the soup dumplings with a crispy sesame bottom and a thing outer shell.

Definitely get the dried pot cauliflower, which is a must order. The dish is spicy in all three right ways with the mouth numbing sensation that really gets your mouth watering after every bite. The dish does come with thinly sliced pieces of pork so not 100% vegetarian.

The beef onion pancake is also a heavy hitter that is a small dish that is packed with a ton of meat and full of tender beef and hoisen sauce.

The dan dan noodle was deliciously cooked with aldente noodles, minced beef and hot oil for ththat perfect combination.

Overall I have been more than impressed with every dish I have tried at Tasty China and will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Parking sucks, but service...

The pork xiao long bao were large and exceptionally juicy and delicious...the best we have eaten anywhere. The beef onion pancakes are filled with seasoned beef, onion and cilantro. They are served cold and are on par with those served at other restaurants we patronize.

The lamb in gold soup with noodles included bok choy and was a large portion. We asked for mild spicy, but the broth was a little too spicy for my taste. My husband was okay with the spice level, but he found it unremarkable.

I enjoyed the dry sauteed well seasoned string beans which still had a nice crunch. My husband said a few of the string beans were too crunchy. The pork pan fried buns had a good amount of juice, but we preferred the pork xiao long bao.

The servers were prompt in taking our order. They responded quickly to requests for tongs, providing special chopsticks and to pack up the leftover soup. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean.

The restaurant was very busy, filled with diners and conversation. I can see why it is popular. We will return to try other entrees.
