“We walked in greeted right away and attended. The person that helped us was really nice and welcoming. They served a really great portion. We got combo A , Combo B and 1 soda. It all came out to $20. Pretty reasonable comparing to other prices. The mushroom chicken, teriyaki chicken, and orange chicken was really tasty. Oh and the chow mein was my fav. I will definitely come back.Parking: Good amount“
“May not be the best Chinese food in the world, but it is good enough for when you want or a bunch of food that tastes good and you get enough to justify what you paid for. It will always be a last minute stop for when I don't really feel like cooking, but I don't want to spend a lot. A big plate can cover a couple meals or two people if you can agree on the sidesKid-friendliness: Not that many people eat there so there's usually tables for familyParking: There's plenty of parking but maybe just not at the front door because it is next to a Wingstop and a grocery store, but there is street parking right outside the Panda ExpressWheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair can definitely get there“
“2024 update: dined in for the first time and was underwhelmed with the food. Chickpea curry is decent, kaya toast is decent. The dan dan noodles are straight up not good! Extremely salty and fatty. Skipped dessert (unheard of for me) because the main dishes already made me feel so heavy and unhealthy.2022 takeout review: The laksa is incredible. It is easily two meals (can serve two people). I'm not a spice person and this was at the upper end of my spice tolerance but not too spicy. A side of clay oven bread is really good to dip in it. My only complaint was I ordered takeout and my order was ready 15 minutes later than the original estimate.“
“I love trying new vegan places but finding a new one where you would least expect, is awesome! Showed up around noon and the place was empty. The employees were really courteous and helpful and recommended a few items I should try which made ordering an easy choice. We (family of 5) ended up ordering 2 Chinese combo plates and a taco plate (one of each). Took about 15-20 min to make which isn’t too bad considering I didn’t call ahead. The Chinese food was good but the Taco plate was excellent!!! Definitely going back to try out more of the Mexican dishes. Plenty of parking.“
“Noodle dish was perfect ! Xiao lum bao or soup dumplings must have been lost in translation because that was 1000 miles away from what I know…..and to be fair it’s not on the menu. Eggplant chicken wouldn’t order again. Staff is very nice and of course quick. I’d come here again now that I know what they are good “
“Ruiji is a great visit for authentic Sichuan cuisine. They have some of the normal western dishes, but also some more authentic items you wouldn’t find at other Chinese restaurants. My friend got the General Tso and it was good, but a little on the sweet side for me. I prefer more savory and spicy when I order this dish. I got the Sichuan Popcorn Chicken. It was nice and spicy, salty, and savory with garlic and a nice amount of sichuan pepper and red chilis. I hope to try other dishes when I visit again.“
“We had such a phenomenal experience with Katarina at the bar… Katarina is an incredibly talented and thoughtful bartender. The drinks and the food were delicious and came out quick, and vegan friendly. We loved Katarina’s energy.Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie optionsDietary restrictions: I am vegan and had plenty of options.“
“been coming here for about 20 years. the main reason is the consistency of the food they serve here. over the years with travels, I have found higher quality and / or varieties at other local Chinese spots. However, if you want a tired and true experience, you can bank on Randy's.“
“This place is the perfect spot for inexpensive, filling Chinese-American food. It has two buffets, one with pre-cooked food and one with meat and veggies for the Mongolian BBQ. You pay by the weight of what you eat. But the buffet food seems fresh because the restaurant is busy. If you're craving orange chicken or similarly deep fried foods, this is the place.“
“For the ultimate Korean-Chinese dining experience in South Bay, look no further. Dive into authentic Jja Jang Myeon and Jjam Ppong at this must-visit establishment. Whether you're new to Korean cuisine or a seasoned foodie, it's the perfect starting point. Don't miss out on trying the Gan Jja Jang--it's a rare find with its smoky wok flavor, generous portions of diced onions and squash, and a less oily consistency compared to traditional Jja Jang Myeon. Highly recommended!“
“Pork xiao long bao: 4/5 Beef noodle soup: 4/5 Three cup chicken: 5/5 I was pleasantly surprised by dan modern chinese. We tried the classic pork xiao long bao, which were absolutely delicious - thin dumpling skin and loads of soup inside. The beef noodle soup was great as well. It's not the rich beef broth that I was expecting - it's more of a light, refreshing broth, but still very good! And finally the three cup chicken was super flavorful and delicious. Great service and a very nice ambiance.“
“After sailing in nasty conditions we pulled into marina del Rey and hoofed it over to this Chinese place for lunch. I had eaten there 20 years ago... that alone reveals they are doing something right... to survive decades in that trendy neighborhood is really something. When our delightful waitress found out we were sailors, she gave us some free stuff (strange anti-dirt lover mystical Chinese tea). She said we ordered too much food but we said we don't care- bring it! She was right we ordered too much but now we have leftovers. Anyway- in this day and age where prices have doubled and portions have evaporated, it is nice to eat at a place where the vibe is amazing and the food is abundant. We will be back!“
“You know a spot is good when the only menu displayed has faded photos of various dishes with no descriptions or dish titles. Only the real ones know. Every time I come here, I meet a local who’s been coming here since the 80s or 90s and it is so comforting to know that a place like this exists. Love the food, owner, consistency, quality, and history of this place.Run by one guy and one guy only, make sure to be patient while waiting for your order if it gets packed, maybe clean up the tables around you while you wait. Doesn’t hurt to help.“
“The duck is incredible!!! Period! My food was so good that I totally forgot to take a picture of my plate before I started eating ? I loved it and will go back! Wrist check, I am wearing the Seiko Presage Prestige SARX045 JDM release on the Hirsch Liberty leather strap.“
“This hole in the wall Taiwanese food is so surprised ? and authentic, no joke it’s authentic! And good! If you know what’s Taiwanese food is then you’ll so happy you tried them food ! ! Even if you’re in Taiwan you can’t find food this good often. We had large intestine, stinky tofu , oyster omelette, smoked pork tongue, braised pork rice and braised beef noodle. As an authentic Asian I have to say all of them ~so authentic and satisfied. Especially the large intestine is so tender and no stinky flavor at all! which is so enjoyable! So amazing!? order at here 2 times, the food always satisfied, you have to go and try. By the way the chef ?? (he is the owner) he was an engineer when he was in Taiwan. And his red sauce is also really good ?.“
“I've been coming here for the last 5 years. The portions are great and the soups are to die for. My go-to soup is the Liuzhou soup. Just a heads up, the establishment definitely caters to a majority Chinese crowd, so you know the food is legit. Be respectful and keep an eye out for your order number as they will probably announce it in Mandarin first lol“
“We tried the pan fried noodles with chicken, the mongolian beef and the sauteed string beans and all were delicious. And the service was kind of slow and I noticed a lot of people flagging the waitress down for their check but we'll definitely be back to try other dishes.“
“This is honestly our favorite take-out Chinese spot in Inglewood. It's been a staple here since the 80s. They give you huge portions for reasonable prices you won't find anywhere else.The food is always on point for your typical take-out. One time they forgot the appetizer we ordered and they gave us a credit for it the next time we came in. When we did, they gave us additional portions without us asking. It showed the owner cared.Yes, the ambiance hasn't changed since...the 80s, and the food isn't going to go above and beyond some of the places you'd find in Gardena or Chinatown but it's the typical spot you'd find everywhere across the East Coast when you need something quick, easy, and delicious. It's not trying to be trendy. The staff has always been helpful and kind.Check it out and grab some take out if you haven't.“
“Their food is soooo good with amazing portions. My only complaint is that they aren't connected with a delivery food service because I can't get down there as often as I would like... which is at least once a week... like right now.“
“Pretty solid America tuned Chinese food. Everything is really tasty and well made. Prices good for portion size. Parking lot and street parking (no meters). Service was efficient and pleasant. Recommended if in area and looking for some classic Chinese. Tables and boots inside.“
“I grew up eating at this place and I can sincerely say that I have never had better Chinese food. The service is also incredible, the two men know my family and even remember our orders. They've never once done us wrong. I absolutely recommend people try food from this place at least once. I guarantee it will be their new favorite Chinese food spot. Love the food, love the people.“
“I recommend the golden prime beef noodle soup (金汤肥牛面) with flat noodles (noodles and broth were my favourite part of the dish).We also had the lamb skewers - the quality of meat was good, but it had a bit too much spice on them.Lastly, the service was great!“
“I hadn't been here for many years until last weekend (April 6th). And I am so glad we found it again. We went there specifically to celebrate our son's 49th birthday at his request. The selection of dim som was very large AND very good; some of the best I've ever had. There were 9 of us & each of us found a selection to suit our desires, & as noted, each & every choice was better than the last. There were the usual dumplings & veggie choices but also a large selection of stuff I never saw before (& can't spell) like tripe & chicken feet. I can go on & on but needless to say, EVERYONE was satisfied to the nth degree. Service was attentive, friendly & knowledgeable. The eating environment was bright & clean; nothing outstanding, but you don't eat ambiance as I'm fond of saying. Some of the places that the late Johnathan Gold of the LA Times loved were real dives. This place didn't fall into that category but it was more than acceptable. I highly recommend this place especially for dim som lovers.“
“For friendly Fast Food this is a great spot. I highly recommend you try their orange chicken. I got Combo A half chow mein, half fried rice with Orange Chicken, all for just $8! They offer Thai Iced Tea also, which I'm going back tomorrow to try! :)“
“Flavor is good, they use a lot of garlic. Amount was enough but not for big appetites. Price is in average of Panda Express.Food was barely warm , and when is raining you just want your food hot. Service was good, they do not ask for tip, that is voluntary. Dining room is ok, chairs are for fast people, do not try to stay more than 15 min or pay your rent. I’ll be back but I’ll ask the waitress to please tell people staff be sure my delicious food is hot and healthy. I just realized, that must be keeping over 135 f degrees to be healthy, right?Anyway I’ll be back because I love garlic as a seasoning. Thank you“
“I absolutely love this place! They serve the finest hot and sour soup in LA, and their fried rice is simply exceptional. It's my preferred spot for delicious Chinese cuisine. The online service is friendly and accommodating. They prepare all their dishes fresh, and what I appreciate most is that they personalize the spice and sourness of the soup and rice just for me. Highly recommend!“
“Consistent, great food, feels delicious, healthy and nourishing. Menu is pretty small, which means to me that they do what they do well and dont have to wow you with quantity and diversity. Even though it's a modest menu, the choices are great. All around one of my favorites. Also, service is always great.“
“Abundant amount of food. The chowmein isn’t like any ordinary spot, it’s more like a chicken stir fried and is bomb. The rice is decent but the sides are amazing. I recommend orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, and the bbq pork is one of the best I’ve ever had. This spot is one of the only that still makes sweet n sour pork which is why I go. They don’t have a fountain drink machine tho which kinda blows but ain’t w deal breaker .“
“Santa Monica's Chinese gem excels in takeout brilliance. Swift service, generous portions, and vibrant flavors define each dish. Despite the takeout-only format, every bite is a testament to their commitment to freshness and quality. A must-try for a quick, flavorful culinary escape.“
“This is my go to place when I have a cold or not feeling well. I always order the Large Shrimp Wonton Soup (Spicy) it has ginger in it!!! It is Amazing. It always makes me feel better. Try It you’ll love it too! Guaranteed ? The Customer Service is Awesome as well.“
“Stumbled onto this place after missing my flight and I must say, some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a while! Definitely softened the blow of my travel snafu. Will be ordering from here in the future and maybe come early for flights just to grab a bite!“
“Great place to stop in for good food. The ladies behind the counter are super nice and friendly. I always get orange chicken and theirs did not disappoint. I’m not a big chow mein fan, but I ate all of it with my 1 item combo. Almost all of the other customers ordered the wings, they looked delicious, but was more that I could eat.“
“quiet peaceful place The workers are also very friendly and take their work seriously.Parking: There are paid hourly training sessions and a waiting area for passengers in total it will be difficult to park there if you want the car to be right next to that very restaurant“

“Their Seafood Noodle soup is the best ? it's made fresh and has lots of vegetables like I request. If you like the shrimp and fish, they will always accommodate with more of the meat. I prefer more veggies. I've gone to them since 2019 during the pandemic, and they're great with the freshly cooked items.“
“First time found it through yelp I'm trying to go to more small businesses and find places that can accommodate me. I got the orange chicken because it didn't have soy and the person I was with got the Mongolian beef with noodles. I ordered on the phone the person was very sweet and knowledgeable and very considerate about my allergies. Everything arrived very sealed tight in plastic accept for my orange chicken and it had a cool opener the radish it looked like it was seasoned with ginger. It came with a side of rice. I felt I didn't really need the rice because the orange chicken was so flavorful. I like the idea of Korean Chinese fusion! Definitely will be coming back here.“
“I forgot to take pictures before but 10/10 amazing.Let's start with our server Paulina. The best is an understatement. Paulina was so friendly from the start, welcomed us with a smile, answered ALL and I do mean ALL our questions, gave us recommendations and popular orders.We ordered the house special soop, it was really good. The meat was perfectly cooked and melts in your mouth.The pork soup dumplings, pork shrimp chives dumplings, and the veggies dumplings were perfect, full of flavor.We will definitely be back.Picture is what was left of our food...nothing...“
“Tastes like Mommas cooking, lots of flavor & love when it comes to making food over here. Shrimp fried rice is excellent, Chicken is not boingy if that nice and crispy. Delicious meals, great customer service, and happy people, How can you not love them ? Definitely Recommend this Restaurant.“
“I love this place my uncle has been taking me here since I was little and now have grown up and take my kids with me to get take out! It truly is the best authentic spot I can think of the walnut shrimp, 3 favor kung pow, Orange chicken, chicken chowmein, war wonton soup, all of it is delicious and cooked with love and authinticy! ?“

“The service was fast and good. The waiter gave us some additional time to go over the menu and returned promptly when we were ready to order. The food came out fast and was hot. Fried rice was not greasy. Restaurant was clean and no wait time. Definitely will come back and try the noodles.“
“Their lunch specials are great especially when you need something fast, affordable, and nearby. Their service is good, but they're not the friendliest people, but they're a mom and pop shop with their kids working so what do you expect. Anyways I'm not there for small talk or to make friends or anything. Most of their food is good I like everything there minus the salt and pepper fish filet nothing like the other Chinese restaurants. It's a to-go place so no dining in. Sometimes there's a line, but they're pretty fast. I like how it's walking distance from my house too“
“Went there for lunch with some folks! It was amazing! Ordered all the food and sat down, got a couple of tables together and boom!The food came in waves! Just one dish after another!The staff was so friendly! Super nice!Awesome experience. Great setup. Order and get yourself the plates and utensils and to go boxes and bags. AwesomeOnly thing that sucked was parking. But we found some meters so boom!Parking: Parking is shared with a bar. There was none when we went.“
“The food is good but it is not worth the price. I got the pho combination which was 16 dollars. I would not mind the price but they are stingy with the meat. I would not bother coming back when there are so many other options that are worth the price of admission.“
“We've been watching the 5th season of TOC, and it encouraged us to finally visit, and we were not disappointed. Food is freshly served, delicious, and every bite was tasty. Service was excellent. They were friendly, helpful, and attentive. We'll definitely be returning, Cheeseburger dumplings were our favorite. And the passion fruit yogurt smoothie was exceptional.Parking: We parked across the way parking was $2 for the entirety of our meal, so it was completely reasonable.“
“This is a fast Chinese food spot food is not horrible but it's not the best. It is one of the better and cleaner looking Chinese food locations I've been to. The service is fast if you're gonna order from the pre made food there and the portions are huge for a good price. If you're gonna order off the menu i recommend ordering that first it will take a little bit longer to get that out. Inside looks a lot better looks like it's been painted and got new signs on the walls. Decent spot good service and fast food.“
“One of the best galbi tang I've had and not just in the South Bay, but all of LA. I've been to plenty of places in Ktown and I still prefer Hansol. The portion is huge, bachan is delicious, and the meat is juicy. They give you two giant ribs per portion. I can't speak to anything else on the menu since this is all I ordered, but my friend also enjoys their chicken katsu. 100% worth coming. To go is equally good. Great for a cold day!“
“Everyone gets the peking duck here! The duck is roasted well - crunchy skins, barely any fat remaining under the skin. The meat, as Shirley H. wrote in her review, is mild in flavor, different from the Cantonese version or the smoked tea duck that I prefer. I like that they use the traditional thin crepes for the dish; it's served along with the shredded cucumber, beets, and green onions. In addition, the duck order comes with a choice of a dish made with the bone - either soup with duck bones, tofu, and Napa cabbage, or deep fry salt & pepper duck bones. We opted for the soup, which came at the end of the meal, and offered a satisfying wrap to the meal. Pro-tip: pre-order the duck a day ahead!We ordered two additional dishes and together, these were perfect for our party of four:- rainbow skin: a cold noodle salad dish- stir fry eggplant and string beans All in all, a solid Beijing restaurant, decent prices too!“
“Love, love, love this place! Pro tip - park in the back rather than on Crenshaw Blvd, mainly because there are more spots there. This is the Chinese food that I'm most used to and it is a comfort food. The salad was great and the fried chicken even better. I always get take out since it looks like there is minimal seating in the restaurant, but that's okay. The ladies working there always seem happy and aim to please. Great place!“
“Amazing flavor, beautiful ambiance, friendly and knowledgeable staff! We took my mother out of a birthday diner and all she wanted was good quality Chinese food and Lotus Asian grill hit every mark. Family friendly portions with food that is bursting with flavor. By far some of the best Asian-American cuisine we have had! Their prices are more than competitive especially with how tasty the food was. Our server Mike greeted us with a warm smile and was very attentive to us! 10/10 would recommend and definitely will be back. Thank you Lotus for an amazing experience.“
“Good food but wish it was covered due to flies and cus people get it them selves.. Busy and not a lot of seats.. There Thai Tea are the best.. Plate average cost about $10 price is based on how much your plate weights.. Mushrooms are good and so is the coconut shrimp food can be a little greasy but for the most part all Chinese food is..Kid-friendliness: There are vegetarian options like the mushrooms,green beans, fried banana, white rice, veggie roll, etc..“
“I've been coming here for a few years and the food is always great and the service is always wonderful. They're so helpful and welcoming. It's just a straight up, old school, Chinese restaurant serving up the classics. Portion sizes are pretty big and always tasty. I have not had a bad experience here yet. Nothing bad to say about this place at all.“
