50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Manhattan Beach

“We went to Dan Modern Chinese on a Thursday evening around 7:15pm. We had called earlier and were told there wasn’t a need to make reservations. When we got there, they had several tables available and we were seated immediately. The restaurant looks nice from the outside and was also very clean, roomy and comfortable inside. The restaurant doesn’t try to be a fancy affair, rather a casual spot and the furniture reflects it. That’s not a criticism, just a choice they made and it works really well.

Service was quick, friendly and efficient. We got our drinks orders in and it came out quickly. The menu had clearly marked options for vegetarians We then placed our food order. They appear to bring out food as it becomes ready rather than sequencing the meal, so if you prefer a sequence, you should infor your server.

The taste of the food was OK. While I don’t think anything was bad, it wasn’t great either. We asked for chili oil to try and spice it up a little.

Overall, I’d say an average on taste, great service and decent atmosphere. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, casual, modern Chinese restaurant!!“

“Panda Express is one of the most reasonably priced chain restaurants with fabulous nutritious and delicious food. My only issue was that the wok fried shrimp was a little too spicy for me. I note that I really have very little tolerance to hot spicy dishes. I would have liked some warning that the wok fried shrimp had chili in it. Nevertheless, I added some plain rice to my meal when I got home and it was fine. My friend happily eats chili and he loved his meal.“

“I definitely recommend the chocolate xiao long bao“

“Had a great meal! Forwent ordering potstickers in order to try the enticingly named Gang of 4 ×4 - a delicious decision! The Mao's Hometown was just-right spicy, and I'm sure they put more than $2 extra shrimp on my order. Service friendly and prompt, loved the art. I felt as though I had wandered back into college in the early '70s.“

“Best little place in town!!! So sad to see them closing, so happy I got one last fantastic meal!!!“

“The dumplings taste really good. Unlike many other places, their dumplings are really juicy and the juicy won't leak out until you bite into it. The service staff are very helpful. They refill my water when the glass is half full. The food comes out fast.“

“nice place, food was delicious and good service“

“We stopped in for the first time while we were at the mall, and we were absolutely blown away by how tasty the food was. Our server, Win, was so sweet and helped us with a couple of recommendations. The food comes to the table really fast, and everything was bursting with flavor. I’m kind of blown away by this little hidden gem within the mall. If you like Din Tai Fung, which many of us do, I think this is an awesome place to add to the rotation—or maybe even replace it!“

“Our new local watering hole with a great selection at the bar and DELICIOUS eats!“

“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.“

“Elite takeout from here today.

Orange Chicken was fantastic. Not too sweet, nice and crispy, and quality chicken.

Mongolian beef was probably my second favorite. Also tried the Singapore Rice Noodle and House Chow Fun, the latter of which had perfectly cooked shrimp.

Amazing egg rolls as well. Overall really good takeout for a solid price.“

“Wow this place was so good! This was my first time here was recommended by a coworker! Wow my taste buds were so happy I ate here. Flavor in every bite. I also had an old fashioned here and I was thinking about that drink for 2 days! I would tell you run don’t walk run and grab a seat and eat here whenever you get a chance.“

“Fu Sing is some of the best food in this city. The egg rolls (either chicken or pork) are crispy and flavorful. The wonton soup is top notch. I haven’t had a disappointing dish yet. The owner is a great guy. Glad to have them so close. Note this is just take out.“

“Just tried Guilin rice noodles for the first time and I’m absolutely obsessed! The broth is incredibly fragrant and soul-warming, with a subtle spicy and savory depth that keeps you wanting more. The rice noodles themselves are silky-smooth and have the perfect chewy texture. Topped with crispy pork, peanuts, fresh herbs, and a hint of pickled vegetables—each bite is a beautiful balance of flavors and textures.
It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for something comforting and delicious, Guilin rice noodles will not disappoint. Highly recommend giving it a try!“

“I love this place great place to eat and great service“

“I love their Porridge with pork and century egg/duck“

“Very good food and excellent service“

“Chowking (131 W Carson St, Carson, CA 90745) never disappoints! The Beef Wonton Noodles are flavorful and comforting, perfect for satisfying any craving. The Sago’t Gulaman and Naicha Milk Tea are refreshing and perfectly balanced in sweetness. Their Halo-Halo is a must-try — creamy, colorful, and filled with all the classic Filipino ingredients. And the Taho is just like home — warm, soft, and sweetly nostalgic.

Overall, great food, friendly service, and a clean, inviting atmosphere. Definitely a 5-star experience for anyone craving authentic Filipino-Chinese comfort food!“

“불맛 짬뽕 맛집~~“

“Small hidden gem for the area. CASH ONLY and the not very detailed menu are the only issues people may have with, but the food quality, portion and pricing are amazing. The sweet grandpa is just the nicest soul you’ll meet. Not the best English but more than enough to get by and take your order. Please support this business if you’re ever in the area! They offer take out but I recommend dining in for the fresh made food and sauces“

“This place is so good. We decided to try it for the first time, we ended up with the wrong order but they were very kind and remade the order correctly for us. Let me tell you, this is some of the best food I’ve had in a while! There is a bit of a wait but the wait is worth it. When the chef brought order out for us he was so excited and asked us to try it in front of him because he was so proud of his food. Anyone who is proud of what they make makes amazing food“

“Had a wonderful experience last night with my family to celebrate my 60 year wedding anniversary. Food and service were the best! I always enjoy dining here because everything is delicious and they always make you feel welcome.“

“This has been my favorite spot since the 80s (i'm 42). I've always loved their little chicken wings and chow mein. Even now as an adult and having lived all over California, I've yet to find a place that compares. This is a must stop for me every time I go visit family and I absolutely crave it when I'm not there.
the appearance is old and half shut down, but the Chinese food counter is still going strong. Big portions, delicious food, and great prices. And as a bonus: they are still selling the Orange Julius that I had when I was little too. I dont know how long they've been in business but since i remember them from when i was little, I can safely say at least 40 years and still Killing it.
Love you guys!“

“Chinese comfort food. Good serving size, they will stuff your container full. The Kung Pao Chicken and black pepper chicken are great. They have wings too and lots of other options. I will be going back to try it all. Good price as well. Support local and try it next time instead of Panda! I still like my Panda Orange chicken tho! Do an Amazon return at the UPS next door, or get some chinese food after your return! The neighborhood is part of the charm. No judgements here just live yo life!!!“

“THE LADY IS VERY FRIENDLY WHEN I GO EAT THE PLACE HONG COMBO I TELL THE LADY I ONLY GOT $5 AND $6 I WANT THE FRIED RICE THE LADY GIVES ME TWO ITEMS OF CHICKEN SPICY CHICKEN OR THE PEPPER CHICKEN THE PLACE IS LOCATED ON 1347 WEST FLORENCE GOOD CHINESE HONG KONG FOOD LOVE I“

“I had a really good meal at Juicy Dumpling Factory! The soup dumplings were solid and packed with a lot of juicy broth. I also tried the pan-fried dumplings, and those were probably my favorite—they’re crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and just fun to eat.

The cucumber salad was bomb and super refreshing. I also ordered the beef noodle soup, and I was pleasantly surprised. The noodles were bouncy, tasted fresh, and the broth had a lot of flavor. It looks spicy, but it’s actually much milder than I expected, which made it easy to enjoy.

Overall, a great spot if you’re craving dumplings and comforting noodle dishes. I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu!“

“Highly recommend this hole in the wall Chinese place. Great customer service - they treat you like family. I ordered the bbq pork fried rice, but they have a wide menu to pick from. Everything I’ve tried here tastes amazing. If you want Chinese food in your area, this is the place to go.“

“Dan Modern is our first choice
For light Chinese in a great environment.. The food is seasoned at a reasonable level and it is consistent. We love the fresh string beans- for a minute they changed their source and the beans were stringy but they are back to the crisp tasty beans without the annoying strings. Love the Dan noodles and the chicken dishes are well cooked and seasoned at the right level without being annoyingly
Sauces. The environment is great, upscale, easy parking and centrally located on the west side of town. It gets crowded and there’s a lot of takeout pick up - The only area for improvement is managing the takeout process along with properly greeting guests, who are going to dine in - All of that is done in one central location, sometimes the pick up drivers are pushy because they have a time crunch while dine in guests just want a leisurely meal. Other than that, Dan Modern is highly recommended as a family favor for us“

“My dad and I went here because it sounded delicious. I must say, this is probably THE best Chinese cuisine in Pedro. The staff were pleasant, and the service was quick. We ordered chicken chowmain, kung-po chicken, pork and crab soup dumplings, and egg rolls. With this wide variety food, I can easily say that it was all fantastic! I will be coming back HUNGRY!!“

“Absolutely loved the braised beef noodle soup—rich, flavorful, and perfectly comforting. The beef was tender and the broth had amazing depth. The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming, and the restaurant was very clean. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“Visited the Redondo Beach locations and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. My friend and I came for lunch and boy were we pleasantly surprised. The food was high quality and our server, Michael, couldn't have been nicer. We will be regular customers.“

“Good food and wonderful people Angela was so kind I saw them giving free food to homeless people which shows what great people they are, their prices are very reasonable too.I asked for something extra but Angela didn't charge me for it she just smiled and said it's okay you don't have to pay we need to support local businesses like this highly recommended“

“The malatang here was really satisfying! The broth was flavorful, rich, and had the perfect level of spice. I liked that there were many ingredients to choose from, and everything tasted fresh. The portion was generous, the service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving something warm, spicy, and comforting.“

“I tried this today for the first time and it was awesome. Takes me back to when I was younger- my mom would always get Chinese food on her way home from work. The prices are extremely fair- and I loved the atmosphere. Very old school type of place. Loved it. Thank you so much.

I got teriyaki chicken, chow mein, and 2 egg rolls, all great flavors and good price.“

“Had cravings for chow mein and orange chicken driving back, didn’t realize this place is close to home.
NOODLES are BUSSIN’ !! You can taste the wokhi in the noodles that’s why I’m making this review. Portions are generous and the service is lovely.

We ordered the 2 item combo
Orange chicken / pepper chicken
Thai tea is solid to add !
Total: $18 letsgoo“

“Every thing look so yummy n fresh ... Every body pls join n try it at Chinatown Express“

“Why they only have 4.2 I'll never know. Literally the best spot for a Chinese buffet, not because they have endless options but because they have the right amount of options and theyre clean.
One of the greatest positives for me is the fact that for the options they do have, not a single item was too oily, or too sweet, or too cold, or anything negative that usually makes you feel gross after eating at a buffet. Handrolled sushi/nigiri included in the buffet especially with expensive options like eel is amazing.
My partner and I went yesterday afternoon and were talking about when we would go back again.
Our only 1 request, just a single 1. Was for them to upgrade the chow mein noodles. As they were not gross or cold or anything like that but they were like spaghetti being pale and skinny instead of usual brownish thick noodles. That was all.
5/5 please don't get too famous or raise prices“

“I was sick and craving a soup and let me tell you this place didn’t disappoint. I ordered the wonton soup with shrimp and the noodle soup with vegetables and they were both delicious, the broth is flavorful and they are generous with the serving.“

“​This place is an exceptional value. The food is consistently delicious, portion sizes are great, and the prices haven't skyrocketed like everywhere else. A rare spot where quality and affordability actually go hand in hand. Easily a regular go-to.“

“OMG, there's a little gem in Hawthorne that is OG Chinese food with authentic people making it happen. No disrespect. Beautiful food cooked with care. 😋🔥 I forgot to take a picture it was so good. 8/2026 My 2nd visit and again the food was excellent. Large portions and authentic taste. I won't take so long between visits.“

“Vanessa N. was so sweet greated us with a smile and a wonderful personality.. She was so calm and professional easy to talk to. My wife and I enjoyed Vanessa recommendation. Definitely will be coming back again. We enjoy the food. Great portions, very clean kitchen and bathroom Music and Air-condition set perfect. Not to loud actually carry a conversation at your table and still able to hear your spouse or friends. Vanessa really added a special part to this great restaurant. Prices are very reasonable $ Ask for Vanessa N if you want amazing service. Thank you for making are first visit amazing.“

“I order from No. 1 Chef often via Postmates. Something went wrong this time (not their fault, their computers were down), so my hubby and I took a quick trip to pick up our order. The lady was SOOOO nice and helpful over the phone. With that said, the food here is top notch! When I need comfort food, I get the egg flower soup and dumplings. The soup is ALWAYS hot and fresh and just feels like a hug. I've also ordered the egg fu yun, and trust this place is NOT stingy on the portions. Everything I've had has never disappointed. Yes, it may look like a hole in the wall, but if you want the kind of Chinese food that satisfies, give this place a try.“

“Came in to the restaurant while on vacation with family and the food was delicious, but our waitress Jasmine made the experience sooo much better! I’ve never been here before and she definitely sold it for me. Excellent job Jasmine. Will be coming back before we leave for sure!“

“Here's what I want in a Chinese restaurant:
Owned and operated by Chinese (yes)
A BIG menu (yes)
Fried things, steamed things, grilled things (yes)
Vegetables, lots of vegetables (yes)
A not previously frozen (not sure but there's is meh)
At least 3 soups (yes)
I don't get a headache or need to drink a ton of water (yes)
Leftovers (yes)

Is it the best Chinese place ever? No, I'm not tasting 5-spice powder, whatever New York or San Francisco have going on, this place doesn't, but what's really important is it's the best in a 3 city radius. I highly recommend it if you don't want to drive.“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“Maybe ordered too much for one person first time lol
steamed dumplings and mixed ox stew were Ok, not too bad nor good enough
But the shrimp rice roll was the best one I’ve ever had in LA, highly recommend ❤“

“We're traveling through & wanted good Chinese takeout & found this wonderful restaurant. The best egg rolls & pork ribs ever. We ordered so much food we brought it back to NM with us.
Also there's a bakery next door!“

“Service fast Great food!!!! Being from Chicago we were unsure n went on Yelp-This restaurant came highly recommended“

“😁😁😁 Great service! Super nice lady went out of the way to help. Saw other customer trying the sauces even, through small containers..mini cups. Get free drink or egg roll as well..has Strawberry Fanta...low price compared to other places and piled on food to big container.“

“This place is amazing! I went there today and the lady who served me was so nice with great service, she even gave me a free coke! And the food was so good! I got the combo B. The chow mein and fried rice was delicious. But the bbq pork and orange chicken were another level, amazing food! And at a great price with massive portions. So glad I randomly stopped by, 100% recommend.“
