SoCal hot weather needs a spicy kick. 🔥🥵🫢 And this time, the spicy kick brought us to Torrance in the South Bay. First, we started with the Chengdu Roast Duck. Just look at this HUGE bowl!!!! 🤯 The spiciness was no joke. 🌶️🔥 It came with noodles, potatoes, Spam, veggies, and so much more inside. such a unique dish !! Other spicy favorite is the shredded pork Perfect for mild spicy meat lover! Up next was the Chicken with Cashew Nuts. Something non-spicy to balance out our taste buds. 😝 And of course we had to get the Shrimp Fried Rice. YES the wok hei !! And it is also packed with shrimp🍤🤣!! Does the Coconut lava ball count as dessert or appetizer? Well it matches with your meal anyway😝 IG: socalhkfoodies

As someone who lives out by Hermosa Beach, I’m honestly excited that I can finally drive just 20 minutes and get really good Sichuan-Hunan food. And the portions are seriously generous for the price. We ordered the Spicy Bullfrog, and I was genuinely shocked when it arrived. The portion was huge, completely covered in red chili oil and looked incredibly impressive. The spice level had a great kick without being overwhelmingly hot, and they definitely didn’t skimp on the frog. Every bite had plenty of meat, and the dish was loaded with vegetables and add-ins. Honestly, it felt more like a hot pot than a regular entrée, and it’s easily enough for two or three people to share. The Minced Pork with Pickled Long Beans was exactly what we wanted with rice. Super comforting and incredibly rice-friendly. You could tell the chilies were fresh, and I’m pretty sure this place isn’t using premade dishes. The kitchen was full of the sounds of stir-frying and wok cooking, which honestly sounded like music to my ears. Fresh ingredients cooked to order are already a huge plus for someone living in the South Bay. I highly recommend the Stir-Fried Pork with Peppers. It’s different from the style

So happy to have something like this on the west side—no more driving to SGV every weekend 🙌 The food is legit, portions are generous, and prices are actually pretty reasonable. They just added crawfish 🦞 (yes, crawfish in LA!)—$28 for 2 lbs and $57.9 for 5 lbs, which is a great deal. Some highlights for me: • Hunan-style stir-fried chicken 🌶️ – easily one of the best I’ve had in LA. Super flavorful, tangy + spicy, and lots of meat. • Grilled fish 🐟 – very rich and loaded. Comes with tons of sides (tofu puffs, veggies, glass noodles) plus fish balls and spam, which is a nice surprise. • Hunan rice noodles 🍜 – not too oily, very balanced, and packed with toppings (shrimp, pork, beef, egg). Portion is HUGE—def enough for 3–4 people for ~$18. Their stir-fry dishes are also well priced (~$20–26) and portions are solid 👍 Honestly feels like better value than a lot of SGV spots. They also have roast duck (huge portion, a bit salty for me) and milk tea 🧋, which is perfect if you need something to cool down—the food here definitely leans spicy 🌶️ It was already pretty busy when I went, with a short wait and lots of pickup orders. Feels like this place is going to get popular soon 👀 O

Hidden gem in the Torrance area and the dishes are authentic. Love the Chengdu style roasted duck and it’s was a big portion. I was ordered the shredded eel and it tasted so good. Totally would come back again. The restaurant is pretty small but clean. It’s more like a family style restaurant and the service was great.

Everything was made fresh to order, and you can really taste the difference. The wok hei was strong, and every dish came out hot and flavorful. The hot stir-fried beef was super tender, and the hot stir fried double was a must try. Even the non-spicy options were well balanced and not bland,kids love them. If you love bold, freshly cooked Hunan food with real heat, this spot is worth checking out. Will definitely be back.
