Seafood Town Chinese Rstrnt

Seafood Town is a good place to go to enjoy authentic Chinese food. The prices are very reasonable and during the weekends, the place can be crowded, especially since they honor their lunch specials 7 days a week. The portions are generous. The decor can use some work as the floor is dirty sometimes. They offer takeout and can cater a party. more

I have eaten at Seafood Town Chinese restaurant several times now and I have always found their food to be good. I have noticed they use monosodium glutamate (msg) on their food though so if you’re watching your diet, you may need to be sure to tell them not to use msg on your order. They have a small parking lot in front but it can get filled up on when they are busy. more

Torrance has a huge and growing population of Chinese-Americans, many first generation and recent immigrants included. One result of this is that it has become a haven for outstanding, authentic, inexpensive Chinese food. Torrance is at the center of this foodie's delight, and Seafood Town is one of the busiest, best-known of the large, Hong Kong banquet hall restaurants. Through lunchtime, it's a luch special palace--serving a seemingly infinite number of different types of Chinese food. I could not keep track of all the sublime food being served so I just gave up and enjoyed the ride. Most of the clientele are local residents, as are the staff who do not speak much English. It was easier to just try a dish than get an explanation of what it was, which was okay since it was all delicious. For dinner the place is a seafood lovers paradise with lobster, crab and shrimp dishes abounding, and even more exotic fare like conch soup. There are a large number of excellent restaurants in the Torrance and Seafood Town is one of the best. For lunch special, if you arrive after noon, you may wait for up to an hour. Better to get there before 11:30am. more
