"When I worked in Torrance our office frequently ordered from here. Today we were in Torrance for a soccer tournament and my daughter wanted pizza. I was like there's this place we always ordered from when I worked here which is good. We ordered the family pack meal. Large two topping pizza. Garlic twists. Salad. And 4 drinks. After being at soccer field all day I ordered a glass of Bud Light. Was expecting at least a Pint. Seems like I got about 12 ounces in a tiny beer mug. Not worth 6.50 at all. It was very cold and delicious though. Overall the price here is was not bad under $10 a head. But how was the food you say!?!? Well the best thing was the garlic twists. Which really didn't have any garlic and just lots of butter snd Parmesan cheese. To say this was better than pizza tells you just how good the pizza was. There was a salad also. How was the salad you say!?!? It was lettuce, with shredded mozzarella, and four pieces of pepperoni on top. Not much of a salad. My daughters pet turtle may love all that lettuce though. Should not even be called a salad. Call it chopped lettuce head with your choice of dressing instead. The Large pepperoni and sausage pizza with onions and bell peppers on half, was just OK. Lacking flavor. Sausage was skimpy almost couldn't tell it was there. Sauce was skimpy. A little more sauce could have made it better. Again. Overall. Just ok. Nothing to say I really want to come back here again. Maybe other items are good. So would you go there again you ask me!?!? Ummm, For me it's like a Tootsie Pop and how many licks it takes to get to the center. The world may never know."

"Who doesn’t love a bit of mouth numbing watery ness? After living in Shanghai for years and being married to a Chinese man, it’s safe to say, I love Chinese food! We discovered this gem at a previous location in Garden Grove, and we instantly fell in love. The food will make you shout and the price point will make you shout even louder. Unfortunately, that location closed down so we had been waiting for an occasion to come up to Lomita from Orange County. We came up for our anniversary and it was worth every cent and mile. Taste: While I lived in Shanghai, I probably didn’t have the most authentic Sichuan cuisine, but for sake of argument, it was close enough. There is something about the 麻 (numbing) of peppercorns mixed with the heat of chilis. There are definitely dishes I like more than others, but I can’t say there was one bad choice on our table. Everything was simply amazing. Mushrooms, heat, 魔芋 (sorry, I don’t know how to say this in English), flavor, meat, and everything that came out of their kitchen was fire. Price: At first glance, each dish seems kind of expensive. Once they’re served, you’ll know you’ll be eating for days. We have a tendency to over order, so that meant lunch for us and our daughter the next day. We spent around $60 $70 for our meal. For authentic Sichuan cuisine, I didn’t feel this was all that bad. Again, this gave us leftovers that we happily garbled down the next day. So we’ll worth the cost. Recommendations: 口水鸡 mouth watering chicken (can’t remember how they translated it on the menu) 干果菌类 dry pot assorted mushrooms (Anything dry pot is amazing I also like it with frog) 水煮鱼 boiled fish in chili oil (by far my favorite anywhere I go) Other recommendations (didn’t have this time): 麻婆豆腐 tofu in a pork chili sauce 干煸四季豆 basically green beans (a big fav of mine) 牙签羊肉 the best lamb you’ll ever have 孜然羊肉 more lamb you’ll love but with cumin 泡椒木耳 wood ear mushroom is rubbery but filled with collagen for beautiful skin lol also good for vegetarians I could go on and on, but if you’re looking to venture outside of your typical Panda Express repertoire this is the place to go!"

"I'm here twice. First for their regular menu and second for their secret fusion menu. For their regular menu we have tried a variety of dishes. Some were moderate, but the majority was there. We started the meal with the free bread, which is extremely delicious. It came to dive with a saucer of balsamico / oil for you. I had to stop eating too much bread! (Then again I love hot fresh bread anyway, next was roasted baked mozzarella sticks (which I can no longer find in the menu). I was really quite surprised by them because the bread was perfectly crispy. Paired with the Marinara sauce, they were quite delicious. Our party ordered a variety of pasta dishes and pizza. I tasted every one of them to see how they were. The majority was all well-run courts. Can't say too much about them, they are all traditional Italian pasta dishes. But what came out was the Tri-Color Gnocchi and the Creamy Jambalaya Pasta. At first I wasn't a big fan of Gnocchi. I felt it was a bit over cooked, but if I think about it, I only loved Gnocchi once and that was a $25 dish in a super chic restaurant in New York. But I guess people like it, so try it. Secondly, the Creamy Jambalaya Pasta was amazing. I loved the burst of taste from the court. It has so much taste goes on, but only the right amount to make me want to eat it all. Unfortunately, I didn't order this... I was sad. Oh, a hint, this court has a decent amount of heat. We had to make reservations for the secret menu. They told us about some Risotto dishes that they tried, which are not officially on the secret menu, so we ordered a few to try. They told me not to talk about them either. But they were delicious and have to get them on the menu; Okay, that's gonna be long. The 2 dishes that were absolutely phenomenal and I want more of their Creamy Yuzu Fatuccine with grilled chicken and their fusion seafood pizza. Creamy Yuzu Fettuccine Honestly this dish is probably just the Fatuccine Alfredo with Yuzu, but they put the Yuzu in was perfect. With every bite you had the perfect amount of Yuzu taste without being overwhelming. It complemented the pasta perfectly. I really have to try to make this court myself. Merger Seafood Pizza When this court came out, I was not impressed. It didn't look like there was a lot of seafood on it and looked pretty bland, but when you took a bite, there was a TON seafood flavor. It's like they made seafood juice from the left over crabs/lobes/seafood innards and poured over the pizza. It was so tasty that I snapped around the table shortly after the round. (This was also the last piece, and the Asian custom, you should have it for a little at least you also had a Krn BBQ Bulgogi pizza and popcorn chicken pizza, but both were not available this time. If you want to try the things in the secret menu, register safely to make a reservation and ask yourself! Now at prices. I think most of these dishes went from 15-25~. Not the cheapest, but for something innovative, it is worth trying at least once. Now they only need a special menu...."
