Chinesology@Central Hong Kong ★★★

Incredible Elevated Chinese Fusion Tasting Menu. Director Chef Saito does his magic. Because of connection with the restaurant, we were able to provide our own ingredients. Fish Maw was from my Father-in-Law. Soft and smooth. Shark's Fin was heritage from my late Grandmother. Crisp and refreshing. The special ingredients we provided held a special connection in my heart. An enchanted meal that I will never forget. Great selection of cocktails. $1,688 per person.

Nice China Cafe@Torrance ★★★

Favorite Cantonese Comfort Food. I don't usually eat Chinese food, but Nice China Cafe is my go-to spot. You can enjoy Roasted Duck cooked 2 ways - Roasted and Peking style. Love everything including Eggplant, Lobster, and Roasted Duck. Because the shrimp crackers got really soggy from having the Duck Skin on top last time, we learned out lesson and took out all the shrimp crackers on a separate plate as soon as the dish arrived. (We did not ask them to separate themselves because of presentation purposes.) Almost all dishes below are special order and will need to call-in to order few days in advance. Rice seems to be complimentary. Love the BYOB. Call to make reservation. Tea is free. Free parking in lot.

Nice China Cafe@Torrance ★★

Great Cantonese Comfort Food in Torrance. Hidden gem. Just as its name, it's Nice. Roasted Duck as a whole is $30.95, but for $6 more, you can enjoy the duck cooked 2 ways - Roasted and Peking style. It's worth it. Just the shrimp chips got soggy from having the Duck Skin on top. If you want specific dishes such as Signature Pork Rib Served in a Pumpkin, Roasted Duck, Lobster, Steamed Fish, or the amazing Almond Tang Yuan Dessert, you will need to call-in to order in advance. Not sure why Almond Tang Yuan was $14.50 last time and $20 this time? Maybe they raised the price. BYOB. Call to make reservation.
