Dumpling Mix is also now open in Redondo. Shanghainese-Taiwanese.

Canaan Cafe has more authentic dishes as daily specials. Not sure if they mention them to non-Mandarin speakers. Had a pretty damn good orange chicken and shrimp scrambled egg. Sorry no pics.

I went yesterday as well, it was understaffed and food came out slowly, but everything tasted good.

Canaan starting to add a lot of good stuff! Their squid stew noodle soup is solid. Taiwanese glutinous meatball is really good. Their seaweed / tofu cold plate is excellent, even if the seaweed is a tad over-cooked. Haven’t tried their bentos or new stirfiried dishes. But this has been a great addition to the neighborhood and can only hope they keep adding dishes from the mothership. Also, nice to note that the traffic eating in / taking out has really increased and (knock on wood) I think this might be the first restaurant to finally stick in that location!

Anyone have a good rec for a sit down Mexican spot in South Bay?

Been going to red onion a lot. Didnt really love madre all that much when I went last.

Jefes Cocina in San Pedro? Although they are really Guatamalan. Their “Fajitas” is very good if that’s your goto. Shrimp Quesadilla with Chipotle salsa (ask) is near perfection for me. Make sure to check for specials. Had their pork rib stew and Mexican Hot Chocolate Horcharta. Both are eye opening experience.
