Thai Plate Restaurant
10311 Hawthorne Blvd #1509, Inglewood, CA 90304, United States
Restaurant looks incredibly ugly, bad decorations, and a TV that displays ads only. Thai tea and Thai coffee were disgustingly sweet. this is coming from someone with a sweet tooth, it was so sweet you couldnt taste the coffee or tea AT ALL- just pure syrup. the food also wasnt great but not outrageous. the total for a tea, coffee, pad Thai, and a pineapple fried rice came out to 44 dollars. 8 dollars for each drink! we complained about the drinks to the water when she asked how everything was, and her reply was, back there, (motioning to kitchen) we followed the recipe. like okay? its still disgusting. we tried to pay and she revealed it was cash only. in 2024 cash only is a red flag. all we had on us was our phones, and after 15 minutes of arguing, we zelled. overall, horrible horrible experience. please dont go here. we passed a lot of better looking places on our way to this one.
Chana Thai Cuisine
1117 W Manchester Blvd #F, Inglewood, CA 90301, United States
Delivery was quick. Unlike other Thai places Ive ordered from that rush thru you ordering and lack customer service etiquette, the lady that helped me with my order was very patient and kind over the phone. I ordered everything Vegan. It was pretty tasty and arrived steaming hot.I really liked the spice (I ordered it Hot but next time Ill ask for extra hot since I can tolerate the heat)I liked the way the veggies were cut, there was love put into them.I ordered:Kee Mow (spicy noodles)~ were well cooked, edible, just needed a bit more mint flavor and Id gave it all a 5star.. Definitely two persons could split the plate.Tom Kha Soup~ was deliciousSide of Brown rice~ was a good amount and well cooked.Green Curry with Tofu~ thickness was good and it was tasty (tofu was not overcooked, still spongy and soft inside)

New China Mongolian BBQ
10001 Hawthorne Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90304, United States
My favorite Chinese buffet in the entire LAX area. I could choose anywhere in LA to stay as I travel for work, but I choose Inglewood anywhere near the new Rams stadium theyre building because its right next to LAX so I can get to the airport in a few minutes and the traffic is way better to access the different interstates and highways. Not to mention the city seems to be nicer than the descriptions Ive heard years ago since Im from Georgia.The Chinese restaurant is within walking distance from my hotel and they charge by the pound so I can determine how little a quantity I want instead of having to choose an item based off of its set price. This place has a mix between Chinese, Korean and Mongolian style dishes. My favorite choices there are the pork galbi (Korean style short ribs), the peppered chicken and the coconut shrimp is to die for! The best coconut shrimp I ever had in my life. They have lomain, fried rice and also give the choice of regular white rice! Yeeeeeessss! Im half Korean and white rice is what I crave when I have a choice. You can also stand in line and get the traditional Mongolian style food cooked in front of you as well. I think the price is between $3 or $4 per pound. I got 3 to go boxes for $17 last time I went which was less than $6 per person. I havent been eating Chinese much these days until I came across this place now I eat it as regular as I do all the other restaurants and comes out to be cheaper than McDonalds or burger king
Al-Noor Restaurant
15112 S Inglewood Ave, Lawndale, CA 90260, United States
Best PAKISTANI food I have ever ate in the USA hands down. Let me be clear, this is a Pakistani restaurant that has vegetarian options for the faint of heart, literally.I suggest the Chicken Biryani for all newbies or simply as a starting dish, but definitely the Beef Nihari to get your mouth going. Make sure to get the buttery Garlic Naan to sop up all the curry, because thats where the real spices of Nihari are at. As a side, get the Beef Seikh Kabob to really get that char-grilled Tandoor flavor. I would say that among the Kabobs the really adventurous would be uber satisfied with the Beef Boti Kabob which is more of tenderly marinated and spiced beef chunks than its ground beef cousin, Beef Seikh Kabob. Now for dessert I suggest the Ras Malai or Kheer, 2 of the most satisfying desserts fit for royalty. End the meal with a soul-quenching cup of Dood-Patti Chai (not the same as Masala Chai), one of the ultimate hits-the-spot milk teas that you will be dreaming about.**Disclaimer** Since most Pakistanis could go without vegetables or even being vegetarians at that, try to explore the meat/rice dishes before the vegetarian dishes. Trust me, youll thank me later. For most of you that do not know, Pakistani cuisine is MUCH different from its cross-border neighbor. Pakistani cuisine is heavy on the meats, especially red meat like lamb, goat and beef. Additionally the spices that Pakistani cuisine utilizes are a lot different than the spices Indian vegetarian-themed restaurants use for their cuisine. Some of these Indian restaurants even (gasp!) use the vegetarian spices for the meat dishes that they do serve. The cooking techniques along with the overall meat quality and texture are in my opinion place Pakistani cuisine on an untouchable level with no comparison.
