If you’ve ever looked for a sweet treat after a meal at Ruen Pair, you may have stumbled into Bhan Kanom Thai. This storefront is a mecca for hard-to-find Thai desserts, and is probably the LA go-to for mango sticky rice.

Located right next to Torrance icon King’s Hawaiian is Cocohodo, a specialist in Korean walnut pastries. Think of them as a sort of Korean donut, with cake batter shaped into the form of a walnut then filled with sweet red bean. We dare you to eat just one.

Perhaps one of the most unique snack shops in LA is Torrance’s Hisaya Kyoto Roasted Chestnuts. Where else can you find a shop dedicated to the roasted nut, with everything from chestnut ice cream to cake to coffee?

India Sweets & Groceries has been a Torrance staple for its unbelievably cheap vegetarian take out. Here lunch and dinner plates float around five bucks, but local snackers are here for the chaat, quick savory Indian and Pakistani bites. Samosas are handmade and are sold at less than one dollar, which means you might as well purchase a few things from the jewel-like pastry case, too.

Considered the Thai Costco, this Chinatown supermarket not only offers supermarket finds, but also a wide array of pre-packaged Asian snacks. If you happen to work up an appetite pursuing all those aisles, there’s a hot counter with Thai takeout along with a slew of Thai desserts.

Don’t forget to pull a number at Lutong Bahay, a popular chain of Filipino markets. Like several Asian groceries, this one also has a hot counter with everything from lumpia to adobo.

Meander through the stalls of any street market in Thailand and you’re likely to find a vendor who sells kanom krok, or coconut cakes. Chinatown’s Mae Ting’s is one of the few places you can find the soft, mildly sweetened cakes in LA. Only open on weekends.

The originator of mochi ice cream, Little Tokyo’s Mikawaya is the place to go for the traditional Japanese confection wrapped around balls of ice cream that are offered in a wide variety of flavors.

This massive supermarket is a haven for all things Japanese. The real star of the show is the massive food court that hawks everything from sushi to tempura to almost any Japanese sweet you can imagine.

This adorable tea house serves everything from bubble tea to Taiwanese popcorn chicken to macaron ice cream sandwiches to satisfy your sweet and savory snacking needs.

Immortalized by Anthony Boudrain’s tour of Koreatown, Myung In is arguably the best place for dumplings this side of the SGV. Here the mandu come in fluffy king varieties and wrinkly steamed ones. With locations in K-Town and Torrance, it is easy for this no-frills storefront to become a go-to snack shop.

Located in the back of Korean supermarket S Mart is Q Chon Chicken. Sitting right next to Torrance’s branch of Myung In, Q Chon is a perfect place to pick up spicy and sweet Korean fried chicken in the middle of your grocery run.

Have you tried kimbap, a sort of Korean take on sushi that typically substitutes raw fish for vegetables or meat, yet? The popular Korean snack food has yet to make waves in LA as of yet, but Koreatown newcomer, aptly named The Kimbap, aims to change that. Think varieties that range from spicy pork to fried shrimp, alongside non-seaweed and rice roll dishes like noodles and tteokbokki.
