Restaurants in Harbor City

“Excellent food!!! Great service and we observed lots of take-away traffic”

“I experienced a lot of Thai food near here and I am a Thai food lover. So I can tell that portions are more sufficient than other restaurant, the ingredients are fresh and the taste is very good. If you are looking for the authentic Thai food, this is the right place”

“Who would’ve thought that some of the best Thai food in the U.S. is hiding in Harbor City? I really wish I’d discovered Warin Thai Restaurant sooner—I'd be a regular by now! Instead, I kept going back to what I thought was the best Thai spot in L.A., all while unknowingly driving right past Warin Thai every time. Now that I’ve found it, I have to say, this place is a hidden gem.

To be honest, the restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside. But that’s pretty much the case with most places around here. Warin Thai is located in an old, modest strip mall, but let’s be real—you’re not here for the ambiance. You’re here for the incredible food, and trust me, it’s well worth it.

The menu at Warin Thai isn’t as huge as some other Thai restaurants, but it doesn’t need to be. There’s more than enough amazing options, from soups (which you can get by the bowl or pot), to appetizers like crispy chicken wings, fresh Thai salads, stir-fries, noodles, curries, and even dessert like mango sticky rice. Prices are pretty reasonable, too—about $8-14 for soups, starters, salads, and desserts, and $13-19 for the mains. And believe me, every bite is fantastic.

Here’s what we had for dinner:

Pad Thai ($13.95) – Stir-fried rice noodles with eggs, bean sprouts, cilantro, lime, and a tasty sauce.
Pad See Ew ($13.95) – Stir-fried flat rice noodles with eggs and Chinese broccoli.
Garlic Salmon ($17.95) – Grilled salmon served with spinach and mashed potatoes, topped with garlic sauce.
Green Curry ($13.95) – Homemade green curry paste sautéed with coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and eggplant.
Panang Curry ($13.95) – Thai basil, bell peppers, and kaffir lime leaves in a rich Panang coconut curry.
Glass Noodle Salad ($13.95) – A refreshing mix of ground chicken, shrimp, tomatoes, onions, roasted peanuts, and cilantro, tossed in a spicy lime juice dressing.
Thai Fried Rice ($13.95) – Classic fried rice with egg, onions, and tomatoes.

Every dish was phenomenal. As someone with a Thai background who’s been to Thailand countless times, I’ve got to say I was seriously impressed. Thai people usually aren’t easily wowed by Thai food in the U.S., but this place totally nailed it.

It’s hard to pick a favorite because everything was just that good, but if I had to choose one, the Glass Noodle Salad really stood out. It was honestly one of the best salads I’ve ever had—juicy, sweet, spicy, and packed with flavor. It’s a must-order for sure.

Overall, the food here is consistently amazing. If you’re craving Thai food, don’t hesitate—Warin Thai is where you want to go. You won’t be disappointed.”

“I work in Torrance and wanted Mexican food, the ratings looked good, so I decided to stop on my way home. I’m so glad I did! The burrito was delicious. There were two people ahead of me, and the nice man working the whole restaurant was really hustling to ensure we all got our food as quickly as possible. I was genuinely very impressed with how good everything was, and will likely be stopping by often after having such a good experience. The prices are really good too- I think my burrito and a bottled water was like $13. This is a cash only establishment, so just be aware of that. I typically don’t carry cash, but happened to have some today so it all worked out really well.”

“The owner is such a sweet heart. All the food here is made with love. Their posole and caldo de res are so bomb. I also like the platter they have. I highly recommend their champurrado :)”

“We place an order for chicharon with queso pupusas, cheese quesadilla, and chicken taco dorado. Everything about the cuisine was freshly made and excellent! The chicken tacos dorados were so delicious that we wanted to keep ordering them.”

“I've had a lot of hawaiian food in Southern California, but this place takes the cake. The chicken was chargrilled to perfection, rice was great, Mac salad was traditional style and amazing. I also love that they had parking, seating, and a nice big TV playing the college world series. Thank you guys so much for your amazing food. This will be my new place from now on.”

“Ive been Dining at Bob's Burger Harbor City CA since the 1990's. Still a Great Place to eat! Try the Bob:s Special or French Toast Breakfast, You will Love it.”

“Recommended.Tortillas made to order, I ordered pastor, asada and suadero; the very good shepherd; The suadero chopped into trosos, just as you can feel its texture and the flavor it has; The roast did not leave me so satisfied but I take into account that they were about to pick. If we talk about the sauces, I really liked the red one, it had flavor and wasn't just spicy.”

“Great experience, paella is the best! Authentic Spanish food, great customer service, love the manchego and the iberico cheese, Mahou beer is the best!! definitely will come back soon ?”

“Cheap and delicious! 5 types of yogurt ice cream with 4 toppings for $5.50. A pretty reasonable dessert considering the current inflation! The fruit toppings are fresh. I couldn't really tell the difference between the original and cheesecake?The staff was kind and provided great service.”

“I highly recommend Tacos Miguelon…their food is so delicious! They are reliable. They respond to text messages promptly. I live 8 hrs away and had no problem setting everything up with them a month in advance. Everything they promised, they delivered! They arrived at the location of our family reunion on time. They’re kind and friendly. And their prices are reasonable.”

“I ordered the Buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks. The wings were the best priced in the area, which is what brought me here. They did not disappoint! The sauce has a mild spice level and bold flavor. Mozzarella sticks are just what you expect, can't really mess those up! Ordered online for convenient pick up. Very friendly service”

“Went here for first time to try put their pupusas. I dont like talking bad, maybe it was just a different place but it just didnt taste too great for me. The food was good just the taste was different for me.”

“The food was good, nice and hot. The guy that took my order was friendly and polite. The Orange chicken and the walnut shrimp 🍤 were nice and crunchy, just the way I like it.”
