Comfort Food Restaurants near Manhattan Beach, CA

“The chicken strips are amazing, the chicken sandwich are amazing. I've had so far the hot honey, mild, and original. I would say that the hot honey would be the best, still need to try the other flavors. The mild was ok, it was more of the seasoning instead of a sauce which was kind of disappointing, but still enjoyable. The fries were decent, but to be fair it would've been better if I would've eaten the fries then and there instead of waiting to get home. Overall, the service is great, I ordered online and as soon as I got there it was ready for pickup. Great vegan chicken spot!“

“Okay first, the salsa with the chips and salsa they serve is SO good. Spicy, but with flavor. The vegan quesadilla and the Beyond burrito were also amazing. All the veggies in them were super fresh and cooked perfectly. Also, get a black iced tea. Maybe the friendliest service as well. 100% recommend this place.“

“Hidden gem. Stopped by a bit early on a Friday night with my wife and kiddo and we had a fantastic experience. Cocktails were tasty, food was delicious, service was excellent, and the vibe was super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend the roasted cauliflower, tuna bruschetta, farmer's cheese, the duck special if they have it, and any one of their fantastic (healthy pours) wines on tap. Can't wait to come back!“

“AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING!!! Saw this place reviewed on IG and decided to check it out. Listen, imagine high quality ingredients in a fast food setting. Now, imagine this done with PASTA. Insanely good. I had the Original Marinara with Italian sausage and I was absolutely blown away.The noodles were perfectly al dente and the sauce was not too sweet and not too savory, it was PERFECT and was a chunky meat sauce that was infused with the Italian sausage.The person who worked the register was SO POLITE, professional, and patient with me as I not only spoke about their selections, but she also heard me out regarding some awesome nearby eateries, as well (I had some chicken from a place called Kickin' Chicken and Fish that I absolutely needed to try with their pasta. Lbvs!). I will most CERTAINLY be back! Get here!“

“I absolutely adore Rustic Kitchen! Came here with a friend for dinner. Due to its proximity in my neighborhood, I couldn't wait to try this gem of a place. When you walk in, the restaurant has a very intimate vibe. Our waitress was super kind and open to answering all questions that we had. The food was so delicious! I ordered the salmon and mashed potatoes with a side of broccolini while my friend ordered the lobster Mac and cheese. Everything was cooked to perfection. While I didn't get to try their wines, it's on my list now to come back just for that! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“The woman who attended me was amazing!! I really loved the strawberry milk and the pork belly was very delicious. I was just a little disappointed in the egg since it was warm on the outside but really cold in the inside which made me lose my appetite. The noodles also tasted too much like eggs in which I don’t really enjoy. The soup was really good though and again the pork belly tastes amazing!!“

“Oh my god. I don't normally leave reviews but I just ordered delivery from here and I had to. This is the best Thai food I've had in LA. Period. I got the Pad See Ew (See You Again, for sure), Basil Crispy Chicken Wings and Thai Iced Tea. SO GOOD. The Pad See Ew is so flavor packed. The beef and noodles are cooked to perfection, I LOVE the way the tofu is cooked. I am so picky about tofu, this is perfectly fried and sized, crispy on the outside and not dry on the inside. AMAZING. I LOVE LOVE LOVE vinegar chili and am soooooooo happy these came with the dish on the side, definitely ordering extra next time! The chicken wings are SO crispy and flavorful. Holy cow. Thai iced tea not too sweet or too milky, literally perfect. Compliments to the chef!!! I've tried every Thai place and had given up on finding anything that is worth ordering. I am SO glad I took a shot. I can finally order Thai weekly again :') ORDER FROM HERE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! I can't wait to try everything on the menu. You can tell the chef cares about every dish that's prepared, high quality and not just thrown together. So happy!!!“

“The place was a very pretty place but food wise I got the apple crumble pie. It wasn't really my forte because personally I just don't like apple pie. I like the crust and I will say the crust was like super good. It was super moist. It got so nice sweetness from the apples and what I did was I took the apples out. I threw them away. The apples did not taste bad. I just didn't like it so I threw the apples away. I put some ice cream in it you know and ate it like that. It was super delicious for those of y'all that just like the crust and don't like the feeling. Second of all the chicken pot pie, the first time I got it it was very unseasoned and there was no potatoes in it. There was I think carrots and peas in it and I just it wasn't favorable but the crust again always. That's why y'all called crusties cuz it's so good. Yeah cuz it's so good. The second time I got the curry chicken pot pie. That was amazing. I had great seasoning highly recommend. Service wise the service was decent like I went up to the store and this guy told me to wait. I said boy I'm a customer. One thing you're not about to do is tell me to wait but I wasn't. I didn't say that but I thought that cuz it was kind of like random and I was the only person in there. So like what am I waiting for but I just stood there because I don't know what's going on. So I said let me weigh my weight and I waited for like some 3 minutes and that was about it so nothing too much. I just think they should be very appealing in a little higher pitching their tone instead of being dull monotone like have an accommodating voice you know, yeah, thank you!“

“Lazt Dog is a great place in Torrance. Bar area is very nice, with several large TV's. Bar can be a little crowded, should remove a couple of stools to make it a little more roomy. Outdoor area looks really nice, but it.was a 40 min wait, so I opted for the bar. Food looked good. I had the Baja California burger, with the Apple Cider Slaw. Burger was done very well. wasnt very hot, as the bartender indicated, but it was good. Recommend leaving off the lettuce and tomato. There is a good amount of sauce on the burger, and the lettuce and tomato turn it into a slippery, drippy, hard to eat mess. But it was a really good burger. I will just leave those two items off next time. Beer was great, nice and cold. Bartenders were fantastic. they engaged with all the bar people. Kept water and beer filled. Overall, I will go back. There are a fee other items on the menu I want to try. Also want to check out the outdoor area.“

“I love eating at Auntie's and I can't stop raving about their breakfast burritos! Without a doubt, Auntie's serves up the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. My go-to order is the bacon and Portuguese sausage combo, minus the tater tots, and it never disappoints. Also I love the traditional Hawaiian music that plays as I'm enjoying my food. It always creates a calm and comfortable environment.I've explored breakfast burrito options all over the South Bay and Los Angeles, and nothing even comes close to Auntie's. The flavor profile is absolutely outstanding. The bacon is thick and delightfully crunchy, elevating every bite to a whole new level of deliciousness.What makes Auntie's even more remarkable is their support for law enforcement. They go the extra mile by hosting "coffee with a cop" events periodically, fostering better communication between the public and the Gardena police department. It's heartwarming to see the mayor of Gardena, Chief, and Captain attend these events, demonstrating Auntie's commitment to the community.Auntie's isn't just a restaurant; it's a place where you can savor incredible breakfast burritos and feel good about supporting a business that actively engages with its local law enforcement and community. If you're in the area, Auntie's is a must-visit spot for a truly unforgettable breakfast experience.“

“One of the real good experiences that I had with taco trucks is this one, their food is tasty and flavorful and another good thing is ,they accept Zell as well so it is not cash only like many other places, I tried their mulitas which was amazing The guy and the lady who took my order very polite as well!“

“Rinky dink place, but the food and atmosphere make up for it. The customers were friendly. The service was extraordinary. The owner cane out, the cook and the waitress all checked repeatedly. Great service. Because we represented a sorority, Many people spoke to us. One person actually paid for our meals! When we found out, we all cried. It was a wonderful spirit at Dulans, and we were thankful for everything that occurred. We'll be back the next time we go to L.A.“

“Head to the back! During the holidays, I usually purchase chicken sausages for the holidays. One day, i saw that they were selling hot food so i purchased breakfast to go. The food was fresh and the service was good. Everyone was very friendly and the ambiance reminded me my moms kitchen. They do have a eating area. Once you get your order, you need to walk to the front and pay first then take the receipt back before they prepare your food. Service is fast. I really enjoyed the sausage on a bun with grilled onions and mustard. I paired it with my ice coffee i picked up at South LA coffee cafe. Good food, good eats! It's good comfort food. Another time i had grits, eggs and fried chicken wings. The food is fresh and hot. Nothing but good and my favorite spot to get food to go.“

“Wow! What a hole-in-the-wall, I didn't know what to expect but it blew me away! Very friendly service and the food is incredible. We've tried it twice now and it does not disappoint. We had some Texans in for the weekend and my son wanted to celebrate with BBQ...so we went to the state next door and tried Oklahoma-style! We ordered a family-style combo for 10-12 people, plus a few extra sides, and had amble food left over for days! Everything was delicious, the meats not too fatty (just how I like it!) and the ribs were thick and meaty. Perfect for a crowd and to satisfy your BBQ fix! Ordered online for delivery and they were very communicative about the status of our order. Arrived on time and well-packed for delivery. No beans or sauces spilled here! Highly recommend, we will be back.“

“I am so glad I was able to visit this La Michoacana located inside the Del Amo Mall in Torrance. My personal favorite Hot Cheetos with nacho cheese and jalapeños. I also love their Cucumber ice pop and hand scooped Gansito ice cream. The staff is very cheerful and willing to offer their favorite flavors. I will definitely stop by every time I go to the mall.“
