“Good quality food. Healthy options. Great service. My favorite is the braised beef and mushroom with mashed potatoes. The mango tart is amazing.”
“Truly professional yet very friendly service. Well-trained young servers and chefs all knew their precise roles, and performed flawlessly but without hurry. Almost seemed choreographed! Delicious lighter broth and lovely taste. Sinfully tasty pork and beware addictive fried chicken. If you’re dieting, bring a hearty portion of self-restraint!”
“This place is definitely under New management. I can tell the difference on my.previous visits. The new staff and service was excellent!
I’m very pleased with the cookies were so soft and fresh and looked incredible, the staff was really hospitable too. Thank you so much. I’m happy to see the changes.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Best Persian food in the area. There is no cheating Persian food. It has to be fresh. Everything is made to order with quality. Chicken and beef are tender. The sides are amazing. My only gripe is I want them to get bigger but not lose their quality.”
“If you’re craving authentic Korean BBQ in the South Bay — especially Korean-style grilled beef intestines (gopchang) — this is the place to go.
One thing that really stands out to me is how clean and well-prepared the gopchang is. Korean-style gopchang is known for its thorough cleaning and careful preparation, and I truly felt a sense of safety and quality here. That attention to detail makes a big difference.
All of the side dishes were excellent as well — everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced.
I’d definitely love to come back here often with friends!”

“Great first experience here. The Spicy Miso Ramen was delicious and would definitely reccomend. The staff was very attentive and friendly. It’s a small local shop, so expect a potential wait at busy times, but the ample parking makes it easy to visit. Looking forward to coming back for the Josui Ramen.”

“Utsav was the perfect place to relax and have a savory bite before visiting the nearby South Shore Botanical Gardens. All my favorite dishes and a few new ones were all delicious. Samay tended to us and the other guests promptly. The sweet rice “kheer” rounded off our well priced lunch buffet.”
Outdoor Dining
“Great experience. Gives that local vibe that I love. Great selection of beers and food with multiple TVs for your viewing pleasure. Our server was great as well. I believe her name is Ashley. She had a friendly personality and I can see myself coming in asking for her next time.”
“Authentic halal curries and fusion Indian topping pizzas. Small place big flavors.
Pizza crust is perfect chewy and good amount of chicken tikka on the pizza.
Also tried the Alu samosa, chicken curry, lamb biryani and garlic naan. Everyone in the group loved it. To be honest, I think this is the best Indian food spot in Torrance or Redondo Beach area. The manager is Nitin from India’s tandoori in Manhattan Beach and now he moved into this Curry and Pizza restaurant. He does excellent customer service and he is very friendly and professional. We know him for years and so happy he moved here.
Will be back soon to try other items on the menu.”
“Best seafood offered at reasonable prices. I wanted healthy fresh seafood and Bluesalt checked all the boxes.
After a particularly long work day ( commute to the Westside sitting on the 405), and picking up my RX at nearby Costco, I was famished and remembered this casual seafood restaurant was opened late ( closes at 9) and can dine there past closing time( within reason). Most cafes and eateries in Torrance & Redondo kick you out and shutter promptly. The male owner/manager was very nice and professional( offered me water) .Shout out to Day? young female employee who gave me extra lemon slices.
I ordered two platters with the rice pilaf and roasted garlic potatoes which were so tasty. Their ono and rockfish with peri peri was phenomenal and had 2/3's of both combos to go ( as had another busy commute next day in the valley and wanted convenience packed to go containers). They both held their texture and still fresh and tasty the next day for lunch.
Above all, their menu is quite extensive and array of fresh seafood to select from is impressive. That's the hardest part, what to choose! Since I arrived very late, their salsa bar was not available.
I've been here on past occasions with friends and always found a convivial friendly atmosphere. Next time, I/we won't be in a hurry and dine in and have wine or beer.
Look forward to next visit!”
“Im excited to write this review of all the rest because this place is what a coffee shop should be! Fast, courteous and very fresh. My vanilla latte was HOT just as i like it. The almond Danish was fresh. Smiles at the first encounter was best customer service I have experienced in a long time. Thank you!”
“We are blessed to have this King Mediterráneo in Torrance. The food is delicious and very generous on the portion served. When I go there, I always try to say hello to Ara or Norah. It is such a pleasure to see and talk to them, they make me feel that we are long time friends. For sure I recommend this place and give them a FIVE STAR rating. I assure you will not be disappointed. !!!!!!”
“Nice beef based omakase really enjoyed the causal but fancy dinner out. My partner and I each got a set , one regular and one of their signature ones. So we were able to try everything. I would avoid the ramen. But everything is great”

“What a fantastic discovery. I was craving calzones and used to have a spot in Los Feliz which I would go out of my way for. After trying a few places which fell short of the mark in South Bay, I almost gave up on finding authentic Italian food locally. The search was worth it as this is now going to be one of my forever places to come on a regular basis. From the calzone, to the pizza, salads and even the Cannoli Siciliani Pistacchio, everything has been nothing short of amazing. To top it off, it’s family run and they are all the sweetest and most warm people I’ve encountered at any local restaurant. If you haven’t tried them yet, you need to stop by.”
“Gaburi Chicken is a spot that recently opened up! The popcorn chicken is amazing; excellent flavor! This is a popular place, so be aware that you may have to head to the restaurant early! Parking is somewhat difficult to find, so be aware of this also! Overall, this place deserves 5-stars!”
“Obviously, we were already halfway through the meal before we remembered to take photos! The food is always amazing, and the servers are so friendly and welcoming. You can taste the freshness in every dish. The portions are generous too. We will definitely be coming back!”
“This small restaurant is located in a strip mall on Carson St. in old Torrance.. it was very busy and popular even on a Monday night! The food was outstanding starting with the beef salad.. it was very tasty and refreshing. Moving on the fancy sashimi was perfect.. very fresh and flavorful. Their beef is top notch whether it was the ribeye or the wagyu tartar service with uni and caviar.. the latter had a beautiful presentation and was equally delicious. The salmon truffle carpaccio was another winner. The service was nice and the counter seating was very comfortable. It might be a good idea to do a reservation especially if it is a busy night. the space is relatively compact and fills up really fast. This is a very authentic dining experience which has not been watered down for an American audience.. real deal outstanding Japanese food. They have tons of robata choices and their crispy pork ribs looked amazing.. def trying them on our next visit. If you love grilled meats and amazing flavor Izakaya Hachi is a must try.”
“Right beside Nijiya supermarket and my dog grooming place. Lots of good reviews led me here. Ordered large portion steak with potato salad. Cut don steak over rice-- menu is simple and beef is good! I didnt order wagyu slice but the flavor reminds you of trad japanese resto. Place is not fine dining but comfortable and relaxed. Potato salad is a must try- so so good and creamy. Will come back to try the sliced beef don w egg- their signature dish. The servings are good for 1-2 persons and priced a little bit more. But with the flavor experience, i think its worth it. Good date place for foodies.”
“We go because of vic the bartender.He's got the greatest personality.He's very knowledgeable what he does.And I don't even go sit at a table.I go straight to the bar.I consider him a friend.We know each other's family well, at least he knows mine.We know what each other does for a living.We know what each other does on our free time.I go there because it feels like home.Thanks Vic. Went there tonight and had another amazing strawberry Pina Colada and shrimp and chicken Carbonaro was bomb.”
“My first time trying this location, it was recommended to me and it’s good enough to post a review about it. The cashier is super friendly and helpful. She walked me through the process of ordering a sushi burrito. Taste was 10/10, quality was just as good and they’re handmade after you order so you do have to wait like 15min but so worth it. I got the ahi tuna and shrimp tempura with masago, green onion, and imitation crab. Second one was for my fiancé and he couldn’t get enough. Definitely stopping by next time I’m in the area.”

“Always a great experience at this restaurant and we just love our regular waitress in fact if she’s not there we wait to sit in her section Elizabeth is our favorite server, we’re not saying that we don’t like the others but she is our favorite and is very nice and knows what makes us comfortable extra napkins & coffee creamer etc. just the little things that make us feel comfortable she really is the best in our eyes”
“PEARL AND ALEXIS WERE SUPER PROFESSIONAL AND I liked their uniforms..snazzy!!
Almost thought I would get a filet miñon they both looked so snazzy.
Great service!
My Double Cheeseburger w/o cheese, with an extra patty was perfectly made and the temperature was hot.
Fabulous visit.
I am posting here because I needed to give kudos yet the receipt was faded due to low ink, I guess, and could not take the survey.

“Drivethrkugh was *packed* on a saturday morning, but inside was nice and empty. Took 20 minutes to get ~3 saus egg mcmuffins and a hashbrown 😕
Dont mind it too much however, was clean and quiet while i waited for my meal, and was good quality as expected from mcd's.”
“Several weeks ago, I was at the drive thru and Kathleen was at the window. She was very friendly and helpful. Excellent representative of McDonalds. I have been going to this McD's for decades and overall, this McD's is kept very clean, food is consistently up to McD's standards, and the employees do an excellent job. Kudos to the management team over the decades.”
“Amazing service! The team is always friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning for happy hour. I ordered the french dip sandwich which was ok but I'll definitely be back for drinks and apps with friends.”

“Marsha was incredible. We were looking for someone who could provide all the dessert for our wedding, bring us something other than a traditional wedding cake experience, and also bring some extra flair to our big day. Marsha did all that and more. Our cake table was decorated so beautifully! She made the most delicious cupcakes of all different flavors for our guests to enjoy. She even made an ADORABLE cake topper for us that everyone raved about. In addition, Marsha made us a gorgeous, delicious, moist 3 layer cake , and she even was able to bring a ROLLED ICE cart too! People could not get over how cool it was to have rolled ice cream at our wedding, especially because Marsha had extra cupcakes to put in with the ice cream. She was so collaborative, easy to work with, and fun. Everything we asked her to do, she accommodate, often gently giving her sage advice along the way. We could not possibly recommend Marsha any higher than we do. She is absolutely incredible and soooo many people raved about their experience with her at our wedding. 10/10 for everything!!”
“BEST PIZZA IN THE SOUTH BAY! My boyfriend introduced me to this little gem a few years ago and I can honestly say any other pizza I try since doesn't come close to the amazing taste that Jack's pizza makes. We're lucky enough to live 3 minutes away from this place, so we usually pick up and bring the pie home, but it's always piping hot and perfection every time. I honestly don't go anywhere else for pizza since my first bite of Jack's pizza, and I can pretty much guarantee you won't either. This place has been around for a long long time, I think somewhere around the 80's and I hope they stay around making magic in the kitchen for many years to come. A sincere thanks to all the staff at Jack's! Stay awesome and don't change!”
“Really liked this place. It offers quick prep moderately priced sushi that tastes good for moderately priced sushi. The only weakness was the shrimp nigari which was skimpy on the shrimp. My meal included miso soup, salad and roll, wrap & funnel sushi. I had 2 bites of the roll and drank some soup before I took the picture. I was hungry!”
“I've been coming here for decades, a tradition every year around Christmas/New Years my family would come out here and feast! The food never disappoints and there isn't a single place I've been across the states that compares to the meat we get here. Wishing the new owners a very happy new year, I already can't wait to come back again.
Definitely recommend putting in a reservation if you're planning on stopping by, it can get very busy!”
“They offer a wide variety of dishes, ranging from traditional Chinese cuisine to creative Western cuisine, and there are many surprising combinations. In addition, the restaurant pays attention to the selection of raw materials and the innovation of cooking techniques to ensure that each dish can bring you the most extreme taste experience”

“Was out in this area for work. Did a Google maps search for sandwiches. Man what a little hidden gem. These guys have a huge list of sandwiches and other things on their menu. They nailed my club and they do not hesitate to give big portions. I'll be coming back to this local spot next time I work out there.”
“I absolutely love this place. Marugame Udon is delicious, fresh and affordable. The only thing I'd change is that it isnt comfy but guess what. Me who rarely goes tp a place with not the best seating and ambience goes with excitement. The staff is wonderful and if you go after 3 there is almost no kne there and it is my favorite time to go between the usual mealtime. No wait and ample seating. Parking and even so.e outdoor seating and a cute area for kids to play. As for the food, I always get the beef and at least one tempura sweet potato. If im splurging I load up on the shrimp tempura some gyoza and other assorted goodies. Oh and add the hard boiled egg to your Udon. I dump the leftover tempura dipping save into my bowl. I always get the large and I always have enough for the next day lunch.
If you are visiting friends or family at Little company hospital it is an easy walk across the street and you do t have to lose your parking spot.
Wonderful wonderdul place. Im an island girl and KNOW yummy UDON and Marugame Udon delivers. I love it.”
“Stopped by Jang Su Jang in Torrance and the place was bustling, with only a few tables open for dine-in.
Ambiance (4/5): Lots of natural light mixed with warm-toned lighting creates a cozy and homey feel. The restaurant has plenty of space, with tables for both small groups and larger parties of up to 8. It was lively and loud inside, but in a good way—exactly the kind of noise level you’d expect at a thriving Korean spot. Beautifully decorated and welcoming.
Food (4/5): I ordered the Jangsu Bossam, which came with rice and two portion sizes of banchan. Everything was well-seasoned, with the cucumbers being the standout—crisp, fresh, and addictive. The bossam itself was flavorful and generously portioned (marketed for 2 but easily feeds 3). We also tried the bibimbap, which was satisfying and nicely done. Overall, both dishes were good, though not quite unforgettable.
Service (4/5): Since we ordered to go, I didn’t get the full dine-in experience, but ordering was quick, friendly, and efficient. I’ll update if I get the chance to try table service next time.
Overall: Solid Korean food in a cozy, busy setting. Worth returning to, though maybe not a place I’d find myself craving often.”
“Lived around the neighborhood for a while, didn't realize how close this place was from my house.It's so good and delicious.One of my favorites is the mango.Smoothie, when i'm telling you that it's super refreshing I love how it's very slushy, like not watery, but perfect.
The people there are very friendly and nice.Good customer service”
“My go-to at this diner would be the ENCHILADAS! Amazing flavor and texture; some of the best enchiladas I have ever had at a diner. The service is 5-stars. The atmosphere is cozy and comforting. The peach cobbler is also a hit! The parking is somewhat difficult, so be aware of this.”
“Great service all the workers are nice and everything came out fast. Totally recommend the frozen lemonade so good if you love sour you need to try the blue one but the strawberry one is also pretty good just be careful with brain freezes the queso is nice but my favorite is the western bacon”
“very cool place to visit- highly recommended! Must try the Cuban sandwich! The staff who took care of us (?Marta, Margarette, unsure) very kind and proficient. She did great answering my questions about the menu, and since we had not been here before even took the time to tell us about specials that were coming up and invite us to visit again soon. We enjoyed our visit very much..”
“Fabulous prime rib and lobster. The restaurant is definitely a landmark with amazing food and service.”

“Today was our first visit to Mendocino Farms in Torrance, where we were warmly greeted by the staff as we walked in. We met with senior manager, Miguel, who assisted us with placing our Thanksgiving order. Miguel definitely represents his brand by being friendly and wanting your experience to be the best (and it was!). After tasting today’s food, it just confirmed we made the right choice for our holiday food. The atmosphere was extremely inviting and clean. This will definitely be one of my weekly stops!”
“A friend brought me their Matcha almond croissant, the Black forest Cake even though it really wasn't a black forest it was totally delicious as well as the matcha almond croissant. The croissant can rival any French bakery. It was buttery, soft and absolutely delicious. Thank you ,JJ Bakery”
“If you’re looking for good food and a fun loose atmosphere, stop by The Roadhouse. All the food was tasty, nothing upscale, just bar food done right. Their daily specials with an included specialty drink is a great value. Next time I’m coming for the French Dip special. They seem to have a good sized regular crowd and someone was celebrating a party, even with that, the service was very good. This is another dive bar with good atmosphere, made by good patrons, and fun music. There is limited front parking, but ample street parking. There are pool tables, darts, a golf video game and plenty of big screen TVs.”
“Indoor👍🏼👍🏼we opted for it but was surprised when they ushered us to the back portion of the restaurant. It makes you feel like you really are in an authentic Japanese Izakaya restaurant.”

Good date place for foodies.”
“Still great after all these years A nice variety of meat selections and super tasty.”
“My first visit to The Pan. It's always nice to find another great breakfast place. It will take a while to sample all the things that sounded interesting. I went for biscuits and gravy, which comes with eggs, home fried potatoes and sausage or bacon. My friend got the Pan's Signature Scramble which uses Italian sausage. Both were very good. I'm really interested in trying some of the pancake and crepe choices, but wanted to keep it simple this morning. There's plenty of room here and Donna was a very good and pleasant server.”
“If you haven't been here you areissong out. I consider this place to be a local gem. Get there right at 5 if you don't have a reservation. This yakitori is fantastic. It is cooked perfectly every time. There are lots of options for both those who are adventurous and those who like to stay a little closer to home. This place will not disappoint.”
“There is no food here but drinks and atmosphere was great. Good service from the friendly bartender as well. The place looks smaller than the pictures but the AC was fantastically cold. Good selection of Hawaiian beers on tap.”

“Excellent store for supplements and health food. Very wide selection of products.”
“Outback is my number one place for great steaks. Mine was cooked perfectly.”
“Great place off the beaten path - excellent service, food is great, ambiance is quiet and enjoyable. Highly recommend this great place for dinner, lunch or weekend brunch. Pet friendly, outdoor seating.”
“the chicken katsu was thicc!! btw the manager is hella sexy XD”
“This place consistently hits the spot! If you’re looking for home style Japanese cooking you won’t go wrong by coming here. Their hamburger steak is their specialty and probably the best I’ve had in America”
“This is by far the best all you can eat AYCE Kbbq restaurant in Torrance. The staff were incredibly attentive and A++ for the cleanliness of the restaurant. 😊 I really like that most of the common cookable meats are out on the salad bar as well as vegetables, appetizers, all the sauces, fruits 🤤 all readily available to everyone - so you can easily get more. 😉 I highly recommend trying the beef belly, beef rib finger and marinated short ribs each cut was tender and flavorful. The cheesecorn, shrimp tempura, tofu soup and baked mussels were delicious side options and cooked to perfection. 😊💯”
“Love to eat here . People are friendly. Hit the spot ! Thank you”
“I visited for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. While having a happy hour beer, I ordered the steak and pasta. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and the sauce had a familiar, comforting flavor that reminded me of Japanese cuisine. I truly appreciated being able to enjoy this kind of taste in the U.S.
The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, making it a very pleasant place to spend time. I would highly recommend this restaurant.”
“The good variety of food, the craft beers, the good service from the waitresses and being in the Restaurant is super cozy, like being at home with family.”
“We go because of vic the bartender.He's got the greatest personality.He's very knowledgeable what he does.And I don't even go sit at a table.I go straight to the bar.I consider him a friend.We know each other's family well, at least he knows mine.We know what each other does for a living.We know what each other does on our free time.I go there because it feels like home.Thanks Vic.

“My experience was very good and the food was delicious. I would defiently eat there again.”
“The server was so Great. He is so respectful, attentive and helpful. He gives suggestions of what I will order being my first time in Wadatsumi. Thank you very much for the Awesome service.😊 I'll definitely come back with my friends.💯”

“Cool story: Tendon Tempura Carlos Jr., Pinto writes about how, after moving to Japan from where he grew up in Peru, tempura saved him from loneliness.
Awesome, flaky, crunchy and NOT SOGGY tempura with a hardboiled eggs as a tempura!
Food 4/5
Vegetable bowl, sauce is lightly pre-drizzled on it. Pay a $1 more and get everything on a plate.
Service 4/5
Prompt quick service, no issues at all!
Parking 4/5
FREE parking lot in the back but LIMIITED spaces”
“Love the place, love the people, love the beer. Great place to get away on a hot day for a few hours with the family and watch LA Galaxy games!
Fixed review to 5! Fat fingered the star selection! My apologies”
“It’s one of the cheapest buffets, now that everything is so expensive . They kept their prices , ITS THE BEST HIDDEN SECRETS around 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾”
“My first review! My visit here last night was nothing short of a revelation in the art of sushi dining. Celebrating its 17th year, this gem of a restaurant has not just stood the test of time; it has set the bar for what authentic Japanese cuisine can embody. Though it is not your modern izakaya nor fine-dining luxury, it firmly facets itself as the "OG" restaurant in the diverse Japanese dining scene. Immediately upon entering, I observed details of its classic entity by old decos of art, calligraphy, signs, photos, and handwritten notes. It was an ambiance that exuded warmth. I immediately felt the history and dedication woven into the fabric of this place. The owners have crafted not merely a restaurant but a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer nuances of Japanese culture and cuisine. I opted for the sushi combo course. Each piece of sushi was a testament to the chef's mastery over his craft, with every ingredient shining through in a delicate balance of flavors and textures with a properly curated course. All the nigiri boasted freshness in a blend of tastes that was above satisfactory by the plate. But what truly sets Sushi Anza apart is the heart and soul poured into every aspect of the dining experience. From the attentive, yet unobtrusive service to the meticulous presentation of the dishes, you can feel the love and dedication that the owners have for their craft. It's this personal touch combined with an "aged" ambience that transforms a meal into an experience. In a world where the genuine essence of Japanese cuisine can sometimes be lost amidst fusion and innovation, Sushi Anza stands as a beacon of tradition and quality. Overall, my first visit here was a nostalgic journey through the very essence of Japanese tradition, guided by the hands of those who know and respect it the most. I cannot recommend Sushi Anza enough and look forward to many more visits. I hope to regain the same authentic warmth, excellence, and quality that hallmarks the culinary gems of Torrance.”
“My family and I went there for lunch on a Friday. The restaurant was full, and we were seated in a private room where you had to take off your shoes to enter. The service was excellent, and the menu featured unique items at reasonable prices. We will definitely return for more.”
“Overall, the dining experience was highly satisfactory. While the pricing continues to increase, a trend which reflects current industry dynamics, we hope the management will prioritize maintaining the quality of the cuisine and the established high standard of service in the long term.”
“Tremendous, upbeat staff. Very welcoming. Great variety of food and drink. Great vibe”
“Yamaya Japanese Wagyu & Grill is a Japanese yakiniku specialist in the Torrance area. Ventilation is not bad, but expect to get smelly. The dimly lit dining room is clean and tidy. Servers are friendly, professional and accommodating. Corkage is US$ 25/btl. Food is fresh and of great quality. While side dishes such as Moyashi Namui (US$4.8) and Green Salad ($5.8) are refreshing, the different cuts of wagyu are simply delicious! Highly recommend the crunchy Chef’s Cut Tongue (US$42.8), the juicy Premium Short Ribs (US$ 34.8) and Outside Skirt (US$ 29.8).”
“Only place with Cold Buckwheat noodles (our children’s) favorite all year long, whereas other Korean restaurants are seasonal.
Very nice and pleasant staff”
“I dropped by in the morning and pretty sure they were closed, but Santos was nice enough to hook me up with some beers anyway. Cannot wait to try out these unique drafts.”
“Stopped by chance. Nice little place. Well run. Crowded but not overly loud. Food was excellent. Had chicken katsu in a bento. And sushi. I'll definitely be back.”
“Overall, it's not bad at all. Soon Tofu was a bit salty. Cabbage Kimchi wasn't provided unless asked. IMHO, I had better somewhere else for these two. However, if you are a big fan of oemuk, you gotta visit Yori. They really got the best oemuk in town!”
“Excellent experience last night! We ordered the Avocado Eggrolls and shared a Hawaiian pizza…delicious! Madison is fantastic server…she was lovely and very knowledgeable on the menu. A+”
“Great food - Great service! I came here 2 times in a week, each time greeted like a long time patron! The people are friendly, kind and attentive! The food was great each time with fresh ingredients and the salsa is awesome. Also, honest people, who kept my son’s jacket for several days after he forgot it at our last visit.”
“Really great food + specials and we had such a fabulous waitress we shall be back!”
“I don’t usually write reviews, but this place deserves one. The pizza was great, the staff was friendly, and everything came out fast. I even met the owner super nice guy and you can tell he cares about the place. Definitely coming back.”
“really good time here last week, we came in not knowing it was the night they had tacos on special, really great tacos!@ Perfectly seasoned beef, trimmings were perfectly proportioned, very tasteful, good portions an side offerings. Rates were really good especially considering the excellent level of service. For sure we will visit again soon!”
“Good taste noodle, great customer service! interesting old Torrance neighborhood.”
“Ise-Shima is a hidden gem in Torrance!
It’s an authentic Japanese restaurant that offers amazing quality food. I had their seasonal lunch, which was beautifully presented and delicious. Located on the first floor of the Miyako Inn Hybrid Hotel, it has a relaxed and elegant atmosphere with attentive service. There’s plenty of free parking, and it’s definitely a must-visit spot whenever I’m in Torrance.”
“Nice place to go with friends to hangout. DJ on the weekends is very good, great music to dance to.”
“Antonio is the best chef in the Southbay, he pours a great glass of vino! Jess, provides great service.”
“Our server last night was awesome with the recommendations and add ons for enhancements to our food. It was the best meal I've had there so far - and I have been multiple times prior. The truffle garlic bread with vodka sauce on the side was the show stealer!”
“Excellent sushi restaurant in Torrance, CA. The quality of the sashimi and sushi is outstanding at this restaurant. The seafood is very fresh and the price reasonable compared to the big cities like New York. The service was very friendly and efficient. We will definitely return again.”
“Decided to try out this local spot on a whim and i'm really glad I did. I pulled up 15 minutes until closing and the waitress still took my order to go. Dine in was no longer available which was understandable. She was very witty and funny, excellent service and I enjoyed the unexpected laughter. Food was ready super quick and she even met me at the door to pick it up. The food was incredible, very rich flavor and made with love. I ordered the #4 which was recommended by her. I am looking forward to dining in next time, really nice spot. Go check it out.”
“A wonderful place to go for any occasion. Food was delicious and the menu had various great options to choose from. The cocktails were really good. The service was on point. Love that! The atmosphere was just lovely and sheek. Live music on certain days so mariachi lovers this is your spot.
I will definitely be back.”
“OMG I love this Restaurant. It’s always nice and clean and the people that works there are nice but the one that makes a big difference is Angie, She’s absolutely the best very professional caring towards the customers. She always makes us feel welcome. Excellent service love her to pieces. We come here once a week just because of her! 🥰”
“I picked here because it was open late and glad I made that decision. I like the menu because it split into prices. Super affordable because the portion is sooo huge. On top, full of flavor and delicious.
I got the combo B with chicken and pitcher of beer. Chicken was crunchy and tasty.
The Sausage platter was sooo huge has a hint of kick but for people who can't eat spicy can still enjoy.
Service was awesome and I think the owner was there and he made sure everybody was happy, felt welcome and enjoyed it here.”
“Ko Ryo Jung is an excellent Korean BBQ spot with truly authentic flavors. The quality of the meat is great—fresh, juicy, and well-seasoned. The banchan (side dishes) are plentiful and delicious, and they’re refilled generously.
The service is friendly and attentive, and the staff helps with grilling and explains the best way to enjoy the food. The restaurant is clean with a comfortable, authentic Korean atmosphere.
Definitely a place I’ll come back to. Highly recommended!”
“Feels like you are in Japan great atmosphere! Only thing is you do need to make a reservation if you want a booth. They do offer walk in but only for the stool chairs/bar.”
“Had such a great experience here! We came in with a group of six and were immediately welcomed with amazing service from Crystal and Carlos. They really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of the whole night.
I had the Linguine Pescatore and it was absolutely delicious - so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Everyone in our group loved their meals and kept commenting on how good everything was.
Between the delicious food and the outstanding customer service, this spot is definitely a winner. Highly recommend and I’ll for sure be coming back!”
“Love Beaux, I can stop by for a quick drink and some appetizers to full dinner 🥘 I just love that this place reminds me of Tokyo back in my young days in Tokyo lol 😂 great cocktails and awesome Japanese whiskies🥃 Waitresses are super friendly and attentive, and this place is great for Nijikai nightcap as well ✨”
“enjoyed a well seasoned salmon bagel, and plenty of cream cheese to go with it! The wait was longer than expected (however it was Black Friday weekend) but they seemed a bit short of hands. It makes a good and convienient stop for a meal just to pan out the day- steep rates on drinks, but looking like a great place for happy hour! We will be back for another try.”
“Walk in to the host stand, and tell them how many people are in your party, and what you would like to drink.
While busy, you never wait more than 10 or 15 minutes for busy times.
From there, they walk you to your table, and you can all you can eat buffet style. They have a lot of american chinese food fare as well as American food for any picky eater friends.
I always get the hot tea.
The hot and sour soup is very good, the shumai is very good. Try a little bit of everything.
This Buffett has a soft serve machine as well!”

“Great service all the workers are nice and everything came out fast. Totally recommend the frozen lemonade so good if you love sour you need to try the blue one but the strawberry one is also pretty good just be careful with brain freezes the queso is nice but my favorite is the western bacon”
“Frida is officially in my happy hour rotation!
I went with my girlfriend and we had a great time. The Cadillac margaritas were really good, smooth and strong without being too sweet. The tequila shots were solid too.
The bartending staff was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. The noise level was moderate and the ambiance was just right for relaxing and enjoying the night.
I was honestly surprised to see vegan tacos on the happy hour menu. I got the cauliflower taco and the black bean taco and both were excellent. Crunchy, flavorful, and actually filling.
My best friend had the ceviche tostada and said it was delicious.
Overall, it is a great happy hour spot with good drinks, good food, and a fun vibe. I will definitely be going back.”
“I’m writing this because the manager at the Del Amo location - Eddie went out of his way to accommodate our catering order even though it was on short notice. He really went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs (there were many!) were met. This kind of service is truly exceptional and I’m very grateful to Eddie for making this so easy.”

“Pho Hue Oi is a straight up hidden gem in Torrance and I am OBSESSED. Family owned, incredibly warm, and the service is next level — the kind where you feel like you’re eating at someone’s house and they actually want you there.
The food? Let me get into it. Their Lomo Saltado hits different because they put a Vietnamese spin on it and somehow it works even better than the original. Bold, saucy, wok-fired perfection.
Now. Mom’s rice cake dish — I cannot pronounce it but I CAN tell you exactly what’s in it: shrimp, crunchy pork rinds, finished with fish sauce and Thai chilies. It sounds simple. It is NOT simple. It is layered, funky, crispy, savory and I was not prepared for how good it was. That dish alone earns all five stars.
No alcohol here but their Thai tea is genuinely elite. Thick, creamy, cold — does the job beautifully.
If you haven’t been to Pho Hue Oi yet, what are you even doing? Go. Bring people. Order everything.”
“Best New Wave salad! 🙌👍
The ahí tuna is mixed with a delicious sauce and veggies over a bed of warm rice. A single order could feed 4. Wow!!
Delicious, and the entire team is very friendly and patient with ordering, particularly when it's a new biz with new and unfamiliar food items.
Best part, there's no dairy or lactose! 🙏 😇 Over 60% of American adults over 30 yo have some form of this, so this biz is ahead of their time with nutritious foods like this. The red tea is incredible, tropical and floral.
Thanks to everyone who made my experience so pleasant. 🌟💚”
“We had the good fortune of stumbling across Moom Maam gelato when deciding on someone to cater our company's summer event. The flavors were delicious and many were options that you really can't find anywhere else. Their homemade waffle crisp was a surprise hit as well (and gluten free!), and with several vegan options, they were a caterer that truly could have a little something for people regardless of diet restrictions. And despite the whopping number of flavors they brought (15!!) the lines moved along at a good clip--managing to serve hundreds within 2 hours--and the portions were generous.”
“They have an awesome multiple day deals you can try. We went on a Tuesday for the gryo wraps and fries combo that could feed up to 5 people.
The gyro was decent and the fries were nice and crispy. The portions were a little bit small, so it felt like it could likely feed 4 instead of 5.
The staff was very nice and friendly.”
“We found this place by accident and decided to try some açaí right away and I’m so glad we did. I have to say. if you’re looking for a real Brazilian superfood açaí experience, you’re going to love this place. It’s one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had outside of Brazil. The staff is very friendly, and on top of that, you can choose unlimited toppings. Highly recommend!”
