Stopped by The Pan in Gardena located on the corner of Western Ave and 166th St., after noticing…read morethe rare sight of a smaller weekday or weekend crowd, and I'm glad we did. I ordered the "Original" Fully Loaded Hash Browns and a variety of pancakes were the star, crispy edges on my hash browns, generous toppings, and a portion size that could easily feed two people seriously. It's one of those dishes that feels indulgent in the best way. The restaurant has a relaxed, casual feel, and the service was impressively fast without losing any attention to detail. Parking is definitely tight, so plan on grabbing a spot along 166th if you're trying to beat the rush. A satisfying brunch experience with comfort food done right. Miguel C.

The steak was tender, juicy, and cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes were definitely a hit too. Even though they were packed, the service was still good. It's a small space. Just be prepared to wait a little if you're going on the weekend. Trust me, it's worth it. A solid breakfast spot that's been holding it down for years and one I'll definitely keep coming back to.

Very friendly, offered good suggestions and had a general good vibe about them. I am so bad at getting their names. I only remember Joseph and he was cool but our table was handed over to another waitress shortly after arrival and I don't remember her name but she was great. I'm super indecisive, especially with massive menus - Cheesecake Factory is a nightmare - but The Pan had a great variety so it made the choice a bit difficult. I saw they had a cuban sandwich and I froth at the mouth for these but I was convinced to try the loaded hashbrowns. We actually got into a little conversation about the miscommunication between restaurants and customers sometimes because everyone's definition of hashbrown is different. Are they the McDonalds oval shaped golden discs or the shredded and pancake-style flat things? OR are they those weird onion and pepper potatoes that some people call hashbrowns even though they are home fries BUT they're not even fried, they're sauteed so clearly having an identity crisis but anyway... The Pan's loaded hashbrowns are.... the shredded kind! :D Wow, if someone actually broke through my review and read my potato rant... I'm buying you breakfast here... Limit $20 :) Anyway... couldn't help but order my plate with a guava pancake as I've never heard of that before and tried stepping a little out of my comfort zone and trying something a bit different. Was very yummy, although I have my eye on the banana pancakes for next time. Glaze was a little runnier than expected, although I did take a minute to dive into the pancake as I was preoccupied by the hashbrowns - delicious by the way. Hashbrowns came loaded with: cheese, green onion, chopped pieces of bacon (thick kind, not bacon bits!) and diced sausage (turkey sausage is an option, so I'll def opt for that next time). Dish was nicely seasoned, no overpowering spices or unnecessary aiolis - wait, actually it did come with a chili aioli but it was more like a spicy mayo and it was not spicy, so it's a good dish for anyone to enjoy. Only thing was it arrived a bit cold; cheese wasn't thoroughly melted but the flavors compensated for that easily so it wasn't really a bother at all. Dish also lacked grease and for it being absolutely covered in cheese, bacon, and sausage, I was happier than heck that there were no grease pools. Service was good, although they lagged a bit with refills - they get insanely busy though so I get it. Again, they compensated with good vibes, suggestions, overall interactions so I wouldn't worry about a lack of attention here. I would probably not advise against ordering the guava pancake; however, it wasn't anything incredibly special so I'd opt for a different flavor if going the pancake route. I'll be back soon - need to try out that Cuban sandwich and get the name of our waitress! Thanks for having us, was a lovely experience.

There's a big free parking lot which is a huge plus. Be ready to wait during brunch hours on the weekends. It's worth the wait though. On a Sunday around 10:30am, it was about a 45 minute wait for 3 people. Luckily there's a claw machine store right next door to kill the time. Once we got seated, the service was friendly and fast. The Loaded Hash Browns were delicious and a big portion. I do wish the hash browns was a little more crispy though. It's a nice clean diner with a country cooking feel. It's not too big, which is probably why there can be a long wait.

It's a small space so the restaurant has a very casual and cozy vibe. The posters and menu does look like it was made with AI which is really off putting. I ordered the Southern and the biscuits and gravy we huge, but surprisingly light and not too dense. It was pretty alright, but country gravy always is elevated by more pepper and some tabasco. The potatoes were well seasoned and the bites with the extra crisp on them were the best. The cinnamon roll pancakes were really tasty and the small bits of burnt cinnamon sugar were really tasty. I was hoping the cream cheese frosting had a bit more cream cheese taste but still good.

Service was very friendly including our server and the hosts. I was impressed that when they brought all of our food out, there were multiple servers and they knew which dish belonged to whom in our party of 5. They have a wide variety of menu options. I ordered the lamb burger because it's not something you normally see on a restaurant menu. It was delicious! Everyone in our group really enjoyed their food. Looking forward to going back!

This has always been a solid 4 stars for me here. Food and drinks are consistently good. But…read morenothing that really makes me crave to come back. The Raised by Wolves cocktail is a tried and true cocktail. If you like a bit of spice, order this one! I also tried the ube cocktail this time. I was hesitant when I saw it come out as a candy blue looming drink. But it tastes creamier than it looks. And not as sweet as it looks. It's decently balanced. Looks like melted snow cone. The last time we came here, what made me take a star away was just the over all price and service. Cocktails are $18 and that is really steep for an every day kind of cocktail. If I'm paying $18, I'd like it to be a special occasion but this isn't exactly that. It's elevated but not that much. And service from Daniel was good. He checked in on us just the right amount of time. But mannnn that personality is a flat line. Hostess was cheerful. Ambiance is pleasant. I just can't really justify the cost here for what it is. It's a love hate here. Maybe I need a second job to support my wants.

We are big fans of the insurrectionist DH ipa and them having underbergs is a big plus for us. The food is where this place shines for us. The menu is curated around Hispanic/ Mexican flavors and they knock it out of the park everytime (dodger game is on lol) the rib eye taco, the fish tacos, the chicharrones with guacamole and salsa verde and the wings with a lime ranch are absolutely killer! We don't mind driving 30 minutes from home to come and visit them. The service is amazing, it reminds me of a proper restaurant where staff is always walking by and making sure everyone is ok. It's a dodger brewery so the ambiance can be good!

Getting a pancake was out of the question as just one went for nearly 7 dollars. That was too bad because it would have been nice. The food is definitely good so come check it out, I'll give more options on the menu a try on my next visit. The service was good so expect them to look after ya.
