Burgers are insane, stacked tall with amazingness and have a ton of flavor. We placed an order easily online and it was ready promptly. My son and I shared the BULL ($19 - Bulgogi, Kimchi, Caramelized Onion, Shishito Peppers, Spring Mix, American, Cheddar, Korean Aioli) and it was amazing. It could have possibly had more aioli spread evenly on it if I had one very, very minor complaint. We also shared the Shishito Peppers because they were out of their awesome Brussel Sprouts ($10.00 - Lup Cheong Sausage, Chili Garlic Soy Reduction, Gochu-q) and man, that sausage is sick...so good. I wanted for more but at $10, it is a great side portion and the sauce that it came with was amazing...I kept dredging and dredging. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I used to frequent Seafood Port before with family and friends (at one point I even became the Yelp Duchess of the place) and so it was quite nostalgic to step back into this spot and see the change. The IHOP Is bright and clean and I could tell they did a lot of work to transform the old mom and pop Chinese restaurant to become this breakfast spot. I came early on Sunday and on Father's Day and I expected it to be quite busy but perhaps because I came a bit early (7:30ish), it wasn't too packed yet. The waiter gave the menus and took our orders right away but I did notice the food orders took a bit despite not having too many customers there. Overall though, the food was worth the small wait. The pancakes which IHOP is known for were soft, fluffy and delicious. I also enjoyed our omelette which we custom made with pork sausage and mushrooms. I also thought that the overall service was friendly and good. I enjoyed visiting this new IHOP and it's nice to have another one in Torrance. Though I do miss the old Seafood Port Chinese restaurant that was at this location, I am glad that another good spot replaced it.

Was here with a large group during midweek dinner hours. Manuela, the server was kind and took care of about a dozen or so of us. We were the only diners in and biz picked up eventually. Since I already had pancakes earlier in the day, didn't repeat. Pancakes for dinner were the choice for the majority of my friends. Some chose steak and others chose breakfast entrees with eggs, hash browns, or fries. My dinner was super inexpensive from the basic value menu- a BLT and fries for $7. I also opted for a side of fruit for $3.99. A-OK and the other half of my sandwich was fine at lunch the next day. Parking was plentiful and easy in the shared lot in the large strip mall. It's your typical IHOP/diner. My friends noted how bright the colors are on the ceiling and walls as it's a new IHOP. 3 stars!

The service is friendly and the process of ordering is self-intuitive and easy and the time process is quick knowing it is custom cooked to order for every customer that can be 10-15 mins or so and you can be in and out dining in quickly or take a meal "to-go" quicker. The steak is or was, mediocre. This is a seafood restaurant and specialty. If you come here, I'd say don't do the surf and turf (steak) but opt for more seafood. The shrimp grilled in the shell is lackluster because the shrimp often sticks into the shell and dry out, harder to eat and less delicious, in my opinion. All of the fishes that are grilled are great and the best options.

I wasn't impressed with those, sad to say. There was little meat on the bones. Also, it was dry & tough to chew, as if they'd been microwaved. I could clearly tell, because it was a chore, to saw the meat from the bones. The grilled broccoli was burnt but the sweet potatoes were good. Not a good value for the cost of the meal. Wood Ranch could use a real pit master because that barbecue is disappointing. On a lighter note, the atmosphere is relaxed and the service was great.

Anyway, when we arrived, it was just after 10PM on a Friday night. Though the area was bustling, we were able to find easy street parking less than a block away. The restaurant was busy, but there were plenty of open tables. The place had a bit of the old diner type of vibe, but it was definitely more upscale and modern. We were greeted and seated right away. As we sat down, I saw some of the food being brought out and everything looked great. The menu was quite vast, so it took some time to decide. We decided to start out with the California Tots. They were a huge plate of crispy tots with cheese sauce, bacon and lots of other toppings. It was probably enough for us to share for dinner. However, I then had my mind set on the Tuna Manhattan, which was sort of a fancy tuna melt. The offered a regular tuna melt (off menu) if I preferred. The Tuna Manhattan was served on a bun with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a huge slice of avocado. It came with a side salad, fries, or soup. They also offered me some other sides I could substitute as well, such as onion rings or sweet potato fries. When I asked about the soup selection, they gave me four I could choose from. I ordered the French Onion. Anyway, the portions were generous and everything was delicious. It was also a great value for the amount and quality of food. The Kettle is open 24 hours. If you ever want late night (or anytime) eats in Manhattan Beach, I highly recommend The Kettle for a good solid meal.

So when we heard they were opening a new location in the Redondo Village, we were excited. Even more so to learn they'd be offering dinner and cocktails as well. For a newly opened location, we were thrilled to see they were already well staffed. Coffee and water were served quickly, giving us time to look over the menu. The moment I closed the menu, a server was right there ready to take our order. It was really busy when we visited, so we expected a wait for our food, but no, 10 minutes later our omelette and eggs Benedict arrived. A few minutes after that, the owner stopped by to chat, and we learned how they were able to open the restaurant so quickly. (Turns out it wasn't quick at all, they'd been looking for a location for quite some time.) We were so impressed that we went back two days later for a late afternoon sandwich.

Nick's Manhattan Beach will always hold a special place in our family's heart…read more In August 2025, I made a dinner reservation at Nick's because my parents were visiting from out-of-town and we had some exciting news to announce: we were pregnant with our first baby! :) On the reservation, I noted this, and didn't expect much. The day of the reservation, the host manager called to confirm that we wanted to share the news at dessert, and if there were any other accommodations we needed, which was very sweet. When we arrived at our table, they had a card signed by staff congratulating us, and it was a night to remember. Great food, great service, and the warm hand towels after my dad demolished the baby back ribs were the cherry on top! Our group also ordered the chilean sea bass, salmon, and bistro plate. 10/10. One of our final meals as a family of two was Valentine's Day 2026. It was our first time being seated indoors, and the ambiance was dim and romantic. The meatloaf special was fantastic! Fast forward to June 2026, and we brought our 3-month-old son to his first NIck's meal (unfortunately, he could not partake) and to celebrate my husband's first Father's Day. On this reservation, I put in a request for outdoor seating that gave us enough room to park our stroller and car seat, and they were able to accommodate that. They were also understanding when me and my husband were running a few minutes past our reservation time due to fhe baby, and we appreciated the flexibility. Noise level was moderate, but definitely quieter outside. If you get nothing else from this review, just remember this: ORDER THE WARM BUTTER CAKE. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. Thanks for the consistent hospitality and great meals, Nick's!
