Shrimp Ceviche
Danielle F.

Good place to grab a quick bite to eat at the Galleria Mall. The tacos were good, filling, and the spicy salsa was so spicy! The taco plate came with decent rice and beans. I wasn't a huge fan of the shrimp ceviche - only the shrimp tasted good and the vegetables in it were just okay. The food came out quickly and was packaged nicely. I'd eat here again when at the mall!

The food here is so good especially the street corn with cheese and mayo. The shrimp ceviche is awesome too and the portion is much bigger than I had anticipated. For mall food, this pace is top notch!

The sign says 7.99 ended up being charged 12.00 for it food is excellent but the lady could have been nicer

Taquitos con carnitas, rice and beans

We were craving Mexican food and we haven't tried the place in the South Bay galleria mall so we figured why not. The food was actually pretty good and the servers we nice and helpful with what to order and etc.

Pork pozole. Weekends in December and January only.
Brian W.

It's mall food court food. Expect little and you will not be disappointed. The December/January weekend special, pork pozole, is... alright. It's a good step up from crappy cafeteria pozole but is still fundamentally nothing special. That said it's a nice non-big-chain to have inside the mall and hence is a worthy alternative.

Second time here, this is my first time ordering nachos. Thank you to Juan for his great customer service. The nachos were bomb!

Francisco C.

In one word , horrible. Was so disgusting and wouldn't come back really outrageous pricing for some nasty food Wasted $20 for a nasty meal. Need better meat and better everything

The food is always on point. About to watch a movie. 100 times better than theater food and less than half the money.

This food court at Del Amo Fashion Center is huge and clean with a lot of seating. The one stall…read morethat caught my eye was Shake Shack. I really wanted to eat there, but I already had my take out from Din Tai Fung. The eateries that are currently there: -Chipotle Mexican Grill -Panda Express -Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar -Devil & Angel -Sarku Japan -Charleys Philly Steaks -Shake Shack -Genghis Khan Genghis Khan had the longest line by far. Everyone was standing in line picking their veggies and proteins. After they filled their bowls the workers would cook it on a large cast iron top. It's like Mongolian bbq. I wanted to try this place as well. Too bad I only have one stomach.

It's been a LONG time since I walked through the Del Amo Fashion Center from one end to the other…read moreand WOW they have made a LOT of changes! One big change is this food court, which feels much more upscale now. If you've looking for a McDonalds or Chick-fil-a, you won't find them here! (a very good thing, IMHO) The large seating area feels modern, clean and bright. There is lots of sunlight from the large skylights, plus lots of "green" with a large number of live plants everywhere, including on the walls! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/patio-cafes-food-court-torrance?select=yZ4UEDuevCdjPWCC96ucOg https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/patio-cafes-food-court-torrance?select=0P-9KcwSvZJm8NoJ9Fa-Cg https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/patio-cafes-food-court-torrance?select=u4D0Vk8XZPjNiQMYKL-6SA You have 10 different food options (well, 7 since 3 are pizza) to choose from.

This place is a gem. It's a small location with big flavors. Location is always neat and clean…read more We've taken our food to go and we have dined in. When you dine in they bring metal cups with an icy cold carafe of cold water to your table. Customer service is efficient. The person behind the counter is very soft spoken and gives you a slight smile but gets your order correct every time. Hands down so don't argue with me they have the absolute BEST orange chicken. It has a slight crunch on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside. The orange sauce is perfection. It has a great balance of salty and sweet without being overly sweet like an orange candy. It's not tart and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They put the right amount of sauce so it is not drenched. Pair it with the garlic rice and the salad that crops and fresh no dressing is even needed. Order this and you will be happy. The regular white rice is good too! The Zapp chicken is crunchy, juicy and spicy. I normally cannot eat spicy but this one is perfect. Since my 24 year old son told me about this restaurant I've been here four times in the past month. Simply delicious!!!

Ordered online for take out. Was ready on time…read more 1. Original hainan chicken: there was a lot of chicken though a bit dry. The house spicy sauce wasn't really spice. The sesame soy sauce was better. Neither was the ginger green onion that I would expect at other Hainan places. Garlic rice had nice flavor. 2. Fried gyoza: Fried well. Liked the filling. Good with or without the sweet dipping sauce. Overall, both items were good and would get again but I prefer the ginger scallion sauce.

Unable to reach you directly Sharon…read more Thank you for your response and for apologizing for the confusion. My concern is not only whether the fee is adjusted later, but that I am being presented with and asked to approve a surcharge at the time of checkout when I am using a debit card. This has now happened more than once, and staff have refused to remove the fee before completing the transaction. As a customer, I am not comfortable authorizing a transaction that includes what appears to be an inaccurate surcharge and then relying on a later adjustment on the back end. That process is not transparent and does not make me feel confident as a patron. The California Attorney General's guidance states that merchants may not mislead customers or hide differences between credit, debit, and cash pricing, and debit card surcharges are generally not permitted even when run as credit. I hope this can be corrected at the point of sale so that debit card customers are not presented with this fee moving forward.

This is my favorite place to dine when I'm at Del Amo Mall. One gets to fill their bowl with meats…read moreand or vegetables so it's a good place for vegetarians and meat eaters. Going there at lunchtime can be a long wait. I've seen lines of over 30 people waiting to pay and select their orders. So I go there either when they open or after 1 pm. I've never encountered a significant wait at those hours. I've been dining there over a decade and always found the food to be fresh. The staff are friendly, not exuberant with thanks. But considering is mainly self-service I'm not bothered by not being welcomed or thanked for my business. It is what is. I do recommend this location for wok dining. The price is fair and your money goes a long way.
