    This review is for Happy Diner's Catering service. Roman and his crew know how to cater a party! I chose option #1 and everything was delicious. My family had Happy Diner cater a few parties before, so I knew the quality and care I was going to receive. They were professional all the way, they detailed their menu and services, gave me a fair price and delivered on quality, friendly service and great taste. They transformed my backyard party into a fancy yet casual celebration. They made me feel as if I was the boss, I cannot express enough my gratitude for Roman and his crew. If you don't hire Roman for your next party, enjoy a meal at his restaurants, Happy Diner.

    Great service , great staff .. good served hot and fresh to order ., kinda loud local hangout joint .. parking kinda small during peak times

    Coconut Pineapple Waffle

    Quick attentive service, and delicious food. The egg, bacon and waffle special was a good choice. The waffle was fluffy inside and crispy on the outside with a great amount of pineapple and shredded coconut. Lots of parking.

    My aunt brought my mom and I here for breakfast the other day and I opted for the Meat Lovers Omelette. Our waitress brought me my plate with the food almost hanging off and some hash brown fell, sloppy work. She was also inattentive but it is what it is. Back to the food, I was a little over it after the first few bites and the hash brown had somewhat of a weird flavor. The omelette itself tasted a bit too oily/buttery to my liking and I got a little stomach ache afterwards. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again.

    This place pretty much always hits, you honestly can't really go wrong, I always come here for breakfast so I can't say much about lunch or dinner items, but can always count on having a yummy breakfast here! Service when I go is usually bare minimum, so I feel it could be better, but as far & food and portions go it's definitely something I can recommend & keep going back to!

    Roy  enjoying the new happy diner off of Western and 25th St. so happy
    Dr Nasa D.

    New location right off Western and 25th yummy awesome food, friendly service and reasonable prices breakfast sandwich and meatloaf sandwich are my favorites. Roy is having the Spanish omelette they have traditional diner food, but they also have some bomb Mexican dishes that are totally legit and I've liked everything. I've tried here and at their other locations. This is a family business and it's very consistent and there's always a family member present making sure everything is right. Give it a try. It's nice convenient spot for South Shores and upper San Pedro now has a happy diner, conveniently close to Palos Verdes also and the nearby beach and Royal Palms great place to start the day with your family before a big day at the beach

    Veggie Omelette

    THIS PLACE IS PERFECT. Fast service, amazing food and the coziest restaurant. The menu is huge. They have all breakfast items with lunch and dinner options. It's hard to make a decision! The parking lot is a bit small and the location is odd but there's parking on the street too. This is a perfect spot to go for breakfast or brunch! The workers are the best too, friendly atmosphere for sure.

    Spacious indoor dining area

    I didn't know a place like this existed. I came with a friend from work who was familiar with the area and she knew of this place. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and treated like family. I watched as other customers came in after me, and the staff knew them by first name. We sat in their spacious dining area and I ordered the San Pedro Burrito. It came recommended by the server. When my food came, the server brought both red and green sauce to go with my food. After cutting the burrito in half, you could see and feel the steam coming out of it! It was hot and you could see the melted cheese spreading as I pulled the burrito apart. You could tell, this place cooks their food with their hearts and every dish has it's own personal touch from the cooks. Please stop by and try this place. You will be pleasantly surprised. I was!

    They have a big selection, with breakfast being their "best". Food is delicious, and they will happily adjust your order to your request/diet ( I do it all the time). I feel like we get a good value for the money. They are very good about keeping your drinks filled, and the food comes up quick after you order. Parking at this location can get packed, so sometimes we choose to park on the street ( spaces are close together). Two restrooms available at this location, both large enough to accommodate handicapped access. It can get crowded, especially early in the day, so be prepared. The downside: the noise. It's very noisy. You will not have an "intimate dining experience", that's for sure. If you are looking for that, this isn't your place. There is one bus boy and one very loud waitress that works on the weekend, plus the kitchen staff are always dropping things and making noise (the kitchen is up front and out in the open). For a family outing ( that's what we are... a family of four), it's just fine, and doesn't bother us. ENJOY!

    Azteca omelet

    I can't rave enough about this place. First time there today with my sister and her husband. We tried each others and we were all impressed. And will be back on a weekly basis. I can't wait to try the other items on the menu. Service was great. Our server was super friendly and all around just a great personality- I wish I could remember her name but the food coma has set in.

    Friendly employees and delicious food! Took a while for our food to be served, but we weren't in any rush so the slower service didn't bother us. This place was quite busy in the early afternoon. Will come back sometime!

    Breakfast Burrito - great price and quality!

    I decided to try this spot and ordered the coffee bread along with an horchata latte. The coffee…read morebread was good and honestly reminded me of the coffee bread they used to serve at school, which was a little nostalgic! It had a good flavor, but it was a bit dry and didn't seem like it was freshly made that day. I feel like if I caught it fresh, it would probably be much softer and even better. For my horchata latte, I ordered it with only one shot of espresso since I don't like my coffee too strong. Even with one shot, the coffee flavor was still a little too strong for me, so I ended up adding some extra milk. If you prefer sweeter, less coffee forward drinks like me, that's something to keep in mind. The service was great, and employee was nice and friendly. The inside is also really cute, and parking was super easy, which is always a plus! The coffee bread was around $6 and the latte was a little over $7, so I'd say the prices are pretty comparable to most coffee shops and overall affordable. Overall, a cute spot with great service. I'd definitely be willing to come back and try the coffee bread again!

    The Pancake Spot in Wilmington is a good little breakfast spot. I got the coffee cake, and it was…read morepretty good. It definitely gives you that old-school breakfast-at-school coffee cake vibe--and if you grew up in the area, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The place is nice and clean, and they're pretty quick with the food too. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for a quick breakfast. I'd come back!
