    I am not the type of person that writes Yelps for chain restaurants because, in general, the links in a chain should be standard in their sameness. True, some links are positioned in the chain in such a way where they are given the opportunity to serve in a more purposeful way, while others are located in the chain in a place where their function never had the chance to shine, but in general links should perform at the same baseline. Thus, I write for chain restaurants when a link under or over performs from these baseline expectations. And this I-hop was a chain link that not only sustained a quality dining experience but hoisted the expectation. For example, in my many years of eating out, I do not think that I have seen an I-hop, or Denny's or similar restaurant sing a version of the happy birthday song to a patron. But, here, in this restaurant, a group of servers, rallied around the table and sang happy birthday to a patron, with modest joy. I cheer for them, for adding this simple yet important touch. I say this because I am a person who is big on birthdays. I mean every year marks a milestone of survival, in a world where decay of life happens, by dreadful intention, casual default, unexpected circumstance, and vending machines falling down a la final destination. Plus, at one point, all will cease to have their next birthday. So when a person is brave enough to announce I am celebrating my birthday, it should be met with off key singing. Additionally, for some people, I-hop might seem like a throw away choice for a birthday meal place. But for some people I-hop might be the "nice" restaurant for a birthday meal. And for the second group, this place delivered a little bit more of candle light quality. I know it might seem weird to fixate on a birthday song, but, I know there a lot of people out there who find true glee (pun intended) when they are sang to on the anniversary of their birth. Another thing that was stellar for this place was the service. This experience happened a few weeks ago, but I want to say that the server who was lovely at her job was named Angel, (she read female). I might be wrong, but I might be right. The person who I had lunch with, wanted an omelette. There was an option for an omelette and unlimited pancake combo, which was the better deal. in places like this, the the best deals are unlocked by the choices we make, which is also a good life philosophy, if you kind of think about it. Angel, informed us, that she would allow for a second stack of pancakes to be taken home. I loved her suggestion because it would be hard to eat the omelette and the pancakes and then a second stack. This type of consideration being offered by the server instead of being asked for by the customer, is next level courtesy, and thus it is grand that it came from a server named Angel. Then the pancakes came, and the to-go plate was more like a pod. I clipped the picture for evidence. The pancakes were strawberry and cream, and, the extra room on the lid allowed for the whip not to be smushed into a mess. One time I went to a meditation spot, and I was placed in a pod that made the experience better. One time I got an MRI and then made me feel entombed. The pancakes were in the pod not the tomb. I also think that this place just generally had a lighter and more clean fill that other I-hops. I am not sure why this place developed such an aesthetic and service-forward culture, but I for one hop a bit in salute to this chain in the link.

    Located off Redondo Beach Blvd. in Gardena. Formerly Carrows in Pacific Square. Lots of parking shared with all the businesses in the square. This IHOP is opened 24hours as well. You can dine in or take out and curb side pick up is available as well. The place is fairly new so of course it looks nice and clean inside. The staff was friendly and helpful. I did do a take out order and order two of the 55 breakfast sampler. Overall a good location and spot and 24 hours.

    This is what's left of a great meal!!

    I went to Gardena IHOP for my Free Stack of Pancakes. Got there at 6:25pm I put my name on their list. I waited 15 min then ordered. It was quick and easy. We just wanted our free stack of pancakes. Me & my bf added sausage with our plate. The tables looked cleaned but it was sticky will syrup. I just put napkin on top of it. Other than that we were satisfied. Next time I will get the 2 big spicy sausage links (looks as big as 4 regular sausage links). They tastes better than the regular 4 small sausage links.

    I ordered the breakfast sampler and I'm glad I did. The kitchen staff are amazing from our view. They fulfill orders right on schedule. Our server made sure we don't get bored from start to finish. Time well spent!

    I was around Gardena and came to this IHOP, Amber took our order she was great very friendly I was going to get the fruit bowl however, Amber told me they serve the impossible burger that made my day since I'm a VEGAN It was great delicious with lettuce tomato & pickles. The service was excellent the tables were clean and the floors and provided high quality service. I highly recommend this IHOP.

    Great service and great experience  The food is very good

    Customer service was great. Fast and convenient. Food was very good and well served. I highly recommended to come during the week because it's less packed. Plenty of seats and ambiance very relaxing. Issac and Jessica our servers were so helpful and attentive to our service experience was great. Thank you very much for a wonderful great experience in dining at ihop.

    This IHOP reopened recently, and hubs and I went to check it out. It is your standard ihop, but in the old location that local perennial favorite Carrow's was in. They made some good structural changes inside, so it seems larger and more spacious, but I would say the essence seemed the same. I tried something new (to me) from their menu - the lemon ricotta blueberry protein pancakes. What a (literal) mouthful to say! But to eat, they were outstanding! I really enjoyed the flavors, and that it had a decent amount of protein in the mix. They will be my go-to next time I return. Convenient, plentiful parking, and in same plaza with dim sim, Tokyo Central, and boba shops. Enjoy!

    Lupe is the best server!! They were very busy, and she remained attentive, and that's really appreciated. They listened and resolved, also appreciated. We'd return again.

    Front desk where we placed our order. Wish they would have checked to find what was supposed to be available online.

    Due to our family Thanksgiving get together being delayed until Saturday, we had to look for a stopgap meal to carry us over for Thanksgiving. We had planned to order some open faced turkey sandwiches at Marie Callendar's the day before with a pumpkin pie but were turned away being told they were only taking care of preordered Thanksgiving meal sets and were closed for everything else. We didn't really want to wait in line at one of the hotel buffets or pay about $80-100 per person at one of the restaurants in the area open on Thanksgiving since we were getting together with family on Saturday so we were faced with a true conundrum. Would Thanksgiving day be a McRib meal? As we drove home, we saw that the Carrows that had closed was replaced by an IHOP. Surely they would have some type of turkey dinner to give us an appropriate alternative! Well...kinda. No open faced turkey meal (even though the website says they do) but they did have a Cali Roasted Turkey Melt that had stuffing and cranberry sauce inside. Not perfect but it would do. We ordered 3 of them on sourdough but when we arrived back home, we found they had put them on multigrain which didn't thrill me but beggars can't be choosy. At least we wouldn't be eating McRibs on Thanksgiving. Mission accomplished, sort of. Real Thanksgiving was coming later and it was wonderful even though it was late. The new IHOP is very nice and clean inside. The service was rather slow but it was the day before Thanksgiving and many people were off work so it was understandable. The girl at the front desk was pleasant but didn't seem like she knew their menu very well. As I stated before, the turkey dinner is on the website though it wasn't on the menu provided. Maybe it was a breakfast or lunch menu? Getting our order wrong was disappointing too. Oh well, it is what it is or was. The parking lot is always crowded at Pacific Square so that's a bit of a hassle. The restaurant is open 24 hours so that was nice to know in case we ever get home late from Vegas or another long trip and everything else is closed. We'll have to come back for breakfast and see how it compares to the location in Carson we used to eat at.

    There should be more breakfast meat options other than pork products. The "turkey bacon" is inferior and sausage/links need to be added to their menu. Services is great....

Now, I'm not gonna hold you... it was expensive. I ordered through DoorDash and got a burger with jalapeño ranch, bacon, cheese, and a prickly pear lemonade. (The lemonade honestly just tasted like regular lemonade. Nothing to hype up.) My friend got tacos, a blueberry lemonade, and ranch, and somehow our total came out to $78. Absolutely wild. But back to this burger... I got it cooked medium rare, of course. I actually asked for no house sauce, but they put it on there anyway. Normally I'd be annoyed, but honestly... it didn't even matter because that burger was STILL incredible. As I was biting into it, the juices were literally running down my hands, onto my shirt, and onto my pants. Did I care? Absolutely not. I ate about 75% of it in one sitting because it was huge. Later, I came back and finished the rest cold because it had lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles on it, and I was too lazy to take everything off just to warm it up. And somehow... it was still delicious cold. Oh, and the tater tots? Super crispy. They paired perfectly with the jalapeño ranch.

    Been driving by this burger joint for approximately 17 years and never have it a second thought…read moreuntil just recently. Four days ago, I decided to stop by and check it out. It's a to go only joint. No place to sit unless you go old school 5-0 and use the trunk door of your shop as a table. 1st time I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl, very basic, chicken and rice only. Surprisingly, there were big chunks of chicken and the sauce was no overly sweet or thick, it was perfect in my opinion. The small bowl was very filling. I told my wife about it and the next day I order a bowl for her to try out. At the same time I ordered a teriyaki burger for me. The burger was a mess when I got home, the bun was soggy with the juice of the meat and the sauce. Plenty of napkins needed; however, the charred meat combined with it's flavor and the sauce made this a perfect meal. Ate it like a savage with sauce dripping at every bite. Today I looked at some reviews and a Yelper noted that he would challenge anyone to try the chili and to disagree that this chili was one of the best ones around. Well, I accepted the challenge and ordered a chilli burger, in case the chilli sucked, I could always just eat the burger. However, the chilli is very tasty and not oily as some other places I have tried. I concur with the other Yelper and would say that this is one of the best chilli I've had in a long, long, long time. The location is nothing to write about but you can always close your eyes when ordering and they will be open once you take a bite, at least of these three items I reviewed. Service was friendly, but as others have suggested, call your order in advance. You might encounter a long wait when you show up and get in line to order at the window. I will continue to frequent this location and will try a hot dog or chili dog next time.

It was evident as I smeared it just to confirm it wasn't dust particles. Fries were limp and undercooked. Couldn't taste any salt at all. Threw away 75% of it as the meal was ruined. Hopefully the owners correct the issue before the next health inspection.

But if you're willing to walk a bit, you can usually find a spot towards the farther end of the parking lot. We ordered the food online, and it was ready for us when we arrived. I love a good fish taco, so we decided to try a few different ones. We got some Marco Mahi Tacos that come with cabbage, tomato, cilantro, and crema. You can choose flour or house made corn tortilla. We also got the George Fish Taco that has battered Alaskan cod. Both were good, but I enjoyed it more with the salsa on top. They have a Gabe Portobello Taco which I thought was interesting! It has a battered portobello inside, which I thought was unique. I would get it again! They have a lot of fun side items. We got some Tom Yum Sidewinder Fries that have a tasty tom yum salt added to them. The salt doesn't stick to the fries the best, but you can kind of dip them back in the salt at the bottom of the container for some more of that salty tart flavor! The Potato Rings look like onion rings. They're basically a tater tot in ring form. Fun to eat, but I wish they gave a few more in the order. We also got Crispy Battered Green Beans and Fried Zucchini. Both come with ranch sauce for dipping and were pretty solid! I'll be back to try their sandwiches and pastas!

    Let be honest, this place is the kind of glorious chaos you only find when the universe says, "You…read moreknow what? You deserve a little trouble tonight." Party on Western is a hole‑in‑the‑wall dive bar in the most affectionate way possible. The kind of spot where the lights are dim, the playlist is fire, and the walls have definitely seen some things they'll never speak of again. You walk in and immediately feel like you've joined a secret society of people who just want good music, strong drinks, and zero judgment. People will always judge...who are we fooling. lol!! The playlist? It was on point for the spot, it wasn't just good, it was spiritually aligned with my bloodstream. Every song slapped. Every beat felt like it was personally trying to fix my life choices. I swear one track looked me dead in the eyes and whispered, "You're doing amazing, sweetie." Let's talk about these drinks because they were flirting with me HARD. * Jack on the Rocks, a simple classic that's smooth, cold, and acting like it knew me from a past life. It slid across the bar like, "Hey stranger... miss me?" * Chilled Tequila Shot...Wow, this one didn't flirt. This one grabbed me by the soul and said, "We're making memories tonight." * Jack & Coke, it was sweet, bold, and absolutely lying to me. It told me I was the main character. It told me I was unstoppable. It told me I could dance. It was wrong... but I believed it. Ha ha ha! By drink three, I was ready to text people I shouldn't and tell the bartender my entire life story. Didn't happen though. Ha ha ha! Oh wait a minute...I almost forgot...I ordered some hot wings to set the tone, and let me tell you, they came in HOT like they were auditioning for a music video. Perfect bar wings: messy, spicy, and exactly what you need to convince your stomach that the tequila was a good idea. Typical bar food across the board, nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just the classics and messy at its best. But let's be real: the drinks are the main event. The food is just there to keep you from making catastrophic decisions. At one point I swear my Jack & Coke winked at me. The tequila shot told me I deserved happiness. The wings told me to stop being dramatic. And the playlist told me to live my truth. This bar didn't just serve me drinks, it emotionally supported me. For better or worse, get over it! "The energy you give is the energy you receive...always keep that in mind! Just be happy!" Miguel C.

This place is old‑school comfort food, no dancing, no gimmicks, no trendy nonsense. Just a classic Gardena "G-Town" burger‑and‑breakfast joint that's been feeding hungry locals longer than some of us have been alive. I rolled in absolutely starving, sat right at the bar like I was front row at a breakfast concert, and ordered the steak and eggs with extra meat because my soul said "don't play with me today." And let me tell you, they must've seen the hunger in my eyes because that plate came out loaded. I'm talking "this might be a personal rescue mission" levels of loaded. When I saw my plate, I was like damn ...I am going to get personal and tear you up! That's how hungry the beast was inside of me. No regrets at all! The steak came out tender, salty, satisfying. And the eggs, over easy cause I wanted to make a mess of my beautiful plate. This whole plate felt like a warm hug from an old school diner that knows exactly what you came for. I must have had hungry....hungry written on my forehead head? The service was quick, friendly, and efficient, the kind of speed that tells you they've been doing this for decades and could cook breakfast with their eyes closed.
