The place is so comfortable and clean. It is not loud like a standard bar and there are places to sit that are super quiet. The service is super nice. They will take goo care of you. I love the music they play. I am so sick of elevator music and they don't do that. I really enjoy that. All of their food is great, but I am hooked on their salads. Their Sartori Caesar is one of my favorites. It has super fresh crisp romaine hearts with freshly grated parmesan cheese, sourdough croutons and house-made Caesar dressing. I love the dressing. Their Big Newport Wedge is better than most is has the best iceberg wedge topped with applewood smoked bacon, balsamic red onion, tomato and a great blue cheese dressing. All the food is great and we eat more than just salad, but their salad is a stand out.

We've been here four times in the past month alone! The first time we stopped by, they were sold…read moreout an hour before closing, so we left empty-handed. The same thing happened on our second visit, and we were honestly heartbroken. However, Sunny (I think that was his name) went above and beyond to make sure we still got to experience their food. He kindly gave us samples of the Spam musubi and fried chicken to take home. That's 100% top-notch customer service right there! Since then, we've returned twice more with friends, and the food has been absolutely amazing. The shrimp is hands-down my favorite, and the karaage chicken with the green sauce is super addictive. I also finally got to try the crispy Spam musubi, which was unique and delicious . We'll definitely keep coming back. In fact, I'm tempted to throw a party just so I have an excuse to cater from them! Even though they're located inside a food hall, you can take your food and enjoy it anywhere in The Enclave's spacious outdoor seating area, which makes it a great spot to hang out and enjoy a meal with friends.

I can't believe I slept on this gem of a restaurant for years before giving it a try…read more Nowadays, when I do come in I switch between the #75 and #76. The Reuben with corned beef and the Reuben with pastrami. Both plates come with your choice of a salad and pickles. I recommend the potato salad; it's my culinary guilty pleasure. Truthfully, I don't get that much a smoky taste from the pastrami, but it's still delicious. That corned beef is so wonderful, it's so tender and falls apart so easily upon a bite. Their soda menu is a very lowkey, unsung hero. I've tried soda brands you don't typically see in grocery stores. Their ginger ale hits the spot without fail each time. I think one drawback is that this place doesn't allow adjustments. I've personally never asked for any, but I can see how other customers might find that off-putting. I typically do a pick-up order vs. dining in, but when I do enjoy the sandwich in the restaurant - the service is super quick and cordial. The interior of the place itself isn't exactly upscale, but it's also more polished than a standard diner. TONS of seating inside and a few tables outside if you want to enjoy your food with some fresh air. I'm not in New York often, but I'm so glad I can get some quality food with east coast hospitality locally.

Walking up to the restaurant, I noticed there were many outdoor patio tables lining the sidewalk. The deli counter is the first thing you see when you walk in, but there's a huge indoor dining area. The sign states to seat yourself, so as soon as I seated myself, staff provided me with a menu. I ordered a coffee and hot pastrami sandwich on rye bread which comes with a choice of salad. I chose the cucumber salad. The pastrami sandwich was huge. It was packed with a lot of high quality, tender pastrami meat. The plate also comes with a side of pickles, so yes, I was full afterwards. My coffee cup was always filled, tasted good, and hot. The two staff that were waiting on all the tables were friendly and efficient. There was never a moment I felt neglected. It's prefect for both small and large groups. Parking: Free, shared strip mall. Crowded, small parking spaces.

The restaurant was pretty busy and there were people waiting outside for a table. It looked promising so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself isn't very big, but is cozy and inviting. It's not like your typical chain restaurant. Definitely has that local neighborhood Italian restaurant feel. We probably waited a good 15-20 minutes for a table. Staff were very nice and kept us up to date on the status of our table. While waiting, they offered samples of their bread, then samples of their rigatoni with pink sauce. All delicious! Nirvana was our server and she was great! She was friendly and attentive. She gave us enough time to browse the menu and even made suggestions. My mom ordered the bolognese, I got the chicken Marsala, and my husband got their calzone and added pepperoni. We got the mozzarella balls to share as an appetizer. Everything was delicious, but I liked my chicken Marsala the most. Portions were a good size, as well. They don't have a dessert menu, but they give you fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies after your meal. There are a few more items on their menu that I want to try so we'll definitely be back!

Over a decade ago,…read morethe father used to run this place, and now the son has brought it back--and somehow made it even better. You can really feel the passion and legacy in the food. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The standout for me was the Philly cheesesteak--it was absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked meat, great seasoning, and everything just came together so well. On top of that, it's fairly priced, especially for a halal Philly cheesesteak, which is hard to find done this well. It's rare to see a place come back after so many years and actually improve, but Inferno Grill did exactly that. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

The food was absolutely delicious as well, from the hors d'oeuvres to the salad and main course, everything was wonderful. The people here genuinely care about their guests and the community.

Service was slow, but all right. The BFD cheeseburger we ordered for HH was tasty, like a larger In-N-Out burger with the Russian dressing inside. Fries were extra crispy, yet tender inside, which is the perfect fry, in my opinion. Also had a bite of the kimchee fried rice, which was pretty good, albeit a tad too oily. Overall, decent food at a historic establishment in Old Torrance. Definitely go for Happy Hour for the best deals!

While I love anything fried, I gravitated toward the grilled chicken, and my gut (and stomach, haha) did not lead me astray. Honestly, though, I think you could look away from the menu, stick out your finger, and order whatever it lands on-blind-box that thing! Whatever you end up with, I'm pretty sure you'd be happy. The ambiance was conducive to conversation, and the service was stellar. This will definitely be on repeat.

You have to be pretty confident in your chicken preparation, cooking, and serving skills if you're…read moregoing to open a restaurant all about chicken. Gaburi Chicken executes their chicken dishes well, satisfying even the biggest of chicken cravings. The chicken was crispy and juicy in all the right ways in all the right places. Definitely umami overload. While the chicken itself was seasoned well with a slight smoky flavor throughout, the pleathora of dipping sauces was definitely necessary. Mix and match, get crazy with it, there are no wrong answers. The sesame green onions were definitely a highlight. The garlic butter from the garlic rice was poured onto our chicken; what's not to like? The price is probably my biggest stumbling block. You must be bold to sell a chicken thigh for $18 knowing there are places that sell entire chickens for $5. To be honest, if I were craving chicken, I would go to Jollibee's. Maybe I just don't appreciate the craft, but I feel that the focus of this restaurant is simply the appetizer at many others. Service was great. Cutting the chicken tableside, clearing out the dishes quickly, taking our orders quickly. Some servers didn't seem too friendly or welcoming, but that's fine. This is a great place to try once with a small group of people, but in the end, I couldn't get over the fact that it was just fried chicken.

We ordered the sisig and the lechon, and both were outstanding, but the lechon truly blew us away. It had the most flavorful, juicy meat and the crispiest, most perfectly seasoned skin we've ever had in the US. It genuinely felt like a taste of home. The service was just as wonderful. Kristel was incredibly friendly and attentive, and we even got to meet the owner, Zaldy, who treated us like family. He even surprised our son with ice cream which was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. The restaurant itself is clean, cozy, and has a welcoming vibe. We loved that they have karaoke too and we ended up singing along and had a great time. Ethan's Belly Boink is a true hidden gem. We'll definitely be back soon
