I am so sad the Torrance location closed I honestly didn't think any LJS were still around but I have this location. I was so happy so my niece and I went to check it out and I agree with everyone's review the area/ plaza is very sketchy. We went around 1pm wasn't very busy we walked in and there was a young boy behind the counter. He didn't seem to be pleased to be working there he didn't smile or say much. My niece and I both asked for extra extra crunchies and we both got the smallest scoop under our chicken. I will say it's nice they make it to order that way the chicken tasted hot and fresh. I DO NOT LIKE THERE FRIES. Gross. The hush puppies were almost burnt but the mash potatoes was decent. read more

i think coated one of the most unhealthy fast food chains, but i'm not gonna lie, i love it and miss it being a bigger franchise. i believe this may be one of the last ones open in existence and i hope they can hang on longer for the sake of nostalgia and pure memory. read more

This is the closest LJS there is from where I live so I was hoping to get decent food. Let me tell you the food from LJS was fresh made to order. Everything was fantastic. Also the service I received was not far behind. The lady who I think was the manager and the other cashier were very nice. The lady who gave me my order was sweet as cake as well. Expect to wait about 10 min but very worth it. The place inside was nice and clean and people were lined up to order food. That says alot. Will be returning soon read more

doesn't look like much when you walk past but i was practically dying of hunger so i popped in. the definition of hole-in-the-wall. i got the fish sandwich and wow... there are no words. a classic fish sandwich done right. crisp bun, juicy fish patty stuffed with all the essentials (mayonnaise) not much to say except i will make this a ritual. every thursday night you can catch me here. i come after work come say hi if you see me read more

I've been eating at this franchise since the 80's. It's still got the best seafood fast food. When I worked a mile away I used to eat here every other day. I wish they had a Downtown LA location. read more

I drove all the way from Torrance to come here with my entire family. The restaurant has a sign posted that they are open till 9:00pm. I arrived at 8:25 with a family of 8 people hoping to sit down and eat inside. Not surprised at the terrible reviews. Turns out the staff started cleaning and flipping over chairs 45 minutes early, probably so they don't have to stay after. I feel bad for the owner of this location, if I knew my employees were pulling something like this they would be gone on the spot. Well at least our to go food was alright, thanks guys were eating it in the car on the road. read more

Long John Silver's - Not impressed, the one star location for this restaurant in a run down plaza is quite accurate - Fast Food Near Me - Gardena, California

Ordered 2 fish dinner combos from Long John Silver but unfortunately the order wasn't checked. When I got home, I had 2 chicken dinners from Kentucky Fried Chicken. Long John Silver and Kentucky Fried Chicken are together in the same venue. To say the least, I was pissed!! Too far to return order!! read more

I love this place and sad that more and more are closing. Food is pretty good. I went to the drive through so I can't comment on the inside.

I knew I should have just ordered a lil bite from the KFC menu but I decided to see what the hype was all about. After what took FOREVER, I finally got my food and it looked alright for what it is (greasy ole fish)...but after I forced myself to eat my food, my stomach started acting up...just another reminder to trust your instincts. THIS PLACE SUCKS read more

Don't ever eat here if you're accustomed to eating good food! They will ask you to wait 10 min for a fresh batch of planks and then serve you a re dipped batch saturated with dirty oil. Didn't even waste more often my life trying to get a refund! I would do more yelping if I could be more honest with my reviews. Yelp needs an option to give a horrible place no star at all! 1 undeserved star. read more

Long John Silver's - This is disgusting! - Fast Food Near Me - Gardena, California

This location is with the kfc built in... I'm not comfortable eating here, i think i might get shot. But the food is okay if you aren't looking over your shoulder all the Time. The fish and hush puppies are great. That's it. read more

This is NOT a Long John's it a KFC. If you're expecting to order the fish n chips ur at the wrong place. I'm disappointed, an can't believe they can advertise being a Long Johns n have only fried shrimp on the KFC menu, n get away with saying they r Long Johns. read more

Had a coupon for $1.00 off the 8 piece shrimp dinner. Had never had any seafood from her as I usually order the grilled chicken (KFC). The person at the register had to ask how to do the coupon but after some help he got it to work. My order was a carry-out. I waited as expected and then my order was handed to me. I took it without checking it (Wrong). Got home and when I opened the box threr were 8 pieces of burnt shrimp. The potatoe wedges had been cooked sometime today but definately were not fresh. Fortunately I live close so back I went. I asked for the Manager and showed her my order. She said she would redo it and she would cook it herself. She did and we checked it before I left the store the second time. Got it home and the taste was ok, the potatoes were hot and the shrimp were good. If you are looking for fish/seafood this is not the place to go. read more

Every time I walk in, I get an uncomfortable feeling...The glass windows always seem like they need cleaning. The food is passable along with the staff. Another local food place that needs to add some charm to keep bringing me back. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! I got the 2-piece fish yesterday--my first time ever at this location--and I woke up last night with painful stomach cramps and diarrhea. I've ordered from their KFC side before and never had a problem. (Never had a problem with any fast food actually.) She told me that they make everything to order so it would be an 8-9 minute wait. I said fine, but when I pulled up to the window my food was ready when I paid. So how long had that old fish been sitting there??? I am so angry! I had to call out sick from a new job where I don't have benefits yet and miss a day's pay thanks to these nasty people ignoring health codes. read more

Too expensive for what you get got all the to work, started eating it but there was NO hush puppies in the box. I was SOOOOO disapointed wanted to scream I'm not a happy camper. Food is so salty dont think I'll be eating here any time soon. read more

This is the second time I've eaten here in a ten year span. DO NOT EVER EAT HERE AGAIN, is what I am saying to myself. II gives me severe diarrhea every time. I only went because H Salt was closed. SMH read more

Ever since I moved away from the Midwest, I've craved Long John Silver's so much. There's just something about those sweet battered, hand dipped, made to order chicken and fish planks that you just can't find at other fast food places. Other fast food chicken strips come frozen in a bag, not these. They batter and fry them themselves at long John Silvers. (Oh how I love them!) That being said, because it takes a minute, there's always about a ten minute wait for your food so they have you pull around and wait in the parking lot for it. The area the place is located at is very sketchy and I always feel like I'm about to get robbed waiting. Sketchy people circle my car and look me up and down and it makes me feel super uncomfortable. To avoid getting murdered or robbed here, I always just send my friends to go pick it up for me instead. 5- stars for the food, 3 stars for the location. Oh- and it's attached to a KFC so if you don't feel like waiting the extra few minutes for deliciousness gold, you can always just order from the basic KFC menu. Oh- and depending on who's working, sometimes they let you call your order in ahead of time so it's ready by the time you get there so you can just show up, grab your food and pay. read more

Don't bother unless you want a meal EXACTLY as it is offered. I wanted 2 chicken planks and hush puppies. I asked if they sold hush puppies individually. I was told no. They have a LJS meal with two fish planks, a side and two hush puppies for $5.99. I asked if I could substitute chicken for the fish (priced exactly the same per piece). Again, was told no. Another combo was suggested that came with 2 chicken plans, hush puppies, a side and a drink. Fairly priced at $6.49 but they offer nothing I can drink. Can't comment on the food because I didn't order any! Rude employees and absolutely no attempt at all to satisfy customers. read more

Ordered Fish and Shrimp got home had Fish and Chicken no shrimp and it tasted like soap or bleach. Very nasty my stomach is actually hurting. I was so hungry too what a disappointment. Ended up throwing in the trash. What ever happened to quality control. read more

Today I was there at about 1PM for Long John Silver's Nationwide Promotion Free Fish & Fries. It seem this Place was the first place I found that participates. My wife and I have to drive about 15 miles from Lakewood just to avail of this special promo coz we loved your fish & chips & were disappointed when the nearest LJS told us that they don't have that promo. You need to post on the website which LJS will participate in the promo and coupons. read more

I come to this location acacionally during the day with my husband and 2 young children ( yrs 5 & 2 ). And normally the employees seem short handed and i most of the time feel like my kids seem to b a bit much for them. I tend to feel like we r to much of a handfull for them. But, tonight i came in during the evening and the cashier, jim, was awsome. Nothing but smiles, happy to help. And best of all it was like they enjoyeed my children. Even hooked up my daughter with extra gravy because she loves that stuff. Manager was awsome with nothing but smiles. I enjoyeed it very much and completely made up for any other time i have been in there. Loved it read more

Aye the food may be good but their bathrooms aren't as sanitary. I like their food though.

I couldn't really taste the difference between the fish and the chicken. Oh wait, maybe if they gave me a tartar sauce after they made me wait for a while in front of the restaurant after ordering through the drive thru... read more
