I've had Rabano a few times now with every time being takeout and I gotta say, in a time where takeout is more common than ever, dishes from here are definitely the kind that still taste good even after a drive home. My three favorite dishes are the El Koreano, Pork Belly Knockout and Saltado Peruviano. I've always thought the drinks were mediocre and I'd still get them if I'm in the mood, but with my most recent visit I finally tried a drink I really like -- the Pina Colada :) Gotta say though, the cup was all ice. Always feels good eating at a local restaurant that uses local farm fresh ingredients (‿) read more

This is going to be an epic review. First, let me thank Rabano for creating a cool concept. The menu is super California, and for the most part, my experience with the food has been good. I've probably ordered here 50 times because I live really close. The owner has served me a few times--really nice man. And the staff in general is kind. Then why the 3 stars? Well, I'm not sure what's happening with service these days, but in general, it's lacking awareness and attention to detail. First, let me acknowledge the cooks because the amount of food coming out of this place is wild! Having served, bartended, expoed, and pretty much done every single position in high-class to low-class restaurants, I understand how hard it is to maintain consistency. That being said, if I walk into Rabano at 7:30-8 PM, I'm expecting my experience to be subpar. Today, I ordered a vegan burrito with steak instead of the fake meat. 10/10 for speed, 4/10 for quality. The proportions in the burrito were out of whack, dry, and it didn't even fully wrap--it turned into a burrito salad. Maybe the cooks need some of that tip money, because the biggest issue I have with Rabano is the service. I should not have to ask for a napkin. I should not have to get up for anything. But it happens 50% of the time! I understand we live in a different world now, and this new generation that's coming up is completely unaware of the horrors my generation and the generation before us went through in the service industry. I had four-star chefs literally throwing plates at the wall in frustration. Insane standards from GMs all the way down to expos. There was no automatic tipping system. You had to serve your guest, then give them a paper receipt after their experience--not before. Perhaps this automatic tipping is fueling a complacent, droned-out mindset. I try to remind myself to breathe and have compassion for these young folks who are completely oblivious to what service is. Ask yourself, Would I want a napkin? Should I turn on this insane neon light right in front of someone eating at 8:15 PM when the place closes at 8:30? Hook me up with some blue light glasses because that things insane! Should I mop the floor at 8:20, making it very unsafe for customers to walk out? Because of my past in the service industry, I've always been willing to tip and give the love. But everyone at Rabano needs a big wake-up call. You guys close at 8:30. That's early in the service world. Young nice lady trying to take my basket without asking if I'm finished. I wasn't. Trust me I know it's 8:26, cuz I respect this game called service. My foot will be landing on sidewalk 830 sharp. I know the kitchen works hard, but you've gotta finish strong with quality. There is zero excuse not to have utensils or napkins. Everyone should watch The Last Samurai. As ridiculous as the concept of Tom Cruise in that role is, you'll be delighted to know that the word "samurai" means to serve. Have some honor, have some respect, and be thankful for the system in place. Because if I were running Rabano, there would be no automatic tipping. It's not a good system. But, like I said, everyone that works there is really nice. It just breaks my heart how unaware some of you young folks are. Time to class it up a bit, Rabano. I'll gladly raise the score to 4 stars if this is acknowledged. read more

This place has a very healthy and delicious menu. I've been going to this place for over 5+ years and it never disappoints. Service has been good along with a laid back atmosphere. read more

I love this place! It's so easy to miss it on such a busy intersection of Sepulveda and Artesia so keep an eye out! My favorites are... Tabbouleh lettuce wraps - I can't believe the dressing is tofu Edamame won tons - that sauce really makes it! Papas fritas Friends have raved about the Wow me burger and the Showtime burger so those are on my list to try next! It can feel a little cramped dining in so I prefer takeout but the few times I did dine-in, it felt cozy but I didn't linger. This place is definitely worth a stop when you're driving along Sepulveda! read more

Located adjacent to Lazy Acres at Hermosa Beach where I sometimes buy overpriced groceries (much like Whole Foods) but mostly go there to charge my hybrid car where they have a couple of free (!) charging stations, and across the street from my gym Afterburn Fitness, Rabano was always one of those restaurants I was curious about with its "handcrafted food" sign. I had to find out what that meant! So I finally made time to visit Rabano for the first time for a light snack after a workout. I ordered the Gogi steak tacos. As you can see in the photo, the steak generously filled the taco shells and was tender. The cilantro was fresh and added that flavor and twang that compliments the cheese and the already flavorful dressing. I highly recommend this. And it is only $8.50 for 2, relatively a cheap snack in today's inflationary economy. I went back a second time for lunch and ordered the pork belly Bahn Mi sandwich for $13. (I thought WTH, I'm going to Afterburn Fitness after this anyway LOL). But I was surprised that the pork meat was on the lean side ( good! lesser burpees!!). The baguette was good quality crunchy outside and soft inside which makes or breaks a Bahn Mi. It came with a side salad (you could order fries as a side but I was doing my best to keep from doing more burpees!). This was another winner. And so, I went back for a 3rd time, for dinner, just before a 2-hour long Bible study. I needed something heavy. So I ordered the Thai chicken which was a yellow Thai curry with brown rice and veggies. And heavy it was! The dish was generous with the mildly spicy curry sauce (I wonder if I could have it spicier) which I felt was too much for the amount of rice in the dish. But the sauce was extremely good that I was dipping even the veggies in it. And I ended up even eating it up like soup! The chicken breast was cooked so well that it wasn't dry. Dipped those cluckers in the sauce too of course and I was getting full before I could even finish the whole dish. Dinner for $12 with good flavors makes this dish a winner too. Now one thing, if management would consider my humble observation, is that this restaurant is extremely popular for online orders. There is a rack right next to the cashier counter right across the dining area. This is quite a distraction as so many people go inside the pickup their online orders and this makes an otherwise nice interior quite messy looking. I understand there is limited space so perhaps an extension for online orders separated from indoor dining? One last thing, of the 3 times I ate there, twice the table I ate at were sticky, they weren't really cleaned very well. I'll give it a pass, but I hope the owner reads this and addresses it. Overall though, this place is a must visit! I still don't know what "hand crafted food" means but the food is VERY GOOD and is sure to please the palate I highly recommend Rabanos "hand crafted food" !!! read more

Yummy food. Quick service I tend to call I had Aunt take the food to go. Chinese chicken salad and Korean bowl are my favorites and they always taste good. read more

Love this new find! Fast service. One time I called in 5 minutes before closing and they still put in a big to-go order for me. So nice! Very casual interior. Delicious food! We've eaten in and ordered out a few times now and we've always been super happy. Lots of variety on the menu, hearty servings, yummy food! read more

Update: editing review because it looks like they are updated to seed oil free- thank you! I can't wait to return I love the menu and have eaten here a few times- but I always feel not great afterward. I believe they cook in vegetable/seed oil- even their hummus is made with canola oil and it must be more than other places. My friend said she encountered the same issues unfortunately! I would love if they cooked in healthier oils like avocado or olive oil and would eat here so regularly if they did read more

This has been one of my favorite local, quick and casual takeout spots. High quality ingredients, great taste, and reasonably priced. My favorite dishes are the edamame wontons, wow me burger, Thai curry, and tofubella sandwich. I've tried nearly everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. read more

Seriously one of my favorite place. The food is always fresh, the service is always top notch!'

Pretty great food! However the wontons were very spicy so I recommend getting the sauce on the side for most things if you're getting to go because it gets soggy fast read more

Excellent place, with healthy food and reasonable prices. Try out the Wonder Bowls, they are delicious.

I've been coming here for the past couple of years for take out, and I'm now getting around to writing a review. Everything I've had, I really enjoyed. My go to items are the Thai Chicken, Kabobs Mediterraneo and the La Bamba. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistent. I always call ahead for take out. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. Fresh and well cooked veggies, tasty and juicy meats, nice portion sizes. I always order the curry chicken with a side of steak and pork belly. The ancient grains are heavenly. Highly recommend! read more

Great place to grab a bite to eat. Food was tasty and fresh, recommend the pineapple iced tea and any of their bowls. Very filling and reasonably priced. Will be back again if in the area. read more

I took my kids there. Two of us got pork belly bowls and another got Korean beef bowl. My first impression of the cafe is that the staff at the front didn't want to be there. The young Asian lady in pretty makeup who took our order was pretty cold and seemed to just wanna go home. Maybe that's their Sunday vibe? One of the pork belly rice had really little, like 4 small pieces burnt slices. The korean beef tasted good. But again, 90% of each bowl was RICE. read more

We have loved Rabano for a few years now. My sister and I usually get the Rabano fries or their Green Earth Burger. I once tried their vegan burrito and loved it. They recently changed their menu look on the wall and the vegan burrito is not listed on there. On 8/16/25, I went with my sister and she decided to get a vegan burrito as well. Since the vegan burrito is not on the menu, it is not noted that the chipotle sauce in it contains cashews and my sister has a nut allergy. We took the food to go and after one bite my sister's throat started closing up. We instantly called the restaurant to confirm if any of the ingredients contained peanuts, that's when the staff disclosed (after putting the call on hold) that the chipotle sauce contains cashews. This is something that should be mentioned on their menu as it can severely affect someone with a nut allergy. I had to rush my sister to the nearest urgent care. Rabano, please consider adding an allergen notice to the menu. read more

Food is delicious, but I was disappointed to learn that they use seed oils in their cooking. I'm hoping that more restaurants start to give up seed oils, especially those restaurants committed to "healthy options". read more

All the food was GREAT! The service was excellent. The food was tasty and not a long wait.

Delicious REAL food--they have a great selection with something for just about everyone, whether you're vegetarian, vegan or omnivorous... Such a fresh & seamless fusion of multinational cuisine that truly makes feeling good about the food you choose to fuel your body with effortless. Highly recommended the turkey burger & teriyaki chicken bowl, both are excellent! This spot has quickly become a favorite for myself & my family. Many thanks to everyone at Rabano! read more

It was great being back in one of our ol Hermosa Beach hangs, Rabano. The menu doesn't miss and in classic Rabano style, there's always a LOT of staff behind the counter pumping out your food & drink FAST. Service is a 10 and while the place is small, most people are there for pick-up so there's usually not a problem finding a table. read more

Rabano is good fusion food, just a little overpriced! Located on a very busy corner of PCH/Artesia Blvd. in a small plaza with limited parking. You can park the Lazy Acres parking lot too. When you walk inside you'll see the big menu of food on the wall with self service ordering iPads (takes card only). The self ordering system is pretty simple to use but can be a little confusing at first. Grab a number and they will bring your food out. If you're paying with cash you can order directly at the counter. FOOD: I normally order the Peruvian Saltado SUPER BOWL - $11 which comes with rice, salad or greens, sautéed onion, tomatoes, potato fries, salsa verde. Steak is additional $2. They have a good variety of drinks that you can order with boba too. SEATING: the area inside can sometimes be a challenge since there a limited amount of tables. They have a lot of other items on the menu that sound really good. I do plan on coming back to try them! read more

Located off PCH and Artesia in Hermosa Beach. In front there is a small parking lot shared with the other businesses next to this place. There is parking behind farther back in the lot majority of the spots are marked for the store there so be aware of the marked parking spaces. The place is small with a few tables. The staff is friendly and helpful. I was originally gonna get a burger but I saw the sign for shrimp street tacos so yes of course went with that lol fries and the simple salad. I also got the kids teriyaki chicken bowl for mom. Overall a nice spot the food was good. I would also like to shoutout and thanks Brenda L. for thinking of me and emailing me a gift card for here that was so thoughtful of her. read more

This place was okay. The burgers were VERY greasy, and just decent. Fries were cold, and only had ketchup, no mustard. The service was not very good. They were many takeouts, and they were super distracting. The music was terrible and super loud. The burgers are quite expensive for a decent burger. Would not recommend. read more

Fabulous burger! Went on a chilly night and me and hubby were starving and tired. He got the burger which was top quality juicy and simple ! A classic and totally deeeelish. Unexpectedly yummy read more

I can't stop coming here. Everything I've tried so far has been great. I think this might be the best turkey burger I've had. Also the curry! I'm definitely coming back to try a salad. read more

Quick recap: - Food: Good - Portion size: Average/Good - Service: At the counter; Nice staff - Environment: Mordern Fast Food - $: Medium - Perks: Patio + Variety of influences in the menu More details: First, let me start by saying that you can go with people that love drastically different types of food. Indeed, this restaurants serves dishes varying from ceviches, to burgers, to currys, to salads, etc. We went there for dinner and had the Chicken Thai Bowl ($10) and the Showtime Burger ($12). I was surprised by the bowl as I did not expect it to be bathing in a curry sauce, but it was really good. The burger comes with either salad or fries. It was also good. For beverages, we had Bobbas ($5). Not sure if they have desserts. The staff was nice. Overall? Food is good. Portions are average. Staff is nice. Environment is a mordern fast food. Prices are good, in my opinion (judging by the quality of the food in the plate). Loved the variety (choices). Will be back to try other types of food. read more

My friend picked up food the other night and it was excellent! The 4 of us shared 4 bowls and a salad. Lots of leftovers because the portions are very generous! The biggest pro to the food was how distinct each flavor profile was for each item. We had the Thai curry bowl, Korean beef bowl, a Peruvian bowl and a Mexican bowl. Each bowl had a specific flavor and deliciousness. The meats were tender, lots of good, crunchy vegetables over brown rice with sauces that were very special and unique. We also had the Chinese chicken salad! That was also perfect. It's a fast value type of eating experience. You order at a counter and then the food is brought to you. I like the bring home option especially after a busy day. Healthy, delicious food! read more

We ordered Rabano for delivery during a long workday and it offered an impressive array of options and variety that suited everyone in our group of 9. Not only were there plentiful options, the food tasted great and even reasonably healthy - exactly what one needs during a working lunch. I ordered the Saltado Peruano and it was excellent. I would've wanted a second one if I could order again! read more

Lots of different options that were all delicious. You order at the counter and can sit there if you want. I loved their fries and poke bowl. read more

Great food. The soups are great, and very healthy ingredients. Kind of like a fast food healthy spot.

We came in near closing time, so we were asked to take our meal togo. At this place, you make your order at the monitors to the right of the entrance, and then you just wait patiently until your meal is ready We ordered: Lechon Cubano (substituted w/ chicken) Peruvian Saltado Both dishes were great! While the food here is delicious, and they do an excellent job creating fusion dishes, I think the best quality of this business is how easy it is to grab a bite There aren't many places that offer such a diverse and delicious menu while being able to bring your food out in a matter of 10 minutes I could really see this as a great place for lunch read more

What a nice gem. Food is delicious, ingredients is fresh, menu selections is unique but not trying too hard, with lots of options for different dietary needs. Pretty impress with how this little restaurant was able to accomplish all that without breaking the bank. Dishes all range between $9-$15. Not bad considering is grass feed, free range etc. We ordered the showtime burger that had a nice balance of savory and a little sweet. The curry shrimp with veggies and grains bowl had a creamy coconut flavor and a little spicy kick. I also enjoyed the coconut white boba tea that was not sweetened but very refreshing. Overall I would highly recommend this location and look forward to bringing my others friends to try it out. read more

Great food and fast service. The burgers are my favorite dish at this restaurant , so delicious!

The food is good! We got a burger and it was absolutely delicious. The meat is juicy and flavorful. Perfectly cooked. We opted to get the salad as a side and the Rabano fries. The fries were ok although the toppings are unique. I love the iPad ordering system where you get to customize your order. You swipe your card, take a number and your food will be brought to you at your table. The one item I do not recommend is the boba milk tea. We got the regular boba milk tea and it didn't taste right. I'm guessing it's because of the type of sugar they use. The boba was also hard and not fresh. We switched to the Thai tea ... it was better but not great. I would save the $5. read more

Used to be so much better, but flavor and quality has declined in the last year or so. I ordered the kabob bowl and the chicken was overly coated with cumin. Not even grilled, more like oven baked? You cannot call it kabob just because it's on a skewer. And the garlic toum sauce wasn't garlic toum sauce - it was pure mayonnaise with the faintest essence of garlic. Please do not sell international dishes if there's no effort to get it right. Being of Mediterranean descent, I felt disappointed, but I guess it's my fault for ordering it. The vegetables, though, are always great - so two stars for that! read more

This is a delicious tiny spot whose outside doesn't indicate how flavorful and healthy the offerings are inside! I love how many flavorful cultures are represented from my spicy Thai chicken bowl to the Edamame wontons to the Cuban, Korean, Peruvian and American flavors I look forward to trying next time. I love that you can get your bowl served on rice, ancient grains or vegetables. Many have a choice of meat. My spicy chicken had a delicious lake of curry thick enough to be soaked up by my chicken, ancient grains and veggies without being a pool at the bottom. The edamame wontons are an amazing combination of a soft inside filled with edamame and mushroom surrounded by a crispy wonton drizzled in savory truffle oil and a sriracha agave sauce that brings heat and sweet. These are addictive! They also had seasonal offerings like fish tacos or a shrimp version of my Thai dish. Take my word and don't drive by again without stopping in! You have to see their wall of fresh herbs in person! #makesmewander read more

Tasty! I got el Koreano bowl. The bowl comes with steak, baby bok Chou, cucumber, kimchi, gochujang sauce and umani sauce. The steak was so tender, just how I like it. The combination of the flavors in the bowl is just amazing. Also I got the Cogi steak tacos which are on point. This place is definitely a "I have to go back to try more" read more
