If you're not coming to Sausalido Cafe you're missing out on more than just great tasting food! I've been here a few times and the owner, Julius, is always there greeting you when you first walk in, welcoming you with a genuine "hello" and bright smile whether it's your first time or you've been before. I stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch and knew I was going to get the curry puffs. The last time I ordered these I was with a friend and had to share but not this time. I was on a solo lunch and looking forward to the puffs! To say they are "perfect" seems insufficient. They were fried incredibly well, hot, crunchy, tasty, but never greasy. And these little puffs were filled with minced beef, potatoes, and seasoning! For my main dish, I chose the dragon noodles (pad thai) with chicken. All the veggies in the dish were cooked perfectly, nothing too mushy, just the right amount of crunch/bite to the cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. And the chicken was chunky! And while I loved everything about the dish, the sprinkling of the crushed peanuts was *chef's kiss*. There's no skimping on those peanuts here. As I write this I'm excited for the leftover noodles waiting for me. When you walk into Sausalido you really do feel welcomed. The space is unassuming in the best way possible. Posters of the drinks they offer (coffee, smoothies, boba) adorn the walls, along with pictures of the various food items they have. The restaurant is across the street from Alondra Park and there are other businesses in the center. So, if you need to do your laundry do that and grab a meal at Sausalido. Get a massage and then get food at Sausalido. Get your nails done and head next door to Sausalido for a treat. Get here and get here quick! read more

Friendly service, fresh food, and delicious flavors. Sausalido café has it all. It started when I took my mom here. We all loved the food, and I've been coming back ever since. It also has my absolute favorite green curry, a great iced coffee that really highlights the coffee rather than oversweetening it to disguise the the natural flavors, and a Dragon Noodle which at medium spice will really knock your socks off without being painfully spicy. I don't know what kind of chili they use, but it is not like any I've had elsewhere, and it is absolutely delicious. The owner is a delight and the staff are super helpful and friendly. The vibe is a little more casual, certainly not a formal kind of place, and that serves to make you feel like you're seeing an old friend rather than walking in as just another customer. They make us feel welcome whenever we arrive, and I always leave a little happier than when I entered. Love this place. read more

I found this restaurant because I get my nails done in the same plaza (great nail spot FYI lol) but decided to grab some food on my way out. I I'll admit I was a little confused as to what kind of food The images on the windows showed Asain dishes but also acai bowls and I had never seen a hybrid restaurant like this. Well, let me telllll you...I ordered and Asian dish AND an acai bowl and both were SO good! The owner/manager was super personable and friendly! He took my order with a smile and was just so kind for such a short interaction. It was lovely. The restaurant itself is small and cozy. They have lots of food options plus all sorts of hot and cold drinks. You can dine-in or take out. There's free parking in the plaza which is great! It's a bit far for me to personally go back often, but I now stop in there every time I'm in Torrance to get my nails done and very much look forward to my next order! read more

A hidden gem! I love supporting small businesses and especially this one. My son is a regular customer and has brought me here a few times. Julius (the owner) never disappoints. He welcomes everyone with a warm smile and warm hello! Julius treats my son like family every time he goes. Sausalidos Cafe represents exactly the kind of business you wish for your community to have and for your kids to frequent. The menu is pretty diverse. so there is something for everyone. My son always gets the turkey panini, I either go with my healthy choice the Acai bowl or I splurge my calories on the Philly Cheese Steak and Fries. Everything is DELICIOUS , no joke, the food is made fresh with obvious love, which I am a firm believer, always adds to the flavor. Please do youself the favor and support this wonderful neighborhood Restaurant! read more

The noddles are really good. Fist time I tried this restaurant and I like it. I will be back.

Sausalido Cafe - On a rainy day, it doesn't get any better than a hot chocolate here!!! - Thai Near Me - Torrance, California

Came in around 10am. There were 2 other tables before us. We ordered the dragon noodles (basically pad thai) and a breakfast plate with (bacon, eggs, and pancake). We added hash browns for 5.50... tbh think 5.50 is a steep price for the amount. From ordering to getting our food took at least 30 minutes which I didnt understand as there were only 2 other tables (2ppl and 3ppl) The bacon and eggs were your typical bacon eggs. The pancake was actually pretty good. As for the noodles it tasted like pad thai really nothing special. I like my pad thai with the sambal sauce or something with a little vinegary. I asked for it to be slightly spicy... didn't do much to the plate. It just tasted like Tapatio. All in all for the time and money I wouldnt go back. Maybe for the pancakes but a big maybe. read more

My goodness! What a pleasant little place! Service staff is warm and personable and always diligent with their guests and great for a little conversation on the side. And hey, if you're into spice, you're gonna find something for you here.. such a unique and intense blend. Honestly never tasted anything like it anywhere else and I am definitely coming back for it sometime soon! (Order the Dragon Noodles or Spicy Chicken Masala if you wanna know what I'm talking about) read more

After seeing such nice reviews I decided to stop in at this place. I didn't have time to dine in so I ordered my food to go. Brace yourself...the owner has a rooster sound for his doorbell! I was greeted warmly and my order was taken from a broad Pan-Asian fusion menu that has some classic American breakfast favorites, as well. The owner sat and visited with me while my food was being prepared, and it was a pleasant conversation in their homey dining room. The dragon noodles were very good...they had a nice amount of heat on the back side without blowing your palate, but feel free to order them extra spicy if you like it hot. Also had the Spicy Chicken Masala which also had a pleasant kick. Will plan for another visit to sample the breakfast offerings. read more

Sausalido Cafe - To go: Dragon Noodles and Spicy Chicken Masala over rice - Thai Near Me - Torrance, California

Torrance Food Crawl #430 Sausalido Cafe is a small family-owned restaurant with a menu that is primarily Pan-Asian fusion but has worldwide coverage: Asian (noodles and more), American (breakfasts and sandwiches), coffees, ice creams, smoothies, fruit bowls, and more. I've primarily tried the Asian dishes. The Dragon Fried Rice (hint - the word 'dragon' might be a clue that this is spicy) was a very nice basic fried rice dish. You can adjust the spice level to your liking. Everything here is prepared on the spot, so they can easily adjust the spice levels or contents if you have special dietary requirements. The Dragon Noodles (basically Pad Thai) was excellent, slightly sweet, with lots of noodles and vegetables. I ordered this with mild spice. When the owner checked on me, I made a comment that it was mild, but very nice tasting. He provided a sample of their dry spice that I could add to my meal, commenting that the spices came from several different areas, including Asia and Africa. I had trouble placing the spice, but when I heard that part of the blend came from Africa, I understood my confusion. The sandwich and breakfast items have been solid, with traditional American choices. There are numerous fruit and sweeter drinks on the menu, which I haven't tried for personal health reasons. I've usually been here in the afternoons when it was fairly quiet, but the place gets busier on Saturday morning. Service has always been personal, friendly, and helpful. This is the type of restaurant I like, a small family-owned one with a menu that isn't the same as every other restaurant. read more

The dragon noodles were delicious and the service was great! I highly recommend this for a affordable breakfast brunch spot.

I came into the restaurant wanting something different than I had been eating. The same old things weren't working for me anymore. I walked in and saw that the restaurant had a varied menu of both American foods and Asian foods. I bought pad Thai noodles with shrimp and I tried the Dragon fruit bowl. Both were so good that I have been coming by on the average of once a week ever since! Try it, you'll like it! read more

Ordered a Classic American breakfast with pancakes, eggs, bacon and a cup of coffee. It was great, the place has a partial view of the golf course across the street if you sit at the window. And best of all, the family that runs it is phenomenally nice. read more

This is a solid breakfast place for the basics. I grabbed pancakes and a breakfast sandwich and an açai bowl for me. The bowl was good and I liked that they had this option since I can't eat most of the regular breakfast fare due to a food sensitivity. The service was prompt. The place itself is small and no frills. I would grab food there again if I'm in the area. read more

My boyfriend and I came and ordered breakfast takeout and the food did not disappoint! We ordered the French toast combo that came with eggs and bacon, we also paid a little extra to add hash browns to it. The food tasted like it was made fresh and had that home-cooking feel. Our favorite was the strawberry mango smoothie that we ordered! It tasted like real fruits instead of the usual artificial syrups. The staff were super sweet and came out to talk to us while we were waiting for our food. I would definitely come back to try their other smoothies and food on their menu! read more

Omg how could I miss doing a review for this?!! Welp I finally tried this place and I ordered a bacon and egg bagel at 1:30pm and they said it wasn't a problem. I was elated! They were very friendly upon arrival. This place is nice and clean! (Although I ate in my car because I was washing- they even brought it over to me) awesomeness!!! Upon getting the bagel I noticed it was not greasy at all and it even had a special sauce that added value to my bagel. It was scrumptious! I will try more of their items next time. They also offer açaí bowls!!! Don't sleep on this small business. read more

On the weekend morning, my husband suggested we go to a café for breakfast, and we came here. It's a small family-owned Asian fusion café, and I had the breakfast panini with avocado and tomato from the breakfast menu. The panini had a crispy exterior and was filled with plenty of scrambled eggs, and the rose of avocado and tomato was perfect for breakfast. All the breakfast paninis include cheese, scrambled eggs, and a secret sauce. It was so big that I took half of it home. I would love to come back for breakfast again. read more

The place is small, but the food is great and the customer service is even better. My family and I went today for brunch. My daughter had the breakfast bagel, that is perfect size for a kid. My son had some tenders and my husband and I did the avocado toast. Food was right on point. My husband and I had the best lavender oat milk lattes ever at the cafe. Who I assume to be the owner and the cook came out and chatted with us. He was very kind and nice. After we left, my daughter realized she left something behind. We called the restaurant and it wasn't inside, but the owner went out of his way to go check the parking lot in front. He found her things. That was super kind of him. The food was great, so we would have already come back. But the customer service was above and beyond what we expected. Now we will definitely be back . read more

Ordered cheese steak sandwich and a chicken dish for my wife, good food and great service.

1st things 1st...loved the fast and friendly service. Bad service is a major pet peeve for me. Even if the food is just ok, service makes up for it. However, the food was good really good. My Picky wife said, " oh we gotta come here again". The coffee and espresso really hit too. Lastly, it was a great value for the money. Do yourself a favor and give this place a shot.
