    Sebastians Hummus
    Sunday B.

    Ended up here since they had a few vegan options. Unfortunately it's on a street with a lot of vacant storefronts. I'm always questioning places when I'mthe only one there..but eventually They had a steady stream of people...so that's always good to see on a Thursday night. The server was really prompt and helped me decide on the lemon chicken. Great choice! Was served with a cover so it was piping hot. Really nice and tangy with a side of veggies and potatoes. The hummus had a beautiful presentation. 3 kinds on a plate with pita/cucumber/onions. The potatoes had a strong rosemary and garlic herb topping and a dipping sauce that was like a spicy mayo. Parking was easy on the street...free after 6 and verrry reasonable per hour... I can't totally remember but it was about $1.75 an hour.. sooooo cheap!!!

    First time here. It's ok, good service though. We didn't have a reservation. Sat us right away table was wobbly but manageable.

    We have been coming to Sebastian's for a few years now and the food is always good. Everything was tasty about dinner tonight expect for when we got the bill. First off the prices were higher than what the menu said. Lambs chops said $29 on menu but on the bill we paid $34. The chicken and beef combo was a dollar more. It' comes down to the principle of the matter and getting the price on the menu not an inflated price. Also as I was trying to pay I was being watched over and over and then a $15 dollar credit came up . The waitress ran over and cancelled it right away said it was an error, made it hard to believe. For those reasons had to knock off a couple stars my review and so they are aware of this.

    I was looking for clean food to eat on a Sunday and drove toward San Pedro out of curiosity. Most stores were closed, but I saw this Mediterranean place with its doors wide open. Just looking at their menu made me drool over the meat and traditional presentation. I finished my meal happy and completely satisfied, like a kid! Plus, the Turkish coffee and tiramisu were a perfect match. The service was great--I forgot the server's name, but I loved that she encouraged me to take photos before I dug in. I'm definitely going back. Overall, a 5-star experience for me.

    Stopped in for lunch today. The Baba Ganush was a terrific appetizer choice and quite plentiful. Mani was our gracious server. We ordered entrees with my wife ordering the ground beef kabob plate and I had the gyro plate. The presentation of each dish was very nice. The ground beef kabob was quite different that the beef koobideh my wife was used to as this is more of a Mediterranean recipe than middle eastern. The gyro meat was not prepared the way I am used to as the texture seemed a bit overdone. As a chef back in the day I am a foodie with a keen eye for detail. The rice was very good as were the potatoes. The pita bread was fresh ans plentiful. I would try them again as the menu is extensive and worth another go. Recommended

    The food is really good! Amazing Mediterranean cuisine! We loved everything, from the appetizer to the main menu. Shish kabob melts in your mouth, chicken kabob is really tender and juicy, luleh is a favorite as well. The service is awesome! She's very friendly and attentive and made us feel comfortable. Great customer service, it's beyond we expected! We made a blind decision at first to dine in but WOW it's the BEST! Dine in by the beach in San Pedro, ambience is really good and very welcoming. It's definitely a hidden gem! Would recommend this 120% Will dine again!!! We're very happy with a full tummy! 5 stars

    Visited on 6/5 for a work lunch and the food + service was amazing. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and aesthetically pleasing. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. Definitely recommend to check out!

    Side veggies

    Meh.....unfortunately my experience of Sebastian's is hit or miss. Today i spent $42 on a chicken kebab plate ($22), hummus ($12), and a side of vegetables ($5). I called in the order and should have asked more questions because the hummus was not a side but appeared to be an appetizer. The veggies were only a few grilled vegetables when he said it was a "2 skewers" of vegetables. The plain hummus was seriously watered down (check the pic). The side of veggies did not appear to be 2 skewers. And the $22 plate of chicken skewers was not tasty or worth the value. I gave 3 stars because I have had good experiences here before.

    Hummus and yogurt
    Sepideh S.

    Found this place via yelp and got there around 440 on a weekday and the place was pretty empty. We ordered the Koobideh & shish kabob combo and not only both meats were super delicious but everything exceeded expectations. From the shallot in the yoghurt and the rice we figured the owner(s) should be Iranian like us. I think this place im underrated and we would def go back. A small suggestion would be possibly asking guests how they would like the kabab cooked. I am a rare meat eater but since the shish kabab is very well marinated (i think it has a yogurt base or sth similar) a little more time on the grill would've done magic. Saying this because my friend who accompanied me doesn't like med/rare meat and she was telling me, wish i told the server for extra cooked. Overall great experience.

    Sebastian's Mediterranean Cuisine has quickly become one of our favorite spots in San Pedro. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The staff made us feel right at home. For lunch, we ordered the sampler platter, and it was absolutely incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor and seemed to melt in your mouth. The variety of dishes gave us the chance to experience so many different tastes, and each one was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. The papas bravas, wings, and appetizers were all outstanding, and the warm pita paired beautifully with everything. The lentil soup deserves a special mention--it was rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. It tasted homemade and was the perfect start to our meal.

    Definitely coming back !!

    Service was outstanding especially the lady!! Would recommend any day. Smoothing music!

    Great experience and delicious food. The ambiance was quaint and I was seated in a quiet corner by the window. The portions were generous while the presentation and service were outstanding.

    Does this restaurant source any of its ingredients or have any ties to israel?

    This restaurant has great food and great service. It's a real shame that people have to turn a restaurant review into a political statement.

    Dear Owner, Your…read moreresponse to my review says considerably more about your business than my review ever could. After 19 years, apparently you've decided that the solution to customers not wanting onions is to remove them from everyone's food, leave them listed on the menu, and then insult the first customer who notices. That's certainly one way to run a restaurant. And your comment that I "lowered myself as a Middle Eastern man" because I complained about onions is honestly the most absurd part of your response. I didn't lower myself. I simply expected the food I ordered to contain the ingredients your own menu says it contains. You say that everyone has asked you to remove onions for 19 years. Fine. Then update your menu. This isn't complicated. If onions have supposedly been gone for years, why are they still being advertised as an ingredient? Customers aren't mind readers. And let's address your claim that the chicken was "very moist and delicious." How exactly would you know? You weren't there when I ordered it. You weren't there when I opened the sandwich. You weren't there when I ate it. You weren't even the person working that day. Yet somehow you have enough confidence to tell me what my own food tasted like. That is an impressive level of certainty for someone who wasn't even present. What I actually experienced was dry chicken, lettuce, no onions, a menu that apparently doesn't reflect what your restaurant serves, and an employee who argued with me rather than simply acknowledging the discrepancy. Then, instead of apologizing or explaining why your menu is inaccurate, you came into the comments and attacked the customer. That tells me everything I need to know. And as for the "Middle Eastern" aspect of your response, I find it especially disappointing. Onions aren't some obscure garnish that I'm demanding out of nowhere. They are a foundational ingredient in Middle Eastern cooking. If you've spent 19 years serving Lebanese or Middle Eastern food, you should know that. If your restaurant has evolved into a watered-down, Americanized version of Lebanese food to accommodate customers who don't like traditional ingredients, that's your choice. But own it. Don't pretend the menu says one thing while serving another, and don't insult someone for noticing. You could have simply said, "We no longer include onions, and we apologize that our menu hasn't been updated." Instead, you chose to attack my character, question my identity, and insist that food you didn't taste was delicious. That was a spectacularly poor business decision. So yes, I stand by my review. The missing onion wasn't the real problem. The problem was the dry food, the inaccurate menu, the poor customer service, and an owner who apparently thinks insulting customers is an acceptable substitute for accountability. After reading your response, I'm even more confident that I won't be returning. Nineteen years in business should have taught you how to handle a dissatisfied customer. Apparently, it didn't

I called in the order. The staff was friendly on the phone and helpful in choosing my meal while I sat in 405/110 traffic. I ordered the chicken kebab plate: (1) chicken skewer, rice, grilled tomato/jalapeño, pita, hummus and tzatziki. I was skeptical at the price of $25, but thought this has got to be good with all these great reviews. I was told 15 minutes. I walked in the restaurant after 22 minutes and she asked for another 5 minutes, so I ordered a beer and sat at the bar. There were 2 sorry tables, 6 people dining total. It's a beautiful delicately decorated restaurant, white and gold accents. They have beer and wine only. From the looks of it, they have some nice wines and sparkling wine only by the bottle. I did not fully understand the menu, it seemed like it was confused about the genre of cuisine and lacked an identity in my opinion. It took her a couple minutes to get the beer and the food came out very shortly after. When I removed the contents of the bag at home, I was immediately disappointed. The portions are quite small. Any place I've ever ordered a kebab plate, there's been plenty of food for two meals, because I eat small portions. That was not the case for this restaurant and at such a high cost. And on top of that, the food was lukewarm, and I only drove to my destination less than five minutes away nor did I stay to finish my beer. I called to ask about the pita cause I couldn't find it in the bag. She said it was below the rice, and I asked oh that's an interesting way to serve it...Is there a reason for that and she said it soaks up the grease of the chicken, and it's much more flavorful to dip in the hummus and tzatziki. The hummus and Taziki are in a 1 ounce plastic ramekin. The tzatziki was good, but the hummus had no flavor and with oily. The pita is below the rice making it appear that there is more food than actually exists in the smallest to go container. The pita was in fact saturated with grease, and had that rancid turned grease taste. I also realized the meat is not chicken breast but chicken thigh, and although it was tender, it lacked flavor. The rice, lacked flavor, the tomato and jalapeño were not seasoned or ripe, and the hummus also flavorless and greasy. After spending $45 on a chicken kebab plate with a beer, small portions and such bland flavors, this is not a place I'll return too. They seem to be very well liked and I'm happy for them.

I've never eaten in, but I've picked up food from here twice and have enjoyed their food at my sister's house at least one other time. The first thing I don't understand is how this place is in Torrance rather than Redondo Beach. I don't mean that I don't understand why they chose Torrance over Redondo Beach; I mean that I just don't understand the two cities' boundaries very well, because this feels like straight-up North Redondo to me. The second thing I don't understand is how this place hasn't expanded or multiplied or otherwise won the hearts and minds and stomachs of South Bayers near and far. But maybe it already has. The third thing I don't understand is why I don't come here more often. It's not that far from my sister's house, and I was dog-sitting there earlier this year. . . . I'm fresh out of things I don't understand. What I do understand is that the owners of this place (an Armenian brother and sister?) are amazing. The food is so good and fresh and flavorful. The menu is kind of all over the place, which in most cases is a red flag, but in the case of more than one restaurant owned and operated by Armenians (I'm including my cousin's restaurant before he sold it and retired), the more different items on the menu, the better. Or at least it's not a red flag. I promise. The combo deal is legit, but even without that deal, the prices are good, especially when you consider the food quality. Writing his review now makes me miss King Mediterrano even though I don't normally miss it or think about it. Those days are over. Next time I have calories to collect in the South Bay, I'm headed straight for Redondo Beach Boulevard.
