I've now tried the Harvest Bowl, the Ahi Poké Bowl, and the watermelon juice -- all really, really good!

He absolutely changed my mind after my first impression, and I wanted to make sure my review reflected that. I'll definitely be back!

The food was fantastic, and the setting is great too -- both indoor and outdoor seating, with a comfy, relaxed vibe that made it easy to settle in and actually enjoy the meal rather than rush through it. The owner was there and couldn't have been more welcoming. She's been at this for two decades and that warmth comes through. She even brought us a little surprise -- some chocolate or a small cake, i dont exactly remember -- but it was a genuinely nice touch that stuck with us. Perfect spot! We will be back.

The ambiance was really wonderful, especially in the outside courtyard area, they have beautiful string lights above with heaters running as well. I'll definitely be coming back here to try some of the other dishes, but I so happy I finally got to try their famous tofu sauce in the pasta I had. The service was a little on the slower side, but we were the only table sitting outside and there a little bit later in the night. Also, The peanut butter chocolate pie did not have much peanut butter, it was mostly just a chocolate pie, still delicious though. So if you're a peanut butter lover, know that it is a very misleading name, haha. The drinkable chocolate dessert is also very bitter and I would not recommend that one.

After we placed our order, the owner seemed frustrated and a bit grouchy. I'm still not entirely sure what went wrong since our credit card went through and we even received a receipt. In the end, he had to cancel the entire order and redo it on the left iPad because, for some reason, the order never showed up on his system. After sorting everything out, we waited another 15 minutes for our food. We ended up taking our order to go since the restaurant is very small, with only one table outside. But tbh, It was absolutely delicious. I think this might be the best Japanese curry we've ever had, even better than the old Curry House days (RIP). You can customize your bowl by choosing the rice size, white or brown rice, and up to three toppings. We added an omelet egg, chicken karaage, and pork cutlet, and everything was fantastic. I ordered the mild curry, which was the perfect spice level for me, while my husband got medium and really enjoyed the extra heat. I like how they give you a big tub of curry sauce no matter which rice bowl size you choose. We'll definitely be back and remember to use the left iPad when ordering.

It has taken me way too long to review this place. I apologize…read more Wow. King Mediterrano. 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.

Additionally, the garlic While the gyro, rice, sauces (red and green), and chicken kabob were good, several other items did not meet expectations. The baba gannouj lacked its signature smoky flavor, the hummus was disappointing, and the pita was cold and thin. Additionally, the garlic sauce was not to our liking, and while the beef skewer had a good texture, it was under-seasoned. We were also told that potatoes were unavailable because the fryer was being cleaned. Regarding the service, we waited 30 minutes for our order. When I checked on the status after 20 minutes, the counter staff informed me it would be brought out when ready. However, 10 minutes later, our number was called and we had to collect the food ourselves for dine-in. There was about 4 people eating there, but I saw many to go orders go while where there(maybe the reason for the slow service). very spacious and the tvs where nice to have with low volume so you could have a conversation without yelling. I have previously visited your Compton location and found the food there to be delicious, so I hope this feedback is helpful for maintaining that same standard at this location.

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.

Very ethnic and colorful.I see people have more pick up and to go orders. I had a big pick up order Sunday. Food wise - everything we ordered was good. Except that ot was missing any sauces. No sauce for the samosa and no sauce for the Chicken Seekh kabob. Otherwise, I think it is ok. The goat Karahi was tender and authentic Pakistani flavors. The beef Nihari was also done well. The chicken Haleem is good and cooked very well - no raw flour taste- it was good. The chicken biryani was also flavorful and rice was done well. The butter chicken and the chicken tikka leg quarters were also tender and done well. Spice level was good. I've requested for some to be mild and some dishes Pakistani level of spice - done well. Garlic naan and the regular naan was good and portion is fair. The mango lassi was a let down. Please fix it. It lacks mango flavor and tasted chalky. I am not the only one here that said it. Pls fix its and the color looks so pale. Customer service - this is why I am only rating it a 4 star. The young lady taking orders and working Sunday - she needs to be more friendly. She seems like she doesn't care and is lacking customer service training. For the owner or chef - please train or re-orient her. She comes off as rude - although I don't think she is. She just comes off as that. She can definitely be trained to handle customers. I do recommend this place especially if you're looking for authentic flavors of Pakistan. I've asked the girl specifically where in Pakistan this cooking from and she's not answering me. She ignored me - maybe she didn't know her roots Go check it out.

My daughter got the cheese pizza and my son got the penne pasta. I kind of wish they had a side of vegetables or fruit, but thankfully, I had just given my kids some fruit before, so avoided the mom guilt lol. The edamame dumplings is an absolute must! It's an umami flavored dish! We also got the eggplant dish, and it was really good! If you've been to elephante in Santa Monica, it kind of reminds me of that, but the eggplant is a little bit more dense, but really great flavors. You may have to order an extra eggplant dip, because the ratio isn't exactly favorable towards the eggplant. Got the kale salad with shrimp. The shrimp was cooked to perfection! Kale was pretty good, but asked for extra cheese. My husband was all about the burger and he claimed it was one of the best burgers he's ever had! He got an IPA beer and I got a watermelon mint Mojito. It was really good, but I think I will try the skinny margarita next time. The price is actually pretty reasonable for the clean /delicious food! We are most definitely coming back!
