    The Beauty salad
    Larraine J.

    I've driven past this food court before not knowing much. I have been craving a salad and found this spot on yelp and decided to go since it's so close to my office. I will be frequenting here! $13 for a large Beauty salad without onions or raisins. I got my dressing on the side but they will toss it as well. This thing is HUGE! It's long to at least last me through tomorrow! Super hearty and delicious! I barely Ate half! They have wraps, soup and sandwiches as well. Service, quality and price; I have no complaints!

    OMG! 1st time. This was one of the biggest salads we've seen and loved. We ate all of it! I totally forgot to take pictures. We were starving. They have a large variety to choose from. We ordered the #13/Spinach salad with chicken. Not only was the salad great, the baked potato was fantastic! Another item with variety. We had the BBQ chicken. It's huge! Oh BTW, they also have a good clam chowder. We'll definitely take that drive from LB to go again

    The food and service here is phenomenal! Salads are fresh and crisp with so much variety! There's so many salad chocies to choose from, you can either choose from their 20 salad menu or create your own salad. Whatever your choice maybe, there's a variety of dressings and toppings that will definitely compliment your salad. Overall, I was beyond pleased and impressed with the staff's customer service and grace!

    I always came to this spot when I'm looking for a healthy, fresh, and fast salad. Ingredients selection is wide, as well as menu options. Even when the food court is full, this spot is pretty fast, and clean. Highly recommended!

    Look at all the white lettuce

    I had the pleasure of dining at the Dal Rae for the first time and I was blown away in every aspect…read morehow amazing everything was, every detail, every bite in an atmosphere that's very hard to find these days. Let's start with a little history of the Dal Rae, it opened in 1951 and has been sharing its extraordinary menu and dining experience to many including my wife's parents and family who dined there regularly for over 40 years. My wife's parents and her sisters would go there regularly as children. The Dal Rae offers a unique "old school" charm from the classic dining room vibe that you seldom see, don't get me wrong there are still a few of these places around but you know I experienced so much that I just don't see anymore. The dark dining room lit by table candles and dim lighting, featuring a long hardwood bar with the same lighting making amazing cocktails past the stage that hosts live entertainment to the dining rooms with the same lighting with booths with clothed tables, baskets of breads and a relish tray. The entire staff is friendly and honored to have you in their dining room. Let's talk about the food, a good sized menu offering some old school appetizers as well as your others, fine cuts of meats, fresh seafoods and aged beef. My entree came with a house salad that I have to say was the best dinner salad I have ever had, I am not sure if it was the fact that the salad was prepared and tossed with the house made blue cheese dressing with large chunks of blue cheese with simple additions but every bite was incredible. If I wasn't in such a classy establishment I would have kicked the plate . (But I didn't) our entrees came after our salads and some had French Onion Soup. My brother in law/wife and his brother/wife and sister/husband along with my wife filled our table. My brother in law and his siblings also dined at the Dal Rae with their parents when they were young and still come to this day. So there was a lot of great food on our table as well as great family. I ordered the Steak Diane a dish rarely found these days, I was so excited to have this again and just as excited to try it at Dal Rae, as it was prepared table side you could instantly smell the aromas of Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, butter and other ingredients then the brandy with a flash of fire creating the fragrant decadent sauce only to be found in Steak Diane. It was Molto Bene in every bite e tutti delizioso! All our dishes were simply incredible, great flavors and served with such class and old school charm. We also had the pleasure of the owner coming to our table and sharing some history of the restaurant and his family commitments to serving the community, people from Los Alamitos Race Track, the jockeys, the owners, the fans and continuing to do so. We all were so full we passed on the dessert menu but if I could fit it into my leg I would have gone with the Bananas Foster.....so I guess I need to come back for more. And Dal Rae I will be back....thank you for everything and an amazing dining experience. Well done Dal Rae, Well done Bon appetitto

    My cousin talks very highly of this restaurant but it didn't really meet my expectations…read more We had a 5:30 reservation in the covered patio area but since we had an additional person, they moved us into a table in the bar. They started us off with warm bread and butter. Then right before the food actually comes, they give you another basket of bread but this time it's cheesey garlic bread. Every entree comes with veggies (not sure if it's seasonal/rotating but we all got broccoli) and a choice of side. I ordered the 10oz prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes. We also ordered the seabass. Baked potato is served tableside. My prime rib was a little too overcooked. The seabass was pretty good. It was a thick and tender piece. Now why I'm giving it 2 stars.. our server. I caught her rolling her eyes a couple times as she's walking away from our table. I didn't think we were being complicated but apparently she did. It was not giving "steakhouse service" (but what do you expect, it's Pico Rivera). The food was also mediocre at best. Everything was under seasoned. Quite frankly, it reminded us of "cruise food." The ambience is dark and loud. Not sure if the rest of the restaurant was just as dark since they seated us in the bar. The tables are very close together and there's not much walking space. They have several private rooms for parties. The waiting area was pretty packed after we got seated. The crowd is definitely on the older side. Unless you grew up eating here, not worth a try
