There are two locations in Gardena, and this one has better parking and a more spacious interior. The atmosphere is lively and it's almost always busy. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They greet you when you arrive and also say goodbye when you leave, which I really appreciate. They have a separate kids menu with plenty of options. The overall menu is diverse as well. It's not just breakfast, but also tacos, pancakes, sandwiches, and salads. My go-to dish is the Original Loaded Hash Browns. It's really delicious and the portion size is just right. I also tried the Cobb salad with added chicken. It was fresh, but the dressing was a bit heavy and slightly salty. Unfortunately, I found a small piece of plastic in it, but when I mentioned it, they handled it well and removed it from the bill. The music is good, but the speakers don't seem to be in great condition, so the sound quality could be better. read more

I stopped by The Pan to have lunch with a friend of mine. I've visited the pan before but it was my first time at this particular location. We arrived and unfortunately it was a 45min wait for a table, but we were set on eating there so we waited. The service was friendly. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in on us regularly. I ordered the shrimp and grits with a scrambled egg. The egg was nice and fluffy - perfectly cooked. Really loved the flavor from the shrimp and the sausage. The bell peppers added a nice touch and it had a noticeable Cajun seasoning. Not the best shrimp and grits I ever had but definitely far from the worst. I would definitely order it again. For desert we ordered the lemon drop pancakes. Definitely a unique flavor that I've never had before. Per the name, it was definitely on the sweet side. read more

My Sister and I had an Amazing Breakfast there, one Sunday after church. The food, our server and the conversation were great! I also got to use my Birthday rewards for $5 off my bill. It actually was my fourth time there and only my second time dining in. read more

We've been coming to The Pan for many years. I am never disappointed by the food or the service they are top-notch. It is always busy comes earlier than later. Otherwise the wait will be a little bit of a 30 minute wait. The ambience is festive always having music piped in a mixture old and new There is also a mimosa tower as well as specialty drinks the Gardena location on Artesia. I consider it to be the best. read more

It was really good! We had the lemon dream pancakes and the pineapple upside down joints and both very good. So much did not need any syrup. The service was good, we were checked in often, which was nice. The place is a little small but the wait was less the. The :30mins they said. Definitely will be back to try more items. read more

I was able to catch this place when it was not too busy, thankfully! By the time I left, it was almost full. I started off with a Mangonada which had plenty of chamoy and tajin. It had a decent amount of sweetness. I think the tajin balances out the flavor. Then, the clam chowder. I was sad to know that they no longer serve it in a bread bowl, but nonetheless, this was very good. It had a ton of clams, which I love!!! In most places, you're lucky to get 2 tiny clams in your bowl. Their clam chowder was delicious! On to the main course. I ordered the fish n chips. We had an option to substitute the fries and I chose the yuca fries. I like them, but I think regular fries is a better match for the fish. I also ordered the Mediterranean Omelet with egg whites. It comes with toast or an upgrade. GET THE UPGRADE!!! Their pancakes are so fluffy and delicious, you'll be disappointed if you went with toast instead of a pancake. Then finally, closed out my meal with a latte to-go. Latte is gooood! If you have the space, or just want something warm, I recommend the latte. In addition, our waitress, Clarissa was such a sweetheart and let us take our time to review the menu and ask questions. If you can, see if you can get a seat in her section. The restaurant is clean and the decor is so cute. read more

First pack your patience. Went on the weekend about 11:30am (this location open late) and party of 2 was 50-60 minute wait. Lobby is tiny and no place to wait but to stand outside or sit in car. Based on that, I still would give it 5 stars. Food was amazing and portions a good size. Had the traditional pan scramble and upgraded to lemon curd pancake (Yes do the upgrade). Every table had some sort of pancake so I say yes every time. Also, chicken and waffles. Chicken breast was boneless and had great seasoning and moist. Waffle came with blackberry butter and syrup/jam. So delicious. Looked at other tables orders and first time I'd say, everything looked delicious. Lastly, food came out pretty quick and service was amazing. *Didn't get photos because was starving. read more

Solid brunch place in Gardena! I was recommended to go to this location because of the big parking lot and it was a very nice perk! I will say I came at 10 am on a Saturday and there was a bit of a wait. The food itself is good in the way that comfort food is good. No frills. Not that aesthetic. Does it have the best of anything I've ever had? Not at all. But it really hits the spot when you want a classic American breakfast and the ambience and good service is what makes it so great. We both got the Lumberjack ($20) but I upgraded my pancakes to a specialty pancake for an extra $2. The Lumberjack is a solid breakfast plate with house potatoes, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of sausage and your choice of 2 eggs with 2 pieces of pancake included. If you want all sausage/all bacon they can accommodate that as well with no extra charge. The house potatoes were a good texture even if it doesn't look like it. Not the biggest crunch but still had a crunch. Not mushy at all. I did enjoy the bell peppers mixed in! The bacon/sausage is nothing to write home about. Salty, greasy just like you would expect. The pancakes were soft and fluffy. I did enjoy the extra nuts and bananas in mine but the regular ones were good too! Syrup is in a bottle on the condiments basket. The syrup itself is very mid, very whatever, but I do believe they have maple syrup on the menu for an extra charge. Our server Rudy was incredible. He's super friendly and kept checking up on us, asking if we wanted refills of coffee. He would bring us extra napkins and coffee creamer too. He also took our photos for us! Much appreciated!! Sometimes you go to places and it feels like you're a nuisance or that they can't wait to turnover your table, but this place is super friendly and welcoming. We were there for a little over an hour and it made for a great catch up experience. Other tables were chatting as well. None of that fast food, get in, get out culture here. I can see why it's such a popular brunch place! read more

I've been here so many times and I still haven't gotten a chance to try everything but the food is consistently great and service matches. The only problem is because it's a smaller restaurant in a big plaza, it can get pretty crowded and wait times for breakfast can get pretty high. Here's a breakdown of everything I've had so far: Original loaded hash browns 8.5/10 Pan french toast 8/10 The southern 8.7/10 Pastrami and egg sandwich 9.2/10 Breakfast burrito 8.8/10 Pastrami breakfast burger 9/10 Kielbasa scramble 9/10 Chorizo scramble 8/10 Cinnamon roll pancakes 8.3/10 Chocolate peanut butter pancakes 9/10 Tiramisu pancakes 9/10 read more

Ambiance: it's one of the most popular breakfast and lunch chains in South Bay Area, there's usually a waiting line outside and packed inside Service: very friendly and super patient with questions, provided useful suggestions, and refilled water adequately Food & Drink: numerous items for breakfast and lunch items, and they also serve dinner at this location Short Rib Benedict - **** two corn cakes topped with short rib braised barbacoa over mexican street creamed corn, poached eggs, and poblano cream sauce, tasty beef and unique flavors, recommend The Meat Lover Omelet - ***** bacon, sausage, kielbasa, ham, garlic, jack and cheddar cheeses tucked inside three eggs, served with house potatoes, simple ingredients and rich in flavors, highly recommend Tiramisu Pancake - *** coffee flavored pancakes, topped with a sweet vanilla mascarpone, chocolate shaving, cocoa powder, sweet espresso syrup, and whipped cream, tasted unlike tiramisu, still a good chocolate pancake Drip Coffee - **** freshly brewed and bold taste, recommend Price: generous portions and affordable prices, expect $30 per person for a very fulfilling meal read more

*late post* came to this place for breakfast . Highly recommended by family and friends. And it was a disappointment! I'm not sure it if may have been what i ordered but when i spoke with cashier . She stated it's one of their highly love foods. But she did mention that it may have been just the wrong day. I'm not sure but it was not good. That sauce over the chicken was NOT IT! But the service was great! I did mention it also to my waitress and she did say, i should have said, something she could have did something. ‍‍ read more

I had a disappointing experience at The Pan Artesia. I was told my order would be ready in 30 minutes, but when I returned after 45 minutes, it still wasn't ready. There was also no sense of urgency or proper follow-up when I asked about my order. What stood out the most was the lack of customer service. When I questioned the delay, I was simply asked if I wanted a refund -- without any apology or attempt to resolve the issue. I understand delays can happen, especially during busy hours, but communication and attitude make a big difference. Unfortunately, that was missing here. read more

The Pan - no apology and telling me straight up refund. So arrogant bec they knew that they have a lot of customers - Pizza Near Me - Gardena, California

I went to The Pan for Sunday brunch and ordered the pastrami egg sandwich--it was perfect. So tasty and cooked just right. The place itself has a lot of charm and a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes brunch feel special. It was pretty busy when we arrived, with about a 20-minute wait, which is understandable for a popular Sunday brunch spot. Parking was limited, so plan accordingly. Overall, definitely worth the wait for great food and a lovely atmosphere. read more

How on earth do you charge over $14 for 5 tiny mozzarella sticks? At first when I was handed the bag to go, I thought it was a joke. I use to love the Pan as I always thought they were fair but this is highway robbery. Almost $3 per tiny stick should not cost more than what to go sushi costs. This really blows my mind and I hope this was just a mistake. I can no longer eat here because of this overpricing on this item. The service was fine and the ambiance was clean too but the pricing here is just ridiculous for this item. read more

BEST Sunday Brunch in the South Bay, hands down! I went to The Pan in Gardena with two friends for Sunday brunch, and WOW... it was honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. We shared three entrées so we could try a little bit of everything, and every single dish was mind-blowingly delicious. 1. Loaded Hashbrowns These were perfection - crispy, flavorful, and just insanely good. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and upgrading the toast to a guava pancake was the best decision ever. That guava pancake alone is worth the trip! 2. Buttermilk Fried Chicken Holy moly... this dish tasted like it came straight out of the South. The chicken was juicy, the seasoning and sauce were incredibly flavorful, and it was so hearty and comforting. We swapped the toast for a pumpkin pancake, which ended up being one of the BEST pancakes I've ever had in my entire life. Truly unforgettable. 3. Short Rib Benedict This was next-level delicious - tender short rib on top of savory corn cakes, perfectly rich and hearty. We paired it with a tiramisu pancake, and let me tell you... out of this world. Every single dish was perfect for sharing, and the flavors were unique, bold, and so comforting. The Pan really knows how to deliver a brunch that feels like a warm hug. And I have to shout out the amazing staff: Daniel was so kind and friendly, and Rudy was awesome and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for the yummiest Sunday breakfast/brunch spot in the South Bay, The Pan is THE place to be. Can't wait to go back! read more

Always delicious and good portions. Service was on point. Nice small place. Don't let waiting line discourage you, it moves fast.

Our breakfast today was a bummer... I ordered the southern and it was just so greasy... The potatoes had a pool of grease underneath them which was really unappetizing. My over easy eggs were nice but not very hot. Most disappointing was my biscuit and gravy. I was really looking forward to it and I never had it before there, but the reviews looked good and I just thought it was awful. It tasted like flour. Super bummed... read more

Aww man the pan the pan...the pan is our favorite breakfast spot for breakfast. Super close to our house, convenient parking. We waited just over an hour to get seated last Sunday, that should tell yall something.. It all starts from the host, I don't know her name but honestly she's great. She called me and asked if it was ohkay for us to get a table of 4 for our party of 5(cuz we always ask for a booth even if the wait is longer) I said yeah. As always, same guy is our server. Don't know his name but he's hella cool and friendly. Super chill. He said he was leaving or something like that so some other girl took over, SHE IS NOT GOOD DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO COMPARE TO HOMEBOY'S SERVICE. Why do I say this? Her vibe is different, her energy is different, from the rest of the staff. It's a family restaurant, I think you need to show that energy, that enthusiasm. Anyways. I'll make sure to get all their names next time. Food was excellent, as always we got steak n eggs. For some reason the steak was super good, xtra tender and tasty this time. Loved the potatoes and hashbrown. Pancakes as always were fire. It's always a pleasure here at The Pan. read more

I recently ordered the pan catering for a community event. I ordered 4 sets of sandwiches(tuna, ham, and turkey) and platters of muffins and pastries.

Upon pick up, the staff was super nice and help me put all of my items in the car. Everyone love the food and pastries. I will definitely be ordering again. read more

did not have a great experience at this location, 1+ hour wait when there are empty tables is crazy? host explained that people weren't showing up to reservations, plenty of people waiting outside and the restaurant looks half empty. we were a party of 6, started with drinks, took 15-20 minutes for the bar to push our cocktails out, but 3 Shirley temples came out in under 5 minutes. we ordered 3 steak and eggs, 1 DEEP DISH Mexican pizza, and the shrimp and gritz. servers bring out a regular Mexican pizza and we are confused since we said deep dish, and they took it back to remake it, but seemed to have a bit of attitude when she came back and told us she only heard us order a regular Mexican pizza. shrimp and grits were a bit bland, but the best tasting dish we ordered. carne asada fries were solid 7/10, easy to share and held us over while we waited for our other dishes. 2/3 steak and eggs we ordered, our steak was well done when we ordered medium and medium rare. asked server to refire, and the steak turned out better the second time. frustrating experience, was not worth the wait and the hassle. my friend has eaten here before and suggested this spot, but based on this experience, we would not recommend. read more

This review based on two separate visits. First visit, we tried 3 different premium pancakes - Pineapple Upside Down, Best Ever Banana & Lemon Curd, and all were yum, but Pineapple won that battle! Asked for crispy potatoes, which I did not get, but they still tasted great. Second visit, Mom ordered the Short Rib Benedict and loved it! Two egg breakfast for me, which arrived exactly how I ordered it. I did get crispier potatoes this time, and they arrived hot, which was great! The only negative was that I had a couple pieces of eggshell in my eggs, which is a huge ick for me, so I could not thoroughly enjoy the eggs and had to push them aside. This happens to me often...is it just me? LOL Overall, I'm loving The Pan! read more

This place NEVER seems to Disappoint me! The Food is Amazing! And they have started opening up more around the Globe in California! The Service is Amazing! The Waiter constantly came to my Table asking if I needed anything or more Water! And at times just filled it up! I truly appreciate that as I know I don't drink enough water but to have it in front of me gives me that push to drink it! Inside the two I have visited so far are very nice inside!

After getting back in town, we decided to come and est here at the pan. My wife and brother in law had been here multiple times and have raved about this place so many times. You should probably make a reservation instead of just showing up. We were told the wait for a table of 4 would be about 40 min, but was more like 20-25 min. You have to wait outside. Standing space only. Not very conducive to waiting for long periods of time. Inside seating is pretty limited so the wait can be a while if they are really busy. We ordered tgiwr loaded original hash browns as well as a side of Horchata. And we substituted instead of a regular pancake or toast for their "best ever" banana pancake. Food comes out quickly. Their Horchata is massive!! Easily a 40 oz or more. Fortunately you can take it to go. It's creamy and sweet. Tastes really good. The hashbrowns were also really really big. Very good crunch on the hashbrowns. Flavors were great. Tasted really good. The banana pancakes were OK. When you use the phrase "best ever," I don't take that lightly. And honestly they could've been better. Thus minus the 1 star. My wife got the Cinnamon roll pancake and they were a lot better!! With the cream and the taste and the cinnamon. It was the best ever Cinnamon roll pancake I've ever had. My brother in law got the upside down pineapple pancake. It was OK. A little too burnt for my liking. Overall a really solid place. The food is amazing. Get the Horchata. I'm glad they allow you to switch out their regular pancakes for one of their specialty pancakes. Definitely do that. I'm excited to come back and try the rest of their menu!! read more
