    Breakfast croissant with crispy hash browns.
    Lorna K.

    Still my number one place to go to for breakfast or brunch. We still need to try this place, The Pan, for dinner. The service is great. The ambience is terrific. They always have uplifting music of old style rock 'n' roll today I decided to try the Barbacoa plate, and my husband had the kielbasa scrambled.

    Pretty cool place; it's best to call first and reserve seating because it gets really busy. We reserved and waited about 40 minutes. Everything was so very tasty. I had the quesadilla and it was nicely flavored with the beyond beef and it wasn't oily or greasy. It was a good experience. I'm glad I went. That was my first time at The Pan. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meal and they added a huge jar of Horchata. Do not show up without calling that's the best way to ensure you're going to be seated.

    Shrimp and grits, I betta neva hear anyone say anything bad bout this dish, devoured it!!

    What can I say about this place other than YES PLEASE! It's always so good. The very friendly greeter (woman) said the wait was going to be about an hour but we honestly did not wait that long. I love how the waiting list is by phone so you don't have to wait inside, just near by. The food is fantastic! I had the kielbasa scramble with a tiramisu pancake. My husband had the shrimp and grits with a plain waffle. My tiramisu pancake was amazing! Sweet and delicious. My kielbasa scramble although very good it did not come close to being better than my husband's shrimp and grits, which we shared. The shrimp and grits are on a different level and they hit hard every time. The place is filled with people but we received a warm welcome and the waitress, Sam took good care of us. It can be a little loud inside but it's also cozy and the music playing throughout the restaurant was also a vibe. I love this place, I'll never get tired of it.

    Fish N Chips with Yuca Fries
    Desiree A.

    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.

    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.

    The Lumberjack, one with regular buttermilk and one upgraded to banana pancakes
    Ashley Y.

    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!

    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

    The Cast Iron Burger, The "Original" Loaded Hash Browns, Strawberry Paradise Pancakes
    April V.

    Came last night around 6:45pm. Got the loaded hashbrowns, strawberry pancakes, & cast iron burger Everything tasted good, our server was nice & she checked up on us. The food was fresh & we enjoyed it This spot is like a fancy diner that offers breakfast all day, lunch, & has a dinner menu. They also have some happy hour options from 3-7pm

    Breakfast fire, servers are so sweet!! The restaurant it's self seems a bit small but you can definitely look past that because of how great the food taste! Will definitely be coming back

    Banana Pudding with a sprig of rosemary!
    MalloyNregina A.

    Revisiting my review Because our server RUDY is amazing. Very tentative from start to finish. Took to heart his food recommendations and enjoyed the banana pudding dessert he also suggested adding a sprig of rosemary on top was going the extra mile. The vibe is positive dining here today.

    The service at this place is amazing my server Daniel was very attentive the food was very good I had three other people with me and the agree the food was very good I got a BLT with avocado on a croissant with Yucca fries and an Avocado Salad my friends got Chili cheese fries and I will say they were the best Chili cheese fries I ever had in my life my nephew got Pancakes they was very good and my sister got fish tacos and they were very good also I will definitely return Service. A+ Food. A+ Cleanliness A+

    Pastrami egg sandwich
    Malinee S.

    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.

    no apology and telling me straight up refund. So arrogant bec they knew that they have a lot of customers

    Jeez, I can't believe I've been sleeping on this place for so long!!…read more CM Chicken is a solid Korean fried chicken spot along Western Ave. with a decent amount of parking. Upon walking in, you'll find a relatively open space with tons of seating. Jade did his thing with his customer service. Other than myself, he had 2 additional tables with other solo diners, and a large party occupying a long table in to watch the World Cup. After being seated, he gave a quick and thorough run through of the menu. He also put me onto the lunch special. For $12.99 you can get 5 juicy wings with a flavor of your choice, a roll, coleslaw, your choice of regular or waffle fries, and a soda. At face value, it doesn't sound like a lot of food - but the wings are a good size and the serving size for fries is mad generous. The chicken had a crunchy exterior and was super juicy & tender on the inside. I got the waffle fries cause Jade mentioned they crisp'd up better, which ended up being a spot on recommendation. I''m looking forward to my future visits so I can try the spicier flavors.

I prefer the beef but my wife went with the chicken. She liked the fact that their teriyaki sauce isn't overly sweet like so many other teri places. They did a great job with the rice this time too. It can be rather hit or miss quite often. The medium bowl is a great deal. A very generous portion of food for the price. A large would have been overkill to take to the stadium. I still had leftovers after the game so I'm glad I didn't go with the larger order. Calling the order in is definitely the way to go. It's usually not too busy but during the weekend, it can get crazy and take forever if you order at the counter. Play it safe and make a phone order.
