    Ambiance: it's a corner restaurant located in a shared plaza with limited parking, the Pan's newer location in South Bay, and it's pretty packed inside Service: very friendly staff although slow in each step, it took a while to get seated and place the order, food was served fast almost as soon as ordered, and another long wait to get the bill Food: standard menu for breakfast and lunch items Carne Asada Fries - ** Fries topped with beans, carne asada, jack and cheddar cheese, guacamole aioli, sour cream and pico de gallo, served cold and soggy fries Louis Nachos Deluxe - ** Homemade chips topped with beans, white queso, sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado aioli, and green onion, very mushy texture Alexa's Loaded Quesadilla - *** Onions, peppers, and jack & cheddar cheeses in a flour tortilla, average taste Shrimp N' Grits - **** Cajun seasoned shrimp sautéed with andouille sausage, tomatoes, onions and peppers in a red pepper cream served over two eggs any style and cheesy savory grits, eggs were undercooked despite of instructions, overall savory taste, recommend Price: generous portions as always, however, overall quality went downhill here, expect $35~$40 for a very fulfilling meal with leftover

    Receipt

    First and last time coming to The Pan. We waited about 35 minutes to be seated, which was already frustrating. Once we were finally seated, our experience didn't improve. One of the orange juices was brought out in a dirty cup. When we pointed it out, they brought a clean cup, but with noticeably less juice. To make matters worse, the orange juice wasn't good anyway. The food itself was decent. The French toast was probably the best part of the meal and was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the service and billing issues overshadowed the food. What really upset us was the bill. We were charged a 20% large party gratuity, even though there were only four people in our group. No one informed us of this charge beforehand, and it added about $30 to our bill. Then, when checking out, the payment screen still prompted us to leave an additional tip. The lack of transparency regarding the automatic gratuity was disappointing. Between the long wait, dirty cup, poor orange juice, and surprise service charge, this was not a great experience. We won't be returning.

    Pancakes. The top pancake is a little too thick and the internals looks like there is too much moisture.

    Got "The Lumberjack" ($20.00), Unlimited Toast ($3.00) and Coffee ($3.89). I would rate the meal as just Okay. Definitely quality ingredients. The House Potatoes that were crispy were enjoyable. The non-crispy ones reminded me of eating a baked potato with skin. One of the pancakes was a little too thick (see my picture). So instead of a light texture, the pancake was a little more dense. The coffee tasted like a dark roast. Service was courteous. I went when they just opened so parking was not an issue.

    The Classic Breakfast Burrito and Waffle
    Kathy Z.

    The portions are decent for the price, and there are plenty of options on the menu - what more can you ask for out of a breakfast and brunch spot? We weren't big fans of the coffee, but otherwise enjoyed our waffle and classic breakfast burrito. I appreciated that the burrito wasn't overly greasy. The interior gave me sensory overload, but it's a considerable size and sufficiently spacious. We sat at a larger table in the back. Plenty of parking available in the lot outside of peak hours.

    Top of a Monday morning/breakfast service was great! Spacious. So many options for food & drinks! Delicious & great portion size! Will definitely go back!

    The Pan French Toast
    Hugo D.

    Finally stopped by The Pan for late-morning brunch after driving past this spot every time since it opened. The space is bright and welcoming, with a casual atmosphere. I thought it would be bigger, looking from the outside. The menu is full of different dishes: I tried the French toast with eggs and bacon. For my drink I got lemonade which I'm not a fan of but I know people would love it. Service was friendly, and though the place was busy, I got seated right away The only reason I took off a star is that some items felt a little pricey and the quantity of the eggs were not worth the price in my opinion. I'd still absolutely return, especially for the pancakes Would I recommend? Yeah -- if you're in Torrance and craving brunch done well with a laid-back vibe, The Pan is an option.

    The "Original" Loaded Hash Browns
    Chloe T.

    YUM! I love the Pan! Their food is always delicious no matter what I choose on the menu. The serving sizes are always good enough to share too, which I love! I always get the Buttermilk Fried Chicken because I really love how it pairs with their corncake & roasted red pepper cream gravy. The original loaded hashbrown is seriously one of the best Ive ever had. I'm not usually a big fan of hashbrowns but they make it so delicious because of how crispy and flavorful it is. The Cinnamon roll pancakes were okay, I feel like its missing something, but its still good! Service is always amazing. I love this specific location the most because of its layout. Can't wait to come here again soon.

    The Veggie Omelet

    I have had The Pan on my list of places to try for years! This spot was not only cute but clean, as well. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I overheard someone saying the waiter recommend the hashbrowns and they were not disappointed. I got a mixture of things to split with my friends, but the breakfast burrito and banana pancakes stood out. For the breakfast burrito, I did take out the eggs and added avocado. Everything was a hit and was tasting very fresh. I'd come back!

    Chicken 'N' Waffles
    Herman D.

    The food was flavorful (as always). First time trying this and it didn't disappoint. Savory waffle, moist chicken breast, and a sweet blackberry spread. A great combination together. Clean establishment and nice greeter at the door. ONLY NEGATIVE: The waitress (with the big gold glasses) had a passive aggressive attitude my entire visit. She never refilled my drink, took my menu while I was still reading it, was combative when asked for substituting options, and charged my party for a side of maple syrup without giving us any indication there was a charge. When asked about this, she was non apologetic and seemed to be bothered that we said something about the charge. Needless to say, she wasn't the best waitress.

    I've been visiting different locations of this breakfast spot, and this one stands out as having the best atmosphere in our neighborhood. At many brunch restaurants, you can sometimes sense when the basics -- like pancakes or French toast -- aren't given the attention they deserve. They may look appealing on the menu but feel rushed or underwhelming when served. Here, however, the fundamentals are done right. There's care in the texture, balance, and execution, and that consistency makes all the difference. Weekend mornings often find us slightly sleepy and very hungry, searching for somewhere comforting to begin the day. What we want is warmth and familiarity -- something that feels almost as cozy as staying in bed. And when the craving for sweet carbohydrates hits, we're not looking for restraint. We're looking for soft, fluffy, fully satisfying bites. If that's what you're after, this location delivers. You'll likely leave in a better mood than when you arrived.

    Chili Cheese Fries
    Brenda M.

    This location is wonderful! Good size seating area, with both tables and half booths available. Everything was cleaned and nicely set up. The staff was very kind and Abby was an absolute pleasure! While she wasn't our waitress, she did come by and helped us with some great food recommendations. I had the Short Rib Benedict and OMG! It was so delicious! She also recommended the Guava and cream pancakes, which were super yummy. Not too sweet while still keeping the pancakes nice and fluffy. Lastly we stared with an order of Chili Cheese fries that were very good. I would have it all again.

    I'm pretty sure I've reviewed The Pan before -- I've dined in, picked up, and once again this past Sunday, I placed a pickup order. I went with the Lumberjack, which comes with two pancakes, two slices of bacon, two pieces of sausage, and your choice of hashbrowns or house potatoes. I opted for all bacon and requested that it be crispy, along with crispy hashbrowns. And let me tell you -- they nailed it. The bacon was perfectly crispy, and it made me so happy. Even my toddler was in bliss! Pickup time was quoted at 20 minutes, and while it was running a little behind, I'm assuming they were just busy. From my experience, it's best to arrive about 5-10 minutes after the quoted time. I believe the quoted time is generated by Yelp, not the restaurant itself, so a little grace goes a long way. That said, a perfect order makes it all worth it! I've attached some photos along with the menu and hours of operation. I absolutely love The Pan in Torrance -- they've never let me down. The food is consistently delicious. And really, who doesn't love crispy hashbrowns, bacon, and fluffy, perfect pancakes? Definitely check them out!

I imagine we eat here at least once every 6 weeks, sometimes that is dine-in, sometimes take-out. Ingredients are fresh, pizza is delicious.

    Whoa. WHOA…read more This place serves up some sick pizza. There certainly is a reason it has been around for several years....but you wouldn't have known it on this Tuesday afternoon because we were the only ones in the joint, drinking a couple of draft beers and waiting for my birthday dinner pizzas to be cooked up in 5 minutes... Heated up the pies at home, holy smokes... I am a pizza snob and man, oh, man...Locale90...the crust chew and flavor, holy holy holy moly...that may be the best part of this pizza. But the toppings were awesome too. We ordered the white (hot...lol) potato pizza...fantastic flavor of herbed potatoes...replaced the pancetta with pepperoni per the waitress' recommendation...so good. Also ordered the Margarita and the Spicy Salame. Both also fantastic and while the toppings were great, I kept coming back to that amazing crust. Gosh darn! So good! Pizzas were $19-$22 and more than enough (3 pies) for a family of four. The waitress was great and friendly. My only gripe is that they advertised $6 draft beers on the sandwich board outside but apparently that was a "Summer Special" and no longer valid so our beers were $9 & $10. Ya really should honor an advertised special. And it was my birthday! Still, I highly recommend Locale90 for amazing pizza!

I called to place an order for a gathering I was having at the beach and gave them the address to deliver it to and verified that they would be able to deliver to said address and I asked that they deliver it about an hour and a half after I made the call. 15 minutes before delivery I get a phone call confirming the delivery address. After maybe trying to tell them the correct address no less than 10 times, they tell me that the address is actually NOT in their delivery area. I specifically asked when placing the order and they said they could. Turns out the girl taking the order may have written the address incorrectly. I asked where they are able to deliver it to and had they called me even 10 minutes prior, I would have been able to have them deliver to my home which was within their delivery area. Since it was for a planned gathering, I asked if I could perhaps pay a little extra to have them deliver because with 15 minutes before they were due to be delivered, I wouldn't have enough time to place an order somewhere else. It would have literally been an extra 5-7 minute drive and considering it was due to their error, it would have been nice if they would have delivered as promised. The girl on the phone tells me they're too busy and that they can't drive the extra 5-7 minutes even with compensation for their time. She's also rude and tells me that they're super busy and she has people lining up in store and pretty much doesn't offer any sort of solution to fix their mistake. I suppose this is what happens when a business doesn't even have online ordering or any information about said delivery range info available on their website. Any of the other pizza places we usually frequent have information on delivery range etc. I wouldn't recommend getting delivery from this place, their service is not reliable and they seem really disorganized. Had to get multiple calls to confirm address as well.

Then came the Nutella calzone, and that alone is worth the visit. Warm, perfectly baked dough with Nutella inside that melts just right.
