Tami W.

I'll start with the pros: I ordered a lunch special and I thought the portion size was perfect. It came with a small salad and rice. No one was in the restaurant, so the service was fast and the restaurant was extremely clean. I walked here while my dog was being groomed, so I didn't notice the parking. It's in a shopping center. Now the cons: If IDGAF was a person, it would be my server/hostess. I felt unwelcome, which made me uber uncomfortable. Although my food was really tasty, I won't be back.

Chicken Satay
Will W.

Food has always been cooked an no issues. Until today. Pretty sure I was just eating uncooked chicken. I called to notify, they apologized and offered to replace it. Don't wish to drive out. I'll be back, but more mindful to see if chicken is cooked next time. Bummer.

Drunken Noodles with fish
Marcela F.

I ordered Drunken Noodles with fish. Very dry and the fish is deep fried. And hardly any fish. It was more like a chuck of dough. 27 dollars just for that order. Maybe I'll order something different next time. Service was good and ambiance is good and clean.

Pad See Ew Noodle
Nora H.

Came here a few years back and its gone downhill a bit since then. One thing I really enjoy is the atmosphere but thats about it now. The portions are pretty small for what you are paying for. The pad see ew used to be really good but now it lacks flavor. The phanaeng curry wasn't terrible and had a very prominent flavor profile. Service is pretty bad, unfriendly and dont even greet you when you walk in. No wonder this place is empty. Will not be back

Wonton Soup
Jenna V.

This is a great spot to go to! The food, ambiance and service is good, and the prices aren't terrible. I wouldn't say it's anything special, but I haven't explored the entire menu so I could be missing hidden gems! I enjoyed the beef Pad Thai I got, it felt fresh. The wonton soup had a really nice broth, although I found the wontons a little too gingery. It also only had two shrimps, but there was shrimp inside the wonton, so that wasn't a big deal.

Orange Chicken
Mike S.

At the end of a strip mall with plenty of parking. There was inside and outside seating. We sat wherever we wanted and our drink orders were taken right away. My wife had orange chicken and it was very good. The star of the night was the asparagus seafood, wow it was good. I've never had an asparagus dish with this much asparagus. The dishes didn't come with rice, but I highly recommend getting some. The sauce in this dish with rice was excellent. You need to try this place!

Seafood soup with coconut milk
Juan E.

So the wife and I were hungry (starving) and decided we were in the mood for Thai. We had been here before, and decided we wanted to try the seafood soup but with coconut milk. To start we had the firecracker appetizer which were shrimp wrapped in an egg roll form topped served with a sweet and sour sauce. These were delicious and got our appetites going. To drink we got their delicious Thai iced tea. Usually it's a hit or miss at certain restaurants with these drinks cause they are either too sweet or not prepped correctly. Here they are amazing. The seafood soup was delicious with the coconut milk and we were able to substitute the mussels for extra shrimp. That was a nice detail. Service was good especially knowing it was the waitress' first day on the job and got our order correct. Last we got their pad Thai with beef which was good but my wife said it was a bit saucy but good. Overall a nice experience to eat here on a weekend since it's never too crowded and the wait time is never bad.

Chicken Satay, Tom Kha Soup, Fried Rice.
Johnny M.

Tom Kha Soup was excellent! Slightly sweet, but mostly creamy and comforting. I don't know why I waited so long to come back. Chicken Satay is sooooo good!!! The fried rice was a little disappointing, but still solid. I will probably try the garlic rice next time or just stick to the brown rice. I love the attentive service and super tranquil vibe inside! Please visit & keep this gem afloat!

This place is a hidden gem! You don't see many seafood boil spots in Torrance and we were glad to…read morefind something local that isn't a Boiling Crab. The restaurant is very clean and organized. Our server was so sweet and welcoming. She walked us through the options and made recommendations based on our party. For a party of 3, we ordered one pound of shrimp, one pound of snow crab, and half pound of clams. The staff recommended mixing their sauces and it definitely hit the spot. The seafood was fresh and meaty and the garlicky, spicy sauce kicked the flavor up a notch. We also ordered a side of fries to share and the dip it came with was amazing as well. The price is very reasonable! It was definitely bang for your buck. They have happy hours that span a good chunk of the day so definitely take advantage of that. Will definitely be back to support a local small business.

The music was good and sports were available if that's your thing Cons: It took 30 minutes to receive our appetizers and at that time I was told they could not fulfill a portion of my order, I withdrew my order of rice and bang bang sauce. After 30 more minutes most of our order came out with the exception of the garlic bread. I was told that it takes a significant amount of time to make and asked if i wanted something else instead. I felt an hour for two burritos was excessive so declined adding anything else. Moments later my bread appeared. It took a full hour and some change to receive our order which I thought was unreasonable, especially since at this point we were the only patrons. Overall: Food was alright, reasonably priced, and portions were aligned with the price. However, I would recommend ordering ahead or anticipate a long wait time. When we went we were one of two patrons but it seemed they had a fair stream of take out orders. I frequent the area but do not live nearby and nothing caught my attention enough to return.

We ordered everything but the kitchen sink.....the shrimp ceviche, the shrimp cocktail, the fish and chips, the clam chowder, the garlic bread and to me the star of the show was the delicious popcorn shrimp deep fried to perfection....they had my Coke Zero on hand and that bumped it up to a 10 out of 10 for us. We will 100% be back!

So if smells like a tourist trap, barks like a tourist trap, and appears like a tourist trap. Then…read moreit's probably is! Look I would've given this place 3 stars, but the customer service and wait time was ridiculous. Hear me out, this is my experience from last Saturday. So first it can be challenging to find this place, since the pier has so many level to it. Look for the elevators. When you get there, for the first time, you see a main line, well for what? Then you see other lines, well for what? Then you see an oyster line, oh. In order to determine what each line is for, you have to do independent research. From whom? Well the employee, who do not show case any form of customer service. There were so many people lost and confused. To break it down, each "Order Here" has their own area of what can be ordered by the pound and/or cooked. So not all lines are equal. There is a crab line, seafood boil/pre-seasoned seafood, oyster, clams, I think I saw fish and fried platters, which was the longest. So after much deliberation, an employee managed to wrangle the customers to form a line. Although his mannerism seems like I'm just done with this place. One might consider ropes to further avoid these mundane confusions... I got Ana's seafood boil mix, $99. It came with a lobster, dungeoness crab, peeled shrimp, clams, sausage and potatoes. The employee told me about 10 mins. I'm like okaaaay, only 10? I walked to their souvenir shop, nothing crazy or must haves. Just cheap Chinese things with their name printed on. I return in 10 minutes. The guy doing prepping/expediting the pick order was in a frantic state. Older white male, white mustache. He was running around, mixing orders up, couldn't even tell what customers had what. The employee that wrangling folks came to help him collect himself. So 10 minutes wait turns to 15, 20, then 30 minutes. I had 2 other employees check up on my order, they said it's not ready. Okay. Finally about 35 minutes it's ready. He didn't even call out my order, I had to wave my ticket. The first rule of speed of service, never over sell the time. If it's gonnabe 30 mins plus, say 40 mins, gimme a bs reason, short handed, etc, I don't care!But why would you tell me it'll be 10 mins?! So finally got the food. Flavor was pretty good. Lobster, was okay. I wished the shrimp had the head on. Clams were big. Sausage was good. Potato seemed like the diced ones from a can, they were so small. The crab, however, is the driest. Yep, for a place that exclaims "Quality Seafood," it was kind've of a let down. They taste like the bottom batch of the crab at Las Vegas buffet. You know the batch that sits on the bottom, they don't ever rotate because the employees don't care. So it's just marinating in its own dry filth. The crab was so dry I could put that in an Advil bottle instead of cotton. So now if you ask me, would I come back? Maybe, just maybe. Anytime soon? Nah, not right now. Also with the mention of a tourist trap, it's no different than Seattle's Pike Place and surroundings.

It's one of those "low-key hidden but worth finding" spots. Don't let the location fool you! I went on a Tuesday during the week when it wasn't busy at all -- nice and chill vibes. But babyyy once 6 PM hit? Dinner time activated. The crowd definitely started rolling in and you could feel the energy shift. So just know traffic picks up later in the evening if you're planning a visit. Now let's get into what matters: The staff? Super attentive and kind. I love when servers check on you just enough without hovering. And the food came out HOT. Not warm. Not "it's been sitting." I'm talking steaming, fresh, straight-to-the-table heat -- which is exactly how a crab boil should hit. Portions were generous because I was overly stuffed and still had plenty left over for the next day (which honestly might be the best part). Nothing like reheating a seafood boil and running it back. Thank you for hosting me and my guest -- we had such a good experience. I'll definitely be back for my next crab boil fix lol

At least the decor was "cute" pretty standard for a seafood boil and had TVs. We got 3 pounds of shrimp with the flavor mix and the spiciest level of heat in addition to some Cajun fries. The seafood was so bland and the fries were so dry with little to no seasoning.
