50 Best Salad Restaurants near Gardena

“Great salad! Love the option to add your favorite veggies 🥗“

“This place is insane value. The sandwich ingredients are fresh and the chicken is very crispy. My second time going and it’s just as good as the first time.
If you like spicy the sauce is perfect numbing flavor. I already want to go back and can’t wait to try the other menu items.
Also if you like purple yam the Goguma latte is very creamy/rich and refreshing.
The owners are so nice and friendly- I’m surprised this place isn’t packed. Look forward to trying again soon.“

The food tasted extra ordinary. Haven’t had such amazing food in a long time , that not only tasted exceptional but looked great as well. The service was awesome as well and so was the ambiance. Would definitely recommend.“

“Heritage Restaurant, Long Beach – A Well-Earned Michelin Star by Michael Broderick. In a city where “Californian” culinary ambition often plays second fiddle to casual dining, Heritage in Long Beach has carved out a place of quiet excellence, earning a well-deserved Michelin star. This intimate dining experience is a testament to ingredient-driven, technique-forward cooking, where flavors are both restrained, unpretentious, and deeply expressive. From the first bite, it was clear that Heritage excels at layering textures and flavors in unexpected ways. The meal began with an Amuse Bouche trio: a delicate prawn cracker topped with sweet Dungeness crab, a green leaf with another seafood salad that was to be eaten like a mini street taco, and balanced with the brightness and light crunch of pickled turnip. A seemingly simple couple of bites, but one that foreshadowed the precision and thoughtfulness of the courses to follow. To cleanse the palate, a mint tea infused with palo santo was served—a meditative interlude that was both refreshing and aromatic, setting the stage for the evening’s journey. The first official course, Crème Caviar, featured Russian Sturgeon Heritage Caviar and chive, a chilled preparation that was rich yet elegantly restrained. This was followed by Kanpachi Crudo, presented with carrot, ginger, and macédoine vegetables, offering a balance of clean ocean flavors against bright, vegetal undertones. Then came what I consider the star of the evening: a dish that fully captured the ethos of Heritage—Hen of the Woods Mushroom, topped in a “sunchoke stew” (crispy fried sunchoke) with fermented mushroom. For an additional $25, an indulgent shaving of black truffle took the dish to another level, transforming it into a sensory experience that evoked the deep, earthy satisfaction of foraging. The interplay of umami-rich elements made this course a masterpiece of textural and flavor contrast. The proteins that followed were executed with equal care. First, a perfectly prepared Rainbow Trout, sauted to perfection with a crispy layer of skin on one side, delicate pink flesh on the other, bathed in a delicate dashi and punctuated with bursts of smoked trout roe in a light creme sauce, which lent salinity and depth. Then, a 32-day dry-aged rib chop, a cut that can sometimes lean too “gamey” in the tradiinal steak house that cuts corners on a post aging trim, yet here was a revelation—tender, deeply beefy, but balanced. Accompanying the dish was sous vide endive, black garlic, and a shaving of Parmesan, which surprisingly lacked the usual sharpness, instead presenting a more rounded, delicate, nutty flavor. Desserts were a study in technique and balance. The first, a Grilled Strawberry with strawberry granita and Meyer lemon crème, was bright and refreshing, its layers revealing different expressions of cool and sweetness. Then came the Coco Craquelin, a delicate choux pastry filled with beurre noisette ganache and banana cremeux, meant to be eaten with the hands—a playful and interactive moment in the meal. Finally, a Sage Basque Cake, its subtle herbaceousness complemented by toasted hemp seeds and lemon curd, provided a grounding, crispy finish. Heritage is the kind of restaurant that doesn’t simply chase trends—it refines them into something personal, something intentional. The execution is confident but never showy, and the experience is paced with precision, allowing each dish to tell its own story. This is not just a meal—it’s a quiet, profound meditation on flavor, technique, and the land from which it all comes. Where other restaurant profess to be a true “Californian” style farm to table experience , Heritage is, without a doubt, a must-visit for anyone who seeks out truly exceptional dining in California.“

“Fantastic meal full of nutrients and energizes the body. The concept of Everytable is phenomenal. Everything is delicious.“

“Second time visiting, and still such a lovely and charming restaurant! The servers are consistently friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. I especially love their Thick Cut Bacon, Parker Rolls, fresh salads, and all the seafood dishes with risotto — every one has been delicious. Can't wait to come back again!“

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“This every table is a lifesaver. I work long hours running my business, so it is hard to eat well when you’re away from home for hours that hours at a time. But since I found every table right down the street for me, I know that I can always run in and get a nutritional meal that’s tasty and made from scratch.“

“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!“

“Good quality food. Healthy options. Great service. My favorite is the braised beef and mushroom with mashed potatoes. The mango tart is amazing.“

“The workers at Everytable always offer exceptional service, and are not afraid to help out a customer when they are struggling. The casual atmosphere makes it enjoyable to eat at and get a coffee while doing classwork, or even if just stopping by for a quick treat.“

“Healthy Choices on a Budget. That Trap Kitchen Curry Chicken 💣💣💣💣“

“terrific food. very flavorful and healthy.“

“Great pizza and knots! Visiting from Arizona. Owners very friendly and great customer service. Wish we had one of these in Arizona. Definitely we would give 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Thanks till the next visit!“

“This is a great concept for a takeout restaurant with prepared meals. I got the cilantro rice, spicy black beans, a buddha bowl with tofu, and honey spicy sweet potatoes for a great price. Some items were 25% off because they were going out of date the next day, but they lasted in my fridge, and still tasted fresh, for 3 days. They also have meat entrees, but I really appreciated their vegan options. The only reason I didn't give Everytable five stars is because they use more oil than I prefer. The food is yummy, but wish they'd use less oil, at least on the vegan dishes. And, the service was helpful, especially for my first time there. The location in Torrance has a small area with tables and chairs and they will heat up your food, if you prefer your meal warm.“

“Stopped by for dinner because we were in the area. Ordered cheese pizza and were pleasantly surprised. This thin crust pizza was scrumptious! The pizza was super yummy and the sauce tasted fresh and homemade. Although the sign outside says they serve sandwiches but currently they only have pizza and arugula salad. The inside has a small area of bar type seating, with a quaint outdoor dining area. If you love thin crust, you’ll love this pizza! It’s worth a drive to give it a try.“

“Went to South Bay Pizza for lunch today and was so happy I did. I ordered the PCH Pesto Personal Pizza, it was delicious as well as the caesar salad, the homemade croutons made it really tasty and super good. Luis is the coolest guy & made sure my lunch was tops. Big shout out & I will be going back again soon.“

“Always Fresh & Delicious 😋“

“Love my Salad 💕💕It was the bomb 💣“

“This Vietnamese spot quietly sits inside a bland strip mall but surprises in every bite. The pho was rich and fragrant, and their pho‑French‑dip banh mi served on Persian bread was unforgettable. I appreciated how inventive yet respectful their flavor combinations stayed. Seating is minimal, but the staff are attentive and efficient. It’s precisely the sort of hidden gem locals appreciate—not glossy, just excellent food“

“Healthy and affordable. One of my absolute favorite places in the South Bay and I go at least once a week ! I often order online and it is always ready on time when I go to pick it up. The staff are super friendly and kind. I LOVE THE BURGER !! I hope they make it a permanent menu item. The cauliflower is also a staple in our household!“

“I’ve been to a few different everytables and so far this is one of the best locations i’ve been to! Sara, Manwell, Monique and Estrella have been VERY HELPFUL AND VERY welcoming which is one thing i always look for when i walk into anywhere! They make me feel comfortable every time i walk in! Truly wonderful people and i HIGHLY recommend this place!“

“Great salads and wonderful service. will definitely be returning.“

“I've had their chicken and waffles, and it was delicious!!!! Today i tried the loaded breakfast burrito and it was also delicious, I will order double protein. One of the staff members let me know they were remaking my burrito because they forgot to put avocado on it which was really kind of them, and also offered me a beverage on the house while I waited which was really kind and appreciated. I ate the burrito while omw to workout and it was delicious! My price was high because I got all the protein and avocado. Otherwise it would have been $18+tax and tip“

“Best Persian food in Torrance“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“Nathan was EXTREMELY helpful to me. I created a subscription for a Sunday morning delivery and forgot I was going to be away. I stopped by the store, told him my dilemma and he kindly agreed to hold the order at the store for me to pick up in the afternoon. This also required him to cancel the Uber. He was the star of the show that day. Thanks again Nathan! Love your hair!! The shrimp and grits are amazing!!!!!“

“Amazing Experience! The Food is Delicious and Creative. The Margarita’s are just as unique and delicious, and the STAFF make you feel at home❣️🤗 Great Staff, Delicious Food & Great Drinks! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for your wonderful hospitality❣️“

“What a find! Not much to look st inside and you might have to wait- but it is awesome! Gets busy at lunchtime“

“The food is fire! The service is mediocre, and the atmosphere is trash (literally). There was a city trash can right outside the restaurant door overfilled with garage and reeking of piss. As for inside of the restaurant, it is very small and crammed. You’re almost standing on top of other people as you wait in line to order or wait for your food to be ready.

As for the food… wow!! 10 out of 10. I ordered the Koren fried chicken (sweet & spicy) and a side of steamed rice. I cannot wait to go back and order this again. I killed the entire meal and did not leave anything behind. My wife ordered the Spicy Mayo Chicken bowl and the Fried Chicken Dumplings. The portion size was huge! She could not finish it. The spicy sauce was too spicy and overpowered the flavor of the chicken, rice, and veggies. Rating this bowl a 4 out of 10 on the spicy overkill.

The prices here are AMAZING! We only spent $25 for our food, drove to Manhattan beach, and enjoyed it while watching the sunset. Our food was still hot after the 35 min drive.“

“Pizza was very good! 🔥 would definitely recommend to anyone in the Long Beach vicinity! High quality pizza, I would go there again, and again, and again!“

“First time there, the food was awesome and customer service was excellent.“

“We were supposed to go to Sunday gravy and the wait was too long so we ended up here and the food was actually phenomenal. I was definitely go back if Im in the area again. I did a build my own pasta and the regular size was the perfect amount. I got it with hot pink sauce and the spice level was just right. The vibes are pretty nice on the inside too“

“This place is awesome 😎🍻Always a fun time here“

“Wish I had taken photos. This is in the top 3 of Thai restaurants I have ever eaten. The service was excellent and the food was fresh and delicious. The flavors were perfect. Would go back!“

“Everything was amazing today lovely morning team, the gentleman and young lady that help me today were very pleasant. I believe their names were sir David and Emi or something like that they made me feel so welcome and just being able to get my day started was amazing thank you please keep hiring ppl like them amazing team work for a morning“

“the food was great and I got the recommendation from a women that was walking down the street. she said she loves the place“

“first time eating here and will def be back! delicious food, plenty of parking, and clean facilities. they have a couple self-order machines, and though me and my friend were the only customers there, they wanted us to use the machines instead of taking our order. other than that, had a great experience.“

“In my 60 years (GASP) on this planet I have NEVER EVER had such an amazingly great pizza!! You cannot go wrong here!!“

“Fresh and authentically Italian, this is easy, casual dining from the entrepreneur behind Sara and The Wine Bar. Thank you to Gabriella for describing the process behind the different pizza styles. Really enjoyed the Roman style, although it is often known as Sicilian style on the East Coast. Thanks again!“

“Only in town one day and ate here twice. Such a beautiful find. Kind staff. Good food. I wish I lived closer.“

“just check your takeout meal is complete before you leave they forgot my pita bread huhu“

“This is a neat place to grab some fish to eat. Nice variety of fish and preparation options, with a good selection of side dishes too. Staff is friendly and artentive providing prompt service. Oh yes, the meals are absolutely delicious. Overall a solid 5/5. 👌“

“Last week I was traveling through LA on my way to Santa Barbara. I had some time to kill so I looked up Poke. Came across this amazing place! I am admittedly new to Poke. The staff took good care of me and I wound up having such a hard decision. I think the spicy Poke might have been might absolute favorite. I can’t wait for my next trip to LA so I can stop there again!“

“corner joint is the spot for drinks and food... and to kick back just try there food any u can't go wrong“
