50 Best Salad Restaurants near Harbor City

“Ordered the chicken kebab plate with spicy potatoes and grilled vegetables and it was bursting with flavor! It definitely has a unique taste compared to most medditteran style food.

And the beef shwarma pizza... let me tell you what... WAS A STRAIGHT BANGER! Get extra garlic sauce to dip it in and you'll flalalyyyy to heaven with the first bite.

The owner also gave slice samples of their new vegetarian pizza and it made me want to go vegan. You can taste each vegetable and wasn't overpowered by the sauce.

Restaurant is very clean and the decoration makes you feel like you're in another country. This family owned business is very passionate with making their food taste good with all sorts of unique spices so give this spot a try! You won't regret it ;)“

“Best Persian food in Torrance“

“I ordered the Buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks. The wings were the best priced in the area, which is what brought me here. They did not disappoint! The sauce has a mild spice level and bold flavor. Mozzarella sticks are just what you expect, can't really mess those up! Ordered online for convenient pick up. Very friendly service“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The Baseline: For a sit down upper-scale restaurant is the quality of the food, existence of any unique offerings, quality of the service, and ambiance of the overall dining experience.

Food: There was not a single dish that we had at Slay Hermosa that wasn’t great. Appetizers were the Fried Calamari and Watermelon Salad and wow to the salad. The Watermelon salad had an incredible white vinaigrette and tajin spice. Get this salad! The Double Smash burger was a solid burger. The entree star was the Pork Chop that was cooked perfectly and the bed of sweet corn risotto made it wonderful. For the finish was the Butter Cake that was warm and dense like I love it. Mixed with the ice cream with berry drizzle and my Cafe au Lait it was a perfect ender to the meal.

Service: Fantastic top notch service that covered us for our visit. We were always asked at the right time if we needed anything. Also we got the best suggestions from our waiter.

Ambiance: Hermosa Beach on a rooftop dining area right at sunset… perfect time to dine and all will be fine. Great setting for a great meal. Didn’t use the restroom but it was getting cleaned when I left. The dining area was clean and the restaurant while compartmentalized is very serviceable.“

“terrific food. very flavorful and healthy.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This was literally one of the best salads I’ve ever had. You’re going to become a regular in our rotation.“

“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.“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“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“

“Always Fresh & Delicious 😋“

“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“

“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.“

“Love my Salad 💕💕It was the bomb 💣“

“Great food friendly service perfect pizza place for our town 🤙“

“Delicious food and friendly workers“

“Beach Hut Deli is a gem! My husband and I stopped by and were blown away by the food and service. I had the Beach BBQ, which was packed with meat, fixins’, and flavor, and my husband loved his Sipcolli. We also shared the Beach Bites, which were a tasty addition. Be warned, we were unable to finish the Bites because our sandwiches were so loaded.

The customer service elevated the experience. My husband originally ordered the Beach Meatball, but they were running low on meatballs. Instead of disappointing us, they upgraded his sandwich to the Sipcolli at no extra charge.
The staff was friendly, the place was spotless, and the vibe was welcoming.
We’ll definitely be back!“

“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❣️“

“After mass we stopped by, we were disappointed they didn't have seating but we ordered take away. The place is very clean, this impresses me. We both ordered the chicken kabob, we should have ordered one each of something and shared. As it turned out we were happy we didn't, the chicken is delicious. The salad was fresh and crisp and the fries were perfect. The sauces were very tasty especially the garlic sauce. This is definately a go to place which will be often for me.“

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

“Everything ; food; service“

“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!“

“Pizza by Georgios may not catch your eye from the outside, as the décor is a bit outdated, but don’t let that fool you. The true highlight here is the pizza and their delicious cheesesteak sandwiches , which is above average and well worth a visit. The crust is perfectly crispy, the toppings are generous, and the flavors come together beautifully. It’s clear they take pride in their ingredients and preparation.

While the service is standard, efficient but nothing fancy. However the quality of the food makes up for it. If you’re looking for great pizza without the frills, this spot absolutely deserves 5 stars.

Parking: Lots of stalls available for parking“

“We had halibut & chips which is our favorite dish here and it was delicious! We especially love the coleslaw that they serve with it. The fish tasted fresh and had a light batter so it wasn't so heavy and the fries were freshly made and delicious. Our server gave excellent service, was personable and remembered what we drank and ordered the last time we came. I wish I had made a note of her name. We usually come here weekly for lunch or an early dinner. 🥰👍🏼❤️“

“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!“

“First time eating at this establishment. If it wasn't for the cook offering the samples we would not have discovered this place. The crispy chicken sandwich was delicious and if you are vegetarian ask for the pesto avocado that is not on the menu. Give it try you will not be disappointed. PS they make their own onion rings.“

“Food is always awesome, just wished there was more parking sometimes.“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“
