“Delicious authentic Japanese Hibachi. The most expensive, Filet Mignon Bowl ($18) has a very tender and savory meat with a delicious sauce that pairs with rice. Meal is restaurant level good. Price is reasonable for the portion and quality. Will definitely come here again. Food is from a food truck and you can call to order ahead of time. No seats provided outside of the truck, still worth it.Parking: Food truck is parked inside of a parking lot next to a gas station. Plenty of parking available.“
“This is my favorite restaurant of the year! Exceptional food and service, and I love the ambiance of being in a converted home. The menu is almost constantly changing (so plenty of temptation to go back).The first time I visited Heritage I booked a return trip as soon as I left the restaurant. Fortunately (for my bank account, if not my taste buds) I live a couple of hours away, otherwise who knows how often I'd be there.A must try!“
“Sat outside with our dog and had a fab lunch, not inexpensive but on point with everything—the scallops, the ahi and my fav was the Parisian style raw tuna. Loaded with capers and it came with thin buttered toast points. Fries were perfect. Going back! If you are craving oysters and fresh seafood, this is your place. Very popular, make a rez.“
“Our waiter was friendly and fantastic. The venue itself is very cool. But cool in temperature too. The whole front of the place is open with no wall and we had to keep our jackets on the whole time. The food was very tasty and we loved the trio of guacamole. The filet tacos were too smokey flavored. We finished with the flan and it was amazing. Big enough to share!“
“The chicken marsala was incredibleVegetarian options: Pizza and pasta can be ordered vegetarian. Not a great place for vegans.Dietary restrictions: I had a hard time finding a gluten-free option. Trani's does not have gluten-free pizza or pasta.“
“Unfortunately they scaled down the fish offering and now have only 4-5 options (spicy ahi, sweet ahi, salmon and shrimp if I recall correctly) but everything is super fresh, handed with a big smile and you have an outdoor area to sit in the sun. Love the place. I would stick to the poke. Tried the meat tacos and the chips with smoked white fish and wasn't blown away.“
“We ordered Tamales from here for the holidays and they were absolutely delicious! Great flavor with just enough spice. The server was extremely friendly and got our order fast. Not to mention they were super hot so it tasted so fresh. We were able to freeze some as well for later. We can't wait to go back to try other food!“
“Solid neighborhood seafood-focused pub-style restaurant. Island style, Tommy Bahamas vibe decor, lots of TVs, but not intrusive. Table and booth seating and lots of bar seats. We have been for early dinner twice and do not miss their happy hour or Taco Tuesday! Great prices on apps and drinks. We love the Coconut Shrimp and Chipotle Calamari.“

“The three of us shared the brussels sprout salad, which was absolutely delicious the lobster lollipop appetizer the robins Island steak, the scallop, potatoes, country bread, and for dessert we decided to top it off with the milk chocolate crème brûlée service was great as was the presentation. Nice wine list, I'll be back again and may order the same thing!“
“This restaurant is very spacious and clean. The staff is very friendly. We ordered taquitos dorados and they were HUGE. They were very flavorful. The pupusas were also HUGE! These were also delicious. The last plate was garanachas these were ok I’m not a fan of the cheese I believe it was cheddar. The meat was a little salty. Their prices are average and very worth it based on the size of their meals. We would definitely come back! They also have home made tortillas for tacos and have aguas frescas as well as sodas.“
“Our first time trying this spot. Once I heard there was a lobster specific spot in the South Bay, I had to give it a go. Fun little spot with a bar top as well as booths and tables. We had the lobster rolls Connecticut style, waffle fries, and flaming hot lobster fries. Definitely worth a try. We knew going into it that it would be a pretty penny but wanted to get the full experience on the first go. Also, friendly service definitely stood out. Much appreciated. If you're in the mood for lobster check this spot out.“
“I went to Eddie V’s for the first time for my birthday! The food and the service were impeccable! From the hosts to the servers they all gave us personable service! Our server was CJ. We had a large party but she took care of all of us. I will definitely be back! Thank you all for making my birthday so memorable!Parking: We valet parked it was $12.00.“
“If you’re ever in the Southbay in LA do yourself a favor and source this seafood gem. It’s ALWAYS busy and I don’t like waiting in line but I will here. The benefit of seafood being fresh is because they sell enough that it’s always excellent. There providers must love the account and take good care of them.Okay, ceviche is a must do with tostada chips, avocado and a slew of hot sauces and a self serve salsa station that also offers marinated white onion ribbons and wonderful whole roasted yellow chiles dusted with a red tangy red spice.Tacos come with a variety of seafood options, I suggest the battered fish as a beginning test since you will come back for them anytime you go again, just trust this.Prices are reasonable and the staff are very happy, why not, everyone eating there are friggin happy too. Parking can be a buzzkill but you’ll figure it out.“
“My partner and I came in for breakfast. We had the Quiche and the American Breakfast. The quiche was very good but the fries it came with were not. The bacon that came with the American breakfast had good flavor but was overcooked. We also shared a pancake, we did like the pancake but felt it was a little undercooked. Overall a nice experience, but we expected more from the food. We might try again for other dishes.“
“We love your food. Unfortunately we had a server who just didnt seem to understand how to enhance the guest experience. There were a few things: a salad to start and share without any utensils was one...but probably the most annoying was while I was still eating my lunch , my friend had finished hers. He came and started clearing the dishes and asked if we wanted dessert or to see a dessert menu...I looked up and said maybe when I have finished my lunch we will think about dessert. It's Rude!“
“No new fangled technology here for this authentic Mexican food. The servers work hard and do a great job making sure you are taken care of and delivering hot food. If you don’t see something on the menu you want just ask (e.g breakfast burrito).“
“As their place is on the smaller size, we opted to do carry out since we were going for a saturday dinner. It wasn't a long wait and we reheated in the oven as soon as we got home. We got both Thai Curry and Tom Yum and both were SO good. Would totally come back for this again!“
“I went to dinner at Azucar last Friday, and the place was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, the server was attentive and kind, and the place had an overall charm that made it perfect for a night out. I would highly recommend checking out this hidden gem before it becomes crazy popular.“
“The waitresses were super nice and friendly. There was a little bit of a wait, but it wasn’t very long. I am a pescatarian and I did not realize the clam chowder has bacon in it. So watch out pescatarians. The shrimp and cocktail sauce is amazing though.“
“We ordered 3 dishes. The portions were good and they taste fresh. The French fries were average, they weren't bad or particularly good. All in all, the place is a bit on the pricier side, but you definitely get your money's worth. The portions are generous, and the quality is worth it for sure.Kid-friendliness: They have coloring kit for kids.“
“What can I say other than Chef Melba's is absolutely incredible. We had a fantastic dinner there on Friday evening and shut the restaurant down. the food, the service, the camaraderie, the quaintness, the intimacy of the space is just on matched. . Also, the phenomenal food and a very personal experience as chef Melba comes to your table and makes sure you're satisfied with the meal. John, who is the head waiter? Make sure that we lack Nord need of anything as we were considered v. I p's. We have a special drink at the end of our experience.“
“First time here an was not disappointed at all. From the staff to the owners coming to check on our table from food, drinks an conversations. Now let's get to the food, AMAZINGLY EXCELLENT PRESENTATION Tto the EXCELLENT TASTE. Thank you for a great evening an OUTSTANDING FOOD AN SERVICE. We will be back, if you haven't been here you need to. Trust me you'll be amazed an will be coming back. See y'all next time“
“It’s such an amazing experience to get some fresh seafood there! We were looking for shrimp cocktail everywhere. It seems that shrimp cocktail is such an “old/ comfort” food now which is difficult to find nowadays! It was fresh and delicious!!!! And we got some clams, mussels, and shrimps with garlic butter which were delicious! The nice guy who helped, Brock, was so nice, helpful, and kind! We had such an amazing time, maybe also it’s a weekday and everyone there was having a blast!“
“Great experience all around. I took my friend from Kansas who is not a huge Mexican food fan. I told her to come to Palmilla and give it a try. We had the caesar salad (I loved the capers in it) Ceviche trio, and the carnitas. The food was so good, not greasy like a lot of Mexican food and deliciously elevated. The Serrano cilantro margarita was amazing too. Service was friendly and prompt. Thank you“
“One of my customer referred to me this cafe I have tried today’s was delicious I’m Mexican I’m a cook I’m enjoy a authentic Mexican food this cafe is so far from my own experience the best I have enfrijoladas for me my husband try the chorizo burrito breakfast was 10 out 10 delicious ?“
“Got lucky today after arriving at LAX. On our way home we found this spot! Yelp gave 4.5 stars. Absolutely delighted with my experience at this pho restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, showcasing authentic flavors that left my taste buds in awe. The ambiance was enhanced by the charming touch of traditional music, creating a delightful atmosphere. What truly stood out was the exceptional service - always delivered with a genuine smile. A 5-star gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an outstanding dining experience!“
“Always eat local and support small businesses in my community.Today, I had the shrimp taco, and the flavors were mild, not overpowering. My friend had the El Burrito Ranchero.Also, I tried the ribs on takeout. They were falling off the bone. But I wish they could have used more seasoning.They offer their kale salad with a lot of their dishes, and it's really good.The owners are very kind service is always good.“
“Always consistently good food. Had the salmon and salad with brussel sprouts, and my friend had the grilled chicken sandwich. Seasoning was robust, but not too salty. Waitress was friendly, introduced herself, and had no problem with request for two checks for the table.“
“We were here for a bridal dinner in the private back room. Absolutely delicious!!! Fresh ingredients and everything made with love. Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere! The pasta was perfect and the appetizers were such a tasty start to an incredible meal.“
“It's a Friday in Lent. What's a Christian craving some penitential fish and chips in the South Bay supposed to do? Naturally, I browsed the SouthbayLA subreddit for some fish and chips recommendations.Bluesalt Fish Grill did not disappoint. The fish and chips were hot, crispy, and tasty. They're a great value and extremely filling for the price.I don't have any complaints about the service. It was a bit busy, but it was also a Friday in Lent when a lot of folks might be eating fish? In any case, I want to bring my mom back here at some point. They have a lot of wild caught fish options.“
“The salmon at California Fish Grill is always the best, but I think another thing that I like is the street corn and the zucchini. my go to spot for healthy food and you can never go wrong with it. in this location the inside has a really cool minimalistic vibe which makes for a really nice nightParking: Easy parking but you definitely have to come at the right time“
“Great view and atmosphere, good was good, drinks were also good, service was a bit slow. It is next to a hotel with parking available with a fee. They have nice couches with graters and a fire pit in the middle. Very nice and cozy place with the bow of the ocean and the boats.“
“Hi Ruthie! Here's a 5-star review for your favorite Italian restaurant: I absolutely love dining at Nando! The authentic Italian food transports me right back to Italy with every bite. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming everytime we dine there. I highly recommend trying their gnocchi- it's my favorite item on the menu. Local insider tip - the family style lasagna for takeout is absolutely delicious and incredibly reasonably priced!“
“Our evening was exceptional. Haley was a great server in every way. She was just delightful and we did not feel rushed as we often do at restaurants. She impressed us enough to mention her to the manager. The ambiance was great and the food was delicious. This is a top notch Ruth’s Chris, from the greeters to the manager.“
“Waitress service was not that greatI ordered filet mignon yet when it came to the table it looked like a piece of steak it was very tasty though I did not complain because I was there with my daughter and her food was already there so I just ate what I had I ate what they gave me shall I say“
“BRING CASH! The food definitely gets the 5 stars for me. It's a really small parking lot that is always FILLED. So I suggest either getting there and being lucky or check street parking. I think the largest group to sit there would be like 4 but seating is pretty slim. The service is always quaint and kind.“
“This place is absolutely on of the best spots in LA southbay. I have tried most Michelin spots in SoCal and this place can compete with any of those restaurants. Food is amazing, service is the best and the vibe is always unbelievable. Elysia is one of the best mixologists as well.“
“I thought I would come here to get oysters but instead got the Chilean sea bass and wow it was so flavorful and delicious. Their menu has a great variety and it changes everyday (as seafood places should). Their cocktails were good too. Pretty basic drinks all around 12-14…but I prefer that over anything grandiose and expensive. Service was quick and helpful will be back again! Oh and one more thing, the butter cake ? I would definitely get it if you are on the fence.“
“This was my first time trying this place. I decided to try their quesabirria with consume. To me it was sure good i enjoyed every bite of it with red salsa and lemon squeezed in my broth and sure did the dip on the quesabirria. Very crunchy was just good. Sure will be going to visit in person.“
“I'm writing an update, after having not visited in 7 years. Things have changed greatly. The front has been renovated to include a bar seating area. There is still a small rear dining room. The patio out front has been covered and new seating installed. Parking is still a headache. I dropped a star because they took my favorite pescado ranchero off the menu. Everything is still tasty as ever. Prices have gone up, but that is the case most everywhere these days.“
“Great food and service! I believe it's family owned and operated. Easy to miss, it's not a large restaurant and kind of hidden with surrounding businesses. The first time I had chicken tamales take out, delicious! Couldn't wait to go back. Next time,I had the combination of tacos, tamales, rice and beans. I get something different every time and have not been disappointed! Just writing this review makes my mouth water!“
“Surprisingly really loved the crunch roll ! The shrimp on top was fried in the same seasoned batter & really added a nice taste! The pieces of sole I ordered were very thin however i think If i didn't request for them to be "fried hard" it would've been ok, so that's on me. Would def try again :)“
“Sushi was excellent, service was top-notch, staff was friendly. Only thing I would say knocked it down a rating was the calamari appetizer could have used a bit more flavor but I am being very picky. Still finished the whole thing! Not from the area but if I come back, I would go back here. They played electronic music, which I personally love, but can see how some folks may not like the vibe because of the music.“
“Beautiful on the inside. It’s a place where I feel like I could go on a date or with the guys for lunch. Prices are really good. Portions are large. I will be back here. I was here for lunch. I also appreciate the presentation of my plate.“
“Great restaurant with fantastic food, great views of the harbor, indoor and outdoor patio seating with a full bar. They're open 6 days a week but closed on Mondays. They also serve brunch. Plenty of parking too which is always a good thing, Definitely recommend this fine family owned restaurant that has been in San Pedro for nearly 40 years.“
“Oishi desu!! (It's delicious) I found this place by just searching for Japanese food near the botanical garden up the street. Needless to say, my search didn't fail me. The omakase meal set was so good!! We went here for Valentine's Day and I made a reservation a week ahead of time, just to be safe, but I don't think it was necessary. I think walk ins were being accepted. We both got the omakase set, one NY steak and one filet mignon. So good! Cooked to perfection. Ending the meal with dessert, we had a wide variety of selection. We got one green tea crème brûlée (WHICH IS SO GOOD! Would come back just for this) and one mango cake, which was also so good, tasting like a gummy. Overall, this place is presentable, and also surprisingly affordable for what you get. I would come back here for a special occasion.“
“Just ordered lunch, fresh, great portions! Ordered a shrimp burrito ? 1 grilled fish taco, 1 fried fish taco and tacos dorado's. Everything was really great but there was a little too much of the mayo type sauce on the dorados I'll order separately next time. Loved the spicy green salsa.“
“Been coming here for years. Foodn is always delicious and staff is so friendly. Homey and cozy. Love the Chinese chicken salads!! Beat macaroni Salad too!Vegetarian options: Salad. Rice. Fries. Macaroni salad and much more.Parking: Plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Vintage arcade games!“
