50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Torrance

“The best açaí I’ve ever had. And I’m from Brazil and know what a good and authentic açaí is! And the service at this place is outstanding! Our attendant Bryan was very kind and attentive with our order! Loved it! Thank you!“

“What a neat experience in the south bay. We came across this restaurant thanks to Infatuation's 2025 list of best new restaurants to try.

We made a very last minute call to the restaurant to see if any spots opened up, and we were very fortunate to nab two seats. Parking is a little tight in this small strip mall area but not too bad in the evening.

Coming in, you're immediately greeted to a really neat setup - bar seating that surrounds an open kitchen with grills per every tea seats. Loved the modern decor with classic wooden Japanese items throughout the kitchen and fun, friendly chalkboards.

We were seated and given a tour of the menu. There are two pretty competitive omakase style beef walkthroughs. We opted to go with the $50 option as we didn't want to go with the wagyu sushi (that and a couple items were the main difference between this and the $70 option). We also had the ability to order more specific cuts of meat or go straight to the a la carte option as well.

The drink menu for non-alcohol items are a bit limited but for sake lovers, there are some great competitive options like a $30 5-sake cup flights.

Going into the $50 omakase, the options for the most part are super solid. We really enjoyed the multiple sauces that came out with the meat. The beef tongue trio was also fantastic all-around. Meats were cut right in front of you as well as marinated/seasoned. The butcher's cut curry also is oddly fantastic. It's a clever way to close out the meal using parts of the ends of meat. The grill in front of you also uses side vents so makes it a much more enjoyable experience.

I think the only bits of feedback we had (and something it seems like they are actively trying to address) is getting more helping hands. There was a bit of a chaotic energy as the tables were full and not enough hands on deck with things like front of house having to be done by the chef.

I think the servers were still superstars amidst everything going on and super kind in keeping us updated as to the situation.

They also do run out of some items of food so would advise to try to get an earlier time than later. Getting there after 8PM also means that you usually aren't able to go the omakase route as a heads-up.

Can't wait to come back and see how they continue to improve and refine a great idea.“

“4.5 rounded to a 5 - came here around 9pm after a round of golf in pv. This place had been on my bookmarked list, and their late (ish) hours led us to give the place a try, and boy, it did not disappoint. We ordered the mascarpone and black beans with crackers app, and it was delicious!

Their main chicken entree, garlic fried rice, and their udon were also all very good (would pass on the rice next time). We ended the meal with the matcha tiramisu and left super stuffed and satisfied.“

“Love this place, this is my first time here at Cellador Ales and had an amazing experience. They make tasty amazing saison, wild ales and sours. The quality of their Ales production is high at the top ? I didn't expect that I'm gonna find a place makes this style of Ales at this level. Highly recommend and of course I'll be back soon. Thanks Santos for an amazing experience.“

“The TJ Barria Tacos are D'lish! I love the authentic flair, every bite is packed with flavor! You just can't go wrong with any item. People you gotta try this place. And their Miches fantastic! Yumm'O ☆☆☆☆☆“

“A friend told me about the Awsome Bagels here, and he was right. Delicious“

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

“furikake chicken furikake chicken furikake chicken poke and kalbi too but did I mention the FURIKAKE CHICKEN??? highly recommended“

“Best brewery in California by far! JUST GO!“

“First time.coming down to this one. Usually hit up the one in Little Japantown.

The soup here tastes just as good!
Only gripe... Not nearly as many of the tempura options or musibis like Sawtelle. But they do have the main dishes here and it was fast on a Friday night to order.

This place is bus your own dishes after.“

“Atmosphere was really nice, and the staff was quick and polite. My only qualm is really the coffee. It was good dont get me wrong, but it wasnt waiting in line till outside the door good. I think this is a good causal place to chat with friends, but not the type to specifically go there for the coffee.

For reference I got the Spanish latte.
All in all I reccomend going on a weekday where the lines are shorter and there's less people and itll be a very enjoyable experience. I do wish they would expand the drink menu and perhaps add some seasonal drinks.“

“We are blessed to have this King Mediterráneo in Torrance. The food is delicious and very generous on the portion served. When I go there, I always try to say hello to Ara or Norah. It is such a pleasure to see and talk to them, they make me feel that we are long time friends. For sure I recommend this place and give them a FIVE STAR rating. I assure you will not be disappointed. !!!!!!“

“Excellent beer and cod fish and chips. I had a good vist this past Tuesday. Plan to return with friends. Thanks.“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“I have driven by this place so many times but never actually stopped in. My wife was looking for a funky beer and we checked their availabile draft list online and saw a bunch of beers that fit the description. We were greeted by a friendly staff, ample seating inside and out, and a bbq food truck offering food options.

We got a few tastings of fruited beers including a fizzy white peach, apricot farmhouse style ale, and a plum saison style. They were all tart and delicious! We got a couple of pints to enjoy at the tasting room. I was also really impressed by their togo beer prices. Four packs were about $14-18 depending on style. This is pretty low for 4-packs in my experience. We'll def be checking it out again.“

“Johnny and Jorge made us feel like family. Great beers. Nice vibe to complement the vibe at the HB location. Now I have another amazing l place to go when in town. Love from Littleton Colorado!“

“Incredible. Elegant. Delicious. Wonderful atmosphere.“

“Lived around the neighborhood for a while, didn't realize how close this place was from my house.It's so good and delicious.One of my favorites is the mango.Smoothie, when i'm telling you that it's super refreshing I love how it's very slushy, like not watery, but perfect.
The people there are very friendly and nice.Good customer service“

“My fiance planned my birthday party here which is located in beautiful downtown Torrance. The ambiance was very warm and inviting. Laurie who helped my fiance plan the party was very helpful and was there overseeing the party to make sure everything went well. The food was very good! Our guests that attended the party loved their burger meat and said it was tender and flavorful. Our waitress and the rest of the staff were so helpful and attentive. We will definitely be“

“Outstanding food and great staff! I wish I lived in Torrance 😂😂😂⚡️❤️“

“I absolutely adored the staff, they were attentive and friendly. Made the whole experience amazing. The food was great, the open time is convenient. It’s a small hole in the wall type of place, maybe 10 tables. I highly recommend. The menu isn’t small and at the same time not overwhelming. They have a daily specials menu too. Will be returning. I didn’t ask, but I think it may be family owned. 💕💕“

“When looking for a proper boba and smoothie place, its a hit or miss on most as they have too many options to qualify as quality product and or they basic and like any other place. 😁BERRY AND BOBA is a unicorn of a shop.

The Tropical smoothie with almond milk,was fantastic and refreshing. The Big 4 juice was delightful as well. The Sfiha was a new experience and had me chomping on something yum.

Brazilian freshness and wonderful customer service. Definitely a hidden gem“

“Best place in town! Thank you Yoshisan! 💙 he’s BIG DODGER FAN LIKE ME! DODGER MEMORABILIA GALORE IN SMALL RESTAURANT!💙⚾️🤙“

“NO MEMBERSHIP FEE TO JOIN ILLUMINATI), I promised Jackson Peter that I am going to share my testimony on how he finally helped me to join to Great Illuminati brotherhood, I was deeply strangled up by“

“We stopped by for brunch today on Sunday and the food and service were outstanding as always. The menu is vast and goes from breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, fish and chips, the famous meatloaf and so much more to choose from. They are baking their own muffins and scones in house which are outstanding. The atmosphere is relaxed like a nice country cafe and it is very inviting where you want to sit a while and talk enjoying some of their great coffee. Misto is a well known institution in the area and folks on this side of the hill love this spot with good reason.“

“I love this Veggie Grill. I've been a regular patron since I went vegan about 8 years ago and have only had good experiences. The staff is really friendly, the restaurant is always clean and has such a relaxed vibe. It's my favorite spot to grab a laid-back lunch with friends (vegan and non-vegan!) or order pick up for an easy dinner. My order is always accurately and quickly prepared and there are a lot of great menu options. The rewards program is pretty good too, lots of great deals and they often have BOGOs on specials.“

“Tap selection can’t be beat. Staff is friendly. Great snack options in addition to other food options that might be available depending on the day and time. The bathrooms are clean. There are games galore. We happened upon them while in the area today, but would absolutely make the 80 mile trek back that way just to visit this brewery again.“

“Scholb premium ales has the best selection. They are dog friendly. corn hole, great music and TV makes this my first choice.“

“So good!! Never misses! Became my favorite spot“

“Tremendous, upbeat staff. Very welcoming. Great variety of food and drink. Great vibe“

“We've been here a few times. We have enjoyed it and feel the staff is good and take care of you.

Parking: The parking lot is large but this restaurant is busy and Scardinos, another popular place, restaurant is in the same strip mall. I've had to drive a loop a couple times each time we've come.“

“Still great after all these years A nice variety of meat selections and super tasty.“

“No dress code, friendly staff and good food.“

“Croque madame, croissant ou chocolate, chocolate ou lavande, soup de’oignon“

“You might get the initial reaction that this place is priced on the higher end (like a MOST places today) but if you go through with the order you’ll be delighted at the size of the chicken pieces! And the QUALITY! You won’t find chicken like this anywhere else, it’s a truly unique flavor and consistency you’ll come to love right away. I had their seasonal Tikka Masala-drenched chicken and loved it, I’ll certainly be sad when it rotates off the menu. Do get their app and register before your first purchase, you’ll find this company is actually generous with the points unlike so many chains that have an app just to say they have an app.“

“Smog City’s West Torrance taproom is the kind of place you end up coming back to again and again. It hits that rare sweet spot between a relaxed neighborhood hangout and a beer list that always keeps things interesting.

The menu has real range. Whether you’re into crisp lagers, hoppy IPAs, or rich, full-bodied stouts, there’s always something worth ordering. They rotate in new stuff regularly too, so you’re never stuck drinking the same thing twice.

But the real reason this place is a standout is the crew. The staff actually cares. They know the beer, they’re excited to talk about it, and they make the whole experience feel personal without trying too hard.

It’s the perfect place to catch up with a friend, bring your dog, or just reset after a long day. Smog City West feels like the kind of taproom every neighborhood should have, but most don’t.“

“You know this place is great when there is always Aline. Yes the line goes fast as your getting a tasty ice cream . There are afew tables to sit at too“

“Ordered double green and Hawaiian via Grubhub o na Sunday night. Quick service and delivery time, Pizza was warm on arrival and was good. The Double Green (placed vegan cheese on it) and Hawaiian were both good, crusts were baked perfect (light crisp). Pizza big enough to serve 2-3 people.“

“Food was delicious. 👍😋👍😋👍“

“Best mochi sweets a hidden treasure of sweets from Japan“

“Amazing service. Their food is hit or miss. The tofu kimchi is amazing. I definitely didn’t like their chicken feet though. Still, the lighting is very nice. They don’t charge extra for rice, so you can order rice to have along with your dish.“

“The Omakase, while a little pricey ($62/per person) was awesome. A nice mixture of of sushi that I would not have ordered myself. The service was quite good and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is a little bland, but also on par for local sushi restaurants. I will be back!“

“This is a nice little place clean and classy, the bartenders are excellent! The bartenders are nice and attentive, the dj is great! Plays some really good music the whole night I definitely recommend this place and I will be coming back myself.“

“Wonderful experience! I have been very satisfied with Hansol Noodle.
The staff are very friendly, and the food is high quality. Each and every soup has its own unique variety of flavors, smells, textures, and styles. There's so many different things to try, you won't soon get bored here! The food comes out hot and carefully made to provide you the best experience possible! There's plenty of seating, plenty of parking, and a wonderful grocery to shop at before or after you eat! I encourage you to give it a try!
10/10 would recommend, I will return!“

“Great customer service and caring people with wonderful drinks and snacks“

“This place is amazing !!! The food is great and the people are even greater.“

“I’m a white dude originally from New York and let me tell you after 12 years in LA this is still the best damn pork katsu curry plate I’ve had.

Come grab some delicious pork katsu, stay for the beer and the good service.“

“Antonio is the best chef in the Southbay, he pours a great glass of vino! Jess, provides great service.“

“My experience was very good and the food was delicious. I would defiently eat there again.“

“Update:

This has become my go to coffee spot now after trying a good bunch of coffee places around me. It's close to me. I've found a few varieties that I really like: Vietnamese coffee, Amai house special, matcha latte and the service is always pleasant.

I just found out the other day they serve goodies but unfortunately they were all out that day. Can't wait to try them out when they're available!

Original post: Wanted to go to my new coffee spot but was not going to make it as they close at 6pm so I searched for something similar and this place popped up. So many great reviews from people I follow so I decided to take my meeting here. We ordered the mocha latte as that was what I'm craving for and immediately we can tell the coffee's really good. It wasn't on the menu so I was very pleased they were able to make it for us. It wasn't as good as the place I'm craving for but we enjoyed it thoroughly.
Place is nice, clean and open and great service! Also it's so close to me! I'Il def be back again to try out other coffees. I'll order something on the menu next :)“
