Good Stuff continues to offer great food and with outdoor seating and a great view to boot. The breakfast was excellent with the freshest ingredients. I had an omelet and my husband had the chicken wrap. Great service and so Pet Friendly, they offer a pet menu. Great food with a fun environment.
2. Mitsuwa Market Place Torrance Branch

Reviewed By Robert L - North Hills
A friend of mine and I decided to meet and have lunch at Mitsuwa in Torrance. I introduced him to Okonomiyaki, which means "how or what you like." It sort of a pancake with a variety ingredients. He had the squid and shrimp version, I have the beef and pork. It was served on a sizzling cast iron plate and the portions are large. We agreed that both our lunches were delicious and we had enough to take home for another light meal or snack. Then we went shopping. Mitsuwa is a very large store and they carry tons of stuff you cannot find in most super markets. I never seem to leave without spending a goodly amount on Japanese inspired cuisine.

We love this little gem tucked away in South Redondo Beach. Food is always great and service couldn’t be better. The only thing I would say is come early because the parking lot is pretty small.
4. The San Franciscan

Established in 1963, Torrance restaurant and cocktail lounge serving prime rib, steak, and seafood.
Reviewed By zvezdan - Washington, DC
Can you go back in time? You can at the San Franciscan. I'm not sure if it was the surly waitstaff, the lipstick red booths, or the average age of the bar crowd, but neither the menu nor the decor have been updated since the late 80's.
The food is generally fine, especially if you consider quantity for the price an important measure. $20 in food will be more than enough...

Serves grilled fresh fish
Reviewed By ibaol - Los Angeles, California
This is my new go-to seafood restuarnat I had the grilled trout with cole slaw and grilled zuchinni. OMG, everything was absolutely delicious. they give you generous portions and the prices are much less than expected. Even though it's in a strip mall (with many other restaurants) it has a very cozy and comfortable ambiance with friendly and efficient employees. I will definitely return to try the fish and chips.

Our food was very good. Service was on point except for we got the wrong change back. Our server was apologetic and corrected her mistake.
Appetizer : Half order of fried pickles, very good and on point. Dipping mustard was amazing, as was the ranch.
Hurricane drink was very tasty
We ordered the Cajun Shrimp and avocado salad - pretty good and the Pulled pork sandwich with macaroni and cheese side. Port was tender and tasty. Table has three tasty barbecue sauces to choose from.
Great visit. We will return.

Eat At Joe's has been serving up great food made fresh and fast to the South Bay community since the 1960s! Our home-style cooking, big portions, and friendly service have made us America's favorite diner. The founder, Joe, worked all day every day to keep the little burger stand alive when he first took the reins in 1969. Since then, the Eat At Joe's team has been hard at work to continue his legacy of great food and great service for our incredible regulars and first-timers! Our dishes are made fresh from scratch, and fast too so you won't be hungry for long. We serve breakfast all day - including our famous John Wayne Special named for the Duke himself after he came to the counter one morning and asked Joe to cook up this now legendary plate! It features two eggs over medium with cheese, home fries, a tortilla, Spanish sauce, and sausage to start your day off right. We also have delicious burgers for lunch or dinner, crisp salads, and chef's specials like Fish 'N Chips and Grilled Pork Chops! Whatever you're in the mood for, come by Redondo Beach's legendary Eat At Joe's for great food, friendly service, and good times!

I've been going to this fish market for decades and am always impressed by the quality and selection of their seafood. Lobsters (fresh and imported), Shrimp in many sizes cooked and raw, great selection of fish. I usually go there for holiday meals to pick up seafood. The restaurant is bench/family style and they will cook and platter your fish and sides for you. Nice selection of wine and beer. This place is down to earth fish market dining but the quality is very good and the value is great. It's always busy particularly around dinner and holiday time.
