Came to the Pan for a Sunday brunch date with the besties. Heads up: the parking lot is really…read moresmall.... I think it only fits about five cars. You'll need to find street parking, but there's plenty in the nearby neighborhoods. The restaurant itself is really small too, with just a bench outside to wait on. We came on a Sunday at brunch time and it was pretty busy, but we only waited about 15 minutes before being seated. The inside is small as well. Our server was really nice. We couldn't decide what to get because everything on the menu sounded so good, so we asked for suggestions. We ended up splitting the loaded hash browns, crab cake Benedict, shrimp and grits, and cinnamon roll pancakes. It was definitely a lot of food for the three of us, but so worth it. Everything tasted amazing! Definitely would recommend this place for brunch.

I hadn't been to this place in ages. The other day I placed an order for pickup as I was craving…read morechilaquiles. First off, the hostess was really rude. I know it wasn't personal and it seemed she was having a bad day, but when she gave me my food she literally set it down in front of her and didn't want to tell me. It was very strange. The chilaquiles were awful. Literally no flavor at all. They gave me ketchup with it which was so weird. Would have been nice it came with salsa or something to add a small amount of flavor. A few days later a friend ordered a pizza from there and the dough wasn't fully cooked :|. My experiences made me realize I would never return to The Pan. I would advise against this spot, unfortunately.

The place is so comfortable and clean. It is not loud like a standard bar and there are places to sit that are super quiet. The service is super nice. They will take goo care of you. I love the music they play. I am so sick of elevator music and they don't do that. I really enjoy that. All of their food is great, but I am hooked on their salads. Their Sartori Caesar is one of my favorites. It has super fresh crisp romaine hearts with freshly grated parmesan cheese, sourdough croutons and house-made Caesar dressing. I love the dressing. Their Big Newport Wedge is better than most is has the best iceberg wedge topped with applewood smoked bacon, balsamic red onion, tomato and a great blue cheese dressing. All the food is great and we eat more than just salad, but their salad is a stand out.

I've been coming to Main Grill for years w/ my parents and family , and they never disappoint. On…read moremy most recent visit, we ordered the family pack, and every single item was delicious. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. One thing I really appreciate is the customer service. My kids all have complicated orders with lots of little changes, but Natalie was amazing. She made sure everything was entered correctly, and our order came out exactly the way we requested. From the moment we walked in, my family and I were greeted with big smiles by the entire staff. Even though the restaurant was busy, they still took the time to acknowledge us and make us feel welcome. That kind of service goes a long way. One of the reasons I've remained a loyal customer is the owner. Every now and then you'll see him jump behind the grill and work alongside his team. We all know how much owners have on their plates, but he steps in and helps with such a positive attitude. As a Latina, seeing him interact with his employees and even make an effort to speak Spanish reminds me of my parents. They always spoke highly of bosses who weren't afraid to roll up their sleeves, support their employees, and treat everyone with respect. Main Grill has earned my business over the years because they consistently serve great food and create a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for delicious food and genuine customer service, I highly recommend giving them a try! - PS the Carne Asada tacos are Delicious and humongous

I ordered the crawfish noodles online for pickup, and they were so good and flavorful. They were definitely not stingy with the crawfish, which I appreciated! The noodles also come with two pieces of garlic bread. Reasonable prices and a good portion. I'll definitely be back. Finding it was a little tricky. It's on Western, but the side facing Western is actually the back of the restaurant. You can enter the parking lot from Redondo Beach Blvd or Western. Parking can be a headache since there are quite a few restaurants in this small strip mall. I had to circle the lot once before finding a spot.

Delicious food & great service! The store layout was slightly changed from the original Bowl Thai…read moredecor, but it's very cute (also fun to support the same family of restaurants). We usually order for pick up & they pack it really thoughtfully with stickers noting which is which protein. We've tried the fried zucchini, tom yum fries, potato rings, & tacos: chicken, fish, & shrimp. Tacos are big enough to get 2 instead of 3 unless you're super hungry. My favorite was the shrimp as it had the most flavor & crunchy texture (esp if eaten later, the fish gets too soggy). I don't usually lean towards seafood tacos bc it's too creamy/oily but this place is different bc of the Thai fusion green salsa. It is on the saltier side so a little goes a long way. Also, whoever picks their limes, a lil forehead kiss for you. Their limes are JUICYYYY EVERY TIME. Sides were also yum & different from what's typically offered. The tom yum fries are salty & wasn't initially what I expected flavor wise, but still I end up ordering it every time. Potato rings are just fun sized tater tots. Fried zucchini was standard. We will be back!!

You know the food is going to be satisfying and ready in a short amount of time. My wife ordered their side order of tempura which is always crispy and tasty. My go to is a combination with beef teriyaki and another item. Today it was the chashu (bbq pork) that comes with steamed rice and a cabbage salad. They make some of the best teriyaki beef here. Always tender and the sauce is exceptional. They were extremely generous with the chashu today which was greatly appreciated. The combinations are large enough to have leftovers for lunch the following day so it's always a win win ordering takeout from Gardena Bowl. Nothing to fear tonight except the scores of the last football games on TV.

A Special Thank You to Carlos, an Outstanding Manager!…read more I would also like to give special recognition to Carlos, the manager, who deserves just as much praise as his wonderful team. Carlos personally came to our table, shook our hands, and warmly welcomed me and my friends. That simple but meaningful gesture speaks volumes about the kind of person and manager he is. He made us feel genuinely welcome and showed us that hospitality starts at the top. I cannot mention this restaurant without mentioning Carlos because great managers make a lasting impression, not only through how they run a restaurant, but through how they treat people. Carlos is a true gentleman--friendly, humble, professional, and genuinely welcoming. His personal attention to his guests reflects outstanding leadership and sets a wonderful example for his staff. Between Carlos's exceptional hospitality, Natalie's beautiful smile and warm welcome, and Rachel's excellent service, our visit became much more than just a meal. It became an experience worth remembering. Carlos, Natalie, and Rachel are the kind of people who make customers want to return. Management like Carlos, combined with employees like Natalie and Rachel, is what makes a restaurant truly special. Carlos, thank you for taking the time to greet us personally and make us feel welcome. You are a credit to your profession, and your restaurant is fortunate to have you leading such a wonderful team. I cannot say enough good things about you and your staff. Five stars for Carlos, five stars for Natalie, five stars for Rachel, and five stars for genuine hospitality!

For the price I feel they could give a little more. This time around we got the burger/ fried Brussels, and the salmon Caesar salad. Each item was delicious, but the portions really throw me off. All in all, great food, great specials, but the portions really lack.
