    Came here for the first time yesterday since it was close to work! I enjoyed my club sandwhich and I ordered my fried extra well done. I was surprised they executed everything so nicely since normally people have ignored my request. My husband really enjoyed his pastrami sandwhich with extra pickles and asked if this place was close to my job...... I know I'm going to be going back sooner than expected! Next time however, I will put a phone order before pick up

    It says Drive-In, but it's impossible to drive in at this location. When you go into the drive-in way, the window is not open and no one is available to take your order. When you pull up to the Drive-In menu and speaker, there is no one asking you what your order might be. When you pull around the drive-in speaker, you realize there is no Drive in, as there's no way to get out. Why is it called a drive-in restaurant? I had a minute, so I walked up to the window. Be careful not to park near the wall, as it smells like pee. I almost got right back in my car and went somewhere else. However, I was hankering for a full breakfast under $5--you know, like the corner joints make. So upon approach, I found an elderly man with a clean kitchen awaiting my order. He took my order and I thought I would see him cook on the front grill. He went to the back grill, behind the wall I could not see. He reappeared what's the veggie omelette in a bowl ready to pour on grill. The omelette have so many vegetables in it oh, I could not taste the egg. While I waited for my omelette, another young man order fries to go and received them. Another gentleman ordered a burger and fries , and his was readying, as mine was. The place was impeccably clean. The front kitchen was clean, the hallway kitchen was clean, the outside patio was clean...

    Pastrami sandwich

    Pastarami sandwich is definitely the best in the Long Beach/Compton area. So darn good. I'm going back for the second time today. Highly recommend this small family business makes me want to support as much as I can. The customer service was 5 stars. Friendly and warm.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich, delicious.

This is just my opinion and experience with plenty of breakfast spots. The shrimp and grits are very good,and you do get a healthy portion, but for 20 plus dollars,it does not come with any breads at all,but you have the option of ordering separately at an additional cost! The ambiance is bright and refreshing,restrooms clean,and plenty of parking in lot(formly the Sizzler). I happen to attend on a Monday evening for bingo it was really fun! I won twice that evening, your first card is complimentary with a $10 purchase of something,thereafter,the cards are $5 per game. You get to spend a winners wheel for lots of prizes, including cash! Now I ordered a pastrami sandwich,and when I tell you it was disgusting, it was awful,the meat was fried to a crisp,I thought it would be steamed pastrami meat(my bad)! It also came with grilled onions,if you happen to go for onions on your pastrami sandwich. I chose sweet potato fries,which tasted like they were cooked in meat grease! Just horrible! I will never order that again! Will I return and try other items from the menu,yes, the pastrami sandwich just isn't the right choice for me, you may like it lol! With that being said let me know you guys thoughts on it when you go!

    There are two locations in Gardena, and this one has better parking and a more spacious interior…read more The atmosphere is lively and it's almost always busy. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They greet you when you arrive and also say goodbye when you leave, which I really appreciate. They have a separate kids menu with plenty of options. The overall menu is diverse as well. It's not just breakfast, but also tacos, pancakes, sandwiches, and salads. My go-to dish is the Original Loaded Hash Browns. It's really delicious and the portion size is just right. I also tried the Cobb salad with added chicken. It was fresh, but the dressing was a bit heavy and slightly salty. Unfortunately, I found a small piece of plastic in it, but when I mentioned it, they handled it well and removed it from the bill. The music is good, but the speakers don't seem to be in great condition, so the sound quality could be better.

We arrived and unfortunately it was a 45min wait for a table, but we were set on eating there so we waited. The service was friendly. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in on us regularly. I ordered the shrimp and grits with a scrambled egg. The egg was nice and fluffy - perfectly cooked. Really loved the flavor from the shrimp and the sausage. The bell peppers added a nice touch and it had a noticeable Cajun seasoning. Not the best shrimp and grits I ever had but definitely far from the worst. I would definitely order it again. For desert we ordered the lemon drop pancakes. Definitely a unique flavor that I've never had before. Per the name, it was definitely on the sweet side.

    My husband and I have visited 908 four times before, and unfortunately our past experiences were…read moredisappointing. One visit we waited over 40 minutes without being acknowledged, another time our order came out wrong, and another time the food arrived cold like it had been sitting for quite a while. Because of that, I honestly did not want to come back tonight. But I was craving a good steak, and after my husband suggested giving 908 another try, I reluctantly agreed. I noticed the filet mignon on the menu paired with broccolini and decided to go for it. From the moment we walked in, the experience felt completely different. The hostess was warm and welcoming and seated us immediately. A young man came over right away with waters and took our drink order, which already surprised us in the best way. Then Alex S came to our table, and he truly made the night exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful in making sure my order was exactly how I wanted it. I mentioned that I didn't want a large piece of butter melting over the steak, and he happily accommodated that request. He even checked on the exact ounce size of the filet for me, which I appreciated. We ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer, and honestly, they were the best Brussels sprouts we've ever had. Perfectly cooked, not drowning in sauce, and absolutely packed with flavor. My 8 oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare, exactly as ordered. The broccolini was crisp, fresh, and not overly oily. Everything tasted thoughtful, balanced, and worth every dollar. Most importantly, Alex S delivered spectacular service from start to finish. We were genuinely shocked to learn this was his first night shift because he handled the dining room with professionalism, warmth, and confidence far beyond what we expected. Thank you, Alex S, for completely changing our impression of 908. Tonight's experience was excellent, and for the first time, we are actually excited to come back. Thanks again, Jed Dornoff

The spicy tuna crispy rice dish was my favorite, I came in for the steak salad but then got more tuna with the poke bowl. It was all great and I got a side of spicy mayo and eel sauce. Our server Sergio was amazing very kind, personable and great service! Definitely recommend :) Ambiance was nice too and food came out quickly.

A lot of what they serve feels homemade, which makes a difference. The ambiance has this cozy, old-school vibe, and the customer service has been consistently great every time I've gone. Plus, the portions are generous, definitely not leaving hungry. Prices are a bit higher than your typical breakfast spot, but honestly, it makes sense for the quality you're getting. It is a smaller space, so I recommend going early to avoid a wait or just plan ahead and make a little date out of it. There are cute shops nearby, so you can walk around while you wait. My favorites so far: the spicy chilaquiles and the steak and eggs. And listen, I'm not even a big meat eater, but I've ordered the steak and eggs three times in a row... that's how good it is. Highly recommend trying it at least once.
