    Shrimp Ceviche
    Danielle F.

    Good place to grab a quick bite to eat at the Galleria Mall. The tacos were good, filling, and the spicy salsa was so spicy! The taco plate came with decent rice and beans. I wasn't a huge fan of the shrimp ceviche - only the shrimp tasted good and the vegetables in it were just okay. The food came out quickly and was packaged nicely. I'd eat here again when at the mall!

    The food here is so good especially the street corn with cheese and mayo. The shrimp ceviche is awesome too and the portion is much bigger than I had anticipated. For mall food, this pace is top notch!

    The sign says 7.99 ended up being charged 12.00 for it food is excellent but the lady could have been nicer

    Taquitos con carnitas, rice and beans

    We were craving Mexican food and we haven't tried the place in the South Bay galleria mall so we figured why not. The food was actually pretty good and the servers we nice and helpful with what to order and etc.

    Pork pozole. Weekends in December and January only.
    Brian W.

    It's mall food court food. Expect little and you will not be disappointed. The December/January weekend special, pork pozole, is... alright. It's a good step up from crappy cafeteria pozole but is still fundamentally nothing special. That said it's a nice non-big-chain to have inside the mall and hence is a worthy alternative.

    Second time here, this is my first time ordering nachos. Thank you to Juan for his great customer service. The nachos were bomb!

    In one word , horrible. Was so disgusting and wouldn't come back really outrageous pricing for some nasty food Wasted $20 for a nasty meal. Need better meat and better everything

    This food court at Del Amo Fashion Center is huge and clean with a lot of seating. The one stall…read morethat caught my eye was Shake Shack. I really wanted to eat there, but I already had my take out from Din Tai Fung. The eateries that are currently there: -Chipotle Mexican Grill -Panda Express -Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar -Devil & Angel -Sarku Japan -Charleys Philly Steaks -Shake Shack -Genghis Khan Genghis Khan had the longest line by far. Everyone was standing in line picking their veggies and proteins. After they filled their bowls the workers would cook it on a large cast iron top. It's like Mongolian bbq. I wanted to try this place as well. Too bad I only have one stomach.

    It's been a LONG time since I walked through the Del Amo Fashion Center from one end to the other…read moreand WOW they have made a LOT of changes! One big change is this food court, which feels much more upscale now. If you've looking for a McDonalds or Chick-fil-a, you won't find them here! (a very good thing, IMHO) The large seating area feels modern, clean and bright. There is lots of sunlight from the large skylights, plus lots of "green" with a large number of live plants everywhere, including on the walls! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/patio-cafes-food-court-torrance?select=yZ4UEDuevCdjPWCC96ucOg https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/patio-cafes-food-court-torrance?select=0P-9KcwSvZJm8NoJ9Fa-Cg https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/patio-cafes-food-court-torrance?select=u4D0Vk8XZPjNiQMYKL-6SA You have 10 different food options (well, 7 since 3 are pizza) to choose from.

    This place is a gem. It's a small location with big flavors. Location is always neat and clean…read more We've taken our food to go and we have dined in. When you dine in they bring metal cups with an icy cold carafe of cold water to your table. Customer service is efficient. The person behind the counter is very soft spoken and gives you a slight smile but gets your order correct every time. Hands down so don't argue with me they have the absolute BEST orange chicken. It has a slight crunch on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside. The orange sauce is perfection. It has a great balance of salty and sweet without being overly sweet like an orange candy. It's not tart and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They put the right amount of sauce so it is not drenched. Pair it with the garlic rice and the salad that crops and fresh no dressing is even needed. Order this and you will be happy. The regular white rice is good too! The Zapp chicken is crunchy, juicy and spicy. I normally cannot eat spicy but this one is perfect. Since my 24 year old son told me about this restaurant I've been here four times in the past month. Simply delicious!!!

    Without a doubt, a hidden gem in the South Bay!…read more It's tough to find quality Hainanese chicken, but here they serve it both the traditional way and also fried up + crispy. Both plates come with a bed of ginger garlic rice, lettuce, two large cucumber slices, a heaping serving of the chicken, and their house lime crema + the sweet and sour sauces. I'd personally double up on the line crema and skip on the sweet and sour sauce, but that's just my preference. Their soup with chicken and mushroom is so soothing. An underrated pickup for when you're congested and don't feel like cooking, I should add. You can even order their broth in small or large portions! I think what I enjoy about this restaurant is that there are so many addicting individual components to each dish, but they all mesh so incredibly well on a cohesive plate. I normally choose to call in my order and pick it up so I can't comment on dine-in service. But my interactions, though brief have been pleasant. I don't have much to say about the ambiance, but it strikes me as a family owned business. Be kind and be patient with the staff. And respect the craft of the good food they cook up!

Going there at lunchtime can be a long wait. I've seen lines of over 30 people waiting to pay and select their orders. So I go there either when they open or after 1 pm. I've never encountered a significant wait at those hours. I've been dining there over a decade and always found the food to be fresh. The staff are friendly, not exuberant with thanks. But considering is mainly self-service I'm not bothered by not being welcomed or thanked for my business. It is what is. I do recommend this location for wok dining. The price is fair and your money goes a long way.

    Unable to reach you directly Sharon…read more Thank you for your response and for apologizing for the confusion. My concern is not only whether the fee is adjusted later, but that I am being presented with and asked to approve a surcharge at the time of checkout when I am using a debit card. This has now happened more than once, and staff have refused to remove the fee before completing the transaction. As a customer, I am not comfortable authorizing a transaction that includes what appears to be an inaccurate surcharge and then relying on a later adjustment on the back end. That process is not transparent and does not make me feel confident as a patron. The California Attorney General's guidance states that merchants may not mislead customers or hide differences between credit, debit, and cash pricing, and debit card surcharges are generally not permitted even when run as credit. I hope this can be corrected at the point of sale so that debit card customers are not presented with this fee moving forward.
