First time hearing about this place and can see why it's a popular one. Parking lot at this…read morelocation can be hard in busier days since it shares with already small and share with other businesses. We waited a few minutes before being greeted and seated. Looked like they just had a rush with everyone busy clearing out tables, which was find because it gave us a few minutes to look at their specials they had up on the screen. We chose to sit in a booth and had our orders taken. We were pleasantly surprised when the complimentary mini conchas arrived. Would be preferred with coffee but I'm not a coffee drinker. It was still warm and the top and edges had a slight crunch to them while the inside was dense and soft. Their menu was extensive. I ordered the Chilaquiles with the red sauce (spicy), over easy eggs, and refried beans. Loved this plate! Chips were thick and still crunchy. Red sauce was flavorful with a hint of spice. Eggs were well cooked and beans were well seasoned. Cute diner vibe cafe with great food and service.

Stopped by The Pan in Gardena located on the corner of Western Ave and 166th St., after noticing…read morethe rare sight of a smaller weekday or weekend crowd, and I'm glad we did. I ordered the "Original" Fully Loaded Hash Browns and a variety of pancakes were the star, crispy edges on my hash browns, generous toppings, and a portion size that could easily feed two people seriously. It's one of those dishes that feels indulgent in the best way. The restaurant has a relaxed, casual feel, and the service was impressively fast without losing any attention to detail. Parking is definitely tight, so plan on grabbing a spot along 166th if you're trying to beat the rush. A satisfying brunch experience with comfort food done right. Miguel C.

The steak was tender, juicy, and cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes were definitely a hit too. Even though they were packed, the service was still good. It's a small space. Just be prepared to wait a little if you're going on the weekend. Trust me, it's worth it. A solid breakfast spot that's been holding it down for years and one I'll definitely keep coming back to.

About an hour wait to get a table on the weekends. They do have bar seating if you're alone so i would go there. Staff is very nice and have orders organized with the kitchen. I must say the lemonades they make here is some of the BEST i ever had. Get the sunset lemonade, absolutely delicious but expensive at $8 bucks. Soo good i would just come back for that. They also have pies and cookies here Good experience at the pan. Sunset lemonade 10/10 The best i ever had! Get one! The lumberjack plate 8/10

This time I tried the chorizo with egg whites instead of Asada with egg whites. It wasn't my favorite, but that had nothing to do with how it was cooked or served--it just wasn't for my taste buds. I'll definitely stick to the asada next time! This location is always clean, and I love the decor and overall vibe. Just make sure to get there early because they definitely get busy! Always a solid breakfast spot in LB.

There's a big free parking lot which is a huge plus. Be ready to wait during brunch hours on the weekends. It's worth the wait though. On a Sunday around 10:30am, it was about a 45 minute wait for 3 people. Luckily there's a claw machine store right next door to kill the time. Once we got seated, the service was friendly and fast. The Loaded Hash Browns were delicious and a big portion. I do wish the hash browns was a little more crispy though. It's a nice clean diner with a country cooking feel. It's not too big, which is probably why there can be a long wait.

We also ordered the ube Basque cheesecake, and it was easily one of the best desserts I've had recently--rich, creamy, and not too sweet. Our server, Sergio, made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations without making us feel rushed. The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere that's great for date night or dinner with friends. I'll definitely be back, and the cheesecake alone is worth another visit.

DINING While Black…read more The 908 Restaurant Environment 1-5: 5 I really appreciated the ambiance and decor of the space. After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.

We are big fans of the insurrectionist DH ipa and them having underbergs is a big plus for us. The food is where this place shines for us. The menu is curated around Hispanic/ Mexican flavors and they knock it out of the park everytime (dodger game is on lol) the rib eye taco, the fish tacos, the chicharrones with guacamole and salsa verde and the wings with a lime ranch are absolutely killer! We don't mind driving 30 minutes from home to come and visit them. The service is amazing, it reminds me of a proper restaurant where staff is always walking by and making sure everyone is ok. It's a dodger brewery so the ambiance can be good!

I even called just to make sure I wasn't missing something, and the message said they would be closed February 10 and reopen on Wednesday. The only confusing part is that today is Wednesday, February 25, so I wasn't sure what was going on. A little disappointing since I was definitely looking forward to trying their breakfast. Hopefully it was just an unexpected closure or scheduling issue because the food looks really good and I'd still like to come back and give it a proper try when they're open.
