Big thanks to the ladies working at the Torrance location. I walked in today for the first time…read more One asked if I needed help, I said I didn't, it was my first time. She then gave me a quick tour of the store that I didn't ask for--but actually probably needed, I found the meat rubs right away. Then I was browsing spices, around my third smelling of Tsardust I heard a voice over my shoulder "It's really good in stews"--I had been wondering if it would be good in something rich like a pasta. Advice that I didn't ask for--but actually probably needed. She then gave me some additional advice about some other mixes I had been interested in. Even though I'm not the type to normally ask for help, both people minding the store were really helpful and pleasant. I'll definitely come back for chili and soup bases in the fall. The spices and the staff were both great.

On June 14, 2026, I decided to visit one of my favorite stores "Penzey Spices". I love to have a…read morevariety of spices and Penzeys is like being in Spice Heaven! I decided to make my own homemade Italian & Breakfast Sausage using Ground Chicken & Ground Turkey. Penzeys was the place to go to make this dream come true. I can't wait. The store is always spotless and the customer service is awesome. I was greeted with a smile before I completely entered the building. The staff was very attentive and helped me find my spices and also updated my email so I could get their current promotions. I can't wait to use my "Free" Vanilla Extract. I was also able to get their seasoning spice and paprika for only two dollars each. If you are someone that loves trying new recipes and using spices, try Penzeys. I highly recommend it.

The good: I stumbled upon this place by accident because the…read morerestaurant nearby wasn't open for dine-in. I ended up loving our meal here! We got fish and chips and ceviche. There were tons of seafood options. I noticed lots of people enjoying crab. The dining is under a cover but is "outdoors". You can see the boats and marina from here. The seafood was freshly cooked. They have oysters, uni and lots of fish options too. You order and then wait for your number to be called. The atmosphere is super casual. The bad: There aren't a lot of tables for larger groups so you might have to sit separately. Alternatively, you could take the food to-go and picnic at the beach. The interesting: My friend didn't enjoy his lobster roll much but perhaps it depends on the style of lobster roll you get. The interesting: They have a lot of beer options.

I go to Jon's a few times a week to pick up things for dinner. It is walking distance for me. Today…read moreI noticed they took out the electric car charger. I have only used it once or twice, but it was convenient when it was available. It seemed like much of the time, some left their car there to charge for long periods of time without shopping. A new charging station with several superchargers just opened at the other end of the center. I wonder if that was part of the reason this one is now gone.

This place is a hidden gem if you're heading to the driving range at Alondra Golf Course from the…read morefreeway and want to grab some drinks, snacks, or a quick bite. They have all the basics like Gatorade and other typical market items, but what really stands out is their homemade mango lassi! it's absolutely delicious. The mango lassi is homemade and so popular that it's often gone early in the day. so I'm definitely going to try to go earlier next time! Their rice pudding is also incredible! honestly, both the mango lassi and the rice pudding are the best I've ever had. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes me want to keep coming back. The store itself is also very clean and well-organized. Based on how tidy everything is, I'm guessing their meat and prepared foods are just as good, so I'm planning to try those next time too.

The good: There's plenty of parking. The menu is huge and…read morethere's a lot of seating options indoors and some outdoors. It's by the marina so you can see the ocean. It was a good spot to take a big group of kids because of the outdoor space and kid-friendly foods like fish and chips. There's a huge fresh fish selection and options for grilled or fried fish. There are also meat options for those who don't want fish. The kids menu is for age 12 and under and is called the "mini pirate" menu. The bad: I came one morning because Google said it was open but only the market was open. The restaurant wasn't open so you couldn't go in to dine. The interesting: They sell gift cards online. You can order online for pickup or delivery. They offer catering as well.

We eat there at least once a month. And it's usually…read moregreat.... But tonight was truly disappointing. We ordered over the phone for pick-up. My fish was extremely over cooked, even though I asked for medium rare. & the vegetables were not cooked. I like them aldente, but these were hard. Also, both portioned of fish for me & my husband were lots smaller than usual. His fries were great, thou. Maybe the chef was alittle off tonight, but it was disappointing to spend $$ & throw 1/2 out....

So, I ordered a delicious plate of what i call walnut delicious tender chicken meal, but they call it, Fesenjoon or fesenjan in different way it is spelled. But let's dive in, immediately is slightly hard to describe, the small grounds of walnuts, has a tint of green oil on top, that makes up the walnut oil, but their chicken is not dry, perhaps the stew of walnuts with a hint of pomegranate gives a citrus like taste, with sumac on top of that basmatti and saffron, yum. How dare they carry Cucumber & Rose Ice cream!! Holy smokes that topped my dessert:) super excited because I needed a refreshing cold dessert in a humid day here in Torrance. But I often come out here when Im in South Bay. Service is always great, Pearl brought my food, water, some pita with like a tzaiziki like dill yogurt thing. Lol. As always, ambiance, a perfect place even when you ate reading a book or like me on yet another meeting that night. They may have wi fi, or not? I tried, they didn't have it available. Tho wish I didn't have to be on a meeting while enjoying my meal.

There used to be a place to sit inside but that closed that down. You can only sit outside. If the weather good, the. Eating outside isn't so bad. Once you order they bring the food out to you but don't expect anything great service. The only thing they have going is that the food is plenty and it's good food. For takeout I'd come again if it was close. If you're in the elates and just want a simple takeout try this place.

A great farmer's market at Torrance's Wilson Park on Tuesdays and Saturdays (not all the same…read morevendors on both days). I like the seasonal fruits and vegetables throughout. Some faves: - Thao's booth for Asian vegetables such as marunggay (moringa) leaves, chili leaves, sweet potato leaves, Italian and Thai basil, different varieties of bittermelon as well as bunches of the leaves, baby tomatoes, squash flowers, etc. when they are in season. Once I found sugar cane stalks there. - Arnett's for fruit, with many sample bins. (Personal request: please take a fresh toothpick for each sample, don't double dip.) - Multiple vendors with strawberries and mixed berries year-round - The grower with Japanese produce like komatsuna, shiso leaves, etc. that also supplies the Japanese markets. - Organic avocado vendor with bins at different price ranges - Kettle corn vendor - Salsa vendor (the best salsa, and you can specify spice level) - Hot sweet potato and roasted corn vendor (the sweetest!) - Frog's organic bakery (bread loaves and pastries from Gardena) - Tamale booth (I like the individual tamales from the Saturday vendor and the plate combo from the Tuesday vendor) - The lemonade vendor with large clear plastic barrels of combinations like watermelon lemonade, strawberry lemonade, etc. - Mashees Matcha has an awesome banana cream matcha (maybe seasonal?) Shout out to the guy at the Information Booth for the tip on this one!
