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.

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 Jollof Platter with Branzino was delicious, but please do yourself a favor and order the Plantain Sticky Rice! It is so unique, perfectly sweet, and cleanses the palate beautifully. I would honestly come back just for that dessert alone. A perfect new spot to recommend to friends, especially as a post-LAX meal!

The Jollof platter had a lot going on, and all of it good. We also got the entire Jerk Braised Short Rib, and while it was amazing, I wish we'd gone with the 'add on' size for $22, and had it with the garlic noodles (although then we wouldn't have gotten the outstanding whipped sweet potatoes... hmm). The broccolini and Hummus were both outstanding (the hummus wildly exceeded expectations because of the flat bread it came with, and I'd make it a high priority).

It also came with fries. We enjoyed everything and had a very nice meal.

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 had another great experience at Eureka! The general manager, Steven, was incredibly kind and…read moreattentive, checking in with guests and making sure everyone was taken care of. What stood out most was seeing him on the floor working alongside the staff, supporting the team and keeping the energy positive -- you don't see that level of involvement often, and it truly shows in the service. As always, Kiah's service was warm, genuine, and consistently excellent. She has a natural way of making guests feel welcome, and her friendly professionalism is a big part of why I keep coming back. Eureka! is lucky to have such dedicated leadership and standout staff. It makes every visit feel appreciated.

Plus, watching the planes and helicopters come in and out is quite entertaining. Service: Hit or miss.

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.

Let be honest, this place is the kind of glorious chaos you only find when the universe says, "You…read moreknow what? You deserve a little trouble tonight." Party on Western is a hole‑in‑the‑wall dive bar in the most affectionate way possible. The kind of spot where the lights are dim, the playlist is fire, and the walls have definitely seen some things they'll never speak of again. You walk in and immediately feel like you've joined a secret society of people who just want good music, strong drinks, and zero judgment. People will always judge...who are we fooling. lol!! The playlist? It was on point for the spot, it wasn't just good, it was spiritually aligned with my bloodstream. Every song slapped. Every beat felt like it was personally trying to fix my life choices. I swear one track looked me dead in the eyes and whispered, "You're doing amazing, sweetie." Let's talk about these drinks because they were flirting with me HARD. * Jack on the Rocks, a simple classic that's smooth, cold, and acting like it knew me from a past life. It slid across the bar like, "Hey stranger... miss me?" * Chilled Tequila Shot...Wow, this one didn't flirt. This one grabbed me by the soul and said, "We're making memories tonight." * Jack & Coke, it was sweet, bold, and absolutely lying to me. It told me I was the main character. It told me I was unstoppable. It told me I could dance. It was wrong... but I believed it. Ha ha ha! By drink three, I was ready to text people I shouldn't and tell the bartender my entire life story. Didn't happen though. Ha ha ha! Oh wait a minute...I almost forgot...I ordered some hot wings to set the tone, and let me tell you, they came in HOT like they were auditioning for a music video. Perfect bar wings: messy, spicy, and exactly what you need to convince your stomach that the tequila was a good idea. Typical bar food across the board, nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just the classics and messy at its best. But let's be real: the drinks are the main event. The food is just there to keep you from making catastrophic decisions. At one point I swear my Jack & Coke winked at me. The tequila shot told me I deserved happiness. The wings told me to stop being dramatic. And the playlist told me to live my truth. This bar didn't just serve me drinks, it emotionally supported me. For better or worse, get over it! "The energy you give is the energy you receive...always keep that in mind! Just be happy!" Miguel C.

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!
