Another pleasurable visit!…read more I ordered the Farm Club Sandwich and forgot to ask for ciabatta bread instead of wheat. Even after placing my order, the staff was happy to accommodate the change, which I greatly appreciated. The sandwich, paired with the tomato basil soup, was phenomenal. It was loaded with turkey, smashed avocado, smoked bacon, pickled red onions, and fresh greens. The flavors blended perfectly, creating a sandwich that, in my opinion, is far better than anything you'll find at Panera. After my wife and I finished our meal, one of the staff members, Zeron, kindly offered to clear our trays and bowls. Service like that never goes unnoticed. As always, the atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, with plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor tables for those who prefer to dine outside. Thank you for another delicious lunch. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Starbird Chicken started in Sunnyvale, CA in 2016 and now has 19 locations across California and…read moreColorado. The restaurant's concept is "super-premium fast food", offering antibiotic-free chicken, scratch-made sauces, and fresh vegetables. They've also created their own proprietary plant-based chicken substitute ("Garden Bird"). I was going to order a chicken sandwich but decided to try a lunchbox option called "The Star Box" for $10.97. The meal came with two chicken strips, a bowl of "Rainbow Slaw," two churros, and a fountain beverage. I liked the chicken strips because they weren't overly breaded or heavily seasoned. The meat was just right--not too moist and definitely not dry. I think this approach to chicken carries over to their sandwiches. It's a good preparation. The coleslaw has a mix of cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. It is colorful. The seasoning is light, but the combination has a great taste overall. I'm a fan. The lunch box included two churros, each about the size of a large onion ring. They were served with a chocolate dipping sauce, though I enjoyed them plain. Lightly dusted with sugar, they weren't overly heavy or greasy and had a nice chewy texture. The beverage selection was impressive, featuring a variety of Alameda Soda Company fountain drinks and three types of lemonade. I suspect much of the business comes from takeout or food delivery, but there's a pleasant outdoor patio with umbrellas. The indoor dining area is small yet clean and comfortable. This was my first time visiting this store and my first experience with the brand. This store provided a good first impression.

Meat Eaters should enjoy this meal as I used to order it before I went plant-based (you can still have meat on a plant-based diet though kinda less often). It's made with Tofu with a really toothsome Vegan fish sauce(no fish were harmed in this instance!) and really herbaceous. I really love that they have this here. If you're wondering how their Vegan Banh Mi stacks up to a Vietnamese casual spot--it is still quite different... theirs has their own gourmet spin on it. I've tried their other sandwiches, salads and soups (with or without meat) on occasion. And always had a great experience trying out a variety of flavors and tastes they offer. Come here... you won't be disappointed! Also, I really enjoy their clean A/C air and modern appeal. (Sorry I don't have pics! I'm always eating.)

The menu has a good variety of proteins, sides, and vegetables, so it's easy to put together a meal that fits what you're craving. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the portions were generous. The restaurant has a clean, modern, and casual atmosphere, making it a good spot for a quick lunch or dinner. Service was friendly, especially my server Jin and the ordering process is straightforward. Prices are a little higher than typical fast food, but the quality and portion sizes make it feel reasonable. Definitely a solid choice in Torrance when you want something flavorful, fresh. I'd definitely come back and try some of the other items on the menu.

The app could definitely use a better search function because I spent way too long trying to find what I wanted. What stood out though was the manager. This manager was LOCKED IN!! Helping customers, delegating to staff, calling people over when they needed an extra hand, answering questions, keeping things moving, and somehow still managing to stay calm and kind the entire time. You can absolutely tell the difference between someone who's just doing their job and someone who's genuinely great at it. I was stressed, running behind, and trying not to drop the ball on something important, and everything was handled so efficiently that I could literally feel my anxiety coming down. The whole staff was great, but the manager was the GLUE. Food was mid (probably because they were getting ready to close, but also I'm just not really a salad person), but honestly that wasn't the part that mattered to me. What mattered was that my family got something decent to eat and was treated with kindness, patience, and understanding when it mattered most.

It was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life and I only bought it because I was with a friend if I would've saw the portion size at the end, I would've walked out and told them I'm not paying for that. They were extremely greedy with the portion sizes. They asked if I wanted a "free" bread at the end when I was paying. There were three options in front of me so I picked the one bread that looked the best out of the three they honestly all look very crusty but I picked the best looking one and I said I'll take that one and the girl says oh no, not that one it has to be one of these two the one that I picked is an up charge just like everything else in that store.. extremely disappointing. I would never return ever in my life. If you want the world's smallest portion sizes with 90% lettuce and 5% toppings and another 5% of protein then this is your spot. And let me just mention I'm 115 pounds at 5'2 which says a lot on how tiny these portion sizes were if it were small for me with double chicken save yourself the money and disappointment. They make it look big by grabbing a big shallow bowl and filling it up with 90% lettuce. I was in disbelief to see the tiniest amount of toppings that they put and they spread out the toppings so that it looks like it's full.

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.
