    Bread. 10/8/25
    Lilah J.

    Located in the Chargers Commons in El Segundo, this Panera is very much like other Paneras I have been to. I was early for an appointment nearby and stopped by for a bagel, honey walnut cream cheese and just water. Always a fan of their bagels and cream cheese. I occasionally have chosen their decaf teas or coffee. Service at the front was pleasant. They have a code for the restroom that they provide to customers. I do not get the Pick 2 options anymore as I am not a fan of Corporate shrinkflation. (Higher pricing for tiny portions. See reviews and photos of others.) If I wanted a sandwich at the Chargers Commons, I would try their neighbor. Ghost Sando super closeby. Their yelp review ratings are averaging above 4 stars currently. But for something simple like a bagel and cream cheese or pastry, this Panera is OK.

    This location has comfortable seating, ambient pop music not too loud in the background and ample parking as well as complementary (not really competing) peer restaurant options along the walkway .

    Reality vs the ordering website

    Highway. Robbery. Who would pay $15.39 + tax, tip for this?? Empty sandwiches that are missing all the ingredients is just called bread. Tiny salads or soups. I don't understand how it's possible to be so bad. We've given this location a few tries. Always terrible. Hubby works down the street and would come for lunch even if this was borderline ok. He's a sandwich lover. Panera is a chain. The folks running this location know we compare to experience with other locations, right? SMH

    Tulip cookie.

    Drive through was terrible. Left me waiting for 10 minutes gave me the wrong order and then got home and the whole sandwich was burnt to a crisp. Not cool after an hour drive on the 405. Gave me a free tulip cookie. That was ok. Do better Panera

    I hadn't try this location again because I had a no so good experience last I came However today was great both my sandwich and salad were delicious Great customer service I gave 4 stars because service was fast and reliable

    No meat on a Philly cheese sandwich

    Literally just got home to discover hardly any meat on a $16 sandwich. This is truly my last time coming here. Panera fell all the way off . Now I have to spend more money somewhere else to get something to eat.

    Just came to this location the get a Sip Club drink. So as far as service, it is difficult to say. Staff seemed nice enough though. Ordered in advance in the app. This location looks newer and very clean and modern decor inside, will be back to do a sit down at some point. They have a private parking lot near the freeway. They also have a drive thru at this location. Highly recommended to join the Sip Club, unlimited drinks every two hours, every day, well worth it. Enjoy!

    Panera is my go to place for breakfast! They have so many delicious breakfast foods. They make picking up breakfast so convenient for me on my way to work. I love their lattes as well. Tip: order ahead so that you can quickly pick up and not waste no time. They have a huge parking lot and it's located next to other food places.

    This is a great location to come chill and work I see it's clean and organized and the staff are chill! The parking is open and it's nice to my fav food place calif chicken cafe which is really good besides Panera is good too! I see lots of men here in the morning but it's pretty empty!

    Well, it's been quite a while since we dined here and, after tonight, we are wondering why we…read moredidn't come back sooner. The last time we were here, it was during a busy lunch and both the service and the food were below par. But tonight, it wasn't as busy and our server, Geovani, was excellent. First, we were quickly greeted and asked to select our table (since they were not that busy). Since there was only two of us, we picked a table for two. But, after we decided that we would split an appetizer and an entree, the table for two became way to small way too quickly. Geovani jumped right on this, suggesting we move to a larger table. He helped us move everything over and, voila, we were able to stretch out and relax and enjoy our meal. We started with the pear and blue cheese salad and, wow, we could have just ordered this, split it, and we would have been full. Very flavorful, generous portion that is definitely big enough to share. We also ordered the Sausage & Leek Fettuccine and I was definitely not thinking. Totally forgetting that leeks are part of the onion family (and I have a sensativity to onions). Once the dish arrive, I immediately noticed the similarity and was slowly trying to pick them away from my portion. Once again, Geovani came to our rescue. He asked how everything was and I told him I made a mistake (noted above). He quickly volunteered to have the kitchen make it again without the leeks. I asked, "Are you sure?", and he immediately said yes and removed the dish. Very shortly after, he returned with the "onion sterile" dish and it was wonderful. Both of us were so full you could have rolled us out the door. Good thing the parking garage is so close so we could just hop in our car and go home. Time to loosen the belt! ;) In a week where we have had some personal issues, it was so nice to be treated so well and received such a great tasting meal. Hope you get the time to stop in and I hope you get Giovani to answer all your questions and issues. Enjoy!!!

Waitress was a bit brusque. Ok. We all have bad days. But she never checked on us: MIA. I needed a refill. Waited and waited she was nowhere to be found. Busboy delivered our food. We asked for an extra plate and a refill. We never got either. Still no waitress. Had to go to the bar to get the plate and the refill. What really soured me was the bartender/manager's attitude. I told her the service was not good. She grudgingly asked what was wrong. I explained. She responded defensively that they had a busy day. No apology, which really goes a long way. She came back to check on us, but was surly. I would like to think that today was a one off. But the service was a big fail from the very beginning with waitress to the busboy to the manager. This signals a serious owner/management problem. In all fairness, food was still good. But, not so good as to put up with unprofessional service. I left with a very bad taste in my mouth. Had been giving this place a shout out to friends. Won't be doing that anymore.

My daughter got the cheese pizza and my son got the penne pasta. I kind of wish they had a side of vegetables or fruit, but thankfully, I had just given my kids some fruit before, so avoided the mom guilt lol. The edamame dumplings is an absolute must! It's an umami flavored dish! We also got the eggplant dish, and it was really good! If you've been to elephante in Santa Monica, it kind of reminds me of that, but the eggplant is a little bit more dense, but really great flavors. You may have to order an extra eggplant dip, because the ratio isn't exactly favorable towards the eggplant. Got the kale salad with shrimp. The shrimp was cooked to perfection! Kale was pretty good, but asked for extra cheese. My husband was all about the burger and he claimed it was one of the best burgers he's ever had! He got an IPA beer and I got a watermelon mint Mojito. It was really good, but I think I will try the skinny margarita next time. The price is actually pretty reasonable for the clean /delicious food! We are most definitely coming back!

As far as decoration and space, I like the El Segundo location better. Also, the cocktails were well balanced and refreshing. Additionally, the staff from hostess to our server and busser were all amiable and professional. The downside was the food, which is the most important thing for the restaurant and determines if I will come back. I used to be so delighted at the flavors and creative little twists at Little Sister. However, the food these past two visits to Little Sister was basic at best. For example, we ordered the papaya salad and there was no flavors as in no dressing. We ordered the short ribs and the flavor was uneven and bland in 2/3rd of the meat and the noodles were also dry. Even their famous garlic noodle and crepe was too soggy and even bitter (overcooked ingredients). I was with good friends and with the cocktails, we still had a fun night but was very disappointed at the food has really gone down in the past few years. The sad thing is the quality of the ingredients was not the issue. Seems like the prep and execution has gotten lax and lazy and it really felt like the kitchen was phoning it in. I am still giving it a 3 stars instead of less stars to wish them improvement. The fried rice with prawns and imperial rolls still holds up. And due to their service staff, I cannot give them less. These days, it is hard for restaurants to get professional and decent staff so please appreciate them.

Plus, I had leftovers. The chef special came with more-than-a-little of everything. Each dish was unique and delicious. I was treated to a full spread of amazing Japanese cuisine. Sashimi was fresh, katsu was thick and juicy with a lightly breaded crust, eel was flavorful and soft, and the soba noodles were perfect. The restaurant is clean and beautifully laid out.

If you're like me and love Japanese food, this is a great way to sample a little bit of everything without having to order a bunch of separate dishes. Everything tasted fresh and the quality was excellent. The restaurant itself isn't very big, so it can get pretty busy. They do take reservations though, which I'd recommend if you're planning to come during dinner. Overall, I really enjoyed this special Gozen meal and would definitely come back. It was a fun experience and a great value for the variety and quality of food you get.

It was a busy day for Mul Naeng-Myeon but they conveniently had a couple tables for us. They can get busy, and there was a line forming as we were eating, so it is understandable if the service can seem a little pushy at times, and this comes out in very subtle ways (i.e. There's no AC, only a small fan. If they want you to leave, they'll position the fan away from you). Cold water is also only available upon request, as well as extra napkins. Otherwise, you'll be wiping your mouth with a one-ply napkin the whole time. The banchan was great. I especially loved the onions and perilla leaves. The kimchi tasted fresh and tangy, but the radishes were a bit too sweet and cut very clunky. The Naeng-Myeon was good; it tasted very heavily of sesame, and not much else. The meat was also pretty tough to chew. Very filling, but expensive for the amount of meat you get. Definitely made use of the vinegar and mustard, which they eventually took away to give to another table. I'm thinking I just ordered the wrong thing and came on the wrong day. I saw what other people ordered, and it looked delicious, always served with enthusiasm. Next time, I'll have what they're having.
