I ordered a Philly Cheese Steak with pickles and although the size was decent, the meat tasted very salty like ground beef, not actually steak. Also the cheese to the meat ratio was definitely lacking. I was really looking forward to that sub and despite the fact that it did fill me up. Unfortunately every bite became more and more of a disappointment. With a name like Philly's Best, your restaurant can definitely do better in that department. Perhaps some of their other food choices on their menu are more desirable, but there was way too much salt my Cheese Steak Subs, so be advised. read more

Solid cheesesteak place. The bread was excellent; a decent amount of fillings, lots of cheese. ...crispy French fries without having to ask. Looking at the posters, lots of options. If my sandwich is any indication, I think they'll all be good. I ate it all before I could get a picture! This going to be my go to place when I'm in the area! read more

Phill's Best Cheesesteaks was a 10/10 for me. The steak was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, but what really made the sandwich was the bread. It was soft on the inside with just the right structure on the outside, so it held everything together without getting soggy. Every bite was balanced and satisfying. The cheese was melted throughout, the portions were generous, and it didn't feel overly greasy -- just done right. On top of that, the customer service was great. Friendly, welcoming, and efficient, which always makes the experience even better. When the food is that good and the service matches? Easy 10/10. I'll definitely be back. read more

Sometimes I drive here from San Pedro to get a cheesesteak they are legit and the mushroom cherry pepper steak sandwich is my favorite. My friend had the pizza steak and he absolutely freaked out and said it was the best he's had and he's lived in San Pedro his entire life he was pissed off that we had to drive to Torrance to get sandwiches. But sometimes driving for something just makes it taste better but when the quality and service is there it just makes it epic I've been back to this location about five times and I've never had anything negative to say about it. Give it a try if you like a legit Philly cheesesteak Also if there's a better one, let me know? read more

Didn't know they were located here! Decided to come here before they close! We had the Phillys best with extra grilled onions and also the pepperoni cheese steak! Both were mouth watering good. Cooked just right! Amazing customer service all the food is cooked as you order! I will be back soon read more

I'm not sure if I've reviewed Philly's Best before but I am now. This place is fantastic. It's almost a once a week thing for me for their CheeseStakes. And what really makes them great is the bread. Always always very soft and fresh. Thanks to all who work there. read more

One of the best Philly sandwiches I've had. Customer service was 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend

First time here the service was really good and the food was good definitely recommend this place

So I came to a tuna sub..... it was here or next door. I'm glad I came here. It was good.... Tuna was perfect maybe just maybe a tad bit more mayo but other than that. I'll be back when I'm In The area The service was quick and pleasant. She took our order with happiness and spoke to my inlaw in Spanish to make sure it was the way she wanted it. Thank you for the awesome service read more

Not sure what I wanted when I crossed through the door but I knew I was hungry. After looking at the menu I chose the chicken parmesan sandwich. I noticed that the gentleman put something in the fryer, after a few moments I asked him if that was for my sandwich he said yes it was the chicken. I told him I misunderstood the menu, I thought sandwich would be Philly chicken cheesesteak style not a deep fried chicken Parm. He was so kind, he said we'll make it anyway you want, so the young lady with pretty braids grilled the chicken, added marinara and provolone just as I thought it would be. I's the best damn sandwich I've had. Meat juicy with the marinara and melted cheese. Thank you both for such an enjoyable lunch sandwich. read more

Philly's Best - Chicken Parmesan sandwich but Philly cheesesteak style. - Burgers Near Me - Torrance, California

I went searching for a Philly cheesesteak while I was nearby at Costco. I found Philly's Best via Yelp and decided to give them a try. As I approached, I was concerned it was closed due to the construction in the front of the plaza. Thankfully, it was open. I went in and there were two other patrons inside. I perused the menu and placed my order with the friendly and attentive cashier, who also doubled up as the cook. I got the Philly with onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Everything tasted great and I was really impressed with this place overall. I enjoyed the laid back vibe of this place, as I felt I could enjoy my meal and relax without feeling rushed. Since my first visit, I have been back three times and don't plan to stop anytime soon. read more

We went into this shop and I'm not a big fan of cheesesteaks but when I got in there, Service was amazing food next level and they even gave us a free fries because they messed up on our order. Those are the restaurants I go back to. read more

IDK if there's a new cook there or what, but when I got my Classic cheesesteak the slices of cheese were placed cold from the refrigerator on the bun and topped with the steak--WTH?? I tried to explain what was wrong and the cook did not speak English so I had to ask him to bring out the man who took my order. I sure hope everyone else didn't get their sandwich that way. What a disappointment if you had gotten the order to go. The man needs more training. Yes I got a new sandwich the way it was supposed to be. read more

My go to is the Philly's Best sandwich. However, their Meatball sandwich is even better. read more

It was hubby's idea to check out Philly's Best. I'm not a Philly cheese steak fan, so I wasn't excited about it. There was no greeting when we entered, and there were these handmade written signs throughout the place. "Uber pick up," "Do not throw away trays," etc.. they just took away from the professionalism of the restaurant. Hubby went ahead and ordered his Philly, and I went with a burger and fries since I'm not a fan of Philly. It was actually not bad. Good tasting burger and fries. Hubby seemed to have enjoyed his sandwich as well. What really grossed me out though was the soda fountain. While getting a soda, I noticed how gross and disgusting it was. Not only just the drain but even the top of the fountain. It immediately was a turnoff, and I decided not to even get a soda. They need to do a better job at cleaning. Three people were working that day, two girls and a guy who looked like he was either the manager or owner. One could've walked around to clean the fountain and even the tables. Cleanliness is crucial for me, and for that, we will not be coming back. It makes me question their cleanliness practices for the restaurant as a whole. read more

This is one of my new favorite spots. Normally when I go in to order it's the owner there. The food is amazingly delicious and the service is always spot on. Highly recommend! read more

As long as you're not expecting the world! This place is a good spot to stop in for a cheesesteak sandwich. The prices for fries are a bit overpriced. It's either they add more fries to the serving or knock off a dollar. I wouldn't recommend eating here. It's not dirty but it's quiet. There aren't many people here beside the workers. read more

Best around, hands down. I'm no Philadelphia native or expert but I've tried lots of different places and not only is their meat done better but the bread is legit. And it's usually the bread that ruins it at all other places. Always look for an opportunity to go. Just wish there was one closer to me. read more

Food is great, service fantastic!!! Will be ordering for my crew again. Thank you!!!!!!!

Wow! This was amazing. I had the Philly's Best and my husband had the Italian sub. Both were delicious. Philly's Best used to have a location in Temecula we went to frequently. We were crushed when they closed. We were on our way to a Rams game when we spotted this location. Boy what sweet memories this brought back. Don't miss your opportunity for delicious food read more

Recently I had a sudden craving for something other than spicy chicken sandwiches and In-N-Out cheeseburgers, so I stopped by Philly's Best for a quick bite. I got here at 2 PM and the shop was completely empty. Everyone had masks on and my order was ready in 5 minutes; however, I asked for a mushroom cheesesteak and I got a regular cheesesteak instead. Menu: There are four categories - burgers ($3.50 to $4.99), hoagies ($7.99 each), chicken sandwiches ($6.99 to $8.99), and steak sandwiches ($7.99 to $9.98.) *** Cheese Steak (steak sandwich with melted white American cheese, $8.99 with grilled onion): The sandwich was pretty average - it felt like a sandwich you can easily make at home if you have the right tools. Let's just say my tummy wasn't 100% completely satisfied and had to get more snacks later. *** I just read some of recent Yelp reviews and apparently this location has a tendency of messing up customer's order (e.g. asking for no onion and then sandwich has onion, etc.), so just make sure to confirm your order by checking the receipt. 3-star on sandwich and bump down a star due to messing up my order. read more

Food was made fresh, crispy fries... the wait to order was a little longer than it should have been but the employee did apologize... there was a lot of pending orders. Ambiance was ok... some tables did need cleaning but I found one that was clean enough to sit at. It's been a while since I've been here but just came for a quick lunch break with my husband. read more

As an east coast transplant, this is a legit Philly Cheesesteak. Also consistently nice staff. Would give more than 5 stars if possible!

Excellent service and food. Highly recommended. Just chill and soak up the Philly vibes these taste just like the hoagies I used to buy with my friends at the corner store when we lived in North Philly! Dare I say maybe better... eeee Z! Those were the days and this be the food. Enjoy! read more

Philly's Best - We're Philadelphia, hold that head up! - Burgers Near Me - Torrance, California

Thanks to National Cheesesteak Day last month; I got to try Philly's Best for the first time for just $5.99! They had a special coupon offering either the original or the chicken cheesesteak for $5.99. The original price is $7.99. Philly's offers a variety of different cheesesteaks. You can even get a little creative and cheesesteak without cheese or get cheesesteak fries. I went with the classic and my mom got the chicken on our first visit. First thing I did notice was there wasn't as much meat in there as I've seen at other sandwich shops. It was ok but definitely not packed. Flavorwise the chicken was ok; but the original steak was my preference. Steak was tender and full of flavor! It is a classic cheesesteak for sure. I do wish it had a little bit meat in the sandwich but overall sandwich was ok. The service was good and the folks were friendly. For my first time here I thought it as not too bad for celebrating National Cheesesteak Day :). read more

Amazing and authentic! Try it with white American! Fries great wit wiz and tuna is a hit!

There's 2 workers here and they both do cooking so sometimes it feels like a long wait even though there is not much people here. I ended up getting a hoagie which cost $10.93. The ingredients tasted woefully average. read more

I saw the cheese sauce on IG & thought the food would be better. It was bland. Mushrooms tasted plain like out of a can. Cashier wearing a burka was so wrapped up in yak-yak-yak gossiping that she didn't notice a profane 1970s movie playing a jail rape scene on their TV. I told them. Plus they're all out of chips and said they would refund my online order but I'm skeptical. Place in Venice on Lincoln near Rose Ave is way better/ more flavorful. read more

Philly's Best - Got it with extra cheese. mushrooms were bland. Even with peppers the flavor didn't pop. - Burgers Near Me - Torrance, California

I ordered a mushroom cheesesteak, she ordered a turkey sandwich and we shared a basket of onion rings. Gotta say, my sammich was pretty damn tasty, especially the bread. Was a touch pricey for the two of us but we both left very satisfied and glad we stopped there instead of L&L next door. Hot sauce and seasoning were available to dress up your sammich how you want and the staff was very friendly and attentive for a few extras like pickles & jalapeños. I've never been to Philadelphia but seen Rocky tons of times so this tasted pretty legit as a real deal Philly. read more

Holy SHIT! NEVER AGAIN! I ordered only 2 reg philly cheesesteak sandwiches w some extra meat, and onions w reg white cheese, 3 fries, 3 onion rings & one 4 pk of Root Beer and my bill was $106.66? R u EFFING kidding me? For 2 lousy sandwiches w 2 hoagie rolls,onions, meat & cheap white am cheez? I'm in shock! My bro got this w my card on way home! I slapped him upside his head today!

We could have had 3 Full RED Lobster all u can eat shrimp dinners Mondays for $21.95 w 2 sides, 24 pieces of any shrimp u want(if carryout) & 2 cheddar biscuits w each meal for $60 something dollars & still had $40 or more left over!

I give it 6 mo if that! F them! read more

Great chicken hoagies and French fries with cheese on the side. It reminds me of the shops in Philly! Yum!!

If you're craving some philly cheese steaks, hit up this location. Within the plaza, it is hard to see at first since it's tucked away in the corner next to Subway and L&L Hawaiian BBQ. I ordered the Philly's Best and was pleasantly surprised by the tasty combination of Steak, Provolone Cheese, Sweet Peppers, and Mushrooms. The fries are crispy but leave a bad aftertaste because of the oil (I'm assuming the oil never gets changed). The cashier that assisted me was very nice; I believe his name was Parsa. Definitely worth coming back. read more

Yay!! Finally a closer Philly's best. Back in the day one of our friends would drive all the way to Fountain Valley to get Philly cheesesteaks LOL. The good ole days. Always wondered if he had a dummy strapped into the passenger seat to get him in the carpool lane, but somehow he always made it there and back with the sandwiches still pretty warm lol. But looks like this one is near the costco in Torrance, near crenshaw and lomita blvd. The bad? it's right next to subway, sorry subway lol. Philly's best makes philly cheesesteaks with ingredients flown in from Philly. Even the dessert tastykakes are from philly i think. What you should get is their cheesesteak of course, made with sauteed peppers and onions, with the white american cheeze. I know some places use wiz, but i'm not into that, the white american cheese is da best! Get them with a side of crispy onion rings and ranch dressing so delicious! The hoagie bun is delicious as well, just everything melds together perfectly. The menu actually expanded a lot, they had other sandwiches like an italian sub type, which you should get with mayo/mustard and the oil/vinegar on the side so it doesn't get mushy. They even make burgers and things like that now too. But get what they're famous for, the best cheeseteaks in the area. Now whatya waiting for??? Go get some cheesesteaks lol. read more

We visited the Torrance location for lunch. Ordinarily it's wonderful. The Asian couple who used to run it were great. However, lately we've noticed it's been hit and miss. Today was definitely a miss. We arrived before the lunch rush. There was only 2 other people in there; only 1 was eating Philly's Best. The other was eating Chick Fil 'A. We ordered 2 hoagies, a cheeseburger, order of fries & onion rings. Fries & onion rings were great. The cheeseburger was ok but the hoagies were awful. It was prepared wrong and the girl who was the cashier as well as the one who made it didn't know what she was doing. She drenched the rolls in the vinegar dressing, piled on the meat & cheese, 2 extremely thin slices of tomato's & old lettuce on top. By the time we got our sandwich's the bottom of my roll was mush & falling apart. It was so wet the roll split in two. I brought it back to the counter and asked for another roll. I watched her remake it and she literally poured the dressing on the roll until it was soaked. She used the same meat & toppings from the original sandwich. Then she proceeded to pour more dressing so I told her to stop. It was tasteless & I threw it away. 3 weeks earlier I ordered the same. It was take away & it was delicious when it got home. Sad to see a favorite restaurant that we drive 30 minutes out of our way to fail. This person should NOT be making a hoagie. read more

I found my new favorite Philly cheese sandwich place. I've been craving philly cheese sandwich and after my favorite place has closed down, I was in search for a new one. This one has fresh ingredients, (no soggy veggies) and it was so juicy and tasteful. The staff was very friendly and took time to explain the popular menu. I brought few for my kids who ended up eating them cold after few hours and they still loved it. I would definitely go back. read more
