Went on a solo date first time here and it was so good ! 10/10 recommend ! Staff is nice as well !

Combo kebab entree tasted amazing
Jack H.

I was in the area and wanted something that hits close to home. So I stopped by Pita Cafe. I've never eaten there but heard great things about it, so I gave it a shot. Staff was extremely kind and courteous. The food was made fresh (you can taste the freshness), and the food was absolutely delicious. Their chicken kebab was extremely flavorful? Their beef kebab was tender and juice, and their koobideh was made exactly the way koobideh is supposed to be made. It's a cute small spot with great service and delicious food. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that's in the area , especially if you haven't tried it yet!

Family Kabob Feast 4 sticks only
Abelardo N.

You get only 4 meat sticks for 70 bucks in family kabob feast. Not really much of a bargain, since you could have literally bought a combo with 2 sticks, 3 times for 20 bucks each. In effect 60 bucks for 6 sticks. Not sure who thought of this feast. But they need to work on adding value to it. Most feasts are a deal relative to a combo. Not the other way around. Food is good though. No free garlic sauce came with it. But yea there are better deals out there in other Mediterranean spots

BEST CHICKEN KUBIDEH EVER !!! The chicken skewers and the Basmati rice were perfectly moist. No tea unless you order it, no fancy table cloths, just great food. You order at the register, and the server brings it to you. 1 kubideh/rice/pita/salad $16.99 2 kubideh/rice/pita/salad $18.99

Lamb Gyro entree
Jimmy S.

I tried this nearby local place. I like the portions of the food they give. I got the lamb gyro plate and they gave me 3 different sauces to try along with the garlic sauce. The hummus was pretty good. The staff was very nice and helpful. The lamb gyro was tender and flavorful. There's parking in the back available if the streets are too busy.

Beef & chicken koubadeh
jeannette h.

Always wanted to try here. It's been closed for a while, then opened probably a few weeks or months ago, and finally got the chance since we were in the neighborhood. Place is clean, staff is very friendly and nice. Service was excellent and food came out quickly. Everything looked and tasted fresh. My chicken kabobs were tasty, veggies were fresh and hummus was great. I love their freshly grilled pita breads that had a slight crunch that I love. My kids loved their lamb gyro plate and hubby also enjoyed his beef and chicken koubadeh. Their garlic sauce also adds extra flavor to your meats if you choose. It was a little pricey, but food portions were pretty big. I'd come back here again. Great place to come if you are in the mood for something healthy, fresh and delish!

This place was awesome . Super clean friendly service. Made some suggestions.  I had a wrap. Fresh. And juicy  . Big parking lot in back .

I had no idea there was a Carlos Jr inside the Mitsuwa Del Amo food court…read more I enjoy going to the restaurant in Torrance but sometimes there is a wait that might be a little longer than needed. During one of our family trips we needed to kill some time in the Torrance area. We arrived early to have some lunch at the food court and BAMN, Carlos is here.

Unfortunately, this location does not compare to their actual Torrance location, and the customer service is a big reason why. We arrived at approximately 7:50 PM, before their advertised 8 PM closing time, intending to place an order. We were already at the kiosk lineand waiting behind 2 people making a kiosk order when a female Hispanic employee shouted over the counter and told us they were closed once we got to the register kiosk. What makes this even more ridiculous is that she didn't tell us until we were already at the kiosk, wasting our time when we could have been informed as soon as we walked in to wait back of the lady in front of us. On top of that the lady was rude AF about it. When I asked her what time do they close because it's not 8 o clock yet? She just said no, we are closed and then walked away. Why were they able to place an order at the kiosk but say they're closed? So which is it? Are you closed, or are you still taking orders? Why turn customers away 5-10 minutes before your advertised 8PM closing time when other customers are apparently still allowed to order? If your posted closing time is 8 PM, then you should be honoring that time and providing consistent service to customers who arrive before closing. Why would you turn away a paying customer? It's incredibly off putting to experience this kind of treatment, especially from a business we genuinely enjoy and actually come to often. Unfortunately, this experience has left a bad impression. We shouldn't have to guess whether we'll actually be served when we arrive before your posted closing time. Do better.

I'm a bit confused why this place was highly recommended by many when it's not that great…read more The service is really not as friendly as many have mentioned here. Lady didn't seem too happy working there and the place is definitely not kid-friendly. They only had one high chair. She saw us carrying a child when we came in and didn't even ask if we needed a highchair. She didn't even give us a cup of water for the child, nor did she give any utensils like plastic forks, spoons or even a small bowl. I don't know if I'm expecting too much but this is automatically provided at other restaurants I've been to. Got the tsukemen and honestly it's the worst I've had in my life. The chasiu pork is overcooked, yet not overcooked at the same time- if that even makes sense. It wasn't braised enough and the fatty parts weren't even melt in your mouth- it was chewy and extremely difficult to break apart. It also seemed like they just reheated it too much and the edges were curled up. It was also very porky tasting. The noodles weren't exactly cooked properly either- some of the noodles were still undercooked. The egg is really embarrassing to look at. It's a fully cooked egg, not soft-boiled. The dipping sauce was extremely disappointing out of all the tsukemen I've had. It's watery. All the ones I've had are thick broths. They give complimentary green tea ice cream in a small sauce cup but the ice cream is already full of frostbite. It's also super sweet and I can't even tell it's green tea ice cream. Super empty on a weekday- not really understanding why it's highly recommended by others.

I…read morewas torn between a nearby burger and hot dog spot and this place, but with the rainy weather, a warm bowl of Khao Soi sounded perfect! I had seen several pictures of it on Yelp, and it looked too good to pass up. Funny enough, I've been to the Thai restaurant nearby several times but never paid much attention to Sweet Rice. I always assumed they only served breakfast and desserts based on the name. Clearly, I was missing out! I ordered the Khao Soi with chicken, and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. That coconut curry combination was everything! The noodles, onions, and all the different textures worked so well together. I especially loved the crispy wonton strips on top, which added the perfect crunch. Every bite was so comforting and flavorful. This is definitely a dish I would come back for! I also ordered a Thai iced tea, which I really enjoyed. It was a little on the sweet side for my preference, so next time I would probably request a little extra cream to balance it out. The restaurant itself was clean, cozy, and inviting. I decided to dine inside, put my earbuds in, and enjoy an episode of Netflix while eating my soup. It was honestly such a relaxing little lunch. The service was excellent! The cashier was incredibly sweet and attentive, checking on me throughout my visit to make sure everything was okay. Overall, I'm so glad I decided to give Sweet Rice a try. Great food, wonderful service, and a cozy atmosphere. That Khao Soi alone is worth coming back for. Definitely a spot I'll be visiting again!

Most Thai restaurants make it way too spicy for me, but this one has just the right amount of kick while still being enjoyable. I could happily come back just for this dish alone. I also love that their Thai omelette comes with rice, making it a hearty and filling entree. We also ordered the Panang Curry, mild, and absolutely loved it. The kabocha squash in the curry was a highlight, and the whole dish was so delicious! Sweet Rice's menu focuses mostly on curries, soups, and porridge. If you're craving the usual stir-fried Thai dishes, you can find those next door at Thai Bowl, which is the same owner. Sweet Rice has become my new favorite Thai spot in the South Bay. It's located in the same plaza as Tokyo Central, with plenty of parking in the lot. Definitely worth checking out if you love Thai food.

Grocery shopping always seems to make me hungry anyway, so it's nice having a food option right there. One tip: I'd grab a drink from inside H Mart before ordering at Hansol, since there a lot of cool and different drink options in the grocery section. I usually get the pork cutlet, which comes with two pork cutlets, rice, several sides, a small broth, and a salad. It's a really good-sized meal and something I always enjoy getting. The pork katsu is crunchy on the outside while still being juicy inside, and the sauce has a refreshing flavor that pairs really well with it. The sides complement the meal nicely, and they also give you some fruit. I like saving that for the end since it's a refreshing way to end the meal. Ordering is pretty straightforward: just go up to the cashier and give them the letter and number for the item you want. I also like that there's a picture for each menu item, so you can easily see what you're ordering. The seating area is basically a food court, so the ambiance isn't anything special, but there are plenty of seats, which is nice. I always look forward to coming to this H Mart knowing I can also get a great meal if I'm hungry after shopping. It's definitely one of those convenient spots that makes the grocery trip even better.

You order your food, find yourself a table, and they call your number when your order is ready. Nothing fancy in terms of atmosphere but a busy H Mart food-court setting for that is tasty, comforting, and worth the wait. I'd definitely come back, especially when I'm craving a hot bowl of Korean soup!
