My family ate at Rabano's on 12/21/25. I ordered the Southwestern Chicken Salad, and my 3‑year‑old daughter had the Little Bamba. We ate half of our meals that day and finished the leftovers on the 23rd. On Christmas Eve morning, I woke up violently ill. I spent the next several days isolated in a bedroom, unable to keep anything down, constantly vomiting, and dealing with severe gastrointestinal symptoms. It was the sickest I have ever felt in my life with severe nausea. At the same time, my 3‑year‑old daughter suddenly spiked a 103.5° fever and developed diarrhea. My husband had to rush her to urgent care, and from there she was sent to the ER so she could receive fluids. Watching my child go through that was terrifying. After a week of not improving, I went to urgent care and tested positive for Salmonella poisoning. My daughter also tested positive while she was hospitalized. We are both still dealing with symptoms. I am going on a second strong course of antibiotics today. After my test result was reported, the LA County Department of Public Health contacted me. They told me that another woman in Redondo Beach, who had eaten the same salad on 12/22, also tested positive for Salmonella and had been hospitalized for several days. I later spoke with her and her family, and hearing her story was heartbreaking. LA County has opened an investigation, and I am cooperating fully. I'm sharing what happened to us in hopes that it helps others stay aware and safe. read more

Insanely good fast casual! I love that there is a huge selection for a variety of dietary preferences. I had no problem finding something gluten free & dairy free. The El Koreano bowl was so delicious and flavorful. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend the strawberry matcha, a wonderful spring/summer twist. read more

No matter when, I ALWAYS have to order their meiling's chicken salad every visit. Their dressing is just so tangy and full of flavor, emphasizing the mix of fresh greens and generous amount of chicken. The mandarin oranges are a great touch as not all places with any asian/chinese chicken salad do it. It adds a nice contrast with its usual sweetness. I prefer it with extra wonton crunchies for the texture variety. The portion is great as well. This has been a favorite of mine since they first opened. read more

Another stellar meal. Rainy night, great service and excellent food. Edamame wontons, Thai chicken, and the Kabobs Mediterraneo. Plus the most PERFECT jasmine milk tea ever. Thank you Valentina for your outstanding customer service. read more

Rabano - Veggie Burger + Side Salad - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

One of my favorite fresh, local spots to eat! The salads are always amazing--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The bowls are hearty without being heavy, and the drinks are light, refreshing, and perfect for a sunny day. Everything here really hits the spot. It has a cool beach vibe with that laid-back California flair. Seating is limited, so it's more of a grab-and-go kind of place, but the quality more than makes up for it. Staff is always friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Quick and easy dinner here! I tried the Insalata Mediterranea which I thought was quite good. It probably won't blow you away as the most amazing salad you've ever eaten but it was fresh and the dressing had a wonderful flavor to it. There was a lot of goat cheese in mine but I liked it! The chickpeas and tomatoes were a great addition as well. And I was surprised I got full from just this salad. Mom got the teriyaki chicken which she also enjoyed and the kids portion was plenty big for her. Simple, healthy, and good tasting food. I'd eat here again and maybe try one of their sandwiches next time. read more

It's been a while since we've eaten here but it certainly doesn't disappoint. I had the salmon bowl and husband had the shrimp tacos. His tacos were full of shrimp and he loved them. My bowl had a big piece of salmon with a green sauce,grilled veggies and ancient grains. It was delicious. Many tasty choices on the menu and we will return. Highly recommend. read more

This was one of the best meals I've had in my life...and I've been to several restaurants of all types. The Turkey burger with egg with its unique combination of toppings was remarkably flavorful (i skipped the house cranberry bbq sauce on the burger but tried it and it was superb). I couldn't be happier to have walked by and stopped in for the most delicious lunch! read more

I tried this place for lunch recently. It's a small, Asian/Cuban fusion spot that serves healthy bowls, plates, and sandwiches. There aren't too many tables inside so I wouldn't recommend for large groups. It's better for takeout. There were so many delicious-sounding options to choose from. I finally decided on the Pork Belly Banh Mi sandwich which was similar to and better than the Mendocino Farms one. The portions were huge (I couldn't even finish my sandwich which rarely happens LOL) and they were very generous with the pork belly. It came with a small side salad. Overall delicious, well balanced, and made fresh! I definitely want to come back and try their bowls soon. FYI their bathroom is located outside around the corner. Ask the worker for the password to key in to the bathroom. read more

The good: I loved being able to self-order from a kiosk. I had the green cucumber juice, chicken and rice wrap with kimchi, the grilled chicken and wild rice dish, fried wontons and the hamburger with fries. I loved how flavorful everything was and how colorful it was. All of the varying sauces and fresh vegetables were excellent. I definitely want to come again. My husband was really surprised by how delicious everything was. His favorite dish was the wild rice Mediterranean dish. I liked that the juice wasn't too sweet. The bad: There's no outdoor dining space. The inside dining space is small. The largest table fit 4 people. I wish the space was bigger. The interesting: Rabano means radish in Spanish. I didn't have any radish in the dishes I ordered. read more

Solid food! The VIP poke bowl I got tasted fresh, flavorful, and delicious. It's interesting that Rabano is a fusion Asian-Cuban-Peruvian restaurant, and it offers so many different dishes, all with a healthy spin on them. I'd be interested in trying more out! read more

This review is based off delivery but dine in soon. Korean Mexican fusion I was impressed with selections I chose. Fried wonton edamame, tofu tacos, and matcha oatmilk tea. The fried edamame wontons was a surprise. I usually can't digest edamame but how they made it was tolerable, light, and crispy. The tofu tacos were tasty but the chipotle sauce was a bit bland. The salsa tasted fresh and leveled. The matcha was good but I think it was too sweet despite 75% less sweet option, next time I'll op-out of any sweetening but still worth drinking. You can customize your orders which is brilliant for any diets. I will try more options soon! read more

Have not been back for a while. Like their new menu. More burger choices and fries. While food prices have gone up everywhere their prices seem fair for the quality and serving sizes. Enjoyed a burger and Cuban. Nicely cooked and portion size of meats was generous. Nice staff too. read more

Food okay but beware of false pricing. Example: menus (both yelp and posted in the restaurant) say Gogi Tacos are 9.50 but I was charged 15 and was told "the menus are wrong". No apology or attempt to correct the discrepancy. Over 50% more than the advertised price! Uncool. I would not have known if I had a larger order but this was my only item. Used to come here frequently, and even used the restaurant for fundraisers, but no longer. read more

Everything's amazing, but just recently had the "wow me burger" and was blown away by how good it was. Probably one of the best burgers I've had, no joke read more

While I appreciate the owner's response, it doesn't address that they apparently removed grass fed beef from the majority of the menu. If you look closely at the beef descriptions, on all but one item has changed from "grass fed" to "certified angus." Only the burger continues to say "grass fed " which means the owner's statement that they always have and still do serve it, is technically true.... But misleading. Why change /lower the other beef descriptions to "certified angus" if it's actually grass fed (which is considered healthier and higher quality)? If I'm wrong I'm happy to change my review, but it seems like they are playing with semantics. I do appreciate them labeling "certified angus" if that's accurate though. Otherwise I'd love them to clarify why they changed the description of most of their beef? read more

This location is much smaller than the Santa Monica location but the taste is (almost) the same! I got the same dish in Santa Monica as well but the Hermosa Beach location had drier pork. I guess it was just a bad day for pork but it was still good! I live quite far from both locations so I was still very happy to eat it again. I wish one would open up near me! read more

I've gotten sick a few times eating here. Won't ever go back. Just skip it and get a donut next door.

‼URGENT PLEASE READ BEFORE EATING HERE‼ I'm a college student home on break, and this restaurant completely ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing and much-needed time off. On Saturday, 12/20, I ate the Southwestern Chicken Salad from this restaurant. On 12/23, I began experiencing a fever and severe body aches, which I initially assumed were the flu. By 12/25, my symptoms had worsened significantly, and I was in extreme pain and unable to keep down even a sip of water. I was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with Salmonella. The doctors were very concerned about the severity of my condition, especially given that I am a healthy teenage girl with no underlying health issues. I was hospitalized for five days where I lost an immense amount of weight. More than two weeks later, I am still recovering and have not fully returned to normal. I am confident the salad was the source of the illness, as it was the only item I ate that no one else in my family did. Additionally, another woman and her daughter contracted the same illness after eating the same salad just one day after I did. After sharing my experience on Nextdoor, I also learned that many others have reported poor experiences at this restaurant, often related to overlooked food safety and preparation practices. The health department has been notified and is launching an investigation. DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT NEGLIGENCE TO FOOD SAFETY read more

Food wasn't that good, wait was very long, and even after leaving a 25% tip service was unhelpful and talking badly about other customers. The got shrimp tacos, classic burrito with steak and another pork belly burro. It just didn't taste very good. Those 3 dishes with no drinks cost me a cents under $60.00 If you end up here, you should know that you can get salsa with chips or salad with most meals, in my case I wasn't asked and got this dinky bag of chips and very small container for salsa with every entree. I wish I had known about the salad instead. If you're just looking for a burro then it's not bad, but it's not going to blow you away. read more

Legit impressed by this spot. Tried a bowl with pork belly when on my "health kick" Tried the wow me burger today and legit I did say WOW by the end of it lol Sooo good The bbq and all the flavors didn't outdo one another and it was a flavor explosion in my mouth (not to be vulgar) but OH MY GAWD I definitely recommend this spot. Tried the lemonade with raspberry last time, tried the cucumber this time which I expected to be nasty but I actually chugged it (I was thirsty and it was tasty lol) Legit great food great pricing great staff and great quality ingredients. The inside and outside make for a nice date option as well. Parking is plenty and my belly is happy read more

Love the showtime burger here. This is a go to take out staple in our household. I get it with a turkey patty. But the rest of the family gets the grass fed beef. But either way it tastes pretty clean for a burger but still juicy and delicious. French fries are good and can be eaten even if they are not hot. The soups and bowls are great from here too. I've had the the salmon, Thai curry, Mediterranean and Korean bowls and they are all good. Salmon is actually pretty high quality. All the food is fresh and seems healthy. I just wish they had a "healthy" desert. LOL... read more

Rabano is a solid spot that serves up some really delicious fusion of cuisine that's hard to get elsewhere. We're a huge fan of the El Koreano bowls and the Saltados. The flavors are great and it's almost the standard for us. The option to change the base from white rice to ancient grain is also a nice touch as well! My sister loves the Pork Belly Knockout but some reason it's just not for me. A bit too sweet for my taste! Another item that I've been getting recently are their burritos, especially the California. Nothing will ever come close to San Diego's California burritos but Rabano has a solid one! Edamame wontons, sounds weird but it works. Sweet potato fries are a good option as well, but not a fan of either of their other fries. I also really like their Jasmine Milk Tea. I get it at 25% sugar with half & half (there's other milk options), and it is a solid solid milk tea. Dining in can be really hectic since the space is not that big. Wait times for food can be very sporadic as well. read more

After a beach stop, we were super hungry and searched Yelp to find this spot. The most convenient thing was the parking; we literally parked and went right in. You can order food either at a self-serve kiosk or with the cashier. All the tables were occupied, with customers constantly walking in to get their orders. The food was absolutely fresh and delicious. We wanted to order Japanese coffee at the end, but they were all out--maybe next time. The restaurant was busy, but the noise level was average. read more

I ordered Meiling's Chinese Salad and subbed the chicken with tofu since I am vegan. The salad dressing was very good. I'll definitely come back and get this again. On a previous occasion, I ordered the vegan tacos which I liked. Overall this place is vegan friendly and has good vegan options. read more

Been going there since they opened. Used to go once a week. Now, less frequently. The quality has been inconsistent. Lately the salmon has been overcooked. They prepare your order as soon as they receive it, regardless of when you say you'll pick it up. Ergo, the order is cold. read more

I eat plant-based and I was excited to see vegan options on the menu. However on closer inspection, the way to make things vegan was to remove main ingredients, which was a bummer. Otherwise it seemed like a cool place and the bowls looked good, but unfortunately I got the Cuban Sandwich. I selected tofu instead of ham, and opted out of the cheese and corn. It should have still come with mustard, IIRC. I had to wait 20 minutes longer for my food than my friends, and when I opened it up, it was cold and soggy. Worst of all, they had put tofu AND HAM on my sandwich and nothing else except onions. I discarded the half of the sandwich that had ham, and tried to eat the other half. It was the soggiest, most disgusting sandwich I have ever eaten. It was completely lacking in anything remotely resembling flavor. Unfortunately we had taken our food to go and I couldn't discuss it in person. Terrible experience. read more
