Their place is always clean, tables nice, bar top is never sticky and the taps are crispy, freaking cold and delicious. Today Dave was working and suggested a Twisted Tea, I took a sip.....I was going to be in trouble!!!! It was so freaking good (I had 2). Dave is always so awesome and he's attentive and personable. He's just great at what he does! I will definitely be back to see him and have some more Twisted Tea.

Good food and good vibes. They have some pretty good food at this joint. We got the:…read more - Loco Moco (I loved how juicy the meat patty was, this is my fave) - Assorted Tempura - Kalbi with Spam Fried Rice (Kalbi was good, but I really liked the Mac Potato Salad) - Spamasubi (meat was too thin and overall was dry) - Oxtail Soup (delicious on a cold night) The employees that work here are amazing and very nice. I appreciate them for letting us celebrate my sister's birthday cake in the restaurant since the bowling alley itself wouldn't let us. The staff was just above and beyond, and all the more reason to come back to this joint aside from the good food. Thank you to everyone that works here! Thank you Gardena Bowl!

I always come to this spot for the garlic chicken! Soooo good! When the cravings come, it's an easy…read moredrive from work. I've never had an issue eating here. The Asian lady that usually takes the order is wonderful. The older Latino gentleman is also great. Today, I ate here and there seems to be a new guy. Bigger, taller guy, with long hair that was in a tiny bun, and has a goatee. He wasn't the best. He took my order without taking any notes. Initially, I was kind of impressed as he just confidently nodded as I took my order. My main plate came, but the other things that I ordered didn't. I waited sound 5 mins to see if the kitchen was just backed up. So I asked him again, he said ok. I waited again and it still didn't come. He seemed to have been distracted with other tables and talking to everyone . So, I ended up asking the older Latino guy for it and the rest of my orders came out quickly. Then came to paying the bill and asking for a box and a bag. The exact same thing! I asked him a second time for the box and a bag. It never came. At one point, he even sat down on a seat with a person that seemed to be a buddy of his. All this while I was patiently waiting for the things I need so I can get back to work. That was a little frustrating. So, again, I reserved to asking the Latino older man, and he gave it to me right away. Give the older man a raise and a promotion. I hope the Asian lady didn't stop working here. She was great. Can't say the same thing about this new guy that I've never seen before.

Bar tables are very nice, newer, and felt is clean. Regular tables are a little older and a little dirty but they absolutely do the trick. They have a good variety of beer and seltzers. Food is okay! I love this place, I've been coming for years. I even recently threw my best friend a surprise birthday party here. I called ahead of time, I was told I couldn't reserve tables over the weekend but if I came in early they could try to accommodate us as it was a party of about 12 people. Shout out to Jo! She was awesome and actually was able to place us at two tables next to each other and in a nice corner so we could decorate even on a busy Saturday night. I wish they'd limit how many songs people can queue because over the weekend it can be 20-40 songs on TouchTunes and makes it hard for anyone else to get in. This place is the heart of Long Beach/Lakewood, what a gem!

We said ok and walked to our car at the same time some man was parking so we waited to see if he was going to the bar. He(Hispanic) got off the vehicle and went to the door and after about 2 minutes they opened the door and let him in. It's sad to know their are businesses like these.

Waiters kept checking on us. Got the mild Buffalo Wings for $14 and Parmesan Fries for $6. The wings were good. The Parmesan Fries were really good, they didn't skimped on the Parmesan. Both dishes were small and came with ranch sauce. Got place to watch the games with friends. Not the place to have a conversation. Happy Hour was Monday to Friday from 4pm to 7pm and 10pm to closing at midnight. Karaoke night was Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10pm to closing at midnight.

I had business in the same shopping center and decided to drop in for lunch…read more Torrance Tavern is restaurant bar located in a shopping center. Needless to say, there is plenty of parking. 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.
