I was a little skeptical at first since they use an older system where you select songs using a large tablet style remote instead of a modern digital interface. Also, don't expect the music videos to match your song choices. Many aren't the official versions and sometimes random clips, often K-pop, will play instead. A big plus is that our room had a fan, so it didn't feel stuffy and the temperature was comfortable the whole time. We were also able to get a room right away on a Friday at 7 pm, which was great. Some songs I wanted weren't available, like "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield, "Stop and Stare" by OneRepublic, and "E.T." by Katy Perry, along with a few others I expected to find. I just moved on when something wasn't there. I will go back.

Plenty of space to sing & dance, and we did just that and had so much fun in our private room! Lots of laughs throughout the night! Check-In: Be sure to arrive just a few minutes before, as you can't go into the rooms any earlier! Our private room was booked from 9 to 11 PM! Medium Sized Room: Plenty of space, cozy plush seating, two music catalogs, microphones with covers, a large table, air conditioning, sound was awesome, there were tambourines, a large screen on the wall & a smaller screen on the other side of the room! Lighting: The lighting was fun and colorful! Catalog: There were a variety of fun songs listed! I would love to see the catalog expanded with more songs; even more fun! As an option, the keypad was also in English! Customer Service: The guy at the front desk was nice, as he showed us around! Parking: Free & plentiful! Overall: Yes, I would easily go to this location again! We had even more energy at the end of the night, because the experience was so much fun! All-around good vibes! Thanks again!

This place is obviously a Karaoke bar with private karaoke rooms, but we always go for the darts so…read morecan't comment on the quality of the rooms. There are three reasons this place more than deserves the five stars. First, the drinks. They have a plethora of the actual cocktails you would see in japan. Suzume Kohaku AND Tomino Hozan? Oolong Highballs? Half bottles of Kubota? YES PLEASE. If you used to be a regular at any bar in Shinjuku's hidden but legendary Golden Gai district, this will feel like a taste of home. Also, there's a full bar menu with Karaage, Yam salad, and Mentaiko pasta? Are you kidding me? Second, the food. Not only do they have great bar food up with the best Japanese night life spots in LA, you can ALSO order in a bowl of ramen off the EXTRA FULL MENU from the ramen restaurant next door. AND, about the ramen. Every 2 years a friend and I travel all over Japan and rank the best ramen to compare with America. Josui (the ramen shop nextdoor to Astro) is definitely up there with Kyushu Jangara, Tanaka Shoten, Sumire, and dare I say Kozo Mata Omaeka. Especially their Miso ramen. The flavor is phenomenal, the oil level is on point, the noodles are perfectly cooked, the chashu is melt in your mouth, ANNDDD it comes HoT HOT HOT because the bar and the restaurant share the same kitchen. However, one should be careful with the spice as they do use habanero peppers for their spice. It's the only downside as I love spice but me and many others are not a fan of the habanero family/flavor. Ie, if you're going for Josui Ramen, you might as well goto Astro and get a better selection, but bring your own Rayu or Shichimi Togarashi. Third. The darts. Most people think of darts at bars as these beat up corkboard darts with bent tails. And for the most part, you are correct. But If you're familiar with the world of darts, you know about the Phoenix Machines. And they have the latest ones. These are THE proper tournament level dart boards connected to an entire worldwide online community. Everyone who is serious about darts has an account on these machines. Playing solo? Log in with your ID and get connected with a player at a pool hall in Tokyo. Looking for local players? link up with someone in LA Ktown. Heading to Korea? bring your account card with you and link up to a Phoenix machine at Dart Prince in Gangnam. Also don't be surprised if the groups in the lanes to the left and right of you at Astro brought their own set of professional darts. I do not want to post this because Astro has been a locals secret for a number of years, has a strong community of Tokyo transplants (expect to hear a LOT of Japanese) and I like having a machine available on our date nights. But I have NO idea why right now it's only 4 stars so gotta give them some love. Y'all missing out. Full transparency, if it starts to get too crowded there, I'm taking this review down. See you on the boards.

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.

Known as a steakhouse the prime ribs looked really mouth watering...even for myself who doesn't eat meat....I had the Salmon Filet and it was actually cooked really well and I would definitely get it again.... Service was pretty good even though the place as busy they were able to help us out the majority of the time.... Everything came out good for the whole party and no complaints about the food at all... The restaurant itself is old and the inside shows it....but that is part of the classic ambiance at the restaurant.... It is difficult to maneuver through and they utilized the space inside very well...I thought it was a small restaurant looking a it from the outside but it actually can hold a good amount of people. Maybe get better bread knives is my only complaint....it was hard to cut the sourdough easily with the knives given.... Definitely recommend this place to anybody who likes steak/prime rib/even salmon.... By the way I passed it on the first drive by because the parking entrance is just before the restaurant and 1 way meaning if a car is coming out you can't fit another car to come in....but if you go around the residential area you can pull in from the side street before going back on Sepulveda...

2026 San Franciscan…read moreis still my go to spot for Prime Rib. It's not a lame roast beef that many restaurants play off as prime rib. This is basically a high quality oven roasted rib eye steak. If you crave Prime Rib, what makes this a good meal is it comes with bread, soup and a baked potato and the cut comes in 3 sizes to choose from. The service is friendly and fast and this is family styled, no dress code nor any frills of ambiance. It's like a bar lounge with karaoke in the front and formal (casual) dining in the back Parking is easy, but remember this... If driving down Sepulveda and the Sam Franciscan is going to be on your right side... then the parking lot you want to pull into is on your right side BEFORE the San Franciscan yellow sign. If you pass it and pull into the next lot, it locks you in and does not connect to the restaurant and you'll then need to turn around pull out then get back onto Sepulveda, turn right onto Crenshaw and then reach the San Franciscan parking lot from the back or if confused you get back onto Sepulveda from there and try to park again and not miss the correct parking position of their parking lot.

Artesia Bar, your Redondo Beach must!…read more This South Bay gem located on the street it's named after on Artesia Blvd has no private parking, but surprisingly a good amount of street parking and is open 7 days a week from 6:00 PM - 2:00 AM, 7PM on Mondays. Happy Hour all night on Mondays only as well as until Until 8 PM all those other days in a full week (Tuesday through Sunday). They have karaoke nights, drag shows, drag bingo, game/trivia nights, leather nights, special events like the one I attended, plus more! Bar seating, table seating (tall tables) and patio seating with some great lighting. TVs, KJs and DJs, cool sound system and gender neutral restrooms. The only queer bar in all of Los Angeles Counties, South Bay area and it's a good one! Love the bar staff we met including my pal Nick (one of the KJs), Erick (crazy kind and handsome bartender) and Miss Georgia Line (one of the incredible owners and performers). Drinks are delicious and reasonable. They also have snacks like chips or candy for sale. Artesia Bar is local to a lot, including a few walkable eateries for a bigger meal before, after or returning to the bar. The crowd shifts as the night goes on, more people trickling in after 9pm and beyond. I did come here once many years ago before newer ownership (2024 to present), but it didn't leave quite the impression like it has in more recent times. Great place to celebrate the start of pride season. All inclusive, that includes allies! If you'd like to inquire about events or book an event you can email them at ArtesiaBar.RB@gmail.com. Frequent updates on their social media, Facebook and Instagram. Sashay in to this fun time den.

Bar 104 (ten four) is closer to a Japanese style Hostess Bar which caters to single men or group of…read moremen. This is a place where men can come to make small social talk, unwind and be entertained by the bar ladies who will make jokes, tell funny stories, up men's egos to create a welcoming environment. All the male guest must do is to buy the ladies a drink which for our group of 4 ran to $16 or $4/person. Maybe the ladies took pity on us since we didn't look like HUGE BALLERS. Women are welcome, but most will find it boring since this kind of business does not specifically meet the needs of heterosexual women. Ladies who come with their boyfriends or husbands may feel that the bar hostesses are trying to steal their man although that is probably not the case since it is the function of the hostesses to please their male customers. We sat & drank around the bar where the hostesses seem to hover around the most. I noticed that the guests on sofas away from the bar are left more alone to congregate with their own group. So if you want to party in with your own posse, this may be a better space. Seating at the bar is $10 cover while the sofas are $20 per person. There is Karaokè (kah rah oh keh) with Japanese and English language songs. We sang a few to while away our stay when we took a break from talking with the hotesses who circulate from time to time to different guests. Bar 104 may be of more interest to people who enjoy Japanese language, culture, "traditional hostess bar environment", or are at least open to international, cultural influences. If you can't suspend American mores, political correctness, my way or the highway approach, 104 may not be for you since 104 seems to be an enclave that follows the beat of a different drummer. I found 104 to be a fun night out with the boys. The hostesses were cordial, fun, tastefully catering to our needs at the same time exacting a reasonable fee. Shōchū/Japanese low octane "vodka", Sakè (sah keh), Beer, Wine available. Fair trade, fair exchange. 4 Yelp stars.

FORMERLY known as Southland Bar, the very-recent new ownership renamed to The Alley Bar. The name…read morewasn't the only thing that changed, and it wasn't for the better. With new ownership comes an affiliated new crowd coinciding w/ old crowd. You could cut the tension in the air w/ someone's pocket knife because you just felt at least one person was packing. I never felt the need to look over my shoulder regularly thru the night til now. Territorial is an understatement. It could be your first visit, and you could tell two different groups were there. Service was disappointing. A customer is a customer, but I noticed new ownership neglected old crowd to tend to her crowd or anything else to keep her "busy." Meanwhile, original bartenders were bending over backwards for everybody. We, in the old crowd, are familiar enough w/ each other for some small talk at the bar while waiting for drinks. They were as confused and shocked as I was about the service. I don't even want to mention what I saw in owner/staff interactions, but I'ma just leave it at sad. It was just sad. I'm not a regular regular, but Southland was the spot for my friends and me when we wanted a night out together for past couple years. Now, we're back to bar-hopping for a new spot because The Alley Bar ain't it. I'd give her benefit-of-the-doubt because she just picked up the place, but benefit would imply I saw an effort in keeping old crowd loyal while inviting new life, too--yeah, no benefit here. R.I.P.
