    Kids Pizza
    Jynelle Christine S.

    Went here for the first time and it was very surprising! I wasn't sure what to expect from this Asian fusion restaurant since they're usually hit or miss, but this one was definitely a hit! To start off, the portion sizes are HUGE. We got the branzino which was literally enough for all 4 of us and we even had some leftover. The bibimbap was also huge and came in a sizzling pan so the rice got nice and crispy! Lastly, even the kids pizza was huge and honestly so good-it tasted like it came from a wood fired oven rather than just an industrial oven. There's plenty of seating here as well and it's nice that outside there's a cute little play area for the kids. Definitely a nice place to come with family :)

    Great value happy hour 4-530 daily. Tasty & only $10 - empanadas, Korean bulgogi beef tacos, fried calamari, chicken sliders! Complimentary Brazilian cheese bread. Yum. The happy hour margarita was weak. Service was ok. But given the tasty food, great price and pleasant ambiance, I'd still recommend this place & rate it 5 stars Side note - I returned the next morning bc on weekends, they have an incredible Korean bagel pop up. Omgosh. Delish. So light and soft inside with a perfectly and delicately outer crisp. Addicted.

    **Bagel review only** Holy smokes. They got a bagel pop-up going on select weekends, you need to order a day ahead. The bagels are so freaking good. They are Korean style - soft AF, sweeter schmear. The garlic stuffed bagel was the headliner for sure. The lox bagel was fine but definitely not in the wheelhouse. It was good just not stacked and the primo fixins you'd want. Hot tip check it!

    Pre ordered via Instagram DM (I believe they changed the ordering system after this weekend) The Korean cheese bagel wasn't our favorite. The jalepeno cheddar bagel with the scallion cream cheese was amazing! Service was very friendly and we enjoyed them on the patio. Would come back for the scallion cream cheese!

    Food: Sugo Social started us off with a complimentary appetizer, and honestly, it was a pleasant surprise, warm, tasty, and especially good with the accompanying sauce. For mains, the Seafood Pan Roast was the standout: savory, hearty, and comforting, with snow crab, shrimp, and prawns over jasmine rice. The Shrimp Miso Pasta came with thick, chewy noodles and a rich miso‑based sauce, plus prawns, bacon, and mushrooms, flavorful and satisfying without being overpowering. The Yuzu Highball was refreshing, citrusy, and light, exactly the kind of cocktail you want with richer dishes. It wasn't the best meal of my life, but everything was solid, well‑executed, and enjoyable. Price: Sugo Social leans toward the pricier side for the South Bay, with many signature dishes hovering around the high‑$20s. The Seafood Pan Roast at $28 and the Shrimp Miso Pasta at $28 reflect that higher-end positioning, but the portions and ingredients help justify it. Drinks and cocktails (including the Yuzu Highball) aren't listed with prices online, but expect typical upscale lounge pricing. Overall, it's not cheap, but fair for a date-night restaurant with elevated Korean‑Italian fusion flair. Ambiance: Nighttime is where Sugo Social shines. The decor leans upscale, warm lighting, stylish interior, and a modern, high‑class feel without being pretentious. It's the kind of place that works perfectly for date nights, celebrations, or a classy hangout with the girlies. The plaza around it has definitely become more lively compared to a few years ago, giving the whole area a pleasant evening buzz. Service: Service is friendly and efficient. Staff stay attentive without hovering, and dishes come out at a good pace even during busier hours. The general vibe is relaxed but polished, a balance that fits the fusion concept well. Parking: A huge plus for the South Bay: the plaza has its own dedicated parking structure, and it's free. No need to circle the block or pay for a cramped lot. Between the easy parking and the increasingly lively plaza, getting in and out is pretty painless.

    seafood pan roast

    Came here on a weekday evening with family. It was pretty quiet when we arrived. We actually entered through the back entrance and had to walk through the whole restaurant to get to the front to check in. Luckily we had a reservation and were seated right away, next to the kitchen. I ordered the seafood pan roast, which was a little misleading because it wasn't really a "roast" at all. It reminded me more of a lobster bisque, especially since it came with garlic bread on the side that was perfect for dipping into the soup. It did have a decent amount of seafood in it overall; very delicious and filling! One standout dish our family ordered was the branzino. The whole fish was served and stuffed beautifully, and it was incredibly buttery and flavorful -- definitely a must-order if you're dining here. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a picture of it...we just dug right in LOL It's definitely on the pricier side, so I'm not sure if I'd come back, but it would be a nice spot for a special occasion.

    The Perfect Date Night Vibe & Great Food! If you're looking for a great place to have a lunch or dinner date, this is it. The vibe here is really cool, and the overall atmosphere is fantastic. I brought my wifey here for our Valentine's Dinner, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. A huge shoutout to the staff, too--the customer service was excellent and really added to the great atmosphere of the evening. Now, let's talk about the food, which was pretty good across the board: Seafood Pan Roast (9/10): This was the star of the show for me. Packed with flavor, rich, and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend! Spicy Vodka Rigatoni (8/10): A really solid dish. It had a nice kick to it and the pasta was great. I was also taking a look at their menu and their happy hour special seems incredibly enticing. Between that and the great service we received, I would definitely come back. Highly recommend checking them out for your next date night!

    Came here at the recommendation of a friend who had a really good experience recently. We made our reservation but it was still a long wait. The waitress seemed frustrated as well because it's the manager's decision to overbook. We knew we wanted ordered octopus pasta and chicken karage but unsure of another entree. The waitress recommended the brick roasted chicken that's been deboned and brined so it's really juicy. The dishes took a bit to get here because the kitchen was really busy. The complementary cheese bread was really good and eased our hunger haha. I really liked the octopus pasta. The octopus was cooked until very tender and the pasta soaked up all the seafood flavor. The karage was decent. However, we were a bit disappointed with the checked. It's ok but almost brined for too long so the meat is a bit mealy. It's a nice space and food is overall tasty. Hopefully they can work out the operational kinks so it will be a smoother experience for everyone.

    Brick roasted chicken
    Kingston W.

    I recently tried the Brick Roasted Chicken--deboned chicken with rosemary lemon butter; seasonal greens; and mashed potatoes ($29.00). The cooking method uses a weight, often a brick, to roast the chicken evenly and flatten it for more surface area, resulting in a browned, crispy skin. It was a well-balanced plate with a main and two sides. The chicken had robust flavor from both the seasoning and the browning.

    It's beautiful inside. The design and decor are exceptional. The food is good, I would just say customer service was lacking. Not the friendliest and I literally had to approach someone for help. Also, when I went, there were very few people inside. It wasn't like it was super busy or even busy at all, but maybe it was an off day for them?

    Nick G.

    Located in the Palos Verdes Mall. Under the movie theatre. Ordered the calamari, pork bao bun, and hot honey Sopressata pizza The calamari was crisp and tender with a seasoning that had just the right amount of kick. The pork bao buns were soft and flavorful with savory pork balanced by the pickled toppings and sauce. The hot honey Sopressata pizza was the standout. It wasn't that spicy and had that good amount of sweetness. With a pillowy crust that held up well under the toppings Service was friendly and attentive and the space had a casual yet modern vibe. The interior was nicely decorated. The colorings of the restaurant was spot on. Highly recommend.

    Cheese bread, calamari
    Trisha D.

    Great happy hour deals and a fun vibe to catch up with friends. Cheese bread: complementary. Very very good. Calamari: good but nothing memorable and small portions. Shrimp taquitos: delicious with a refreshing salsa. Get this Chicken sliders: a solid option but I would pick the others over this. Great price during happy hour. Truffle pizza: delicious pizza with pieces of garlic. Must get Yuzu chili mocktail: delicious with the perfect kick. I typically don't like spicy drinks and loved this. Service/ambience: very friendly and quick service. The decoration and ambience look very nice but chill. Parking: plenty in a lot

    Liv B.

    3.5 to be fair. The cheese bread was good though it was only complimentary for one plate. Service was alright but a bit on the slower side. The seafood stew came with just two large prawns and was quite heavy. The Bolognese was okay, nothing particularly outstanding. Overall, a decent experience but not very memorable.

The only place that does okinawa musubi that I knew of is in koreatown, and I don't know of any spots that does onigirazu in LA. The okinawa style musubi was amazing and monstrously thick, thicker than some burgers I've had. I really enjoyed the shrimp tempura onigirazu as well, and will definitely be back to try the other varieties. I once traveled for 40 min in New York to try out a spot that also had shrimp tempura onigirazus, but they were only sold prepackaged and cold, so it's such a bonus to have them made fresh. Owners were extremely friendly and offered a large cup of cold water when I picked up my food which is a god send in this heat wave we've been experiencing. This is such a friendly and affordable mom and pop shop, and my platonic ideal of a restaurant. I would be a regular here at least twice a week if I was a resident, I'm jealous of the locals that can frequent this gem anytime they want.

Although limited staff, the cashier was still attentive and asked if I needed anything or water which I appreciated very much. It seems like most people order online so I will try that next time!

    Note: I'm pretty sure this is a cashless business--there was no cash register, and the tablet…read moreordering system didn't offer a cash payment option. I like this place. Sometimes you crave a quick pasta meal but think your only choice is a sit-down restaurant. Pasta Stories is a fast-casual spot in the Tokyo Central food court. The process is simple: step up to the counter; order and pay on a tablet device; and grab a seat in the food court. They'll call you when your meal is ready. I tried the "Osaka," spaghetti with Wagyu beef meat sauce. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was flavorful but lighter than most restaurants--less salty, with more subtle flavors. Browsing the menu, you'll find all the meals competitively priced compared to fast-food combos. However, each bowl is made to order and leans more toward scratch cooking than the processed fare you'd get at a fast-food restaurant. One last thing: I tend to avoid ordering pasta to go because if the kitchen isn't careful, ithe pasta keeps cooking and soaking up moisture during the commute. That's not a problem here. When they know it's a takeout order, they adjust their cooking and package the pasta nicely. The bottom line is you won't end up with soggy pasta when you get home.

    Pasta Stories is a food stand located inside Tokyo Central at Pacific Coast Hwy & Hawthorne (close…read moreto Rolling Hills Estates). Each pasta is inspired by a different region of Japan and this is one of the few places in Los Angeles / Orange County that serves fast casual Japanese pasta. [Parking]: Plenty of parking spots within the parking plaza. [Ordering]: Customers place an order via a kiosk and pick up their order at the counter. [Menu]: The most classic pasta is Napolitan Spaghetti (Yokohama). Yelp's top highlighted dishes are Wagyu Beef (Osaka), Seafood Pasta (Ehime), and Matcha Cream (Kyoto). *** "Kyoto" Matcha Cream (Chicken - $15.50) & "Osaka" American Wagyu Beef Meat Sauce ($15.50): I personally liked Kyoto better than Osaka as the Kyoto pasta tasted a bit creamier with the matcha cream. Osaka was not bad, but it was not my favorite flavor profile. Each portion was just right so don't expect any leftovers to bring back home. *** Honestly I can see myself revisiting here and cycling through their menu. A solid Japanese pasta spot for anyone to stop by without breaking the bank.

We also ordered two rolls that didn't have rice. One was the Final Fantasia, and I honestly can't remember the name of the other one. Because they were wrapped in soy paper and had quite a bit of sauce, they ended up being soggy rather than having the texture I was hoping for. Unfortunately, these also had quite a bit of imitation crab meat as filler. With the overall quality and portions, I felt the dishes were a bit overpriced. There are definitely other sushi restaurants in the South Bay that I would choose over this one. Even though the service is good, the food just didn't impress us enough to make us want to come back.
