    Breakfast croissant with crispy hash browns.
    Lorna K.

    We've been coming to The Pan for many years. I am never disappointed by the food or the service they are top-notch. It is always busy comes earlier than later. Otherwise the wait will be a little bit of a 30 minute wait. The ambience is festive always having music piped in a mixture old and new There is also a mimosa tower as well as specialty drinks the Gardena location on Artesia. I consider it to be the best.

    Fish N Chips with Yuca Fries
    Desiree A.

    I was able to catch this place when it was not too busy, thankfully! By the time I left, it was almost full. I started off with a Mangonada which had plenty of chamoy and tajin. It had a decent amount of sweetness. I think the tajin balances out the flavor. Then, the clam chowder. I was sad to know that they no longer serve it in a bread bowl, but nonetheless, this was very good. It had a ton of clams, which I love!!! In most places, you're lucky to get 2 tiny clams in your bowl. Their clam chowder was delicious! On to the main course. I ordered the fish n chips. We had an option to substitute the fries and I chose the yuca fries. I like them, but I think regular fries is a better match for the fish. I also ordered the Mediterranean Omelet with egg whites. It comes with toast or an upgrade. GET THE UPGRADE!!! Their pancakes are so fluffy and delicious, you'll be disappointed if you went with toast instead of a pancake. Then finally, closed out my meal with a latte to-go. Latte is gooood! If you have the space, or just want something warm, I recommend the latte. In addition, our waitress, Clarissa was such a sweetheart and let us take our time to review the menu and ask questions. If you can, see if you can get a seat in her section. The restaurant is clean and the decor is so cute.

    First pack your patience. Went on the weekend about 11:30am (this location open late) and party of 2 was 50-60 minute wait. Lobby is tiny and no place to wait but to stand outside or sit in car. Based on that, I still would give it 5 stars. Food was amazing and portions a good size. Had the traditional pan scramble and upgraded to lemon curd pancake (Yes do the upgrade). Every table had some sort of pancake so I say yes every time. Also, chicken and waffles. Chicken breast was boneless and had great seasoning and moist. Waffle came with blackberry butter and syrup/jam. So delicious. Looked at other tables orders and first time I'd say, everything looked delicious. Lastly, food came out pretty quick and service was amazing. *Didn't get photos because was starving.

    The Lumberjack, one with regular buttermilk and one upgraded to banana pancakes
    Ashley Y.

    Solid brunch place in Gardena! I was recommended to go to this location because of the big parking lot and it was a very nice perk! I will say I came at 10 am on a Saturday and there was a bit of a wait. The food itself is good in the way that comfort food is good. No frills. Not that aesthetic. Does it have the best of anything I've ever had? Not at all. But it really hits the spot when you want a classic American breakfast and the ambience and good service is what makes it so great. We both got the Lumberjack ($20) but I upgraded my pancakes to a specialty pancake for an extra $2. The Lumberjack is a solid breakfast plate with house potatoes, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of sausage and your choice of 2 eggs with 2 pieces of pancake included. If you want all sausage/all bacon they can accommodate that as well with no extra charge. The house potatoes were a good texture even if it doesn't look like it. Not the biggest crunch but still had a crunch. Not mushy at all. I did enjoy the bell peppers mixed in! The bacon/sausage is nothing to write home about. Salty, greasy just like you would expect. The pancakes were soft and fluffy. I did enjoy the extra nuts and bananas in mine but the regular ones were good too! Syrup is in a bottle on the condiments basket. The syrup itself is very mid, very whatever, but I do believe they have maple syrup on the menu for an extra charge. Our server Rudy was incredible. He's super friendly and kept checking up on us, asking if we wanted refills of coffee. He would bring us extra napkins and coffee creamer too. He also took our photos for us! Much appreciated!! Sometimes you go to places and it feels like you're a nuisance or that they can't wait to turnover your table, but this place is super friendly and welcoming. We were there for a little over an hour and it made for a great catch up experience. Other tables were chatting as well. None of that fast food, get in, get out culture here. I can see why it's such a popular brunch place!

    no apology and telling me straight up refund. So arrogant bec they knew that they have a lot of customers

    I had a disappointing experience at The Pan Artesia. I was told my order would be ready in 30 minutes, but when I returned after 45 minutes, it still wasn't ready. There was also no sense of urgency or proper follow-up when I asked about my order. What stood out the most was the lack of customer service. When I questioned the delay, I was simply asked if I wanted a refund -- without any apology or attempt to resolve the issue. I understand delays can happen, especially during busy hours, but communication and attitude make a big difference. Unfortunately, that was missing here.

    I love this place. The food is delicious. Service is excellent. The place is cute and lovely. Plenty of parking and competitive pricing

    Ambiance: it's one of the most popular breakfast and lunch chains in South Bay Area, there's usually a waiting line outside and packed inside Service: very friendly and super patient with questions, provided useful suggestions, and refilled water adequately Food & Drink: numerous items for breakfast and lunch items, and they also serve dinner at this location Short Rib Benedict - **** two corn cakes topped with short rib braised barbacoa over mexican street creamed corn, poached eggs, and poblano cream sauce, tasty beef and unique flavors, recommend The Meat Lover Omelet - ***** bacon, sausage, kielbasa, ham, garlic, jack and cheddar cheeses tucked inside three eggs, served with house potatoes, simple ingredients and rich in flavors, highly recommend Tiramisu Pancake - *** coffee flavored pancakes, topped with a sweet vanilla mascarpone, chocolate shaving, cocoa powder, sweet espresso syrup, and whipped cream, tasted unlike tiramisu, still a good chocolate pancake Drip Coffee - **** freshly brewed and bold taste, recommend Price: generous portions and affordable prices, expect $30 per person for a very fulfilling meal

    The Cast Iron Burger, The "Original" Loaded Hash Browns, Strawberry Paradise Pancakes
    April V.

    Came last night around 6:45pm. Got the loaded hashbrowns, strawberry pancakes, & cast iron burger Everything tasted good, our server was nice & she checked up on us. The food was fresh & we enjoyed it This spot is like a fancy diner that offers breakfast all day, lunch, & has a dinner menu. They also have some happy hour options from 3-7pm

    Banana Pudding with a sprig of rosemary!
    MalloyNregina A.

    Revisiting my review Because our server RUDY is amazing. Very tentative from start to finish. Took to heart his food recommendations and enjoyed the banana pudding dessert he also suggested adding a sprig of rosemary on top was going the extra mile. The vibe is positive dining here today.

    Mozzarella sticks

    How on earth do you charge over $14 for 5 tiny mozzarella sticks? At first when I was handed the bag to go, I thought it was a joke. I use to love the Pan as I always thought they were fair but this is highway robbery. Almost $3 per tiny stick should not cost more than what to go sushi costs. This really blows my mind and I hope this was just a mistake. I can no longer eat here because of this overpricing on this item. The service was fine and the ambiance was clean too but the pricing here is just ridiculous for this item.

    Breakfast fire, servers are so sweet!! The restaurant it's self seems a bit small but you can definitely look past that because of how great the food taste! Will definitely be coming back

    Pastrami egg sandwich
    Malinee S.

    I went to The Pan for Sunday brunch and ordered the pastrami egg sandwich--it was perfect. So tasty and cooked just right. The place itself has a lot of charm and a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes brunch feel special. It was pretty busy when we arrived, with about a 20-minute wait, which is understandable for a popular Sunday brunch spot. Parking was limited, so plan accordingly. Overall, definitely worth the wait for great food and a lovely atmosphere.

    The service at this place is amazing my server Daniel was very attentive the food was very good I had three other people with me and the agree the food was very good I got a BLT with avocado on a croissant with Yucca fries and an Avocado Salad my friends got Chili cheese fries and I will say they were the best Chili cheese fries I ever had in my life my nephew got Pancakes they was very good and my sister got fish tacos and they were very good also I will definitely return Service. A+ Food. A+ Cleanliness A+

To the side they have a variety of different bottled drinks. There's a feidge on the side with small desserts like cakes, cheesecakes, and bread pudding. At the counter, there's a basket of house-made cookies which i was so tempted on buying. Honestly, I'm down to try their other burgers. I'd definitely recommend trying this place out instead of going to the Mc Donalds next door.

    "Welcome to Gardena Bowl"…read more This was the greeting I got from the jolly, heavyset Hispanic guy working the counter at the Gardena Bowl Coffee Shop. He had such great energy and charisma - something that is missing in this cold and dark world. Gardena Bowl Coffee Shop is truly a hidden gem, especially for folks not from the South Bay area. It's an institution in South Bay and worth the visit for those who are fans of diners or Hawaiian food. Gardena Bowl Coffee Shop is a diner located inside a bowling alley, how cool is that?! The diner opens approximately one hour earlier (8 AM) before the bowling alley (opens at 9 AM), and you'll see some of the senior league members stopping by for their daily coffee. Their waitstaff never miss a beat; they will refill your coffee before you even ask, especially if you're sitting at the counter. The big fella, who I honestly wish I caught his name because he was such a jolly and kind man, gave me some recommendations. He told me to look for the shaka on the menu, as those items are popular dishes. He also provided some of his personal favorites. I decided to go with the Garlic Chicken, which was a healthy portion of crispy garlic chicken that came with a scoop of mac salad, broccoli covered in thousand island dressing, and a slice of an orange. I got a side of bacon and sausage fried rice, as someone on Yelp mentioned it was worth getting. I would probably skip the bacon and sausage next time as it's a protein and sodium overload, but it was definitely good. I think I should have opted for the Kimchi Bacon Fried Rice. There are several dishes I hope to try the next time I visit, such as the Loco Moco and Oxtail Soup. This is a legit Hawaiian-style diner. There's a reason they've been in business since 1945. I liked this spot so much I picked up a shirt to add to my collection. I can't wait to come back again soon!
