Short Rib Bowl
Noba N.

The standing room was originally a stand and eat place off the beach and this is their sit down restaurant. They have a great selection of burgers and sandwiches. I can only get the burgers when I know I'm absolutely starving or I wouldn't be able to finish it. The burgers I had in the past were all super delicious. I love the ones with the fried egg! You can never go wrong. So thinking that a burger would be a big commitment and wanting something I can also box up, this time I got a braised beef plate. It ended up being the biggest dish of all lol It felt like the main dish was the Brussels sprouts and the side was the braised beef lol but personally I preferred it that way! It was such a perfectly balanced plate. Underneath the beef hid the rice. You got a refreshing edamame salad, the hefty Brussels sprouts, home fried potatoes, and two gyoza dumplings lol that was super random but I loved it! If you're a meat lover, it may bum you out, but for me, I thought it was the perfect blend. I took the left overs and had another meal later! Can't wait to go back!

No fountain drinks anymore :(
Nico C.

Lots of hype it never lived up to. TLDR, ordered the classic and the burger was just meh. Fries were from a frozen bag and the burger seemed overcooked and under-seasoned. Also, looks like they got rid of their fountain drinks and just have cans. You are WAY better off going to Corner Burger in Lawndale or Proudly Serving / Rebel Republic in Redondo for a much better burger experience. Or even the smash burger at Salt & Pearl. Heck, even the Islands Burgers are more flavorful and have better fries! Will not be back.

Napoleon Burger
Xaviera M.

I must have been starving because I ordered the Napoleon--a burger with a huge piece of short rib in the middle. It was amazing! However, I had to take the big piece of short rib out of the burger because it was just impossible to eat that way. It also came with an order of Parmesan fries right in the middle--delicious! I probably won't be hungry for another week. My daughter's chicken nuggets were good, and I'll probably be getting those next time. All she cared about were the fries, and she was very satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place! The best part? The staff was amazing. I ordered my burger for pickup over the phone, and the young lady who took my order was incredibly sweet. She even gave me recommendations. When I arrived, my order was ready, and she personally greeted me. I also got to speak with the chef, who jokingly said he'd see me tomorrow! It was a great experience, and you just can't beat that.

Bok Bok Sammie with grilled chicken
Lea W.

We were in the mood for burgers...and if you're hunkering for a hunk of burger, this is the place to go! A cozy little place nestled between Wahoo's and Chicken Dijon on Torrance Blvd, the vibe is relaxed and the staff is friendly and welcoming. They were helpful with our dietary restrictions and the food was delicious. Don't expect your food to be kicked out in a hot second; this isn't fast food, the chef knows what he's doing and an excellent burger is worth the wait. The only thing I didn't love was the onion rings; they had a little more breading on them than I usually like but otherwise the meal was thoroughly enjoyable. Will be back!

Brussels Sprouts with Habanero Cream
Frank O.

This visit was a 3-Star experience but with hindsight I would have made a few changes and it could be a 4-Star experience, so rating 4 stars. The Standing Room has multiple locations, one that is almost on Redondo Beach and another one that is about 3 miles inland (same plaza as Tomo Sushi). All of the food items seem optimized for Instagram, but the burgers can get messy once you start eating. We selected the Dressed another and got the side of Brussel Sprouts with Habanero Cream. The Dressed Burger comes with bacon, spring mix, caramelized onions, bleu smoked gouda, fried egg, Korean aioli, and tomato jam. The Onions were one of strongest flavors, perhaps needed more tomato jam or aioli to balance. Good portion size. The spring mix was slightly wet (or it got steamed) and so that made it easy to slide apart and get messy, the caramelized onions likely also contributed. I did not know there was bleu smoked Gouda cheese in there, and could see a cheddar working with the bacon and onions. Brussel sprouts came with generous habanero cream on top, but it was more creamy than spicy, I couldn't tell it was habanero at all. Cooking was on point, some nice crispy browning with the inside still moist, it just needed a more dominantly flavored spread.

Chance burger bunless
Connie S.

Came here around opening on a Sunday afternoon and I was their first customer. Ordered and food came out fresh and quick. I asked for bunless and they put it in a bowl for me. Was kinda like a salad with a burger patty on top. It was quite delicious! Free parking in lot.

Tamie K.

Greeted upon entering... Friendly staff. Different vibe and set up than the other locations. More of a cozy laid back ... always come here for the Sammies while the rest come for the burgers... Truffle Parmesan Fries are always a must and never leave with out ordering them. Close to the mall and other nearby eateries/ restaurants. A must to check out if your are a foodie

My family and I were in the area and extremely hungry for some burgers. I looked on my account and realized I already had this place on my to-go list and it was around the corner. We had so much trouble deciding what we wanted because there were so many good options on the menu. The staff was really nice and helped us with any questions we had and even gave us tips and pointers on the menu. We ordered the Napoleon Burger, the Cash Burger, and the Karage Chicken. Both of the burgers were really good and the Napoleon is definitely a burger for two people. I knew it came with fries but I had no idea the whole bed of fries was inside the burger. The flavors of both burgers blended together really well and I would definitely recommend them to others. The Karage Chicken had a crispy exterior and juicy tender interior. We have to make our way back so we could try more things on their menu.

Cash Burger
Sarah P.

Got the chance burger. Was really good but thought it was a bit too spicy for me. The burger was stacked so I ended up using a fork and knife to eat it lol. The fries were also super crispy! Service was fast and friendly. There's indoor seating and outdoor patio. However the patio seemed to be a bit loud due to the street noise. Board games were available as well.

Salmon Plate
Roger S.

Place is Great! Food is Good and the Staff was awesome! The Cook was super cool and accommodating! Must try if you're around the neighborhood.

Cash Burger
Juli P.

Best burger of my life. Tried the dressing and Cash burgers. Both delicious. The fusion of flavors is so fun and unique. The very friendly cashier also informed us that they can provide meat alternative options, including portobello mushrooms. I may try that next time. They also seem to encourage hang outs- games and books were set up. So great place to bring friends and really hang out. Highly recommend for all categories. Will return!!

Classic Burger
Kayla T.

This was my first time at the Standing Room and I liked how their menu had a lot of different options. The staff was helpful and offered some recommendations for us which was nice. The food also did not take long after being ordered. The restaurant was empty when we came around 2pm on a Sunday so nothing to worry about regarding seating since they dont have that many tables inside. I got the Charlotte sammy, with the coleslaw on the side. The bread was really soft and grilled nicely, the pulled pork was a bit tough for my liking, but the coleslaw was really good. My sister got the Bully and I thought it didn't have enough meat and kimchi compared to bread ratio but it was okay. My dad got the classic burger and that was solid! We also got the truffle fries and sweet potato fries which were my favorite items. Not sure if I would come back, but if I did I would get the truffle fries or sweet potato fries, and maybe try a salad or burger.

This burger joint is delicious. My burger and fries were the "Bomb.com". Nice Ambiance and good…read morecustomer service. It's at the Del Amo Mall in Torrance and right next to an AMC Movie theater so after eating you can relax and kick back watching a movie or burn some calories while walking through this huge mall. I can't wait to go back and try other burgers on the menu.

Decided to try this place out prior to seeing a movie at the AMC theater. It was open seating…read more Seated ourselves at a table overseeing the main street of the Del Amo Mall. The time was 4pmsh and it was happy hour. Not sure if Happy hour is all day .. but just assumed happy hour before 5pm lol. Was not not crowded at this time. Our server and bartender was named Anthony. He was really nice. He asked us what we wanted to drink. I ordered a Miller lite and my wife order some type of cocktail. He came back with our drinks and they were absolutley refreshing! He asked us what we wanted to eat. I ordered a 50/50 slater burger and my wife ordered a PBJ burger (Peanut butter Jelly). We took a bite and we were not dissapointed! The PBJ burger was a taste like no other! Actually my first time ever. It a actually was delicious. Overall, stayed here for almost 2 hours. Mike the bartender was absolutely a cool dude, we socialized for 15 minutes. He came to our table to talk. He is from Long Beach. Kudos to him for a great experience at Slater 50/50. This place absolutely rocks! The meals and drinks were affordable. The ambiance felt warm and comfortable. If you are in the area, dont sleep on this place. It has good food and good people. Try out a peanut butter jelly hamburger for the first time in your life! You won't regret it. Thumbs up to this establishment.

I come to Del Amo pretty often, whether it's to go to the bookstore, shop at some of my favorite…read morestores, or just eat at one of the restaurants around the mall. I had seen the Bazille sign above the Nordstrom entrance so many times, but for the longest time I had no idea how to actually get there. For some reason, I also assumed from the name "Bazille" that it was probably some kind of salad or healthy/vegan place , so I never really bothered to figure it out. Well, I finally did about two weeks ago, and OMG -- what a pleasant surprise. You actually enter through Nordstrom and take the stairs or elevator up to the second floor. The restaurant is beautiful, elegant and intimate without feeling overly fancy. But the FOOD! Absolutely delicious. Everything we had was so good. And another pleasant surprise was the price. I eat out all the time and have tried a lot of restaurants around LA, so I have a pretty good idea of what places in this category usually charge. For the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience, Bazille is surprisingly affordable. It's not "cheap" food by any means -- it just feels like a really good value compared to similar restaurants. The service was just as impressive. Every single person we interacted with was professional, friendly and welcoming, from the hosts to our server. And clearly the kitchen knows what they're doing because everything that came out was amazing. I can't believe I've walked past this place so many times without trying it. Now that Bazille is officially on my radar, the other restaurants I usually visit when I come to Del Amo definitely have some competition. I'll absolutely be back!

A restaurant in a department store? Yup…read more Executive summary: upscale department store has an upscale restaurant. The prices, however, are not out of line and the food quite ok. A: Food. I got the French dip sandwich and the French onion soup (see the theme). The sandwich was very good. The au jus was flavored with something a bit spicy, I get it's Cali but i prefer traditional au jus. The French onion soup is in a generous sized bowl (I split it with my wife). Don't get me wrong, it's good but it's not great. There was something missing that I couldn't out my finger on. Overall tho, it felt like quality food at reasonable prices. B: service: as you'd expect from nordstroms, service was exceptional. Friendly, attentive but not over attentive. I drink a lot of ice tea and my glass was never less than a 1/4 tank. C: ambiance. Ok, full confession, my wife brought me to the mall and nordstroms. For me, It's a bit weird to eat in the ladies active wear section but, looking at the demographics, I TOTALLY see why it's in that section. Picture lots of older ladies (predominantly 50+ white and Korean ladies) meeting up for a glass of Chardonnay and sharing ....HUGE PLATES OF FRENCH FRIES. I didn't know that's a thing. I find it fascinating. If you're in the mall, give it a go. It's quite the experience and position yourself to people watch.
