It had been a long time since I had Hawaiian food, authentic or otherwise. I decided to give The Loft in Torrance a try. The building is a dreary grey. Definitely not what I think of when it comes to Hawaii. Whatever their reason for painting the building like this, I just hoped that the dreary feel ended on the

My husband was the first one to discover Rice Things when he moved to Hermosa 6 years ago. Being the one that was hesitant to try new things, I was happy to hear that he found a Japanese restaurant he was ok with. Chefs don’t prepare your meal before your eyes, there’s no sushi bar, so don’t come in with

I’ll admit it. As much as I spend time in El Segundo, I rarely stop by The Edge at El Segundo Plaza. I really need to do this more often. With that being said, the last restaurant I reviewed there was La Sirena over a year ago. It was clearly time to try something new. A few weeks after I

I’m not sure about you but when I drive on PCH, I get tunnel vision. So many shops on both sides of the street make my brain just go crazy, put the blinders on, and focus on the road ahead. Of course that’s a good thing because you don’t ever want to get into an accident by rubbernecking to see

Saigon Flavor was another one of those restaurants that I would frequently pass on a daily basis as I went about my day. They would frequently advertise lunch specials & pho on big banners. I finally decided to check it out this week. Upon entering, I noticed that the place was filled with plastic flowers and shrubbery everywhere. The tables

Pull up to Hudson House Bar after a long day at work. It looks like a tiny establishment in a small plaza but good things come in small packages. Family owned Hudson House bar with its industrial style chrome and black motif lets one’s troubles slide right off their shoulders the minute they walk through the front door. A favorite

“Hi there! Come on in!” said David the manager of the China Tea House the minute I opened the door. He escorted me to a table in the half full restaurant with a smile. Right away I was in a better mood. He handed me the lunch menu which consisted of one page of specials at $5.95 and the other

The Torrance Crossroads shopping center is filled with many shops and eateries. There’s one section of the shopping center that is a strip of many Asian cuisines including Japanese and Thai to name a few. I learned that Royal Thai had a lunch special so I decided to check it out. Upon first glance, I loved the color scheme of

I’m glad that I’ve found a network of foodies out here. It’s especially good when said foodies take pictures of food just like you do, it definitely makes me more comfortable! Granted I’ve gotten used to bringing my camera places & am no longer self conscious when I take pictures at a restaurant, but just being around other foodies who

On Saturday, a friend & I braved the rain (read: drizzles) and had a girls night out to catch up over one of my favorite activities: eating! Our first stop was Lala’s Argentine Grill on Melrose. The rain wasn’t really an issue to me, but it was still cold either way you look at it. That’s why I was shocked
