Best Cozy Restaurants in Hawthorne / Gardena

Sublime! Service spectacular! Our waitress Miranda made us feel very special. Her energy positive and uplifting contagious. Courtney, the manager, checked on us and made sure we were happy. I appreciated the personal attention and professionalism. The food was yummy. No complaints. My only quibble would be with myself that next time I don’t order too many fried dishes, and remember to ask first if it’s fried to be sure.

Can’t say enough about Hasu!! Really the finest yakitori and small plates period. Even better than Japan from my experience of 66 years, born and raised in Yokohama……..spent lots of Yen post pandemic in the all kinds of raunchy, smoky yardbird hole in the walls across Tokyo but for some reason when it comes to chicken on a stick………I come back here!! It ain’t cheap but quality and skill of the master dude in the back of the house is worth the trip to Torrance!!

Boa does it again! Had an amazing time celebrating my friend’s birthday! Rocco made sure that we had everything we needed and our servers were very attentive! We had the deviled eggs with caviar to start, the bone marrow appetizer and the table side Caesar before the main course. The main courses included a New York strip, F1 Filet Mignon Wagyu, tomahawk steak, Center cut filet Mingon, and a rib eye. All were delectable and perfectly cooked. For the sides we had Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese, and the truffle fries. Food 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Service 10/10 We will be back again!

Georgia's is a treasure. The staff are warm and informative, the drinks are well crafted, and the outdoor area with firepits is lovely even on a cooler evening.

Had a great time last Friday. Food was great and we topped it off with the dessert as well. Definitely would recommend to lovers of Japanese bar cuisine.
