- DDebraLos Angeles •4 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoWe waited for 1 hour and 20 minutes for a Chef to come to our Teppan. The womens bathroom was disgusting - out of four stalls, 3 stalls were clogged with hidious stuff in the bowls and the fourth stall was constantly running but the bowl was clear due to the water continuously running. I informed one of the staff, who stated that she would get it handled.More infoBenihana - Downey, CAPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Downey / Norwalk / Santa Fe Springs•4.2

- RRosyLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 13, 2024I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and when we first walking into the building it was really cool and nice getting to look at the cars, the little shop, and cafe. I also now see why the wait to land a reservation here is pretty long because walking in, it did not feel packed or too chaotic. I’m a very anxious person and get uncomfortable whenever I’m at a setting where there’s a lot of people so this was extremely nice for me. Now, for the restaurant, I’m a pretty picky eater so not much stood out to me on the menu other than the classic 917 burger which happened to be delicious along with the side of fries that it came with. The bill for me and my partner didn’t come out to a lot or what I was expecting but I mean we did only have the burgers and no alcoholic drinks. Overall really nice and calm place, I felt comfortable and like I could talk to my boyfriend freely and admire the cars together. The service was also really good! I loved everything and my boyfriend enjoyed it a lot as well.More infoPorsche Experience Center’s Restaurant 917Price: Expensive• American• Torrance / Carson•4.8
