Big boy is an American classic everyone loves the little chubby guy in the checkered overalls! The big boy burger is great and the hot fudge cake is amazing. Ask for the big boy burger with 1000 instead of the red relish they normally put. You will love it.

I like their crab, steamed fish and cooked vegetables. The steamed bun with red bean stuffing are pretty and delicious. My kids like to go there too. The sushi is not very consistant, can be good sometimes.

There are not enough authentic restaurants in Torrance, and I have been to almost all of them. Upon observing the first impression of Yamabuki, rather a small restaurant with tacky lights, one might underestimate the taste and the service that comes with the restaurant. Looks can be deceiving. When i visited this place, i ordered a beef teriyaki combo and a seafood bowl. First off, a beef teriyaki comes with a variety of side dishes. The tempura pieces are moderately crunchy and most importantly NOT GREASY AT ALL. It seems that they have used very fresh oil for frying the tempura, and one can taste the difference. In addition, the beef in this combo is just phenomenal. It literally melts in your mouth like a piece of chocolate but BETTER. It is tender and freshly cooked. Another thing I loved about this restaurant is the miso soup. It is the best of its kind so far, and it warms up my stomach for the main intake of the main course. Complimenting the miso soup perfectly is the salad, which contains the traditional japanese sauce ( the one that is a little thick and sweet and a little bitter). Those were great appetizers, and my sister and I did not get bored just by eating them. When I first tasted the seafood bowl, I could not believe that I was eating a meal that was only 10 bucks. You get a lot of Sushi pieces, and these carefully cut sushi pieces melt in your mouth. All the ingredients in this bowl compliment well of each other. Another thing I feel compelled to further elaborate on is the warmth emanating from the waitress. Just conversing with her raises one's appetite and creates a great, comfortable, and for me personally an ideal environment to dine on a exhausting weekday night. For those of you who are big savers, the prices are very cheap as well for a gourmet japanese restaurant like this. The teriyaki bowl was only 13.99 and the seafood bowl 9.50 to be exactly.
Pros: Food quality, price range, friendliness
Cons: not easy to find unless you know the place

It was a great visit to this restaurant this evening.
I like the entrance and the "drop your business card" in a glass container to win a free lunch/dessert idea.
It was a busy friday night, there was a wait but it worked out fine for me b/c the restaurant was next to the mall.
The staffs were great, nice greeting and great smile with a sense of humor. The restaurant environment was great, not too dim, great lighting on the food and on the table.
Waitress was friendly, efficient and polite. We used the "Dinner for two" coupon this evening. The portion of the food was HUGE, great value!! The bread was good. The sampler was delicious, shrimp cocktail was my favorite :-)
For main course, I chose the salmon and my boyfriend chose the prime ribs. Both are great. Although we did ask for "medium rare" on the prime ribs, it turned out to be overcooked. We prompt the waitress (although she wasn't available at that moment, another waiter stepped in) he kindly exchanged another prime rib for us - medium rare and juicy. The waitress did came by and apologize about the food was a little overcooked earlier (so that was fine for me), i still think the restaurant offered great customer service.
Unfortunately, I have not yet try the dessert but i did order the NY cheesecake to go (yet to see, but I'm sure it would taste as great as all other food i had this evening).
Finally, I enjoy dinning at this restaurant and it was a great experience. I sure will come back and visit again.
Thumbs up for the great services and delicious food.

I've had the best BBQ ribs here. Texas Looseys has been around for a long time, my mother and step father would take me here when I was a teen. Now I have teenagers and I bring them here. A great dinning venue.

Food is always good!! Especially Fish is Very Fresh. Also the price is very reasonable! Very friendly Sushi Master (Pop and Mom) and servers always welcome. I always eat Japanese Food at many different restaurants, yet I probably think Hakone is the Best Japanese Restaurant. I think you will agree with me if you visit the restaurant. Overall, Hakone is the last hidden Sushi bar!
Pros: Fresh Fish, Service, Very Reasonable

Best Mexican I've had in LA. As amazing as this may seem, LA has a ton of very bad mexican restaurants (even some of the supposedly upper scale ones), BUT this one is a major exception. This El Torito should not be confused with "El Torito (Mexican Grill)" about a 1/4 mi further south on Hawthorne. Anyways -- food is awesome, the chicken torte is great. The first time we went the gave us handmade tortillas served with 2 different salsas; the second time it was chips instead of tortillas - still good. Enchiladas were excellent. This place is very nice inside, more expensive than your typical mexican restaurant, but well worth it.
Pros: tortillas, service
Cons: none
