Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Hawthorne / Gardena

We were seated at our reserved time, wait was very nice, patient and on top of everything. The food was delicious! The bbq chicken and ribs were a hit. The salmon was also very delicious. Overall, great restaurant for family time, great food, service and not loud at all. 5 stars.

The food was absolutely delicious—everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection right in front of us! Watching the chef expertly prepare our meal was not only entertaining but also a testament to the skill and passion of the staff. The fried rice, steak, shrimp, and vegetables were perfectly seasoned and cooked just the way we liked. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were always refilled. The portions were generous, and the variety on the menu ensured there was something for everyone in our group to enjoy.

Restaurant Review: Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar Fleming’s is solid! The service was wonderful—attentive, friendly, and well-paced. The food was absolutely delicious, with high-quality ingredients and a menu that catered to various preferences. They also have a kids’ menu, which was a pleasant surprise, making it a great option for families. Whether you’re there for a special occasion or just a nice dinner out, Fleming’s delivers a satisfying experience. Highly recommend!

Meat took long to come out, ended up leaving early because we did not want to wait any longer.

I 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.
