South Bay Cities

These are the cities that we know and love. The cities where we live, work, play, and of course, eat!

If you’re looking for a holiday meal, this one could be the ticket. This Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Gyu Kaku Japanese BBQ is offering all you can eat (AYCE) specials including unlimited champagne and sake.

Known for their beach-inspired burgers and cuisine, Islands Restaurant has opened a new location near South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach.

A week before the 2011 Thanksgiving Holiday, the South Bay Foodies were invited to speak on Blog Talk Radio!

If you think you can get into King’s Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant without getting dessert, think again.

Recently, King’s Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant introduced a new menu: the Hawaiian Connection Menu. With so many cultures present in the Hawaiian population, this new menu reflects the new foods and flavors that are becoming staples in Hawaiian cuisine.

In spite of the weather feeling like summer, our communities are celebrating the upcoming Christmas Holidays in typical fashion.

This Thursday, December 1, holiday celebrations will be going on up and down the coast from Manhattan Beach to Hermosa Beach. Read on for a summary!

Michael says: I have to give a shout out to BALEEN for inviting the South Bay Foodies to visit with Executive Chef Jesse Souza to get a taste of his new fall menu. My good friend Kelvin sums up his dinner experience in the following review. Enjoy!

In this taste test, I get my hands on some granola — By Hand Granola — made right here in the South Bay by a family business based in Hermosa Beach.

Ortega 120 is kicking off a Day of the Dead celebration with a five day long event that is set to take guests right back to old Mexico.

Rock & Brews in Downtown El Segundo is like no other restaurant in the South Bay. It’s a crazy combination of a beer garden, a juke joint, and a California café serving cutting edge comfort food and award winning beers. Oh, and I mean crazy in a good way.

Lazy Dog Café wants you to bark for a cure! On Tuesday, October 18, all locations of the upscale-casual restaurant chain will be donating 15% of each bill to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Taking place over this weekend (October 13-16), the Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival will feature almost 60 events all over Los Angeles, including one right here in the South Bay.

In September, Fleming’s announceed the “Flemings 100″ – 100 award-winning wines available by the glass – during special wine tasting events at each Fleming’s location.  The South Bay Foodies were on hand to sample some vino and check out the new small plates on the dinner menu too.

The Strand House is located just steps from the Manhattan Beach Pier and the ocean front sidewalk for which it is named. Folks familiar with the location may think back to the days when the popular Beaches restaurant occupied the same address. Well, Beaches may be gone but the “life’s a beach” vibe and spectacular sunset views remain, updated with a heavy dose of elegance and bourgeoisie.

You’re not in Kansas anymore! For patrons of American Farmhouse Tavern & Dining Hall, that’s a good thing. They’ve taken Santa Maria style barbecue and paired it with stylish farmhouse décor for an experience that’s rustic and elegant at the same time. Spoiler alert: The food is good too.
