Rascals Teriyaki Grill

Have been a big fan of Rascals for years, well, almost 20 years now. Used to work not too far from the Torrance store and this location has always served the best version of Rascals food. Post Covid, things have gotten a little tighter. You used to be able to get some extra salad dressing for no charge, not the case anymore. They used to have the teriyaki sauce on the counter but now you have to ask for some if you want extra. Portions are still generous. I usually get the combo deluxe plate that comes with both chicken and beef and the Chinese chicken salad. The salad comes with almond slices, which I don't like, but you can ask them not to include them. I recently learned you will get a larger portion of the salad if you get it to-go. Pro-tip if you just want to eat the meat there and the salad for dinner. Also, best to eat the beef while you are there and save the chicken (if you are going to have it later). The chicken stays better over time. If you've never tried it, start with one of the combos and definitely get the Chinese chicken salad. The dressing is amazing! Enjoy!

We've always supported Rascals. They did well throughout Covid, had very clean practices .. some of the best I saw. Food has always been very good! It's a good go-to place for after sports, a night you don't feel like cooking, or when you're just hungry! I've minused one star due to the fact that the portions have gotten much smaller over the years. The turkey burger used to have a nice thick patty and proportional to the bun. Now the bun is huge, and the meat is thin so it's way too much bread. Even the toppings for the burger seem scarce. Also the chicken and rice plates have a lot less chicken, used to be nice thick pieces and now it's smaller pieces. The Chinese chicken salad is great as usual, but again hardly any almonds only won tons now. We still love Rascals, maybe don't frequent like we used to, but we still have it as one of our go-to's.

Ordered a turkey burger on wheat and a teriyaki turkey burger, specifically requested turkey meat since I cannot digest red meat very well.When I arrived home, I noticed that both burgers were not turkey meat(which is a lighter color than regular hamburger).If restaurant was busy with other customers, I might understand the mix up, but it was not busy when we visited. At least the Rascal Teriyaki Grill in Gardena always gets my order correct. This is my last visit to this Rascals restaurant. I'll stick to the Gardena Rascals.

My 3rd visit here on our 3rd trip to CA, always a treat, quality fresh ingredients, outstanding flavor! Service is kind, quick, and the ambiance is casual cafe vibes! We may try to come more than once this year.

Was out in the field for work today. Everyone seems to rave about the teriyaki. Decided to stop In and have lunch. Ordered just a teriyaki chicken bowl. Came with a side of coleslaw. The cashier was extremely friendly. She had a great personality and offered me a cup for water when she noticed I did not order a soft drink. Place was half full. Half the tables available. Near and clean looking. The food itself was just ok. I don't get what the rave is about. I think it's just a local tradition if you live in the area. White rice. How can you mess that up? The serving for the price Was ok. It's just ALOT of rice with about half the amount of chicken compared to rice ratio. The chicken itself did not taste grilled to me and seemed more like baked/boiled. I was expecting more grill marks and flavor. Overall, just OK. Would try again. But would not go out of my way to return. Kinda prefer Golden Bowl

A Torrance staple, I've been coming to this Rascals ever since high school. I love the vibes in here; family owned restaurant (only 2 other locations (Gardena and Long Beach) and each time I've gone, I never left disappointed. Whatever your main item is, make sure you order the Chinese Chicken Salad as your side. The Teriyaki burger is great, the chicken sandwich also great. I love getting the combos as you can tell. lol. I'm usually never waiting long (keep in mind it's a popular spot so lunch or dinner rushes can happen. They have a soda fountain machine so you can always grab re-fill. One thing to remember about this location: parking can be TOUGH. You might have to loop around the small lot a couple of times during peak hours or find parking on the street or the adjacent strip mall. Always a great meal and I look forward to it each time.

A local institution for some great chicken teriyaki or Chinese chicken salad. Place is always jumping with people either dining in or here for their pickup/take-out. Inside is decent, a bit "tired" after all these years but probably feels like home for those that have been coming here for decades. This has to be one of the go to spots for local Torrance families on a Saturday night when needing to pick something for dinner that will please everyone in the family!

Per usual a great meal! We ordered the Chinese chicken salad and turkey burger for dinner and enjoyed our meal outside. Still one of my favorite salads!

Service was poor, small basic request was declined. Cashiers clueless and manager extremely rigid and not accommodating. Disagreeing with me and for no reason. No helping the customer, no more business here.They don't care. It's cheap, they'll still have some customers. Everything in Styrofoam so unhealthy. Hot steaming food served into thin plastic, they don't care if you ask for a different container that they stock. Price is their bottom line.No thanks! Better service at in and out any day

It's a staple in Torrance. Go to comfort food if you're in the mood for teriyaki chicken and rice. Never get tired of it. Portions are huge. Beef tends to be tougher so I usually stay away. Salad isn't anything special
