Pado Pan Asian - Manhattan Beach

Reading many reviews, they seem to be very inconsistent. I've eaten here a few times and I haven't had anything bad. The ramen I've had is really good, and I've eaten at some of the best ramen place across the country. Some of the other apps have been fantastic. The drinks are delicious, and they have a great selection of bourbon and other spirits. Irene, one of the bartenders is a Joy, she is super friendly and always asks how you are doing. Seems to be more of an issue with kitchen staff than anything else. They are fairly new, so they might still be trying to find their grove.

The food was Absolutely delicious! This place is a gem in Manhattan Beach. The service was amazing as well. We didn't know what to expect and it is now one of our favorite places!

I am sympathetic to the servers and kitchen staff. We ordered food that took way too long to arrive, was either cold or prepared incorrectly. They did their best to make it right but our kids were starving at that point and the food was just ok. I'd skip it next time.

We were hoping we had a great ramen place locally but no so...or not yet. Food was meh, staff was clearly inexperienced. Need to step up their game fast if they are going to survive.

Ignore the hours on Yelp they are OPEN for lunch! Which I highly recommend for faster and easier waiting experience. We came for lunch and were seated right away but at night there's a wait as tables fill fast. The service was great!! Two young women helping us with happy, friendly, and caring attitudes! We tried a variety of things as a family. Ramen, Xaio long bao, kimchi fried rice, Al's chicken wings, etc. The ramen and wings were slightly spicier than we were expecting (still so worth it). Soup dumplings were warm and flavorful but didn't have much broth/soup in them. Place is small but they have indoor/outdoor ambiance when the weather is nice since they can fully open the windows. Bar has a few TV screens for games as well
