Best Soul Food Restaurants in Torrance / Carson

Delish soul food. Great bar. Loved watching the Laker basketball game, too!

I highly recommend the dining spot "Two Hommes", in Inglewood, CA! My sister and I went for dinner, and trust me when I say the meals we had were exceptionally fresh & tasty. Quite different from the typical restaurant menu item's, yet so amazing in flavor and presentation. We dined in. When your order comes to your table, take my advice and take a picture with your mobile phone so you can revisit, admire & appreciate that meal "visually" again, before you destroy it. Just like taking a picture on vacation somewhere, to cherish the time! Our server Kayla, was gracious as she patiently guided us to winning decisions. We both ordered The Jollof Platter, but with different proteins. I had the Lemon Garlic Salmon. My lil sis had the Root Beer Braised Short Rib. We both were impressed with all the flavors dancing happily in our mouths. Neither of us had ever eaten Jollof Rice prior to this night(1/6/'25), but we BOTH are fans of this dish, now! I really liked the warm ambiance & soft lighting of the dining room. The music that softly flowed in the background was pleasant, hip, and diverse. And the Restrooms were CLEAN👍🏽, and tastefully decorated👌🏽. Immediate parking "might be" your only challenge at this location. I can hardly wait to return to "Two Hommes" in Inglewood, CA to try other menu items and their Sunday Brunch. I am convinced and grateful. -Reggie O.

Overall it was a great experience. Joyce is a cute date night restaurant with shareable serving portions. The staff was attentive and friendly and our server was great. The food presentation was visual pleasing. Unfortunately, the food lacked flavor. Overall the taste of the food was just okay. What we ordered: Blue Crab Gratin En Cocotte Monterey Bay Ogo Caesar Salad Duck Catfish Mac n cheese Collard greens Cornbread
