Panana Night Market - Torrance

This time panana did not provide good environment but great vendors. You can see the seafood the king crab leg was the best night market food I have seen so far. I think everyone should go today if the weather is good and go to eat the crab leg!

So came here on an impromptu date night since I won complimentary tickets through yours truly, Yelp. We had a great evening and enjoyed the live music. We got to walk around and see all the vendors they had and what was for sale. Some pretty cool vendors that sell pretty cool stuff. The food was also a hit. Plenty to choose from and it was a little overwhelming so ending up ordering from two vendors. We had BBQ sticks from a Filipino vendor and a Pulled Pork Mac N Cheese Sandwich from a vendor that is locally in Long Beach. Both had great customer service skills and also tasted good. Want to go back next year to get one of those cool souvenir cups and to also order a D-Cake. Gotta do it for the Gram!!!

Great food, entertainment and some nice goodies. A bit pricey but worth it.

Got free tickets thanks to Yelp Elite! Parking was not terrible thanks to copious mall structure parking right across the street, though the event did offer paid valet parking. There were definitely a ton of yummy and unique food and drink offerings spanning all types of cuisines (most were cash only but they did have atms on site). There were your usual carnival games and music as well, though we just focused on the food. All in all, a very nice local family friendly event, hopefully one that comes back!

Some tips that made my night market experience better: 1) Park across the street from the AMC on the LA Fitness side and walk over as parking does get congested. 2) If you hate crowds and lines, go on a Sunday night which seems to be much sparser. 3) Bring cash for entry and for some vendors. Vendors were mostly Chinese BBQ to Mexican treats. Nothing much in-between. If you're a local, this is a cute little night market but don't expect 626night market variety in the slightest. I had the BBQ squid and a waffle puff dessert. Enjoyed both! I'd say take a walk around the market first before letting your stomach decide what it is craving. Thank you very much to the Yelp LA West team for the tickets. Very appreciated. Had a great time!
