“I recently became a Moose Lodge member after coming a few times to play cornhole with friends. Love this spot! They have a great inexpensive bar, a pool table, darts, and the membership is inexpensive. If you're looking for a cool spot to hang with friends you should become a member! The staff here is awesome, but special shout out to Stephanie at the bar, she always makes sure everyone is taken care of. Glad I joined!”
“I visited on a slow afternoon, and the mini Japanese garden and tea house offered a serene slice of calm. They host periodic ikebana demonstrations and traditional tea ceremonies, all in a modest, peaceful setting. The koi pond is neat to wander by, and I overheard someone say it reminded them of Kyoto. Staff are warm and welcoming—even offered green tea on arrival. A quiet cultural gem off the usual tourist map.”

The staff was exceptionally helpful, food was great, the room was beautifully arranged, parking is ample and Taylor referred me to a DJ that was perfect and a cater as well. If you are looking for a venue for a party, movie night or anything else you could think of, I would highly recommend having your event here.”

“This gym is not sport club la nor prime time. In the same line with 24 hour fitness gym, club one etc. For $50 per month, it gives great value and plus they validate parking which is very rare in the city. Another plus is that they are fairly brand new with nice steam room and sauna. The bathrooms are clean. I like it. I think I'm signing up!”

“Always friendly to everyone that enters. Sad that the bad reviews on here are inaccurate. For turkeys you have to register to receive the box and turkey. The staff is not racist, they are kind people, that are taking the time to help YOU. Show some respect and kindness yourself. You may even find that you'll get the same. Great job to Monica in reception. She is alway smiling and very helpful and kind.”
“I had a wonderful experience at the union hall in Wilmington, California. The men there were awesome—very professional, respectful, and extremely helpful. It didn’t matter who you were; they treated everyone with kindness and patience. Even if you just walked in off the street needing information, they were willing to help and guide you. Their professionalism and willingness to serve others truly stood out. Top-tier guys all the way.”
“My only regret is not joining sooner!
Being a part of the Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made for both my business and personal growth. The events are well-organized, purposeful, and always full of value. From networking mixers to community programs, there’s a true sense of connection and support.
The Leadership Torrance program has been a life-changing experience — it pushed me out of my comfort zone, expanded my perspective, and introduced me to some incredible people.
But what really sets the Chamber apart is the people. The staff is truly exceptional — caring, responsive, and always looking out for its members. Whether you're a new entrepreneur or an established business owner, the Torrance Chamber makes you feel seen, supported, and part of something bigger.
If you're on the fence about joining, don’t wait — I only wish I had joined years earlier.”
