Paradise LA is an independent family (LA native!) owned and operated restaurant located in the city of Gardena near downtown Los Angeles. We are an under-the-radar restaurant with relatively no street visibility, little signage, and do not advertise. We have grown strictly by word of mouth. We are a mellow setting in which everyone is welcome; our customers set the pace (quick and professional at lunch, relaxed at night), and we are the only restaurant in Los Angeles that boasts a menu created exclusively by its customers.
Our customers asked for a menu of fresh fish, healthy salads, light pastas, thin crust pizzas, innovative sandwiches, and delicious soups. They wanted freshly prepared from scratch (on site) foods sans partially-hydrogenated oils, before it became oh-so-chic. And we listened. Changes are made solely at the request of our customers.
Our heart-healthy menu earned Paradise LA a spot in the Choose Health LA program. A proud participant, the Choose Health LA program features Los Angeles restaurants that offer healthy food choices as a foundation for a healthier life style.

Every plate achieves that elusive, cuisine-defining balance of sweet, salty, and sour — even dessert.
