My first time on this location. Service Sunday night was very good. Food was good, NY steak was juicy and in the perfect term. Guys were gentle. Soup was too tick to my taste but I'm not going to disqualify because i don't like but other people love this consistency. Baked potato my favorite vegetable perfectly cooked. Service was faster than in other @Norms for the main plate. Ask for the garlic butter kudos for the kitchen making food of quality. Thanks for the service. Price is fair, and amount of food is ok.

Love NORMS. Who doesn't, right! I grew up with this place, Sunday breakfast after Mass. Usually packed & filled with the aroma of pancakes, bacon and other delights! It has a large dining area including counter seating. The building is designed with a row of large windows providing lots of light. The dining room is mainly booth seating with table areas for larger groups. The wait staff is courteous. It does get crowded around the usual meal times, so try & avoid that if you want to be seated quickly. Breakfast is a guaranteed wait on the weekend!! The food options have held up & so has the taste. You receive good size portions for the money. It's not cheap, but a good value if you're treating yourself & your family to a nice meal in a clean atmosphere and plan to enjoy. They will keep your coffee warmed & drinks refilled. There is piped in music with a selection I enjoy. There is cool Norm's merchandise for sale at tye Cashier counter. The parking lot is great too, roomy and located at an intersection, easy to find.

I wanted to stop by for the $5.99 deals but realized it was Friday and it was only available Monday through Thursday. I ebbed up getting the 4 course meal deal. Ib ordered the fish and chips. Normally it is $13.99 but with the special its $12.99. The food was good and came out quickly. Only issue I had was waiting to be seated. Had a few workers walk by but didn't get me for awhile and seated me.

There are these two overachieving waiters working there. My favorite is some suave looking tall big Mexican dude, with slicked hair. He's awesome! He brings a very lively feeling to this place. He remembered me from last time and made me feel special. Like I deserves a raise.

Before this evening, it had been a long time since I last ate at a Norms restaurant. Tonight, I arrived at this one in Pico Rivera right around 10pm. Restaurant is clean, well laid out, lighting just right. The service was great. Staff were super efficient and very friendly. As for the food, it was excellent! I was surprised at just how good it was. And for such a low price! Will definitely be back.

I came here for the first time and it was really good. The Porter house steak was amazing!!!!! We tried multiple things from here and no complaints at all with the food. The server we had made it all better too. Keven was definitely a great server. He stayed on top of all his tables and his customer service was amazing. I work in a customer service environment and we strive to make sure we give the best customer service we can. 10/10!
