The place with the big moai on the roof is The Pitcher House in Hermosa. The moai is the only tiki thing about the place, although the inside is still pretty cool in a 'u-name-it, we'll put it on the walls' kinda way. Definitely worth checking out, but don't expect tiki.

The Norm's on PCH in Lomita is a new place, but based on the old-place (on Hawthorne in Torrance, among others) style. Across the street, however, is the Hot N Tot, which has been around for many a moon. Sabu and I have breakfasted there many times.

Java Lanes is not in Lomita, but rather waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past it in Long Beach. Haven't been inside, though. (But I'll bet Trader Pup has!)

If you're travelling on PCH again, however, don't miss Hale Hawaii (even though it is VERY easy to miss! 3144 PCH in Torrance). Their Scorpions are worth the drive!

Funny thing - I live in Redondo and still haven't seen the Point Break! Think I'll check it tonight.
