I had the most delicious dinner at SOL recently, located inside of the Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina hotel. Our group of 4 tried a variety of cocktails and food items, and everything was superb. Some highlights were the Pork Risotto, the Honey Walnut Shrimp, and the Beef Spare Ribs. On the lighter side, the Ahi Tuna Tartare was outstanding. The restaurant itself is beautiful and spacious, with lots of natural light and great views of the ocean and harbor. We started with drinks on the outdoor patio, around a fire pit (so cozy), and then moved inside for dinner. I want to give a special shout-out as well to Juan, who was both our bartender and server for the evening. He made the BEST drinks and was just a delightful human all around. Next time you're in the area, or if you're staying at the hotel, I highly recommend giving this new restaurant a try!

Don’t let the exterior/how hard it is to find deter you. Sol is in the corner lot of the Sonesta hotel. It boasts superb service and food! Chef Hayato and Juan were amazing. Highly recommend the wonton soup, crane asada fries and pork risotto. Also ordering after 2 drinks and 6 dishes we barely got to $100, so prices were incredibly reasonable as well!

If you wanna experience the best Japanese-culinary-meet-local-food experience in the area, SOL is the place you must try. As a Japanese myself, I rarely encounter a good mix of Japanese food & other cultural food (usually it’s either too Japanised and miss all the authenticity OR they just serve sushi..),

BUT Chef Hayato make it happen!!

Here are my recommends. Start with Tartare, and pick those below….;

No.1 : Honey walnut shrimp
crispy shrimp mixed with special honey mayo sauce and sprinkle of walnut. You can’t stop eating them once you start

No.2 : Beef Spare Rib
I don’t know how many hours it takes to make the rib so soft and tender… it’s just melts in your mouth but still leave some part to enjoy chewing, which releases the flavor of mixed sauce of beef juice & gochujung.

No.3 : Pork risotto
Pulled pork meets creamy risotto made with Dashi (Japanese stock which adds deeper layer of flavor). Pork itself is so super tender.

Not only the food but also Juan, the waiter take the experience whole different level with his friendliness and kindness and his knowledge about alcohol.

アメリカフードに飽きてしまっている日本人ローカル•ツアリストの方にも是非立ち寄って頂きたい店舗です！正直Pier でご飯するより結果リーズナブル、より美味しくて素晴らしい体験ができます。次LAへ来た時は必ずよります！

I had breakfast at Sol after staying overnight at the Sonesta. It was opened early to accommodate a feed before work. Service was quick and attentive. I made an omelette with mushrooms, spinach, and ham. Food was meh but it did the trick. More focused convenience than quality which worked for me as a business traveler.

Hotel Breakfast Buffet. Almost $30 per person. Absolutely unreal price for a really very average buffet. Most items were luke warm, a very limited selection, stale pastry. There were no bowls available anywhere for cereal/oatmeal.

One of the most expensive meals we had during our trip. Really unimpressed. We'd return to the hotel but skip the breakfast every time.

Juan is the best bartender and server. He made us the most delicious and inventive cocktails, each one was 10/10. We enjoyed food and drinks many times over our weekend trip, and would have gone back if we had more time. Thank you, Juan!

We had the opportunity to dine here this evening and had the entire restaurant to ourselves. Blanca is an amazing waitress and an even better bartender. You have to try her margaritas. The Chef’s menu is delicious. Husband and I had a great time and enjoyed our food and drinks. Thank you Blanca for that great conversation. We both will miss you and thank you to the chef and Juan and the staff we met. Everyone was so kind!
