An Asian fusion restaurant, owners Leang Lee and Linda Arn are ready to expand their business. The menu has cheesy potato bowls, along with rice bowls, shrimp and mozzarella egg rolls. Along with the diversity of food, the menu contains classic buffalo and spicy lemon pepper wings. Don’t forget the boba tea drinks with some popcorn chicken! Oh, and there’s pasta.

Dot & Dough opened its first location in 2019 and is already on the verge of opening five new establishments along the California coast. With 20k Instagram followers, it is sure to get more traction from sweet goers.

Burattino Brick Oven Pizza

There is a new pizzeria in Carson that is sure to bring in a lot of new customers. Its 337k followers on Instagram think so. While it is not yet open, it is aiming for April 1 as its opening date.

With a variation of culinary gourmet meats, stretchy cheese, and black garlic-infused marinara, owner Lee Kim makes it clear that this is not a fancy establishment but a neighborhood joint with a gourmet twist. This Korean-owned restaurant is ready to welcome its Carson residents to a new pizzeria experience ready for every season. But if you’re not craving pizza, that’s okay, because Burattino’s signature calzone and hot wings are available to eat. While you wait for its grand opening in April, you can stop by its San Pedro location.
