“Great date spot, sure to impress! The katsu has a rich flavor and superior texture, melt in your mouth with a layer of crunch. The Matcha Yuzu Ade was so good my partner and I started making our own at home. Kind staff as well, we sat at the booth and it was fun watching the kitchen. I live far away from this place but otherwise would be a regular.”
“An Extraordinary Hidden Gem in Whittier!
I hosted my mother's 80th birthday celebration at this aesthetically, beautiful restaurant about three weeks ago, and let me tell you our guests are still raving about it! This place is truly a hidden gem in Whittier.
From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The Oaxaca-style food was outstanding, rich in flavor and beautifully presented. The dessert was a definite hit with everyone, and the ambiance was exactly what we had envisioned-warm, inviting, and perfect for such a special occasion.
Xotchil, one of the owners, was an absolute pleasure to work with-professional, extremely accommodating, and incredibly responsive to every question and request I had. Her team-Liz, Ines, and Raul-were equally amazing: friendly, attentive, and very professional throughout the entire event.
We were also grateful that the owners allowed us to bring in a Mariachi band, a Dueto band, and even a photo booth to make the night even more memorable. It was truly a magical and heartfelt evening, and I couldn't be more thankful for how everything came together.
This milestone celebration meant so much to our family, and choosing this venue was one of the best decisions I made. Thank you to the entire team for your excellent service and for helping create such a beautiful and unforgettable memory for my mother and all of us!”
“Well…. I give the servers high marks and the food was good, but the kitchen was so slow! We hit the hour mark and were just about to walk out, and the server finally came with out food. Beer was ok. The server was nice and comped our beer and soda. Still y’all. An hour for food is too long.”
“We came here 2 days back to back and was definitely not disappointed the first day we just wanted to try the place out and ordered the pork belly sliders and a brisket Mac n cheese. Both were amazing but… the next morning we came to get brunch and ordered the chili verde breakfast burrito along with the tri tip breakfast bowl and I must say that had to be the best breakfast burrito I have ever had! Plus the sauce with the salsa they give you for that bowl was delicious!!! I’m just upset that the brunch is not year around”

“This is one of the best and only place we like to go. They are very friendly and best fresh sushi all around. it really feels like a small family enviroment”
“I've never had a bad experience at Azabu. It's our fave date night dinner so we had to try it out on Valentine's Day. They had 2 pre fix menus available and it was the best experience. Our server, Rashawn (not sure on the spelling) was great. He was very attentive and took care of me since I have a raw shellfish allergy. Drinks and vibes were amazing as always.”

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, with that said I love to try a different item on it everytime I get a chance to stop by. Taste and quality are always on point. It's awesome to see the staff having a blast together with great music in the background making the experience feel fun even when there's a wait. Pricing is perfect as the portions are generous and the flavors are like to other. So happy to see this business growing as I look forward to seeing them all over the nation one day. Keep serving it up #TYQ!”
“We went to the Newport Beach location a couple of weeks ago. This was my first time ordering an acai bowl. The staff was very helpful and patient when I was building my bowl. Overall, from the time we walked in to the time we left, the staff was extremely friendly and nice.”

“The is my favorite place in Uptown the beer is always amazing but most of all it's the staff. Jess, Lee, Chantel and especially Amber always make my experience exceptional. Whittier wouldn't be the same without this crew. Cheers!”

“Excellent fresh food! Never disappoints. Be sure to try the chicken bento box. Great teriyaki chicken, rice,salad, tempura, sushi rolls AND a miso soup. Service is great and they serve you within a good amount of time. There is limited seating most people order to go.”
“Came hungry, came thirsty, and came in need of a good spot to let my creativity flow. This is it. This place has it all. The ambiance gets you set to sit, relax, and unwind. The drinks are on point, delicious and well served. The service and welcoming environment is just the beginning. Food is gourmet, lighting is perfect, service is amazing, and the rest; well, come and find out for yourself. Great experience. I'll definitely be a returning visitor.”
“I’ve had breakfast at the Toast in Whittier and this one. Both have great breakfast. This Restaurant is much bigger and it’s very clean. The servers are friendly, however, I felt like they worked at a slower pace compared to the Toast in Whittier. The breakfast was awesome!”
“Came to the fairly newly reopened El Bueno Gusto for dinner and happy that we did. As it was a nice night, we chose to sit in quaint patio area. We were brought out tasty chips and salsa and the attentive waitress took our drink order. Just fyi, beer and wine is only served inside.
We ordered the fish tacos and shrimp fajitas. Boy, they were extremely tasty, really fresh flavors. The beans and rice were good.
Prices were reasonable as well!
We will be back to try the asada and other meat dishes.
Looks like they are open for breakfast too.”
“Amazing and comfortable experience… The oysters are beyond fresh and super special on taste, quality… The “you only live once” platter is INCREDIBLE!!! In our sweet little town of Whittier!!!”

“I stopped by the Carl’s Jr. right off the 605 freeway in Whittier to grab something small to eat, and I’m so glad I did. Adriana provided amazing service—she was patient even though I took a little long to order, and her friendly, welcoming attitude made a great impression. Her positive energy really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you Adriana”
“Hole in the wall but wow that price for a super burrito! Burrito was nothing to brag about. Ordered a super burrito with buche and asada. $26..... They needed to heat it up more, the cheese was not remotely melted, I guess I shouldn't have ordered it with everything, the salad probably cooled everything down. Cause the burrito was not piping hot like how I would have liked it.
That being said omg this is a giant burrito larger than a smart water bottle.”
“Magaly & Eduardo, I want to thank you for our belated Valentine's Day dinners that we had on Monday, Feb. 21st. My husband and I both ordered the 4 Course Dinners for the 1st time. Considering that I had the steak, chicken, and shrimp, & the salmon dinner, they were all cooked to perfection. Thanks again for your attentiveness!”
“I've been coming here for over 20 years. It doesn't disappoint. It has been a reliable and faithful lil hole in the wall since my late night partying, clubbing, or barhopping days. Great place when you want to munch on some good Mexican food. Atacor is a true gem that has a special place in my heart. Their salsa is one of a kind and kicks up any dish here. If you're hungry, try the Super Burrito it's worth it!”
“This Carl’s Jr. in Whittier feels like a familiar stop along a warm Southern California road 🌴. The air is mild, traffic moves steadily, and the neighborhood around Washington Boulevard has that relaxed, everyday SoCal rhythm.
Inside, it’s exactly what you expect from Carl’s Jr. — burgers, fries, drinks, fast service, nothing fancy. The food is consistent, hot, and filling, which is really all you’re looking for when you pull in for a quick bite 🍔🍟. You’re not here for surprises — you’re here because you know what you’re getting.
Outside, the mood is calm and practical. Cars pass by, streetlights glow, and the evening settles in without rush. It’s the kind of place you stop at between errands, after work, or while moving through the city without any big plans 🚗🌙.
This Carl’s Jr. isn’t a destination.
It’s a reliable Southern California fast-food stop — simple, familiar, and easy to fit into the flow of the road.”
“One of the Best fastfoods around! First time today having lunch, the cleanliness is absolutely perfect, ,nice cold temperature, tables chairs,restroom trash bins are neat and tidy, cashier and cooks are well reherse .foods is amazing I decided to take home some for later , WI does, parking is immaculate. I've been living around this neighborhood for 22 year s and today is my first trial. And oh boy I'm really satisfied.”
“Been coming here since the 90s when my mom would bring us as kids. We moved a few times and still make the drive. The owner and staff are very friendly and the food is sooooo good. I will post pics next time I go. I always forget and we all dig in. Its my husband's and kids favorite spot too. We come here for birthdays and just because and make the 1 hr 30 minute (thats with no traffic) drive . I love that this is now a tradition for my lil family.
We always get the wor wonton house special soup, shrimp fried rice, house special chow main. Manderine chicken and beef and broccoli . I highly recommend”
“We love Joy. My family have been regulars for many many years. Food is awesome. Service is great, servers friendly. Only bummer, when we, as a family, went to celebrate my birthday on Saturday, we presented a gift certificate my husband & I were gifted from my Kids. It was issued at the end of 2019, expired at the end of 2020. Because of Covid we did not venture out until late last year. They did not not honor it. A little bit of a disappointment, but not going to keep us from frequenting our fav local sushi restaurant.”

“I tried both the Korean burger and the Argentinian burger, and they were both absolutely delicious.
The combination of kimchi, cheese, and egg was especially amazing.
The chimichurri sauce with the juicy patty was also an incredible match. The potato fries are also freshly hand-cut, just like In-N-Out’s, so I highly recommend trying them!
The owner was very kind, and the overall concept is fantastic. I would definitely come back again!”
“I was captivated by this place from the first bite of their tacos and burritos! The tacos are a feast for the senses. The tortillas are tender, the filling is juicy and perfectly balanced. The spiciness is moderate, piquant, and adds to the appetite. The burritos are a true explosion of sensations. The portions are large, filling, and incredibly delicious. The fillings are varied, and you can taste each ingredient. The sauce is delicious, complementing the flavors without overpowering them.
I was especially impressed by the quality of the ingredients. Everything is fresh and delicious, and you can tell the care and attention paid to each item. It's prepared with love, and it's noticeable. The service is fast and friendly, and our orders were delivered promptly. The atmosphere is pleasant, cozy, and inviting.
The prices are quite reasonable, considering the portion sizes and the quality of the dishes. The value for money is excellent. I recommend this place to all lovers of Mexican cuisine! I will definitely come back again to try other dishes. This place has become one of my favorites, thank you for a wonderful experience!”
“I have not been to a Marie Calendars in years! I thought they had all closed down. I was in the area and so nostalgic that I decided to stop for a meal. The best server, service and experience! Thanks to server Maricela M. she made the experience so amazing! Recommend the chilaquiles and delicious and filling! I loved eating here and feeling so nostalgic”
“I would give Pizza 21 a five-star rating without hesitation. The cheese is delicious, the crust is great, and the toppings are fresh. This place has exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to satisfy my pizza cravings here at least once a week. A must-visit spot for pizza lovers!”

“honestly The food is very very good, I rate the his place a 10/10 in food and service. For being a Japanese restaurant this food is very tasty, the only thing is that they will serve your food in to go plates. Understandable, but if you are craving something with a lot of variety very good food, healthy and good in nutrients I have to recommend you this place. Also, if you are on a diet this place have the BEST fresh produce you can imagine so gymbros and gym girls do not miss this place 👍✅”
“I have been going to 6740 for years. They have beer and wine. They have TV's for sporting events. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed their wings, but recently we had a less enjoyable food experience. The wings were served cold and the grilled cheese burger was very plain. Prior to that, this was one of my favorite places for wings. I hope it improves if we come back. Maybe it was just a busy night. I don't know.”

“I was craving froyo and came across this place while driving with my children and husband. Good thing we chose this place. It is the best! I've been coming every week or 2 and I get the cherry tart and lavender. It is so delicious. I bring my own organic granola to top it off and it is so yummy. Best froyo ever!”
“Everything here is sooooo GOOD!!! I normally only eat my tacos with corn tortilla but their Toritos with flour tortilla are the BEST!!! They melt the cheese, a slice of Santa Fe pepper and I get the combo meat with asada and adobada, DELICIOUS😋. Add the grilled onions, you won't regret it. The tortas and vampiros won't let you down either. Definitely going back”
“Ordered a torta cabeza, 2 sopes asada, 4 tacos and an horchata. Torta was great in flavor, about the usual fat cabeza has but most places usually dont have a good flavor. had the usual ingredients.
the sopes were really good too. A really refreshing horchata. Clean well lit environment, and a dope patio section.
And of course, excellent customer service. Offered the house salsa... which was surprisingly bomb.”
“Delious !!! We got beef ribs so meaty, tri tip so tender and brisket melts in your mouth. Mac & cheese is creamy. This is a Hidden gem in the city of Whittier. Family own you must try. Best bbrq in town.”
“Buena comida y mucha variedad...servicio al cliente es excelente...lo recomiendo y les doy 5 estrellas...”
“Pizza deliciosa e massa leve que não pesa no estômago. Serviço bom e atencioso.”
“todo espectacular, desde el ambiente, el servicio.. y la comida deliciosa!”
“Amazing Sope Tacos Desvelados is basically a thick tortilla with lots of tasty things on top of it. The base is made from masa dough, which is cooked until the outside gets crispy and the inside stays soft and chewy. Each bite tastes great because of the different textures that are mixed together.”
“(Translated by Google) Very tasty tacos the Guaca Salsa that they have has a very good spicy flavor…. Very delicious recommended tacos(Original)Muy sabrosos los tacos el Guaca Salsa que tienen tiene un sabor picante bien bueno…. Muy deliciosos los tacos recomendados”
“Food was good. There was a little wait but the server (Derek) was alone. He was very kind and attentive. They were out of garlic noodles but It is a Tuesday after a holiday weekend. We were visiting from up north. Will definitely come back if we we're ever in the area again.
We had mussels, shrimp, tiger shrimp, a lobster, side of garlic butter, fried butterfly shrimp rice and fries and two sodas”
“Wings, Spin fries, flat pizza ,nachos and drinks never a dull moment 😊”

“Sat outside, which was pleasantly decorated and covered with umbrellas. Food was delicious and served generous portion. Was happy to see they served squaw bread!”
“Overall the food was very good. I had several guests with me, a party of eight. With assistance for another waiter whom I asked to get a few items for us, was able to save the service performance. Otherwise it was a good dining experience.”
“Tried these wings for the first time due to a rec from a friend. We had to get them delivered. They ended up being really good! Slight smokiness to them. Glad we tried them.”

“We can sunday am and there was no wait staff was great ! The food was good it's has it own twist to it . Fusion food price wise, you're gonna spend a little bit of money in parking on the street you might have to park a few blocks away .”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for Wingstop Big Thanks to Salvador, Cesar & Team!
I want to give a HUGE shoutout and thank you to Salvador, Cesar, and the entire Wingstop crew for their incredible service during a crazy situation.
We ordered 100 wings and fries through DoorDash to feed our family on Halloween night. The driver picked up the order and then CANCELLED it. Yes, they literally took the food and disappeared. And to make it worse, DoorDash offered zero real help. No urgency, no accountability nothing but a headache.
But Wingstop? Total game-changer.
Salvador and Cesar stepped up big time. Even though it wasn’t their fault, they remade the ENTIRE order 100 wings and fries for us and treated us with so much kindness and respect. They turned a disaster into a reminder of what real customer service looks like.
To the Wingstop team: We’re truly sorry you had to remake the order, but we are beyond grateful for how you handled everything. You earned customers for life. 🙏🏽💯
🚫 DoorDash you need to do better!
🍗 Wingstop YOU ARE THE REAL ONES!
Thank you again, Salvador, Cesar, and the whole Wingstop team. You saved Halloween for us!”

“Had a wonderful time here!!! There were so many varieties to choose from and Mama Wang had loose leaf as well as tea bags available to purchase! I brought family with me to do a tea tasting and we got to try several different types of tea that invigorated my love for tea! Not only that, but Mama Wang herself brewed the tea and helped us pick different varieties and was a wonderfully charming and sweet person to speak to. Everything was perfect on my visit and I fully recommend coming here for the tea tasting experience and for wonderful teas!”
“A nice tea shop with free wifi and some working spaces. It’s new and clean. A few people were working or doing homework in the seating area. It feels very family friendly. Most non-coffee drinks are mixed power so I couldn’t have the no sugar version I wanted.”
“If you’re craving authentic Mexican comfort food, this spot will hit every note. They offer a variety of traditional Mexican dishes! Homestyle meals with homemade corn tortillas! Beans made from scratch!! They specialize in authentic tacos, Mexican soups, menudo and pozole & a variety of Mexican comfort foods you'll love.
Taqueria Carnitas Sahuayo brings a taste of Michoacán!! The Carne de Puerco con Chile is pure flavor — tender pork in a deep red chili sauce that’s both rich and bold. The fried queso quesadilla was ridiculously cheesy, the adobada burrito packed with saucy goodness, and that flan… SO creamy!! Don’t miss out on the agua de Jamaica!! Bold, tangy, and refreshingly floral!! Insanely refreshing!!
Every bite is hearty, rich with flavor and a taste of Michoacán that’s a definitely crave-able!!
Wonderful customer service from Juan and Javier!!”
“Great food! Highly recommend!”
