“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”
“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.”
“I can’t give enough stars. I ordered catering for my son’s 2nd birthday. I live in Las Vegas and I was able to order everything via email with Josh. I explained the sides I was going to have and the number of guests. He predicted my food exact! Everyone enjoyed the food! They have awesome customer service, pick up process was easy, and food was fresh and delicious! I will be back for all my family events. Thank you Steve’s BBQ!!”

“Best food! great family atmosphere! very clean. excellent customer service.”
“First time here and it met our expectations. It has a very romantic and luxurious atmosphere. The sensory experience was warm and elegant inside. Dim lighting, gentle music, and stylish decor. Food was delicate deliciousness in every bite! So many subtle flavors excellently combined to delight my tastebuds. We started with an Azabu Old Fashion and Lemon Drop Martini....perfectly crafted and served. For appetizers, we enjoyed: Wagyu Dumplings and Spicy Garlic Edamame. For our mains: Toro Uni sashimi (incredible!), and Salmon sashimi. Spicy Tuna and Albacore rolls and the Denver Wagyu Carpaccio (with Hot Stone). Desert: Ube Japanese Cheesecake! If you are looking for that perfect night out, enjoying delicious food in a warm romantic setting, you won't miss here. I will definitely be coming back!”

“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.”
“Deeply grateful for Healthy options! The owner is very kind and knowledgeable. The food was very good and portions were definitely generous. Pricing was fair and the service was fast and the restaurant is very clean. Definitely recommend it, even my husband liked it and he Is picky sometimes!”
“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!”

“Solid spot for Japanese-Korean food in Whittier. The menu is small but focused which I like. We got the Cheese Katsu meal, Omurice, and Egg Sando. The Katsu was cooked well, not too greasy, very flavorful. The Omurice was my fave, fluffy and the sauce was really good. Another highlight was the Yuzu Panna Cotta we got for dessert. It was citrusy, not too sweet, great texture, we really enjoyed it. Their Matcha Yuzu-ade was refreshing as well. Good service and a relaxed atmosphere. We will be coming back to try some things we weren't able to fit in this time around.”

“This place has great food! I have tried the chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki. Gyoza, California roll. And the Bento box. Everything has been super delicious. I do recommend you take your food to go. There is very little space for eating and half the dining area is taken up by supplies. It best just to take your food elsewhere. But a must try with it's huge delicious portions”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent”

“My neighborhood is always fresh. Oh, and there's Spanish speaking employees. It's Whittier. Always have a hard time getting a server or anyone who speaks Spanish in any food place here and all over la Habra. My better half is Spanish/Spain he likes to gossip, lol. He is a charmer, boys will be boys. Like I said, great service, great everything, and super clean. I always go during breakfast time. I like the breakfast burger, round tater tots, and only drink Coke Cola.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Asparagus appraiser was slightly salty, but very tasty. Sweet potato ravioli was great and NY steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We will be back!”

“We recently placed a large custom order with World Burger to feed over 150 players and coaches, and they did a phenomenal job! Everything was handled with professionalism and care—from coordinating the order to making sure every burger was fresh, hot, and delicious.
The quality and taste of their burgers are outstanding, and they didn’t miss a beat even with such a big group. Everyone was raving about how good the food was!
Highly recommend World Burger if you’re looking for great service and even better burgers. 🍔👏”
“I was told about this place from an out of town coworker that has relatives near by. The owner/cook was very hospitable and everything was surprisingly low priced. Tacos were very tasty and well balanced. I would go back definitely. The only thing I didn’t really like was the parking lot cause its entrance is very close to a busy blvd with fast traffic. You have to exit very carefully. I recommend either parking in the back, side street or back in.”
“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!”
“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 highly recommend these tacos cooked Sinaloa style. The meat is incredibly flavorful and I've been going to this place for a long time. I first tried these tacos when I was 15 years old, and now at 31, I still make it a point to visit this place. Not only is the food delicious, but the cleanliness of the restaurant is also impressive.”

“Great place, owner Mike is hands-on and will explain the beer selection (which he tries and chooses himself) and unique menu. Everytime I travel to CA I stop by. Burgers are great, beers are mostly local with some intriguing European beers tossed in. All the produce is freshly and locally sourced. Very unique retro interior and vibe. Check it out, one of a kind.”
“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 👍✅”
“The food and drinks are bomb! It took a while to make the food but it was worth it. Nice seating area but the people at the counter seemed cold and a bit anti social... but I'm not going there to make friends I guess.”

“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!”
“Hooked on Coffee is a cozy local gem that serves great coffee and a nice selection of bakery items. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. There’s plenty of parking, and it’s conveniently located right on Main Street — perfect for a quick stop or a relaxing break.
Sadly, the shop recently experienced a break-in, which is disheartening for such a hardworking local business. We really need to support more mom-and-pop coffee shops like this one — so if you’re in the area, drop by, grab a coffee and a pastry, and show them some love.
Overall, Hooked on Coffee offers great coffee, tasty baked goods, and a genuinely positive vibe.”

“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!”
“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.”
“Beautiful ambiance Good Food and Good Drinks The GM Alex was very friendly and hospitable Thank You Alex We will be back!”
“Very very delicious. If you like seafood this is the place. I love fish, my personal favorite is Cat fish and Cod. Shrimp is great too.

“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”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”

“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.”
“Great food! Highly recommend!”
