“thee best Japanese food in Whittier hands down. my family loves visiting Dakara weekly. so many favorites like crispy rice with spicy tuna, avocado fries and sweet shrimp. love this family owned restaurant.”
“Delicious food, good vibes, and friendly service. Wait times can get a bit longer when they're busy, but most days they can seat you right away and serve your food within 15 mins. Love that they have vegetarian/vegan options for most items on their menu, and the bottomless pho is always a hit.”

“The pancakes are out of this world ,the bacon 🥓 🍳 have good portions,the server was attentive and nice ,thank you Dyana God bless.”
“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!”

“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.”
“First time at Fuego Cravings, service was excellent. Made us feel welcomed. The food was amazing. Had the Cubana torta, great! Tangy sauce, good fusion of flavors.
Taquitos de papa were great, esquisitos. Guacamole and salsas were balanced and not too spicy.
Cheesecake came warm with a caramel dipping sauce.”
“We celebrated a birthday today and the food was excellent and The service was The BEST!! Washington & Rodrigo made this an experience we won't forget! We will definitely be back. Maybe for Sunday Brunch. We had the Chile Relleno/Taco combo, Chicken fajitas and the Mole burrito. Every plate was delicious! Almost forgot the Mango Margaritas and The SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! Thank you!!!”
“Went for Sunday brunch had their Taqitios and margaritas delicious. Server was a little over welmed when the place started getting busy it took about 30 minutes to get our check. But excellent place will definitely be back! Want to try their Enchiladas 😁”
“Thank you staff, this was our first time here. Hostess friendly, bar staff she was also friendly and made the best mock cocktails. Our server very professional and kind. The food was great. BBQ was so juicy, tender fall off the bone. Even the chicken fell off the bone. Great BBQ sauce nothing was over powering just great flavor. Thank you to the cooks who we dont see for your BBQ skills. 🫡😋”

“Absolutely recommend this place! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was excellent. I had the chile relleno chimichanga, and my son got the chicken and cheese enchiladas. Both were really good, and the horchata was *the good kind*. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and nicely presented, and the staff made us feel welcome. Great food, great service, and a great overall experience. We’ll definitely be back! 🌮😋”

“Wow! I called today, Sunday, last minute for a party of 12. We were accommodated and seated within 30 minutes. Rashad the manager was our waiter. He was kind, personable, accommodating, just amazing. The staff that assisted Rashad also very nice. The food was outstanding. My party could not pick a favorite. However, we reordered the fried rice and Wagu Dumplings. You cannot go wrong with any item on the menu. The atmosphere is beautiful and intimate. Always a good time and great vibes. The owner is consistently pleasant and gracious. Highly recommend! Check out Nyx as well.”

“The food is really good!!! More specifically the beef bowl is delicious but its pricey roughly $15.00 for a regular bowl
and $20.00 large bowl.
Plus a drink gets over priced. But good food is expensive. If they adjust the prices this place could see way more volume.”
“Came for my first afternoon tea experience and thought the set up was amazing. I attended the Brides of Dracula tea and what a great spin! It was just unfortunate that I didn’t realize there were other drinks I could have ordered. The bites were all very tasty and filling too. Would definitely return to try out their full menu.”
“From the moment you approach the patio, you can tell the place is well cared for and thought out. Very clean inside with lots of energy put in by the owner to create an experience and place to relax and have a meal. When I complimented her on how the place looks, she said it's her mission to make it feel that way. It was toward the end of the evening so her and her son were taking trip after trip to keep all the patio plants alive during this heat wave. In an unassuming strip mall, with a touch of cute design to make it a cut above any other local Mexican restaurant worthy of any special occasion.”
“The small restaurants were very good and clean. I also loved the food there! A little overpriced but great food. Overall would recommend to eat with friends”
“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 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”
“Cool little 24 hours spot, but what’s different about this place is the quality of food. The ingredients were fresh, and the meats tasted good. IMO the food tasted much more authentic than the other 24 hours spots I’ve been to (which I can’t mention bc they are actual names of people). Also, they have good Chorizo which is pretty hard to come by… pause.”
“I’m a regular at this Del-taco , been coming here for over 16 years , excellent customer service restroom clean , food is cooked well hot ,the epic burrito, Carnitas Loaded Fries are good , also the get a lot pack , my recommendation definitely my favorites on the menu .”
“Great service and very sociable environment. Bartenders are very friendly and attentive. I would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed, chill environment to have a drink and socialize.”

“Ok, this place is amazing…they do stuff other cafes don’t, like put coffee ice cubes in your drink so it doesn’t get watered down. They also have amazing drink items and food items that are literally all on-point. Try their phat cookies too which are so underpriced it’s redic - the plug got nothing on these… the owner is always experimenting too and totally open to feedback, true Whittier community member and spot!”
“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 love this place we don't have these places in Dallas I fly down here just to come here sometimes great food nice Vibe environment staff is great it feels like you're in a neighborhood bar like the TV show Cheers and you know everybody and everybody knows your name it feels like I'm at home too! Cheers!!”
“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!!!”
“My coworker recommended this place after I requested Thai food lunch. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, the waitress greeted us with a smile and was very friendly. The food was delicious and had such great flavor that I wanted to order an extra meal for dinner tonight. Everything was good and the avocado rolls is now a favorite of mine. I will be having lunch there again next week.”

“Maverick Coffee in Whittier gets four stars from me!
The place is super cute—it's actually a bike shop that also features a coffee stall inside. Their menu is definitely limited; they don't have a lot listed, but they do offer a Thai iced tea. The tea is home-brewed, which is a really nice touch! They also have a refrigerator stocked with a few different kinds of canned sodas. No food!
The only real downside is that there is no seating available. It's strictly a get-your-drink-and-go kind of place, not a cafe where you can sit down and hang out for a while. On the plus side, parking is very easy. Since it's right on a street corner, there's quite a large parking lot, which I'm assuming is built to accommodate all the cyclists who ride over.
Overall, it was a nice experience and a cool spot to grab a quick drink!”
“Just came by for a leisurely Labor Day early lunch and Manny did not disappoint. We ordered two #3 combos, so 6 meats and 8 sides for 4 people. We had the brisket, tri-tip, beef ribs, baby back ribs, pulled pork, and the chicken. For the sides, we had 3 smoked beans, potato salad, 2 cole slaw, and 2 mac salads. It was nothing short of a feast! The meats were well-smoked, flavorful, juicy, and Manny was as kind as he was generous and attentive. He threw in 4 free sodas, free bread, a free side (we went with an extra cole slaw), and threw on a free kielbasa as well! We couldn't finish everything and the food we took home would easily make for an extra meal for all of us. We drove all most an hour, in the rain, from Torrance; this was not our first dining experience here, and it was just this kind of generosity and service that we experienced the first time that brought us back and will continue bringing us back as long as he stays in business.
Many thanks again Manny, it definitely was the perfect way to kick off a relaxing Sunday; we came for good food, good service, a good experience overall and you did not disappoint. Much love and respect!”
“love there food thank you sobrina Martha love for ever and ever”

“My peanut butter frozen yogurt, especially with the cheesecake bites. This was well worth quitting my semi vegan practices. was delightful, and I haven’t seen color changing spoons anywhere else, they also have some pretty cool attractions to visit while waiting for ice cream like a trinket box and a claw machine. Thank you so much.”
“My favorite place in Uptown Whittier! Great for a quick bite or cup of coffee, and unique gifts in the shop. If you're lucky, you can get a parking spot right out in front, but usually won't need to park more than a block away on the busiest days. The staff are all super nice, too.”
“I love this place. Great portions and great taste. I love the fact that they always have fresh food. They will ask if you want fresh food. Do not underestimate the drinks. They are delicious and at a great price. Love love this place. Best Chinese food around the area. Hands down.
And they have this fried chicken bites that is 😘chefs kiss. Ask for taste. They will let you sample the food.”

“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.”
“Food is delish. Places is a little bit outdated however, the food and the price you can't beat it anywhere. The people are super nice. The food is really good.”

“We ordered the gold crunch roll, jalapeno tempura roll, and the curry udon. Overall, everything was flavorful and fresh. I really liked the crunch roll but the udon was amazing. I think you can pass on the jalapeno roll. The service was good too our server was really nice.”
“It’s very calm and the food is very good but I think the best part was the server Ariel. She was very nice and always had a smile on I have been here many times but she has been the best waitress by far.”

“We love going there at least 3 to 4 times a week everyone is really friendly and welcoming especially the manager Velia Campos she told me about the air oven and we love the chicken highly recommend Whittier Denny’s”
“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.”
“The kitchen staff is top notch! It is apparent the kitchen staff takes great pride in the delivery of your plate. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Guy Fieri raid this joint! Live music and drinks too!!!”
“This place is off the hook you must try it out it is a very nice place to go to just relax and have a good time with friends you can also book your birthday party there.”

“Got the biggest one they can make, lol. My birthday gift to myself, and no I didn't eat it all to myself. If I could I would. That's how delicious it is. But I did share with my family. We enjoyed this burrito, a must try to whoever hasn't had it before. Perfect.”
“never received our appetizer, food was cold my baked potatoe was dry with very little butter and forgot to put the sour cream on it.”
“We ordered delivery for my son's birthday today. 10/10, the food was delicious 😋. Delivery was right on time. We all said the same thing. We will order again from Madres. Absolutely delicious, eclectic style and yet keeping the Mexican flavors. Thank you to the cooks who put our orders together. To the staff that care to call you when you did not specify the way you wanted your eggs. I recommend this establishment and ask you let us know how they did for you.”
“So this place had been here for as long as I can remember. It's dungy inside, basic no frills no thrills spot for a quick inexpensive bite of your craving Chinese food. Definitely better to go. The food though I gotta say is not that bad. Definitely better than any other Chinese food spot near by.”

“I went to Aloha Stacks for breakfast on July 3rd. When I got there the line was out the door, but it moved pretty quickly. We ordered and got a table very easily. The food came very quickly and the wait staff was very attentive, checking to see if we needed anything several times. I had the chicken katsu and waffles and my companion had strawberry crepes and a side of kalua pork. All were delicious. It was very busy but they didn't rush us out. Parking is difficult...I parked on the street nearby.”

“First time ordering and I was thoroughly impressed. My pizza was ready and waiting for me before schedule, the service was prompt and polite, and the food was delicious. Got a medium Margherita pizza and it was one of the best I've had. The crust is thin and crispy, and I can tell they're using quality ingredients. Additionally, they're pretty reasonably priced considering the cost of food these days. This will be my go-to pizza spot going forward.”
“My wife and I came here on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised. First time here and instantly turned into our new Thai go to restaurant. The food was excellent, huge portions, and great pricing. Good thing we came at 5pm because the crowd filled up the place pretty quickly. You can't go wrong here, just don't come for dinner rush hour!”
“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!!”
“Best Bar in Whittier!! Amazing bartenders!!”
