“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!”
“This was the first time trying WezzArepas and it did not disappoint! The arepas were perfectly crisp and cheesy with a hint of sweet! The empanada was flavorful with a generous amount of chicken. Lastly, the Salchipapas could easily feed 2 people. It was generously topped with lots of flavorful ingredients. We will def be back!”
“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”
“What a delightful meal! We ordered the Honey Garlic Steak and Shrimp as everyone recommended and it was PHENOMENAL and my baby daughter almost finished her Breakfast JR because she was so full and definitely enjoyed it. Everything was fresh, thoughtfully prepared and truly enjoyable. Highly recommend this place and would also recommend more franchises throughout LA.”
“Beautiful ambiance Good Food and Good Drinks The GM Alex was very friendly and hospitable Thank You Alex We will be back!”
“REN was an amazing bartender. Her knowledge of drinks and her positive attitude will definitely make me come back
She is an amazing bartender and deserves a commendation for for dedication.”
“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!!”

“Had a great first experience dining at Lucky Pig. Food was amazing! We tried a variety of dishes from Hire Katsu, Ball Katsu, Omurice, and Katsu Sando. All items were outstanding! Service was great, and the restaurant was clean and well kept. We will be back! Highly recommend giving them a try!”
“My sweet husband treated me to coffee and pastries for my birthday, and it was such a thoughtful surprise! He brought back two lattes: the sweet corn latte, topped with a unique corn foam, and the Tiger latte. The sweet corn latte was surprisingly different, but I found the corn foam paired really well with the coffee's flavors. The Tiger latte, on the other hand, tasted like a classic, regular latte—good, but nothing too extraordinary. I’m not a coffee connoisseur or daily drinker, so I just go for what tastes good, and both drinks definitely fit the bill!
He also picked up a couple of bread options: a cream cheese garlic bread and a hot dog croissant. Both were delicious and made for a fun treat alongside the coffee. I hope to visit this coffee shop myself sometime soon to try more of their drinks and baked goods.”
“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.”

“The food here reminds me of home, their chilaquiles were sooooo good, the are more true to Mexican style and their pancakes are omg to die for. The staff is so sweet, they try to make your experience feel like you are home this became easily one of my favorite places to have breakfast at in Whittier”
“Been looking for a place like this for a long time... finally found it.. Hidden little gem behind Subway! Great bento boxes that have meat teriyaki, California rolls and more!
For a first time I got the chicken teriyaki bowl because I don't really care for the veggies, but when you get the plate meals, you get a lot of salad with the meal! Their salad dressing looks like ranch dressing (in case you were curious). I have had both the chicken and beef but to me, the chicken is the best. The staff were all friendly and provided great customer service. Both interior and exterior are kept very clean and there's plenty of parking.”
“Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful folks working there. Great food and drinks.”
“Always looking for a good bottle shop and this one had it all. The overall vibe was cool with plenty to choose from. Staff was nice and helpful giving recommendations. Would like to come back and check out their tap selection as I saw they had some great stuff. Beer heaven!”

“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.”
“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!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Not one of my favorite place, but the coffee is good. I found another coffee place that’s so much better but the coffee was OK. Customer service was great but there’s no parking that’s the toughest challenge but overall I did give them a 5 Stars for the customer service.”
“Found this hidden gem in Whittier! Tried the dumplings and they were authentic and delicious! They also have a lot of different items such as noodle dishes and fried appetizers. Ordered the fried potstickers, dumplings, and sesame noodle, definitely recommend the potstickers they were so good!”
“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 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.”
“We have been living in Whittier for over a year now and honestly the pizza here is so bomb! I was recommended pizzamania and even though they had more options I like the pizza here better! The crust is so fluffy & the All in one topping pizza is so good. Everything tastes fresh they are always helpful and friendly when we call to order. They are busy but no one has ever been rude to us.”
“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.”
“Thai food in this neighborhood have all fallen for some reason, and I thank this place for opening to pick up where they lack. I think it's great they came into a location that has very mediocre Thai restaurants around with decent ambiance but low quality food. Instead of focusing on a dine in experience, this place is all about delicious Thai take out.
The drunken pad noodles and spaghetti are great and Thai level spicy.
The pineapple fried rice is also delicious.
This is my new go to Thai spot.”
“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.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is my first time going and I was lost I was looking for a standalone restaurant. This is inside a little mini mall atmosphere building I would have never found it if it hadn't been I was meeting a friend. By the way the food the barbecue is awesome it is unbelievably good The meat was just so tender and that barbecue sauce was absolute heaven on earth. I love the atmosphere. It was so nice and cool inside parking was a bit of a nightmare but it was worth it to have lunch at the pit and bull. Bathrooms provided an indoors very clean great atmosphere there's a lot of picnic tables set up where you can pick what restaurant food you want pizza or barbecue or there's a bakery in there that has the most awesome desserts I got a cherry pie and an apple pie They were $9 They were a little mini pies. All I can say is I highly highly did I mention highly recommend this place It is unreal awesome 👍🏽😎”
“I love this new mexican food place. It is so good and authentic. It is like the food I grew up eating, from not only the food we made growing up but just like the food from where my family is from. I missed eating enchiladas so much. They're my favorite! Thank you so much to the cook and the cashier for helping me! I wish the best to this restaurant, and I hope people recognize how amazing and yummy their food is :)”

“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!!!”

“Excellent Taste for there coffee. Home roasted coffee beans. Vanilla Latte 10 out of 10. Hazel nut Latte is 10 out of 10. Ron provides one of the best service for his customers. Keep up the good work for the Whittier community! Bring your own mugs or insulated travel mugs for a better taste.”
“Food always hits here, especially the Al Pastor tacos. Everything is freshly made there with amazing flavor. They have a table with enough condiments to add to the food you get. One time they got my order wrong and gave me 2 asada tacos instead of 2 Al Pastor tacos, they gladly fixed the issue and gave me the 2 Al Pastor tacos that I ordered and I kept the other 2 they gave me at first. I have lived in whittier my whole life and I can say that the food from this food truck is the best from any other food truck I've had.”
“*****ORDER FOOD WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR RESERVATION****
*****ORDER AHEAD FOR TAKE OUT ABOUT 2 Hours or More*****
Everything in New China is cooked on request, so the food is fresh. Some dishes can take an hour, two, or three hours to prepare. So order your food about one to two hours ahead when you want to pick it up, and they will prepare it for that time so it is hot off the wok.
We love this place. We discovered it earlier this month, in January 2025, and have already been twice as a group of six. We order way too much food to sample, which still comes under $30 per person.
This is the absolute freshest, tastiest Chinese food around. One of our couples has been eating Chinese around the Whittier area for over 30 years, and they were also there for the first time this month. They were jonesing to go back so soon. We still need to try the moo shu pork. I need to order that one 3 hours ahead of time.
One woman does everything out front, and two or three men cook in the back. The last time we arrived, two other couples were dining, and the service was excellent. That night, there was a notice on the door that said no drop-in take-out (see above about ordering ahead). Service can be slower if several groups arrive simultaneously, but the food is well worth it. If you want, you can take your time at this restaurant with a dinner lasting two or three hours and won't be rushed out. It's a great place to go as a group or a couple.”
“I love this place all the variety of plates are really good we ordered the 3 taquitos dorados and for dessert canela Nachos with ice cream and oh my God are really really god. Angela has and excelente customer service she recommended us this dessert thanks Angela for been nice and make our day better with your attentions. God Bless you! And guys don’t forget the cucumber agua Fresca is really good 😊.”
“Best pan dulce anywhere! I know a lot of us say that about our local bakeries. But this one takes the cake no pun intended... you will be havind flashbacks of a tender childhood memory when biting into the beautifully soft conchas. There’s definitely labor of love being served to customers here.”
“Great food prompt service and exceptional customer service
Parking: Nice location clean with plenty of parking offering dine in and take out
Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly with a kids menu that comes with crayons and activities
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible and accommodating”
“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!!!”
“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. The menu is plenty and the cooks are great the staff is very nice and helpful if you're unsure of what you want. Very clean environment and fast service. The price is right here not one of those high price places but good quality food. So come try it out seafood lovers you won't be sorry. As always happy eating 😋😋😋 and help out someone today, put a smile on someone's face it will definitely put a smile on your heart. 🙏🙏🙏”
“Food was pretty good... Over all cleanliness is bad, was there for pickup and in the 10 min of waiting, nobody cleaned off dirty tables... No clients thigh, who knows how long these tables sat like that... You know eating at places like this, you make a mess... Sidewalk right outside the doors is crazy filthy... How does manager not see this!??”
“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.”
“Wings, Spin fries, flat pizza ,nachos and drinks never a dull moment 😊”

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.”
“Definitely going back food was amazing”
