“Service was fast and excellent, the ambiance was fascinating and really makes for a special evening, the drinks were so fun to watch them make, smoked drinks especially. The patio was large and lots of seating. The food was fresh and delicious. Great place for a date or night out with friends !“

“Endroit hyper typique ! Bonne musique, cocktails d’un excellent niveau et à un prix tout à fait honnête, tous les classiques sont dispo et le barman tient la corde niveau cordes vocales !! Excellente carte de dîner ! Nous n’avons pas testé le grill … seul regret de la soirée. Il faut qu’on y retourne, absolument“

“I recently stopped by The Cauldron for drinks and appetizers, and it did not disappoint! The highlight of the evening was definitely the French onion soup—it was rich and flavorful, truly stealing the show. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were delicious. The charcuterie board was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, and the inclusion of black cheese added a fun Halloween touch. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend I enjoyed it all on the patio.“

“Definitely recommend. Walked in and instantly loved the decor and vibes. The bartender was super friendly and amazing. The drinks were delicious and strong just how I love them. We went on a crafting and karaoke night.“

“I love this place. It's friendly, the bartender is an absolute sweetheart, the KJ is amazing, and they don't over serve and have overly drunk patrons there amd harassing other customers. Karaoke here is a blast and the KJ is very fair with the lineup. This is my new spot to hang after a long week. ❤️❤️❤️“

“We spent a few hours here on New Year's Eve. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. The owner greeted us and offered us snacks.
They have a live DJ spinning turntables, bumping music from the past to present. There's an outdoor patio in the back.
The drinks were tasty and affordable. Try the Adios MthrFckr. Bomb!“

“We recently celebrated by husband's 40th in the semi private room at this location and it was a fantastic experience. Andrew was incredibly helpful throughout planning stages with regular email exchanges and phone calls to ensure we were aligned in the food expectations and overall experience. The night of the event he was there onsite to ensure we had everything we needed and Savannah oversaw the service. She was impeccable and our 30+ guests were treated with great care and attention. The space was lovely and the overall experience was truly exceptional. Thank you for making this event so special for us!“

“It’s a wonderful place to hang“

“Best bar in California hands down!“

“Just ate the most amazing chicken sandwich and the Best Onion Rings EVER! !!!!!“

“Love this place. Great atmosphere and friendly people.“

“A dive bar with a pool table and karaoke (most nights). Great place for basic cocktails and beer in the bottle or can. Some nights karaoke is very busy and you'll probably only get one song in. But, I always have a fantastic time! And the staff are all very friendly so make sure to tip well!“

“This is the spot if you need a good, cold drink & a chill, old school vibe. I don’t like bars that have windows & Poor Denny’s is old school in that regard. Ever since Ember’s Lounge closed down, this has been my spot. It’s cash only, but there’s a ATM machine there. I love the digital jukebox that allows you to play all kinds of music. The bartenders are always nice & they have wonderful hands on the pours. ? Good vibes & mellow times here.“

“Good times, good drinks, a fun group of people that make it a party!“

“Great service. Decor was chic. Service on point, not rushed. Great place for a date.“

“Great venue to see British Steal on their monthly appearance heavy metal foundry“

“Always a good time love this place“

“Bartender on Sundays is chill“

“Sun light hours, this is a neighborhood bar with 50% of patrons being regulars. Staff knows everyone, and it's very welcoming. Come at night if you want a good drink and a loud dive bar. Pool table, golden tee, and they just added 2 dart boards. Live music a few nights a week. Cheap prices here don't mean cheap drinks.“

“I don’t know if they serve food, don’t really care because it’s a bar so they have all the things I’m looking for. The bartenders are really nice, it’s a great crowd of people that u can feel at ease with and the drinks are delicious. I like the location because it’s by all business that close early so there’s plenty of parking at night. There’s a Mexican food taco stand on the corner if u get hungry. They have a clean and well lit outside area for smokers. I thought it was a great bar in Long Beach“

“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“

“Great little neighborhood bar. One pool table 2 electronic dart boards and lots of fun people. Go see Renee Friday and Sunday nights she’s the bomb.“

“Came here with the boys on a Saturday night of debauchery. Always drive by, never went in. Decided to visit instead of the bikini bar across the street. Very pleased, excellent prices, awesome regulars(from what I could tell). Very chill and welcoming. They had karaoke going which was fun. Cash only though.“

“I stopped in once on a Sunday afternoon. Good service. Interior is decent, spacious, and has plenty of seating for when the crowd shows up. There a couple TV screens at the bar, which is fine for watching the Dodgers. Bartender is friendly and professional. Clientele was also friendly, laid back, and nice to hang out with.“

“Karoeke night was Fun! They have a fancy way of scheduling their list to sing (screen recording included). The bar has a pool table, chill vibes, super friendly staff (cash only) and overall friendly patrons.Oh and Olga's Cocina food truck stopped by and their food is amazing! I didn't get a picture of the food I ate it too fast lol.“

“Great local bar, drinks are affordable service is friendly and tvs have local sports. Perfect day care for Dad’s. Ladies leave your husbands in good hands!“

“It’s cool to drink cold beer and mingle with locals“

“Bartender (Madlynn?) was very pretty and welcoming. Vibe was what I expect at a sportsbar and plenty of parking. When the Angels game started, I asked and they immediately threw the game on. No Complaints. If it was closer to home, I would be here all the time.“

“no food just regular little snacks. If you wanna eat something eat something before you go, but Roberta is an absolute Saint. She may seem kind of direct to you, but she’s very kind and a very wonderful person and a great bar Owner. It’s a really nice cool chill atmosphere to be out. There is one of my favorite places to be at without stupid people being around. Roberta makes it happen.“

“Great new management! Good priced stiff drinks and great service!!! I’ll be there once I find more days off!!! Thank you George for turning this place around and all your hard work!!“

“Bday! Great place and brought me a cupcake with candle!!!“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“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!“

“Hi love it it it it it it it“

“HOW I GOT BACK MY HUSBAND I am sharing this testimony to partners suffering in their relationships because there is an enduring solution. My husband left me and our 2 kids for another woman for 3 years. I tried to be strong just for my kids but I could not control the pains that torment my heart. I was hurt and confused. I needed a help, so i did a research on the internet and came across a site where I saw that Dr Ozole spell caster, can help get my lovers back. I contacted him and he did a special prayer and spells for me. To my surprises, after some days, my husband came back home. That was how we reunited again and there was a lot of love, joy and peace in the family. You can as well contact Dr. Ozole , a powerful spell-caster for solutions on his page today #drozolespellhome“

“Wonderful barstaff . Lovely place to chill and sup a few G&T’s“

“Came here for the halloween theme —since we were finally able to get a reservation in! First, I personally am very picky with my alcoholic drinks and this place made one of the BEST drinks I’ve ever had. I ordered the pumpkin punch, which I thought was going to be sweet but it was so uniquely sweet without being overpowering. I would recommend this to EVERYONE. Not only were the drinks immaculate but I absolutely loved the vibe & theme they had going for October. Great photo op, vibes, & drinks. If you can land a reservation, definitely check this cute place out.“

“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“

“Great food. Great service. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Place was clean.“

“Me encanto este lugar todo muy rico y muy atentos buen servicio“

“Food was good. They accommodated our large party.
Service wasn't so great. The atmosphere was nice and somewhat festive. Bathrooms need work. Too much tagging and graphite on the walls... No wait for the table because they don't do reservations so because of that we got there when it opens at 12pm...“

“Azabu Sushi – Whittier, CA
★ ★ ★ ★ ½ (I docked half a star purely out of spite because I can’t afford to eat here every day)

I walked into Azabu expecting the usual Whittier sushi experience: decent fish, questionable rice, and a lingering fear that the “spicy tuna” might just be yesterday’s salmon wearing hot sauce as war paint. Instead I was immediately hit with a vibe that says, “Yes, we know we’re in a strip mall next to a boba place, but we’re about to ruin you for grocery-store California rolls forever.”

Let’s start with the Salmon Carpaccio (the flat pizza-looking thing in the photo). Imagine if salmon had a glow-up, went to Coachella, and came back wearing citrus ponzu as body glitter and microgreens as a flower crown. It’s so pretty I almost felt bad eating it. Almost. Then I inhaled the entire plate in 45 seconds like a savage who’d never seen raw fish before. Zero regrets. The texture is silkier than my ex’s lies.

Next up: the Shrimp Gyoza in that dark, mysterious broth. These dumplings show up swimming in what I can only describe as “umami bathwater.” One bite and I involuntarily whispered “oh daddy” — which was awkward because I was on a date with my actual father. The wrappers have that perfect pan-seared crisp before collapsing into the sauce like they owe it money. I’d bathe in that broth if it weren’t socially unacceptable (and if the staff weren’t watching me like I’m one impulse away from grabbing a straw).

Portions are annoyingly civilized — translation: you’ll want to order three of everything and then lie about being full so you look refined. Pro tip: don’t. Just commit to the food coma. Your jeans will forgive you eventually.

Service is ninja-level attentive without being obnoxious. Our server knew the menu like he personally caught the fish at 4 a.m. while doing CrossFit. When I asked what was good he just smirked and said “everything,” which should’ve been arrogant but was 100% correct. Rude.

Ambiance? It’s dark, moody, and sexy in a way that makes you want to use chopsticks seductively even though you still hold them like a toddler with crayons.

Only complaint: the bill. It arrives looking innocent, then you realize you just paid Beverly Hills prices in a city where the biggest landmark is a 24-hour donut shop. Worth it? Absolutely. Will I be eating cup noodles for the next week? Also yes.

Verdict: Azabu is the sushi spot Whittier doesn’t deserve but desperately needed. If you’re still going to the conveyor-belt place down the street after eating here, I’m afraid we can no longer be friends. 9.5/10 — would sell a minor organ to come back tomorrow.“

“excelente customer service!! The food was amazing, not to say the portions were the best... A definitely must go and try.“

“Great crispy Brussels sprouts, slightly sweet with bacon, and I loved the bleu cheese on it so much!they must have been out of wine/ champagne glasses for my drink. It was happy hour during the week, not very busy. I’m an out of towner but would probably go again next time and try their sandwiches“

“I was at The Richland for the ASID Gala & thoroughly enjoyed the venue. The space is lovely & uniquely laid out with multiple areas & rooms. The food & service were terrific.“
