We always come here when we visit the area - we love it! The food is delicious. Get the French Toast dish & Thai coffee. Recommend both!

Asked for a couple glass of waters, was told not available and purchased bottles, to then sit right next to their free water dispenser, lol. The pay before receiving any service and prompt with tip is a bad sign for a sit down establishment. Had the Monte Cristo and was ok at best, not worth the price. Potatoes are horrible. You can taste the metal from the tap water they boil it in. They definitely boil it and fry it on the flat top to crisp it up. It was very under seasoned. I also read a review where the bacon tastes like cigarettes, lol. That would also describe the potatoes. The eggs also lacked any salt and tasted bland. Why were there no salt and pepper at the table or offered any sauces? The Dirty Chai was milk with a hint of Chai that came out lukewarm. Not necessarily their fault, but homeless and trash around the establishment made for an eerie walk from car. Don’t understand the high ratings, maybe it’s for the lunch items.

Super cute and quiet breakfast spot. You can tell they put a lot of care into their food and space. Everything is so yummy and the workers are so kind!

Phenomenal!!!
I saw them on IG and decided to come by.
Excellent experience!
I got lucky I went when it was empty seeing reviews that it could take a while to be seated was what concerned me the most with 2 babies. It was 6 adults and my 2 babies and the owner hurried and put 2 tables together for us. We got our drink orderes first and they where all amazing. I wasnt much of a fan of the butterscotch cold brew but we also got :
-Caramel latte 8/10
-Thai tea 10/10
-Thai tea coffee w/ matcha foam 10/10
-Starburst lemonade 10/10 (leeche, passion fruit and strawberry)
-Strawberry cucumber 9/10
Once we got our food we noticed how big the portions where and we where amazed by it but it didnt stop their ill have to admit this is the best chicken and waffles I have ever had!
Everything we got was honestly a 10/10 no complaints whats so ever!

I saw this place on TikTok. I loved how welcoming the owner was super friendly and attentive. The chicken and waffles were okay; nothing special. The sausage and gravy hit the spot. The country potatoes need more flavor, and the chicken sandwich was rated 5/10.

I moved away from Long Beach 3 years ago. I was going to this place since they opened. I have not be able to find a Monte Cristo like this anywhere in the US. Please if you could share the recipe with me, I gave up trying to find that flavor. I now live in MA and will will never be able to have it again.

Thai American Fusion Brunch in the heart of Long Beach, California!! It has a bit of charm!!

Traditional Brunch favorites with a Thai twist!!

We tried:
Crispy Fried Chicken Burger with a side order of sunny side egg (MUST-TRY)
Thai Tea Boba Pancakes
Mango Sticky Rice Pancakes
Japanese Chicken Curry
Butterfly Rose Lemonade
Strawberry Lemonade

They have a variety of coffee, teas, lemonades, mimosas and Thai iced coffees!!

EVERY bite is a burst of flavor!!

There’s a small outdoor area! So lovely with beautiful Bougainvillea. Gaby had the best customer service!! I can’t wait to go back!!!

There is a small parking on the side. There’s street parking.

Me and my fiancé moved to the area recently and decided to have brunch here and I'm so glad we did, the food was really good. My fiance got the baja baby skillet and he liked it, I ended up getting the mango sticky rice pancakes with a side of chicken, the area was so pretty and the food so flavourful, cant wait to come back and try out other menu items

Tried the monte Cristo and chicken biscuit. Both were phenomenal, chicken was so well seasoned and the house sauce took it to the next level

Brian Folks

Note that there is no table service - order at the counter. AWESOME food!

I saw Arize Bistro on TikTok with high reviews of their waffle and chicken sandwich. So knowing me...I was like I have to taste this so-called chicken and waffle sandwich.

As you walk in, there's only one menu in front of the cash register. After you place your order, you find a table and water.

In my humble opinion, the chicken lacked seasoning, and the waffle was dense and doughy. The crispy garlic tofu was sort of soggy and not crispy at all.

Will I be back...YES, Arize Bistro deserves a second visit.
