New American Restaurants near Santa Fe Springs, CA

“Best $2.00 I spent all year. Where can you eat, drink, listen to music and buy pretty much anything all in one spot? Let me tell you, it's the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet.Parking sucks unless you park way in the back in the off site lot and enter thru the back entrance. Most of the vendors are permanently stationed in their own space here. Plenty of fresh fruit, bakery items, candy, clothes, shoes, hats. They sell animals and an abundance of random things. I purchased some Croc charms at a $1.00 each, bulk candy bags at 3 for $10.00. I found a new hat and some things I didn't need.There is live music on weekends. The Doors cover band was what caught my attention. Pretty cool place to relax, get exercise and enjoy the sun.Food and drinks can be expensive.“

“A David Chang restaurant in LA. I've been to his Momofuku restaurant in NYC and loved it so I naturally had to try Majordomo.You have to plan ahead to reserve the short rib special and it is amazing. They cut it tableside and serve it lettuce, kitchen, and radishes. Such a good balance of flavors but the prime rib by itself is very flavorful and smoky.The Bing is also a must with the cultured butter and honey. This is seriously addictive. We also had the mussels with the crispy rice which was also delicious.Overall, the vibe of the restaurants was great and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Exquisite ambience, innovative food and nice service! Went there for the dinner on Valentine’s and it was worth every penny. The dishes are really innovative and still have that touch of Indian food. Apt and balanced spices. Loved the way they have put in so much efforts in improvising the dishes.I ordered butter chicken pot pie, garlic naan, dum biryani, death by chocolate.Dessert was a 3/5 though, it wasn’t really that tasty.“

“Been wanting to try The Mustard Seed in Cerritos for a while & was not disappointed. This is a great option for anyone looking for healthy, flavorful vegan meal. Savannah was very friendly & helped in deciding our order. We ordered the taco bowl, Happy Hawaiian bowl, & a wet burrito. Slightly pricey, but the quality of the fresh ingredients & quantity was good. Met Phillip the owner, who talked to all his customers & said he's working on bfast & new additions to the menu. Can't wait to try them & I would definitely recommend The Mustard Seed for anyone looking for Vegan options.“

“The food was so delicious. I recommend the chorizo and frijoles. We had two servers one was exceptional however the other server made us very uncomfortable with his aggressive, bad attitude and rude behavior. I'd like to say I would come back but if I saw him I would RUN!“

“First time trying this place, I brought my Aunt and wife for lunch and the ambiance is great open concept with heaters outside if it's cold but the decor is great also the music playing gets you in that relaxing mood. Service is all about the customers and if you have any questions everyone is willing to help. Menu is great because everything is made fresh and if you get the app while you are there, they have a point system and getting points also gives you certain items either free or on a discount. I got the app and in return we received free order of fries, they were delicious they also gave us free fried chips and pickles they made there and I'm not a fan of pickles but they might have changed that because I couldn't stop eating them. My wife and Aunt had the Southwestern chicken salad looked very good and I had the chopped chicken salad that was very tasty as well. To drink we all had the blackberry lemonade and it was very good. I can honestly say we will be back again and try other items on their menu. I didn't get to take pictures of my wife's and aunt's salad I was to busy eating mine, haha. Employees here are all about customer service, thank you for your service my family and will be back again!“

“What a hidden gem! Ample parking and a beautiful space. Who would've known there's a great spot in this business area? Service was awesome! And everyone was very friendlThe drink menu was so diverse and they even have large batch cocktails to go. The food menu has something for everyone. I liked that there was breakfast and pastries along with lunch items.We got two bloody Mary's, a cold brew, salad, soup, burger and sandwich. Which came out to about $80ish before tips. Everything was so good! I want to go back to try more.“

“I fkn love this place! We have been coming to The Cauldron since 2019 and every year it's like the first. Everything about this spot is magical and intriguing. The drink are mouth watering and the food is delicious. We fall in love with this place and each other all over again every year.“

“This bar has all the right games at any given time. Great place! Football playoffs were showing on every TV outside of the bar. Another the end. One maybe two screens were dialed to NASCAR. For the most part, Our server was attentive and she would ask us how are doing. Her instinct The menu was substantial. I choose the dip if I remember correctly. Awesome sandwich. The nacho were LOADED with various meats and copious amounts of cheese. Worth checking out if are visiting Whittier.“

“Came here on a recommendation. We wanted a place to eat and have a few cocktails. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outside patio has heaters. There were also several large groups. Our waitress was incredibly helpful. We had Brussel sprouts to start. Ordered the halibut and the seabass. The pistachio tiramisu wasn’t quite what we expected and didn’t finish it.“

“Meet my friend for her birthday lunch and we had the place to ourselves....Our service for spectacular...Definitely get the "Diva" Martini...We will be meeting there again for sure...Can't say enough great things about this place....Parking: Great, lots of it & very close....“

“Love these burgers! Fresh, well seasoned, well portioned for the price. The Hawaiian burger is my favorite with the seasoned or sweet potato fries. ? They also offer you specialty sources that take their burgers to the next level. The portion is always generous here. The customer service is a little bland but you go for the food so it's totally worth it. 1000 times yes to So-Cal burgers.Parking: The parking lot is shared with other stores in the shopping center but you always find parking they have a big parking lot.“

“Visiting from out of town and found this place. Needed vegetarian options and they definitely have some. Had egg and soy chorizo burrito and fruit cup. It was delicious. Great service, busy but still attentive. Bought a tofu and soy chorizo wrap with homemade chips to have later on and it was great too. Definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch.“

“I was there right when it opened and had the best experience, everything was perfect and definitely will be going again. For the first time everything about a place complimented everything the staff were super helpful, the food was amazing, the drinks were nice and cheap, and the atmosphere was phenomenal.“

“First time coming here and despite a small mistake on my order, Aldo who attended me as cashier went out of his way to make it right!. There was a young lady working the back kitchen area who also went above and beyond to make sure my party had a great experience overall. I enjoyed the food, taste was on point, ordered a variety of items such as wings, egg n bird sandwich, grilled chicken avocado bowl, Mac salad, and banana dessert. Definitely coming back, staff was professional, and friendly.“

“We went to the Jay Bird's location in the Long Beach industrial park food hall. It was a weekday around lunch, so the place was packed with employees of the surrounding business. With the many options, it's easy to be distracted, but Jay Bird's should be your go to spot. They started to really grow a couple years ago and their food and service is why. Each time we've gone, we experience impeccable service. This time around, we ordered the Mac Daddy, which is a friend chicken sandwich loaded with mac n cheese. While it might seem heavy, the cheese sauce is surprisingly light and doesn't overpower the sandwich. It adds a delicate creaminess and great flavor to the sandwich. The chicken is juicy and cooked to a nice level of crispiness. The crinkle cut fries are not a home run, but they're seasoned well and I don't have any complaints. They have a small counter area for dining, but there are tables around the warehouse that are shared amongst the other restaurants. The staff was friendly and they were quickly making the food. Jay Bird's is always consistent at their various locations and my go to "chain" for a fried chicken sandwich.“

“It was such a nice place to find while walking my pup's vet appt. Pet friendly. Happy hour Thursday. Beer: Pizza Port CA honey was smooth. The fish tacos were light, crunchy, and full of flavor. The service was very accommodating and helpful.“

“So seriously why people aren't talking about the spiciness of the chicken. It burns so much and I love spicy food. This chicken is like an abusive relationship that we keep coming back for more and you can't get away from. It's really really good though.I didn't know if it's possible to have different levels of spiciness? I definitely got the arson in your mouth special spicy special. This chicken should be on the TV show " Hot ones"if it hasn't already. And no I'm not complaining about the spiciness I absolutely love it. " Tastes so good it makes you wanna smack yo mama" (quote from the movie "Friday after Next ")“

“Visit the hanger often but this was my first time trying Plaid Sheep. The cashier was so friendly and nice! (Ear plugs, knit beanie.) Such great customer service. Really enjoyed the soup and sandwich (grilled American cheese with grilled onions.)Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian grilled cheese with vegan cheese.Parking: Lots of parking and some ev chargers on north side.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to get in, but I don't think they have automatic doors. But the whole facility is on the first floor, and tables can accommodate wheel chairs.“

“After bowling a couple games, I decided to stop in Cal Bowl Coffee Shop for a bite to eat. Went with something simple and healthy. A salad with the works. After placing my order (I was the only customer) I started wondering what was taking so long. Grab the salad out of the fridge and serve. Much to my surprise, the guy made the salad there on the spot. Fresh ingredients, including bacon, turkey, cheese, crisp fresh veggies and slices of egg! No pre-made salad sitting for days ... made there on the spot, and wow! Excellent. Seems everything is pretty much made this way. Definitely worth a short wait because the food and flavor is rewarding. AND my order was just a salad. LoL. Will be back to sample some of the special doughnuts and a cooked meal. Don't let the 'cafe' fool you, this is quality dinning.“

“We have been here at least a dozen times over the last few weeks due to our house being renovated while staying at a local hotel.Everything from the breakfast to dinner and their beer selection has been amazing. Our favorites are the Chicken Caprese, Reuben and the Miso Salmon. Their fries and desserts are great too!“

“This is one of my favorite locations! we have been here a few times and decided to sit at the bar this time and Beth was phenomenal! Her attitude was everything she made our experience the best one and we cant wait to go back!! If you go to this location look for Beth at the bar or wherever shes at!“

“The waitress was excellent, and the mozzarella sticks I had never had any like these crunchy, crispy and just soooo delicious. Quesadilla with chicken was just as delicious too. Live music was Super Duper main vocals her voice was prefect, we will be going back soon.“

“Did not know this place existed. I've been to the driving range multiple times and this is the first time I see this place. Service is quick, food is good but the best thing is their beer prices! No better way to enjoy golfing than enjoy a nice cold draft beer with a view.“

“I brought the family for lunch to eat before going to the movies. I'd give 10 STARS if it was possible! Sublime experience all the way around. It was my wife's first time, but Steven was as patient and helpful as possible with our questions. We had regular Buffalo Wings, Dragon, Tai Chile and Jamaican Jerk. All 4 flavors were delicious. The dry rub on the Jamaican Jerk was perfect. Will definitely be back! The seasoned fries are the bomb!“

“I had SUCH a good experience here! A lovely small business to support rather than going to a Denny's or IHOP. The service was so great and it's a nice and homey restaurant. The food was SPECTACULAR. The crepes were so good I got an extra order to go! I've been eyeing this place ever since it opened and had no idea it got so lively in the mornings! It's a great place to take your family out to eat and their menu is quite large! We got the Paris Crepe Combo (w/eggs and bacon), Fresona Crepe, Jamaica Juice and Iced Blended coffee. I also ordered a paris crepe and hobo skillet to go and can attest to quality to-go orders as well as dine in! I will definitely be coming back here everytime I'm back in the area.“

“A quiet gem on the 2nd floor of Nordstroms. Even though it is a little odd to order and pay for a full-service meal with the hostess before sitting at a table, the food is really worth the visit. I ordered the Heirloom Tomatoes and Burrata as an appetizer. I think it needed to be seasoned a bit more appropriately, at least with a sprinkle of salt on the burrata. I followed it with a French Dip sandwich on a parmesan baguette served with a rich au jus and it was served with salt & pepper crush french fries and kalamata olive aïoli on the side. Great lunch!“

“I stopped by the market across the street to use the ATM before coming to this delicious cash-only drive-thru. Service was friendly and so fast. The food was great. I spent under $20 for a full chicken, a dozen tortillas, medium rice, and medium beans. Two kinds of salsa were also included. This ended up being about four meals for me! I hope I work near you all again soon so that I have an excuse to stop by for another meal.Parking: Parking is behind the building.“

“I've been wanting to try this place out at LBX. I'm Filipino and I noticed they had some Filipino things on the menu. I called in today to try their Filipino Brunch and I sensed some hesitation in the person's voice. Come to find out, this location is turning into an Italian restaurant but they were so kind to make me a Filipino Brunch to-go; their last one ever! They were so kind and I'm bummed it's changing but I left with a smile and a blessed heart.“

“Main chick is probably the best hot fried chicken restaurants I’ve been to & this spot does it right.I just ordered a tender and leg quarter both at medium spice with lots of mc sauce. They were both cooked perfectly, tender juicy and full of flavor. The mc sauce really adds that balance and it was an amazing lunch.I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. Parking is plentiful but don’t know what it’s like during peak times.“

“I had an event here for the first time for our youth football team and I want to thank the entire staff especially Jaime, Marcelo, and DJ Anthony for making our event extra special. You all were amazing and accommodating to our needs and special requests. Also thank you Jim for allowing us to have our boys Game Truck there. I truly appreciate you all. I will definitely be booking another event with you soon. Thank you again so much to all the staff!!! You guys are amazing!“
