“Best food! great family atmosphere! very clean. excellent customer service.”
“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.”
“This is one of the best and only place we like to go. They are very friendly and best fresh sushi all around. it really feels like a small family enviroment”
“First time here and it met our expectations. It has a very romantic and luxurious atmosphere. The sensory experience was warm and elegant inside. Dim lighting, gentle music, and stylish decor. Food was delicate deliciousness in every bite! So many subtle flavors excellently combined to delight my tastebuds. We started with an Azabu Old Fashion and Lemon Drop Martini....perfectly crafted and served. For appetizers, we enjoyed: Wagyu Dumplings and Spicy Garlic Edamame. For our mains: Toro Uni sashimi (incredible!), and Salmon sashimi. Spicy Tuna and Albacore rolls and the Denver Wagyu Carpaccio (with Hot Stone). Desert: Ube Japanese Cheesecake! If you are looking for that perfect night out, enjoying delicious food in a warm romantic setting, you won't miss here. I will definitely be coming back!”

“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!”
“We recently placed a large custom order with World Burger to feed over 150 players and coaches, and they did a phenomenal job! Everything was handled with professionalism and care—from coordinating the order to making sure every burger was fresh, hot, and delicious.
The quality and taste of their burgers are outstanding, and they didn’t miss a beat even with such a big group. Everyone was raving about how good the food was!
Highly recommend World Burger if you’re looking for great service and even better burgers. 🍔👏”
“The food truck provided a warm and memorable dining experience. The staff greeted guests with genuine friendliness and professionalism. The menu had a wide selection of appealing choices, all of which were delivered hot and fresh. Meals were beautifully presented and full of flavor, clearly prepared with care. The atmosphere was lively and clean, adding energy to the dining experience. Drinks were brought quickly, and service remained attentive throughout. Every element of the visit felt smooth and enjoyable. The restaurant delivered excellence in both food and service, making it a place that guests will happily return to time and time again.”
“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”
“Came hungry, came thirsty, and came in need of a good spot to let my creativity flow. This is it. This place has it all. The ambiance gets you set to sit, relax, and unwind. The drinks are on point, delicious and well served. The service and welcoming environment is just the beginning. Food is gourmet, lighting is perfect, service is amazing, and the rest; well, come and find out for yourself. Great experience. I'll definitely be a returning visitor.”
“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!!”

“Solid spot for Japanese-Korean food in Whittier. The menu is small but focused which I like. We got the Cheese Katsu meal, Omurice, and Egg Sando. The Katsu was cooked well, not too greasy, very flavorful. The Omurice was my fave, fluffy and the sauce was really good. Another highlight was the Yuzu Panna Cotta we got for dessert. It was citrusy, not too sweet, great texture, we really enjoyed it. Their Matcha Yuzu-ade was refreshing as well. Good service and a relaxed atmosphere. We will be coming back to try some things we weren't able to fit in this time around.”

“Tried the tiger latte with a salt bread and passion fruit croissant.
Latte wasn't too bitter nor too sweet and a perfect recommendation.
If you're looking for something savory, flaky, with just the right amount of buttery deliciousness the salt bread is for you.
On the other spectrum if you want something more on the sweet side but still full of flaky texture the passion fruit croissant is the way to go. Don't forget to ask for it warmed up at the counter if you're enjoying it in the shop!”
“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!!!”
“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.”

“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!”
“Came to the fairly newly reopened El Bueno Gusto for dinner and happy that we did. As it was a nice night, we chose to sit in quaint patio area. We were brought out tasty chips and salsa and the attentive waitress took our drink order. Just fyi, beer and wine is only served inside.
We ordered the fish tacos and shrimp fajitas. Boy, they were extremely tasty, really fresh flavors. The beans and rice were good.
Prices were reasonable as well!
We will be back to try the asada and other meat dishes.
Looks like they are open for breakfast too.”

“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.”
“Me and my friends love this place it has delicious food , great service and the staff is amazing also the entertainment lifts up the spirit Great place to Celebrate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“The is my favorite place in Uptown the beer is always amazing but most of all it's the staff. Jess, Lee, Chantel and especially Amber always make my experience exceptional. Whittier wouldn't be the same without this crew. Cheers!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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.”
“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 👍✅”

“Food was amazing. The orange drink was an absolute favorite. I ordered to go and my son accidemtally left partial order by the salsa table. When i called staff confirmed that the order was left. i went back to pick up the food and the staff prepared a fresh order for me. I was so grateful. Will definitely keep coming.”
“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 👍🏽😎”
“Sumo taco is excellent. Quality of meat and fried cheese shell is cooked to perfection. Sauces are light but not watery with excellent flavor. The green sauce is spicier than the red. The Half & Half nachos and fries were AMAZING. Again, the quality of the meats (I loved the asada thr best) and the perfectly cooked fries and homemade chips were perfect. Nice size plate as well.”

“Hooked on Coffee is a cozy local gem that serves great coffee and a nice selection of bakery items. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. There’s plenty of parking, and it’s conveniently located right on Main Street — perfect for a quick stop or a relaxing break.
Sadly, the shop recently experienced a break-in, which is disheartening for such a hardworking local business. We really need to support more mom-and-pop coffee shops like this one — so if you’re in the area, drop by, grab a coffee and a pastry, and show them some love.
Overall, Hooked on Coffee offers great coffee, tasty baked goods, and a genuinely positive vibe.”
“I would give Pizza 21 a five-star rating without hesitation. The cheese is delicious, the crust is great, and the toppings are fresh. This place has exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to satisfy my pizza cravings here at least once a week. A must-visit spot for pizza lovers!”
“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 :)”
“Extremely clean
Zero wait to order
Dine-in and outdoor available.
Staff could pay more attention to the counter; I'm one of the few people in the room, someone waiting at the counter should draw more attention.
Staff forgot items ordered
Food is like any other Cane's, great!!!
It's annoying this restaurant chain charges for extra sauces.”

“Beautiful ambiance Good Food and Good Drinks The GM Alex was very friendly and hospitable Thank You Alex We will be back!”
“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.”
“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!??”

“I highly recommend these tacos cooked Sinaloa style. The meat is incredibly flavorful and I've been going to this place for a long time. I first tried these tacos when I was 15 years old, and now at 31, I still make it a point to visit this place. Not only is the food delicious, but the cleanliness of the restaurant is also impressive.”
“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.”

“A nice tea shop with free wifi and some working spaces. It’s new and clean. A few people were working or doing homework in the seating area. It feels very family friendly. Most non-coffee drinks are mixed power so I couldn’t have the no sugar version I wanted.”
