“First visit here. Absolutely loved it. The albacore sashimi should really be renamed a carpaccio. Thinly sliced premium seared albacore with a tangy delicious ponzu sauce. With more than 10 slices, it's the perfect delicacy to share with someone special. Everything else here was super fresh and tasty. The ambience is dark & comfy and the customer service was friendly, quick & efficient. I found my new favorite spot for sushi.”
“Really good acai bowls, lots of bases and toppings to choose from. The mango base is my personal favorite and with half acai. Good for being a place with pre made bases as usually i like to go to places where they freshly blend the bases. Very tasty and load up the toppings.”
“Super happy to have this family owned business in whittier. Be sure to order your pork medium well if pink pork bothers you. Friendly. Good quality. We'll be back for sure.”
“So my baby boy Jude and I went there to get some early birthday sushi everything was great. Service was ok but the food made up for it.Parking: The place is located in Uptown Whittier so for everyone that is not familiar with the area not to worry there is plenty of free parking available all in their parking lot and the streets.Kid-friendliness: It's NOT a cocktail bar it's a Family restaurant with a Sushi bar my kid had a great time.”
“My server Daisy was super sweet. Made sure the food was served in a timely manner and did check-ins for drink refills. The staff had very friendly smiles. Definitely will be coming more often.”

“Went here with a business associate for a super late lunch and was surprised at the options. We were both starving but had a long drive back home, so wanted something filling but still light enough to not cause food coma.The customizable options made it easy to order. Both of us split a bowl and mushrooms tacos on gluten free tortillas. They splits -plated our food so that was really nice that we did not have to.The Tacos had amazing flavors, we asked to add pickled onions to additional tang. It was great.The bowl with tofu and brown rice, while good could use a little bit more flavoring. We got the dressing on the side that added some depth, but I feel something else can be added to the bowl to up the umami flavors.Overall a good choice. Pricing was a bit on th higher side , unfortunately, in-line with most places these days.Vegetarian options: Very customizable options.”
“Amazing service provided by Cari, she was so attentive & she had the best recommendations. Based on her recommendations, we tried the Special Coffee Flight with Oatmilk, Americano, Pastor Omelette, Chilaquiles Verdes with Chicken, and Nutella French Toast.We will start with the Special Coffee Flight which consisted of 4 sweet drinks: Mazapán iced coffee, Horchata iced coffee, Pistachio iced coffee and Abuelita iced coffee. The Mazapán iced coffee was a little textured for me since it had chunks of Mazapán in it and I wasn’t a fan. The Horchata iced coffee was satisfying & I loved it. It was the right amount of bittersweet. The Pistachio iced coffee was way too sweet & had only a touch of pistachio. The Abuelita iced coffee was on the bitter side since it tasted like straight cocoa. Americano was a simple brew.Pastor Omelette was delicious and super filling. It was packed with meat & had the right red salsa to compliment it. Chilaquiles Verdes were also delicious but not spicy. You definitely need to order more salsa on the side if you want them on the wet side however the chicken was a perfect addition. Nutella French Toast was top tier!! It was the star of the show although it was sweet.. the fried plantains took it to another level. The slices were huge and easily shareable amongst 2 people.Overall listen to your servers, Thank you Cari for the amazing suggestions & letting us know that this establishment is known for appealing to the sweet tooth. Next time I will ask for an Americano or espresso since I enjoy my heavy coffee flavored drinks. I will definitely be returning to this location or another as they are so welcoming & keep you updated with their wait time. You could wait 45 mins to be seated so join the waitlist in advanced through the Yelp app. Also once seated they will bring your food as quickly as possible.”
“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!”

“The 5 stars are for what I know to be THE BEST PORK BELLY TACOS IVE EVER HAD! Truly this dish here deserves all the hype because they're SOOOOOOO GOOD! No other place nearby serves them like they do here and are always consistently GOOD. The salsa and chips are amazing as well! I COME HERE FOR THESE TACOS ONLY BECAUSE THEYRE THAT GOOD !”

“Staff were super friendly and were happy to suggest drinks based on our preferences. I had an iced banana latte and my husband had a dirty chai. Both were delicious and perfectly flavored without being overly sweet. We also tried a garlic cream cheese stuffed bagel that was both sweet and savory. We had a smore cookie with chunks of chocolate that we thoroughly enjoyed and finished off quickly. Overall we really enjoyed the drinks the best and will be back again soon.”
“My wife and I came with friends and had dinner and drinks. I had the Berrian burrito and it was fire. The Palomar were amazing too. I wanted to drink more but couldn't cause I was the dd. The atmosphere was very lively. They have a DJ playing all kinds of music which made us want to dance. Their is a dance area and bar. I will definitely come back here for dinner and drinks.”
“Muy Bueno, Delicious! We took a chance on this place and it didn’t disappoint. The pupusas are so good and they’ve got some very interesting ones aside from your regular ones. Best in the area, this will be our go to for sure!!”
“Great family owned restaurant. Stand out dishes are the waffles, the pozole (weekend only), and the chorizo and eggs. Generous portions and lots of servers so you don't need to wait for coffee refills or if you need something.”
“Tried their Lomo Saltado and it was delicious! Their green sauce is different then what I'm used to but it fit perfectly with the meal! 5 stars just for that, this is easily now my new peruvian spot.”
“I only been here for breakfast. I ordered the veggies omelet and comes with avocado. Most places charge extra. They have a salsa bar and they bring fresh chips to your table. On the weekends they have a live band. And they also take requests on music which is nice.Vegetarian options: So far I just order there veggies omelet and comes with fresh slices of avocado.Parking: Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Is for wheelchairs.”
“I was out in Whittier today and found this sppt that opened a few months ago! I found parking right in front and the owner was super friendly. He also offered samples and they were good. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and Spinach&Cheese on my 2 item plate with Garlic Naan! Everything was fresh and delicious the Garlic Naan was also huge and amazing. Will definitely be back for more Indian food in the future!”

“Great whiskey bar, make sure you're prepared. Me and my friends had a bill over 1000, a party of 8. We drank many different whiskeys. Was celebrating a friend's birthday and definitely should give them a heads up about it, you'll enjoy the birthday cake.Vegetarian options: There are some but not as many as the meat ones.Dietary restrictions: Okay amount of fish options.Parking: If you want to park up close, good luck. If you're okay with a little walk, there's a garage.Kid-friendliness: It's a whisky bar...”
“I love Steve’s BBQ, the food is extremely great. The service is excellent, they try to accommodate you to your liking. The owners are the best. I go there twice a week and enjoy the great food they have.I have read the reviews and find those who are complaining about the food and service are just that. This place is very clean, welcoming, great food, quick service. You couldn’t ask for a better BBQ to eat at.”
“I can't give it 5 stars. The menu is a bit pricey . My 2 taco plate was close to 16 bucks. The food is good. But too close to being "homemade" for the price.”
“4/5/24 only complaint is the liquid guacamole that comes out of a 1 gallon jug. I know avocados are expensive but that liquid stuff is shameful. So Un-Mexican.3 yrs ago....Different and tasty12/20 stayed away too long...Carne Asada tacos are one of my favorites for miles around.”
“Came on their first Sunday brunch BUFFET, which we were not expecting, but were pleasantly surprised. The American breakfast fare was pretty boring and unexceptional (scrambled eggs overcooked, potatoes undercooked, etc.), but the Mexican food was ON POINT. Chilaquiles, tacos, and omelettes made to order. Fresh pozole and ceviche. Bottomless mimosas and micheladas (I opted to order a margarita, which was extra, but SO WORTH IT. The Guavarita with fresh guava, lime and pineapple was AMAZING.) The service was great. They accommodated my stroller and baby solicitously (and didn't freak out when I accidentally spilled powdered formula on the ground lol). The manager gave us a tour of all the buffet stations (including a chocolate fountain). Waiter checked in on us regularly and refilled drinks often. The chef himself even ran back to the kitchen to grab some cotija for my chilaquiles (note: would be cool to have cotija and queso fresco for chilaquiles as opposed to a shredded blend). Only complaint is that they kept reminding us that we only had 2 hours to eat and then giving us a count down, like “you have 20 minutes left” “you've got 5 more minutes.” Why are you trying to get rid of us? It's not like we were trying to stay until dinner time lol. We had just one plate of food each and there were plenty of empty tables. If you had made us feel welcome to stay and chat, we would have probably ordered more drinks. It detracted from the experience and felt kinda low rent, which made the price per head seem extra. Definitely will go back, but maybe just order a plate off the menu so I'm not being timed while I eat.”
“I'm there for the food and reasonable prices not the atmosphere.Parking: The shopping center is small next to the Freeway entrance thus parking is limited sometimes.”
“**Review of Uptown Taqueria Wen Chef in Whittier**During my first visit to Uptown Taqueria Wen Chef, I found this taco spot to be a refreshing addition to the Uptown Whittier dining scene. The restaurant boasts a clean environment and a beautifully designed interior, creating a welcoming atmosphere accentuated by the friendliness of the staff.The menu offers a decent variety of choices, and it seems like the quality of the food generally lives up to expectations. Of particular note is the carne asada, which stood out as the best option. It was flavorful and well-prepared, definitely a highlight of the meal. On the flip side, the other meats didn't impress as much, lacking the standout taste of the carne asada.The salsas deserve a mention too—especially the spicy hot red sauce, which really hits the mark for those who appreciate a good kick in their condiments.While I might skip the other meats on a return visit, the carne asada is certainly a draw. For anyone in the area, Uptown Taqueria Wen Chef is worth stopping by, if not for a full meal, then at least to enjoy a taco or two in a nice, cute setting with capable and amiable service.”
“Great place to grab a quick cup of coffee. Cinnamon buns are the bomb and a great price! Ordering on the tablet makes everything easy and fast. They have quickly become my regular spot.”
“We’ve been coming here for years and they haven’t disappointed us. This place is a hidden gem and their food is really delicious. My favorites are their spaghetti with meatballs and chicken fettuccini alfredo( the best I ever tasted). The ambiance is very nice and service is excellent.I highly recommend them. Authentic Italian food!!!”
“Located in Whittier Brewing Co building, great variety of baked goods! Many cheesecake options, turnovers, cookies, cinnamon rolls, etc. anything and everything is mouthwatering. Friendly owners and plenty of space to sit and enjoy. Get a cafecito while you’re there!”
“They have several different options to chose from drink wise and a full menu that I will certainly be going back, and trying. There's plenty of people in line, coming and going. I could tell this place is popular among its locals and has a solid backing from its customers. There's room to stand and wait, and it's easy to pull in and park. Quiet part of town, so it's a peaceful area.”
“You will never know it's Vegan.. the taste is exceptional!I ordered the burger with Gouda, and a side salad..I'm no longer able to eat red meat for health reasons, but I was craving a juicy, meaty burger. Let me tell you, this hit the spot!!The "meat" was cooked perfectly, and all the fixings were on point.I also ordered a side of onion rings. The burger was definitely the star of the show.Thank you Modern Shaman.Parking: Free garage parking right around the corner, and 2 hour street parking during the day. Free after 6pm.”
“This place was fantastic. The food tasted homemade and some of their items were unique in a good way. I loved their Machete and Agua Mineral preparada. The drink was super refreshing. I also tasted the green posole which had nixtamal instead of the canned hominy. I liked that instead of two plain tostadas they were garnished with veggies and refried beans. It makes a big difference in enjoying your pozole. I also sampled my husbands quesadilla which was also delicious. I like that they make their masa based items with fresh masa. It makes a difference over the already, refrigerated, stuff. If there is a complaint it's that you are practically sitting in the kitchen. The dining area is small. It might be best to do take-out. I suspect they will have to move to a bigger location. They hit it out of the park with this place!”
“Tried their Lomo Saltado and it was delicious! Their green sauce is different then what I'm used to but it fit perfectly with the meal! 5 stars just for that, this is easily now my new peruvian spot.”
“We hosted a Christmas Party with Ethnos and it was a big hit. Everyone LOVED the coffee and matcha. So many choices and everything was fresh and made to order. Iced and hot versions were available. The kids even got peppermint hot chocolate. We would have Ethnos again when we host another party.”

“Fantastic little shop for some snacks and a power booster with some mighty drinks. A great location within union station. Gab a drink on the way to work or something to finish off a long days work. The staff are friendly and well catered to the drink you want at that moment. Price is worth the treat.”
“We were here for a Saturday Brunch with a party of 8. The service was good, and our waiter was nice and very patient with us. Food was served quickly and, for the most part, was delicious. Everyone who ordered eggs was unhappy and didn't eat them. They did not taste like anything at all, and the texture was watery. We were also a little disappointed in how greasy the bacon was. Overall, not bad.. just expected a little more quality for the price.”
“This place is a MUST visit! The food and service are what you would expect a good restaurant to have. They have a nice variety of food I enjoy trying whenever I go. Their patio area is dope and the vibes here are super chill. Go and see Niko when you go and tell him I say hello!”
“Yes had the chicken and beef bento box both me and my wife so much food ate the rest next day well worth the money for it I recommend for anybody with large appetite”
“Food is delicious! Pad see ew is on point, Thai tea is delicious, and the mango sticky rice is amazing. Inside is quiet and peaceful. Nice lighting, comfy seats, condiments on table. The servers are very friendly and helpful if you have any questions. Quick service. 10/10”
“Big bright room with distractingly loud background music. Good menu with large portions. Sent back a poached egg order as the eggs were served hard boiled, yet our waitress handled it very well.”
“We loved the food, service, pupusas, caldo de res, and custard pastries. We will definitely come back.We love the foWe loved the food, service, pupusas, caldo de res, and custard pastries. We will definitely come back.od the service, We love the pupusas, Caldo De Res and the little custart pastries. Will go here again”
“Service by Kaison was excellent! He was taking all the orders answering phone calls his kindness was so nice. Thank you! Tom yum Kai bowl (mild)- it was tasty but I felt like the portion was a little small I wish it had more mushrooms but did have a lot of chicken. I would upgrade and get the hot pot and take it as left overs for $2-3 more bucks Pad Kee Mao beef (mild) was excellent! Even though it was mild it was spicy lol. Big portion love the amount of beef and crunch lettuce. Thai ice tea - it satisfied the craving but not the best I've ever had. I read one of the fellow helpers write this and I agree with her. Thai ice tea is still good nonetheless. Overall good experience for picking a random new Thai spot! Good food, got it within 10 mins, great service from Kaison. Will be back if we are ever in the area.”
“Every sea food selection is delicious. My place for the ceviche with shrimp for all my family parties.. affordable prices. Walk in for unexpected gatherings is handled with no issues..Parking: It's a small plaza so plenty of spaceWheelchair accessibility: Wide doors and staff is helpful”
“Food was great all around I had the shrimp and pork egg rolls and the garlic noodles with chicken 10/10 highly recommend. My spouse had salmon and brisket pho she usually doesn't eat much but she finished her salmon and half of her pho with rice. The restaurant was clean and good vibes, with TVs, music and aesthetically pleasing accessories. The service was also a 10/10 a young lady was our waitress and she was on it, food took less than 5 mins to come out and they were about 60 out of 100% packed at the time. Highly recommend!!”
“The greeter was awesome and friendly & helpful. He offered great suggestions. The food was better than i expected. The meat was cooked perfectly. I will definitely ”
“THIS PLACE IS A MUST SEE. The ambiance of this place is amazing and the reconstruction was done to perfection. I specifically ordered and loved the Pappardelle! It was prepared at our table by Robbie who was so awesome and gave us a detailed description of the whole experience. It was dinner and a show in Whittier!! Amazing!! Brandy was also the best server. I definitely recommend this place to any one looking to have great food and amazing service. I can't recommend this place enough.”
“We didn't eat while we were there, but we did have a few drinks that were delicious. I didn't get the waitress' name, but she was so nice and gave great suggestions. I like that the music wasn't so loud. We were still able to have a conversation without having to yell. It's definitely a plus. I'd recommend this place to anyone”
“The waitress keep forgetting our breadsticks even though we kept asking for them and we end up leaving and he literally only brought us the ones they serve you with the food and it was unlimited bread sticks salad and soup ??♀️”
“Good food great customer service this was from awhile ago. The new review goes like this you guys should of never changed they upgraded there building but downgraded there menu it's sad because this use to be really good now i don't see them surviving this change!!! 2 stars just because there customer service is still great besides that I'm sorry but you guys ruined good thing”

This one was decent, my nachos were great tasting, though like all Del taco food I was punished on the toilet later ?. But it tasted great! Stick to the drive through, the inside looks like trash.”

Overall very good food.”
“This place was extremely crowded. As usual. We were ignored for quite a while as we sat on the barstools. I do like their coffee. The green Chilaquiles breakfast it’s not the greatest. My black beans were served cold. I did like their pancakes not sure I will be coming back, but it was fine for a quick bite in avery loud place.”

“I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, it doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is a totally different storyEven the bathrooms were nice ?Def recommend ?”
“First time here and I was not disappointed. The bf got the Argentina with onion rings. He liked them, I did not, but they were his choice. I had a California and it was very good. We are going back to try a protein style but a different country. The service was good since we were the only ones in there, but there were many take out orders. They had the movie "Coco" on, so some ambiance too.”
“Just a guy making some bomb-a** churros. 10/10 would recommend. It's a little shady kind of area though, no seats but ain't no biggie when you can eat those piping hot churros in your car.”
“Walking in the restaurant was clean. Employees welcom you as soon as you walk in and your order would be handed out pretty quick. The cookies themselves are delicious so far my favorite has been the tres leches.”
“Our hostess Luz gave us excellent service. She took care of us flawlessly which was a party of 18 for my dad's 80th birthday on Sunday, April 21st. She was very cordial, efficient, and made everyone feel special!!! We appreciate and want her to be recognized for her excellent service!! She was always ahead of the game. We never had to ask for anything because she was always a step ahead of us. Thank you so much Luz!!! The Gonzales Family”

“Nice place to come and have coffee and very good menu. Simple and straight to the point best part of all you can add and mix your own flavor choices from a list which is must easier then choices from a hundred different drinks and asking what each one has. Deffinitely will be coming back for some good lattes and coffee. Also the inside is well and simply decorated and the seating is out of the way of walk way so people dont get crowsed by where you are sitting.”
“Awesome service, the drinks are really good & so is the food! It’s really fun with the games & Shawn made our night special! We’ll def be back for another date night ! Thank you for maintaining such an awesome atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Lots of options are gluten free & vegan/vegetarian!”
“Alex Morales, his family, and the staff are very welcoming and sincerely care about their food and service. Alex was on ABC's Eye on LA years ago for the quality of his good!”
“Yum yum yum yummy yum yummy yummy yum yum yummy yum and rice , beans , & gravy delicious. When you mention Johnny shrimp boat , everyone brings up the rice beans and gray and they have tasty fish tacos not Baja but another version of fish tacos that I loved and still go back for”
“This place gets me into trouble and I am fortunate. With its 24 diverse rotating beer on draft, you can explore them using flight option. Also, they have their wine it's in own chilled draft box. Want more? You can to peruse their wall and wrap-around refrigorator of a craft beers and estate wine, champagne, and even non alcoholic beverages. Great for solo drinking, date night , and meet up with friends. Cheers !”
“Silver Palace is one of the best Chinese food restaurants I've been to in a while, the reason they get 4 stars is because the chow mein was super dry and they didn't even include hot sauce like we asked.”
“Very picky on my menudo, but menudo here is one of the best in town (trust me!). Also, from burgers to burritos, fish 'n' chips to chile fries--I've been satisfied with all. Good portions all around and owners are very friendly and personable.”
“I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, it doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is a totally different storyEven the bathrooms were nice ?Def recommend ?”
“First time here and I was not disappointed. The bf got the Argentina with onion rings. He liked them, I did not, but they were his choice. I had a California and it was very good. We are going back to try a protein style but a different country. The service was good since we were the only ones in there, but there were many take out orders. They had the movie "Coco" on, so some ambiance too.”
“I love Steve’s BBQ, the food is extremely great. The service is excellent, they try to accommodate you to your liking. The owners are the best. I go there twice a week and enjoy the great food they have.I have read the reviews and find those who are complaining about the food and service are just that. This place is very clean, welcoming, great food, quick service. You couldn’t ask for a better BBQ to eat at.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Good variety of food, family owned and managed. They do not operate their indoor seating at this time, only call in and drive through.Parking: Ample parking lot with good access from two streets.Kid-friendliness: Menu has options that most kids like. This is a good family place.”
“I do not give five stars for hamburgers you cannot order rare medium rare medium medium well or well.. if they don't ask you how you want your burger it means one the damn thing is so thin it'll be over in 3 seconds when they flip it.. and in and out has a burger the size of a drink coaster. Nothing to chirp at at all!. The smell that they walked over the freeways to get you to come in when you're drunk after the bar or hungry as hell is ingenious. Their french fries taste like cardboard that has been pressed into the shape of a French fry. Their milkshakes have little flavor. But overall there's still not overly priced since the New World Order has come in with the fake covid disease. And The Taste is decent. They fill the burger with giant pieces of lettuce and tomato to make it look big and the buns are well edible. We got lucky there wasn't a line this time maybe that's why they're getting a favorable review. We all know it's true.. but we still eat there for some reason? LOLParking: One of those lucky afternoons when there was nobody eating there when we walked in walk right in front. But by the time we ordered there was a line behind us.”
“Great food and great service! Huge portions and everything was made fresh. The onion rings and zucchini fries are made in house and the salsa is also made from scratch! Friendly staff and clean dining area with plenty of seating. Price is very reasonable for the amount of food. Definitely recommend!”
“The food is really good there. The chicken fingers are so juicy and just right. That dipping sauce is great! There is plenty of food to fill you up with the fries and coleslaw, which is actually pretty good, too!”
“Just ordered Ricks fried chicken dinner it was perfectly cooked and delicious. The crinkle fries at Ricks are always spot on! and the salad was so super fresh really good! I definitely appreciated that salad an enjoyed it ?. David ordered the pastrami with extra pickles all so good. Thank you Ricks and also thanks to your very humble an kind staff. See you all next time. Helen n David of Whittier .”
“If you're looking for a chicken burger, this is the place and look no further, I highly recommend the Santa Fe Chicken Burger, it's an absolute must! You wont regret it !!”
“Clean restaurant. Food quality good. Service is good. You can always count on that specific satisfying flavor of chili and cheese on their C&C Hot Dogs . Thw one improvement that boosts their score is the improvement of the quality of French fries. Before they were limp shoestring style fries, not too much of a flavor. Now the FF are truly competitive against McDonald's, even unsalted you can taste potato. I do think the price of a single corn dog is a little too high ($3.39)Parking: Handicap parkingWheelchair accessibility: Basic wheelchair amenities. Handicap parking stall.”
“Everything at here is amazing. I recoend the buffalo wing special! 2 slices of toast wings fries and Onion rings!! The ranch is a must! You'll be better off ordering wings here. Trust !”
“The food was very tasty and they served us very quickly, I went for my daughter's birthday and when I ordered a milkshake they took a while to deliver it, but when I ordered it I asked for happy birthday and they never sang to her ? for me it was bad ”
“Recommended by my brother, to my surprise lived up to all the hype. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. The Swiss BBQ bacon burger with fries was delicious.”
“I stopped at this location on Telegraph to get a chocolate cake dessert. The drive thru was busy so I decided to park and enter the facility. The staff took my order and I received my item quickly. The frosting is very sweet but overall, I enjoyed my dessert. Entering and exiting is a bit challenging as one driveway crosses the drive thru cars and some parking stall are blocked depending on where the drive thru cars stop to get in line.”
“First time trying the breakfast burrito it was very good. The very nice lady asked me if I wanted sauce and cheese. No sauce for me and yes on the cheese. Please. Very good burrito. Next time, I'm going to try their burgers for dinner. I grew up on Tams back in L.A. so I am pretty picky about my burgers. Thank you for breakfast. Oh and the place looks really clean. I love that.”
“My husband and I like sanwys and onion rings and my children like hamburgers ? ? ?Parking: Very good, I use the handicapped parking lot when there is space, when there isn't, my husband parks in normal parking.”
“Great customer service didn't wait long for food clean dinning area.Vegetarian options: Beans rice tostada'sParking: There's is enough parking and convenient since the walk from your car to the entrance is about 3 feet awayKid-friendliness: The cleanliness of the dinning area and the menu is kid friendly and approvedWheelchair accessibility: Yes it has wheelchair accessibility”
“I can't give it 5 stars. The menu is a bit pricey . My 2 taco plate was close to 16 bucks. The food is good. But too close to being "homemade" for the price.”
“4/5/24 only complaint is the liquid guacamole that comes out of a 1 gallon jug. I know avocados are expensive but that liquid stuff is shameful. So Un-Mexican.3 yrs ago....Different and tasty12/20 stayed away too long...Carne Asada tacos are one of my favorites for miles around.”
“Came on their first Sunday brunch BUFFET, which we were not expecting, but were pleasantly surprised. The American breakfast fare was pretty boring and unexceptional (scrambled eggs overcooked, potatoes undercooked, etc.), but the Mexican food was ON POINT. Chilaquiles, tacos, and omelettes made to order. Fresh pozole and ceviche. Bottomless mimosas and micheladas (I opted to order a margarita, which was extra, but SO WORTH IT. The Guavarita with fresh guava, lime and pineapple was AMAZING.) The service was great. They accommodated my stroller and baby solicitously (and didn't freak out when I accidentally spilled powdered formula on the ground lol). The manager gave us a tour of all the buffet stations (including a chocolate fountain). Waiter checked in on us regularly and refilled drinks often. The chef himself even ran back to the kitchen to grab some cotija for my chilaquiles (note: would be cool to have cotija and queso fresco for chilaquiles as opposed to a shredded blend). Only complaint is that they kept reminding us that we only had 2 hours to eat and then giving us a count down, like “you have 20 minutes left” “you've got 5 more minutes.” Why are you trying to get rid of us? It's not like we were trying to stay until dinner time lol. We had just one plate of food each and there were plenty of empty tables. If you had made us feel welcome to stay and chat, we would have probably ordered more drinks. It detracted from the experience and felt kinda low rent, which made the price per head seem extra. Definitely will go back, but maybe just order a plate off the menu so I'm not being timed while I eat.”
Cheap Eats
“This place was fantastic. The food tasted homemade and some of their items were unique in a good way. I loved their Machete and Agua Mineral preparada. The drink was super refreshing. I also tasted the green posole which had nixtamal instead of the canned hominy. I liked that instead of two plain tostadas they were garnished with veggies and refried beans. It makes a big difference in enjoying your pozole. I also sampled my husbands quesadilla which was also delicious. I like that they make their masa based items with fresh masa. It makes a difference over the already, refrigerated, stuff. If there is a complaint it's that you are practically sitting in the kitchen. The dining area is small. It might be best to do take-out. I suspect they will have to move to a bigger location. They hit it out of the park with this place!”
“Customer service is amazing, protein based donuts are delicious and I love the positive quotes written on the healthy shakes and teas!! I am stoked to know that they are now open at 6am. Early birds coming through!!”
“Yesterday for Super Bowl Sunday ordered takeout. First time trying this place I'll tell me and my family weren't disappointed the barbecue was so delicious. Best we tasted in a longtime. Differently will be back.”
“Great authentic Mexican food. Got the carne en su jugo plate since they had a signed taped to the door and said, why not? The food was delicious! I did not even get a chance to take a picture, I ate it so quick! The plate was just like my mom makes it! The tortillas appear to be hand made as well. Great service as well. I think I will become a regular here!”
“I would give it 10 stars if I could! The food tasted incredibly good, the best tacos we've had! Everything was well served, and they have a very friendly staff!”
“Just go. It's literally the BEST I've ever had. I can't believe it took me so long to get froyo from here. I've heard about it for years, and for good reason. I will only come here now. Go get some!”
“I've loved the Greenleaf Cafe for years. I usually stick to the steak tampiquena but the other rainy night we ventured out and I order steak fajitas. It was a good portion for today's prices.”
“Friendly staff, very good pizza. Another reviewer compared it to the "Old Rios Pizza" and that was a very accurate assessment ! We got wings as well, very good wings with different options, but the pizza was the highlight. I just wish the pizza wasn't so expensive, but i can't blame the business for the economy.”
“Gresia was amazing/friendly.Customer service was fantastic. The food was delicious. We had ceviche de pescado and ceviche mixto and fried calamari. It was beyond delicious. Definitely recommend.”
“I highly recommend. This is a great taco business. It is located on a corner and there is a several parking spaces belonging to the building they're parked in front of, very convenient. There is no seating area but they have a self serve table full of salsas and toppings to prep as you need. The lady taking the order is very friendly, very patient, that is very important to me. The tacos are small in size but the amount of meat inside the taco is decent. I recommend the buche, suadero, lengua and they used to have tripa but i was told it was not selling as much so they took it off the menu unfortunately. I've had their nachos and they fry their own tortilla chips and it's very delicious. This is definitely my new taco spot.”
“After a long day at work . Openening up the fridge and having a ice cold vampiro takes that good made me feel good about being charged 75 cents to use my card. This is one of my favorite places to go in whittier”
“Excellent food and the service was outstanding. Lots of fun photos all over the walls, my wife and I cannot wait to go back again. I found Ray's Little Kitchen while riding the Whittier Trail and the smell of good food drew me to them.”
“We have options for rotisserie chicken, fire grilled chicken, and other methods or cooking the bird. Well Juan’s does it well. The chicken was not dry. The rub on it forms a tasty layer that is not too salty or peppery. The potato salad for me sealed the deal. Creamy finely chopped goodness. Decor is quaint reminds me of small dinners growing up. You know the one with colorful fiberglass seats. The staff is very friendly and service is quick. Stop by and enjoy.”
“The Tacos are so good. Definitely recommend this place. It's inside of the liquor store. I usually don't like Al pastor but there Al pastor is so good. I got a Al pastor burrito and carne asada tacos they were delicious.”
“The beef ribs and the carne asada tacos are amazing. The tortillas are fresh and the meat is well seasoned. They grill everything right in front of you, and the smell is amazing. Well worth the price for the amount of amazing food you get. The people are also super friendly and will give you recommendations if you’re stuck on what to pick. I always recommend this place to anyone looking for street tacos.Parking: Be kind and park out of the way of flowing traffic. People pile up on the merging lane to Washington. Find a safe place to park and walk.”
“I'm there for the food and reasonable prices not the atmosphere.Parking: The shopping center is small next to the Freeway entrance thus parking is limited sometimes.”
“Our hostess Luz gave us excellent service. She took care of us flawlessly which was a party of 18 for my dad's 80th birthday on Sunday, April 21st. She was very cordial, efficient, and made everyone feel special!!! We appreciate and want her to be recognized for her excellent service!! She was always ahead of the game. We never had to ask for anything because she was always a step ahead of us. Thank you so much Luz!!! The Gonzales Family”

“**Review of Uptown Taqueria Wen Chef in Whittier**During my first visit to Uptown Taqueria Wen Chef, I found this taco spot to be a refreshing addition to the Uptown Whittier dining scene. The restaurant boasts a clean environment and a beautifully designed interior, creating a welcoming atmosphere accentuated by the friendliness of the staff.The menu offers a decent variety of choices, and it seems like the quality of the food generally lives up to expectations. Of particular note is the carne asada, which stood out as the best option. It was flavorful and well-prepared, definitely a highlight of the meal. On the flip side, the other meats didn't impress as much, lacking the standout taste of the carne asada.The salsas deserve a mention too—especially the spicy hot red sauce, which really hits the mark for those who appreciate a good kick in their condiments.While I might skip the other meats on a return visit, the carne asada is certainly a draw. For anyone in the area, Uptown Taqueria Wen Chef is worth stopping by, if not for a full meal, then at least to enjoy a taco or two in a nice, cute setting with capable and amiable service.”

“We were here for a Saturday Brunch with a party of 8. The service was good, and our waiter was nice and very patient with us. Food was served quickly and, for the most part, was delicious. Everyone who ordered eggs was unhappy and didn't eat them. They did not taste like anything at all, and the texture was watery. We were also a little disappointed in how greasy the bacon was. Overall, not bad.. just expected a little more quality for the price.”

“Hands down my favorite boba place, absolutely ecstatic i no longer have to go to Downey for it. So many flavors, so many toppings, so many options beyond just boba.Their specialty drinks are so tasty and cute– definitely make your friends feel the FOMO when you post a Traffic Light (three flavors and colors in ? ?layers.Also they're doing something no other boba place I've seen do: reusable boba cups with boba straws. When i went they said they weren't for sale YET so maybe sometime soon...Also they went all out for Halloween decor, which was so cute and fun.”
“This pizza place is Amazing my boys and I love it we always order delivery and they are always fast and delivery. All the drivers that drop off are food are very friendly and our food is always HOT! We also love their buffalo wings!!”
“This place is one of my absolute favorites in Whittier! The burgers are amazing, and I love their selection of Belgian beers. I am no oyster expert, but I tried them once and they were great! My partner and I come here often and have never been disappointed. The servers are amazing and always friendly. Highly recommend!”
“We love their pizza. One of the best build your own pizza spots. Sandwiches are ok but the pizzas are where it's at. Service is decent, mostly good but there are some young kids that are still learning how not to be socially awkward. Cool little selection of beers on Tao and they have lots of promotions to look out for. Highly recommend.”
“Taco joint in Whittier that serves up great street tacos at unbeatable prices. Stopped in to sample these since stayed last time up the street from this place and could smell the aromas so had to try?All tacos are 2 dollars (tax included) ordered 2 carne asada and 2 al pastor with everything on it. Didnt dissapoint at all, legit LA Tacos. Should have ordered 4 more to go but started to get a line so i passed. Would recommend, 5 stars??Parking: Limited number of parking in front and side of store”
“Thank you Regina, Ariana and Crista great customer service great team! My new favorite spot if any one ask where’s Mona. Please find me at Chicken Koop! Your new weekly customer!”
“Very American Cafe with a simple breakfast menu but expanded menu for Lunch and dinner. Food and service were excellent... Casual environment that won't kill your wallet. Oh and excellent cappuccino! Will definitely visit again when I'm back in the area”
“Food and service were excellent. We've been here many times and came again tonight for my daughter's birthday. I wish now I'd taken photos of the plates to share but we couldn't wait to eat. The owner/manager/waitress is Vivian and I recommend this restaurant, especially if you plan to dine in.”
“This is some if the best Thai food I've EVER HAD. I was blown away. My brother is a professional chef and makes a killer red curry but I'd have to say this one topped it. The tofu was out of this world. The Tom Kah soup was super yummy too. But the star of the show was definitely the sticky mango rice. I had to stop myself from gobbling everything down even after I was full! I don't live in the area but I'm going to definitely drive out of my way to come back! We went on Easter so it was empty so idk what the crowd is normally like. Don't be put off by the lack of good pictures of the food on the menu and windows.”
“The food is hot, homemade, fresh and very tasty.I eat at Joe Peeps a lot and it is always good and tasty.You cant go wrong with their homemade food items.I even see the workers eating the food. Every body likes it.They have tons of regulars.If you habent tried their food it is time to give them a try.”
“The food was great, and the girl who helped us was very helpful. She helped us select the right fish my mother in law, and even came by to see how she liked it. It's casual order at the counter dining, so I felt this was above and beyond. I also like their selection of beverages. A lot of unique flavors aside from the usual drinks. I had the fish and chips, They were crispy and not greasy. I would highly recommend this place and have already gone back.Dietary restrictions: They have things like cauliflower rice and grilled zucchini and asparagus for those needing healthier options.”
“This place has some pretty good pizza. I drove by a few times and saw it very busy so had to try it. The pizza dough is very good, just had to order it well done the second time around. The pizza sauce is a tad too sweet for me but every one else liked it, I would prefer a little extra spice in it. It had plenty of toppings, over all a good go to for pizza.”
“my absolute favorite local pizza place! The pizza here is SO good - not oily at all, super fresh, and huge portions. The wings are also crispy and flavorful. The meatball sub is HUGE and the meat sauce is DIVINEEEE- you can tell everything is made fresh to order here and the owners really care about the quality of what they make and keeping their customers happy. 5/5 we love you marco polo pizza!!!!”
“Had to go to Pot Luck's event ,& I ordered the giant burrito the size of a tray.! This burrito was the talk of the evening. Everyone loved it! I thought I would have leftovers, but it was gone!They are doing construction in front of it, so it's a hidden gem.Parking: Unfortunately, parking is hard to find due to construction and being next to Pizzamania.”
“Yes had the chicken and beef bento box both me and my wife so much food ate the rest next day well worth the money for it I recommend for anybody with large appetite”
“I think the same staff have been there since I was a kid. And just as I remember it the older women servers are just as grumpy. But the food is awesome I just take it home. The overwhelming amount of seniors there is a bit depressingParking: Sucks”
“Good food and even better service.Thank you Maya our server and the rest of the staff.In the words of Arnold "I'll be back"and thats real soon.Wheelchair accessibility: I did see ramps”
“Food is delicious! Pad see ew is on point, Thai tea is delicious, and the mango sticky rice is amazing. Inside is quiet and peaceful. Nice lighting, comfy seats, condiments on table. The servers are very friendly and helpful if you have any questions. Quick service. 10/10”
“The absolute best sushi. Not over stuffed jumbo rolls with crabmeat and rice.. this is quality! Exactly how sushi should be. I can't get enough of Dakara and tell everyone I know to go there. I can never get tired of it, this is a restaurant you go to over and over and over for years because it's that good. You can't order wrong here, everything is delicious!”
“OMG did I find my new favorite spot! I was too busy eating that I forgot to take pictures. The place is so cute and the service was amazing! What we had : 3 Pupusas Beans and cheese 2 Revuelta pupusa Eggs with Machaca Red Cheese Enchiladas Large Ensalada drink”
“I do not give five stars for hamburgers you cannot order rare medium rare medium medium well or well.. if they don't ask you how you want your burger it means one the damn thing is so thin it'll be over in 3 seconds when they flip it.. and in and out has a burger the size of a drink coaster. Nothing to chirp at at all!. The smell that they walked over the freeways to get you to come in when you're drunk after the bar or hungry as hell is ingenious. Their french fries taste like cardboard that has been pressed into the shape of a French fry. Their milkshakes have little flavor. But overall there's still not overly priced since the New World Order has come in with the fake covid disease. And The Taste is decent. They fill the burger with giant pieces of lettuce and tomato to make it look big and the buns are well edible. We got lucky there wasn't a line this time maybe that's why they're getting a favorable review. We all know it's true.. but we still eat there for some reason? LOLParking: One of those lucky afternoons when there was nobody eating there when we walked in walk right in front. But by the time we ordered there was a line behind us.”
“The food here is really good! The ambiance is cool and the service is okay. I originally came in for two, one for me one for my boyfriend. It took very long bc they were busy but that was a good sign to us!! The pricing compare to mochinut was amazing! Mochinut charges 11$ for a corn dog that is beyond average. Here however, they charge a reasonable price for a good snack! It was so good that my stubborn boyfriend made me drive back so he can buy himself another one!! We only live 15 mins away so we will definitely be back!!”
“Big bright room with distractingly loud background music. Good menu with large portions. Sent back a poached egg order as the eggs were served hard boiled, yet our waitress handled it very well.”
“My hubs comes here after work for a beer + bite during the weekday. It's a low key, local peeps, local vibe dive and he always leaves happy ? The service is attentive and prompt w no attitude. It's family owned so maybe that's why. Good, honest, hard working customers just grabbing a brew after work and families grabbing a bite at night ? I was a lil fancy on a recent Sat night + also fit in. They welcome all vibes ?”
“It's a whole in the wall, you walk right into the kitchen and ordering counter. That being said, it's strictly a burger joint. Nothing crazy, burgers, fry's, drinks. They specialize in smash burgers. This place is known in LA and some instagramers say it's the best in LA. I'm a say, it's personal preference. It's a good burger, Crispy edges, smashed, grilled oinions, mushrooms to i think, lots of melted cheese, I added lettuces and tomatoes to mine, on a soft bun. It's a really good smashed burger and the price isn't to crazy, I think starts at $10ish to $15. Frys are good, everything is made to order and fresh. It's really a simple joint that focuses of the food, which is simple a good burger. I'd recommend you try and decide for yourself if it's the "best burger" in LA.Parking: A small strip mall type establishment. Limited parking. There is street parking.Kid-friendliness: Not kid-friendly, very limited seating. Best to get it to go if your with little ones.”
“Thursday 4/18/24 Lunch at Raku Teriyaki and Sushi Roll in Whittier with my friend Benny. Enjoyed a Japanese bento box with delicious foods and a nice conversation.”
“Chicken pesto has good flavor but when you ask for chicken they give you like 10 tiny pieces on a medium tray for 10 people . I had it behind with pine nuts too and our tray there was none .”
“Great coffee, hot and cold. They use coffee ice cubes!! So many great flavors and food choices too. Cookies are soft and the chocolates are rich, the sandwiches and croissants are a nice treat. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time that I had been at this location but all the Denny's are pretty much the same great food great service good atmosphere so if you want to have fun and enjoyable affordable place to take your family to eat this is the spotParking: The parking location is right in front of the restaurant you can see all the vehicles through the windows as you eat Very secure and only for Denny's customers”
“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.”
“I work in Uptown Whittier and appreciate that this place is within walking distance! I got the chicken teriyaki bowl with pineapple and green onion and it was sooooo delicious ? The meat was flavorful and tender. Will definitely be ordering from here again!”
“Came here today, placed an order with Vincent which was very helpful. My daughter has allergies & he assured me the Bambino with Vegan cheese would be ok with her. Safe to say she enjoyed it & didn't break outDietary restrictions: Vegan cheese”
“Forget all costly restaurants, this food truck is at his best. Rate, quality, quantity everything.Best this is they have Vegetarian Option.Vegetarian options: BurritosTacos”
“I expected little but received something! Most Del tacosook like Juarez province in Mexico- watch your back or you might be beheaded type of places. This one was decent, my nachos were great tasting, though like all Del taco food I was punished on the toilet later ?. But it tasted great! Stick to the drive through, the inside looks like trash.”

We will definitely come back.od the service, We love the pupusas, Caldo De Res and the little custart pastries. Will go here again”
“Loved the food, service, and atmosphere! That's hard to find all three nowadays. The service was outstanding and I felt so comfortable and calm with a family of five.Parking: It's a small parking lot. I haven't seen it when its packed. Its about five to six lots. I would say a wheelchair fits one thing to note is that the parking is on a bit of a slope.”
“First time experiencing this cool little spot and man they were poppin’ at 9am on a Saturday morning! We pre-ordered since we were heading up to the area to bid a job. Ordering was easy, they ran just a bit behind (10 mins) and man, they were so friendly and apologetic about it! Suuuper kind folks in there! Smoothie was delicious and the wrap was really good! We will be back!”

“This place was extremely crowded. As usual. We were ignored for quite a while as we sat on the barstools. I do like their coffee. The green Chilaquiles breakfast it’s not the greatest. My black beans were served cold. I did like their pancakes not sure I will be coming back, but it was fine for a quick bite in avery loud place.”
“Very American Cafe with a simple breakfast menu but expanded menu for Lunch and dinner. Food and service were excellent... Casual environment that won't kill your wallet. Oh and excellent cappuccino! Will definitely visit again when I'm back in the area”
“We go here about once a week. It's next to a large donut chain, but their donuts are far superior! They are fluffy and light. The other place has dense small donuts. They also sell smoothies I recommend you give them a try. You won't go next door again.”
“Service by Kaison was excellent! He was taking all the orders answering phone calls his kindness was so nice. Thank you! Tom yum Kai bowl (mild)- it was tasty but I felt like the portion was a little small I wish it had more mushrooms but did have a lot of chicken. I would upgrade and get the hot pot and take it as left overs for $2-3 more bucks Pad Kee Mao beef (mild) was excellent! Even though it was mild it was spicy lol. Big portion love the amount of beef and crunch lettuce. Thai ice tea - it satisfied the craving but not the best I've ever had. I read one of the fellow helpers write this and I agree with her. Thai ice tea is still good nonetheless. Overall good experience for picking a random new Thai spot! Good food, got it within 10 mins, great service from Kaison. Will be back if we are ever in the area.”
“We have options for rotisserie chicken, fire grilled chicken, and other methods or cooking the bird. Well Juan’s does it well. The chicken was not dry. The rub on it forms a tasty layer that is not too salty or peppery. The potato salad for me sealed the deal. Creamy finely chopped goodness. Decor is quaint reminds me of small dinners growing up. You know the one with colorful fiberglass seats. The staff is very friendly and service is quick. Stop by and enjoy.”
“First visit here. Absolutely loved it. The albacore sashimi should really be renamed a carpaccio. Thinly sliced premium seared albacore with a tangy delicious ponzu sauce. With more than 10 slices, it's the perfect delicacy to share with someone special. Everything else here was super fresh and tasty. The ambience is dark & comfy and the customer service was friendly, quick & efficient. I found my new favorite spot for sushi.”
“Customer service is amazing, protein based donuts are delicious and I love the positive quotes written on the healthy shakes and teas!! I am stoked to know that they are now open at 6am. Early birds coming through!!”

“The only reason this is 4 and not 5 because of the music volume. Mind you this is not the place to bring kids it's too loud to enjoy a family dinner, let alone have a conversation. Regardless, the LIVE banda music was top notch! Played my favorite aongs! Service was quick and precise: you ask and you get. Simple as that. No runarounds, no bs. Best micheladas in LA HANDS DOWN! Oysters are reasonably priced and fresh as they can be! Love this place!”

The vibe was super chill. I will definitely be coming back.”

“Went to grab some dinner the other night and we were really happy impressed. We had not been in years but the food quality and service was still over the top. Our waitress Ashley was so funny, professional and had some awesome recommendations. I got the NY strip Peppercorn steak and my cousin got the full rack of baby back ribs. The steak was so flavorful, the crust on the steak was sooo good and the steak was cooked perfectly. My cousins ribs fell off the bone and the mashed potatoes were soo good. And I can't forget how good the bread and butter was. Can't wait to go back, I'm glad the good quality never changed here.”
