Higo Sushi Peruvian Fusion
1451 W Whittier Blvd, La Habra, CA 90631, United States
I was looking to have some sushi with my daughter for a Sunday night dinner. I went online to look and I happened to come across Higo Sushi Peruvian...The place was spotless with a host that seats you, there is a sushi bar and dining tables. Everybody there was so nice and professional, very helpful. I ordered garlic edemame, two thumbs up, they were so delicious. The sample roll, it had 4 varieties of what I assume are their most popular rolls, two pieces each. The roll was outstanding, each one was unique in flavor and tasty for lack of a better word. Had another roll, cant recall the name, but delicious as well. Tempura was the crispiest Ive had to date and the warm sauce was very good. For dessert we had these little crunchy cookies and also an ice cream that was orange in color but had this mild vanillaish flavor and great consistency. The food is infused with Peruvian flavors, and there are Peruvian classic cuisine options like Lomo Saltado. When you are seated they bring pickled cucumbers and ginger with wasabi paste as well as a Peruvian favorite similar to an avocado green chile not sure exactly what its called but it was to die for. Prices were spot on, they might even raise them and I would still return. Happy customer. P.S. a couple arrived 5 minutes before closing and they were welcomed and treated gracefully. Very impressed.

I had been coming here to this location for years. It had been a little while since going there, but wow, how the portion size has changed! The bowl is all rice and a small portion of chicken. They used to serve good portions. Im quite disappointed in that seeing as the prices have increased, yet the portions have decreased. The cashier was friendly, and the service was quick. But for me, the food pricing and amount of food you get is not worth it. There are way more options for bowls with bigger portions for that pricing. Hopefully, you guys improve your portion sizing, Ive noticed other reviews mentioning the same. ?

Found a small metal nail, the size of a piece of rice in my waba plate, I ate it, felt something hard and cold, and immediately spat it out. I was offered to have my name put down on a piece of paper and and IOU for another waba bowl. I don't know how or why there is a nail in my rice, but that is never acceptable. If I was being less cautious, and I had swallowed the nail I would be in a big mess to try to get it out and it would've become a big legal problem for waba.

Waba Soto is my go to for lunch in between my work meetings when I am in the area. They are quick and healthy and give the perfect balance between a delicious meal and a healthy meal. This location is clean and the staff there are always so accommodating. I order a chicken bowl with white meat only with veggies. That gets me to a perfectly satisfied portion without feeling bloated or full so I can get on with my day. Im so happy I found this Waba as I have been going here to this location for a little over 4 years now. If youre looking to make a quick change to your health and diet, Waba is a perfect and easy way to start. Also the Half and Half bowl is my cheat meal/treat. The beef is so YUMMY!
Pho & Roll
7007 Greenleaf Ave # 102, Whittier, CA 90602, United States
I went in for a pho and roll lunch special. It being my first time there I did not know what to expect. I asked for a menu and I found the picture of the pho. I ordered a rare steak pho and a shrimp pho. I was charged 27 dollars. and was asked to wait 15 minutes. When I came in to pick up my order I noticed the way it was packaged it did not seem like there was a soup inside. I opened up the bag and noticed that it was a salad with noodles and shrimp with peanuts. Add the other box had salad noodles and beef. I went back in to let the waitress know that my order was wrong. She said ‘that is what you ordered. I told her I ordered the picture on the menu. I got a menu and I opened it and pointed to where I had pointed earlier when I ordered. She said that I did not point to that. She went on and on about me ordering from a different part of the menu. I told her I did not. I ordered from the picture of a bowl of soup. She was frazzled and didn't know what to do she walked back-and-forth talking to other employees. Then she told me what she could do is give me the soup in a container and just to add the salad looking stuff into the hot soup. ( I don't know how she thought that I was going to put lettuce and carrots into the hot soup.) I said the steak has to be rare to be put in the soup not cooked like it is in the salad. She went on to walk back-and-forth and asked me to sit down. Then she explain to me how she was Fixing the problem and told me that next time to order it another way. I tapped her on the shoulder and said goodbye' and I took my order and left. When I got home I rated the pho. My daughter enjoyed the rare steak pho. I on the other hand have had better. Whittier pho and Rowland pho are much better. Sorry guys I tried and didn't have a good experience.
Nguyens Kitchen
11836 Whittier Blvd F, Whittier, CA 90601, United States
We came on opening day Wednesday at night and it was pretty packed. Parking was a bit rough but just keep looping around and someone ordering takeout should leave soon.The restaurant looked really nice inside and super clean. They had stools and booths inside for seating and some tables outside as well. We placed our order and the cashier was pretty nice and friendly. There were even little sample cups of their drinks. We tried the mango one, thai tea, and jasmine milk tea. I think theyre a little too sweet, but Im sure with ice it would be just right. Our total came to around $34ish for 4 things. We waited about 45 minutes as they were behind but I think the owner was even stepping in and apologized for the wait. Really nice service here.1. Yakisoba - 3/5Personal preference probably, but I wish there was more garlic flavor here. It was a bit flat for me. I did get it without meat, so itll probably be more flavorful if I did.2. Spicy Popcorn Chicken - 4/5You can choose your preference of Mild, Medium, or Spicy. This was nice and crunchy and juicy on the inside. I was craving a different kind of sauce than the one provided here. Ive had bomb popcorn chicken before but overall this was good. It came with a spicy but refreshing green sauce which paired well with the chicken and fries.3. Bulgogi Sandwich - 3.5/5Toasty bread and fresh veggies make a good combo with bulgogi, but we expected more flavor out of the bulgogi like at Korean bbq. Im not an expert though and overall it left more to be desired. Im not sure what the brown sauce was but it was a light umami flavored dip which complemented the sandwich well.4. Cajun Garlic Fries - 4.5/5Crispy horseshoe string fries with garlic and cajun seasoning. These were really good, but again I feel like the garlic flavor was a bit lacking.This was a nice start to the new restaurant and hopefully they can gain a smooth flow to push out those orders for some hangry customers like the other reviewer lol. Again at the end, I think it was the owner who was super courteous and took our trays and seemed to be fully hands on with everything. He really made this a 5 star experience.All these ratings are my personal preference. I encourage everyone to try anything theyre curious about on the menu!

Poke Parlor
1900 W Whittier Blvd, La Habra, CA 90631, United States
The food here is very good. However, this is our second time coming here and also the second time we've had bad customer service.As a poke place, I feel you really have three main factors to distinguish yourself by.1. Quality ingredients, which this place definitely has. Though let's be real, this factor probably isn't all that difficult for any given poke restaurant to manage. It's not like they have to cook much of anything.2. Price. This place is not cheap, but not outrageous either. The portions are reasonable. It'd be fine if not for…3. Customer service. I don't know if we just have had bad luck with our visits, but both times the staff have just been rude and inattentive. They rushed our choices, and tried to rush us forward to the next station, even though they had no other customers. I don't want to assume it's because they're trying to be skimpy with the portions/amount of options you choose, but it sure felt that way. And they also really don't seem like they want anything to do with actually serving their customers.Look, I can sympathize with the staff. I've worked in the restaurant industry. But c'mon, you're putting ingredients in a bowl, and that bowl isn't cheap. It's not particularly difficult to do, and hard to mess up up UNLESS you don't put a little effort into customer service. We got what we asked for, but it felt like pulling teeth, for no discernible reason.While the food here is pretty good, we won't be coming back anytime soon. If the prices were cheaper we could put up with poor customer service. But let's be honest: poke bowls are just good ingredients in a bowl. We have other options in area.Hopefully things change down the line and we can give it another try.

Food was excellent atmosphere was great but unfortunately had a very bad experience with the staff. My friend and I decided to stop by and try out the restaurant we went in ordered set down to eat outside patio area and 10 minutes after we had began eating the server comes and tells us that we have to leave that its closed start it putting away the chairs and the umbrella on the table next to the patio area. So we went inside to finish eating as I assume that he was closing up the patio area there was another customer when his two small children eating and another couple then they turned off the lights inside on all of us as we were still eating it was dark except for a small light in a kitchen area told us we had to leave there was no warning not even when we ordered where we made aware that they were closing soon I could not believe that we were being treated that way so I got up and asked to speak to the manager but there was no manager and asked can I have the number to the corporate office the employee said there was no corporate office and I asked for the number for the owner I expressed how could he treat customers this way and he said well I told you we were closing I said no you should have told us in the beginning when we were ordering to warn us that you guys were closing in 10 minutes told him it is not okay to treat people this way.
300 Bowl Coffee Shop
370 E Whittier Blvd, La Habra, CA 90631, United States
This eatery is an unexpected fusion of old-school american diner and americanized chinese food. Thats right, you read that correctly.Expect huge portions and delicious ones at that.I had a BLT and it was fantastic. The bread expertly prepared and toasted, lettuce and tomato crisp and fresh as if just picked. Bacon was crisp and excess bacon grease was removed. The accompanying string fries were also fried perfectly and not greasy, and they filled the plate. I loved the meal.My cohort ordered sweet and sour pork and vegetable fried rice. Again the portion filled a family sized plate to overflowing. The sweet and sour was delicate and the fried pork top notch. The vegetable fried rice was spiced to flavourful excellence.The server was also great, friendly and efficient, but not intrusive.No, I am not related to anyone attached to the restaurant. It was just such a surprise and pleasure to eat there. I know this review is a bit of a gush.Highest recommendation.
