Food was amazing overall! It's a small shop vibe with a very small dog friendly patio. Service was so kind and attentive - gives you a real family vibe! Mango Sticky Rice pancakes were to die for!! Never had such a good flavor sauce, usually other places taste really artificial but this was tasty. Chicken all around for every plate was great, maybe a little dry but well seasoned. Coconut rice ia the choice of rice to go! Will be back when I'm craving those pancakes and waffles. read more

Like I mentioned before, my family and I are on a mission to try 1-2 new breakfast spots each month because of how much we love breakfast food. This was the second stop on our list, and it turned out to be a great choice. Since the restaurant is on the smaller side, it can get pretty crowded on weekends. We decided to go on a weekday morning instead and were seated right away, which made for a relaxed start to our meal. The menu has a solid variety of options, so we already know we'll be back to try more. For food, my wife ordered the Monte Cristo along with a passion fruit lemonade. The sandwich was good overall, though it leaned a bit more savory than I personally prefer--I tend to like my Monte Cristos on the sweeter side, so I would've preferred a little less mustard. That said, the passion fruit lemonade was excellent and an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys a refreshing, fruity drink. I went with the Belly Bomb Panini and added sausage to take it up a notch. Flavor-wise, it delivered, but the bread did get soggy fairly quickly. It didn't bother me much, though I know texture can be a dealbreaker for some people. What really stood out for me was the Starburst lemonade--it was easily my favorite drink of the meal, and I couldn't get enough of it. For our son, we ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Sauce Pancakes, which ended up being a hit for all of us. He especially loved them, and honestly, we didn't even need syrup. The combination of the sticky rice sauce, whipped cream, and mango created the perfect balance of sweetness. My only wish is that the portion came with a bit more sauce and fruit. Overall, we were really happy with both our visit and our food choices. There are definitely some standout items here that are worth trying, and we're looking forward to coming back and adding more favorites to our list. read more

Excitement to disappointment really quick First time going here due to people posting how good the food. If you are hungry don't go here. We arrived 11:30am thinking the wait is not that bad. We waited more than an hour which is fine since our kid was sleeping on the car. We got called and ordered food around 12:43am. We ordered hot drinks to have something while waiting and took them a long time to deliver to our surprise it's not hot! We asked our server if they can at least microwave it. Took them a while too! Our food came at 1:35Pm. And they got wife's order wrong. Smh! I got waffle chicken with is good. I will give it 4 stars My wife did not finish her monte Cristo due to not being good but due to disappointment! While eating they decided to fold the umbrella so we are eating under the hot frigging sun! Ps. Restroom needs maintenance. Needed to pee and the lid was full of poop splatter. You also need to pay first when you order so you are held hostage until you get your food. They are seating people more than they can handle so a lot of people are waiting for so long! We see the faces of disappointment. Food : 4 stars Service : 1.5 stars Restroom: nasty Are we going back here?most Definitely not.. read more

Arize Bistro - Waffle chicken and my wife's wrong order given. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food looks beautiful but sadly no flavor!! The eggs were soaking wet ( I ordered scrambled eggs) I ask to send them back and the gentleman offered for them to cook them more! By this he meant taking the eggs that sat for 15 minutes wet next to me until he returned to ask us how we were doing then they tried recooking the eggs! Mind you when you order you pay! You have no idea what you're getting yourself into until it's in front of you. Staff was friendly but unfortunately the seasoning wasn't in the food and that egg incident will keep me from returning I forgot to mention that the mimosas are overly priced and really distasteful! Had I known it was coming room temperature in a plastic cup mixed the syrup I would've passed! Taste like Andre's which gave me a terrible headache The one star is due to having leave one for the review to post read more

I can't say much about the ambiance as I didn't sit down. Got to-go order, it was fast in preparation. They have an online order service, which I enjoy very much. In the to-go order, I feel that the price was worth the amount of food we received. I had to take a break and eat the 1/4 residual for a later brunch. Definitely on the radar to go again! read more

This is definitely a solid brunch spot in Long Beach. I came here last weekend with a few friends, and we were pretty early, about 10am, so finding seating was easy. You order at the front and then they'll bring your food out to you, so no one is really checking on you throughout your dining experience. I ordered the Thai tea boba pancakes and the fried chicken biscuit. The pancakes were not bad, but very unique to add boba on top I thought! The fried chicken was pretty tasty and definitely a lot more chick n than biscuit. The biscuit was thick and dense, but still good. Overall, a good solid breakfast! read more

Ate here last week with my parents after my cousin recommended it so much. Parking is on the street, parking meter most likely. That's what we did anyway. We were greeted by a friendly face. She was very patient as we were first timers here and even recommended some of the more popular items, such as the chicken & waffles plate and the mango rice pancakes. My parents opted for the Baja Baby Skillet which they shared. A bit odd that they don't offer toast with their breakfast plates; instead you get a biscuit. What we all really enjoyed was that salad on their plate. I would take that over toast anyway. So good! The potatoes seemed a bit overcooked for my preference, but good flavor. I ordered the mixed berries French toast and scrambled eggs a la carte. I was surprised by the amount of egg I got but honestly, I was disappointed with the French toast. They claim "4 triangles" which is usually 2 pieces of bread cut in half diagonally, but this was literally just one slice cut in 4 triangles. It was good, but I felt deceived. Haha. I also was expecting mixed berries which is usually any combination of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries; what I got instead was strawberries and two kinds of grapes. No complaints on the fruit as they were delicious and perfect texture. I was just expecting something else. Our coffee was good, a bit on the weaker side but good flavor. We appreciated that they also brought us a bit of milk in addition to the creamer cups. The girl who greeted us and took our order was also who brought us our coffee and food. She checked on us a couple times. Again, very great service, very sweet. I'd return just because of that and maybe try other things on their menu. read more

Basic breakfast, not tasting the Asian fusion. I feel like they miss the opportunity to create amazing dishes. The chicken biscuit was good but missed the spices I would otherwise expect from maybe a Thai flavored fried chicken or any sort of Asian flavors that could have been incorporated. I see on the menu they had more Asian inspired sweet options like mango sticky rice pancakes and boba pancakes though. I didn't try since we aren't sweet breakfast girls. The coconut americano is nice, refreshing. It's an americano made with coconut water. They had a lot of coffee and drink options. This restaurant is very much self serve, you place your order at the front, Pay and get your number and someone will bring it to your table. The server that took the order and brought it to your table was very nice! Condiments in a centralized area so you can help yourself. Cute and cozy vibes. Okay but would not actively crave. read more

Arize Bistro - Mango sticky pancakes and a monte Cristo. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Arize Bistro is a small mom n pop spot in downtown Long Beach with a very chill vibe. It really feels like you're eating in grandma's kitchen, which I liked a lot. The food is good, and the menu is simple. It is a bit on the pricier side for what you get, but still enjoyable. They're open for breakfast and lunch, which makes it a nice local spot to stop by. One thing to note takeout can take a little longer than expected. Also, it would be great to see more variety added to the menu and maybe a small facelift to the interior. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10. A solid spot with a cozy feel. read more

Arize Bistro is a super popular place in Long Beach, and I had wanted to see what the hype was about for a while. The restaurant was on the smaller side, and the wait was long, which was expected, but after a while, it seemed to be overly long. The service was pretty mediocre and the food was decent but the presentation of the chicken, waffles, and potatoes just seemed impractical with everything stacked on top of each other. read more

Waited for 35 minutes to be seated when a man came in with a crack pipe was kick out and then there was at least 3 tables that was empty when I walked away I was still waiting so this shows they need help badly and if the food is as good it looks I hope the next time I come to try it so bugs will be worked out. read more

my lovely, perfect, handsome boyfriend found this beaut. we've actually been to this spot one other time back when we first started dating. he wanted me to try the iced pistachio latte & realized shortly after we got it that it wasn't the best, so he vowed to bring me back & try it hot. which was a whole winner. we were finally up early enough for him to remind me of this place. and yes, it's worth getting up early for. i think it's the first time we've publicly fought over foodie items because that mango sticky rice pancake i ordered was amazing. the syrup was perfect. i loved it more than the monte cristo my boyfriend ended up getting (clearly because i barely left any for him, oops) arize bistro is probably the only place i've downed a cup of thai iced coffee. not too bitter, not too sweet. read more

If I could give it more stars I would!! My son has been there before. We went today for lunch, when he's off work he likes to spend time with his mamma, we both order the chicken and waffles with potatoes. The food was so delicious!! I do recommend this place. It's a good idea to have the menu out front order and go sit down and wait. The atmosphere is great. The man that helps take the order is really nice. I hope we go back soon. The food was delicious!! read more

My husband and I stopped here today. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. It was early on a Monday morning so it wasn't too busy and the vibe was great. Would definitely recommend. My husband had waffles, bacon and eggs. I had a sausage and egg biscuit. Chefs kiss for both meals. Not sure of the name of the man that greeted us and provided service but he was so kind. Great place! read more

Service: The server/cashier Pat was the sweetest, kindest soul. He was very accomodating, and you could tell that he was happy to see you and have you in their cafe. Got a table right away, it was not packed. The biggest downfall though was the wait - it took a full 55mins for the food to be served (from the time it was ordered). For the place of that size, at 11am, it was quite a ridiculously long wait for two plates of food. The coffee was served warm, not hot, and that it was served 30mins after ordering. The coffee ran out, long before the food came. Food: Ordered Chicken and Waffles, Mango Sticky Rice Pancakes, Coffee and two fried eggs. Nothing special, taste-wise. I appreciate that the waffles, eggs and the pancakes were piping hot when served though - it was fresh. Chicken and coffee were warm and it was off-putting Ambience: it was alright. Typical, cute, and clean. Parking is metered on the street. And the cafe is a mere 1-2min walk. I don't think we will be back. Sorry. read more

Great cozy spot for all day breakfast or lunch. It does get busy and it is very small so be prepared to wait for a table and/or your food.

Arize Bistro - Mango sticky rice pancakes, Thai tea and chicken & waffles. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Long wait (and I mean long...we waited over an hour for our food) but everything that came out was fresh, yummy, and delicious! Their fried chicken is nothing to sneeze about, it's fresh, crispy, and well seasoned. Every time I found a little craggly end piece I felt like I hit the prize at the bottom of a cereal box. Instant dopamine rush. Kiddos loved their waffles and eggs -- serving size is huge so one plate served two kids (plus hungry adults waiting for their food). Not a destination spot but great if you're in the neighborhood looking to support a local business. read more

Would definitely try again! I ordered the Chicken and Waffles which was ok, it came with syrup and a sweet mayo. Waffle was great, crispy and fluffy, chicken was tasty but had some issues with undercooked batter. I also got a Thai tea, which was decent. The service was good, you order at the front desk and seat yourself. The patio area is very cute but surrounding area is not super scenic. Inside had a nice feel. Overall, my meal wasn't super but I have a feeling their specialty drinks and sweeter brunch options, like the mango sticky rice pancakes, are probably their top items. I will be going back to try more! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! We came here on a family vacation and it was so good we had to fit in the capacity to come twice! The chicken and waffles!!! My goodness.

We mainly came for the mango sticky rice pancakes and it did not disappoint like genuinely some of my fave pancakes ever! The panini and biscuit were also amazing but nothing that we haven't had before. I will say that the potatoes that come with them tho were perfectly seasoned and very addicting. We also saw they had Thai drinks with matcha cold foam so ofc we had to order and the foam was so yummy. I ordered the Thai Tea but think the coffee is better bc it's the right amount of bitter yet sweet. read more

Thai inspired brunch place in Long Beach. Its a small establishment so be prepared for a wait on the weekends. I recommend joining the online waitlist through Toast app. Parking wasnt terrible as everyone says, there were plenty of street parking along Elm Street (come on Sunday for free parking) For a thai inspired brunch place, id expect there to be more thai fusion menu items. However the only unique item was the mango sticky rice pancakes. Their chicken and waffles were solid though. Drinks could use some work. The thai iced tea was mostly sugar and milk. The matcha latte needs some work, it tasted like 95% almond milk with a splash of matcha. Good thing I used the yelp check in for that read more

Came here to try something new, but it wasn't anything to brag about. We waited almost an hour for our food, and it only came out right as we were about to leave and ask for it to go. The staff didn't seem very attentive or concerned. What made it more frustrating was that a couple who sat down near us received their food within 10 minutes, while we were still waiting. Overall, it just wasn't a great experience. read more

Arize Bistro was a random choice one day when we went Long Beach to check out record shops. I had their Cold brew and Bomb omelette. I was surprised how good their Cold brew was. A cold and refreshing dark cup of java that danced on my taste buds. I don't know how they made the eggs in the Bomb omelette but it was super fluffy. Combined with the bacon, sausage and cheese it was one of the best egg omelette that I've had. Next time? They have a humongo chicken sausage that looks so good. read more

Arize Bistro - Chicken burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Came here on a Friday and street parking was pretty abundant around 11:30. Order at the counter, take a number, take a seat. Water dispenser is in the room, so refills are quick. I'm honestly just a little disappointed with the savory, however the Mango Sticky Rice pancakes were delicious. The pancakes themselves were light and fluffy, and the sauce was amazing. The wait for the following tallied ~23 minutes, and it wasn't as busy. The plus is, I knew that the food was going to be hot and fresh. The Chicken and waffles was just...no. While the waffle was decent, especially for a sandwich style of firmness, but the chicken had absolutely NO flavor. It surprised me quite honestly. On top of that, it tip-toed that line of the breading being burnt...so it was just slightly bitter. Not even the Aioli that came with it could save it. The Sweet Breakfast sandwich was OK. A lotta egg, but can't help feel like this would have all been better separated as a breakfast plate instead of a sandwich. On both plates were the potatoes...and this was a huge flop. I guess this is were all the seasoning from my chicken went, because they were overly seasoned, overdone/overly-mushy inside (read no crisp). AND I LOVE POTATOS. I AM POTATO. All in all, I can see why so many people love this place, and why the overwhelming vibe is very positive... but I think we caught them on an off day. Unfortunately for that, I probably would not give this place a 2nd thought for breakfast... I would still give them a shot based on their lunch menu. read more
