Had I not stumbled…read moreupon it during my childhood visits to the Cerritos Town Center, I might have never given it a second look. Chef Richard, in his later years, continues to craft delectable dishes and his warm and inviting hospitality makes you feel like a cherished guest. However, please note that reservations are mandatory. In February 2025, I had the pleasure of dining at Arte Cafe with my closest friends, and this month, I was delighted to bring my husband along. We savored a delightful array of dishes, including the sashimi, lobster bisque, and the succulent rack of lamb. To conclude our exquisite meal, we indulged in the decadent crème brûlée. The service at Arte Cafe was nothing short of exceptional. We were treated to an intimate dining experience and almost had the entire restaurant to ourselves. It truly is a gem that deserves to be cherished and preserved for generations to come.

First of all the food is amazing. Richard does a great job every single time we're there.

I greatly appreciated that they also made accommodations for seating comfortable.5/5 Iced matcha with oatmilk and house whipped cream stole the show! 5/5 Definitely look forward to going back again soon

I'm so glad I finally tried The Mustard Seed! This place is such a great find in Cerritos - and…read moreshare with other eateries. The inside is small with about handful of tables and "earthy " decor including a wooden trunk!! The Loco Moco was definitely a standout. The flavors, textures, and presentation were all on point. The only recommitted loco moco is ask the gravy on the side meal was overtly drench with the sauce. We also tried the "fish tacos" (vegan version, of course) and were really impressed and taco was crunchy, but my only complaint is it was messy eating after the 2nd bite -- the fillings seemed to be falling apart and out of the taco shell. The food is flavorful and honestly makes you forget you're eating vegan. The service was great---friendly staff and fast service. Whether you're vegan or just curious about trying plant-based comfort food, I will come back to Mustard Seed a try the burritos next time.

First, positive was that the customer service was amazing . It was only my husband and I and another table there while we weee dining in . The waitress was very kind, explained what they were out of that evening and was very attentive. Our food came out piece meal , but everything was a great temperature and quick to table. We tried the chips and guacamole. I really enjoyed the chips . I don't know if they are house made, but they had a great flavor. The guacamole was ok not the best but certainly not the worst. I had the tater tots as a side, and you get a lot! They were crunchy and perfect with lots to share and take home,l. My husband ordered a steak burrito I believe which he very much enjoyed . I had the crispy chicken wrap which I have to say I was not a fan of. The homemade vegan ranch tasted a little off to me and had a weird texture . The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing although I was not a fan of the "elevator and holding music " that was playing in the background. . Parking was a bit of a hassle because there are a lot of restaurants in the area , but it wasn't too bad . All in all I am not sure we would be back for the food, but the customer service was excellent.

First and foremost, the Chef Series is a showstopper! The chefs are absolute magicians in the kitchen, and you can genuinely feel the love and passion they put into their creations.

They made you feel right at home and did a fantastic job with the dishes and pairing the drinks.But what really sets this place apart is their pre-dinner mingling and during dinner they have giveaways. It's like a little dinner party before the main event! The cherry on top? The chef explaining each dish that paired with the drink before it's served. It's like a sneak peek behind the culinary curtain, and it adds a whole new level of appreciation for what you're about to devour.

The only downside was the wait time, as the food took quite a while to come out. Additionally, the waiter could have been a bit friendlier and more attentive, which would have made the overall experience even better. Overall, if you're looking for authentic, delicious pupusas, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The quality of the food makes it worth the visit! The atmosphere felt great.

One of my favorite things about them is their "Hoppy Hour," offered daily from 3-6 PM and then from 9 PM-close. They have a great selection of bites at pretty budget-friendly prices, starting at just $4! Some of my go-to Hoppy Hour orders are the Half-Order Truffle Cheese Fries, Mac N' Cheese Balls, Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts, and Nachos with added steak. The Truffle Cheese Fries are always a must for me. The fries are covered in this decadent white truffle cheese sauce that is so savory and flavorful. The Mac N' Cheese Balls are perfectly crunchy on the outside and filled with beer cheese sauce and Fresno chiles with ranch on the side for dipping. The Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts are one of my favorites because they have this orange chile glaze that is super addicting. For something a little more filling, I like getting the Nachos and adding steak. They come with refried beans, chipotle sauce, crema, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. I always ask for extra onions, tomatoes and cilantro on the side. For the steak, we ordered it medium rare, and they cooked it perfectly! Now, let's talk about the burgers because every burger I've tried here has been solid. I've had the Barbecue Bacon Burger, which comes with shoestring onions, bacon, cheddar, and beer barbecue sauce. You really can't go wrong with this classic. My current top two favorites are the Fresno Fig Burger and the Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger. The Fresno Fig has this delicious sweet-and-savory combination with fig marmalade, melted goat cheese, and bacon. I love how the sweetness of the fig contrasts with the tanginess of the goat cheese and the savory/salty bacon. The Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger is definitely on the decadent side with bone marrow shiitake butter, grilled onions, and horseradish mustard aioli. Everything comes together to make a rich and flavorful burger. It's one of the pricier burgers on the menu, but for me, it's worth every dime! For something on the lighter side, I've also tried the Cobb Salad with added grilled chicken and the Caesar Salad with seared salmon. Nothing particularly groundbreaking, but it's always nice to get some greens in between all those burgers and fries. I'm always coming back to Eureka! for their "Hoppy Hour" and burgers. Eureka! continues to be such a reliable comfort-food spot.

Then ordered our dinner which was 2 burgers and a protein bowl for me. Protein bowl was a big miss! Sad because it's my favorite dish! I had to send it back and waited a very long time for my burger . So long that I lost my appetite. I then requested the burger to go. Waited some more and at this point I had to ask the manager to cancel the burger. Manager was apologetic and comped the burger. I appreciate the comp and apologies. However waiting for a long time is just unacceptable. As we left the manager once again apologized and gave us 2 discount cards for a future visit. Thank you!

They have an organized seating system with teams of people with headsets scurrying around. Our server was a little green in terms of his interpersonal skills but we tried to tease the recticence out of him...semi-successfully! Our meal, which was more like a snack since we were in town for a late night performance and needed a place to light, was the perfect meal. Somehow word got out that it was our first visit to this Lazy Dog, and one of the line cooks appeared at our table to welcome us. He was very impressive and welcoming; we were a bit taken aback by the proactive hospitality. He said he'd like to welcome us with a complimetary bowl of their Tangy BBQ chips that came with some delicious dipping sauce. We were delighted. And those chips -- OMG, not your typical homemade chip. Next, we ordered the Brussels sprouts which were awesome and delicious. Then the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad that comes with greens, carrots, radish, avocado, pickled cucumbers, peanut ponzu vinaigrette and soy dipping sauce on the side . So delicious! The tuna was fresh and perfectly cooked with lovely a seasoned crust and pink ahi filet. We still had time before we were due at our date, so ordered coffee, then refills...and more refills, LOL! ( No wonder our performance was so wired) The staff was happy to have us linger. We did not feel rushed, and there was no pressue to vacate our table. We salivated over other menu items, and have talked about going back to try a few. We don't need an excuse to drive to Downey but we'll be looking for one! Loved this unexpected experience! Would give more stars for the braintrust behind the customer experience here ;-)
