    Dog friendly!
    Myan T.

    WOW!!! 10/10!!! I could not stop talking about how I wanted a sausage egg mcmuffin last night and it's like the culinary gods heard and said we'll do you one better. Enter - Rize Kitchen. We live in AD and have been waiting for a lowkey spot like this that serves incredible breakfast food with high quality ingredients. I was so impressed! I ordered the sun-rise with hash brown and my husband ordered the little big kahuna. My sun-rise was EXACTLY what I was craving but much more elevated. English muffin was soft, hash browns crispy, sausage patty umami, and melty cheese was perfect. To say I inhaled this sandwich would be an understatement. If I had room I would have tried my husband's sandwich - he loved it!! Spam + king's Hawaiian bread is such a classic combo for us. All sandwiches come with a beautiful kale and grape salad. Shout out to the chef for making us eat our greens! We got complimentary orange juice from the staff - excellent friendly service can be found here. This place is dog friendly!!! They had a water bowl near the front for your puppers. We brought our Luna and she enjoyed hanging and maybe got a few scraps... 100% will be back. This was such an excellent start to our day. We can't wait to try everything else!

    Brisket burrito
    Pearl R.

    The brisket burrito is bomb! Just walked by this restaurant by accident and walking into the restaurant was one of the best decision I made. It's definitely a must when you visit LA! The staff was very sweet and I love the vibe of the restaurant. It's gives a very jazzy, chill vibe! Definitely coming back here!!!

    Sun-Rise Sandwich (vegan) BOMB!
    Robert S.

    This place is amazing. The guys cooking are all kitchen gods. Honestly the burrito I got was the best. I was super excited about the breakfast sandwich but the burrito stole the show. Both hands down some of the best breakfast items I've ever had. Got the vegan breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich. Even my friend who isn't vegan said that was one of the best burritos she's ever had 100/100. I'll be back this weekend! Honorable mention that kale salad was just perfect!! Ps I love the big booths style seating!

    Ahh we finally came to visit Eddie and his new relocated place! The place has good comfortable seating indoors and a few chairs to sit outside as well. For small parties or large parties. The service was fast and friendly. The food taste just as delicious as before. So glad to see eddie thriving! Glad Steven and I came to visit! They are also pet friendly! Fresh, clean water bowl available for the furr kids.

    Sabanero Burrito (vegan)
    Jenisa J.

    To start off I just want to say that I am vegan! There menu has quality vegan options that's plant based as suppose to soy, which I greatly appreciate. The owner Eddy was so kind to me and made the restaurant feel like a home! I highly recommend this place whether you are vegan or not! The ambiance is very relaxed and comfortable. I got the sabanero burrito, would definitely come Here again

    Uptown Burrito
    Emma S.

    Finally tried this place after walking by for the longest time. We tried the uptown and brisket burritos. Both were solid in flavor and size. The uptown was a little salty but was loaded with filling. The brisket had a great amount for the price too. The burritos came with a side salad and it was BOMB. The salsa was delish too! We would def come back. I think they're card only so no pay with cash.

    I just had THE most magical breakfast burrito I've ever had. Thank you to Eddy for not only being a super cool dude, but for sharing his culinary genius with us simple peasants. The Vegan Lion's Mane Burrito will forever be a part of my heart. The bar is set high, my friend! Thank you times infinity.

    Been wanting to try Rize and finally had the opportunity to today. Conveniently located inside of Lift Coffee Roasters on the SW corner of Greenleaf and Bailey, right in the heart of Uptown Whittier. Lift is a nice "upscale" coffee roaster that we used to come to for various vegan pop-ups that they would host, and I must say, the permanent addition of Rize Kitchen seems so fitting and has elevated the overall atmosphere. Sunday morning 9am and while things were jammin', so were the employees of both establishments which was noticeable and resulted in a great flow, which benefits the entire experience so much. Nothing better than a bustling breakfast spot where everyone works in a synchronized fashion like a well oiled machine. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive at both businesses and the wait times were very reasonable given the crowd and rate at which they were cranking out orders. I had the vegan Sonriza burrito and my fiancée and future father in law had the vegan breakfast sandwiches with the optional addition of hash browns. Each item came with a delicious kale, grape, pumpkin seed, carrot, dried cranberry salad, and the burrito was amazing. Such a unique combination of flavors which is refreshing given the current climate of vegan food options and things becoming very homogenized as a result of the availability of vegan products. The sandwich is more aligned with a "standard" option, but still has their own twist to make it their own, and the critics of my party had rave reviews - "the sun dried tomato aioli is awesome!", one critic exclaimed. Happy to report this place is a big success and that it further enhances another local business that was already great in its own right. Will definitely be back!

    Sabanero Burrito (Vegan)
    Edward R.

    Found this place a while back but never had the time to visit before they close, today I had the opportunity and they didn't not let me down! I ordered the 3 vegan options they have, sabanero burrito, Sun-rise breakfast sandwich, and the BTLA sandwich. First off, the owner was very helpful and told us about the items we were ordering, he gave us his suggestion to add the hash brown to the Sun-rise sandwich, which added a better taste (fyi, add it if you order it). Overall great experience and great flavor on the food, it was consistent on all items. One thing I can recommend, is not to remove the sauces, that is what gives it a better taste! Kudos to the owner and we will be back! If you are in the area and to try their food, make sure you check their hours before visiting them.

    I came during lunch time and it was packed. The host was so sweet and handed us some menus to look…read moreover while we waited for our entire party to arrive. Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.

    Dining While Black…read more Location- Great setup, half indoor & outdoor. I was curious about the level of accessibility and clearer directions on where to stand when the line passes the framing of the restaurant. But Great Downey location! Diversity score 1-5: 1.5 As a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace professional, in order to garner financial success of any business is to be intentional about representation in your business. Money is green and people of all backgrounds have access to it. In an effort to reach a larger marketplace, your staffing is the first step towards reaching financial goals and attracting more business. Diversity is not just about color but it also includes accessibility for the handicapped community, Braille menus, and possibly more signage that displays the type of service a customer can expect. Please contact me for consultation services. Service/Ambiance/Environment: The service is where my issue lies. I did appreciate that as we were waiting in line to enter, we were given menus to assist in deciding what we wanted before we reached the inside. The cashiers were both super nice and even offered a taste of the Rose' slushy which was phenomenal. When ordering at the register, the sweet service was continued and we chose where to sit. It was bright and busy inside and we sat right in front of the expo station. I was truly enjoying the environment and it had me reminiscing of my brunch days in New York City. My guest and I were chatting and enjoying our Mimosa's and then my guests food arrives first. Not that it matters but in service certain things do and the female presenting person SHOULD always receive their food first. That was a surprise to me but I didn't read into as I expected my dish to arrive right behind. It did not. My guest and I continued to chat and sip until 20 mins later, as I'm watching dishes leave the expo station, did I say "where is my food?" The young server at the expo turned and rolled their eyes and then finally gave me my food. This was a buzz kill. I only went down a rabbit hole about it until I noticed I was the only Black person present. First, why would it ever been ok to not have dishes arriving to tables separately without saying "ma'am we're a little behind.." or to my guest "do you mind if we hold your dish a bit so we can make sure the food arrives together?" Being a previous server in high pace restaurants, communication, apologies, and ensuring perfect service is the goal. Poached is not a store front or even a little diner type of place. It's a casual, upbeat, bright breakfast/brunch spot. And yes, on busy days things happen but to not offer a reason, or apology, and giving the customer attitude is unacceptable. Food: The description of the food is well written. The prices are reasonable. I ordered the short rib omelette with whole grain toast and house potatoes. When I Finally received my food it looked great and I was eager to dig in. A first bite of the omelette I was sadly underwhelmed. The seasoning left much to be desired and it seamed to be more of a birria short rib flavor and I thought I chose the dish based on being excited about the combination of meat and cheese (which was barely there). I enjoyed the bread and potatoes more than the omelette. Go again score 1-5: 2 I really think this restaurant and it's operation needs some massaging, the cooks need to be trained, and a REAL chef needs to help improve the quality and taste of the food.
