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.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and the customer service is honestly great. The staff is friendly and willing to recommend their favorite menu items if you're not sure what to order. I've been here twice, and both visits were about the same. The food was okay. It wasn't disappointing, but it also wasn't something that really stood out to me. I've had better vegan food at other places, so I left feeling somewhat neutral. It's a decent option if you're looking for vegan food in the area, and I still encourage others to give it a try because everyone's taste and experience can be different.

The food came out extremely fast so a great option for a quick lunch. The tacos de mi abuela were light and crispy with a lot of filling. The ground beef and chorizo filling wasn't hit for me though. The taquitos were delicous. Short rib filling was tender and flavorly and the green salsa on the plate paired well with it. The enchilada with mole had mixed reactions between my wife and myself. She enjoyed it, while I didn't. I thought the mole was overly bitter, while she enjoyed the smokiness of it. I felt the tortilla and cheese cooled down too quickly m causing them to be on the harder side, like an uncooked tortilla from a package. The churro was the highlight of the meal. They were fresh, crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside. The salted caramel was perfect for dipping. Overall the food was good, glad we got to try it finally. Would be a good place to go get some churros before bowling next door.

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!

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!

After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.

The omakase menu was perfect for our group because we got to try a little bit of everything instead of ordering just one entrée.

I grew up in an area with a strong Japanese culture, so I used to eat this type of food pretty regularly. Now I only get to have it maybe once a year when I visit home, so I was excited to find a place that offered it! We ordered the scallop risotto, spinach & uni pasta, crispy tofu, and Chinese chicken salad. Overall, everything was decent, but nothing really blew me away. The scallop risotto was creamy and pretty heavy, with a little too much salt for my taste. The spinach & uni pasta was good, but there was no actual uni--just pasta, spinach, and what seemed like a uni cream sauce. I was expecting some actual uni based on the name. The dishes were all okay and worth trying if you're craving something somewhere between Japanese and Italian, but I wouldn't say they were particularly memorable. The service, though, was great--friendly and fast--and the restaurant has a cozy, pleasant atmosphere. Glad I tried it, especially for the nostalgia factor, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for the food alone.

There were so many ways to get to a seat but we decided to go to the desk area to wait to be seated.

So once we grabbed our seats, the waiter went to the front desk and brought our menus. They were very nice and one was a Dallas cowboys fan, so she started playing like she couldn't serve me because of my Eagle hat. Anyway, we enjoyed the service and our waitress. As for the food, I ordered the fish tacos and they were ok. I'm not sure I would get them again. Also the kids meals looked very plain and boring (penne pasta with nothing on it and a cheese pizza). We did say we weren't going to really eat much because we were headed to Knott's Boysenberry Festival so we were saving room for that. Overall, it was a decent meal and nothing to write home about. There wasn't anything wrong because my kids ate their food and I thought my tacos were just ok.

Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I were considering our options for where to have brunch to celebrate one of our friend's retirement. Toast was one of the names I dropped in the metaphorical hat, and it won the vote of a few. My friends were surprised that I had named a spot I hadn't yet tried since I'm usually the "foodie" of the group. However, another girl in the group who had been here before vouched for it. I'm glad I finally got to try this place this past weekend, and I cannot wait to return! There were so many things on their menu that I wanted to try. A couple of the ladies ordered green chilaquiles, the friend we were celebrating ordered the Spanish Omelet, another woman I'd met that day had the bacon and eggs, another one ordered the Biscuits and grave with a side of bacon that looked perfectly crispy. I wish I had taken pictures of the plates as it all looked so lovely! I didn't even take a picture of my own food haha. I had my eyes on an omelet, one of the Benedicts or the Chicken n Waffle. In the end, the chicken and waffle won. It comes served with a little container of maple syrup with bacon pieces. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle was delicious, though I did request for some extra syrup on the side. To drink, a few ladies ordered mimosas, one ordered an iced caramel coffee, and I ordered the Carajillo. I fell in love with this drink last summer in Mexico and do not often see it on the menu. I love the subtle citrus notes the Licor 43 adds to this espresso drink. It is very similar to an espresso martini, and theirs comes topped with a toasted marshmallow. I honestly wanted to try almost every item in their Tipsy Barista section of their drinks. I'll just have to come back that many more times :) Plenty of parking in the mall lot. It does get pretty packed during peak hours. Fortunately I had called ahead to put our group of 6 down. We went in on Saturday around 11:30. It slowed down a bit while we were eating, but started to get busy again after 1. Otherwise, we might have been forced to honor their 90-minute rule. All in all, a great experience from everyone in our group. No complaints on the wait, service or food. That certainly deserves a toast. Great job, Toast!
